Chapter 1299 Great Deeds, Foreign Minister Bai!
That night, in the temporary foreign affairs hotel behind the Panama City administrative building.
After the banquet ended, the delegation didn't go anywhere and all returned to their residences.
At this time, in a luxurious suite, Jin Maohui sat on the sofa, frowning, smoking one cigarette after another. The whole room was filled with an unpleasant smell of smoke.
On the television in front of him, a local drama was playing, speaking a language that Jin Maohui didn't understand.
Fei Pingsheng, on the other hand, looked solemn, sitting by the window, watching the beautiful Panama City Canal outside, drinking coffee with a heavy heart.
The tipsy, foolish state he had shown at the banquet earlier had long disappeared.
After a long time, Jin Maohui couldn't hold it in any longer. He slammed the television off and turned to look at Fei Pingsheng's melancholy profile, asking, "Brother, can you stop acting like Zhuge Liang, gazing at the heavens at night? Say something!"
Hearing this somewhat dissatisfied voice, Fei Pingsheng turned around and asked, "Say what?"
Jin Maohui said irritably, "About Da Bai! What else could it be!"
Fei Pingsheng took a sip of coffee and said slowly, "There's no need to talk about Da Bai. He's definitely already working. "
Jin Maohui said worriedly, "Can he handle it? That kid came back, but he hasn't even called. We have no direction at all! The war is about to start, and I feel uneasy, Lao Fei!"
Fei Pingsheng thought for a while, "A long drought meets sweet rain. I guess tonight will be tough. There's no use in being anxious. Let's wait until tomorrow morning."
Jin Maohui sighed helplessly, "I'm just impressed. Bruna is really ruthless, not letting go of even the seriously ill...!"
Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
A guard outside the door shouted loudly, "Report, Foreign Minister Bai is here."
The two exchanged a glance, and Jin Maohui quickly said, "Come in!"
"Beep—"
The door was swiped open by the guard, and Bai Hongbo walked in, having changed into casual clothes.
Fei Pingsheng personally went forward to greet him, saying with emotion, "Foreign Minister Bai, you've really done a great job! You haven't forgotten us even in your busy schedule! You've worked too hard!"
Bai Hongbo waved his hand, then wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat weakly on the sofa.
Fei Pingsheng poured a cup of tea for Da Bai and joked, "Here, Foreign Minister Bai, drink some water to replenish yourself."
Jin Maohui was more direct, coming straight to the point and asking anxiously, "Foreign Minister Bai, how did your talks with them go? What did they say?"
After a long silence, Bai Hongbo slowly said, "As expected, with my best efforts, it's stable!"
Jin Maohui didn't rush to be happy, but quickly followed up, "How is it stable? Tell us quickly!"
Bai Hongbo leaned back on the sofa, paused for a moment, and said, "Actually, my wife didn't want to talk about any new alliance treaty in the first place. After all, in the current situation, suddenly bringing up such a thing is very inappropriate. It's easy to damage the relationship between Panama City, Dragon City, and the Hua District, and it feels like kicking someone when they're down. However, the internal administrative faction, as well as some high-level officials in the Blackwater Legion, couldn't wait any longer. In their view, this was the perfect opportunity to take back Panama City's sovereignty. So, the negotiations were just due to too much internal pressure. My wife had no choice."
Hearing this, the two finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
If Chief Bruna had this attitude, then things could still turn around. Of course, it cannot be denied that Bai Hongbo played a crucial role in this.
Before and after Bai Hongbo appeared, the attitude she showed was completely different.
After a moment of silence, Jin Maohui raised another concern, "What about... the Blackwater Legion?"
Bai Hongbo took a sip of water and thought for a while, saying, "I asked about that too. On this point, my wife's attitude is very firm. She doesn't think Bo Ang would do anything extreme. She will also talk to Bo Ang herself tomorrow during the day, hoping that things can be resolved peacefully."
Hearing this, the three were a little silent again.
Bai Hongbo put down his water cup and sighed, "But... Bo Ang doesn't give me a good feeling."
Fei Pingsheng also shook his head, "It's more than just not good, I estimate... he has no way out..."
Jin Maohui immediately added, "There's no turning back once the arrow is shot. Once some things are done, there's no going back!"
Mentioning this issue, everyone's faces were a little unsightly.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Hongbo said, "Let's get the things Xiao Yu arranged done first. There's no use talking about anything else now. Let's do our best and be prepared for the worst."
"Okay."
The three sat in the room and talked in low voices.
...
The next day, at 9:30 in the morning, Panama City Administrative Hall.
Bruna, wearing a beautiful dress and looking energetic, sat in her office and immediately had Bo Ang summoned.
About half an hour later, Bo Ang controlled his wheelchair and entered the office alone.
At this time, the only people in the room were the siblings from the Bernardo family.
Bruna stood up, personally poured a cup of coffee, handed it to Bo Ang, and took the lead in saying, "According to the current progress of the negotiations, we are proceeding very smoothly, and Dragon City is also very cooperative. Therefore, I'm considering having representatives from both sides formally sign a new alliance agreement at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, completely ending this incident!"
Bo Ang didn't change his expression, but nodded in agreement, "No problem, I agree with your idea."
Saying that, Bo Ang raised his coffee cup and said with a solemn expression, "Congratulations to us for finally regaining our sovereignty in this struggle!"
Bruna glanced at him and also raised her coffee cup, "That's certainly worth celebrating, isn't it?"
"Clink."
The siblings gently clinked their cups and took a sip of coffee.
After completing this simple ritual, Bo Ang put down his coffee cup, "In that case, I should also complete my work. I will order the Blackwater Legion to send troops to clear the supply lines between us and Sri Lanka and Dragon City. At the same time, the security of the city must be protected. The three regiments that entered earlier will stay here for now."
Bruna nodded, "I'm glad you said that, little brother."
Bo Ang controlled his wheelchair, preparing to leave the office. Just then, Bruna stopped him, "Wait a minute."
"Swish!"
Bo Ang sat in his wheelchair and turned to look at her.
The two looked at each other, slightly silent.
Bruna stood in front of her desk, her voice slightly trembling as she said, "My dear brother, you know that since the last Panama City incident, we lost our father, lost our brothers, and lost our family. The Bernardo family only has you and me left. After the baptism of war, this family affection is as precious as a diamond to me. I think it's the same for you."
Bo Ang looked at his sister and suddenly grinned, "Of course, you will always be my sister."
After saying that, Bo Ang turned and left the office.
Bruna stood in front of the desk, slowly put down her coffee cup, lowered her head to look at the ground, and remained silent for a long time...
...
That night, Bo Ang did not allow Gillman's Black Bear Regiment to be mobilized, but only let them continue to stay in Panama City.
At the same time, he ordered Copson's Gray Bear Regiment to move closer to the canal first and conduct military control along the way.
...
Hua District, Southern Theater Command, in a military hospital.
Jiangzhou walked in a hurry, with a happy expression on his face, into a special care ward...
