Chapter 268: Forced Conscription
Xia Shaoguang was stunned, is this agreed?
Nguyen Van hurriedly took Rasha's arm and motioned for him to follow General Dato out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
So, the four of them followed General Dato out of the tent and into the open space of the stronghold outside.
"How are you going to interview? Do you need to shoot something and what TV you want? General Dato said to Xia Shaoguang, General Dato's English is a little rusty, and some of the words he said need to be thought about.
Xia Shaoguang followed General Dato all the way into another big tent, and then said to General Dato: "General, we need to take some pictures to reflect the training of your army, and we may need your permission to walk around the base freely." ”
General Dato waved his hand, signaling Xia Shaoguang not to talk about this matter for the time being, and then walked to the table in the middle of the tent and looked at the map on the table.
At this time, two people came from the other side of the tent, standing respectfully aside, waiting for General Dato to give some instructions.
General Dato didn't go through the process at all, and asked directly in their local language: "What happened?" ”
General Dato didn't mean to look at the two men at all, but his eyes were looking for something on the map on the table, but he seemed to be looking at something without a goal at all.
"General," one of the two men saluted respectfully, then continued, "a civilian reconnaissance team we sent out earlier was just killed by a car explosion at a suspected U.S. military station. ”
The corners of General Dato's mouth twitched twice, and then he said with a gloomy face: "Did the Americans do it?" ”
"We can't be sure for the time being, we just suspect that there is an American military base nearby," the man said respectfully, "but this inexplicable car explosion is indeed the practice of the Americans." ”
General Dato punched the table, Xia Shaoguang jumped, and only heard General Dato scolding something, anyway, it was their local dialect, and Xia Shaoguang they couldn't understand it.
Then, I saw General Dato turn his head and say to Xia Shaoguang: "You also saw that we just had an explosion, and the Americans used their usual car bomb method to kill our scouts. ”
General Dato spoke very quickly, and it was obvious that he was quite angry at this time.
Xia Shaoguang nodded hurriedly, he had to cooperate with General Dato to gain enough trust.
Then, General Dato said to Xia Shaoguang: "Will you report this content?" ”
Xia Shaoguang nodded, showed the notebook in his hand, and said: "General, don't worry, we will definitely report this kind of inhumane thing in the public media, and when the time comes, the prestige of the Americans and government forces will definitely plummet." ”
General Darketo nodded in satisfaction, then turned back to the two men and said, "Where is the location?" I'm going to send troops to wipe out those Americans right away! ”
The man pointed out a point on the map and then didn't say anything.
General Dato's face immediately became even more gloomy when he saw this point, and General Dato knew very well that the location of this point was in the buffer zone of the war between their opposition forces and government forces, and whoever entered this range first would be equivalent to declaring war on the other side.
Having just ended a two-month war, the soldiers on General Dato's side were quite tired and could not confront the government army head-on with their current strength, so General Dato could not help but fall into a rather difficult situation.
And the problem is much more than that.
If it was really the American station, as General Dato had suspected, then things were even more complicated.
So, General Dato turned his head to look at Xia Shaoguang and the four of them, and said, "There is no military operation in our stronghold now, but the Americans are acting before us, if you want to shoot some useful TV, I can let you go here." As he spoke, General Dato pointed his finger at the dot on the map.
Xia Shaoguang could vaguely hear the Americans from their previous words, car bombs and the like, so if they were allowed to go here, Xia Shaoguang himself would not be willing.
However, is there still a choice for Xia Shaoguang at this time?
Xia Shaoguang pretended that he hadn't heard anything clearly just now, and asked, "Honorable general, you said that this is the territory of the Americans?" ”
"Yes, this is American territory." General Dato said with great conviction.
"However, I remember that both the U.S. government and the Iraqi government said that they would not let the Americans step into Iraq again, so how could it be the Americans?" Xia Shaoguang asked.
General Dato slammed his fist on the table, and then said angrily, "How many words of their officials are true?!" If you believe them, then the country doesn't have to be like this! ”
Xia Shaoguang nodded, echoed a few sentences, and then said, "Then what do we need to do?" ”
General Dato shook his head and said, "This is easy to do, I'll give you a car, and you can go here." As he spoke, General Dato pointed his finger at a point in Anbar province.
Xia Shaoguang looked at the point pointed out by General Dato on the map, his brows furrowed, although this point was not too far from where they were now, but it was really not an ordinary danger to let them drive through such a far military buffer area by themselves!
Xia Shaoguang shook his head lightly and said, "General, forgive us for not being able to do this. ”
"Why?" General Dato was a little angry and asked.
Xia Shaoguang said without humility or arrogance: "We are all just reporters, if we are allowed to pass through there, it is impossible for our equipment to protect us from passing smoothly, I take into account the personal safety of our reporters, so I can't agree to you this condition." ”
General Dato's facial muscles trembled, and he said, "Then you're not afraid that I will arrest you as a condition for holding the government hostage?" ”
"Now that we're here, we're ready to sacrifice for the Great Japanese Empire." Xia Shaoguang's brain immediately reacted, and when he said this, Ruan Wen and they all wanted to laugh.
General Dato sighed softly and said, "You are a brave journalist, what kind of equipment do you need to go there?" ”
Xia Shaoguang thought for a while and said, "Two guns, fifty rounds of ammunition." Xia Shaoguang stretched out his two hands, compared the two numbers, and said. (To be continued.) )
