Chapter 313: Chapter 306: Just Chatting

The velocity of a mortar shell isn’t that fast, so if you can hear a long, drawn-out whistling sound, you’d better pay attention because the shell will fall near you.

Andrew ran forward at a speed unmatched by his size, then squatted behind a large plastic barrel filled with sand, waiting for the mortar to explode on the roof above. Once it did, he stood up and said to Li Yang, "Come on, we’ll talk here."

Gao Yuan and the others were all in a hangar that could accommodate at least a hundred people, and it was covered with about two meters of sand. For bunker-busting bombs, such a temporary hangar is completely useless, but this was Afghan, and the Afghans didn’t have bunker busters, at most they had artillery shells.

As for mortars, there was no need to worry at all, so Li Yang didn’t have to worry about Gao Yuan in the hangar next door.

"Whatever you want to say, now you can start, but I suggest you make it quick."

Andrew glanced at his watch and then said with a serious face, "I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time, I don’t even want to wait until tomorrow to kill those damn terror supporters."

"Do you want to stay at this military base, or do you want to leave here and go home?"

Andrew didn’t hesitate as he spread his arms wide, making exaggerated gestures to express his intense emotions.

"Everyone wants to go home, every single person, but can we really go back?"

Bringing his spread arms in front of him, Andrew made a money-counting gesture and said, "If I could pay for a plane ticket home, I would buy one immediately and return to my home in Texas, where my wife and my kids are, and I don’t even know if they are still alive right now, but how do I get back?"

Li Yang whispered, "The people from Europa can go back."

Yes, Eurasia is connected, whether it’s the German People or any other European country, their way home from Afghan is long, but they have a way to go, whereas Andrew and his American soldiers have no path. They could only fly or sail home, otherwise, they would have to swim back to the American continent.

Andrew turned his head to look at the hangar wall, then he whispered, "So what then? You mean to send the Europeans home and leave us Americans here? Send about half the people away and let the other half wait to die?"

Li Yang shook his head and said, "You know that’s not what I mean. I’m saying, since you all want to leave, at least you could go to Europa. I think Europa must be better than here, at least."

"Really? Is Europa really that good?"

Andrew whispered, "You told me, the more people there are, the more developed the area, the greater the loss it has suffered. And now you’ve also found that many places have been occupied by alien creatures. So which is better, to stay in this damn place and fight against the Afghans, or to go to Europa and battle zombies or alien monsters?"

Andrew shouldn’t have been told the whole truth.

After thinking it over, Li Yang felt that Gao Yuan should be the one to explain, as his thinking was too meticulous, and he was not good at negotiation, no, more accurately, he was not good at blurring the truth.

"Captain! Captain! Come over here a sec."

Upon hearing Li Yang’s call, Gao Yuan quickly ran over and then immediately said, "Damn, those old men are too awesome, firing once and then changing position. Right now, they are setting up a new mortar position. I just don’t get it, they’ve got the mortars set up, why not fire two or three rounds before pulling out?"

Li Yang whispered, "I’m not going to translate what you just said, because your words exposed your ignorance. Americans have artillery radar, and if anyone fires at them, they can pinpoint the firing position in one second. The time it takes to retaliate depends on the situation. If there happens to be a cannon, plane, or missile aimed at the firing position, they could return fire within three seconds. Even if they are not prepared in advance, the counter-attack will arrive within thirty seconds at the latest. And loading and firing a 60 mm mortar shell takes at least three to five seconds. That is to say, if the Afghans fire one more shell, they could get blown up. So tell me, should they fire a few shots before leaving, or should they withdraw immediately after firing once?"

Gao Yuan said in surprise, "Then I really was ignorant. Do they still have artillery radar now, and can they still use it?"

"Of course, they can use it. They used artillery radar to locate and counter-attack us on the night we arrived. I didn’t ask you here to talk about this. You talk to him,"

"Talk about what?"

Li Yang thought for a moment and said, "They want to leave, but they feel it’s unlikely. I don’t know how to talk to him about it anymore, so I wanted you to come and talk to him. I’ll just translate."

Gao Yuan looked at Andrew and asked, "Do you want to go home?"

"I do, but I can’t."

"Where’s the difficulty?"

Andrew was silent, then he sighed and said, "The moment we leave the base, we’ll be immediately attacked."

Gao Yuan waved his hand dismissively, "Not attacked, but exacting revenge, and Persia blocks your way so you can’t get through. If you go north, you’ll reach Russia, but you still can’t get through."

Andrew spread his hands, and Gao Yuan continued, "But we can make it through. Our relations with Russia are not bad, and we have a good relationship with Persia, especially before the aliens arrived. We’ve provided a lot of assistance to Persia, so if we request harmless passage through Persia, they will definitely agree."

Andrew let out a sigh and said, "Yes, you have always been... friends, I guess."

Gao Yuan looked at Andrew and said, "We can help, making Persia agree to let you pass through."

Li Yang didn’t translate directly. He frowned and said, "You can’t just say anything carelessly. Can we really persuade Persia to let them through?"

Gao Yuan calmly said, "I don’t know, but it doesn’t hurt to make a promise first. I think it should be fine. Besides, I suspect that Persia might not even have a government organization anymore. Who’s going to be in charge by then?"

Unsure, Li Yang still translated the first part of what Gao Yuan said, and upon hearing it, Andrew replied gravely, "If we leave the protection of this base now, we will immediately come under attack from the Afghans."

Without hesitation, Gao Yuan said, "Negotiate. How do you know if you don’t try to negotiate? Now that you know Whitebeard’s location, go and negotiate with them right away."

Andrew slowly shook his head and said, "Impossible!"

Gao Yuan, looking puzzled, said, "Why impossible? Why is that? Oh, it might indeed be impossible for you. If I were the Afghans, I would also seize the chance to kick someone when they’re down. Don’t translate that last bit. Hmm, let us negotiate, help you negotiate. How about that?"

Andrew opened his arms in surprise once again, but after a moment of contemplative side-glancing, he nodded repeatedly and said, "That could work. I think it’s worth a try, at least to start a conversation and understand their thoughts."
