Chapter 658: Negotiation
Mexico City today was very clean, very clean. From the streets, to the alleys where the sun doesn't shine. All incredibly clean. However, ordinary citizens are completely unaware of this.
They just felt that all of a sudden the whole city was much safer. Even some petty thefts are gone, and the sirs are all over the streets. Strictly guard against all suspicious persons.
It was in this environment that the veteran took three people into Mexico City in the car provided by the service station. After turning around, I came to a century-old restaurant.
When it comes to Mexican food, the first thing that comes to mind for most people who know a little bit is probably the Mexican chicken wrap. This did originate in Mexico, where it is correctly called "Tacos".
Unlike many types of food, most Mexican cuisine is as close to the common people as possible. The most representative of these is, of course, Tacos. In northern Mexico, it is more suitable for growing wheat. So what they produced was Burritos, which were somewhat similar to Tacos.
But there's more to Mexican food than that. Among this series of dishes, Hou Dasheng's own favorite is barbecue. The top three of Latin American barbecue: Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico.
Despite the fame of the first two, it completely exploded in Mexico. But in fact, Mexican barbecue has its own unique style and characteristics.
The baby lamb cabrito from Monterrey, Nuevo LeΓ³n, is grilled crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with a little salt. It's enough to keep you coming back for days.
QuerΓ©taro's claypot lamb is traditionally roasted over an open flame in a brick pit, fueled by American agave leaves, and the meat has a vegetal aroma.
But Hou Dasheng's favorite is arrachera - beef brisket steak. It is made from the anterior abdomen of the cow, between the 6th to 12th ribs, and the hard fascia is removed. Then cut it and grill it over an open fire.
Compared with European and American steaks, it is characterized by tenderness, smoothness, and more juiciness. Because it is a fascial area, it is actually much smoother than many types of steak. It's a pity that not many people know about this grilled steak.
Hou Dasheng is now in front of him, and there is such a steak. Gently cut and dip in the sauce, stuff it in your mouth and chew. Hou Dasheng leaned back in his chair with satisfaction. The hound behind him, as always, stood silent.
A few tables on the side are security teams led by hounds. The whole restaurant, there was no one else but them. If you look in from the outside of the door, the opaque glass and the curtains behind the glass obscure everything.
On the door of this old store, there is a sign that reads "Interior Decoration, Temporarily Closed". Some admirers, or old local diners, can only sigh and leave when they see this.
The car carrying the veteran slowly stopped at the door of the hotel. The door with the sign was gently opened. The lights in the store are very bright, and Hou Dasheng, who only has a table of people, is very conspicuous.
And Hou Dasheng didn't look up even if the door was open. I just happily cut my own beef brisket steak and put it in my mouth.
Slowly walked in front of Hou Dasheng, and the veteran pulled his somewhat wrinkled military uniform without military rank. Then sat silently in front of Hou Dasheng. Hou Dasheng was still happily cutting the steak.
"Since you are willing to come here to see me, it means that there is a clear answer to this matter. The reply you think I will accept. While cutting the beef brisket steak, Hou Dasheng smiled and said, "Let's have one, the beef brisket steak here is good." You definitely like it. β
The veteran nodded, and then the personnel of the service station went down to prepare. The veteran, on the other hand, looked at Hou Dasheng and said, "Your conditions have basically been met, but there are some differences." β
"Oh?! What's the difference, let's hear it. Hou Dasheng still didn't put down the knife and fork, and smiled and cut the brisket steak and sent it to his mouth. He didn't even raise his head, he still kept his head down before eating.
At this time, a waiter brought a steaming brisket steak to the veteran. The veteran thanked him, then unwrapped the napkin and gently tucked it into his collar: "They won't sit still, you can only take their heads." β
"If you agree, you can propose a location. It is up to us to negotiate and they will come to the designated location. As many of them as there are, you will have as many of them. Both sides must be equal in number. β
Stretching out a finger, the veteran said lightly: "Within a week, if you take their lives." It's their bad luck. A week later, they survived. This is the end of the matter, and you will no longer settle accounts with them. β
It was at this time that Hou Dasheng finally put down the knife and fork. He picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth: "What? You've been discussing it for so long, and you came up with such a plan?! It's kind of a suck......."
"It's a pretty good deal." The veteran cut the steak with a blank face, and said in a deep voice: "There are half of the operatives here, and one-fifth of the trained agents. The rest is all civilian. We don't think that they will survive the blows of jackals. β
saw the veteran put a mouthful of beef brisket into his mouth, and looked up at Hou Dasheng: "They are American people after all, and they can rise to this position." All these years of credit and hard work, they have paid all. What I can't tolerate is that they die before they even have a chance to fight back. β
Hou Dasheng put down the napkin, put his hands together on his abdomen, and quietly waited for the veteran's explanation. He knew that the veteran would explain it to him.
"They are also warriors, and it is understandable to die on the battlefield. Whether it is the company or the building, they will be counted as heroic deaths. On a secret mission. Their families will be appeased enough, and their names will be recorded as heroes. β
After a pause, the veteran put down his knife and fork. He also wiped his mouth with a napkin: "They made a mistake, and this mistake will affect the safety of the United States." So they are responsible for their mistakes. But I can't just watch them die......"
"So, I arranged these for them." Saying that, the veteran looked at Hou Dasheng directly: "This is my bottom line." They are all warriors, and if you want their lives, you take them yourself. If you can't get it, it's because you don't have the ability! β
Hou Dasheng smiled. He smiled strangely, and looked at the veteran while laughing: "I'm afraid there are other requirements, right?!" I don't believe it, that's all you have to ask. β
"I'll lead the team." The veteran looked at Hou Dasheng with an expressionless face: "And your team, you lead the team!" β
Hearing the words of the veteran, Hou Dasheng's face gradually became gloomy: "It seems that you are going to protect these people to the death......
"No, if you kill them. That's their misfortune. The veteran continued expressionlessly, "But as the one who made this decision, I need to be responsible for them. At the very least, I need to fight alongside them. β
Hou Dasheng felt that the veteran was playing tricks on himself. When a veteran enters the battlefield, can he still fight well?! The bullets on the battlefield had no eyes, and they really killed the veterans. That's when it happened. The bastard is dead, but the jackal and Hou Dasheng have to face the next storm.
"There's nothing to talk about. Good bye. Hou Dasheng put away his smile, pulled out a chair and slowly stood up. The veteran's face was so indistinguishable that he was thinking. But obviously, he didn't want Hou Dasheng to leave like this.
However, Hou Dasheng has already stood up. He has already decided that the jackals are now exposed by force to withdraw from the United States first. Next, there is the blow of the storm against those people. Tearing his face, Hou Dasheng didn't care how much money, time and energy was spent to make them all die.
Someone has to pay a terrible price for it before the jackals regain their awe. Hou Dasheng even did not hesitate to use his identity as a capital injector to suppress these things in the United States. They are only revenge, not to challenge the United States.
I believe that few of those parliamentarians will care about the death of those operatives and agents, and how many deaths. They will make the heads of the company and the building, compromise for this. Of course, Hou Dasheng also needs to pay a corresponding price.
Seeing that Hou Dasheng had already stood up, the veteran finally spoke again: "Is there no room for maneuver in this matter?!" β
"You're here in person, do you think there's room for it?!" Hou Dasheng looked at the veterans and said, "You want to protect them, you can." I don't know how many you can keep in the American mainland. It's just a little time, it's just a little bit of money. I'm going to let all these crumbs die as I want. β
The veteran was silent for a while, watching Hou Dasheng turn around and leave. Then he said, "I can not participate, but you have to participate." β
With that, the veteran stood up. walked in front of Hou Dasheng. The hound immediately nervously blocked the veteran, but Hou Dasheng pulled the hound away: "What do you mean?!" β
"Place, you decide. I'm not going. But you have to go. Looking at Hou Dasheng, the veteran said in a low voice: "At least...... They need to die at the hands of worthy people. β
Hou Dasheng was silent, he looked at the veteran without saying a word.
The latter also looked at Hou Dasheng: "This is my bottom line." Equip us to prepare, whether we can survive or not, each depends on our ability. In a week, you can slaughter them. That's their life. If someone dies there, it's the jackal's life. β
"This one is over, come according to the rules. The armed forces of the jackals, which must withdraw from the United States. β
"Good!" Hou Dasheng was silent for a while, then nodded: "The location doesn't have to be too troublesome, it's set in Yemen." I'll give you a week to prepare. In a week, my men and I will start hunting. Life and death have their own destiny. β
After a pause, Hou Dasheng looked at the veteran and said coldly: "If they survive a week, this matter will be over." Of course, a week later they came to find fault and ......"
"I'll take care of it myself." The veteran looked at Hou Dasheng and said in a low voice. The latter nodded, and then did not continue to eat. Instead, they took the hounds with them and left the restaurant like that.
Sitting back in his chair in silence, the veteran lowered his head and began to eat his share of the brisket. He has no habit of wasting food. And the three people who came with him began to eat in silence like him......
