Chapter 345: 238

Now with four Russians added to the mix, nobody knew exactly who these Russians were.

Renato and the four Russians got into a vehicle, which had a Russian flag attached to its nose.

This made things interesting, because if everyone in the team displayed their national flags, that meant four of the United Nations members were now present.

"Hey, I just realized, why don’t we all hoist our flags? Look, we’ve already got Shenzhou and Russia. Once we pass through Israel, Andrew will take the lead. It’d be good to let Andrew move up front and fly the American flag. Hmm, then England should fly its flag too. In that case, we’d assembled four of the five United Nations permanent members, with only France missing."

Gao Yuan got excited, as assembling troops from China, Russia, America, and England into one team wasn’t an easy feat.

"Just short of France, too bad. Otherwise, we’d have the complete United Nations Security Council."

Li Yang said disinterestedly, "What are you, a big-country chauvinist? We also have Germans and Libyans in our team. Should we fly their flags too?"

Gao Yuan said enthusiastically, "Why not? If they brought their flags, let’s fly them all. We’re a multinational force; that’s more impressive."

Panxin laughed, "A multinational force, huh? We’re certainly experienced in fighting such forces, but we’ve never actually formed one."

"Yeah, it’s a pity we’re missing France. Otherwise, we could have formed a complete United Nations Security Council force—that would’ve been exhilarating."

Gao Yuan was just saying it in jest, but King Kong remarked, "No need to include France; they’ll just surrender."

Panxin also laughed, "Exactly, why bring France? What use are they? Besides, I think replacing France with Germany isn’t bad; at least we don’t have to worry about someone waving a white flag in the middle of the fight."

Gao Yuan laughed, "Hey, you guys are mocking them daily."

Li Yang retorted indifferently, "So what if it’s mocking? Who disagrees?"

Everyone burst into laughter together, but just then, the armored vehicle suddenly decelerated dramatically.

With the armored vehicle’s sharp braking, an explosion was also heard.

Gao Yuan leaned forward while Xinghe leaned against him, and everyone else immediately grabbed their weapons. King Kong was the first to poke his head out from the machine gun turret.

An explosion meant trouble, so everyone’s first reaction was to prepare for battle. Whether they would end up fighting depended on the specific situation.

Currently, Gao Yuan and his team had reached the Golan Heights. Most of the Golan Heights was occupied by Israel, with the northeastern part controlled by Israel. It was only about sixty kilometers from Damascus to the Golan Heights, so now Gao Yuan and his team were indeed on the Glen Highlands.

Soon, King Kong, operating the machine gun on top of the armored vehicle, shouted, "The Star of David flag—there appears to be an Israeli border post up ahead."

As if to affirm King Kong’s assertion, three explosions sounded immediately after he spoke.

"Thirty-millimeter canon. The rounds are landing ahead of us; they’re firing warning shots."

Having said that, King Kong shouted, "The other side is firing warning shots. If we keep moving forward, they’ll definitely start shooting for real. Let’s go negotiate first."

Li Yang said, "Israel and America have a special relationship. Now it’s time for Andrew to step in."

But at that moment, Renato made his reappearance.

Renato had been with a few Russians, but he got out of the car and, carrying a white flag by himself, walked towards the Israel border guard post some two kilometers away.

"Renato is going by himself?"

Uttering his doubts, Li Yang jumped down from the rear door of the armored vehicle and shouted from afar to Renato, "Hey, what do you think you’re doing? Maybe you should let the Colonel go and talk first."

Renato yelled back, "No need to wait for the Colonel to arrive, I can handle it on my own. Inform Colonel Marshall that they don’t need to stay; now that there’s an Israel post here, we’re already safe."

Continuing to carry the white flag forward, Renato could only proceed on foot at this point because the Israel soldiers were pretty aggressive. After two live-fire warning shots, if he continued in the armored car, he would likely be hit by a shell.

Li Yang returned to the evacuation vehicle and then said with a puzzled face, "How does Renato manage to talk to just anyone? Would Israel really give him this much face?"

Gao Yuan looked outside and then whispered, "Should we follow and see what happens?"

"No need, if he says he’s going by himself, then let him."

Li Yang was still confused and said to the others in the crew compartment, "It can’t be the Ram’s face again, can it? But without the Ram’s face, where does Renato get his confidence from?"

Without an explanation from Renato, no one could guess why, but after Renato walked a few hundred meters, a vehicle drove out from the Israel post, heading straight towards him. The two parties met halfway, and after talking for about fifteen minutes, Renato turned around and walked back, while the people from the Israel border post also returned by car.

Renato was gesturing, and Li Jingang said in surprise, "Renato is signaling us; is he asking us to come over? Just like that, he’s talked it through with them?"

"Don’t move; wait for him to come back and explain."

Gao Yuan spoke up, so no armored vehicle acted rashly. Hence, Renato had to walk back alone because as the convoy’s lead commander was Gao Yuan, Renato had to come to him.

"Why didn’t you come over? I still have to walk a long way."

First, he complained, then Renato climbed aboard Gao Yuan’s armored vehicle. Then, looking indifferent, he said, "Let’s go. We’ll wait for the main force at the outpost and then head out together. We’re safe now."

Gao Yuan immediately asked, "What did you say? How did you manage it?"

Renato shrugged his shoulders and said, "Quite simple, really. I claimed we were a multinational joint force going to fight the aliens, and they agreed to contact their superiors."

"So, did they make the call?"

"Of course, otherwise how could I possibly come back and tell you that we can pass through?"

Gao Yuan felt something wasn’t right.

"That quick? I find it unlikely. Just with a few words from you, without seeing our main force, they believed you just like that based on your word?"

After pondering for a moment, Renato spread his hands and replied, "Of course, they still need to check a bit, but I didn’t lie, so there’s no need to fear a check."

Gao Yuan shook his head repeatedly, "What you’re saying is too simple, overly simple, so simple that I find it hard to believe."

Renato smiled and said, "This matter is really quite straightforward because the Ram has a lot of influence here. I identified myself and used the Ram’s status to vouch for me. The rest is just waiting for Andrew to lead the main force here to verify I didn’t lie. Otherwise, what else is there to do?"
