Section 260 You can understand it as a transaction
Gu Kegang must have considered this issue a long time ago, and he answered: "There is a tentative fifty people. This is the highest number that my lieutenant colonel can accept."
Sibo heard everything beside him.
He quickly understood Gu Kegang's intention, and couldn't help but shake his head, sneer, and snorted a few cold snorkeling from his nostrils.
"Staff Officer Gu, I advise you to put away those little thoughts. This method is useless. At least it won't work with me."
Sibo approached the microphone in Tian Guangyao's hand and bluntly pointed out Gu Kegang's potential intention: "Do you think that as long as Liu Tianming and others are recruited on the spot and transferred to military positions, I can't threaten them? At the same time, they can also naturally ask for supplements in weapons, ammunition and other materials through your relationship?"
Gu Kegang held the telephone in his hand tightly, with a serious expression and said nothing.
Sibo is right, he is indeed using this idea.
For some reason, Gu Kegang did not want Liu Tianming to fall into trouble due to the lack of supplies and weapons. He felt that he should help these people in the team as much as he could. There was another reason - if it weren't for the appearance of Liu Tianming and others, he would not have lived to this day.
The current situation is very chaotic, and the status of a soldier undoubtedly seems special, and it can also get conveniences that many ordinary people cannot enjoy. If all the people in the team are transferred to military positions, you can directly ask the Northwest Base to provide materials, and there is no need to accept Sibo's exchange conditions that seem extremely harsh to Gu Kegang.
In any case, "ungrateful" does not exist in Gu Kegang's dictionary, nor does it conform to his thinking logic.
"If I'm not mistaken, Gu General Gu, you and Liu Tianming and others have not known each other for a long time. Hehehe, there is no question of understanding."
Sibo's perspective on the problem was completely different from that of Gu Kegang, and he also guessed the real intentions in Liu Tianming's heart. He smiled faintly, pulled the phone closer and emphasized the tone, which sounded like a discussion, but it was obviously threatening.
"From the perspective of the bystander, I would like to give Staff Gu a most reasonable and beneficial suggestion to you! You said something just now: Now is an extraordinary period, and ordinary soldiers can be temporarily recruited anywhere. But the officers are different. I am quite good at General Su Hailong. With Major Tian and Staff Gu's identity, you should be able to get several quotas for officers."
officer?
Gu Kegang's expression suddenly became astonished.
Sibo slightly emphasized the weight in his words: "You should understand what I mean: officers can ask the base for material assistance. Of course, the quantity is not very large, and they must obey management. Gu, you have to understand that this is an extraordinary time. Ordinary refugees dream of getting this opportunity. That means safety is guaranteed, with sufficient food and water. But for you, obviously, you don't care about this kind of preferential treatment. You only have weapons. How do you say... you seem to be born warriors."
Liu Tianming has been silent all the time. He feels speechless when others see through the thoughts in his mind.
Zheng Xiaoyue sat next to her, holding an assault rifle in her right hand, and also said nothing.
Gu Kegang looked at them and understood that Sibo was not making random guesses.
This is indeed the case.
If he just wanted to find a safe shelter, Liu Tianming would not have taken everyone to travel long distances and moved around. Before the virus broke out, he had reserved a considerable amount of supplies in Kunming City, and his renovated residence was also safe. Staying there, you could even take a bath. That once extremely ordinary thing has now become a luxury.
However, Gu Kegang's request is not completely unreasonable.
Thinking of this, Liu Tianming's heart moved, and then took the phone from him and asked seriously: "Can you tell me what power the officers have?"
"Haha! You finally got the point. My answer should satisfy you———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Sibo still speaks with an exaggerated form of speech: "In addition to applying for supplies and weapons, you can also get assistance from nearby combat troops as needed. If you choose to fight outside, you can also ask the base to protect your relatives and families. At present, these are the rights of officers. The new military law is being revised, and corresponding to the current situation, I believe that there will be changes to regulations that are more beneficial to officers. The same is true, now it is very messy. Many people are willing to do anything to get food and water. Never underestimate this sentence. I have not lie or intimidate."
This is indeed the truth.
Although Tian Guangyao is a major, his status and position are far from reaching Sibo's height.
He didn't know as much as Sibo, and his eyes were not as profound as Sibo.
In fact, it is very simple. The whole world is in disaster and chaos, and the state machine has become the last line of defense. The power of soldiers, especially officers, must have been much larger than that of peacetime, or even increased exponentially.
Liu Tianming continued his concern: "So, what are the obligations that must be borne if he becomes an officer?"
"Of course it's obeying orders."
Opposite the invisible telephone call from Liu Tianming, Sibo smiled slightly: "But, your situation is a bit special. I happen to have a little power in my hand to make some targeted modifications... Well! Modifications that are beneficial to you."
Liu Tianming frowned: "Can you say it more specifically?"
"cannot!"
Sibo's answer was surprising, but it was also reasonable: "The right to decide and control is not in my hands, and the first transaction has not been completed between us. Now I can only hand over the ideas and plans to them and make the final decision. Of course, I will try my best to fight for it. It takes luck, and it depends on how you understand this matter and your attitude."
Liu Tianming felt that there was no problem doing this and nodded: "Okay! When can we get the weapons and equipment you promised?"
The sense of superiority and control returned to Sibo. His laughter was more heartwarming than ever: "Haha! It seems that we have reached an agreement on certain issues. Don't worry, I won't get stuck in your neck. I have always been fair in doing things. Weapons and equipment are now shipped, and Major Tian will count the numbers and will never make any mistakes."
After a pause, Sibo continued: "It takes time for the plane to refuel, and it is also dangerous to fly at night. Let's do it, and arrive in tentatively fifteen hours! If your location changes, it's best to make a decision now or notify us again."
“We’ll make the receiving antenna now.”
Liu Tianming strengthened his tone: "Tell me about your requirements for mutant biological samples. While there is still time, try to bring you some of the planes when they come."
"Haha! You are not as difficult to deal with as you imagined. I feel your sincerity now."
Sibo's smile became stronger and stronger: "There have been great changes in mutant organisms recently. I want to know whether the environmental climate and temperature will have an impact on them? So, if you have time, then get some samples of mutant organisms of different ages. You don't have a special collection tool now, just use a simple method to package part of the body fragments with plastic cloth. Remember: be sure to label and get the location. This is very important!"
Liu Tianming's tone was very calm: "No problem. Let's just do it for the time being! We are very busy, and you have something to do. No matter how much you say verbally, it is fake. I will try to get the samples you need as soon as possible. Goodbye."
After saying that, he closed the communication.
Sibo obviously didn't adapt to Liu Tianming's style of doing business.
He didn't expect the other party to end the call so simply. He sat there, holding the microphone in his hand, not knowing what to say for a moment, and his expression was very shocked, as if he had been infected with a petrified magic sculpture.
After a few seconds of silence, Sibo slowly laughed and shook his head at Tian Guangyao: "Major Tian, your friend has a big temper!"
Tian Guangyao remained alert to Sibo and had a little indifferent attitude: "Anyway, you have said it almost. Then, according to the agreed terms, I will arrange weapons and helicopters now."
Seeing him turn around, Sibo suddenly said quietly: "I know you have an objection to me. But someone has to do these things. The key to the problem now is immune agents. As long as they are developed successfully, more people will survive. I am not for fame and fortune, nor for me alone."
Sibo seemed to be explaining his behavior: "Human hearts are greedy, and no matter how many things are, they cannot be satisfied. Major Tian, can you guarantee that after they get enough weapons and equipment, they are willing to obey the rules and provide me with samples of those mutated creatures? To be honest, I don't believe in your friends. I only believe in the laws of nature - only hunger is the driving force that drives biological evolution. The same is true for humans. Things that cannot be obtained are always the best, and the half-hunger and half-full state is the most aggressive. If they want to get more materials, they must work hard for it."
Tian Guangyao stood at the door with his back facing Sibo.
He could not argue about this.
Although Sibo's remarks and ideas are more extreme, there are no mistakes.
Taking a deep breath, Tian Guangyao, with a gloomy face, walked out of the room.
Sibo sat alone, staring at the radio set on the table, falling into deep thought.
