Negotiations have begun.

Ashraf hugged his Mosin Nagant and sat on the ground leaning against a stone. His face was full of sorrow but he still tried to smile, like an old farmer who worked all day but had no food to eat.

Atik was wearing a white robe, which was still new. He didn't carry a rifle, and his son didn't come either, but there were two more young men in camouflage behind him.

Judging from the bulging clothes of the two young men, it was either a grenade or a bomb underneath. Anyway, they were prepared to break up if they couldn't reach an agreement, that is, everyone would die together.

As for Andrew, he wore a camouflage uniform, but had a military rank, and he was a major general.

Gao Yuan stood in the middle as the intermediary, with Atik on the left, Andrew on the right, and opposite him was Li Yang.

There was only one translator this time, because Li Yang was the only one who could speak English, Pashto, and of course Chinese.

Four people, three languages, the negotiation started.

"You must lay down your arms and surrender!"

Atik went straight to the point in his first sentence, and then Andrew looked at Li Yang.

"You must leave the air base."

Andrew nodded and said to Atik, "No problem."

"no problem."

Atik was a little surprised by Andrew's attitude, then he thought about it and said: "You must put down the military flag, apologize, hand over your weapons, and then leave."

Li Yang looked at Andrew and said, "He wants to exchange guns with you."

Andrew shrugged, then he nodded: "That's no problem, but does he have a swappable gun? What a joke."

Li Yang looked at Atik and said: "He is willing to surrender to you privately here, but he cannot lead everyone to surrender to you. I hope you can understand the current situation. It is impossible to force everyone to hand over their weapons.

So, can we solve the surrender ceremony here? In fact, in the final analysis, we still cooperate."

Atik frowned and said, "Did he say so much?"

"Yes, I explained it in a little detail and made some extensions."

Andrew also said to Li Yang: "What are you talking about? You seem to be talking a lot?"

Li Yang smiled and said: "I gave him an extended explanation."

After finishing speaking, Li Yang said to Atik: "He hopes to get a decent ending, so he is willing to hand over his gun, but please, after receiving his gun, what weapons can you give him in return?

Any gun will do, I think this will be beneficial to everyone."

Atik frowned and said, "There is no need to give weapons in return for surrender. That is not surrender."

Li Yang said sincerely: "Consider the overall situation and take care of the general's majesty. He is willing to surrender privately."

Atik nodded, and then Li Yang smiled and said: "We moved a little too fast, and we didn't even introduce your identities to each other, General Andrew, this is the commander of the Afohan National Salvation Army, Atik.

Tain Masood.”

Andrew was very surprised and said: "Masud? What is your relationship with that Masud?"

Li Yang looked at Atik and said: "I introduced your identity, and this is General Andrew Marshall from Kandahar Air Force Base. He expressed his respect for General Massoud and asked you and

What’s the relationship with General Massoud?”

Atik smiled slightly and said: "We are from the same tribe, and I was his warrior."

Gao Yuan looked at Andrew and said: "He said that he was once a soldier of General Massoud, so to a certain extent you are not enemies."

Andrew nodded repeatedly, pointed at himself, then at Atik, and said: "Yes, yes, we are allies with General Massoud, but it is a pity that he was assassinated."

Li Yang translated Andrew's words truthfully, Atik nodded repeatedly, and even the expression on his face softened a lot, and even smiled.

Li Yang looked at Andrew and said: "General, please take out your sidearm. I think now is a good time to exchange sidearms."

Andrew thought for a while, he put his hand on his waist and pulled out his pistol, but he did not hand it over and said: "Where is this guy's gun? If he wants to exchange, he has to do it at the same time, otherwise it won't work.

"

Li Yang smiled and said: "Just exchange guns and be friendly, general. They are very rigid, but we are very flexible, aren't we? Our purpose is to let these people fight with the other Afokhan people. You always

You need to show your attitude and show your sincerity."

Andrew thought for a while, he took off the magazine, pulled the sleeve, and after ejecting the bullet from the chamber, he turned it over and held the barrel of the gun, handed the handle of the gun to Atik, and then he said loudly: "

I give you my sidearm."

Atik reached out and took the pistol. He was surprised that things went so smoothly, and then he took the magazine handed over by Andrew with his left hand.

After taking the gun and magazine in his hand, Atik thought for a moment, then turned to the two young men and said: "The Americans surrendered, we won..."

The two young people cheered extremely excitedly, feeling joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Andrew felt something was wrong. He looked at Li Yang and said, "Why are they so happy? They are just exchanging guns. What are they doing?"

Li Yang smiled and said: "They are happy that you are willing to exchange guns."

"So where is this old guy's gun? I've already given in. Where's his gun?"

Andrew looked a little dissatisfied. Li Yang looked at Atik and said: "Commander, the general is asking if you can give him a pistol in return."

With a smile on his face, Atik slowly took out a pistol from his arms. It was a Makarov PM pistol. During the Soviet Union era, this pistol was widely distributed to officers.

The pistol had been used for a long time and the signs of use were very obvious. Atik took the gun in his hand and said with emotion: "I captured this gun. We killed a Soviet Union major. I got this pistol.

I've had this gun for over thirty years and it's old, but it still works great."

Li Yang translated Atik's words truthfully, and Andrew nodded repeatedly.

Finally, Atik said with great emotion: "But today, I am willing to give my pistol to a general who surrendered to me, because I will use a general's pistol in the future. We defeated the Soviet Union, and now we have defeated the United States."

"

The two young men were extremely excited. One of them said urgently: "Give it to him, elder. You got the gun that the general handed over when he surrendered. This gun is your glory. You must carry this gun with you."

, declare your victory and glory!"

Atik also turned the muzzle of the gun upside down and handed over his Makarov PM pistol. Then he said in a victor's tone: "I'm giving this gun to you because I don't need it anymore."

After Andrew took over the pistol, Li Yang said with a serious face: "He said he hoped the general would treat this pistol well. This is a witness to history and his honor, for the sake of friendship."

Andrew whistled frivolously, and then he said to Atik: "I will cherish this pistol, for the sake of friendship."
