The three border inspectors were baffled at first.
They had been hanging around the border all year round and were subordinates of the local warlords. Of course, they had some understanding of the forces in the Anut Special District.
Even if they didn't know General Maups, they could recognize the identity of the dozen or so men dressed in highly uniform.
They were General Maups's personal guards …
Only they could luxuriously match a full set of imported brand-name equipment.
It turned out that the goshawk they casually shot down from the sky belonged to General Maups.
"This … This is a misunderstanding, General." Brenda, the leader of the border inspectors, was previously awe-inspiring, but now he was trembling like an antelope under the claws of a lion. His throat twitched up and down as he hurriedly explained: "Previously, this group of foreigners resisted the inspection, so we had to fire a warning shot into the air."
"Who knew …"
"Who knew that the bullets would fly and shoot down your goshawk."
"Big Brother, he's talking nonsense." Qin Feizhuo, the boss of the comic studio, found his backbone at this moment. He and other cartoonists stood behind Ye Qing. After listening to the translation of the hired local guide, Qin Feizhuo's eyes turned red with anger at the border inspector who inverted black and white.
Resisting the inspection?
"Big Brother, they wanted to ask for a deposit of 300 US dollars each as soon as they came up. We naively thought that as long as we checked the luggage and proved that we didn't smuggle diamonds, it would be fine. "
"Who would have thought that this group of people would steal all our valuable items."
"They didn't even let go of the manuscripts that we painstakingly collected."
At this time, a girl hiding behind Ye Qing also poked her head out. Her name was Chen Qiuqiu, and she was a beautiful cartoonist with a small reputation in China.
"Big Brother, it was the guy in the middle who fired the shot." Chen Qiuqiu pointed to the border inspector in the middle, like a chirping magpie, and quickly exposed their lies, "He deliberately aimed at the goshawk."
"After the shot, the interpreter said that he also asked his men to go down and pick up the goshawk, saying that he would roast it for dinner."
The other cartoonists suddenly nodded fiercely.
At the same time, they looked at Ye Qing with eyes full of admiration.
The next moment, General Mopu pulled out a golden dagger inlaid with colorful gems from the bodyguard beside him and placed the dagger on the chest of Brenda, the Border Inspector.
When the three border inspectors saw the dagger, which symbolized power, they immediately went limp.
General Maups glanced at the three people who were shivering like a king standing on the top of a mountain and overlooking the earth. "Now, as the Supreme Governor of the Anute District, I declare that the three of you are guilty of deliberately attacking our important military targets and robbing the property of our distinguished guests. Your crimes are unforgivable and will be sentenced to life imprisonment. "
Just as General Maups announced the punishment for the three of them with his short blade, the dozen or so bodyguards immediately approached them with sharpened swords. Two by two, one by one, they pinned the three border inspectors on the ground.
The three border inspectors were carrying AKs on their backs. Unfortunately, under such circumstances, they didn't even have the courage to cover the handles with their hands.
They were easily disarmed, and then someone went to the trunk to look for ropes.
"Why?" The leading border inspector, Brenda, twisted violently in panic. He howled, "This is the territory of Tagana, you have no right to sentence anyone here."
"I'm not guilty, General Buckler won't allow you to enforce the law on his territory."
The other two border inspectors also kept struggling, wishing they could hit the ground with their heads.
Why?
Didn't they just take a few foreign electronic products?
Wasn't this kind of thing customary at the border checkpoint?
As for the important military target, it probably referred to the goshawk. They could pay for it.
Not far from the border line was the largest diamond mine in the Anute District, where a group of very special mining coolies — all of them had ropes tied to their arms. They were all prisoners sentenced to heavy duty by General Maups.
There was no doubt that once they were taken away by these fierce men, what awaited them would be a tragic end of mining to the end of their lives.
They couldn't accept this no matter what.
"Why?" General Mopu sneered, "Based on the fact that I am the King of the West, based on the value of that goshawk, it is worth a hundred of your lives. Furthermore, you dare to anger my distinguished guest."
Distinguished guest?
The three border inspectors who were pressed to the ground struggled to turn their heads and looked at the group of men and women hiding behind the young man. No matter how they looked, they couldn't see anything distinguished.
"Go and find the guest's things." General Maups waved to the guards next to him, and then three of them immediately rushed to the border inspection station not far away.
After rummaging, the three of them not only found the things of the cartoonists, but also pulled out a staff member in a red shirt from another office, shivering on the ground.
"Who are you?" General Maups glanced at the scum at his feet.
"I … I … I am a clerk here, responsible for recording the information of people and vehicles passing by the border."
"You will be sentenced to five years of imprisonment."
"Ah … Ah." The staff member's expression was dull, "I didn't do anything."
General Maups didn't need to explain the punishment to him. Since the staff member had been hiding inside for more than ten minutes, it meant that General Buckler, who ruled this checkpoint, had received the news.
If it was in the past, he might have given the general some face.
But now, it was useless for the UA president to plead.
…
Just as the cartoonists each found their own things and put them into their backpacks.
On the west side of the wide dirt road, a cloud of yellowish-brown smoke rose.
Ye Qing looked through the holographic glasses and saw the location of the Banshee aircraft that took off from the enriched uranium refining plant behind the Sotu Rainforest.
The bionic goshawk used for reconnaissance was shot down, and Ye Qing simply transferred a modified version of the Banshee aircraft over.
This aircraft could not only re-scan the terrain, but it also had a certain level of defense.
General Maups's guards saw the situation and immediately said a few words to the walkie-talkie. In less than ten seconds, the guards waiting at the foot of the mountain immediately roared and drove over.
Sixteen off-road vehicles, a group of fierce men armed with SIG556 assault rifles and full of magazines at their waists.
The two groups of people arrived almost at the same time.
The cartoonists once again shrank behind Ye Qing as if Ye Qing's back was an indestructible steel wall.
Compared to General Maups's vehicles, General Buckler's fleet was undoubtedly shabby. They were all old trucks, and even his own car was only a Toyota Prado.
General Buckler, who was wearing a camouflage jacket and a black beret, got out of the car and stared at General Maups with anger.
"Maups, you must give me a reasonable explanation today."
He had already received the basic information about this matter from the messenger call from the checkpoint. He felt that General Maups must have taken the wrong medicine. Wasn't it just a subordinate who shot an eagle and took some foreigners' things?
Since this matter was related to General Maups, then wouldn't it be a small matter if he returned the things and compensated for the eagle?
"The explanation is that I declare these three guilty." General Maups didn't care at all about the other side's dozen armed pickup trucks and the miscellaneous soldiers sitting on them.
"Right, since you're here, let's talk about compensation." General Maups pointed at the eagle emitting black smoke and said, "This is a military bionic reconnaissance aircraft. It was shot down by your subordinates. Please compensate according to the price."
"You dare to ask me to compensate you for your things?" General Buckler was so angry that his nose was crooked. You have to look at the owner before beating a dog. In my territory, you declared three of my subordinates guilty in front of me, and you want me to compensate for some drone? Do you think I'm a pile of mud?
Then, General Buckler suddenly realized something. He hurriedly ran forward to check on the goshawk that was emitting black smoke.
The broken metal bones and the extremely sophisticated electronic equipment inside made General Buckler's scalp tingle. He had never heard of any country launching this kind of bionic reconnaissance aircraft.
"General Maups, you … you used this drone to scout my territory. What do you want to do?"
General Maups was about to speak, but Ye Qing walked up.
In the horrified eyes of the cartoonists, Ye Qing stood in front of the dark general who was shorter than him.
"General, you've misunderstood the situation."
Ye Qing looked at him calmly. "This bionic drone is mine. You have to compensate me 6 million USD. As for why I want to scout your territory, it's because I want to set up a small base here. "
"Right, when I came over just now, I noticed that there seemed to be traces of Kimberley Rock on the mountain behind us."
"I'll send a reconnaissance aircraft to scout again later. If it's confirmed that there's Kimberley Rock, then I'll requisition all of this mountain."
Ye Qing said this in English. The general opposite could only understand a few words, but General Maups had translated Ye Qing's meaning again.
"You, you, you …" General Buckler was stunned for a long time before he finally recovered. His black face was like a frozen pig liver, quickly turning from black to purple. "You're a foreigner, who do you think you are?"
General Buckler subconsciously regarded Ye Qing as the leader of this group of men and women.
Because this group of men and women were hiding behind Ye Qing, he also guessed that this group of people might be employees of the Monster Industries on the other side. After all, within a few hundred kilometers, only the Anute Special District had a large number of Hua Xia people.
"You're looking for death!" General Buckler was furious. What's so great about the Monster Industries?
The mountain behind them was the border between the two countries. A mountain, half for each side.
Requisition the mountain?
If it weren't for General Maups and his personal guards, General Buckler would have ordered his men to start a fire and send this foreigner full of nonsense to the sky.
Ye Qing pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
The position of the Banshee's aircraft displayed above was about to overlap with his position.
"I'm sorry, General, my time is limited. In addition, the attitude of you and your men made me have no intention of communicating with you normally. "
"You still have five seconds to consider."
"After five seconds, please tell me your answer."
