Chapter 2327 - 2303: The Devil’s Tail
Why did Gao Yang dare to attack Lavagani, why did he want to escalate the situation to attack Lavagani anyway? It’s because he knew that if Yarebin or Glewatov encountered such a matter, they would certainly choose the toughest approach.
That’s just the way Old Russian behaves, and the KGB exhibits this behavior even more. Never mind the audacity the KGB possessed during the heyday of the Former Soviet Union, when they were so reckless, even when Russia was so poor that they were desperate to pawn their pants, and could only live off their family heirlooms, they still displayed a defiant and aggressive demeanor.
As for the KGB, they really can’t compare to what they once were, way too much difference. But if the KGB were weak, and hesitant when encountering issues, then it wouldn’t be the KGB.
No matter how much loss Old Russian suffers because of this demeanor, they can’t change it.
After Lavagani unwisely chose to use tough measures to force Gao Yang, if he wasn’t suppressed first by giving him a beating, that would be abnormal. Without a second thought, beat him if that’s needed, kill him if that’s needed, start a fight immediately, that is the proper conduct of the KGB.
Therefore, Gao Yang had to fight him no matter what, and he thoroughly enjoyed the fight. Why not engage?
Lavagani finally uttered that KGB sentence. Gao Yang sighed, shaking his head, saying: "Here you go again, I said I’m not Russian, let alone KGB, I’m a tourist. But, do you want to file a complaint against me with the KGB?"
Lavagani clenched his teeth.
Gao Yang sighed: "I truly don’t understand, what were you thinking when you decided to threaten me?"
Lavagani’s expression showed resignation, he said gravely: "No matter what you say, there are some things I can’t compromise on, at most we both perish together."
Finally, Lavagani stopped questioning whether Gao Yang dared.
Gao Yang sighed, saying: "Alright, let’s speak openly, I came here with a mission as you clearly understand, if I can’t stay here, someone else will come, just like if I killed you, your side would immediately send someone to replace you."
Lavagani remained silent, for Gao Yang was speaking undeniable truth, it’s an undercover contest between two countries, both he and Gao Yang could be replaced at any moment.
Gao Yang, appearing sincere, whispered: "Why, was I dispatched here so secretly, it was actually to avoid your side’s perception, plus what we need doesn’t conflict with anything of yours, so, here I am."
Lavagani whispered: "What do you mean?"
"Your irrational and impulsive actions have pushed us both into trouble, and now I want to resolve this issue."
After frankly stating this, Gao Yang continued: "I don’t want to go back, for I came here aiming to achieve something, telling you isn’t a problem, and as for you, I don’t think you’d like to experience embarrassment, being called back home, reprimanded by superiors, enduring the sneers of colleagues, right?"
Lavagani’s expression fluctuated. Gao Yang spread his hands: "No need to guess, that’s surely the case, we’re all the same."
Lavagani sighed softly, saying: "Is there still room for redemption now?"
Gao Yang got closer to Lavagani, whispering: "Let me explain my purpose of being here, this was supposed to be highly confidential, but if I don’t explain, I would have to return, and so would you, and some things are only fine if those above remain unaware, right?"
Lavagani nodded slightly.
"The situation in Syria is tough; if Yemen stirs up some trouble to divert Saudi Arabia’s attention, well, things might become a bit better, and from what I know, you have been operating to oust Hadi and let the Houthis control Yemen. Speaking here makes it simple, we aren’t fighting you for Houthis Armed Forces’ control, it’s not needed nor possible to seize control anyway, isn’t it?"
Lavagani murmured: "Then what’s your purpose?"
"As I said, I’m responsible for action, not to cause trouble, but to enhance Houthis Armed Forces’ capabilities, how to say it..."
Gao Yang clapped his hands, speaking softly: "Brother, speaking frankly, don’t you think Houthis Armed Forces’ combat power is too weak? You might send some people to train the Houthis Armed Forces, but we believe it’s better to train them ourselves, and if it’s required, we can personally engage. Houthis Armed Forces getting defeated easily can’t trouble Saudi Arabia; a victorious and triumphant Houthis Armed Forces is what we both need."
Gao Yang gestured with his hand, saying: "I’ve been straightforward, our interests and directions are undoubtedly aligned, we just need to strengthen Houthis Armed Forces’ capabilities in the short term, any downside to you? You can even treat us like we don’t exist, when difficult battles arise, just let us in. Letting me take the risk while you earn the glory, would you refuse such an opportunity? You’d be truly foolish if you did, and I don’t believe you’re that stupid."
Lavagani frowned, saying: "It can’t be that simple, don’t try to deceive me, this is too... too..."
"Too good a bargain, right? Brother, consider what else could we do? Openly intervene? Or ask your official government to mediate? Relations between the two sides are good now, but some things are best done quietly, why bother complicating it? And undeniably, we’re much more capable."
Lavagani said coldly: "That’s not certain."
Gao Yang waved his hand, saying: "I won’t argue with you who’s more capable, it’s pointless; I just want to say, I came and won’t seek control over Houthis Armed Forces, you’ll keep an eye on me, so there’s no reason to doubt. I just need to train Houthis Armed Forces and take charge in crucial moments, that’s all."
Lavagani pondered again, Gao Yang sighed, saying: "I was supposed to arrive here highly confidentially and start working very secretly, that’s the requirement for me, but acting and those planning often differ, right? You tightly control Houthis Armed Forces, how could I keep confidentiality? So, brother, let’s cooperate."
Lavagani warily said: "How to cooperate?"
"Just treat today’s incident as if it never occurred, I don’t want people to know I came and immediately... uh, you get it, I believe you wouldn’t want people knowing what happened here, so act as if I’m not here, I’ll do what I need to do, if I step over the line, could you not notice it? You control here entirely, the Houthis Armed Forces might as well be under your control, are you worried you can’t handle me? Conversely, think, if you expel me, you can definitely do it, but it would only result in others being dispatched, and definitely more people, if you kill me, the consequences would be even more severe, wouldn’t you agree?"
Lavagani was silent for a moment, then he whispered: "We could cooperate once, but..."
Gao Yang immediately said: "Sorry, I really was too impulsive, how could I invite you into this room? I apologize to you, and I need to apologize publicly!"
