(Bow and thank the "Personality Brother" for the support of the two monthly passes!)

When the Qian army bypassed the Aykut Oasis and successfully connected with the US army, in the presidential palace in the capital Bardina, Majid, who was praised by Zhou Ming as the acting president, was pacing back and forth in his room in a boring manner. He looked up at the time, turned his head and asked the assistant to the president here: "Has Mr. Zhou Ming come back?" Have you contacted him, where is he now, and when can he come back?"

In the face of Majid's series of questions, the presidential aide said that "the baby is stressed", because this is the twentieth time that Majid has asked this question in this hour.

But even so, the presidential assistant still has to honestly answer the answer that he has answered twenty times: "Acting President, Mr. Zhou Ming is currently on his way back, we have been keeping in touch with him, and he will be back soon." ”

"Damn, why is he still thinking about going to some museum at this time? Isn't he worried about the battle in Basra at all? What the hell is he thinking?"

Majid scolded and scolded, but at this time, the assistant to the president told him a good news: "Acting President, I just received news that Mr. Zhou Ming has returned. ”

Majid's eyes lit up when he heard the news, and then he said to the president's assistant: "Quick, bring him to me immediately." ”

However, before the presidential assistant went out to convey the order, Majid changed his words again: "No, it is best for me to take the initiative to pick him up when I go to see Mr. Zhou Ming." ”

While speaking, Majid asked his assistant to take him out, and finally received Zhou Ming at the gate of the presidential palace.

"Acting President Majid, I don't know what happened to you looking for me in such a hurry? As far as I know, didn't the street fighting in Isla go very smoothly? Not only did it leave more than 400 corpses behind by the US troops at one time, but it also succeeded in frightening the US troops, causing the famous Desert Tiger Infantry Regiment to immediately retreat 20 kilometers.

Zhou Ming and Majid returned to the presidential palace and sat down, Zhou Ming asked Majid, from an emotional point of view, compared to Majid, who was in a hurry and a little overwhelmed, Zhou Ming's side was obviously much more relaxed.

Zhou Ming's questioning one after another undoubtedly made Majid feel a little embarrassed, Majid said: "There were no air raids, and the street fighting in Isla was also very successful, but now don't you say that there will be any tiger killing operations in the future?

"Attention is definitely needed, but it seems that it is useless for us to pay attention in a hurry now, right? Is it because of our attention or not that we can influence the development of the war ahead?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Of course it won't work, but we can't do nothing behind our backs, right?" Majid said.

"It's not like I'm doing nothing, I'm going to visit your museum today, I think the ancient civilization of the two river basins is very powerful, I heard that it was built on the site of the Hanging Gardens of ancient Babylon, right? But it's just a pity that with the beginning of the Age of Discovery, the establishment of colonies in various places, the world-famous Code of Hammurabi is not here. ”

Zhou Ming felt very sorry and said that Majid's eyes widened immediately when he heard Zhou Ming's words, he couldn't imagine how he had come to such a critical juncture, how could he still comment on the history of Babylon so leisurely?

Before Majid broke out, Zhou Ming said: "Of course I'm joking, in fact, if you really want to be serious, we don't have nothing to do here in Badina." ”

Majid breathed a sigh of relief, and he asked Zhou Ming: "I'll just say, in the face of such an important battle, how can we do nothing? So, Mr. Zhou Ming, what exactly should we do? Should we release the news of the previous disastrous defeat of Isla, first create a wave of momentum in international public opinion, and then demand the continuation of peace talks?"

Zhou Ming waved his hand and said: "Of course not, I'm trying to say that we should settle some accounts, for example, the arms I provided to you, you must know that the Saudi Arabian side has only given a part of it, I know that Iraq is also a big country with rich oil reserves, and your Hussein family, as the royal family of Iraq, must also have a lot of savings, right?"

Looking at Zhou Ming's outstretched hand after speaking, Majid was stunned, he looked at Zhou Ming in a daze, he didn't understand what Zhou Ming meant at all, or he couldn't keep up with Zhou Ming's thoughts at all, he didn't understand that he was not talking about the battle situation in Basra just now? Why are you reaching out again now to ask for money?

"Acting President Majid, don't look at me like that, I'm not saying this to slander you or anything, but I really don't have any money. Zhou Ming said, "Take the guided bullets that have made great contributions in the Isla street battle, I will buy 200,000 US dollars a round, and tens of thousands of bullets will be billions, and you also know the consumption of the war, there are no hundreds of thousands of rounds at all, not to mention that this is a war." ”

Zhou Ming said this very cheekily, it is true that the cost of guided bullets is very high, and the cost of developing a single shot is indeed 200,000 US dollars, but before Zhou Ming came, he asked the Skunk Factory to carry out mass production, and under industrial output, even if it is a highly high-tech guided bullet, the price of a single shot has dropped to 40,000 US dollars a round.

This price is very affordable, but as a businessman rather than a charitable aid association, buying 40,000 US dollars and selling it for 40,000 US dollars must not be done, so Zhou Ming casually shouted a price of 200,000 yuan. After all, this thing is sold all over the world, isn't it all up to his mood to shout what price he wants? From channels to transportation, Zhou Ming feels that his price is still very conscientious.

In the end, Zhou Ming sighed and continued: "So I really can't help it, if I want to continue to ask for this kind of bullet, I have to pay for it myself." ”

"And the same is true of 107 rockets, although Huaxia's things are cheaper than those in the United States, but they can't withstand the consumption of the war, I can help you come back on credit with my own face, but the money always has to be given, isn't it?" Zhou Ming added.

Majid came back to his senses and said, "Okay, I know, I'll give you as much as you want, but you also know that the current situation in Iraq is very bad, maybe our funds will not be as much as you think." ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't have enough funds, this is also what I expected, and I can also show you a clear way to make money, but I don't know if you have opened an account on the US Futures Exchange?" Zhou Ming asked.

Majid was once again confused, he felt that his IQ was really insufficient, he couldn't understand that Zhou Ming was still talking about the cost of arms just now? Why did he mention the account of futures trading again? Could it be that he still had to speculate in futures while fighting in Basra?

Seeing that the other party didn't understand at all, Zhou Ming had no choice but to explain to him: "Now because Salm announced his surrender, the international crude oil futures market is generally optimistic about the oil situation, so the international crude oil futures price is falling, but if we win this battle, the market will start to worry again, and oil prices will continue to rise." In other words, if we go into the futures market now and buy crude oil futures, we can make a lot of money, and then you will have money to pay for arms, right?"

After Zhou Ming's explanation, Majid suddenly understood, but then there was one of the most fundamental problems that entangled him.

"But Mr. Zhou Ming, what you said means that this tiger killing operation will definitely succeed?" asked Majid stunned.

Zhou Ming nodded as he should: "Of course, this is a successful example on the Korean battlefield, and now it is just a copy of the year, and it will definitely be able to be taken by surprise, and I am very confident in our Chinese soldiers! So compared to this, let's talk about the issue of international crude oil futures prices, the success of the tiger killing operation will definitely shake the world, as long as there are funds, it can rise by 40 percentage points casually in a week." ”

"Mr. Zhou Ming, I now believe very much that you are a pure businessman, and even at such a time, you can think of using war to earn this money. Majid said.

Zhou Ming was not ashamed of this, but proudly said: "Of course, I didn't say that I am in other identities, but sometimes in order to fight against the guys who manipulate the market, I have to participate in some wars, because only by winning the war can I bring greater benefits to myself." ”

Zhou Ming also said: "In addition to the war of real swords and guns, the war of materials, the war of prices, and the war of currency, which of these can be simpler than the war you are facing? and even more tragic than the war you are facing to some extent." ”

……

When Zhou Ming was called into the presidential palace by Majid countless phone calls, outside the city of Awali, three American armored vehicles were galloping forward, and after a smooth inspection at the city gate, they drove into the camp and stopped at the designated place, and Major Ralph walked out of the car with Qian Jun.

"Captain, we have now arrived at Awali, I have already reported your situation to Brigadier General Harpy in the car just now, and he also said that you are here, and he wants to listen to your report as soon as possible, so you can go directly with me to find the general now. Ralph said to Qian Jun.

Qian Jun nodded at this, and waited for his own people to come down before following Ralph to the brigadier general's house.

Qian Jun followed Ralph step by step, and couldn't help but feel that his luck was really too good, because his original goal was Awali.

Awali was a military camp built in Kuwait and was originally intended as a forward supply station, but it became a prisoner of war camp because the war went so smoothly that the 200,000 Iraqi troops stationed in Kuwait surrendered on the spot. This is undoubtedly unruly, but now that Salm has announced his surrender, and all the Iraqi troops he encounters have no intention of fighting, what is there to be afraid of? Could it be that these prisoners can still turn the sky upside down?

It was with this in mind that more than 50,000 Iraqi prisoners of war were held here, guarded by Brigadier General Harpy and 20,000 men from the 1st Marine Armored Brigade of the Middle East Expeditionary Force.

It was also because of this information that Zhou Ming came up with a routine of a surprise attack on the White Tiger Regiment, and asked the Qian army to lead the team to sneak in here and wait for the opportunity to act, create chaos and cause a prisoner of war uprising as much as possible, and go north from Kuwait, cooperate with the Iraqi army that attacked Basra, and flank the Desert Tiger armored infantry regiment that retreated to Cubal with an absolute superiority of troops.

And the most important factor in the success of this plan is whether Qian Jun can successfully infiltrate Awali.

Originally, in Qian Jun's plan, he wanted to walk here on foot with his troops, or find a way to go to Gubarl first, and then use the information he had from Gubarr to see if there was a chance to get a car to come to Awali, but now he didn't think that he would meet the retreating Ralph on the way, and after some conversation, he took himself to Awali.

As he walked with Ralph, Qian Jun suddenly saw an area surrounded by barbed wire, and through the high barbed wire, Qian Jun seemed to see someone worshipping there, so Qian Jun asked him: "Major, are the Iraqi prisoners of war who are being held here?" I look like there are a lot of people, and it won't happen if we hold so many prisoners of war here?"

Ralph was dismissive of this, "What else can they do with those who will only surrender? ”

After saying that, Ralph laughed out loud at his own humor, and Qian Jun laughed along with him: "I hope so." ”
