Chapter: 3364

A few minutes later, Sa'id hung up the phone and looked at Leaf, his eyes red as he said, "Master Leaf, I've reported this situation to the high level. The high level is very grateful for your help and promises that if you can help us resolve the soldiers of the Wanyang Hall, we will permanently cease fire with Hamid!"

Leaf nodded slightly, saying calmly, "If so, immediately call the high level and ask them to send reinforcements, sending all available troops here."

"Okay!" Sa'id's excitement didn't subside as he immediately called another phone.

Very quickly, government forces sent over 20,000 soldiers from all directions at high speed.

During this period, Leaf continued to pretend to negotiate with Sa'id and Chen Zhonglie, and previously responsible for receiving Leaf's three-star generals, Xu Yingdong, knocked on the door several times, but Leaf had Chen Zhonglie shoo him away, so none of the other Wanyang Hall people noticed anything.

A few hours later, Xu Yingdong knocked again, looking anxious as he said, "Commander, government forces have sent many soldiers over here. What's going on? Do you know?"

Chen Zhonglie spoke up under Leaf's instructions, saying, "Master Leaf has some doubts about our strength, so we've decided to invite Master Leaf to inspect our troops and the government's troops. Please transmit an order for all Wanyang Hall soldiers to immediately form up at the campsite and prepare for inspection, ensuring absolute safety during the process. All weapons are strictly prohibited from being loaded with ammunition, violators will be confined for a month and have their salary reduced by two months. Do you understand?"

Xu Yingdong thought Chen Zhonglie was trying to show off to Leaf, so he asked him to inspect their troops and the government's troops. This kind of behavior, where someone invites inspection only to show off, can often be seen internationally. It's said to be for inspection, but actually it's a way to intimidate others by showing one's strength, then retreats to reevaluate.

So, this section of displaying strength through inspection is also part of international custom, ensuring that weapons are not loaded with ammunition. Xu Yingdong didn't think much and immediately said, "Alright, commander, I'll notify them right away!"

At this time, Chen Zhonglie's consciousness was already on the verge of collapse.

He naturally knew what Leaf was up to - once he disarmed their 15,000 soldiers, wouldn't they be like lambs being led to slaughter?

But at this moment, he could do nothing except worry and fear in his own mind.

Leaf then turned to Sa'id: "Are you ready?"

Sa'id opened his mouth and said, "Master Leaf, I've already communicated with all commanding officers. In an hour, we'll conduct a comprehensive roundup of the 15,000 Wanyang Hall soldiers, using heavy machine guns and armored cars to block any attempts at resistance - anyone who dares to resist will be slaughtered without mercy!"

When Chen Zhonglie prepared to show off to Hamid's negotiation representative, the entire Wanyang Hall of 15,000 soldiers suddenly sprang into action like they had been struck by lightning, quickly preparing themselves.

Except for a few high-ranking officials at Wanyang Hall who were consumed by the desire to avenge their comrades and make up for past grievances, most of the Wanyang Hall soldiers had no sense of revenge at all.

Everyone was after all mercenary soldiers, gathered from all corners of the world to fight together only for the sake of earning money. Who died or got hurt didn't really affect them.

Their true concerns were all related to themselves, such as how much they would earn, whether it was safe and easy, or hard and difficult.

The rest was none of their business, completely unrelated to them, so high above.

So, they were excited about this muscle show right now not because they cared about any collective sense of honor, but because they had been stuck in this miserable place for a long time, just wanting to get out as soon as possible.

As the other side came for negotiations, they seized the opportunity to show off and impress them in front of their faces. They wanted to scare them so badly that they would surrender obediently.

They heard that the government army was going all out for this inspection, specially mobilizing two or three thousand people from elsewhere. These Wanyang Hall soldiers were thrilled beyond words, with a total of five or six thousand people on both sides, making it difficult not to be impressed by Hamid's negotiation representative.

As for not allowing live ammunition during the inspection, that wasn't unusual at all. In this world, there had never been many instances where live ammunition was used during inspections. The only time the entire army was inspected with live ammunition was in 1941 when the Soviet Union conducted a military parade, with tens of thousands of soldiers participating and then immediately rushing off to the battlefield to defend their country.

Unless there were no real bullets, all inspections had to be ensured to be without them. Otherwise, if someone left a bullet in their gun, when the enemy representative arrived, it could lead to a situation that was truly impossible to recover from.

Therefore, the soldiers at Wanyang Hall began to realize that they needed to remove all ammunition from their firearms and have their superiors order them to conduct a second check on the weapons of lower-ranking officers. JrNovels.com
