Chapter 1610: Huge pressure

When Ye Chen returned to Hamid's base by helicopter, Hamid, who had received news of his return in advance, couldn't wait to come out to welcome him.

As soon as Ye Chen got off the plane, he couldn't wait to ask, "Brother! My scouts said that the drone saw the government army seems to have captured all the people from the Cataclysmic Front. What is going on?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "The government army has already turned against the Cataclysmic Front. Now all the soldiers of the Cataclysmic Front have been captured, and they have also agreed to a ceasefire with you. In the future, if there are no special circumstances, try to maintain a neutral stance where you don't interfere with each other."

Hamid was a little confused and asked, "Brother... how could they turn against the Cataclysmic Front? This... this is too sudden..."

Seeing that he was very shocked, Ye Chen told Hamid the whole story in detail.

After listening, Hamid was dumbfounded and blurted out, "Brother... after you left, I imagined countless possibilities, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen..."

Ye Chen smiled, "I didn't expect it either. My original thought was to go there, control Chen Zhonglei, and then force him to escort Su Shoudao and me away. But I didn't expect that when he saw the Cataclysmic Front's situation was exposed, he actually took the initiative to attack that Sayid, which just happened to give me a chance to catch them all in one net."

Hamid couldn't help but give Ye Chen a thumbs up and praised, "Brother Ye, you really used four ounces to move a thousand pounds!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but ask Ye Chen, "Brother, do you really want me to stop fighting with the government army?"

Ye Chen nodded and said firmly, "Of course you have to stop fighting. Don't think that your defense is strong and your strategic reserves are large. No matter how much you have, there will be a day when it runs out. Continuing to stalemate will definitely not do you any good."

Hamid said awkwardly, "Actually, it's not that I must fight them to the end, but I'm afraid that they are willing to stop fighting now just as a delaying tactic. What if they turn around and start targeting me again after they get free? What should I do?"

Ye Chen said seriously, "I asked you to stop fighting, but I didn't ask you to surrender. Once the ceasefire is in place, you can continue to expand your military equipment and continue to build your defense line. Moreover, after the ceasefire, they will definitely not surround you anymore, so you can restore the transportation of materials, and even hire more construction teams to help you build your base. In this way, your strength will become stronger and stronger. Even if they turn against you one day, you will have more initiative."

Hamid thought about it carefully and found that what Ye Chen said was indeed very reasonable.

No matter how powerful his strategic reserves are, the days of being tightly surrounded by enemies are always the most dangerous and difficult. Since the opponent will withdraw after the ceasefire, it gives him a chance to breathe. He must seize this opportunity to continue to improve his defense capabilities.

Therefore, he said excitedly, "Brother, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely go all out to build the base into an impregnable fortress!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, and then remembered something, so he asked Hamid, "By the way, Brother, I heard that the reason the Cataclysmic Front cooperated with the government army is because after clearing you out, they would be approved to build a mercenary base in Syria. I don't know if it's true or false?"

Hamid asked in surprise, "Brother, I only heard about this news last night. Where did you know it from?" ===== CHAPTER 1611 =====

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "No, I still have many things to do when I go back. Especially since the Qingming Festival, when we specifically pay respects to our ancestors in China, is coming up soon. I need to go back to pay respects to my parents, so I won't delay here any longer."

As he spoke, Ye Chen continued without any hesitation, "Besides, the conditions in this place of yours are too harsh. You have nothing here, not even a tourist attraction. There's no point in me staying here for two days, so I'd better head back."

Hamid chuckled and said, "My brother is right. My place really isn't very interesting, and the conditions are quite poor. But don't worry, after the ceasefire, I will immediately start a new round of infrastructure construction. By then, I will definitely dig out a few high-end guest rooms inside the mountain. When you come over next time, brother, I will definitely treat you well!"

Ye Chen agreed with a smile on the surface, but in his heart, he was secretly muttering that he really didn't want to come to this kind of dump ever again.

Three hours later, Hamid's scouts sent word that the government forces had already begun to retreat.

Most of the infantry had already left by vehicle one after another, and the original artillery and armored vehicles had also been withdrawn to the capital, leaving only a few soldiers to pack up tents, prefabricated houses, and other supplies.

At this time, Hamid's adjutant came to report that a helicopter was approaching the base.

Hamid knew that this must be Sayid coming to sign the ceasefire agreement, so he instructed his adjutant to bring him directly to his command post once he arrived.

Soon, several soldiers brought Sayid and Chen Zhonglei to the command post.

Upon seeing Ye Chen, the first thing Sayid did was bow respectfully and say, "Master Ye, I am truly sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "It's fine. How are things on your side?"

Sayid hurriedly said: "The vast majority of the Cataclysmic Front officers have confessed. We have already secured a large amount of evidence and are currently having news agencies edit it, which will be released to the whole world shortly."

As he spoke, he hurriedly took out a thick stack of A4 paper, handed it to Ye Chen, and said respectfully: "Master Ye, this is Chen Zhonglei's confession."

Ye Chen took the thick stack of paper but did not rush to open it immediately. Instead, he asked him: "Sayid, did you bring your ceasefire agreement?"

"I brought it!" Sayid hurriedly took out another document, handed one copy to Ye Chen and one to Hamid, and said: "This is our ceasefire agreement template. Commander Hamid can take a look first. Master Ye doesn't understand Arabic, so I will explain it to you verbally."

Ye Chen nodded and said casually: "Alright, go ahead."

Sayid hurriedly said: "First of all, I personally, as well as my leaders, are very grateful to Master Ye. You not only saved me but also saved our country."

Ye Chen waved his hand: "It was just a small favor."

Sayid said gratefully: "It is precisely because of our gratitude to you, Master Ye, that we have basically listed no requirements in this ceasefire agreement. As long as Commander Hamid also agrees to a ceasefire, both sides will immediately enter an indefinite ceasefire state. We will also explicitly prohibit our soldiers, weapons, and vehicles from entering within a thirty-kilometer radius of Commander Hamid's base. In the future, Commander Hamid can continue to develop and expand, and we will not interfere."

As he spoke, Sayid added: "Of course, while we respect Commander Hamid, we also hope that Commander Hamid will no longer take the initiative to launch attacks against us. If Commander Hamid can manage not to take action against us, then we will never launch a war against Commander Hamid. Both sides will develop peacefully and not commit aggression against each other!"

Ye Chen knew that it was impossible for these two completely different forces to achieve permanent peaceful coexistence. However, as long as the current situation of Hamid being surrounded could be lifted, it would make him much more relaxed and allow him more time and energy to improve his own strength.

This way, even if they fought again in the future, he would have more initiative.

So, he asked Hamid: "Commander Hamid, do you have any objections?"

Hamid naturally shook his head repeatedly and stated: "I have no objections!"

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Since neither of you has any objections, then it's settled. You two can sign it directly."

The two said in unison: "Good!"

While the two were preparing to sign the agreement, Ye Chen took the opportunity to flip through the transcript of Chen Zhonglei in his hand. At first, he didn't think there was anything strange, but he didn't expect that the more he read the content, the more shocked he became!
