265: Chapter 265 Total War
Meanwhile.
All eyes focused on Lin Heng.
No matter how much was said, only Lin Heng could make the final decision.
But at this moment, when facing Colonel James's question, Lin Heng just chuckled.
"Give it back to you?"
"A joke!"
"We worked hard to take this place; why should we hand it over just because you said a couple of sentences?"
"Just because you are people from Pretty Country?"
Lin Heng's mockery was entirely justified.
The audience in the livestream room immediately felt relieved after hearing this.
"Damn it! That was satisfying!"
"These people from Pretty Country brought this upon themselves!"
"Hahaha... It would be best to kick this guy once! Do they really think we are easy to bully?"
"Look at the expressions on those two faces; the pale face is about to turn black from anger!"
"..."
At this moment, Colonel James was trembling with anger but was helpless.
General Max saw this and cursed inwardly: Useless showpiece!
In critical moments, I still have to step in!
He immediately let out a cold snort.
With a snap, he slapped the table.
"Hmph! My friend from the East, don't you think your argument is a bit excessive?"
"We possess the proper documentation. The former tribal chieftain had already agreed to gift all of this to us, for joint governance..."
"But who would have thought you would be so tyrannical and occupy this place."
"If you don't want war, you had better quickly return this place to us, the original owners. Otherwise..."
Pfft...!
Suddenly!
Just as General Max was speaking passionately, he heard a burst of loud laughter.
He frowned.
His gaze landed on Lin Heng in front of him.
"Friend, what do you mean by that?"
"Could it be that this place wasn't originally ours?"
"This is our contract; take it up and show it to this friend from the East."
General Max questioned.
As he spoke, he did not forget to instruct someone to bring the contract symbolizing ownership of this place to Lin Heng.
The person tasked with the job was naturally Colonel James.
At this moment, he wished he could curse this old man a thousand times in his heart.
Old man...
He makes me do all the dangerous things!
However, he finally braced himself and delivered the item.
But just as the item landed in Lin Heng's hand, he saw the other party merely glance at it briefly before quickly tossing it into the nearby fire pit.
Huh!?
Everyone's eyes widened.
Good heavens...
General Max asked you to look at it; he didn't intend for you to burn it!
How could General Max face this?
Moreover...
Does this count as violating the African Peace Treaty?
At this time, everyone's expressions became quite colorful.
The audience in the livestream room, however, exclaimed him as a role model for our generation, full of admiration.
Only General Max's face looked exceptionally grim.
At this moment, Lin Heng quickly retracted his smile and let out a cold snort.
"Your territory?"
"If you have the guts, send troops to fight for it!"
"With just this contract, I can have General Sam whip up sixty of them for you in one minute! As many as you want!"
"If it were truly yours, have the original chieftain stand up and speak for you. If he says itβs yours, then I will admit it, not only willingly give it back to you, but also gift you two tribes of equal size!"
"..."
"You want territory just by opening your mouths? Is it that easy?"
Lin Heng, naturally, was uncompromising on this matter.
He had his eyes set on the large oil field here; you claim itβs yours just like that?
I could just as easily claim my ancestors sowed seeds here! Perhaps these Black people are descendants of those who sailed across the ocean a long time ago, who knows?
General Max's face turned ashen.
He slowly stood up, his gaze sharp as a falcon's.
"It seems there is nothing left for us to discuss, then?"
"If General Max intends to gift me a large oil field, or mountains of gold and silver... perhaps I would consider it for a moment."
Lin Heng crossed his arms.
His attitude was so tough it was hard to look at directly.
General Sam's heart skipped a beat.
Things are about to go bad!
This guy Lin Heng really has no filter; he dares to say anything!
If this truly triggers an all-out war, he, the hero of South Africa, will become a coward in the next second.
"Uh... Military Advisor, perhaps we should be a little gentler... We don't need to be so absolute with our words..."
"Isn't it just a large oil field? We have a surplus of these things; why don't we just let him have it..."
"No!"
Before General Sam could finish speaking, Lin Heng directly waved his hand and sternly refused.
Why should he give away something he fought to acquire?
He crossed his arms and looked calmly at the ashen-faced General Max.
Then Lin Heng spoke word by word:
"At worst, we fight! General Sam, don't worry. I have another month of vacation coming up. Although I can't help you unify Africa, I can certainly make these people from Pretty Country a little more wary."
My heavens...
Chieftain Sam was going crazy.
I meant for you to seek peace, but you... are you afraid we won't die fast enough?
Even Su Xueer and the others were inwardly alarmed.
Although they recognized the strength of South Africa, that was Pretty Country!
They had modern armies there...
Relying on modified gas canisters...
Honestly, the gap between them was huge!
They probably wouldn't stand a chance even if they used their heads to fight!
They had no idea why Lin Heng could say such things!
He was truly pushing them into a fiery pit.
General Sam was nearly in tears.
He licked his dry lips, then forced a stiff smile onto his face.
He looked at General Max, wearing a fawning smile.
"Well, General Max, Lin Heng was just making a joke... Actually, I..."
"Say no more!"
"We shall settle this on the battlefield three days from now!"
"This will also serve as revenge for our two chieftains from North Africa!"
After speaking, General Max quickly swung his arm, let out a cold snort, and immediately stood up to leave.
Everyone present was stunned.
But they all knew that this outcome was within the realm of possibility.
They all maintained solemn expressions, not daring to say much.
General Max and his entourage left in a flurry, clearly not wanting to stay a moment longer, constantly shoving each other as if ghosts were chasing them!
Clearly...
They were already terrified of Lin Heng's straightforward and unyielding nature.
Fearing that if Lin Heng became displeased at that moment, he might just take them as targets!
"It's over, it's over... Everything is finished..."
General Sam still wanted to try and salvage the situation, but the result was predictable.
He looked utterly miserable.
At this moment, Lin Heng stepped forward and gently patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry, I will make sure they never return!"
