"Major General Huo, you're being too alarmist." Deputy Minister Xu of the Secret Service was displeased. "I've already said that we're keeping a close eye on them. The moment they cross the border and pick up these weapons will be the moment they die. Although some innocent bystanders may lose their lives in the process, it's all worth it for the sake of the Empire's national interest. "
"National interest? I didn't expect Deputy Minister Xu to know about national interest. " Huo Shaoheng sneered as he let go of Deputy Minister Wu's slender neck. He wiped his hands with a tissue in disdain and didn't even look at the coughing Deputy Minister Wu. "Then may I ask, Deputy Minister Xu, what is the national interest in your heart?"
Deputy Minister Xu opened his mouth to remind Huo Shaoheng of the Chinese-American lady's immense wealth and the blueprints in her hands. However, when he saw Speaker Long and General Ji's equally cold eyes, he suddenly couldn't bring himself to say anything.
He had thought that this was a very normal and righteous act. Why did it suddenly seem so wrong?
Huo Shaoheng pulled out a chair and sat down. He looked at Deputy Minister Xu and Deputy Minister Wu coldly. "So, Deputy Minister Xu and Deputy Minister Wu, for the sake of the best interests in your hearts, you didn't hesitate to bring mercenaries into the country and set up this plan to use the lives of your own people as bait to help the foreign tycoons eliminate their enemies. I have reason to suspect that you're working together from the inside and outside, and that you're spies who have infiltrated our government. Don't you think that the 6th Military Region should be involved in something like this? "
"Nonsense!"
"You're making irresponsible accusations!"
Deputy Minister Xu and Deputy Minister Wu jumped up in unison and fought to profess their innocence. They had never done anything wrong to the country or its people.
"You really didn't?" Huo Shaoheng threw the list of smuggled weapons that Zhao Liangze had sent to him on the conference table. "Look at the weapons for yourselves. If these heavy weapons were to fall into the hands of those mercenaries, it would be a complete disaster for the citizens of C City. "
"… But we promised to help Ms. Gu get rid of these mercenaries." Deputy Minister Wu didn't even look at the weapons list. "I don't care how difficult it is. We promised our friends, so we must do it! This is the magnanimity of a great nation! "
"Bullsh * t!" Huo Shaoheng couldn't help but curse. "What kind of bullsh * t friend is this?!"
"Major General Huo, please don't curse. Although Gu Xiu is young and not well-known in the Empire, she has something that our Empire urgently needs and has promised to provide it to us for free. Now that she is in trouble and has asked us for help, we can't just stand by and watch. "Deputy Minister Xu of the Secret Service looked at General Ji." We have to help her. I will immediately send the specific terms of the exchange to the military headquarters for your approval. "
General Ji frowned. "Must you do this?"
"Let me give you a friendly reminder. These foreign mercenaries are all good soldiers who retired from the regular army. The regular army may not even be a match for them, let alone the Secret Service. In short, the Secret Service made a mess of their own, and no one else has the obligation to clean up your mess. " Huo Shaoheng took out a cigarette and lit it with a lighter. He took a puff and fiddled with the lighter in his hand. His expression faded.
"But we have to help her this time, or we won't be able to get the blueprint of the A4 mini nuclear engine!" Deputy Minister Xu finally shouted.
"She really has the blueprint for the A4 miniature nuclear engine?!" Even General Ji was shocked. "Are you sure?"
"We have experts who have seen half of the blueprint and confirmed it." Deputy Minister Xu saw that General Ji had changed sides and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He glanced at Huo Shaoheng with a bitter expression. "… But it's too late now. We don't know if those mercenaries already know about what happened in C City, so they might not take the bait … "
"So you're saying that she will only give us the blueprint if we eliminate these mercenaries?" Speaker Long lowered his head and took notes on his tablet notebook. He looked up at Deputy Minister Xu through his reading glasses. "Can you guarantee it?"
"Deputy Minister Wu and I will guarantee it together." Deputy Minister Xu of the Secret Service patted his chest.
"You guys sign the military agreement. I will handle these mercenaries." Huo Shaoheng knew the Empire's desire for the small nuclear engine.
He would never reject conditions that were beneficial to the country, but he had to set the rules of action.
"How are you going to handle it? Thanks to you, they might not even come. "Deputy Minister Wu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sneered." Now you regret it? It's too late. How can the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Secret Service not have rules? "
"Rules? You're using the lives of your own people as bait, and you still have the cheek to talk about rules? "Huo Shaoheng didn't even look at him. He quickly played with his lighter with one hand.
"Then what do you think we should do? If you're not satisfied with our method, why don't you come up with a better one? "Deputy Minister Wu felt that he had caught Huo Shaoheng in the wrong and wanted to stomp on him again.
Huo Shaoheng smiled faintly. He looked up and tapped his fingers on the table. He blew out a faint white smoke ring. "I said, you guys sign the military agreement and give me all the information you have on the mercenaries. We will take the initiative to attack. We don't have to harm the lives and property of our Empire's people. We will directly annihilate the enemy outside our borders."
"Annihilate the enemy outside our borders? Major General Huo, don't do anything rash. " Deputy Minister Wu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was extremely nervous. "We are a large and orderly nation. If you don't harm the lives and property of our Empire's people, you can harm the lives and property of foreigners?! I don't agree! "
"Deputy Minister Wu, please be careful with your words. You are a diplomat of the Huaxia Empire, not a diplomat of another country. " Huo Shaoheng put away his lighter and extinguished the cigarette in his hand. He threw it into the ashtray. This meant that he wanted to end the conversation.
However, Deputy Minister Wu was furious. He rushed in front of him and waved his fists. "Major General Huo! In your eyes, our country's foreign policy only serves the interests of our country? Our country's soldiers also only care about the lives of their own citizens?! "
"Eh, in your eyes, our country's foreign policy also serves the interests of other countries? Our country's soldiers also sacrifice the lives of their own citizens for the safety of other countries' citizens?! " Huo Shaoheng looked down at the skinny and shriveled Deputy Minister Wu. "I bet you don't even believe that you're not a spy. If you were one of my soldiers, I would have shot you a long time ago. That way, you wouldn't come out and embarrass yourself. "
Deputy Minister Wu was furious. "How can you be so narrow-minded?! The Huaxia Empire is a large nation. We — "
Before he could finish, General Ji had already interrupted him coldly. "Deputy Minister Wu, I didn't think that after a few hundred years, I would once again hear traitorous remarks like 'measuring the Huaxia Empire's material resources to win the favor of the nation.' In the eyes of our soldiers, diplomats like you are nothing more than traitors. "
The words of the highest general of the Imperial Army were even more of a blow to Deputy Minister Wu than Huo Shaoheng's words.
His flushed face suddenly lost all color. His face was pale, and his legs were so weak that he almost knelt down. He stammered, "I … I … I didn't mean it that way."
