Gwadar area, the Second Army Command Post of the People's Liberation Army.
After receiving Xing Yao's self-recommendation, Su Tianyu and others held a meeting overnight and finally decided to let him be responsible for contacting General Palu.
Xing Yao is a smart man with strong ability to get things done, so it is very suitable for him to do this job.
At around eight in the morning, everyone gathered in the conference room and began to discuss the strategic plan for the Guada region and Longcheng. While they were discussing, Zhao Weihu received another call and stood up to chat with him.
When he came back, Su Tianyu asked, "What's the situation?"
"This is the news from Santos." Zhao Weihu put down his phone and explained to everyone: "There is a company of the Mexican government troops. We found an opportunity to meet them at the front line. The other party agreed to meet, but there is a condition..."
Su Tianyu asked again: "What are the conditions?"
Zhao Weihu spread his hands and said, "What they mean is that their people can't come out to negotiate, and our people must go. Maybe they are also afraid that we will play dirty tricks, shoot a video, or make a plan to alienate him and Mod Amon, so that he can't explain himself and end up with no way out."
This was not the first time that Su Tianyu had dealt with such a person, and he had already thought of this possibility: "It seems that it is quite appropriate to let Xing Yao go. This guy currently has a low official rank, and he can be found out easily. When the other party sees him going over, they will not think of kidnapping him. Otherwise, if we send a chief of staff or something like that, there is still a certain risk of being detained."
"Okay, call Xing Yao over." Zhao Weihu ordered.
"I'll go inform him." Fei Pingsheng stood up and picked up the phone on the table next to him.
…
More than ten minutes later, Xing Yao, wearing a neat military uniform, walked into the military tent and saluted everyone present: "Hello, Commander, Hello, Commander!"
"Xiao Xing is here, come, sit down and talk." Zhao Weihu now liked him more and more. He asked him to come and sit down, and then told him about the matter.
After all was said, Su Tianyu took over the topic and specifically reminded Xing Yao: "When you meet Palu, don't bring too many people. At the same time, change into the enemy's military uniforms and simply disguise yourself. When you reach the front battlefield, someone will take you there. The mission is somewhat dangerous. Can you accept it?"
"no problem!"
Xing Yao agreed without hesitation.
Su Tianyu nodded, but added solemnly: "I have no other requirements for you. Remember, don't be greedy for credit, just play the cards in your hand well, that's all."
"yes!"
Xing Yao immediately stood up and responded concisely.
Su Tianyu also stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't provoke him during the negotiation, and pay attention to your own safety."
"clear."
After giving all the instructions, Xing Yao left the tent to make preparations.
After he left, Wang Dingyuan retracted his gaze, sighed and said, "I hope this will go smoothly. The situation in the Gwadar area is a bit tense. The rebels are attacking our defense line like crazy, trying to join up with Mod Amon's troops. We have suffered heavy losses in the battle."
Su Tianyu frowned and responded: "No matter what method you use, you must drag him over today!"
Wang Dingyuan nodded and said, "Of course, we finally have a card in our hands now, we must hold him back at all costs!"
Everyone immediately began to discuss and formulate a combat plan for the Gwadar area.
…
Around noon, Guarda area.
In the front-line area, the Old Mo army and the Western Expedition Corps are continuing to charge towards Mod Amon's troops.
Taking advantage of one of the charges, Xing Yao, wearing the enemy's military uniform, was secretly sent to the enemy's hinterland by a unit of the Lao Mo government army.
When they arrived here, General Palu's troops immediately picked them up, put them into military vehicles, put hoods on them, and sent them to a military camp.
Since General Palu's family was arrested, this incident happened very suddenly and the information was controlled by Xing Yao, so the outside world is still unclear.
In this war, Palu played a very cunning role. He ordered his troops to extend backwards and "assist" Modammon's troops in deploying their defenses, with the intention of reducing the casualties of his own troops.
But the intensity of the war was far beyond his imagination. He was trapped in the mountains for two days, and his troops suffered heavy losses. He could not escape.
…
The military vehicle was shaking, and no one knew how far it had gone. Along the way, Xing Yao was also very honest and didn't say a word.
After more than twenty minutes, the military vehicle squeaked to a stop.
"get off!"
At the urging of an opposing officer, Xing Yao was pulled off the military vehicle and then pushed forward.
"brush!"
The hood was suddenly taken off, and Xing Yao squinted his eyes and found himself in a military tent. Many enemy soldiers surrounded him, confiscated his communication equipment, and then began to inspect him.
The examination was done very carefully, searching up and down, inside and out, and they just short of sticking the detector into the large intestine for examination.
After all this was done, Xing Yao was taken and pushed into a tent at the back.
General Palu was already sitting inside, smoking a cigar and staring at him deeply.
"Hello, General Palu. I am the representative for this negotiation, Xing Yao."
Xing Yao walked up to him very naturally and greeted him proactively.
Palu nodded and said calmly, "Sit down."
Xing Yao sat down, and the two looked at each other face to face. Palu was about 40 years old, very burly, with a pair of very bright eyes, staring at Xing Yao closely, with an invisible sense of oppression.
After a long silence, Palu smoked a cigar and said in a tone that could not be refused: "If you want to make a deal with me, you must first meet my conditions."
Xing Yao paused for a moment and asked, "What are the conditions?"
Palu exhaled a puff of cigarette and said again: "You must first release some of my family members, including my two sons and two wives. I will give you a list."
Xing Yao looked at him and said, "General Palu, we cannot possibly agree to this condition. To put it bluntly, this deck of cards is our bargaining chip to sit at the negotiation table. How can I hand it over?"
General Palu glanced at him and said condescendingly, "I have investigated your identity. You are just a small battalion commander. With your level of thinking, you cannot feel the pressure of my position. Mod Amon and I are not only allies, but our interests are also closely tied together. I have already rebelled against the government army once. If I betray Mod Amon again, I will be cutting off my own retreat. If one day Santos wants to settle accounts with me, not only my family members, but also me, my entire family, and the entire army will perish. The deal you proposed is an important decision for my survival. Therefore, you must agree to my request and let me see your sincerity."
Xing Yao frowned and said nothing.
General Palu raised his chin and continued, "Yes, you have found my weakness. I love my children and my wives, but as a regional leader and a soldier, I can remarry my wife and have children! They are not the decisive factors that can influence my life. I have inexhaustible wealth here and can start a new family at any time."
Xing Yao considered for a long time and said: "I agree to release some of the family members, but it must not be this amount."
General Palu had no intention of backing down: "You are not qualified to negotiate with me. If you want to make a deal, you must release some people first."
Xing Yao felt that this person was very difficult to deal with. When he was thinking about how to respond and delay him, the door of the tent was suddenly pushed open, interrupting his thoughts.
A black officer stepped in, saluted General Palu, and said hurriedly: "Report! A staff officer from Mod Amon's staff and a regiment commander request an audience. They are already at the door!"
Xing Yao was stunned when he heard this, not knowing what was going on.
General Palu was obviously a little panicked when he heard this. He turned pale and immediately shouted to his men, "Hide them immediately, quickly!"
