"Oh! President Jeff, what delicious food is Afghanistan making? The aroma has filled the American camp. Let me taste it!"
"Sorry, we're entertaining honored guests from abroad today, so we can't dine with you. Another day, another day."
Just then, a long burst of coarse laughter came from outside.
"Hahaha! Honored guests? Foreigners still come to this godforsaken place called Afghanistan? All the more reason to let us meet them. You know Americans love making friends."
The commotion outside continued for a while.
Everyone present except Li Moxiao had their appetite spoiled.
The president, who had gone to deal with the American soldiers, was also being put in an awkward position by their antics.
"Soldiers!"
Afghan soldiers gathered around them, and the American soldiers glared.
"You dare lay hands on the great American army? Jenny!"
Over three hundred people also poured out of the olive-green American barracks behind them.
They were broad and powerfully built.
The two sides faced off, ready to fight at any moment.
Shen Jin sighed. "Bowen, what are they saying?"
Ding Bowen's English wasn't good, but he could understand everyday conversation. He had caught the gist and briefly translated for Shen Jin.
Kenny looked a little embarrassed. "They wouldn't dare do anything reckless. This isn't before the apocalypse anymore. They're just soldiers abandoned by the United States, with no reinforcements. The Afghans aren't afraid of them. Let's keep eating. Go on."
"Fuck your mother, Kenny! Get out here!"
The American soldier leading the group outside had clearly heard Kenny's words and became even more agitated.
Clearly, being called abandoned soldiers didn't sound pleasant.
"Who helped you establish your government back then? Without American soldiers, you'd just be a pack of stray dogs driven from your homes by the Taliban! The American military will come get us.
