Chapter 2776: Fulfill Your Wish
Night, state banquet.
Twelve dishes, one soup and one staple food.
But there are only two people, General Ugo and Ye Tianlong.
Moreover, the state banquet was held at Lancheng Port, where the Expedition was visible.
Under Ye Tianlong's advice, Fu Yuanwai and Pu Zhanjun left at noon to avoid being involved in the coming storm.
For Ye Tianlong, fighting alone is far more effective than fighting in a group. After all, this is the country of Ukraine and the territory of the European royal family.
"Master Ye, congratulations on winning the Expedition."
General Ugo swept away the killing intent and dissatisfaction in the morning, and his old face was filled with the enthusiasm of a host entertaining guests:
"Don't worry, the ship is going through the procedures in accordance with the regulations, and you can transport it in a week."
When talking about transporting it away, General Ugo looked a little sad, as if he was giving up a child.
But he soon regained his composure.
He pushed a cup of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall in front of Ye Tianlong: "Here, this is the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall I asked the Chinese chef to make. See if it suits your taste."
"Thank you General Ugo."
Ye Tianlong didn't refuse at all. He took the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall with a smile, then opened it. The aroma was overflowing. He picked up the spoon and took a sip, and praised loudly:
“Although it’s not top-notch, it’s still authentic.”
Ye Tianlong said with a playful smile: "The general has put great care into this meal."
Ugo said generously: "To be honest, I'm very angry that Mr. Ye ruined my plan and set a big trap for me. I wish I could kill you with one shot."
"But this is a decision based on one's position and interests. Putting these aside, I sincerely appreciate the strong demeanor Young Master Ye showed today."
"For a young boy from the East to stand on the stage of Uzbekistan and kill nearly a hundred royal darlings, it is a very passionate thing to think about."
He sighed softly: "That's what a man should do."
People with strength, whether they are enemies or not, are worthy of respect.
"The general commends you."
Ye Tianlong became humble and polite: "I can survive until now and still get the Expedition. In addition to my luck, the other reason is that the general keeps his word."
"After all, this is your territory, and you are in charge of the army. If you turn against me, I will be in doom."
There was a hint of sincerity in his eyes: "The fact that I can still have dinner with you now is entirely a gift from the general."
Ugo's eyes flashed with light: "Hahaha, Mr. Ye, you are really a talent, you can go up and down."
"When you are arrogant, people want to beat you to death; when you are humble, people appreciate your sincerity."
"It's a pity that we collided with the wrong thing at the wrong time, otherwise you and I would really have a chance to be friends and cherish each other."
"I'm not falling out now, and I'm still having dinner with you. I'm just practicing the procedures between sellers and buyers."
"Once the handover of the Expedition is completed and you and I have no cooperative relationship, I will probably kill you by any means necessary."
Ugo's smile became meaningful: "You must be careful about me then."
"It's very pleasant. I like the general's sincerity, even if we are just friends for tonight."
Ye Tianlong laughed, picked up the wine glass and said, "I will stay with you until I get drunk."
Ugo didn't talk nonsense and directly met Ye Tianlong: "Okay, I won't come back until I'm drunk."
The two laughed and drank the vodka from their glasses.
"General, even if we are just friends for tonight, I still want to treat you with all my heart."
Ye Tianlong filled the two of them with wine, stared at Ugo and asked: "I want to ask the general, does the general love this country?"
"certainly!"
Ugo replied without hesitation: "Although I am not a perfect person and I have done wrong things, I sincerely love this land."
"I used to want it to prosper."
"Now, I hope it is peaceful and peaceful."
"In the future... I don't know the future..."
Speaking of this, his eyes were a little lonely, and then he finished the glass of wine, and he didn't know what the future of Wu Country would be like.
Wu Guo did not want to be used as a weapon, but its strategic position meant that it could only dance on the tips of two knives, and it was also destined that it would be stabbed sooner or later.
As for the day he was stabbed, Ugo didn't know.
"I dote on Castile and favor Prince Mason. In your eyes, I am a selfish guy, but I have a clear conscience."
Ugo said calmly: "Because I have my reasons."
He hopes to involve European forces to give Ukraine a little more room for maneuver.
"I see."
Ye Tianlong poured him another glass of wine: "General, this is for the country of Wu."
"Indeed."
Ugo smiled and said: "It's a pity that my deployment has been destroyed by you. Now not only can I not get the support of Mason and the others, I may also be suppressed by them."
"I hate you, but when I think about it deeper, I shouldn't hate you."
"I was the one who forced you to change the rules and force you to fight to the death. The current outcome is entirely my own fault."
He waved his hand cheerfully: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, come, drink, and stay drunk for tonight's friendship."
Ye Tianlong clinked the wine glass with him, and then drank the vodka.
After talking for half an hour, the hostility between the two dissipated a lot, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
When pouring wine again, Ye Tianlong asked seriously: "General, if you really want to do the best for the country of Wu, then let me transport the Expedition away as soon as possible."
"Don't wait a week."
He lowered his voice: "Don't even plan to delay my departure. That will be opposite to the result you want."
General Ugo narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
Ye Tianlong smiled and pointed out Wu Ge's thoughts: "The general said that it would take a week to complete the handover procedures, but it was just an excuse to delay me legally."
"You have gathered 24 forces to bid, so how could you not prepare all the procedures?"
"You delayed for a week, the purpose is to wait for the royal family to make a decision and see how they are going to deal with me."
He smiled: "After all, the British royal family is not ready to retaliate against me, and you let me leave with the Expedition. Aren't you a sinner of the royal family?"
Ugo paused with his glass in the air: "Young Master Ye, you think too much."
Ye Tianlong said calmly: "Whether you think too much or not, the general knows it."
"As a friend, a friend of overnight friendship, I tell you, letting me leave tomorrow will do more good than harm to you and Wuguo."
He sighed lightly: "Otherwise you will regret it."
Ugo frowned: "Why?"
"The clash between me and the royal family must be a bloodbath."
Ye Tianlong leaned over the glass: "General, do you hope that this battle will take place in Wuguo or abroad?"
General Wugo's face changed wildly, as if he knew what Ye Tianlong meant.
"General, stand up and take a look..."
Ye Tianlong patted General Ugo's shoulder, then gently pointed his left hand to the dilapidated Expedition and the port:
"Tell me, what do you see?"
General Ugo stood up for some reason, glanced at the magnificent but no longer prosperous port, and the huge but scrapped ship, and sighed:
"I saw the glory of the past, and I also saw the decline of the present."
He felt a pang in his heart: "The glory is gone."
If you have never been prosperous and glorious, then you will get used to the current desolation. The most uncomfortable thing is that you used to be so glorious, but now everything has changed.
Ye Tianlong stood beside him: "It is said that when the Expedition was transported from the Bear Country, the general was as excited as those experts."
"I want to continue to build one of the best aircraft carriers in the world and show the world the everlasting military technology of the Ukrainian country."
"For this, the general also raised funds everywhere and tried to persuade the superiors, but unfortunately, due to strategic needs, the Expedition eventually became a pile of scrap metal."
"The general wants to see the king of the sea, but I am afraid he will never have the chance in this life."
His voice suddenly became calm, as friendly as an old friend: "Hasn't the general's heart been hurt and regretful over the years?"
General Wu Ge did not speak, but the corners of his mouth could not stop moving, indicating his inner struggle.
After a long time, he sighed: "Ye Tianlong, what do you want to say?"
"I will fulfill your wish."
Ye Tianlong shook General Wu Ge's hand:
"Let you see the Expedition sailing through the blue waves and riding the wind in your lifetime..."
