Colonel Clement needed to digest the surprise that Mountain Eagle brought him...
When Mountain Eagle noticed Colonel Clement was a bit too excited, he proactively stepped aside with the excuse of making new tea, giving the Colonel some space.
To be honest, Mountain Eagle hadn't expected that the four aerial bombs intended to blow him up would ultimately bring him such a surprise.
For Mountain Eagle, compared to Colonel Lynch and his boss, Colonel Clement was undoubtedly a better partner...
He didn't intend to sell US Army weapons, nor did he plan to smuggle using the US Army's logistics system...
If it was just about establishing a foothold in Alaska and earning some pocket money to maintain the local network through some operations, the support of Colonel Clement would be sufficient.
