Chapter 150 Deploying Troops
After Lu Chen and Ike settled in the temporary residence of the headquarters, the Governor's Office soon sent people to the dock to start investigating.
At the same time, in another office in the headquarters, General Batuo was answering the phone.
"What do you want from me?"
"Let me give an order that the soldiers of the special forces company cannot leave the camp tomorrow. I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter. The special forces company is directly under Green. I don't have the authority to give them orders."
Bato said while holding the phone.
"Are you serious? Will you support me in being the person in charge of this base during the next rotation? Fine, I'll do you this favor. I'll give them the order right away."
After the call ended, Batuo immediately picked up the phone and called the special forces company. But he called several times in a row but no one answered, which made him very angry.
"What the hell are these Chinese doing? Why aren't they answering the phone?"
Since the call didn't go through, he called his guards.
"Go to the Special Forces Company and tell their lieutenants to bring the soldiers from the Special Forces Company to the Second Division to participate in the exchange exercise tomorrow."
Hearing Batuo's order, the guard was very confused. He knew that General Batuo didn't like Chinese soldiers very much. This time he actually asked the Chinese soldiers from the special company to come to the Second Division to participate in the exercise. This was too abnormal.
But this was the order from his superior after all, and although he had doubts, he had to obey. He answered "yes" and went out to convey the order.
Zhang Bing and Li Erwa were heading towards the dock, but were stopped by Bato's guards on the way. The guards also conveyed Bato's orders to Zhang Bing.
Zhang Bing and others were very embarrassed after receiving the order. He said to Li Erwa and others:
"What should we do? Should we go to the dock or to the Second Division?"
Li Erwa said, "Of course we're going to the dock. Don't forget, when we went abroad, we promised Commander Lu that we would protect Mr. Lu."
Liu Qiang thought for a moment and said, "If it were just a few of us, I would agree with Li Erwa's proposal, but now it's the entire special forces company. If we disobey the orders of that Batuo, I'm worried that it will implicate the brothers of the entire special forces company."
Li Erwa said, "What are you afraid of? At worst, they can just fire us all. That's perfect. We can take the brothers from the special forces company and go directly to work for Mr. Lu, or we can just bring the brothers back to China and let them serve under Commander Lu."
Zhang Bing said to Li Erwa, "You have forgotten what Captain Qin Jian told us before he left. He told us not to cause trouble and to take good care of the special forces company. I think we should take the brothers of the special forces company to the Second Division."
Li Erwa was anxious. He asked, "What about Mr. Lu's order? Are you going to ignore it?"
Zhang Bing said, "Why are you so anxious? I mean to take the special forces company to the Second Division."
Then he pointed at Wu Jie and Wang Ze and said, "They are not from our special forces company. You two can take them to the dock. Isn't that enough?"
Liu Qiang frowned and said, "But Wu Jie and his men are not from the Philippines. I'm worried that there will be trouble if so many people go to the dock fully armed."
Li Erwa said, "What's there to be afraid of? If there is any trouble, we can just solve it directly. Besides, we have Mr. Lu here. He can also help us solve the problem."
Liu Qiang was still a little worried. He was worried that if Wu Jie and his men suffered heavy losses here, they would be guilty of a great crime. These people were the elite troops of their old boss Lu Jiaming. If all of them died here, how would they explain to Lu Jiaming?
He looked at Zhang Bing and said seriously, "Zhang Bing, I'm not worried about whether we can solve the problem. I'm worried about how we will explain to Brigade Commander Lu if we get into a conflict with someone at the dock and Wu Jie and his men suffer heavy losses."
Zhang Bing thought for a while and said, "You should be assured of this. This is the territory of the Americans. No one should dare to cause trouble here, unless they are not afraid of retaliation from the Americans. The Americans have stationed more than 30,000 troops here. I don't think anyone dares to provoke the Americans."
"Okay then, let's do as you say. You and Li Erwa will take the brothers from the special forces company to the Second Division, and I will take Wu Jie and Wang Ze to the dock to find Mr. Lu."
After discussing the plan, they separated. Zhang Bing and Li Erwa led the special forces company to the Second Division, while Liu Qiang led Wu Jie and others to the designated location.
In the evening, Lu Chen met Liu Qiang at the headquarters. Seeing that only Liu Qiang came, Lu Chen asked in confusion:
"Where are Zhang Bing and Erwa? Why didn't they come?"
Liu Qiang said to Lu Chen: "We received an order from General Bato halfway. Zhang Bing and Li Erwa took the special forces company to the Second Division."
Lu Chen was a little confused. This special forces company was obviously a unit under Green's command. How could Barto give orders directly to the special forces company? He asked, "What kind of orders did Barto give you?"
Liu Qiang said: "He asked us to go to the Second Division for some exchange training."
When Lu Chen heard that it was an exchange training, he was no longer surprised. This order was actually an invitation. It was not an overstepping of authority. But when he learned that the special forces company did not come, Lu Chen was a little unhappy. If the special forces company did not come, what if the group came to block him again tomorrow and wanted to take him away? What should he do?
Lu Chen looked at Liu Qiang and asked, "Did you bring anyone with you this time?"
Liu Qiang said: "I brought people from Wu Jie and Wang Ze's two companies here."
Hearing that two companies of people had arrived, Lu Chen felt more at ease. With so many people, he wanted to see if the group dared to show up. As long as the group showed up, Lu Chen was ready to let Liu Qiang take two companies of people to arrest them all.
Lu Chen said to Liu Qiang, "Take them and find a place to camp. Come with me to the dock tomorrow morning."
After Liu Qiang replied "yes", he left Lu Chen's room and went back to arrange for Wu Jie and the others to set up camp.
After Liu Qiang left, Lu Chen also left his residence and walked towards Green's residence. He wanted to ask Green whether he had found out the details of that group of people after a day had passed.
When Lu Chen arrived at Green's residence, Green was having dinner. When he saw Lu Chen, he immediately asked the kitchen to prepare dinner for Lu Chen as well. Then he asked Lu Chen to find a seat and sit down.
After Lu Chen sat down, he asked Green, "Green, it's been almost a day. Have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?"
Green stopped cutting the steak, looked at Lu Chen and said:
"My people went to the dock and asked many people there. They all said they were the ones who stopped you. But my people got a tip from the ticket seller. They found out which ferry you bought. I guess they will bother you again tomorrow. Wouldn't it be better if I take people to arrest them directly?"
Lu Chen was somewhat delighted that this group of people would come tomorrow. That was great. Lu Chen quickly said to Green:
"No need, I've already called someone over. I'll take care of these people myself tomorrow."
Green said nonchalantly: "Okay, but you have to remember not to make too much noise, otherwise I can't help you."
Lu Chen said: "I know, I will pay attention to it."
After saying that, Lu Chen returned to his residence and began to gather his strength in preparation for a fight with those who wanted to capture him tomorrow.
