Chapter 1640 You Just Offended Me
Xiao Peng originally thought that it was Cassin or Van der Laupe who came, but it turned out to be Albrecht Heidegger from BMW.
"Xiao, you should welcome me after not seeing me for so long. Why won't you let me in?" Albrecht said with a smile.
After hearing this, Xiao Peng coughed dryly and said, "Um... wait for me to change my clothes, and then we'll meet in the lobby."
He was about to close the door after he finished speaking.
Albrecht pushed the door open and said, "What are you doing? I know you're here. I flew from Germany to Olomouc, then flew from Olomouc to Přemys, down the mountain, and then drove here. I'm exhausted from the whole journey. You can't even get into my room?"
Xiao Peng was about to speak when a disheveled, short-haired girl, who looked like she had just gotten out of bed, came out from behind him. "Since your friend is here, I won't keep you! Sir, could you please make way?"
After she finished speaking, she nodded to Albrecht, motioning him to move aside, and then she walked out of the room.
Just as Albrecht was about to speak, he heard another voice from behind Xiao Peng: "Honey, wait for me!"
Then another girl ran out, this one wearing only her underwear, holding her clothes to cover her important parts before running out. Albrecht was shocked. How could she leave like that? Then he saw the two of them go straight to the next room.
Xiao Peng laughed awkwardly, "Uh, Albrecht, don't overthink it. These are my neighbors, a couple. They were scared by the heavy snow last night, so they came to my room to talk about their ideals and life. Why, do you want to come in and sit for a while?"
Albrecht coughed twice and said, "I'd better go to the lobby and wait for you."
"Okay, wait for me for a moment, I'll wash up." Xiao Peng said.
Just as he was about to close the door, Albrecht suddenly stopped and turned to Xiao Peng, saying, "Xiao, we're friends, right? Next time, find a more appropriate excuse. Talking about ideals and life? Are you sure you're not talking about strangers?"
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines, and he quickly drove Albrecht away.
Not long after, Xiao Peng came downstairs and saw Albrecht sitting in the lobby drinking coffee. He sat down across from Albrecht and said, "Albrecht, why do you always like to come to me when I'm skiing? And it's always during a blizzard! I finally understand, you're the one who caused these blizzards!"
Albrecht said, "Xiao, that's enough! I don't know how I offended you! It feels like you've been avoiding me!"
Xiao Peng got anxious after hearing this: "How did you offend me?"
His voice was a little loud, attracting everyone's attention. Xiao Peng said to the waiter, "Give me a 'Kendi Rizzi' breakfast. Albrecht, have you eaten?"
Albrecht nodded: "Eat it."
This kind of "Kendirizi" is a dish that the locals try. It is a "foreign dumpling" with a bread crust as big as two palms and stuffing. It tastes unique when paired with the local sauerkraut and dipping sauce.
Xiao Peng said bluntly, "How dare you say that? I just returned to the Netherlands and William came to complain to me! What the hell did you do to me?"
Albrecht said, "Didn't you say your Cessna was flooded and asked me to get you some scrap from Afghanistan? I've got a shipload for you, and it's sitting at the dock at Amsterdam. You can pick it up anytime."
Xiao Peng sighed, "Albrecht, you'll be upset if you don't take me to court! I was shocked when William gave me the cargo list! I'm very grateful for giving me two Cessnas, look at those things behind! One Toucan? Okay, I'll take it! Two Black Hawk helicopters, I can accept that too—you've dismantled the weapons anyway! I can also accept two ScanEagle drones, I can put them on the ship for fun, right? But what's the big deal about you giving me forty M1A1 tanks?"
"Hey, that's it!" Albrecht said dismissively, "Those tanks destroyed the inside when they retreated. I gave it to you so you could give it as a toy, maybe to a museum or amusement park."
Xiao Peng asked doubtfully, "Do the Americans still have tanks over there?"
Albrecht said, "Originally, there wasn't one. However, after 2011, a Marine tank battalion was stationed in Helmand Province. After they evacuated, they couldn't take anything with them, so they destroyed the internal facilities and left them there."
A normal American armored battalion consists of 44 tanks, but a Marine Corps armored battalion consists of 70 tanks and 36 anti-tank vehicles.
Xiao Peng said angrily, "Aren't you trying to trick me? The Netherlands only has 22 tanks! They were terrified when they saw 40 tanks shipped there! Now many people think I'm planning a coup!"
Albrecht laughed heartily. "I know. The Netherlands didn't have an armored force before 2016. It was an armored battalion established together with Germany. They were just broken tanks with no ammunition. Who would use that to stage a coup?"
Xiao Peng said helplessly, "We know it's broken, but no one else knows! And you used 'scrap steel' to declare it. Do you know how scared the Dutch customs were? If it wasn't shipped to me, I'd be arrested as a warmonger in a matter of minutes!"
Albrecht curled his lips and said, "That's how the Dutch are. They make a fuss about everything. So how did you resolve this?"
Xiao Peng sighed and said, "I gave it all to William. They can do whatever they want with it!"
"You don't want anything?" Albrecht was surprised when he heard this. This was different from what he had expected.
"Indeed." Xiao Peng was about to speak when the waiter brought breakfast over: "Thank you, wouldn't you like some?"
Albrecht asked, "You don't want anything?"
Xiao Peng took a bite of his breakfast and said, "That's true. No matter how rich and famous I am, I'm just an ordinary businessman. How could I dare to provoke the Americans? You know the relationship between our country and theirs. If I got my hands on so much weaponry, I would definitely be targeted by the Americans. That would be beyond my ability. I just wanted to make a little money. Now that I've made enough money, can't I live the life I want?"
Albrecht asked, "So what kind of life do you want now?"
Xiao Peng said, "Just a quiet life like this, skiing, racing, dragging decent girls into the water and helping them become good women..."
"And applauding love with lesbian couples." Albrecht said directly, "I was much more playful than you when I was young. Xiao, I'm here to talk to you this time."
Xiao Peng said directly: "Nonsense, you must have something to ask me. You can't be here just to introduce me to a wife, right?"
"Hmm? Do you need it?"
“…Let’s get down to business!”
