General Maups didn't let the ambassador down.
As early as on the phone, the sentence "Commander Phil wants to enforce military law on us because he doesn't know about this situation" made him realize that things were not good.
Commander Phil wants to enforce military law?
Now in retrospect, it must be the mayor's daughter who caused the trouble.
On the phone, the ambassador mentioned General Ye again. General Maups certainly knew that this was referring to Ye Qing, so he didn't hesitate and quickly called Ye Qing.
It was late at night in Zhongyun.
But at the moment, Ye Qing was not sleepy. After half a year of struggle, he was finally about to welcome the upgrade of the Monster Factory. Of course, Ye Qing wanted to take advantage of the dead of night to imagine in his mind what kind of black technology would appear when it was upgraded to the seventh stage tomorrow.
Entering the seventh stage meant entering the world's manufacturing rankings.
The opponents in front also jumped from Asia to the world, facing the old industrial giants of Europe and the United States.
Boeing, Airbus, Volkswagen, Apple, Toyota, Samsung, Daimler …
Each of these names was a behemoth that the current Monster Industries could not compare to. But with the emergence of new technology, the Monster Factory would only be destroyed like the fifth and sixth stage if it challenged these old industrial companies that had been in charge of the world's manufacturing for hundreds of years.
Then, the Grand Hegemony was interrupted by a ringing phone.
Ye Qing was a little puzzled. General Maups would call so late. This call directly to his private cell phone was unusual. In less than ten seconds after receiving the call, Ye Qing sat up suddenly.
"Don't worry, speak slowly. I'll contact Director Du Shuangyi, who is in charge of African affairs." Ye Qing called the Master Metal Expert who was in charge of security in the office outside.
Now Ye Qing has to prepare four phones, one for office, one for private, one for satellite, and one for emergency. But Ye Qing only brings the private one, and the rest is kept by the Master Metal Expert.
Getting the emergency phone, Ye Qing frowned and dialed another number.
It was Director Du Shuangyi's personal phone. After about ten rings, Director Du Shuangyi asked Ye Qing what was going on. She sounded sleepy and nervous. Director Du Shuangyi also understood that a call in the middle of the night must be something important.
Ye Qing put both phones on speaker. Not long after, he heard Director Du Shuangyi shouting for Secretary Wang.
A few minutes later, the three-way call was quickly completed.
Director Du Shuangyi had already started to get dressed. He had to immediately rush to the office for an emergency meeting.
He had influence in Antiman, which was thousands of miles away, but his influence was only with the government forces.
He really couldn't do anything about this newly emerged Blue Helmet Organization. So he asked General Maups on the phone to contact General Armon immediately. As long as he could save people, it was fine even if he had to bribe them.
After hanging up the phone, General Maups anxiously called General Armon.
His relationship with General Armon was not good, but it was not bad either. The two sides were in different countries and there was no territorial conflict. A few years ago, a powerful subordinate of General Armon betrayed him and escaped with a batch of diamonds worth about three million dollars. His subordinate did not dare to go to the airport, but went around to Nigeria and wanted to take this way to Europe. As a result, he was stopped by General Maups. He and General Armon split the diamonds fifty-fifty.
General Armon recovered half of the losses and could execute the betrayer to make an example of him.
Later, General Maups and General Armon met several times at the border. The two sides traded some diamonds and had interests.
So after the call was connected, General Maups bluntly told him the situation and asked General Armon to let him go.
"You mean, Hua Xia also took a mayor's daughter with her?"
"It depends on the situation. Hurry up and call Commander Phil. He shouldn't be impulsive and kill the ambassador. That would be a big problem." General Maups urged anxiously. "My boss is pulling the strings. He is very kind to his friends who help him, but he has a bad temper."
"Isn't it only Hua Xia's employees? Which mayor's daughter?"
"My friend, we are at war now, a war of life and death. You brought a mayor's daughter over there." General Armon said angrily.
"Bringing a woman with you is not like bringing an army with you. Don't be nervous. I'll compensate you later. "
"I'll understand the situation first." General Armon slammed the phone down.
Blue Helmet Camp on the edge of Uriel City.
Commander Phil was looking at the ambassador and Martha with an unfriendly expression. They were held by the arms by the soldiers, and more than 300 other employees had been rushed to the car. The five assault rifles and a large number of bullets that were promised to them were also confiscated.
Dozens of minutes had passed since the ambassador's call for help.
Commander Phil felt that it was almost time and was going to contact General Armon. By the way, he could also take this opportunity to show his face in front of General Armon.
But when Commander Phil picked up the satellite phone and was nervously thinking about the words to say, General Armon's call came first, which caught Commander Phil a little off guard and surprised him.
"Dong ~ Dong ~ Dong ~ Dong ~"
Seeing this scene, Ambassador Yu Yong's heart beat violently. Life or death, it was likely to depend on this phone call.
With his life at stake, Ambassador Yu Yong couldn't help but look at Commander Phil who was on the phone. He didn't expect this guy to be even more nervous than him. When he was reporting on the phone, he frequently stood at attention. Two minutes later, Commander Phil moved his gaze back and forth between the ambassador and Martha with an inexplicable look.
Ambassador Yu Yong couldn't hear what they were saying, but he felt that something was going to happen …
Because this phone call was a little too long. Commander Phil went from his initial nervous state to now using a very low voice, even deliberately avoiding the people around him, to keep talking to General Armon.
…
General Maups was also anxiously waiting. No matter what, he had to get this done.
If it really didn't work, even if he had to give out 10 million USD, he had to get it done.
After a long time, maybe half an hour, General Maups finally received a call from General Armon.
"I'm sorry, my friend." General Armon's voice seemed to become a little strange, "I can't agree to your request. I've learned that the girl named Martha is the daughter of the mayor of Urrell City. "
"Urrell City is in the middle of our country, guarding three major roads. This city is a key city that we must take down. Now that the mayor's daughter is in our hands, it's more of a threat than ten tanks. "
"You …" General Maups suppressed his anger, "My friend, we've all experienced the cruelty of war. If it were you, would you be willing to sacrifice a city for a woman? "
"So, if you capture the mayor's daughter, it will only make the government army angrier, and you won't get any help."
"How do you know without trying?" General Armon said coldly.
"Good, good, good!"
"Then Martha, you stay and release the Hua Xia employees and the ambassador." General Maups gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you one million USD. Tomorrow morning, my people will meet these employees at the border. You send someone to pick up the one million USD."
General Maups thought he would bargain, but he didn't expect the phone to be silent for dozens of seconds, and then ask him an irrelevant question.
"The boss you've been talking to me about on the phone is Mr. Ye from Monster Industries. Is he very rich?"
"Of course, in order to open a mine here, he drove several 100,000-ton ships and built two airports, making us busier than the airport in the capital. Planes fly back and forth all day." General Maups snorted, "And you have to understand, these ships and planes are not rented."
"Release the Hua Xia employees, and my boss will treat you as a friend."
"If you release Martha, I can introduce you to my boss."
"What kind of mine is worth him taking out such a formation?" General Armon was in a daze. "Is it a diamond mine?"
"What kind of diamond mine is this? Can my boss take a fancy to this thing?" General Maups felt that there was hope and quickly added, "It's a few very rare metal mines. I don't know the specific names, and I can't tell you. I can only tell you that since I followed the boss, the economic level of our Anut region has doubled in three months. "
"Power stations, hospitals, water supply companies, communication base stations, these were all given by the boss for free."
On the one hand, it was to show off, and on the other hand, it was to let General Armon understand what kind of person was standing behind this matter. Whether it was Maups or him, who controlled many military powers in the Blue Helmet forces, they were all just ants.
General Maups had never heard of the phrase "a wise man submits to circumstances". But that didn't stop him from telling General Armon the general meaning.
"So, please release those Hua Xia employees, and make sure that none of them are left behind."
"You decide for yourself about Martha." General Maups repeated the request again, and the reward he had personally prepared.
There was silence again. Just when General Maups mistakenly thought that there was a problem with the signal, General Armon actually smiled.
"I'm sorry, my friend."
"I can't agree to any of your requests. For some reason, I've decided to do something very risky."
"So, please ask your boss to talk to me."
"You … are crazy?" General Maups' heart pounded.
"I'm not crazy, I'm just preparing an extra way out for myself."
…
Five minutes later, General Armon, who was stationed on the edge of Antiman's capital city, received a long-distance call from Hua Xia.
"Hello ~"
"Hello, I'm Ye Qing, the boss General Maups mentioned."
"Tell me, what do you want?"
In the Blue Helmet's base camp, General Armon sat in a specially reinforced rock body, and with a voice that was 30% nervous and 70% crazy, he said in a low voice, "Those Hua Xia workers brought a spy over."
"It's wartime now, I must be dealt with by military law, otherwise I can't convince the public."
"But, soldiers fight for power and money, don't they?"
"One hundred million US dollars, I'll release everyone, including the girl named Martha."
A few seconds later, Ye Qing smiled and asked, "You … are you blackmailing me?"
"Don't you think you should talk to the Foreign Affairs Department about the price?"
"No."
