Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 462 Another Bite of Soft Rice

"Morins, contact the commander of the southern defense zone immediately and tell them to withdraw immediately..."

After a brief silence, Song Heping scanned the map several times before making a decision: "Have the remaining people move into the jungle near the Venezuelan border in the Matavini area. Don't forcefully hold the southern defense line any further. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Fight guerrilla warfare in the Matavini jungle. Tell the commander that if you find the situation dire, immediately cross the river into Venezuela. I'll send someone to meet you there..."

"Entering Venezuela?!" Morins exclaimed in surprise, "That would be like giving up the southern defense zone."

Song Heping said, "As long as there are green mountains, there will be no fear of running out of firewood. You didn't ask the troops to withdraw from the south. They will die if they stay there. Sooner or later, the defense zone will be lost. If they cross the river, they will be immortal. Wait until the news spreads and they will come back!"

"But, what if we encounter Venezuelan border troops..."

"There's no border guards! I told you to send someone to pick you up, there won't be any Venezuelan border guards there! Just talk to Ramas, he can arrange it!"

"Oh!"

Molins suddenly realized.

"I had almost forgotten about him."

Song Heping said: "Now we must find every way to survive. Preserving our manpower is the most important thing. That is the foundation for your comeback."

As he was speaking, the satellite phone vibrated.

Song Heping took it out and saw that it was a number from the school.

"Dominic, what's going on?"

"Boss, we've been waiting at the airport for two days. When will we be dispatched?"

Dominic's tone was filled with anxiety.

This time he came here to be responsible for formulating and commanding the bombing plan.

He is an expert in the air force.

"Don't bother me, just keep waiting without my order! I'm busy here, don't call me for no reason!"

Song Heping was so angry that he couldn't help but scold Dominic.

Dominic is just looking for trouble.

I guess he has been staying at school for two days and is eager to show off his skills.

But now is not the time for the Air Force to take action.

It was much quieter over at Jiang Feng's place.

There has been no contact, just regular reporting.

As long as the AUC headquarters did not move on the Mitua side, he would maintain radio silence.

This is a good habit for scouts.

After hanging up the phone with Dominic, Song Heping became a little anxious.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

If the Colombian government forces cancel the operation, everything they have arranged can be put into action.

After walking back and forth in the cave several times, he took out his phone and called Fair.

"Fell, how's the situation over there?"

"Dude, you can't rush this," Fair said. "This kind of thing can't be rushed. It takes time for it to ferment. The DOD's regular press conference is just one day away. If they dare to hold it, many people will dare to ask about this matter. That's when it really ferments. After the press conference, I estimate that in a day or two, the DOD will probably be unable to withstand the pressure."

"FUCK! From what you said, I have to wait three or four days?!"

Song Heping was really anxious this time.

"I don't have that much time! You can collect my body in three or four days."

Feier said, "Song, it's not that I'm not working hard, this is the rule of the game. There's no point in being anxious. You're not the president!"

"I'm the president, and I'm asking you, the editor-in-chief, for help? I'll just order the withdrawal of advisors and halt the joint operation!"

Song Heping was so angry that he hung up the phone.

It seems that we can no longer rely on Fair.

Three or four days.

What the hell is going on?
Even if I don't die in three or four days, Morins will fight me to the death.

I had promised him that I would force the government forces to retreat once I got the evidence.

Now they have taken the risk and got it, but Fair is not doing well.

That would really turn into a falling out.

Song Heping, who is usually calm, is a little uneasy this time.

Spinning in circles again.

After turning around for a while, a light suddenly flashed in my mind.

He remembered what Fair had said before.

"president?"

Song Heping immediately took out his phone and called Ferrari.

"Boss, do you still have time to call me now? The situation over there doesn't seem to be good."

Ferrari seized the opportunity to tease Song Heping.

"Do you want me to have Dominic fly a helicopter from Venezuela to take you away?" "Get lost!"

Song Heping cursed angrily.

Then he asked, "Ferrari, let me ask you a question. In the United States, which department in Congress has influence over the military?"

"This one……"

Ferrari thought about it, then told Song Heping: "Yes, the Senate Armed Services Committee. This agency has supervisory power over the military. It also has the power to review and evaluate the military's military operations, hold hearings, and so on. The military leaders are still a little afraid of it."

"Senate...Armed Services Committee..."

Song Heping muttered a few words to himself.

Ferrari asked, "Why? You still want to stretch your arms that long? Are your arms that long?"

Song Heping kept thinking about Angel's Aunt Nancy...

It seems like he has some influence in Congress.

I wonder if I can look for her?
"So be it."

Song Heping didn't bother to talk to Ferrari and just hung up the phone.

Then he immediately called Angel.

"Hani, do you have something urgent to talk to me about?"

Since the last time, Angel became very intimate, calling her "honey" and "honey" every time he spoke, without any awkwardness at all.

"baby……"

He had to force out this name that made him blush.

"It's urgent." Song Heping said, "It's quite important. Please find a quiet place first, and I'll talk to you."

"Row……"

After a while, Song Heping heard the background noise of the phone quiet down.

Angel said, "Now you can, talk."

Song Heping said, "I'm in Colombia. The situation is a bit critical right now. You know that the US military is involved in this operation. The situation on the ELN side is not good. The southern defense zone has been cut off from its retreat and is likely to be surrounded. I don't think the northern defense zone where I'm located will hold out for much longer..."

"Can't we retreat? If we can't win, just retreat." Angel said with some concern.

Song Heping smiled bitterly and said, "We can't just withdraw in this line of work. That would cost us our reputation. Just like when we protected you, if we felt that the people who wanted to kill you were too powerful, we would abandon you and run away. What would you think then?"

Angel said, "How can I help you? Fair's news has been in the newspapers these past two days, and many TV stations have interviewed him. This matter has become quite a hot topic."

"But I can't wait. I don't think the military will compromise immediately this time. Fair said they're still in the process of negotiating. We'll have to wait until tomorrow's press conference to make another move. It'll take another two or three days for it to take effect."

Song Heping said, "I can't wait that long."

Angel said, "If you call me, it must mean I can help you somewhere. Just tell me and I'll do it."

Song Heping's heart suddenly warmed up.

This girl is really good!
Just ask how you can help.

I can!

So I quickly said, "Does Aunt Nancy have a lot of friends in Congress? Are they interested in this? If so, I can provide her with more information."

"You want me to ask Aunt Nancy for help?"

"Yes, it's a bit abrupt."

Song Heping felt embarrassed.

Angel said, "I want to test her opinion on this. How do you intend to put pressure on the military?"

"The Military Commission," Song Heping said. "What would happen if they held a hearing to question this matter?"

Angel said, "That's a good idea. After all, the military is colluding with drug cartels like the AUC to attack an armed group that isn't involved in drug trafficking, under the pretext of jointly combating drug crimes. Not only is this interfering in internal affairs, but there's also the issue of falsely using military funds."

"That's right! That's exactly what I mean." Song Heping said, "As long as we can put pressure on the military!"

"Honey, but this won't work." Angel said, "The hearing isn't that simple. The process is very complicated. According to the procedure, it will probably take at least a month to arrange a time... Then..."

a month...

This time span directly silenced Song Heping.

After a month, your grave will be covered with grass, right?

"Hani, are you still there?"

Song Heping groaned for a long time, and Angel asked hurriedly.

"Oh, I'm here... I'm just a little lost. It's been a month. It seems like God has really doomed me."

Angell said, "That's not necessarily true. Hearings would take longer, but once word gets out that a hearing on this military action is going to be held, the news will reach the DOD within an hour. In the United States, nothing spreads faster than insider information."

"Blowing the wind?" Song Heping asked, "Are you trying to scare them?"

"You could say that," Angel said. "This is also a tactic used in the power circles. Politicians often use all kinds of true and false news as bargaining chips."

Song Heping was overjoyed: "Then could you please ask Aunt Nancy to give you some advice?"

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
