CHAPTER VIII. THE NAME OF PAUL
Everyone was talking about the flight from Hong Kong to Kabul in the cabin, and of course the content was the previous horror incident.
A bomb horror not only did not make people feel terrified, but everyone looked excited. After thousands of years of hardship and war, humans have already developed amazing calmness.
When Xie Kai appeared under the guidance of the flight attendant, there was no need to make an agreement, and warm applause immediately sounded in the cabin. Even though Xie Kai had always been rough and thick in skin, he was still flattered by such special encounters.
Fortunately, the kind people did not siege him like gossip reporters. His first class cabin was at the front, only a few steps away from the cabin door, and soon arrived at his seat.
The next seat was a fat fat man in his thirties, wearing small glasses, but very tall and strong. He had a newest book called "Star Weekly" on his legs. He probably bought it at the airport. He nodded friendlyly when he saw him.
Thank you for your polite gift and put your luggage into your seat.
The fat man looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said in English: "I know you, you are the one who thanks, right?"
Xie Kai nodded and replied in English: "It's me." He pointed to the magazine on his leg: "Do you understand Chinese?" (If there is no special explanation in the following text, the dialogue with foreigners will be in English and will no longer be emphasized every time.)
The fat man shook his head honestly: "I don't understand, but I think that the articles you have written must be very good if you are capable. Maybe I can let my friends who understand Chinese take a look and introduce them to the United States."
Xie Kai said while wearing his seat belt: "Thank you, it's all fabricated stories and may not be in line with your appetite."
The fat man smiled and said, "I don't think so. People like you must have many extraordinary stories. If I guess correctly, you must have served in the Chinese team. As the author, I think you will write these into the article."
Xie Kai showed a surprised look.
The fat man smiled proudly and sincerely, and stretched out his big hand at the right time: "My name is Paul, Paul Balder, maybe you have heard my name."
The surprise in Xie Kai's eyes changed to surprise.
Paul Baldor has a great background and is a world-renowned war correspondent. He served in the famous 101st Airborne Division in his early years. He moved to various places with the US military and later became an anti-war peace figure. He reported extensively on the US military's prison abuse incident and became a thorn in the Pentagon's side. He was therefore on the list of special attention from the CIA and the FBI.
Xie Kai didn't expect to meet such a celebrity, so he held his hand and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Bald, I'm lucky to be lucky."
Paul smiled honestly and said, "Call me Paul. It seems that I'm right, we have similar experiences."
Xie Kai didn't want to talk about his experience and asked, "Where did Mr. Paul come to Hong Kong?"
Paul shrugged and said, "Because the FBI guys 'loved' me, if I knew I went to Afghanistan, I would stare at me like a fly, so I chose Hong Kong, which is far away, as the relay." Then Datou leaned over and said proudly: "I guess they must have been deceived by me."
Xie Kai laughed in his heart, thinking that it would be strange if the federal spies were so easy to be deceived by you, but he said, "I guess so, in our Chinese dialect, this is called "striking the east and the west," he said.
Paul was happy and said happily: "In fact, I have deceived them many times in this way, and I have even seen them panic after they couldn't find me."
Paul was obviously extremely naive and optimistic, Xie Kai was amused and laughed: "You are an American and have served in 101. Even if they don't like what you write, they won't do anything, right? As for hiding and seeking with them?"
Paul said seriously: "No, thank you, you will never know what a despicable villain like them will do. Last time in Libya, they stole all my information like thieves, I mean everything. And the CIA, they will get closer than your nose, and you know nothing."
Xie Kai thought to himself that you always report negative things. Which country can bear it? It is already very polite to steal them. He said sympathetically: "Then you should be more careful, and you can't let them succeed."
Paul fisted: "Of course, that's why I used my wisdom to fight them."
Xie Kai held back his laughter and nodded, asking, "What big news is there when you go to Afghanistan this time?"
Paul said mysteriously excitedly: "You will know, my friend, but not now, because I don't know either."
Such journalists always spend a lot of money to raise informants. Xie Kai nodded and didn't ask much sensible questions.
Paul said again: "Tell me, thank you, you already know a lot of me, and I don't know you at all. I guess you must have served in famous Chinese troops, such as the 38th Army or the 54th Army, right?"
Xie Kai waved his head and said, "No, it's just a very ordinary army like an unknown person. Don't talk about you, even in our country, no one is willing to mention it."
Paul could not believe it, and said with a smile: "Thank you, you are lying. I heard a lot of things about you at the airport. People like you will definitely not be an unknown person. Tell me and let me know what kind of army you are in."
Xie Kai said: "I can only tell you that I belong to the army like you, but I really can't say anything else. Our discipline is very strict. Even if we retire, we must continue to abide by it, otherwise they will pursue it. You don't want me to go to military court, right?"
Paul said quite understandingly: "Of course, I know that the discipline of the Chinese team is very strict. I have read your ideology with many rules and regulations. I still remember some of them, such as not using other people's tailors, not whistling at beautiful women, right?"
"Three major disciplines and eight points of attention" was understood as this, Xie Kai laughed and said, "I really told you right, you know a lot."
Paul was happy again, shook his huge body and said, "It's not surprising. My friend, reading is the greatest joy in my life. At any time, I will read everything around me."
Xie Kai pointed at the magazine on his leg and said, "Including things you can't understand."
Paul smiled happily, and Xie Kaiyi smiled with him.
The plane began to taxi and the two temporarily stopped talking.
Soon, accompanied by the rumbling whistling sound, a huge Boeing machine soared into the air, carrying the two men who had strange encounters, leaving the beautiful and dreamy Oriental Pearl and flying towards the war-torn mountain country.
The plane entered a flat flight state. Paul couldn't wait to untie the seat belt and asked again: "Thank you, you haven't said it yet. You look very young, why did you leave the army?"
Seeing that he came again, Xie Kai smiled bitterly and said, "Paul, I don't want to lie to you, so I really can't say it anymore."
Paul was in the mood, and there was no Keny: "Comeon! We are already friends, at least tell me in the way you can say it."
Xie Kai probably couldn't be willing to say anything, so he lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Then let me tell you, you were targeted by the FBI, and I was targeted by the CIA of your country and had to leave the army."
Paul opened his mouth in surprise: "No way? Will the noble side be at the mercy of shameless villains?"
Xie Kai said bitterly: "Of course not, but they will complain or complain, so I'm in trouble."
Paul said happily: "Then you must make them a big fool?"
Xie Kai shrugged and said, "It's almost done." He said, "Okay, I've already said a lot, I can't say anything more. I've never said so much to others. If you ask again, I can only stop talking to you."
Paul said generously: "No problem. Apart from these, I think we have many interesting topics to talk about, right?" He stretched out his big hand again: "I'm happy to know you, my dear."
Xie Kai said sincerely: "So too."
