Chapter 067, do everything
() Su Shan didn't seem to be very interested in Heiman's silent departure, watching Canglong meticulously deal with things for a few hours, but she didn't say a word
When Canglong broke free from the busy things, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and at this time, he found that he was a little hungry, and when he looked back, Su Shan was still standing behind, and there was no expression at all
"Let's go eat," Canglong said
Su Shan just nodded, and then followed Canglong out, and when Su Su came back after dealing with things, Canglong remembered that he had forgotten someone, so he asked, "Where did Wen Wen go?"
It seemed that he had known that Canglong would ask this, Su Su had already taken out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him: "This is what she asked me to hand over to you, she has already taken a plane back to Baghdad in the afternoon, but she asked me to tell you that she will return to China soon, hoping to see you in China."
Canglong opened the letter, but found that there was only one sentence in it, and after reading it, he sighed with emotion, put the letter away, and then took Su Shan to dinner
In the Great Mosque, Canglong has his own kitchen, but the dishes are basically halal, Su Shan sat opposite Canglong, when she saw the simple dinner on the table, her face showed a little surprise, but then disappeared again, the two ate in silence, and after dinner, Canglong sat on the top floor of the mosque and looked at the scenery
At this moment, Su Shan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "You are really a strange person"
"Strange," Canglong said with a smile, "What's so strange?"
"At least ninety percent of the people in Iraq worship you, but your subordinates don't respect you very much, but I can see that they don't respect you on the surface, but they actually approve of you in their hearts," Su Shan said with a smile, "I used to think that you would be a very rigid person, and your subordinates would definitely ban you."
Hearing this, Canglong smiled, looked into the distance and said: "True loyalty is not shouting slogans on the surface, nor swearing allegiance to you, but revealing their thoughts to you from the heart."
Su Shan didn't shake her head, but she didn't nod her head, she just continued: "Another thing that is strange about you is that as a prophet, you don't deal with religious affairs, but you actually deal with national affairs, which seems to be completely different from the image you give to the outside world."
"I don't have any religious beliefs, but I respect all religions," Canglong said calmly, "Maybe it's because I don't have faith that I can be more rational when dealing with certain things, and the most important thing for a leader is reason, and only reason can reflect fairness."
"Oh," Su Shan nodded faintly, "Are you ready to start a war against Afghanistan?"
After watching it for an afternoon, Su Shan felt that Canglong was indeed a strange person, and these religious people were either penances or socializing, but Canglong was not doing penance, nor socializing, but was just stuffy in the office to deal with things, so she felt that Canglong was strange, or Canglong was completely different from what she imagined
And the things that Canglong dealt with in an afternoon were indeed all about military affairs, and none of them involved politics and economics
"I don't like war, but there are some things that can be handled simply and rudely better and faster than a war of words with others," Canglong said calmly
"That's why you started the war, so have you ever thought about the people who will be affected by the war," Su Shan suddenly turned her head to look at Canglong
In the face of these eyes as clear as water, Canglong can't afford any cunning and concealment, Su Shan is such a person who doesn't feel danger and wants to reveal everything, this kind of temperament makes people want to get closer, but it will also make people fall into it, it is not a spell, just a temperament
Someone else might be asked, or they would directly reply that sometimes sacrifice is inevitable, but Canglong didn't choose either of the two, and just asked calmly: "Then do you think there is any other way?"
"I like your Chinese Taoist saying, "Do nothing, do nothing, and taste nothing," Su Shan said calmly, "Have you heard of it?"
"Do you want to tell me that if I don't do anything, this world will naturally have the law of his development, right" Canglong said with a smile, "Of course I have heard it, but I don't believe in this sentence, I also recognize that the world has a law of development, but this law is driven by people and other things in this world, inaction is not to teach people to do nothing, I may be the opposite of what you understand, inaction is just a manifestation of responsibility, everyone lives in this world has their own responsibility, and the process of completing this responsibility is to do everything"
"At this moment, I feel like you are a religious leader," Su Shan smiled and nodded, but she did not deny Canglong's point of view, nor did she affirm that the mood of the two people had reached a point where the possibility of influencing each other was already very small, "But I respect your statement."
"I said I don't believe in religion," Canglong said calmly, "but I am very interested in many religious classics, because I know that if I believe in a certain religion, I may be overwhelmed by other new things."
"God does not set any terms for mortals, in the eyes of God there is no religion at all, this statement is that religion is just human behavior, I appreciate your opinion, truly pure faith does not believe in anything, only in this way can you not be restricted by the rules and regulations set by those people, trap yourself in a cage, do not touch anything, religion is just the product of interests, but true faith is also the same belief in everything," Su Shan said slowly, but it did not make people feel any sense of resistance
Her tone was soft, and her temperament was humble like a wise man
"Believe in everything, believe in nothing", in this contradictory theory, Canglong is a little distressed, but what he is distressed about is not contradiction, but in reality, many things that are not contradictory have become contradictory, "This answer will be left to the future, let the future people interpret, I believe that in a certain era in the future, people can abandon the concept of those interests and believe in it from the heart."
"You've been ready for war for a long time," Su Shan asked again with a nod
"Yes, it's been prepared for a long time," Canglong said calmly, he didn't want to hide it from Su Shan, and he knew that even if he told Su Shan, she wouldn't leak it because she wasn't interested in these fights, and even said that she wasn't here to protect the Templar Assassins, which was clear from her attitude towards the killing of the Templars
"Then Baghdad is just a decoy," Susan guessed, "You killed the Templars just to fulfill your own plan, right?"
"Yes," Canglong nodded without hesitation
"Mario is such a pathetic fellow, maybe he was thinking that he was driving you into the abyss step by step according to his plan, but in fact he led himself to the abyss, pitiful," Su Shan shook her head, "If it had been a few years ago, I would have wanted to remind him, but now, I don't think it's necessary."
"Oh why," Canglong asked curiously
"Because you are too smart, much smarter than I imagined, it hurts to fight with you, not to mention that I am just a saint and a believer, and the interests have nothing to do with me," Su Shan said calmly
"You really won't leak secrets," Canglong asked with some curiosity, he also stared at Su Shan's eyes
"You're really going to keep your promise," Su Shan asked rhetorically
Canglong didn't answer, but laughed, Su Shan also didn't answer, both of them laughed, there is nothing absolute, sometimes you can only look at your own judgment, if it is the previous Canglong, he will definitely try his best to get rid of Su Shan, but now he does not have any such thoughts, even if his plan is seen by Su Shan, he is not worried that Su Shan will leak secrets, this is confidence
Su Shan is also not worried that Canglong will not keep her promise to detonate the war between the two religions, because she does not see any signs of fanatical believers in Canglong, on the contrary, Canglong gives her the feeling that she is always unfazed but has a firm purpose, but this firm purpose has absolutely nothing to do with world domination, nor does it have anything to do with the development of religion
"Have you ever been in love," Canglong suddenly asked, he didn't know why he still had time to talk to Su Shan here about such boring topics when the war was coming, but Su Shan gave him the feeling that he was more like a listener, he could tell Su Shan, a person who had met for less than two days, would not worry at all that she would say it
Hearing this, Su Shan's face immediately showed a trace of confusion, but it quickly disappeared again: "What is love, I think everyone has a different definition of love, I don't know which one you are talking about"
"Love between men and women," Canglong asked
"No," Su Shan shook her head, "what does this feel like?"
"It's very warm, it's exciting, it's surging, but sometimes I don't feel it," Canglong looked at the sky and said with a smile: "It's very contradictory, isn't it?"
Su Shan shook her head: "I don't know if I don't express any opinions on things I haven't experienced, but I think our conversation should end here."
"Hmm," Canglong was stunned for a moment, but nodded, "You should protect the person you want to protect, and I'm going to deal with what I'm going to deal with."
Su Shan nodded, and the two left the top floor one after another, and Su Su, who was standing in the distance, saw Canglong and the two finally finished chatting, and then said, "The Templar Assassin is here."
"Let Su Shan deal with it," Canglong said indifferently, "Is there anything else important?"
"The NATO military alliance has just issued a statement that it is absolutely illegal to use force against us on the grounds that we have broken into the war zone and killed the soldiers of the peacekeeping force, as well as zhèng fǔ," Su said
"Don't talk nonsense, pick up the important ones," Canglong interrupted, "I wonder when they are going to attack, what is the reaction of Russia and China, and what is the reaction of the Middle Eastern countries"
"The U.S. has already sent a note to the ambassadors of Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, and the U.S. Secretary of State will visit Israel next Monday," Su said, adding: "The NATO military alliance is not expected to send troops directly."
"They don't send troops directly" Canglong suddenly stopped, "Don't the Americans send troops directly?"
"I'm afraid not, I think it should be sent by several countries in the Middle East, and the exact time will have to be determined," Su said
"It's good to bring the Americans in," Canglong frowned, "It seems that the stimulation for them is not enough, let Simon go to Baghdad to look for trouble, and see which other country's peacekeeping troops are not open their eyes and shoot a few shots."
