Counting before and after, Chestnut God has been lying in the hospital bed for four days, even if an ordinary person undergoes this type of surgery, he should get out of bed and do some slight activities now, but he has always been stubbornly resistant to the black water before, and Simmons continued to control him in the hospital bed just in case.

Although Chestnut God did not admit his identity today, nor did he say that he would cooperate with Blackwater, he was able to communicate with him and propose to get out of bed, which in Simmons's opinion was a great improvement, indicating that his unremitting brainwashing these days began to bear fruit.

So, hearing Chestnut's request, Simmons agreed without hesitation, asking Ron and another Blackwater member named Brown to remove the straps from his body.

Chestnut felt like all the joints in his body were rusty, and he couldn't bend them on his own strength alone, which he knew was a precursor to muscle atrophy.

Fortunately, Ron and Brown were next to him, helping him move the joints of his limbs, and after getting used to it for a while, he was finally able to get out of bed with their help and walk slowly.

It was not so much walking as he was moving his feet, his legs barely exerting any strength, and he would have fallen to the ground without the help of Ron and Brown.

However, Kurijin still endured the discomfort of his body, and tried to move forward, stopping to catch a few breaths after taking a few steps.

Seeing his appearance, Simmons shook his head and said, "Geng, it will take you at least two weeks to get back to normal, don't be too anxious." Especially if you have a lung injury and can't do strenuous exercise. ”

"No way, I'm an idle person, I'll be crazy if I go on like this, besides, this little exercise is not too intense." Chestnut God said as he walked.

"That's what I said, you hidden dragons usually train a lot, and you really can't stand it if you suddenly don't do anything, if you change to me." Simmons said with a smile.

But Kurijin didn't answer him again, as if he hadn't heard it.

Simmons smiled secretly.

What he said just now was actually a test of Chestnut God.

If he takes over the conversation and chats, it will be equivalent to admitting his identity as a hidden dragon, and this scene will also be recorded by the surveillance in the ward, and Heishui can use this video to settle accounts with the hidden dragon.

On the contrary, if Chestnut God denies that he is a hidden dragon, it means that the brainwashing of these days has not worked at all, and Chestnut God may still have other thoughts in his heart, such as resuming early and waiting for an opportunity to escape.

Chestnut God neither admits nor denies it now, which is also a good thing, which shows that he is still hesitating in his heart, as long as he adds a little more heat, it won't be long before he will turn back.

Simmons stood up and said, "Geng, you recover first, my side is still a little ahead of the curve." ”

"Okay, Mr. Simmons, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Simmons leaves Kurigami's hospital room and returns to his makeshift office in the hospital, opening the door to find James waiting inside.

James beckoned at him and greeted with a smile, "Simmons, you're finally here." ”

Simmons nodded slightly, walked to his place and sat down, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

He now has a very bad impression of James, one could even say that it is extremely bad.

At the beginning of the operation to capture the fourth team of the hidden dragon, this guy was afraid that the operation would fail and he picked himself up, and he didn't even make a phone call when he was in the most difficult time, but now that he knew that a member of the hidden dragon team had been captured, he immediately ran over to express his concern.

Simmons knew that he wasn't concerned about the Blackwaters, but about how much he could get out of Chestnut.

Since it was determined that the Qianlong Four Team forcibly broke through the US-Canada border and fled to Canada, the operation to capture the Qianlong Four Team was equivalent to a failure, but it was not a complete failure, because there was still a chestnut god in Simmons' hands.

Not to mention whether he can get much information from Qianlong from Lishen, just pushing him in front of Qianlong proves that Qianlong has violated the agreement between the two sides, as long as Qianlong doesn't want the conflict between the two sides to intensify again, he must pay a lot of price.

Compensating the Qianlong Fourth Team for the damage done in the United States is the most basic requirement, and there is a deeper division of interests, which is the real benefit, which is enough for Heishui to make up for his mistakes and even have a surplus of wealth.

Obviously, James came here to grab the credit, and Simmons naturally won't give him any good looks.

James didn't seem to see Simmons' coldness, with a kind smile on his face, he said: "Simmons, you've really worked hard these days, now that the war is over, do you let the people from other departments withdraw, and you can rest and rest?" ”

Withdraw troops?

Rest?

Simmons sneered secretly.

He knew what James meant, if the troops of other departments were withdrawn now, it would mean that the war was completely over, then the next things, including negotiations with the hidden dragon, had nothing to do with him, the military governor, and would be operated by James, and the god of chestnuts would also be handed over to him.

Of course, Simmons will not hand over Chestnut God to James, which is equivalent to giving away the greatest credit for this operation.

Although he is only a military commander and is not good at this kind of intrigue, he will not do such stupid things.

Who knows if James will take credit for the damage caused by the Hidden Dragon in the United States to his head? With his character, it is not unusual for him to do such a thing.

Simmons didn't reply immediately, but picked up a cigar, lit it slowly, took a light puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke, and then said lightly: "Thank you for your concern, but it's not time to rest yet, and I don't think the war is over." ”

"Simmons, now that the war is over," James repeated what he had just said, "the Dragons Four have entered Canada. Although many people were sent to track them, we all knew that it was basically impossible to catch them, at least not before they returned to the United States. ”

"Is it really not coming back?" Simmons asked rhetorically.

"What are they coming back for? Save the dragon team member who was captured by us? No kidding, if they really wanted to save him, they wouldn't have fled to Canada. You can go home safely, but you still have to come to die, if the hidden dragon is really so stupid, you won't lose so many people, will you? James laughed, deliberately accentuating his tone in the last sentence.

Simmons' face suddenly fell, and he stared at James coldly and asked, "Are you saying that there was a major mistake in my command?" ”

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that," James waved his hand repeatedly, "I just want to say that the Dragon Four will not come back, and we don't need to waste so much manpower waiting for an impossible result." Your battle is over, the next battle belongs to me, I will have a good talk with General Zheng of the Hidden Dragon, and make up for all our losses. ”

James said no, but brought it up one after another, and Simmons saw through that little bit of caution at a glance, it was nothing more than that if he didn't cooperate, James would buckle the big hat of the unfavorable command to his head.

Not only robbed of credit, but also added guilt, Simmons's gaze became colder and colder: "What if I don't agree? ”

"Now that you're the commander, what can you do if you don't agree with me?" James shrugged his shoulders, as if he could do nothing about him, but the smile in the corner of his eye was not hidden in the slightest.

"You're trying to tell me that if I don't agree, I'm no longer a commander?" Simmons asked with a sneer.

"Simmons, that's not what I said." James denied it, but the look on his face told Simmons that this was what he meant.

Simmons laughed instead, leaned back in his chair, and leisurely smoked his cigar as the old god said, "James, you can go and try it." I've been in Blackwater for thirty-six years, and I've long since reached retirement age, but I don't agree with it. So it's better if you let me retire now, and I'll treat you to a good meal. ”

The corners of James' mouth twitched a few times.

He understood what Simmons meant, warning him to recognize his identity.

In a sense, Blackwater is not much different from the CIA, the FBI, and the Pentagon, and the nominal chiefs are civilian officials appointed by the president, and they change with the change of president.

The president can appoint and dismiss these chief officers as he pleases, even if they are replaced by idiots who don't understand anything, but he does not dare to easily move the military personnel of these departments, because they are the real backbone of the department, and without them, then the department has no meaning to exist.

The chief officer of the flowing water is the most vivid portrayal of these departments.

In particular, if the military personnel of important departments are easily replaced, it will even cause a strong backlash from the department, and the president will not be able to step down because of this.

If it is true that James and Simmons have an irreconcilable contradiction, then it is not Simmons who is most likely to leave, but James, even if Simmons has a major mistake in command this time, the ending is still the same.

"Haha, Simmons, what are you talking about, Blackwater is all dependent on you, and the president is reluctant to retire," James put on a sincere face, "Actually, like you, I think the war is not over yet, but Gina and Foster don't think so, let me come to you to say this." ”

"Then you tell them to let them come to me on their own, or I can go to them and talk to them properly." Simmons said coldly.

"No, no, I'll explain it to them."

James hurriedly refused, these words were all made up by him, if Simmons found it, he would have to show his stuff.

Fortunately, Simmons didn't want to tear his face off, so he didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and said, "So, do you have anything else to do now?" ”

"Well, that Simmons, since the Hidden Dragon Team 4 still has the possibility of coming to the rescue, then should we negotiate with the Hidden Dragon now?" James asked.
