Chapter 064, I can't climb high
As soon as he got off the plane, Su Su found Canglong and reported the situation in the past two days, it is obvious that Canglong's worries in Dubai did not happen, but another situation appeared
Su Su informed that the envoy of the Canglong Baath Party had arrived in Basra, because Canglong had not been there, so they could only delay time, but unfortunately, even Su Su didn't know where Canglong went, if it wasn't for the name of Canglong on the flight back from Dubai, Su Su probably didn't know that Canglong had returned
"This envoy is very patient," Canglong said lightly, "why didn't Vivien send him away?"
"What kind of patience, if it weren't for the matter of discussing the alliance, how could he be wasted here, the Baath Party has just won the battle, and now is the time to be in high spirits, and his attitude is full of arrogance," Su Su said unhappily, "You are not in Basra, we don't dare to make decisions on such an important matter, so these days, General Badr is wandering around Basra with this envoy, if you don't come back today, it is estimated that he will have to leave"
"Alliance" Canglong looked strange, "What do you mean"
"Vivian, who she has learned from the envoy, is ready to form an alliance with us, along with the crippled Mahdi army in the north, I don't know what it will be," Su said
"Oh," Canglong nodded, pondering
Su Su looked at Tang Long, who was sullen on the side, with a strange expression: "What's wrong with you kid, why did such a good thing take you to Dubai?"
Tang Long glanced at him, glanced at Canglong, and finally lowered his head, Su Su teased: "You kid won't be pitted by his head, right?"
Tang Long still didn't speak, Su Su looked at Canglong, Canglong was silent for a while, and said, "He killed someone yesterday, and now he hasn't come back to his senses."
"I thought you were broken, didn't you kill someone the first time, if you want to be a killer, there will be more people to kill in the future," Su Su didn't care
At this time, Tang Long had an angry face: "Why are you all so cold-blooded?"
Canglong didn't think it was Su Su, and he looked strange: "Aren't you going to be a killer, killers are all cold-blooded, how can you react so much, do you still think that killers are like in the movie?"
Tang Long didn't speak, obviously Su Su said it, smiled, Su Su said: "The killer is either someone kills you, or you kill someone, but compared to us soldiers, the killer is much more important, we must obey the order to kill the person we don't want to kill, and the killer can choose who to kill without obeying the order."
"Can I choose not to kill," Tang Long suddenly asked
"If you don't kill someone, you can still call it a killer," Su Su asked rhetorically
Tang Long stopped talking and asked again: "Can I choose to kill only the bad guys?"
"Bad guy" Su Su sarcastically said, "You came to Iraq for a while, and you thought there were any bad people in Basra?"
"They are good people to protect their homeland," Tang Long said, "Americans are the bad people, they are invaders"
"Hahaha," Su Su smiled, "You really think those American GIs are bad people, you are very wrong, they came to Iraq just to obey orders, soldiers are like this, you can't choose, you can only obey, obey, obey, and your so-called good and bad distinction is impossible to apply to this, put down the naivety in your mind, if you go on like this, you will probably be killed before you become a killer."
Tang Long was silent again, obviously he was struggling at this time, for a person of Tang Long's age, it was just the time when his values were established, if it was in a calm environment, maybe there wouldn't be much trouble, but now he not only killed people, but also felt confused for his goal, and the profession of killer, which he once envied, now made him very annoying
"You have to make a choice," Canglong suddenly spoke, "Don't wait until there is no choice, when you choose, it will be too late"
Then there was silence all the way in the car, Canglong and Su Su didn't say much, they had already given a choice, as for how to choose, it was Tang Long's own business
Back at the base, Badr found Canglong for the first time: "Prophet, you are back"
"Basra hasn't reached the point where I can't do without it," Canglong asked calmly, "Gather everyone for a meeting"
"Or we will meet the envoy first," Badr suggested
"Haven't you all seen it, the purpose of his coming is also determined, and it's the same whether you see it or not," Canglong said calmly
Badr didn't know what Canglong was thinking, but he still ordered to inform all the senior generals of the Prophet Army, even Vivien was on the list
A few hours later, everyone arrived, and Canglong said directly: "What do you think about the alliance?"
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this, it seemed that this was the first time that Canglong had asked everyone's opinion, and most of the time before, Canglong was dú cái, and they were just carrying out orders
"I think it's better not to align than to form an alliance," Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Shrimp said, "After all, we are still in the name of asking for autonomy, although we have been fighting against zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ, but we still have a name, but once we form an alliance, this name will not exist, which will not be conducive to our development, and when the time comes, zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ can completely include us in the scope of their attack."
"I don't agree with you," Badr retorted, "Although we said to zhōng yāng that we were asking for autonomy, now the whole world knows that we are actually disobedient to zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ, and up to now, zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ has made us exceptions more than once, since the rebels are already rebels, what are they still hiding?"
"I think General Badr is right, everything is on track in Basra, and if an alliance is an opportunity, at least we can send troops to fight the security forces in the open, and we can even enter other capacities, such as Muthanna Province, which is the second largest province in Iraq and the second largest province in Iraq, which can be used as a strategic buffer," Bai Wuchang said. Moreover, although the Prophet Army has expanded to 20,000 troops, most of them are new recruits, and their quality is not the same level as the security forces.
"I'm against it," Hei Wuchang suddenly said, this big black man who rarely speaks in normal times actually opened his mouth, which made everyone present a little moved, but when everyone was waiting for him to continue, Hei Wuchang smiled and stopped talking
"You have to have a reason for objecting," Bai Wuchang was very annoyed
"If there is no reason to object, it is against," said Hei Wuchang with a look of not wanting to explain
"Your opinion is invalid" Bai Wuchang was very dry
"You said it doesn't count," Hei Wuchang said with a smile
This made Bai Wuchang very uncomfortable, staring at Hei Wuchang and having the urge to eat him, and at this moment, the snow leopard said: "I am also against the alliance"
"How can you object" Bai Wuchang looked strange, it stands to reason that the snow leopard should not be opposed, because once the alliance is formed, the prophet army can participate in the war between the Baath Party and the zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ in a bright and bright way
The snow leopard smiled "hehe" and said: " The reason for my opposition is very simple, although fighting a war is the best opportunity to train troops, but who knows what the conditions for an alliance are, whether it is mainly us, or whether it is based on the Baath Party and the Mahdi Army, who is the commander-in-chief, if you want to form an alliance, then you have to be single-minded, if you make small moves behind your back after the alliance, then it is better not to form an alliance, so you must first clarify these things before you can make a decision, but I think that the Baath Party is not reliable at all, they think they are orthodox, although now that the commander-in-chief has changed, it is impossible to restore Saddam's rule, but who knows what they are thinking."
"I think so too," Shrimp nodded, "Although what General Badr and Lao Bai said has a point, since the emergence of the Prophet Army in Basra, we have survived the difficulties on our own, and if we let others interfere, I'm afraid."
"Everyone is trying to get rid of the Americans, how can you think like that," General Badr said suddenly
"We all have the same purpose, why can't we form an alliance," Bai Wuchang said, looking at Vivian, he knew that Vivian hadn't spoken yet, and here Vivian had the most right to speak, and his words were the most effective, "Minister Vivian, do you think we should form an alliance or"
"You guys take care of it yourself," no one expected Vivien to look like she didn't care about herself
"Then how can it be, but you are the Minister of Administration, and if you want to fight, you have to pay money from you," Canglong said suddenly, "so your opinion is very important"
Vivien sneered: "When did the prophet respect people so much"
Everyone heard the sarcasm in her words, obviously the minister was still angry about Canglong's sudden disappearance, they were no longer surprised, the entire prophet army dared to sarcastically mock Canglong to his face, but she was the only one who dared to sarcastically mock Canglong again and again
And Canglong never cared, and this time was no exception: "That's a decision that I have always respected everyone, and I'm not a dú cái."
As soon as he said this, everyone almost didn't spit it out, especially Vivian said directly: "How can you be so thick-skinned, I don't have any opinion, but you don't want to spend money from my treasury to fight."
Hearing this, Canglong smiled, and he seemed to be waiting for this sentence: "It's not that I don't support the alliance, as soon as the alliance is formed, we will fight, but we don't have the money to fight, Minister Vivien is in charge of finance, she knows the financial situation of Basra best, so we can only refuse their request, who makes us poor, General Badr, you help me entertain the envoy well, don't neglect others, but the alliance matter, please forgive us, we can't afford it"
