That night, in the temporary foreign affairs hotel behind the administrative building of Bana City.
After the banquet, the delegation did not go anywhere and all returned to their residences.
At this time, in the luxury suite, Jin Maohui sat on the sofa, frowning, smoking one cigarette after another. The whole room was filled with the unpleasant smell of cigarettes.
The TV in front of him was playing a local TV series in a language that Jin Maohui could not understand.
Fei Pingsheng had a serious look on his face as he sat in front of the window, looking at the beautiful Panama Canal outside and drinking his coffee with a heavy heart.
The drunken and silly look at the banquet had long disappeared.
After a long time, Jin Maohui couldn't hold it in any longer, and turned off the TV with a snap. He turned his head to look at Fei Pingsheng's melancholy profile and asked, "Brother, can you stop observing the celestial phenomena that night like Zhuge Liang? Say something!"
Hearing this somewhat dissatisfied voice, Fei Pingsheng turned around and asked, "What did you say?"
Jin Maohui said unhappily: "Dabai! What else could it be!"
Fei Pingsheng took a sip of coffee and said slowly, "Need I say anything, Dabai must be working by now."
Jin Maohui said worriedly, "Can he do it? This guy is back, but he didn't even call us. We have no direction at all! The war is about to start, and I feel uneasy, Lao Fei!"
Fei Pingsheng thought for a moment and said, "It's like a long drought before a good rain. I guess it will be raining tonight. There's no point in being anxious. Let's wait until tomorrow morning."
Jin Maohui sighed helplessly: "I give in. Bruna is really ruthless. She doesn't even let go of seriously ill patients...!"
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.
“Boom boom boom!”
A guard outside the door shouted loudly: "Report, Foreign Minister Bai is here."
The two looked at each other, and Jin Maohui hurriedly said, "Come in!"
"drop-"
The door was opened by the guard and Bai Hongbo walked in wearing casual clothes.
Fei Pingsheng personally stepped forward to greet them and said with deep emotion: "Foreign Minister Bai has really worked hard and made great contributions! He has not forgotten us in his busy schedule! He has worked so hard!"
Bai Hongbo waved his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sat down on the sofa weakly.
Fei Pingsheng poured Dabai a cup of tea and said jokingly, "Come on, Foreign Minister Bai, drink some water and replenish your body."
Jin Maohui was more direct and asked urgently, "Foreign Minister Bai, how did you talk to them? Do you have any explanation?"
Bai Hongbo was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "It lived up to everyone's expectations. With my great efforts, it's stable!"
Jin Maohui was not in a hurry to be happy, and hurriedly asked: "How did it stabilize? Tell us quickly!"
Bai Hongbo leaned back on the sofa, calmed down and said, "Actually, my wife didn't want to discuss any new alliance treaty. After all, in the current situation, it's inappropriate to suddenly bring up such a thing. It's easy to damage the relationship between Bana City, Longcheng and Huaqu, and it feels a bit like adding insult to injury. However, the internal administrative faction and some high-level officials of the Blackwater Corps can't wait any longer. In their view, this is the perfect time to take back the sovereignty of Bana City. Therefore, the negotiation is due to excessive internal pressure, and my wife is helpless."
After hearing these words, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Chief Bruna has this attitude, then there is still hope. Of course, it cannot be denied that Bai Hongbo played a crucial role in this.
The attitude she displayed before and after Bai Hongbo appeared was completely different.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Jin Maohui raised another concern: "Then... what about the Blackwater Army?"
Bai Hongbo took a sip of water, thought for a while and said, "I also asked about this matter. My wife is very determined on this point. She doesn't think Boang will do anything radical. Tomorrow during the day, she will talk to Boang in person. She still hopes that the matter can be resolved peacefully."
Hearing this, the three of them fell silent again.
Bai Hongbo put down the cup and sighed: "But... Boang doesn't give me a good impression."
Fei Pingsheng also shook his head: "It's not just not good, I guess... he has no way out..."
Jin Maohui immediately added: "Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Once something is done, there is no way to back down!"
When this issue was mentioned, everyone's faces looked a little unhappy.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Hongbo said, "Well, let's do what Xiaoyu has arranged first. It's useless to say anything else now. Let's do our best to be prepared."
"OK."
The three of them sat in the room and chatted in low voices.
…
The next day, at 9:30 in the morning, at the Bana City Administrative Hall.
Bruna, wearing beautiful clothes and sitting in the office in high spirits, immediately asked someone to meet Boang.
About half an hour later, Boang controlled the wheelchair and walked into the office alone.
At this time, there were only the brother and sister from the Bernardo family in the room.
Bruna stood up, poured a cup of coffee herself, handed it to Boang, and spoke first: "According to the current progress of the negotiations, we are going very smoothly, and Longcheng is also very cooperative. Therefore, I am considering having representatives of both parties formally sign a new alliance agreement at ten o'clock tomorrow morning to completely end this incident!"
Boang remained calm and nodded in agreement: "No problem, I agree with your idea."
Boang raised his coffee cup and said solemnly: "Congratulations, we finally got back our sovereignty in this struggle!"
Bruna glanced at him and raised her coffee cup as well: "This is certainly worth celebrating, isn't it?"
"when."
The brother and sister clinked their cups together gently and took a sip of their coffee.
After completing this simple ceremony, Boang put down the coffee cup and said, "In this case, I should also finish my work. I will order the Blackwater Corps to send troops to clear the supply lines between us and Sri Lanka and Dragon City. At the same time, the security of the city must also be protected. The three regiments that entered earlier will stay here for now."
Bruna nodded. "I'm glad you said that, brother."
Boang controlled the wheelchair and was about to leave the office. At this moment, Bruna stopped him and said, "Wait a minute."
“Swish!”
Boang, sitting in his wheelchair, turned and looked at her.
The two looked at each other in silence.
Bruna stood in front of the desk and said in a trembling voice: "My dear brother, you know that since the last Bana City incident, we have lost our father, brothers, and family. Only you and I are left in the Bernardo family. After the baptism of war, this family relationship is like a diamond, which is extremely precious to me. I think it is the same for you."
Boang looked at his sister and suddenly grinned: "Of course, you will always be my sister."
After saying that, Boang turned and left the office.
Bruna stood in front of her desk, slowly put down her coffee cup, looked down at the ground, and remained silent for a long time...
…
That night, Boang did not mobilize Gilman's Black Bear Regiment, but only asked them to stay in Bana City.
At the same time, he ordered Copson's Grizzly Regiment to approach the canal first and carried out military control along the way.
…
Hua District, Southern Theater Command, in a military hospital.
Jiangzhou walked hurriedly into an intensive care unit with a happy look on his face...
