Chapter 36 Shaft's Position and Distress
In front of you is the endless sand dunes. In my ears, there is no sound between heaven and earth except the sound of the wind roaring through. Emptiness, desolation, silence... Such depressing words seem to be tailored for the Great Urb Desert, in which human beings are as small as a grain of gravel.
Seroons drove slowly in the desert, just like a few clumsy and stiff beetles trekked hard.
The sky was very gloomy, and Shaft's mood was also very gloomy, staring blankly at the front.
"Head, it's getting late. It's still a long way from the mining area. If you arrive, I'm afraid it's late at night. Stop and camp." A man on the side looked at his face and said cautiously.
Shaft nodded his head, and his face had been so bad since he accepted the mission.
Damn it, this is pure revenge, ** naked knife killing, Shaft cursed viciously in his heart. As an old man at the Monet mine, what are the mining teams that have privately occupied the gem mine for mining? Shaft does not know much about it, but he knows that neither it nor the forces behind it can be afforded by the small Monet mine. But now, he is forced to collect resource compensation and protection fees... What a fucking cold joke.
But can Sharpe refuse to dispatch? As a peacekeeping team of the half-armed forces of the Monet mine, this task is their responsibility, and there is no reason to shirk it, unless they leave the Monet mine and start a new ground. However, Shaft has always been a proud person. Even if he knew that there was little hope of completing this mission, Tiemule would certainly use this as an excuse to remove his position as the captain of the peacekeeping team and punish him, but he did not want to retreat in fear of difficulties, but asked for peace of mind.
The peacekeeping team has a total of 30 members, and most of them participated in this operation with Shaft. Before departure, Shaft had consulted them and clearly informed them of the danger, and only four or five people retreated, which made Shaft feel quite gratified.
The first few cars stopped and formed a semicircle, and the team members jumped down and began to quickly build tents at the back. Shaft squinted at the last car. After thinking about it, he summoned a man and ordered, "Let them put the tent with us, in case of any danger, so that they can take care of it."
The men were not very willing and said dissatisfiedly, "Head, they are obviously here to monitor us. Why do they care about their lives?"
"If you ask you to go, what are you going to talk about?"
was scolded by Shaft in a low voice, and his men muttered.
The tent was quickly tied up, and the campfire also ignited one by one. Shaft first arranged the guards and inspected it again. When he saw the outermost tent, his heart suddenly moved and walked over and looked at it and said, "Yes, the technique is quite professional. Have any of you ever stayed in the federal army?"
Di Changli fixed the last wedge, stood up and smiled faintly, "I have learned a little from people, but I'm not in the federal regular army."
With his body, Shaft found that the young man in front of him was not one or two shorter than himself. His eyes were dark and deep, faintly revealing a frightening light. His posture was straight, strong and powerful, like a steep rock, giving people a strong sense of unshakable pressure.
Shaft's pupils shrank slightly, bursting out a trace of light, and his heart was extremely surprised and shocked. When he set out, Tiemule temporarily sent four or five new exiles, saying that they were supporting some people. After hearing his report, his first thought was that Tiemule specially sent someone to monitor him. He was in a worse mood and had no intention to say anything more. He just waved at will to ask them to keep up, and almost as these people did not exist along the way. I didn't notice that there was such an outstanding person among them.
No wonder that since Di Changli came to the Monet mine, he has been living in a simple way. He appeared with Tiemuler and others once or twice, and he also behaved very low-keyly. Even in the last time he went to Karas City, only Qingsha and DPnico knew the inside story, and it was normal that he did not attract Shaft's attention. But at present, Di Changli deliberately exudes some momentum, and it is difficult for Shaft to pay attention even if he doesn't want to pay attention.
"Captain Shaft, we're going to eat something. Let's go together." Di Changli smiled and sent an invitation, and his attitude was quite friendly.
Shaft was stunned again and nodded, "Okay." After the words, he realized that Di Changli's words seemed to have an irresistible power. He actually had a feeling of subconscious obedience, and he couldn't help but be even more frightening and inexplicable.
The two entered the tent and sat down. The four exiles who followed Di Changli were ordered by Tie Muller before they came. They consciously regarded themselves as followers and did not follow them, but one of them sent food in, and then immediately retreated out.
Di Changli took out a bottle of red fruit wine given by Colonel Harrison and poured a glass of red fruit wine, handed it to Shaft, and smiled, "Although it is a mission to go out, the temperature in the desert at night is very low. As long as you don't get drunk, it doesn't matter much to take a few mouthfuls to keep out the cold."
"Thank you." Shaft took a sip and found that the wine was mellow but not strong, but it was a rare wine that he had not enjoyed since he came to Paradise Star. He couldn't help but be more surprised and turned into more questions. There is no need to say more about the high price of this kind of wine. Even if Tiemuller, the current president of Monet Mine wants to enjoy it, he must consider his affordability, but Di Changli treats himself carelessly. Apart from its generousness, he is obviously the object of Tiemulle's suppression, and Di Changli seems to be not at all. Well, the meaning of this is worth considering. Is it possible that this young man has the ambition to replace Tiemule and wants to attract himself? It seems that you have to be careful. Don't be accidentally used and get involved in it.
Seeing Shaft's surprise, Di Changli smiled and said, "Captain Shaft, don't think too much. I'll treat you to a drink. I'm just thanking you for taking care of our camp just now. I don't mean anything else."
Shaft would not let go of his guard and said, "You're welcome. As the leader of this mission, this is my duty." Seeing that Di Changli seemed to be quite sincere, it was not easy to pull down his face and turn around and leave immediately. In his heart, he made up his mind that no matter how the other party tried to test with words, he just listened and didn't say it. If Di Changli really wanted to threaten and lure him naked, then patted his buttocks and left. I don't forgive him to do anything about himself.
After that, Di Changli never mentioned anything about Monet's mine, but just chatted with Shaft. The more he talked, the more he felt that the young man's knowledge and insight were extremely profound, far beyond his age, which made him a little ashamed. In addition, Di Chang's extraordinary temperament and gentle and amiable attitude, he couldn't help but have admiration and goodwill.
Unconsciously, a bottle of wine has been drunk and the food has been eaten up. It was time for Sharpet to get up and leave, but after talking about this, the atmosphere was quite relaxed and pleasant. It can be said that the two sides talked happily. He not only lost his mind, but also had a stronger impression on Di Changli and couldn't help but be tentative. "You must know my current situation, and you are still so close to me. Aren't you afraid that President Tie will think?"
Di Changli smiled and said, "It seems that you still have a little misunderstanding. Well, let me clarify to you that Chairman Tie and I are just friends, not subordinate, so there is no need to worry about some things."
Shaft showed doubt.
Di Changli smiled and did not explain much and said, "Captain Shaft, I want to ask you a question. It may be a little presumptuous. I hope you don't be surprised."
"Please say it." Shaft thought that the other party was going to take the opportunity to win over, so he couldn't help feeling slightly annoyed and regretted that he took the initiative to bring up this topic.
Sure enough, Di Changli asked, "Captain Shaft, what do you think of Chairman Tie?" What do you think of him?"
Shaft sighed secretly and looked much more indifferent. He said, "I don't have any opinion about Chairman Tie. What does he do to me? That's his business."
After thinking about it, Xiaft looked at Di Changli and said, "Although I appreciate you very much, there is something I must say in front of you. I have no interest in the fights within the Monet mine. I have never participated in these things before, and I will not be in the future. This is my consistent position.
"I can see that you really don't care about this. Otherwise, with your help and support, Jeba would not be so easily replaced by Temule." Di Changli nodded, didn't care about the indifference of refusing people thousands of miles away, and smiled carelessly, "I have another question... Since you are not interested in fighting for power, why don't you just resign as the captain of this peacekeeping team? In this way, you don't have to worry about it. I believe that with your ability, you can still live a good life.
"To tell you the truth, I have also considered this idea." Shaft shook his head and said with a wry smile helplessly, "This is simple and can avoid many troubles. However, most of the people in the peacekeeping team have been my old brothers for many years. What will they do if I shake off my hand? Anyway, I can't leave them alone."
"In the current situation, you are afraid that you can't even protect yourself, how can you take care of your people?" Di Changli stared at him and said headlinely, "With the strength of the peacekeeping team, it is very difficult to complete this task, and I don't need to say that you are very clear about the result of the failure of the mission. Why do you have to risk your life to do this futile thing?"
"What on earth are you trying to say?" Shaft's face was colder and he questioned in a low voice.
