Except for Li Yang, who was under the care of Bucky's medical staff, the entire Spark Team attended the luncheon. The long table in front of them was filled with food, most of which were roasted chicken, mutton, and various curry-flavored stews.

, and of course, sheets of thin pancakes.

If this was a state banquet, then this state banquet would be a bit too shabby. However, if you know that this is a table of dishes served when the city was besieged for three months and food was extremely scarce, then you should be grateful to Bucky for being able to serve this

The food is on the table.

There were about sixty people present, and all of them were high-ranking officials from Bucky's side. Those wearing suits or robes were politicians, and those wearing military uniforms were of course military personnel.

The problem is that only two tables of dishes can be gathered for this luncheon. Although the dishes of Chief Bucky Mahali's table are exactly the same as Gao Yuan's table, there is an obvious difference in the quantity of dishes.

It was wartime now, so all aspects of etiquette were kept simple, but Mahari still had to express his welcome and speak. After listening to Mahari's speech, the people present collectively welcomed Gao Yuan and the others, and then left one by one.

In the end, only two tables of people were left.

The same dish was served in a basin on Gao Yuan's side, and a plate on Mahali's side. When Mahali invited Gao Yuan and the others to enjoy their meal, several of Bucky's top core figures also started to take action, but

No matter how they ate, the food on the plate didn't decrease much.

Gao Yuan felt uncomfortable looking at it. Now he knew that Bucky really couldn't get anything out of him.

Why did everyone in the room have to leave just now? It’s because they really can’t prepare a banquet for dozens of people to eat together.

Yu Shunzhou and the others thought this was the custom here at Bucky.

"This muscle is good, a bit like Orleans grilled chicken wings. Try it."

Yu Shunzhou whispered to Gao Yuan next to him, then he picked up a piece of pancake, put two meat skewers on the pancake, rolled the meat skewers with the pancake, and said: "Let's roll a big pancake with barbecue.

, very beautiful.”

The most popular thing was pasta. The golden fried pancakes looked pretty good. Xinghe picked up one and took a bite. Then he shook his head and said, "It's too greasy. I don't like it."

Gao Yuan coughed twice, and then he whispered: "Hey, hey, please pay attention. Well, it's enough to be more civilized when eating. Don't waste it, but don't eat it endlessly. The food supply here is extremely poor now."

We are in short supply, so let’s not be rude, and we must also take care of the dignity of our poor relatives. That’s what I mean, you just need to understand.”

Xinghe said to Gao Yuan: "What is the dignity of taking care of poor relatives?"

Gao Yuan hurriedly said: "You don't understand. Only those who have experienced poverty understand that you can eat what you have to eat, just don't waste it."

Gao Yuan and the others were whispering here, but Yao Yi and Chen Wei were sitting at the same table as Mahali.

Mahali also whispered: "I'm sorry, I couldn't entertain you well..."

Yao Yi quickly said: "It's already very good, very good. Look how happy our young man is eating."

The situation in Gilgit was too critical, so Mahali gave Yao Yi and Gao Yuan time to communicate internally before discussing the war situation with Yao Yi. His patience had reached the limit, and he could not wait until the luncheon was over before starting to talk about business.

.

"Mr. Ambassador, can I ask you to introduce the situation now?"

Mahali leaned slightly towards Yao Yi and said, "I want to know how many reinforcements your country has sent?"

Yao Yi did not hesitate. He had already discussed with Chen Wei how to answer Mahali's question.

"Mr. Commander, I regret to tell you that there are actually no large reinforcements, only a dozen or so of them."

Mahali, who was full of expectations, was stunned, and then he breathed out softly.

Yao Yi continued: "Our domestic situation is very complicated, and now we no longer have the ability to send troops to support."

Mahali nodded and whispered: "It's understandable..."

Mahali's disappointment was palpable. Since the beginning of the Asan War, he had met with Yao Yi almost every day. Since Gilgit was besieged, the only theme of his meeting with Yao Yi was the hope that Yao Yi could ask for help from China.

Now, people came from China, but the news they brought completely shattered Mahali's hopes.

"No matter what, our enemies on the eastern front have collapsed. This is excellent news after all. On behalf of all the Pakistani people, I would like to express my gratitude."

After sincerely thanking him, Mahari didn't know what to say.

Yao Yi said in a low voice: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, we are not talking about diplomatic rhetoric now. We are talking about the most direct issue. Our country's assistance is unlikely to come for the time being, but we are willing to cooperate with you and use all means to urge Ah San to withdraw from the war as soon as possible, including conducting

Formal warning."

Hope reignited in Mahari's eyes, and Yao Yi continued in a low voice: "We have already discussed it, and we will give Ah San a formal note. If they do not stop the war immediately, we will launch an attack on the border between the two countries."

,Although this is just a warning, I believe it can play a certain role."

If a country, especially a big country, issues a formal warning, no one would dare to take the warning as a joke.

Even if aliens invade, China may not be able to deal with the aliens, but it can still be done by trying its best and working with Bucky to deal with Ah San.

What's more, Ah San is also greatly weakened now. If everyone is very weak in a decisive battle, Ah San will definitely be the one who dies first.

It turns out that if Yao Yi had not contacted China, he would not have made such a statement on his own initiative, but now that Gao Yuan is here, it is different.

Gao Yuan is not qualified to represent China, but he carries an order with him. The content of this order is that everyone, please note that everyone, must unconditionally cooperate with Gao Yuan to complete the mission.

Now Gaoyuan's westward march is blocked, and the fastest way to open it is to let Ah San withdraw his troops. The way to make Ah San withdraw his troops is for Yao Yi to issue a war warning to Ah San on behalf of China. Therefore, Yao Yi has no intention of

Hesitantly he did so.

Mahali did not get reinforcements, but he got the declaration from China that he dreamed of.

"Very good!"

Mahari stood up, stretched out his hands and held them with Yao Yi. After turning his head and looking at Gao Yuan, Mahari trembled again: "Great!"

Yao Yi also stood up, but Mahali pressed Yao Yi's shoulder and said urgently: "Please sit down and talk, sit down and talk, how do you need us to cooperate?"

"Have Asan's troops on the western front begun to retreat?"

"Not yet. We estimate that if Ah San wants to retreat, it will take at least three to ten days. It will take them a long time to make a decision to retreat, and even if they retreat, they will not retreat too far. This is our staff officer

judgment made by the Ministry.”
