"Advisor Li, I believe we don't want everyone to go to war. Since both of us have needs, we might as well cooperate." Madeline did not expect that the people in charge of this research project were all hard-core, so she began to settle for the next best thing and started Other plans.
"Cooperation? How do you want to cooperate? What kind of sincerity makes me believe that you want to cooperate?" Seeing that the other party started talking about peace talks, the bearded man followed her words.
At present, we have many hostages in the hands of the other side, including the minister. Even though Big Beard is decisive in killing, it is related to the life and death of his comrades, so he has to be cautious.
"It's very simple. The reason why the superiors sent you here is just to study the aliens who fell here and their things. It just so happens that the purpose of my coming here is the same. The reason why you didn't move these things away is simply because you are afraid of being transported. The damage was caused, so we studied it on the spot," Madeleine seemed to have grasped all the situations here, and continued to speak slowly, "But seeing that you are still so vigilant, I believe there will be no results."
"You seem to know us very well." After listening to the words of the woman opposite, the bearded man couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. While dealing with the reply, he frantically searched for possible leaks in his mind. But after thinking about it, he came here. The people stationed there are all temporarily transferred and have no prior knowledge. After arriving here, they can only communicate with the outside world if authorized by themselves and the minister. And the minister's current situation naturally cannot be him, and there are other possibilities. That's it...
The more the bearded man thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he dared not think further...
"Mr. Staff Officer, we have traveled a long way here and of course we are prepared. What do you think of my proposal?" Madeline had a death order from her superiors and naturally did not want to mess up the situation.
"Give me some time to think about it." Bearded replied.
"As you wish, you have one hour to make a decision, but after one hour, I can't guarantee the safety of your soldiers in my hands." Madeline said a threatening word , hung up the call.
"What the hell!" The bearded man snorted angrily, but then his face seemed to be relieved.
"Captain, do we really want to cooperate with them?" The one who spoke was the guard who had just returned to report.
"The matter has come to this. For the safety of the minister and the accompanying soldiers, we can only stabilize them first. As for cooperation," the bearded man looked at the ice pile aside and said after a long while, "Biochemists from each country will come to take samples. The research has yielded no results for such a long time, and it was only today that the two Taoist priests made some new discoveries. They want to get involved, which might not be a bad thing for the research."
"Then what if there is a breakthrough in the end? Should we let them take away the results?" The soldiers on the side were filled with indignation.
"If we fail to possess this achievement in the end, I will let these things, along with these mercenaries, be buried in this snow pit with me." The bearded eyes became extremely sharp and decisive at this moment.
"Captain, if they agree to study together, will the minister and the others be released?" Tianxin couldn't help but ask, thinking of the minister who was still in the other party's hands.
"I'm afraid not." Xuan Yi answered Tian Xin's question before Big Beard answered, and then said, "Our hostages and the kidnapped corpses are chips in the opponent's hands. If they cooperate, they will naturally send the corpses back. Do research, so they will never let the minister come back again, otherwise they will lose the biggest bargaining chip in their hands."
"Priest Xuan Yiyi is right. The other party will never let the minister back easily. This may be the bargaining chip they use to blackmail us in the end." Seeing Xuan Yi's thorough analysis of the situation, the bearded man secretly admired him. "Then what is Taoist Master Xuan Xiao's opinion on the cooperation mentioned by the other party."
"Well, the other party is obviously determined to get what we have. This is a good thing for us. We can make good use of this." Xuan Yi's own thoughts on how to cooperate with the other party without being controlled by others. Show it to the bearded man.
"Okay!! Master Xuan Yi really opened my eyes. He has such a strategy at a young age. He is worthy of being a young talent. His future will be limitless!!" The bearded man couldn't help but marveled after hearing Xuan Yi's plan. , even if he was given one day, he might not be able to plan to this extent. Then he found a few messengers and asked the team leaders of the entire Xuekeng base to come to the bearded rest area to discuss matters, and then asked all the lights to be turned on. The system was restored, and the entire snow pit returned to its previous brightness.
Big Beard's temporary combat conference room was located in his bedroom. In the small space, Big Beard had to sit cross-legged on the bed, while the three team captains in charge stood beside the bed in upright military postures. .
"Conditions are limited, let's make do." The bearded man said with a serious face, "Everyone should know the current situation in the base. What I am going to tell you next is not a sand table deduction or a routine exercise. It is a matter of fact. It is a matter of life and death for each of our soldiers."
Afterwards, Big Beard said that he would cooperate with the mercenaries currently surrounded outside, and then explained their missions to the three of them from their respective aspects. The person in charge of personnel management selected a group of elite soldiers with strong personal combat capabilities, and went to the outside of the snow pit through the previously dug snow tunnel. Two people were responsible for handling the pass. This would become a trump card after the partnership was broken. Those responsible for dietary life need to send people secretly through secret passages every day to deliver rations to the soldiers on the periphery. Colleagues must also be wary of these foreign mercenaries adding ingredients to their own people's food, while those responsible for the trivial daily life need to quietly Hide some reserved batteries and fuel first, forcing the mercenaries to use them to support research. Then it will not be so easy for them to leave...
After the explanation, the bearded man dismissed the three team captains, and then took out the walkie-talkie.
"I'm Staff Officer Li."
In the snow pit, Tian Xin looked at Xuan Yi with admiration, "I didn't expect it. I thought you were born with great Taoism. I didn't expect you to be so good at this kind of cunning tactics. Even this bearded captain Everyone thinks you are amazing."
"This kind of planning only requires foresight and foresight. It's not a big deal. With Tianxin's talent, he will definitely be able to do it with a little exploration at this time." Xuan Yi felt as calm as water, but quietly put a hat on Tianxin again.
"Xuan Yi, do you think we can escape unscathed this time? From what they said before, the mercenaries outside are all well-prepared and vicious." Tianxin thought of the atmosphere when the minister and the bearded man discussed this topic before. It's quite dignified.
"Are you referring to them?" Xuan Yi pointed to the two prisoners who were tied up on the ground and shivering in the ice and speechless.
At this time, the bearded man hurriedly entered the snow pit and ran straight towards Xuan Yi.
"I have already spoken with the woman who leads them. As the Taoist leader said before, they will not accept the return of the minister, but only accept the exchange of prisoners. Under my threat of using this pile of ice cubes, they agreed to exchange the minister except for the minister. All prisoners except."
"It seems they are very confident..." Xuan Yi murmured.
"Yes, we don't know enough about their details at the moment. Now that we have agreed to cooperate, we will have time to find out their true and false identities." The bearded man said, and began to help people lift the two people who were half-frozen to death on the ground. He walked out and said, "The two little Taoist priests may be the final winner of this game, so please go to the rest area first. I will send someone to protect you."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. In that case, let's exit first." Tianxin and Xuanyi made a hand-over salute, and then followed a soldier to the rest area. Two soldiers behind him were carrying boxes containing magic weapons.
Periphery. Madeleine and the big man Ellison are also planning intensively. Obviously they are not vegetarians.
"No matter what, their leader is in our hands, and at the last moment, they dare not act rashly." Ellison was very confident about the hostages in his hands.
"But what if they secretly rescue the person, or worse, the minister commits suicide and the news reaches their ears?" Madeleine was very angry at the way her people thought about the problem. , emphasized again, "Remember! The purpose of our trip! We are not coming to the border to fight!"
At this time, a person walked to the window of the off-road vehicle and reported the situation to Madeleine, "The minister has made arrangements, and the remaining soldiers have also packed up and given them injections, and let them sleep for a month after they return. "
"The first batch of actual combat targets for this latest medicine in Europe are already there," Madeleine smiled evilly, then seemed to think of something, and immediately ordered, "Select two more from those soldiers. Being held separately from their minister, we can’t exhaust all the cards in our hand.”
After that, Madeleine's advance convoy, consisting of a road driver, an escort vehicle, Madeleine's off-road vehicle, a vehicle escorting captured soldiers, and their accompanying research expert vehicles, began to follow the road leader and drove slowly. Towards the main entrance of Snow Hollow Base.
Since Big Beard had asked the soldiers to light up all the lights, the lights in the snow pit base were now brightly lit, and it looked like daylight under the reflection of the white snow.
Suddenly, two focused searchlights shone in front of the outgoing vehicle. The huge bright light made the driver of the outgoing vehicle subconsciously step on the brakes. The following vehicles also braked suddenly, but they still inevitably rear-ended each other.
"Damn! What's going on?" Madeline cursed and roared into the intercom.
"Relax, ma'am. You can get out of the car." A bearded voice came from the intercom.
