Chapter 242 This Is the Interest You Owe Me!

"Eight hours, a full 8 hours! My people lost contact in Benghazi for a full 8 hours. Tell me what are you doing now? You still have the nerve to tell me an explanation, and that's what you gave me!"

General Ross never expected that this guy from Sheffield would actually come all the way to his own territory to ask for someone. Now that he is being pointed at and scolded by the other party, he really has no temper at all.

"I lent you the people, not to use them as cannon fodder for me. In eight hours, I could have flown back and forth twice to lead the team in Afghanistan. Tell me where are the people now? Where are the people!"

The beard on Sheffield's face was almost crooked with anger, his eyebrows were raised, and his eyes seemed to be glaring with anger.

Fortunately, the soundproofing effect of this lounge is good. Otherwise, if the subordinates outside heard it, where would General Ross's face be?

Facing the glaring Sheffield, General Ross really couldn't say a word to refute.

He knew in his heart that Sheffield had given him Ross a lot of face, otherwise the two of them would not be staying in General Ross's barracks now, but in the main dock of the military court.

141 But Sheffield has a good treasure, and Sheffield will feel sad for a while if any one of them is missing. Right now, 5 of them are missing, and one of them may be dead!

If it hadn't been for the private friendship between the two, would Sheffield have just come here in private to prosecute him like he is now?

If it were anyone else, this guy would have led troops to raid the military camp by now!

Just scold him, Ross won't lose a piece of his skin just because of these two scoldings. He is such a pet peeve, so what can he do to calm down with a few scoldings?

General Ross simply took out his cigar, lit it and took a puff silently. He acted like he was doing whatever he wanted and let Sheffield do whatever he wanted.

As if he was tired of scolding, Sheffield pulled up a chair nearby and sat down. He grabbed the lighter from Rose's hand, took one out of the cigar box nearby and lit it.

"These are serious Cuban cigars from my collection, please save some for me!"

Seeing that Sheffield was not only lighting up one but also planning to take away the entire cigar box, General Ross immediately gave up.

Just smoke, what's the big deal if you take them all away?

"This is interest!"

Sheffield didn't care about that. He opened General Ross's hand to stop him and put the cigar box into his arms.

Sheffield blew out the smoke angrily, sat back in his chair and ignored Rose, just sulking to himself.

"Okay, take it if you like, I still have it anyway."

General Ross didn't agree with him, so who could let himself be at fault? There is nothing valuable in this lounge except the box of cigars. If you can, Sheffield, take them all.

Seeing that this guy had scolded him enough, General Ross sighed and started talking about business.

"Limited by the military agreement, my troops cannot enter Benghazi on a large scale, so I can only send out small groups of troops to infiltrate the city of Benghazi."

Sheffield said nothing and was still smoking by himself.

"But the actual situation in Benghazi is complicated. The local people and ordinary soldiers are very resistant to our people, so the search is very difficult."

Sheffield still didn't say anything. He actually knew this better than Rose.

"In addition, it is late at night over there, making the search more difficult. I had to temporarily pull people out of the city and wait until dawn before sending people in to search."

Sheffield clicked his tongue disdainfully, looking at General Ross with an expression full of disdain.

"Dawn? How long until dawn? I'm afraid all my people will be dead if I don't wait until dawn!"

General Ross ignored the other party's annoyance and continued to state the facts calmly.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We can intervene on the resistance side, but the other bunch of idiots won't listen to us. In order to prevent Iron Man from getting involved, that Captain Card specifically threatened us with nuclear weapons. , which makes us very passive.”

Hearing the nuclear weapons, Sheffield's eyes moved and he took a puff of cigarette calmly.

"I inquired about the nuclear warhead. The CIA did find some clues, and the target was the guy named Lawrence. It's a pity..."

General Ross blew out a smoke ring and followed Sheffield's words:

"It's a pity that we didn't catch that guy Lawrence and let him escape again."

"Didn't your people see that guy in Benghazi?"

"To be precise, it's your person."

General Ross repeated to Sheffield the information previously reported by Captain MacTavish to his intelligence officer, which made Sheffield frown.

"You mean to say that Lawrence was behind this war?"

General Ross played with the half-burned cigar stick in his hand, his eyes flashing with an indescribable meaning.

"He doesn't have the courage, let alone the strength. This is a small fish, and the big fish is probably yet to come."

Sheffield raised his eyebrows, understanding what General Ross meant.

"What are you going to do?"

"Use the trick. Since they regard the B1 team as prey, why don't we just use them as bait for fishing? Lawrence is nothing to be afraid of. I want to see who is the last big fish!"

General Ross clenched his fists and crushed the cigar rod in his hand, leaving the still-burning cigarette butt to fall to the ground and be crushed under his feet.

"Is this your plan? You don't tell the people who tricked me, but you plan to use them as bait?"

Sheffield looked a little strange, so he simply put his cigar on the ashtray temporarily.

"How are you going to compensate me for my loss?"

General Ross stared at his old opponent, and pointedly led his eyes to look at the newspaper on the table beside him.

It was a New York Evening News dated the 4th of last month. Sheffield didn't remember the content very clearly, but the most important one was undoubtedly the headline that occupied an entire page:

[War hero Steve Rogers wakes up, Captain America returns to New York after 66 years]

"You mean... Super Soldier..."

"General! Contact the missing B1 team! Captain McTavish and the others are still alive!"

Before Sheffield could finish his words, the door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open by an intelligence officer, blocking the question he wanted to ask.

General Ross sat up suddenly after hearing the content clearly, and he didn't care about this guy coming in without knocking. He got up and planned to rush to the command room.

"What did you say? Where are they now?"

The intelligence officer pushed open the door and noticed that there was someone sitting in the room, and it was his general's mortal enemy. He realized that he was rude and apologized quickly:

"I'm sorry, General, I didn't notice that you had a guest. Captain McTavish and others are currently in Benghazi!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's talk about your business later! Take me there immediately. I just want to figure out what those guys are doing to me now!"

Sheffield glanced at the newspaper on the table, secretly remembered this matter in his heart, stood up and quickly followed General Ross, and echoed:

"Ross is right, the situation in Benghazi is more important now, take us there quickly!"

The intelligence officer breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. His military career was saved for now, but it was uncertain whether he could continue to stay in the General Staff in the future.

"Yes, please follow me, generals."
