Chapter 360: Begging for Food
Behind any war is money and food, and whoever has more potential economic resources is more likely to win the final victory in the war. Excerpt from "Currency Wars"
When the 115th Brigade of the Russian army came to the vicinity of the city of Aleppo, they set up a temporary camp, they did not approach the city, and when Hassan was suspicious of them, they were also suspicious of Hassan. At this time, it is very taboo to rush into the city.
This brigade does not seem to be fully staffed, although it is a brigade, but the number of people is only in the early thousands, but even these people, after setting up the barracks, it is a very spectacular landscape.
The calm did not last long, and after a while, a military jeep, surrounded by two light armored vehicles, drove towards the city of Aleppo.
Looking at the large and small tents along the way, and the people wearing chemical protective suits, the officer in the jeep raised the window and waved his hand in disgust.
The jeep was at full speed, kicking up a sky full of dust, making the people around him hurriedly dodge aside.
Their destination was the government building, where the car survived, and the Russian officer, escorted by a group of soldiers, entered the government building.
After just five minutes, the officer walked out with an angry face on his face, and sat down in the car and walked out of the city.
In the hall of the government, Hassan glared out the window at the departing jeep, and a slight anger flashed in his eyes.
The Russian troops rushing here did not come to aid Aleppo, but the airborne troops who had been trapped here before, preparing to evacuate here and heading for Damascus.
But where is there still military rations in Aleppo? In the cities where there has been no food for several days, there is only life-sustaining food, which was also taken by the 1st Division at the risk of its own life. If you give some to the Russians, then millions of your own people will starve.
"Let's contact the 1st Division and return to Aleppo immediately!" Hassan said to the herald, knowing that the last thing he wanted to see was about to happen, that the enemy could beat him and drive him out, but what about the allies? An ally with absolute unequal strength, if he didn't get it right, it would only be a disaster.
The officer was driven away by himself, Hassan did not think that this was the end, he knew the truth that the defeated army was not as good as Kou, and a group of hungry defeated soldiers was sometimes far more crazy than a group of hungry wolves.
Sure enough, ten minutes after the jeep left the city, a large number of Russian troops drove into the city, and the mine-protected trucks almost formed a long queue and headed straight for the government building.
Detachments of Russian GIs, armed with rifles, gathered in rows and soon surrounded the government building.
The guards of the building also looked at the group of Russians with panicked expressions, they had never seen the Russian troops as their allies, and they showed such fangs to them, and they also pointed their guns at these Russians one by one.
In the first military vehicle, a middle-aged officer stepped out of the car, and it was obvious that his identity was much higher than that of the previous officer.
The Russian officer stood at the door, and one of the soldiers, in Arabic, said to the government guards with great arrogance: "Let your stewards come down!"
The guard didn't move, just now when this large number of convoys came, someone had already gone up to report, and now his task is only to stop them, even if it is unrealistic, he must resist it!
After a while, Hassan walked out surrounded by a group of people, he looked at the Russian officer, and smiled reluctantly: "Everyone has come from afar, if you don't say hello in advance, I can also enter some landlord friendship." ”
"General Hassan, we have come here to fight for peace in Syria, and you have taken away our people when we came to supply food and grass, do you want to make our soldiers hungry?" said the Russian officer.
Hassan still stood without anger, he tried his best to suppress his anger: "You want half a month's food and grass, how is this possible!"
It is indeed a bit too much to blow up the negotiating officer by himself, but this grain is too much.
"I see the people on your way, they shouldn't be your country's rescue team, right?" the officer sneered.
Hassan knew that the Russians were trying to make a fuss with the Hurricane Company's rescue team, and in this turbulent era, private alliances can sometimes be fatal.
"Those people are international organizations. Hassan said.
"International organizations, which international organization, the United Nations, or the Red Cross, I think they are all Chinese, right?" said the Russian officer, as if he had caught the grip.
"You don't need to know much about this, it is our freedom to accept the rescue team of which country, and you must not forget that we are also a sovereign country! ”
"Okay, good, we're not subordinate, and again, I'm here to ask for military rations, which was issued by your government. The officer pulled out his phone as he spoke, and a copy of the Entente was projected into the air.
Hassan did not look at the Entente, and he knew better than anyone else about the piece of paper, that Syria and Russia had assisted the Entente, and that he was present when it was signed. It clearly indicates that Russia provides military assistance to Syria, and Syria also has to provide the necessary logistical support for the Russian army fighting in Syria.
This agreement is very fair, so fair that there is no way to refute it, people will shed their blood for you, you can't never give no guarantee to others, but what is written is written after all, even if it is said well, the Tao is actually another matter.
So far in the Syrian civil war, it has been the government army that has thrown its heads, and the Russian troops have only been training on other lands, and as a senior military officer, he has clearly heard that there are such troops fighting with that force all the time.
As for weapons, the Russians' weapons are not cheap either, it's just that in the era of blockade by the NATO bloc, it was even a matter of love to sell them to you.
In the end, Hassan said: "For three days, we will provide you with food and grass for three days, and we have nearly a million people here, and their food is here!"
"Three days? three days is not enough. ”
"It's only three days, three days is enough for you to go from here to Damascus or to Iran and go home!" Hassan said.
He knew in his heart that now that the north and the south were already in jeopardy, the NATO bloc would soon be under the city, and if it weren't for the fact that the people of Aleppo couldn't be transferred, he would have left a long time ago.
"General Hassan, I really don't want to make those people outside your station public, and I heard that these people you invited also have weapons of mass destruction! Two F16s of the US military crashed some time ago, it should be the weapons they provided!"
Hassan frowned and said gloomily, "You investigate me?"
"Don't worry, Your Excellency General Hassan, I didn't investigate you, it's all just hearsay, and I know very well what kind of sin it is to make allies and buy arms privately, and I think the military tribunal must go. ”
As the two men spoke, there was chaos outside, and the Russians formed several teams to search the surrounding houses. Those who had just returned to their homes from the shelter watched in horror as the Russian soldiers had nothing to do.
