103: Not an ordinary person
"Oh my god! This is unbelievable! What were they thinking upstairs, sending such a lunatic to command in the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria!"
Harvey, the newly arrived temporary Deputy Captain, was called a "lunatic," and it was said that tragedy always followed wherever he went.
Buck didn't respond, just silently smoked, his trembling hands showing the fear in his heart.
"Hey, Buck, I remember you came with him. What does the higher-ups mean by this? Do you know?" Johnny couldn't help but ask.
After looking around to make sure no one was there, Buck whispered, "Don't tell anyone else, I heard this is related to Utoman!"
"Utoman?" Johnny asked in a low voice, "You're not mistaken, are you? Although it's not far from here, relations between the two sides are tense, how could there be a connection?"
A hint of smugness flashed across Buck's face, "That's something you wouldn't understand. It's said to be because the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria controls an Utoman arms depot!"
"What?" Johnny was so surprised he almost jumped up.
However, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that only this reason could explain why a Deputy Captain from the operations department was sent to such a remote place.
Could this be true?
Johnny couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart.
No wonder they planned to attack the house tonight, so that's it...
"Alas, it seems the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria is about to undergo major changes."
"..."
"I've decided to cooperate with you."
It was Kadeyafu speaking; he had made his decision while they were finishing up.
When the cold storage door opened, Kadeyafu's face no longer held its usual timidity; it was replaced by a rare determination.
"Can you tell me what made you change your mind?" Xu Ning noticed his change and asked curiously.
"The freedom of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria is not only my grandfather's dream but also the wish of all people of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria."
"If you can help us achieve it, even losing faith doesn't matter."
Xu Ning looked at him, his eyes slightly flickering as if examining his inner thoughts, "Hmm, my opinion of you has improved again. Now you are a qualified partner."
"Seriously, we're leaving the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria tonight, which way should we go?"
Kadeyafu already knew the answer to Xu Ning's question and said without hesitation, "Go through the Tuoma border station."
"It's commanded by Jinnichev, one of Hadoff's subordinates. He and I have been friends since we were kids, and I believe I can persuade him to let us through."
"As for Nazran... the commander there is the Vice President's man, I'm not familiar with him."
"Haha, untie our companion." Xu Ning was very satisfied with Kadeyafu's answer, ordered his subordinates to untie him, and began the final preparations.
The relationships among the higher-ups in the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria were indeed much more complex than imagined.
Just then, Sun Bo, who had left earlier, rushed back.
When he saw the untied Kadeyafu, he was stunned, but he quickly regained his composure.
He knew Xu Ning must have his reasons for doing this.
Xu Ning said with a smile, "You two will be long-term partners in the future."
This is the grandson of the President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, Kadeyafu. He has agreed to our preliminary cooperation plan. At this stage, we will provide them with the equipment they need free of charge. He specifically emphasized the words "at this stage."
"This is..." Xu Ning paused slightly before continuing, "the person in charge of Han Tuofu Cold Storage, and also our Rabbit Country contact here. From now on, he will represent me in dealing with you."
Xu Ning did not conceal Sun Bo's identity. The Chechen Republic of Ichkeria is not large, and if Kadeyafu wanted to know, he would naturally understand after a few collaborations. Being frank might even win the other party's trust.
Sun Bo showed the calmness of the general contact person in the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, smiling and shaking hands with Kadeyafu, showing no signs of unease. Ever since the day he swore under the Red Flag, he had been prepared to face anything.
Originally, they hoped to cooperate with the higher-ups in the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, but unfortunately, the high-ranking officials always rejected them with a high-handed attitude, which forced them to turn to the middle level for infiltration, hoping that these intermediate forces could enter the higher levels as they were promoted.
According to the original plan, this would be a long and difficult struggle. However, due to Xu Ning's arrival, everything became effortless.
What unexpected good luck!
Kadeyafu, a native of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, was no stranger to Han Tuofu Cold Storage and said with a smile, "So it's you. The Rabbit Country has a saying, 'Seeing is believing,' which is very fitting here."
Sun Bo nodded in response, and after a brief conversation, he couldn't wait to pull Xu Ning aside. Although he knew it was a bit impolite, the matter was too important, concerning the fate of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.
Xu Ning glanced at Kadeyafu beside him, looking thoughtful. As soon as they were aside, he asked directly, "Has something gone wrong with the President's side?"
Sun Bo was stunned for a moment, then praised, "As expected of the head of Shanhai Industry, Mr. Xu, how did you know?"
"I guessed. Hurry and tell me, what happened?"
Realizing this was no time for flattery, Sun Bo immediately got to the point: "The latest news shows that those from the Intelligence Station plan to attack the house tonight!"
"What!?"
"How much defense force is left at the house?"
"Not much. Previously, Hadoff and his troops were stationed in the capital, and they could quickly provide support if there was any disturbance, so no one dared to act rashly. But a few hours ago, he led his troops to the border area."
Even though he was mentally prepared, Xu Ning still felt a surge of surprise.
Now, he faced two choices:
One was to abandon his newly made partners and escape using the chaos, after all, his main mission was in Utoman, and the military factory was his most urgent target;
The second was to directly confront the Eagle Country's Intelligence Station and protect this new ally.
Although Xu Ning had an impulse to try the latter, he rationally realized that now was not the time. Rabbit Country was currently in a period of low-profile development and did not have the strength to directly confront the Intelligence Station.
Maritime power was still dominated by Eagle Country, and Rabbit Country did not yet have aircraft carriers ready for use. The main mission this time was to solve the aircraft carrier issue, so it was not advisable to get too involved in other disputes.
A hesitant expression appeared on Xu Ning's face.
"Is what you were just discussing related to me?"
"Yes, according to the information we have received, the Intelligence Station plans to attack the house."
Xu Ning decided to tell Kadeyafu all the information and also informed him about Hadoff's departure for the front line.
He could have chosen to conceal the truth, treat Kadeyafu as a dispensable pawn, continue to deceive him, and let him lead everyone across the border to leave the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.
But doing so, he would feel ashamed of the Red Flag that shone brightly in the sun.
Furthermore, a person who could master multiple languages was by no means an ordinary person.
