Chapter: 3368
"Okay." Master Ye stood up and said calmly, "You go arrange for a helicopter to send me to the location where we previously met. I'll wait for you there."
When Master Ye returned to the Hamid base by helicopter, he learned that Hamid had already received his return message and was eagerly waiting outside. As soon as he got off the plane, he hurried over and asked, "Old brother! My reconnaissance troops said that unmanned aerial vehicles saw the government army taking captive all the people from Wándróngōng Manor. What's going on here?"
Master Ye smiled slightly and said, "The government army has already turned against Wándróngōng Manor. Now, all their soldiers have been taken captive, and they've agreed to stop fighting with you. From now on, if there are no special circumstances, please maintain a neutral attitude like water flowing around a rock."
Hamid's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked, "Old brother... how could the government army turn against Wándróngōng Manor? This is too sudden..."
Seeing his astonishment, Master Ye explained the situation in detail. Hamid listened with his mouth agape and exclaimed, "Old brother... I thought of countless possibilities after you left, but I never expected this to happen..."
Master Ye laughed. "I didn't expect it either. Originally, I thought I would go there and control Chen Zhōngliè, then coerce him to escort me and Sū Shǒudào away. But he saw the situation at Wándróngōng Manor turn sour and unexpectedly attacked that Saiyìde. That gave me an opportunity to capture them all in one net."
Hamid couldn't help but praise Master Ye with a raised thumb, saying, "Old brother, you're really four pounds of strength lifting a thousand pounds!"
As he spoke, Hamid couldn't resist asking Master Ye, "Old brother, do you mean I should really stop fighting the government army?"
Master Ye nodded firmly and said, "Of course. You shouldn't feel that your defensive forces are strong and your strategic reserves are abundant, but also know that they can be exhausted. Continuing to stubbornly fight against them would have no benefits for you."
Hamid hesitated and said, "Actually, I'm not saying I have to fight them all the way, only that I fear they'll stop fighting now, just a tactic to lull me into complacency. If they suddenly attack again, what shall I do?"
Master Ye spoke seriously, "I'm telling you to stop fighting, but it doesn't mean you're surrendering. Once you stop fighting, you can still expand your military supplies and continue building your defenses. Moreover, after stopping the fight, they will definitely not surround you again, allowing you to resume material transportation and even hire more construction teams to help build your base, making your strength grow stronger. Even if they change their minds one day, you'll have more initiative."
Hamid thought carefully and found Master Ye's words to be quite reasonable.
Regardless of how strong one's strategic reserves may be, being surrounded by the enemy is always the most dangerous and arduous. Since stopping the fight will allow them to withdraw troops, it's equivalent to giving oneself a chance to catch one's breath. One must surely grasp this opportunity to continue improving one's defensive abilities.
Therefore, he excitedly said, "Old brother, I understand now, please be at ease, I'll definitely work hard to build my base even more solid!"
Master Ye slightly nodded and continued, "I believe it won't be long before Saeed will personally come over to sign the ceasefire agreement with you. I've already arranged for him to bring Chen Zhonglie along when he comes. Once you've signed the ceasefire agreement, I'll take Su Shoudao and Chen Zhonglie back to Hua Xia."
Hamid asked hastily, "Old brother, are we leaving so quickly? Won't we stay for two more days?"
Master Ye waved his hand, saying, "No way, I have many things to attend to when I return, especially the Qingming Festival dedicated to honoring ancestors. I need to go back and pay my respects to my parents, so I won't linger here anymore."
As he spoke, Master Ye continued without hesitation, "Moreover, your conditions are too harsh. You don't have anything, not even a tourist attraction. Even if I stay for two days, it would be pointless. I'll just head back first."
Hamid chuckled and said, "Old brother is saying the truth, my place really doesn't have much meaning, and conditions are relatively poor. However, please be at ease, after stopping the fight, I will immediately start a new round of foundation construction. By the time you come again, I'll definitely have dug out some high-end guest rooms within the mountain, and I'll welcome you warmly!"
Hamid's expression seemed to agree on the surface, but in his heart he was secretly grumbling, thinking that this place would be unbearable to come back to later.
...
Three hours later, Hamid's scouts reported that the government troops had started retreating.
Most foot soldiers have already boarded cars and left one by one. The original artillery and armored vehicles also retreated to the capital, leaving only some soldiers to gather tents, activity boards, and other supplies.
At this moment, Hamid's deputy arrived to report, claiming that a helicopter was approaching the base.
Hamid knew for sure that this must be Seyyed coming to discuss a ceasefire agreement, so he instructed his deputy to bring him directly to his command center as soon as they arrived. JrNovels.com
