Chapter 3945 Don’t Look for Trouble
Seeing that everyone present raised their glasses, only Xu Qiang did not make any move, Freeman showed a sneer on his face at this moment. Xu Qiang's reaction to this matter surprised Freeman a little, but it was also expected.
You should know that the word backbone cannot be shown at any time and anywhere. Xu Qiang is like this now. This is Jock's private residence, of course, he must follow Jock's rules.
Everyone present raised their glasses, except Xu Qiang. In other words, he was dissatisfied with Jock. Jock would not let him go for Xu Qiang's disrespect.
"Xu Qiang, we have already toasted, why is your glass full?"
After Freeman's reminder, everyone turned their eyes to Xu Qiang, and saw that the glass in front of Xu Qiang was full, and not even a drop was moved.
Everyone had already toasted, and some people did not move at all, obviously not giving Jock face. Xu Qiang became the target of public criticism for a while. To stay clean in the mud, what he needed was his own strong power.
Because what you think is right is often seen as unpopular in the eyes of others. Such behavior touched the bottom line of their hearts. They all stared at Xu Qiang, waiting for Xu Qiang to give an explanation.
"Freiman, don't talk like that. Xu Qiang is my guest. Today's banquet is also a gathering of everyone at my residence. It's just a casual meal. There's nothing special, so everyone can just do whatever they want."
Jock sat in the main seat, and he maintained an attitude when speaking and doing things, that is, he didn't offend anyone, and he didn't speak in favor of anyone. You just listen.
As for the truth or falsehood of these words, you need to taste it yourself. It has nothing to do with Jock himself. Jock's ambiguous behavior seems to favor Xu Qiang.
But Xu Qiang knew in his heart that this remark was equivalent to tacitly agreeing with Freeman's previous approach. Since it was a casual meal, he didn't care about reality, so what Freeman said could count.
"I am here to do my duty as a host. Okay, you can continue."
Freiman seized this opportunity. He knew almost everyone present, and most of them were his supporters. Xu Qiang was alone on this trip. ,
So it was a mistake for Xu Qiang to come to the banquet today. He really thought of himself as a big shot. It is not easy to get involved in the circle of the mercenary battlefield.
"Xu Qiang, I understand why you don't want to toast with us. In the eyes of people like you, we are all murderous demons and executioners who slaughter lives. We can use any means to make money."
Without asking more questions, Freeman also guessed what Xu Qiang was thinking. People like Xu Qiang have a human nature in their temperament. They always think that they can save the whole world and are the savior sent by God.
War is shameful to them, so the topic discussed by everyone present today may have touched the depths of Xu Qiang's heart. In Chinese terms, it is called "different paths, different plans".
"What I said is correct, isn't it? Xu Qiang, you don't even dare to give everyone an answer?"
Xu Qiang smiled slightly. Qiao Ke's words were full of thorns, and he wanted to suppress him in terms of aura, but it was a pity that such an idea was really stupid.
If he dared to come here, he would not be afraid of trouble. He held the wine glass and poured all the wine in it onto the ground. Without Qiao Ke's permission, all this was his own idea.
"You are right. I think I am a little different, so this first glass of wine is not for anyone, but for the dead souls, whether they died in the scorched earth of war or our own comrades."
This remark successfully changed the direction. Everyone present understood that the reason they could climb to the current position was that they used countless corpses to pile up into a ladder.
"So my first glass of wine is to toast these dead souls. I don't mean to look down on the people present. Freyman, you misunderstood me, and there is no need to involve everyone in the grudge between us."
"You!"
"I am talking about a fact. If you feel that you must argue with me, then I will give you a chance after the banquet. But now everyone should have a meal here quietly. Don't disturb this peace, okay?"
Xu Qiang's implication is to let Freyman shut up and not find fault with him at any time. If he really wants to take action, Xu Qiang will not be afraid of such a person.
One sentence clearly marked Xu Qiang's position, and also turned the hostility of the crowd into a little respect for Xu Qiang. With such courage and scheming, Freyman has already lost at this point.
No wonder such a strong mercenary group can't do anything to a newcomer. The reason is here. Freyman is too arrogant and always thinks he is very arrogant, like an aristocrat in a Western country.
He looked down on Xu Qiang from the bottom of his heart. Even if Xu Qiang had some skills, he still couldn't get into Freeman's eyes. The prejudice of one person against another person could not be eliminated by just a few things.
"Okay, okay, both of you stop arguing. Xu Qiang, you are right. Our first glass of wine should be toasted to the dead souls. It was we who were careless and forgot about it."
So Jock stood up, stopped the hostility between the two, and led everyone to pour the wine in the glass on the ground.
Even if this approach is very stupid, Jock has to do it, because his face is here, and he still needs to count on these people present to expand the arms business, and the help of these people is indispensable.
So this banquet was filled with the smell of gunpowder and a touch of sadness at the beginning. After drinking for three rounds, Xu Qiang noticed that the topics they talked about were all about arms. It seemed that Jock's arrival this time, Brought a shipment.
The failure of the previous sea route caused Jiao Ke to suffer heavy losses, and also lost the trust and support of his tribe. In the end, he had to make a change, switching from sea to aviation, and he must transport the munitions.
Only in this way can he save himself. A dying person is eager for fresh blood to flow into his body. This is the effect of this batch of arms. They are discussing the distribution of arms.
"Didn't Xiao Yi say that arms can't be transported here? Why does this Jiao Ke still have goods in his hands?"
Yingluo said in confusion that it was not good news that Jiao Ke had arms in his hands, because once he had arms in his hands, Jiao Ke could do a lot of things and work.
Xu Qiang was not very clear about this. He thought about the way Jiao Ke appeared this time, and immediately understood something, and whispered to Yingluo.
"It is estimated that this batch of goods came by plane with Jock. The sea routes are completely blocked. If Jock wants to transport the goods, this is the only way to ensure that the arms are brought over."
