The Italian who led the team looked to be in his thirties. He had neat clothes, a carefully groomed mustache, and a dark red beret on his head. There was a pattern on the beret.

A cap badge with a sharp sword and wings. In addition to the cap badge that indicated which army he belonged to, there was also a Roman team emblem.

He is wearing the three-color camouflage pattern common to NATO, but there is a national flag on the left shoulder, which represents the nationality of the visitor.

He looked very serious and very dignified. Although the rank on his epaulettes proved that he was only a captain, he looked as if a general had come to inspect.

At least in front of Andrew, this captain is more imposing than Andrew, the colonel.

"Colonel, my name is Renato Alfano, rank of captain."

The Italian saluted, and then he stood in front of Andrew with a very standard posture, at least more like a soldier than the fat-headed Andrew.

Andrew returned a military salute. He looked at Renato in front of him with suspicion. Then he looked at the three soldiers behind Renato. Through the armbands on the soldiers' arms, he recognized the nationalities of the three.

Andrew pointed to the other three people and said with suspicion: "Are they from Deguo?"

Renato looked back, and then he said calmly: "Oh, yes, I heard that you were going back to Europa. After I asked, they were willing to go home with me, so we left together.

.”

Andrew still looked confused, and he whispered: "Have you obtained permission from the Kabul Resident Chief?"

Renato shrugged, then he smiled and said: "Well, regarding this, I am Italy's liaison officer in NATO. I can end my current mission and return home at any time. In fact, I should have gone back a long time ago, but I was

Damn aliens ruined the trip."

Andrew continued to frown, and then he pointed at the three foreigners and said, "Then do they have permission to leave? Why are there only four of you?"

Renato smiled and said: "They... are responsible for escorting me. I can't go on the road alone. Mr. Colonel, I think your focus is biased? After all, what we should consider now is how to get home.

.”

Andrew took a long breath, then he touched his chin and said, "In other words, you are the only Italian?"

"Yes, our troops have ended their combat mission in Afhan and have all withdrawn a long time ago. Now I am the only Italian here, and I need protection. So, I will find three people who are willing to come back with me."

Soldier of the family, this is not too much, right?"

Andrew thought for a while, and suddenly he shouted to the three German soldiers who had just gotten out of the car: "Hey, you guys, can you speak English?"

The three Germans shook their heads together.

Andrew turned around and shouted: "Come here and get someone who speaks German to translate for me!"

Renato's expression changed slightly, and then he said loudly: "Colonel, don't you want to ask me how I got here? Don't you want to know what Afohan has become?"

Andrew shook his head and whispered: "I care, but I want to find out what happened even more, because when I contacted the commander of Kabul Air Force Base, he clearly rejected the proposal to evacuate with us.

"

Renato opened his arms, and then he said in an exaggerated manner: "Please, there are always people who understand. Not everyone is so rigid, can't see the situation clearly, and insists on being left to die!"

At this moment, a German soldier ran over quickly. He saluted Andrew, and then said urgently: "Sir, I can speak English, and of course I can also speak German."

Andrew pointed to the three soldiers who came with Renato and said: "Ask them what's going on, why only three of them are here, and what happened on the road."

Renato said: "Sir, you can ask me."

Andrew ignored Renato at all. The German soldier asked about his fellow countryman. They had a pleasant chat. After a few words, the German soldier who could speak English said to Andrew: "Sir, they

Hearing that we were going home, we left with Chief Renato Alfano."

Andrew frowned and said, "Desert?"

The German soldier hesitated for a moment and said: "They are not deserters, because there is no order prohibiting them from leaving. The situation in Kabul is a mess now."

Andrew thought for a moment, and then he finally gave up on whether Renato was a deserter.

"Ask them how they came here, whether there was any fighting on the way, and how they traveled so far and came here alive."

"Sir, there was no fighting on their way, but they encountered many obstacles from the locals, but every time it was this... Chief Alfano who dealt with the locals, and they had a smooth journey along the way."

Andrew looked at Renato with some surprise, and Li Yang, who had been translating for Gao Yuan, was also a little surprised. As for Gao Yuan, he was simply very, very curious.

Afhan is not peaceful. Just four people can run from Kabul to Kandahar smoothly. This is not something that everyone can do.

Andrew put his fingers under his chin and rubbed it for a long time, and then he finally said to Renato: "How did you do that?"

Renato spread his hands and said: "It's very simple, as long as we respect their customs and understand the needs of the locals, we can become friends with anyone."

Andrew immediately looked at the translator and said, "Ask them how they got here and why they didn't have to fight."

The German soldiers asked their compatriots again.

It was obvious that Andrew did not trust this Italian, and he preferred to learn the truth from the mouths of three victorious soldiers.

The translator quickly looked at Renato, and then he whispered: "Bribery, by paying certain supplies to the intercepted militants in exchange for safe passage. They encountered three interceptions along the way, but they all relied on this method to leave.

of."

Andrew said in surprise: "How is that possible! Don't those militants know that killing them can steal all the supplies? Then why did they choose to let them leave after getting a small amount of supplies?"

Renato coughed twice, then he smiled and said: "Friendship, especially a friendship based on long-term cooperation, Colonel, I don't think this is too much."

Andrew whispered: "I should have thought of it earlier. You have used this trick before. You have made a private agreement with those terrorists to bribe them in exchange for them not to launch attacks on you. Fake, I am stupid."

We withdrew our troops a long time ago, and now you can still use this trick."

Renato stood on tiptoes, shrugged, spread his hands, and said with an innocent face: "This will prevent our soldiers from dying in distant Afham. Colonel, now I just want to know if you really want to take them home, otherwise
