Chapter 3222 Like You, I Have Never Forgotten
No matter what the result is, Jack can't win, but at least he can't lose. Or, for him, Jill is a kind of existence that is similar to "it's best if she can help me, but it doesn't matter if she can't help me".
The whole plan is like a Russian nesting doll. If he didn't know Jack well enough and knew that this guy looked honest but was actually very opinionated and smart 12 years ago, Malashenko estimated that he might not be able to guess what the real plan behind it was.
However, this is also good news for Malashenko.
At least the head of the NATO coalition in the west is still a smart person. Maybe at this time, we should be thankful that Jack is a guy who "does not practice what he preaches".
Otherwise, if he really did what he said at the Senate hearing, "Let the Russians experience the Great Patriotic War 0", he would not be able to stop the situation once he started, and billions of people around the world would have to follow him.
Rounding off, this can even be said to be the fault of our old comrade Ma.
After all, Malashenko and Jack Morrison are in a causal relationship. Without Malashenko, who is the original Jack Morrison in history? This "result" is out of the question and can be regarded as non-existent.
Fortunately, all this did not happen. Jack may have changed a lot. Malashenko can see it from the fact that this kid can use such a trick.
But in the final analysis, he is still clear-headed and loves peace. At least he does not want to fight because his words and deeds are inconsistent. This is a blessing for Malashenko.
As for what happens next
Looking at Jill who is still sitting not far in front of him, Malashenko has already thought of a plan.
"I need you to do me a favor, Jill."
"Ah? Help? Okay, General, just say it."
Once upon a time, Jack also spoke to Jill and made requests in this way. It's a pity that Jill's reaction at that time was completely different from now. She looked at Jack as a scumbag and looked at Lao Ma with love in her eyes.
The same rank of general, but the treatment of the same woman is so different, it is really amazing.
Seeing that Jill agreed without thinking, Malashenko nodded and thought about what to say, and then spoke.
"When you go back, Jill, please tell Jack for me."
"Just say that I understand his intentions and know what he wants to do and what he doesn't want to do. Let him not have to think about it and make any irrational misjudgments. I agree with him, and I will convey this consensus to the top of our army."
"As for why I am a deputy in Fulda Gap"
Having said this, Malashenko had to sigh that the difficulty of this question was really hard to answer.
It is impossible to tell Jack the truth directly, but if you find other excuses to perfunctory it, whether he believes it or not is another matter.
After thinking carefully for a while, Malashenko finally chose a compromise statement.
"Tell him that I am just transferring here normally and will not continue to do this. If he is really interested in knowing more, let him come to see me in person. If he lets a woman perform this kind of task again, his teacher will be ashamed of him."
Malachenko did not care much about the trouble that would come to him if he contacted Jack privately through an intermediary.
Malachenko himself did not intend to hide this matter. He would definitely report it as soon as possible afterwards and convey the situation that there was no intention to fight in the west. He would do it as quickly as possible to cool down this tense confrontation period.
This strategic misjudgment in the context of stalemate is indeed very dangerous. If you are not careful, the whole powder keg will explode.
The more Malachenko thought about it, the more he understood what Jack was afraid of and nervous about his seemingly unusual transfer.
When Comrade Ma finished thinking and raised his head again, he saw Jill sitting on the chair opposite him with a slightly lost look.
This made Malashenko, who didn't realize that he hadn't said anything, feel a little confused, but he couldn't just ignore it and speak quietly.
"What happened, Jill?"
"I'm fine, General."
"Really? But your eyes don't say that. The eyes of love can't hide lies."
""
Jill, who had never been said to by another man, was uneasy. Although she didn't know whether what Malashenko said was true, she subconsciously chose to believe it unconditionally.
She raised her head again and saw Malashenko's gentle eyes looking at her. Jill's face quickly heated up as she clenched her hands on her legs. In the end, she spoke again in a voice so small that she couldn't even hear it.
"I thought you would keep me. I don't know why I suddenly expected you to say that. It was obviously not like this before I came. I heard that you still wanted to drive me away, so..."
Oh, it turned out to be for this.
Sometimes, Malashenko really felt that dealing with feelings was much more difficult than dealing with military affairs, and he was a little scratching his head.
There is no point in saying those useless criticisms after so many years. If Jill could really listen to the advice, she would not be like this now.
Whether this girl was a little girl 12 years ago or a strong woman in the workplace 12 years later, this strong personality and the characteristics of being determined and unchangeable are indeed unchanging.
"We are no longer young, Jill. For me, you have abandoned your family and career, and even bear the charge of treason, just to pursue love. This will make you lose too much and even lose yourself. Just because you truly love someone, so That’s exactly what I can’t accept.”
"I know--"
Jill subconsciously wanted to answer, but before she could finish her words, her mouth was half-opened and she could no longer speak.
There was no other reason than that she heard the words of the man in front of her that she had always wanted to hear him say to her in her dreams, but had never heard him say it himself.
"General, what did you just say? You - you really -"
Although this sentence was 12 years late.
But compared to the young boy 12 years ago, Malashenko, who is now in his forties and can face his true self and look directly into his heart, has grown up a lot.
From the moment he saw Gil again, Malashenko had already decided to make up for this sentence.
Although he is no longer young, this is still the best explanation for Jill today, bar none.
Thinking of this, Malashenko, who no longer had any hesitation, stood up on his own initiative, once again came to Gil, who was trembling slightly, leaned down and whispered softly.
"I mean I love you too, Jill. Just like the feeling in your heart, it's never forgotten."
