Chapter 1151 Conditions for settlement
Cooper is willing to negotiate, which can save him a lot of things.
On the contrary, if the other party is always unwilling to talk, it will not be beneficial to either Zhang Pin or Bourne.
As the largest intelligence agency in America and the largest intelligence agency in the world, the energy Langley can mobilize is terrifying.
And there is a key question.
Right now, whether he or Bourne, their feud with Langley is just a business matter.
Because everyone has different interests, the current dispute has arisen.
If you wait until the situation continues to escalate, when the conflicts begin to become irreconcilable and become life-and-death, then no matter whether it is Zhang Pin or Bourne, even if they can continue to win, life will not be the same. There can be no more peace.
Especially since they are individuals and Langley is a collective.
No matter how much the opponent loses, as long as they win once, it will cost them their lives.
Zhang Pin has never liked gambling, and naturally he doesn't like to make things irreconcilable.
Unless he now has the ability to directly destroy America, otherwise, the more killings he causes, the more powerful the counterattack force will eventually be.
Temporary compromise is inevitable for Zhang Pin.
Of course, this kind of compromise does not mean that he can only give in.
Langli is a collective, in which indestructibility is naturally a disadvantage, but similarly, just because Langli is a collective, there are also advantages to Zhang Pin.
That is, the number of people who have conflicts of interest with him is limited.
If Langley is really unwilling to negotiate, then he doesn't mind sending away all the guys who are unwilling to negotiate.
But at this critical moment, Zhang Pin is not willing to take this risk.
"Are you willing to shut up?"
Cooper was a little surprised when he heard Zhang Pin's words, and he even looked at Bourne specifically.
When he saw it, Bourne simply chose to remain silent, obviously acquiescing to Zhang Pin's statement.
"Actually, a large part of the reason for this conflict between us is the misunderstanding caused by the lack of communication."
Zhang Pin nodded.
He was not telling lies just to negotiate peace with Langley.
For him, many things are really just a little misunderstanding, which finally turned into what it is now.
The same is true for Bourne. The other party has served Langley for so many years. If it weren't for his amnesia, it would be impossible for him to betray Langley.
"Misunderstanding! You are saying that our Asian Hong Kong Island branch and Bangzi branch were destroyed, and hundreds of members were attacked and martyred. These are all misunderstandings."
"Our European intelligence The station was destroyed one after another, and more than a dozen military attachés and intelligence agents were killed. This is also a misunderstanding."
"We lost four elite commandos and a group of intelligence agents in Luoji Mountain. This is still a misunderstanding."
"You are now leading the commandos out, then entering the stronghold and coming to me. This is also a misunderstanding."
"You betrayed Langley's undercover list in Eastern Europe. Is this a misunderstanding?"
Hearing Zhang Pin say that both parties ended up like this because of a misunderstanding, Cooper couldn't help but feel sad for a moment. Questions were asked.
"Of course, of course, these are all misunderstandings."
Zhang Pin is so thick-skinned, he has no embarrassment at all for Cooper's doubts.
“In fact, if you look at these things carefully, you will know that every action we take is just a passive counterattack. This time we come to the stronghold, it is the only time we take the initiative. But this time we take the initiative, we are holding peace talks. attitude, and in order to avoid killings, we transferred the operational members from the stronghold.”
Zhang Pin's words didn't make sense at first sight. After all, if calculated carefully, there were hundreds of Langley elites in the hands of him and Byrne, not to mention the economic and messy losses behind it.
If you really want to study it carefully, this is definitely an astronomical figure.
But if you think about it carefully, what he said seems to be not unreasonable.
After all, when these things are taken together, it seems that most of them were initiated by Langley first.
The actions of Zhang Pin and others are not wrong to define as counterattack.
"This is not a question of right or wrong. Langley's majesty cannot be provoked."
Cooper did not follow Zhang Pin's rhythm and say too much.
As a master of intelligence, he certainly knew that this incident was unreasonable.
As a behemoth, Langley is naturally on the opposite side of many people.
For the vast majority of people in Langley, they don’t care about the so-called fairness and right and wrong. As long as they block the road, they must be eliminated.
They could even break up the Mao Xiong back then, let alone Zhang Pin and Bourne, who could only represent themselves.
"Then there's nothing to talk about."
Zhang Pin also discovered that although Cooper was the confidant of Langley's speaker, he obviously had no independent decision-making power.
Cooper: "."
Hearing Zhang Pin's words, Cooper was silent for a moment, but did not give an answer that could be discussed.
He didn't even dare to say anything to temporarily stabilize the two of them, because besides him, there were several clerks in this room.
If Cooper dares to take it upon himself to agree to peace talks with Langley's enemies and traitors, if the news gets back, even if it is false, he will be punished.
Unlike a loner like Jason Bourne, Cooper's ability to get to where he is today cannot be entirely due to his ability.
Now because of Bourne's incident, his faction has lost a lot of voice.
If he chooses to compromise because of his fear of death, the consequences may be more serious than if he died.
"Okay, it seems like you can't make the decision yet, so I'll go find someone who can make the decision to talk."
When Zhang Pin saw Cooper like this, he knew that he had found the wrong target this time.
Although Cooper is the commander of the spy operation, he obviously does not have a high say within Langley.
Whether it is the issue of Bourne's identity or Zhang Pin, who is listed as a stumbling block, the other party has no right to deal with it.
“Sorry, I would like the contact information of the person in charge of the Stumbling Block Project.”
Zhang Pin crossed Cooper and walked into the room. Because they walked in, there were several female clerks who were huddled in the corner and did not dare to move.
Although Cooper is the commander of the Stepping Stone Project, he is obviously not the initiator of the project.
If nothing else, at least he is not old enough. After all, the Stepping Stone Project has been around for many years since the Cold War.
So behind Cooper, there must be someone who really controls the Stepping Stone Project.
And this person is obviously not Langley’s boss.
After all, in a key department like Langley, it is impossible for one person to hold the position of commander for a long time.
Hearing Zhang Pin's words, several women couldn't help but tremble, but no one cooperated with his words.
Click——
"A few of you are still very young, and we just want to talk to each other. I believe that you can serve Langley, and you should all be smart people."
No one answered. Zhang Pin directly clicked the bolt of the pistol, loaded the pistol manually, and then looked at a few women.
"Ah, don't shoot. I know the phone number. I'll give you the phone number."
Under the threat of life and death, someone who was usually just a clerk responsible for data processing immediately stood up.
"Albert, his name is Albert!"
While the woman wrote down a phone number, she also did not forget to tell Zhang Pin the name of the person in charge of the Stepping Stone Project. "Thank you."
Zhang Pin accepted the other party's kindness with a smile, then took out his mobile phone and dialed the number.
“I am Albert.”
The voice of the other person sounded majestic.
"Hello, my surname is Zhang, Zhang Pin. I wonder if you have heard of my name?"
Zhang Pin gets straight to the point.
"Mr. Zhang over there in Hong Kong City, is Bourne with you, right?"
Hearing Zhang Pin's self-introduction, Albert on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, maybe he remembered. Zhang Pin, someone has already reminded him.
He even guessed that Jason Bourne and Zhang Pin were together.
"Yes, we are now at your stronghold in Luoji Mountain. Originally, I wanted to negotiate with Mr. Cooper, but he couldn't make the decision, so I thought it would be better to negotiate with you. , you won’t let me down, Mr. Albert.”
Zhang Pin didn’t even hide it, and openly told the reason for his call.
"Peace talks? That would be the best, Mr. Zhang."
When Albert heard Zhang Pin say that he wanted peace talks, his first reaction seemed to be happiness. He didn't know whether the other party was pretending to do this or whether it was true. , at least in terms of attitude, is much better than Cooper.
"Very well, everything before was mostly caused by misunderstandings. I would like to express my sincere apologies for some shortcomings and irreparable regrets."
"I hope After the two parties have talked it over, everyone can move forward in different directions. It is best for no one to influence anyone anymore. What happened in the past should not be pursued again. What do you think, Albert? Sir."
Zhang Pin expressed his request directly regardless of whether the other party was really happy or pretending to be happy.
"I don't have much opinion on this, but Mr. Zhang should also know that I have to give an explanation to the superiors for this kind of matter."
After hearing what Zhang Pin said, Albert said, There was no immediate objection.
On the contrary, he first agreed and then put forward a condition.
"Oh, if Mr. Albert has any conditions, just say it."
Zhang Pin is also ready to hear what Albert's conditions are.
"It's like this. Mr. Zhang and Bourne are both very capable people. Langley has always respected capable people like you."
Albert went around first. With a twist, he complimented Zhang Pin and Bourne, and then changed the subject.
"Cooper took many people to Luoji Mountain in order to deal with Bourne's matter. Now that Mr. Zhang and Bourne are both at the stronghold, as long as you two can get out of the stronghold building, then The feud between us ends here."
Albert's conditions did not go beyond Zhang Pin's expectations, and the other party really wanted to use his men to try again to see if he could kill the two of them.
Crunch——
Buzz buzz——
Just when Albert finished speaking, there were bursts of car braking and the roar of engines coming from downstairs.
Apparently during the time they were communicating with Cooper and Albert, someone had already notified the members of the action team who had been out in the field.
Now the people who went out have rushed back from the outer gate.
“Okay, that’s settled.”
Zhang Pin was not afraid of being surrounded by Langley's field team.
Instead, he smiled and agreed to Albert's request, and then hung up the phone.
"As long as we fight out, the matter will be over."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Pin looked at Bourne.
“Do you still remember where the weapons depot of this stronghold is?”
Bang——Bang Bang——
“Follow me!”
When Bourne heard Zhang Pin’s words, he didn’t have much expression. He gave Cooper a few hard blows first. , after beating the opponent until he fell to the ground, he turned and walked towards the door.
Bang——
But just as he walked to the door, the wooden door of the room was suddenly kicked open. Even though Bourne reacted quickly, the whole person still flew out. .
Bang bang bang bang bang——
Click, click, click——
Then a series of bullets poured out from the door.
When Zhang Pin faced the attack, he did not forget to kick Cooper away to prevent him from being beaten into a hornet's nest by bullets.
At the same time that Zhang Pin kicked Cooper away, Bourne, who had just been kicked out, was still in mid-air, already raising his gun and shooting at the door.
Bang bang bang——
At the same time as Bourne fired, the shooting rhythm of the gunman who had just fired at the door was immediately interrupted. Originally, it was a blind shot, and the accuracy was almost invisible. Now with Bourne Due to the interference, the gunman at the door subconsciously moved aside to avoid the bullets.
Then Zhang Pin did not give the other party a chance to shoot again. He pointed the gun directly at the door and pulled the trigger.
Bang, bang, bang—
When the gunmen reorganized and fired in this direction again, what greeted them were naturally the bullets fired by Zhang Pin.
"Ahhh——"
After several gunmen were shot and fell to the ground, the gunman outside the door didn't know whether he was frightened and didn't dare to show up again, or the people behind him didn't follow. The scene was quiet for a while. Come down.
Zhang Pin and Bourne looked at each other, and Bourne glanced at the several frightened clerks in the room.
Zhang Pin shook his head and rejected the other party's idea of silencing him.
When the gunman at the door opened fire just now, he had no concern for these people.
Moreover, Zhang Pin really held the idea of peace talks this time. Whether he saved Cooper just now or left these clerks alive, he was showing his sincerity.
Of course, the more important thing is that these people are not a threat to him at all, so there is no need to kill them.
When Bourne saw Zhang Pin shaking his head, he stopped insisting and stood up and walked towards the door.
“Be careful.”
Seeing the other party being so reckless, Zhang Pin stood up and grabbed the other party, then picked up a chair and threw it towards the door.
Boom——
Click, click——
Bang, bang, bang——
The chair was only halfway flying when a series of bullets smashed the chair into pieces.
Obviously it was not that there was no one at the door, but that they were just waiting for Zhang Pin and Bourne to go out.
"Very good, remember to follow me."
Seeing this scene, Zhang Pin was not afraid, but smiled.
Then he reminded Bourne, picked up a chair again, and threw it towards the door again.
The next second after throwing the chair, Zhang Pin also jumped out.
