Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 329 General's Reminder

The day after meeting Simon, Peter called and asked Song Heping to go to his office.

This was all within Song Heping's expectations.

Asad is dead.

This is the most critical key.

Peter must be very unhappy now.

But he couldn't blame himself for being unhappy.

Song Heping had already figured out how to deal with Peter. For the military, what they wanted was war.

The Americans will not give up on the Sahel region.

When I met Peter, the situation was just as expected. The other party's face looked not very good.

"General, I was just about to come over to report to you, but I didn't expect you to call me first."

After hearing what Song Heping said, Peter closed the document with a dark face, threw it aside, then stared at Song Heping without speaking immediately.

Song Heping asked: "General, is there any problem?"

After a long moment, Peter sighed softly and said, "Isad is dead."

Song Heping nodded: "I know, I found out as soon as I got back. He was killed by the French. I was still feeling lucky. This guy wanted to ask me to stay for a few more days, but I refused."

"Why?" asked Peter.

"Humph!" Song Heping feigned displeasure. "The next morning after I arrived, he captured dozens of prisoners and called me to an open space in their village. In front of me and my subordinates, he beheaded them one by one and cut off their heads. The two engineers I brought with me vomited on the spot."

Peter was slightly surprised, then nodded thoughtfully: "So that's how it is..."

Song Heping said: "I know what he is thinking. He is just trying to establish his authority over us."

Peter understood the underlying message.

Song Heping not only said that Isad was trying to establish his authority over him, but also over himself, or to put it bluntly, over the Americans.

"I heard that you encountered a lot of trouble in transporting the missiles this time?" Peter finally asked about the details of the transaction.

Song Heping had already weighed in his mind more than a hundred times what he should and should not say.

Now Simon and I have an agreement to keep out of each other's way.

Although I know that this guy is not very sincere and is forced by the situation, but before that, not exposing him is also a way to retain a usable resource for myself.

So, he talked about the transaction process with 70% truth and 30% lies.

"It wasn't smooth sailing. We encountered pirates right after entering the Red Sea. To be safe, I had the Starry Sky secretly unload three containers of missiles at the Yemeni port. I shipped them to Morocco under the name of an overseas company and then sailed overland from Morocco to Mali to complete the transaction. Fortunately, the Starry Sky was surrounded as soon as we docked at the Eritrean port. If I hadn't exchanged the goods in Yemen, I'd probably still be in an Eritrean prison. Honestly, the French intelligence service was pretty impressive. Not only did they intercept me and couldn't find the missiles, they even hired assassins to kill me. Luckily, I managed to escape; even my leader was dead."

The reason why he confessed these experiences was to tell Peter that he was working hard to complete this deal for him.

These situations must not be concealed. With so many things happening, the US military is no pushover. Their intelligence agencies must have some information.

If I were to adulterate the goods here, it would be easy to be exposed, not to mention that there is no need to adulterate the goods at all.

The so-called three-point fake is just concealing the fact that they know it was Simon who did it. They will not disclose these things themselves. As for whether the military can find out by themselves, it depends on the battle between the two intelligence agencies to see who has the better move.

In essence, Song Heping had no intention of getting involved in the feud between the CIA and the military.

Although I am now working for the military, it does not mean that I have to be their dog.

I was just taking advantage of the conflicts between them, instead of treating myself as a member of the military and speaking up for them.

This is a very stupid thing to do.

They are a family behind closed doors. No matter how much trouble they cause, it is the business of the Congressional leaders and the military leaders in the Pentagon. If you take the initiative to interfere, you will definitely end up in a thankless position.

Sure enough, he noticed that after he finished explaining the entire transaction process, Peter's eyes became less sharp and more trusting.

He nodded slightly and said, "This time, it was handled very well. To be honest, we have asked others to transport it twice before, but they were intercepted both times."

When Peter said this, Song Heping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Peter asked, "Simon invited you to dinner last night?"

Song Heping nodded and said, "Yes, he invited me to dinner." Peter smiled and said, "Don't you think it's strange?"

Song Heping also laughed: "Of course it's strange. Before I went to Africa this time, he wanted to kill me. If it weren't for you, I would probably be in Guantanamo Bay. But last night, he invited me to dinner and said he wanted to be friends with me, saying that everything before was a misunderstanding. Haha, I just listened to him."

Peter said coldly, "It's not Langley's turn to meddle in our military affairs. Be careful with that guy. He's a venomous snake. Once he sets his sights on you, he won't let you go so easily."

Song Heping laughed secretly in his heart. Simon didn't want to give up, but he had to do so.

Peter continued, "Isad's death was extremely strange. The missiles had just arrived and were used for the first time when they were attacked by the French. Not a single French plane was shot down. It doesn't seem right at all."

"Something is wrong." Song Heping said, "Fortunately I left early, otherwise I would have died there."

Peter said, "I think there's a mole."

Song Heping said: "If there is a traitor in the Salafi armed group, how could they have known in advance that they had SA-9 missiles?"

Peter nodded thoughtfully, then said, "Okay, I called you here mainly to remind you to have less involvement with those CIA people. They are the best at betraying their own people. If you don't want to die, you'd better be careful."

"Thank you General."

At this point in the conversation I knew I was safe.

Also gained Peter's trust.

If he had dared to talk nonsense on some key issues just now, an old fox like Peter would definitely be able to detect it. By then, he would have lost the trust of the military and would no longer have any more contracts and business.

It has to be said that Song Heping feels that his mentality has undergone tremendous changes in the past six months.

In the past, he only had to consider operations and tactics, but since he started running the "Musician" Defense company on his own, he found that he was no longer just a mercenary leader.

Especially after starting the arms trading business, he had to face some complicated relationships and had to transform himself into a smooth and even cunning businessman.

Song Heping didn't like this feeling in the past.

But now I have to do this.

A year ago, many of the things I did would have been considered violations of my moral principles.

But today, everything seems to have become so natural.

"Song, we are very satisfied with your performance this time. We will let you handle the African business in the future. But there is one thing: there will never be any relationship between us. Do you understand?"

"understand……"

As soon as Song Heping finished speaking, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

He took out his cell phone and took a look. It was Jiang Feng calling.

Jiang Feng knew that he was discussing serious matters in Peter's office at this time, and the call must be about something urgent.

So, he apologized to Peter, “General, I have to take a call.”

"Okay, our conversation ends here. Go and do your thing."

At the end, Peter still reminded: "Remember, be careful of the people over there at the CIA."

"it is good."

Song Heping stood up and said goodbye. After leaving the office, he immediately answered Jiang Feng's call.

"What is it? Don't you know I'm in the General's office discussing something?"

Jiang Feng sounded very anxious on the other end of the phone: "Old squad leader, please come here quickly, we are fighting with the British at the West Camp shooting range!"

"what?!"

Song Heping's brows immediately knitted together.

British?
Fighting?

"I'll be there soon. Don't make the situation worse before I get here!"
