Chapter 1112: Capturing Arthur Alive

"Bang dang!"

With a loud bang, the door was kicked open, and a person rushed in, it was Lei Tingxiao, seeing this scene, Lei Tingxiao pounced on it like a cheetah, snatched the pistol with a grappling technique, subdued the other party, and threw it to the guard and shouted: "Tie it up, watch it tight." ”

"Yes." The guards immediately took it, and someone ripped off a curtain from the side, tore it into strips, and tied Arthur tightly.

Lei Tingxiao carefully observed Zhou Qi, took the map off the wall and signaled the guards to put it away, padd the short gun in his hand, sneered, and said, "Get to know me, you are His Excellency Arthur, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, right?" ”

"Exactly," Arthur knew that there was no way to avoid this question, so he simply admitted it, glared angrily, and said coldly, "The soldiers outside are all caused by you, right?" ”

"Of course, what, unconvinced?" Lei Tingxiao laughed.

"War has only results, no process, and it is normal to use any means, there is nothing to disobey, it's just, what will happen to them?" Arthur said calmly.

"Don't worry, you can't die, otherwise what will we do to negotiate with you?" Lei Tingxiao smiled, seeing that Arthur was obviously relieved, and he had more respect in his heart, a commander who loved soldiers was worthy of admiration, so he said to the guard: "Let him go, untie the rope, and let him go by himself." ”

"Thank you." Arthur moved his untied wrist and said, "Are you?" ”

"Chief of the General Staff of the Soma State Lei Tingxiao, fortunately." Lei Tingxiao said.

"I didn't expect it to be you," Arthur of course knew who Lei Tingxiao was, and the details of the officers above the *** level in Soma were all on Arthur's desk, and they were turned over every day, so he could say that he knew everything about it.

"I want to meet your president, don't you know?" Arthur politely pleaded.

"As long as you cooperate, I will relay your request to the president, let's go." Lei Tingxiao said, throwing a closer look at the guard, the guard nodded knowingly, and everyone walked outside.

The outside has been basically controlled by the Soma State, all the prisoners are centrally managed, some medical soldiers are pouring antidote to the prisoners, some soldiers are under martial law around, most of the soldiers are cleaning the battlefield, counting the results, this time down a lot of captures, all the supplies after the coalition landing are here.

At this time, the commanders of the First and Second Naval Corps and the Fourth Army of the Army saw Lei Tingxiao coming, and immediately greeted him, and he was very excited, capturing so many coalition prisoners, and finally having the hole cards to blackmail the coalition forces.

After a salute, Lei Tingxiao immediately said: "The First Army of the Navy stays here to guard the prisoners of war, register and make a register, there can be no accidents, the other two armies carry supplies, move things as quickly as possible, remember to leave some ammunition for the First Army to spare, I will take this person back first." ”

"Yes." The three of them hurriedly agreed.

Lei Tingxiao took the guards and escorted Arthur to the temporary field headquarters, and after signaling the information team to lift the signal blocking, he said, "Should you call your country?" I suppose you don't want to see your men bombing the camp indiscriminately, do you? ”

"Of course, war is cruel, but there is nothing wrong with the soldiers, they should not be blown up by their own people." Arthur agreed understandingly, dialed the number of the president of country A, and said with some annoyance: "Your Excellency President, I am Arthur, and I have bad news to tell you, we are all captured." ”

"What, this joke isn't funny at all." The president of country A said in surprise on the other end of the phone.

Lei Tingxiao took the phone unceremoniously and said: "Yes, I don't think it's funny either, but it's true, this news will soon spread all over the world, and finally there is no need to fight, I hope you can sleep well." ”

"Bastard, who are you?" The president of country A was not lightly angry and scolded rudely.

"Have you not always called yourselves gentlemen? I forgot to remind you that all the calls are now recorded, and this recording will also be published on major portals around the world, congratulations on making headlines once again. Lei Tingxiao sneered sarcastically.

"You?" The president of country A was speechless in anger, and he almost missed it in one breath.

┅┅。

The first rays of the morning sun shine on the land of Soma and bring infinite life to this land, men have gone out to run for life, women are preparing breakfast at home, children are not able to go to school, and the school is notified to temporarily close classes during the war, which is also a helpless decision.

Zao Wou-Ki also hurried to the office, as early as a few hours ago, Zao Wou-Ki received the news of the big victory, and also learned that the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces Arthur wanted to see him, Zao Wou-Ki also wanted to meet this person, after coming to the office, Zao Wou-Ki informed the office to arrange a press conference in two hours, and then processed the official document and waited.

Half an hour later, Lei Tingxiao came, followed by a middle-aged man, in his early fifties, his temples were already gray, he was dressed in a decent military uniform, the stars were shining on his shoulders, and he wore the Medal of Honor on his chest.

Zao Wou-Ki sat at the top of the sofa, motioned for the two to sit down, asked Lin Yu to help pour the water, and asked calmly, "This is His Excellency Arthur, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, right?" ”

Arthur looked at Zao Wou-Ki as soon as he came in, and he couldn't have imagined that this young and talkative person in front of him was the president of Soma, the person who completely defeated him, he had long known that this person was young, but after seeing the real person, the impact was not at all comparable to what was described on paper.

"Yes, it's a good thing." Arthur calmed down and said slowly.

"I heard you want to see me, what's the matter?" Zao Wou-Ki went straight to the point, a lot of things were waiting, and he didn't have time to be with a captive mushroom for too long.

It's just that this way of talking is completely out of Arthur's expectations, with Arthur's habit of thinking, at least we have to be polite to each other, talk about some gossip and then talk about the topic euphemistically, right? Where have you ever seen someone who talks about the subject in less than two sentences? Arthur was a little dazed.

"What do you think when our president asks you?" Lei Tingxiao reminded beside him.

Suddenly, Arthur somewhat understood why he lost to the person in front of him, he did things simply, went straight to the core, did not procrastinate, did not drag the mud and water, unlike himself, he had too many worries and too many thoughts, but he restrained his own play, and when he thought about it, he was not unjust at all.

After thinking about this, Arthur relaxed, smiled indifferently, and said: "The general of the defeated army, where do you dare to put forward any ideas, but there is just a request, I don't know if the president can agree." ”

"Speak up and listen." Lei Tingxiao urged.

"The two countries are at war, the soldiers are not guilty, and I ask the president to treat them well." Arthur said earnestly.

"It depends on how your people deal with the rest of the matter, if you continue to send troops over, I can tell you clearly, they will all become shields, otherwise you can negotiate." Zao Wou-Ki said unceremoniously.

Arthur's shortcomings lie in his lack of political awareness, and he only starts from a purely military perspective when he considers the problem, and when he hears Zao Wou-ki's words, he also knows in his heart that what needs to be solved after the war is a political problem, and if the political problem is not solved well, everyone will not end well, and the question is whether the political problem is easy to solve? Arthur is full of disappointment about the future.

"If nothing happens, let's do it first, as long as you cooperate with us, I promise to treat you well, otherwise, I dare not guarantee the safety of your life." Zao Wou-Ki issued an eviction order, he didn't take the other party seriously at all, he was just a defeated general, even if he pleaded for his subordinates? It is impossible for Zao Wou-Ki to treat prisoners of war well because of a defeated general, and if he does, who will treat Soma and himself well?

War is not about inviting guests to dinner, and being kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself.

Arthur wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't speak, sighed, and was taken away by two members of the Reaper Army, and Zao Wou-Ki received: "Let's put it under house arrest first, and no one is allowed to mess around." ”

After Arthur was taken away, Zao Wou-Ki asked about last night's situation, and Lei Tingxiao hurriedly reported last night's situation in detail, and finally talked about his own arrangements.

After learning about the battle situation, Zao Wou-Ki smiled in surprise, and won more than 10,000 people of the coalition army without bloodshed, and also captured countless arms and materials, this deal is too cost-effective, and said with a smile: "Great, in this way, we will have the bargaining chips to negotiate with the coalition forces, this time let's learn a little better, if they dare to fight, they will directly take the prisoners and say yes, it will be even more like blackmailing country A, don't think too much about other methods, all the coalition prisoners add up to 156,000, right?" I don't believe they're not in a hurry. ”

"The paratroopers who attacked the Dashan base plus more than 3,000 prisoners of the vanguard and more than 10,000 this time, it should be a little more than 20,000, and the details are still being counted." Lei Tingxiao reminded.

"Yes, I forgot about the paratroopers." Zao Wou-Ki smiled: "How to negotiate next?" ”

"Last night I already asked the information brigade to spread the news that the entire coalition army was captured, I think the whole world will know the news, the coalition forces are jealous, and it is unlikely that they will continue to fight, as for how to talk about it, you have to make your own decision, I can only provide some suggestions." Lei Tingxiao replied.

"Say, do we still need to be polite?" Zao Wou-Ki asked.

"First, admit your mistakes and apologize publicly; second, compensation for war losses; Third, all prisoners of war should be held for more than 10 years to ensure that the coalition forces will not launch an invasion again; Fourth, the living expenses of the prisoners of war are provided by the defeated countries, and we do not support the invalids, unless they promise to be paid for their work; Fifth, the development of Soma must not be interfered with, influenced, restricted or threatened in any form; Sixth, the recognition of Soma as a sovereign State. Lei Tingxiao proposed.

"These six articles are very comprehensive, and you will immediately arrange for someone to count the war losses," Zao Wou-Ki said with a smile.

"Yes, why should we focus on economic construction in the future?" Lei Tingxiao asked, Soma has been fighting for so long, and the economy is in shambles, and it is all maintained by the money that Zao Wou-Ki gets, and it will definitely not work if it continues like this.

"This depends on the results of the negotiations, and then we will say, if the coalition forces promise compensation, we will naturally focus on economic construction, if the coalition forces procrastinate, pull the strings, and the negotiations are indecisive for a long time, then it will have to be decided according to the situation; of course, economic construction is the key point, and it cannot be delayed, and we must pay attention to it, and I need time to think about this issue carefully." Zao Wou-Ki replied.
