Chapter 277: Not Really Surrendering

Let me take you through this magnificent reversal?

With Zhou Ming's words, everyone at the scene was stunned, everyone looked at Zhou Ming with a confused expression, and even the surrounding air suddenly quieted down, and they couldn't figure out how Zhou Ming could say such a sentence.

"Mr. Zhou Ming from Huaxia, I hope you can still know what you are talking about, I would have followed my father and asked me to take the most elite guerrilla fighters of the Kurds to realize the dream of jihad and fight the Americans, but now Salm himself can't hold on and has chosen to surrender, why do we want to continue?" Leia looked directly at Zhou Ming and said, "The lives of our Kurdish fighters are not to be squandered at will!"

Ambassador Lin Hong also said: "I think what Comrade Leia said is very right, I know that Comrade Zhou Ming, you have planned a lot and paid a lot for this Gulf War, and you are very unwilling to fail, but now that Salm has announced his surrender, and it is he who has chosen to give up, what else can we do? The best policy is to evacuate as soon as possible before the US troops have completely entered." ”

"Princess Leia and Ambassador Lin Hong, I admit that what you said is very reasonable, but it is only in the sense of reason. Zhou Ming said, "First of all, I don't have any intention of squandering the lives of Kurdish fighters, and secondly, I am not unwilling to fail, but I have not completely failed at all." ”

Zhou Ming deliberately paused at this point before continuing: "I don't know if you listened carefully to Ambassador Lin Hong's words just now, Salm did not announce unconditional surrender, but announced his acceptance of UN Resolution 660 and withdrew his troops from Kuwait on the premise of guaranteeing his own interests, in short, this is a kind of surrender with conditions attached. ”

"Is there any difference between this kind of surrender? Leia asked puzzled, in her opinion, what unconditional surrender and surrender with conditions attached, isn't this all surrender?

For this question, there was no need for Zhou Ming to answer, Lin Hong said first: "I understand, Comrade Zhou Ming, what you mean is that Salm's announcement of surrender is not really about surrendering, but a delaying tactic, trying in vain to create an established fact when the frontal battlefield is already in a desperate situation." ”

Listening to Lin Hong's explanation, Leia still didn't understand and asked: "What kind of delaying tactics, what don't you really want to surrender?

In the face of Leia's question, Zhou Ming explained to her and asked her rhetorically: "If it were you, would you accept Salm's surrender with conditions attached? For example, he still asks to retain the occupation of Kuwait, or the interests of Kuwait, etc." ”

"Of course it's impossible to accept it! You Salm are all defeated, so why do you make conditions for us victors?" said Leia without hesitation.

Zhou Ming spread his hands at this time: "Therefore, it is naturally impossible for the Americans to accept it, let alone the purpose of this war they are waging is to restore the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Kuwait." So now that the Americans can't accept Salm's terms, what is the result?"

"As a result, the war continued, and Salm's surrender was tantamount to no announcement. Leia followed Zhou Ming's words and said.

Regarding Zhou Ming and Leia's words, Lin Hong seemed to suddenly remember something after hearing it, and then said: "That's right, if Zhou Ming analyzes it like this, then it is understandable that Salm ordered his missile forces to launch Scud missiles at Israel and Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries today. ”

"That's right, he did this just to prove to the world that he still has the power to fight back, but he didn't know that in fact, what he did was tantamount to telling the world that he had reached the end of his rope, otherwise a normal country would not launch missiles everywhere at will. Zhou Ming commented.

"In that case, what are you going to do next, Chinese people, do you want to enter Bardina right away?" asked Leia.

Zhou Ming thought about this and replied: "The current situation has decided that we have no time to enter the Bardina adjustment again, so Princess LΓ©a, you and your guerrillas must immediately go to the front line, deploy on the front line of Basra, and drag the US army to fight in every city in the streets, can you do it?"

"It's hard work, but as the most loyal servant of Allah, I have faith in my warriors. LΓ©a then asked, "What about you?"

"I'm going to Bardina, whether it's just a delaying tactic on Salm's side or I'm really afraid of surrendering, I have to figure it out, and even if necessary, I have to control him in order for this war to continue. Zhou Ming said.

After receiving Zhou Ming's order, Leia did not execute it immediately, but first looked Zhou Ming up and down several times and said, "Seriously, are you really just a businessman?"

For Leia's question, Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied: "I think I can still calculate, they all say that war is the continuation of politics, and politics is the continuation of the economy, so there is nothing wrong with saying that war is a continuation of the economy, that is, the Gulf War that we have personally experienced at the moment was provoked by the two major conglomerates of the United States, so since they can participate in the war, why can't I?"

Leia smiled: "I see, to be honest, before I met you, I thought that war was just a contradiction between two people, and those who were pleasing to the eye were good friends, and those who were not pleasing to the eye were enemies who could fight to the death, and I didn't know that there were so many complicated things in a war." ”

Leia lowered her head at the end and seemed to be a little shy and shy, and said, "I am very grateful to Allah for bringing you to me, I don't know what you think, but I ...... Really nice to meet you. ”

After saying the last sentence, Leia left with her Kurdish guerrillas, leaving Zhou Ming a little inexplicably still in place, but Lin Hong saw a clue and asked: "Comrade Zhou Ming, that Kurd princess can't be in love with you, right?"

"Probably not, because I didn't do anything to tease her, but from Mahad to Badina, she hated me, because I dragged the entire Kurdish into this Gulf War, especially on the side of Salm, which is absolutely weak, and I don't believe that I am so attractive. Zhou Ming said.

Lin Hong said to Zhou Ming with a smile: "Then you must not have heard an old saying from Saudi Arabia, love is like a storm in an oasis, and when it comes, it is violent and without warning." ”

Lin Hong's joke made Zhou Ming a little helpless, but thinking about it, it seemed that there was a little bit of truth.

In the end, Zhou Ming shook his head, and chose to put these things aside first, after all, they had more important things to do at the moment.

So Zhou Ming briefly cleaned up his mood and asked, "Ambassador Lin, how is the situation in Cardina now?"

Of course, Lin Hong understood what aspect of the situation Zhou Ming was asking, and he didn't have too much gossip, so he replied very clearly: "Very bad, Salm is already determined to surrender, and his cousin Majid, who is also the No. 2 person in Iraq, persuaded him to no avail, but was arrested by Salm's direct guards and locked up in a private prison next to the presidential palace." ”

"Damn, it looks like that airstrike scared the hell out of him. Zhou Ming said.

"I think that's it, so Comrade Zhou Ming, what are your plans next?" Lin Hong asked.

Zhou Ming thought about this for a moment and then said, "Ambassador Lin, do you know the exact location where Mr. Majid is being held? I think it is necessary for us to talk to him first. ”

However, Majid was the target of Salm's key detention, and if he rashly went to see Majid without permission, it would arouse Salm's unnecessary suspicions.

Originally, Lin Hong wanted to persuade Zhou Ming like this, but after seeing Zhou Ming's firm eyes, he didn't say anything, just kidding, this Mr. Zhou Ming even had to get back the situation that Iraqi President Salm had already announced his surrender to the world, and now he was just going to see Majid without permission, which was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket compared to what he had done before.

With this in mind, Lin Hong took Zhou Ming to the special prison in Salm, and arrived at the destination more than half an hour later.

This special prison in Salm is actually an underground warehouse, which was used to store food, but after Salm established a dictatorship through a coup d'Γ©tat, in order to fight his opposition and purge the ranks, this underground warehouse was converted into his special prison, which was specially used to detain those who opposed him or angered him.

The guards in this special prison were naturally very strict, but Lin Hong took Zhou Ming and them in smoothly through the special pass he forged. Speaking of this special pass, it is actually a coincidence, originally this pass was used by Lin Hong to escort Zhou Ming out of Iraq in order to avoid the situation from being at its most critical, but he didn't expect it to come in handy here.

Under the leadership of the prison guards, Zhou Ming and the others came to the cell where Majid was being held very smoothly.

It was a solitary cell with a gorgeous bed and sofa, a dedicated washroom and a TV, or rather a 'suite' than a 'cell'.

There is no doubt that this is the military guard knowing the identity of Majid, but they don't know what kind of conflict the two brothers Majid and Salm have, and because of Salm's orders, they have to arrange Majid here first, so that they can not only carry out Salm's orders, but also not offend Majid too much, and they are not worried about Majid's reckoning after he is restored to power, which can be regarded as a set of philosophy of life for small people.

"Hello Mr. Majid, it seems that our worries about you are unfounded, for you seem to be having a good time here, except that you have no freedom. ”

Through the small window for visitation, Zhou Ming teased Majid, and Majid immediately stood up when he heard Zhou Ming's voice, he ran to the small window in three or two steps, looked at Zhou Ming in surprise and said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, why are you here, is it the president that he has finally figured it out?" But I just watched TV, and he has already announced his surrender to the world through the media, what else can I do?"

Regarding Majid's entanglement, Zhou Ming smiled and said to him: "What you can see and hear in the cell is limited after all, if Mr. Majid you really want to know what happened, then wouldn't it be good for you to come out of the cell?"

"Come out, has the president figured out to let me go?" asked Majid, confused.

Zhou Ming asked meaningfully, "Why? Isn't it true that if Salm doesn't give an order, you can't get out of this cell?"

Seeing that Majid was still a little hesitant, Zhou Ming immediately said with a straight face: "Majid, do you know that you are a man, how can you be stopped from your freedom by a broken door? Or do you think you should do it in the way of Salm, bow your head and admit defeat to the Americans, and then be forced to accept those humiliating treaties, accept sanctions, and finally one day in the future, your entire family will be overthrown from the throne of power and become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats." ”

Zhou Ming's words hit Majid's heart like Huang Zhong Dalu, and finally he made a decision: "Okay, for the sake of my family and this country, I want to go out!"

Zhou Ming, who got the answer, smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Majid, you have made a correct decision, Zhang Lin Action." ”
