Chapter 490: I Asked to Speak to the President
Chapter 490 of the main text volume, I asked to speak with the president
Next chapter
There are more than a dozen members of the United Nations Observer Mission, but only three of them really have the weight to speak at this time. The representatives of the United States, China and Russia.
"China has always opposed all forms of terrorism and is willing to contribute our strength to counter-terrorism." The representative of Huaxia said with a blank face: "At present, a Chinese compatriot is probably trapped in the war area, and I hope that your government can take concrete action." We have authorized the combatants of the United Nations peacekeeping force to be deployed by your military. ”
The major general simply wants to strangle this guy who is neither yin nor yang!
You have contributed by sending hundreds of technicians into our oil field last night! In the name of helping Iraq to extract oil, it took away 52% of the shares of the oil fields!
As for Huaxia's strength in the UN peacekeeping forces? Hell, there's only one platoon, what is this enough person for? It is true that the Chinese troops can fight more than the Iraqi government army, but the number is too small, besides, this involves diplomatic issues, send them to the front line, and Iraq has to carry out all-round protection!
The reconnaissance aircraft has confirmed that the Luer settlement is occupied by IS, that is, the first Chinese who had an accident is likely to be still in the war zone and fall into the hands of IS.
Speaking of which, what Huaxia means is to force the Iraqi government to solve it by itself and send troops to save people!
"The U.S. government will never compromise with terrorists, and we will not give a penny of ransom!"
The representative of the United States looked indignant, slammed his fist on the table, and said to the Iraqi major general: "You can rest assured, I have submitted a report to the president, and Mr. President will do his best to persuade Congress to agree to send Iraqi troops again!" But before that, I hope you can do your best to rescue our journalists! ”
When the other delegates heard this, they almost couldn't help but laugh.
Who doesn't know how cumbersome the Yankees' set of procedures is, especially when it comes to sending troops, which require collective discussion by the Senate and House of Representatives, with more than two-thirds of them agreeing, from proposals, review, voting, and finally presidential approval...... Even if it is a qiē shun lì, it will take two or three months to say the least, plus the army preparations...... God, will the U.S. ** team be able to drive into Iraq in half a year?
Moreover, the anti-war situation in the United States is strict, and the government has long made up its mind not to directly send large-scale troops to the big mud pit of Iraq.
So, every time the representative of the United States says, 'Yes, I will ask Mr. President, to have a discussion in Congress,' everyone understands that what he really means is actually no!
The major general strained his face and looked at the Russian representative: "Needless to say, your country is also ready to stand by and watch?" ”
"General, I don't understand why I say that!" The face of the Russian representative was like a whiteboard in mahjong, expressionless, but the tone was tough: "Our president ordered yesterday that the Air Force, an airborne team, was flying to the place of the incident to search for Ms. Lyudmila, and of course, if conditions permit, the two American journalists would also be rescued." And our bombers and missiles are ready, as soon as the hostages are rescued, immediately cover the bombing of the mountains occupied by IS, isn't this help enough?! ”
"Enough!" The Iraqi major general yelled, and he didn't know whether to say that the help given by Russia was 'enough', or if he was angry by several delegates.
The other representatives of the Mission looked like they were not concerned. Germany, France, and Britain are being overwhelmed by Britain's decision to leave the European Union, and who has the time to take care of the mess in Iraq.
"Guys, the Russian airborne forces have entered the designated place and are engaged in a fierce battle with IS!" Another piece of news came.
"What?!" The expression of the Russian representative changed slightly, "Why did our airborne troops exchange fire with IS?" I'm going to talk to the Squad Commander! ”
……
The Russian 76th Airborne Division, which has written a chapter of victory and glory since its birth, is the most popular unit in Russia and is regarded as "the elite of the army and the pride of the nation"!
From the day he joined this ace unit, Captain Ivanov had already regarded the honor of a soldier as his life, and when Mr. President entrusted them with the task of rescuing his compatriots, Ivanov accepted it without hesitation, despite knowing the danger of this mission.
As a glorious soldier of the country, Ivanov is not afraid of death, or in other words, between the glorious battle for his country and the disgraceful life, he will not hesitate to choose the former.
But what he didn't expect was that this mission was fundamentally wrong from the beginning!
There was a discrepancy between the General Staff and the Iraqi government, and when they landed near the Luhr settlement, it was discovered that the entire settlement had been occupied by IS.
Not only the settlement, but also the nearby mountains are full of IS troops, and their team of airborne troops is like fools, and from the moment of parachuting, they have been locked by IS troops.
After landing, a fierce battle ensued, and after eliminating a dozen or so IS militants patrolling the vicinity, Ivanov's squad was completely exposed, and a large number of IS troops surrounded them from all sides.
Fight! Fight! Non-stop fighting! Worthy of being the most elite special airborne troops, Ivanov's squad fought their way out of the encirclement of IS, and attracted hundreds of combat troops of IS with the strength of one squad.
But still outnumbered, surrounded by IS on a small hillside.
"Captain, there are enemies on all sides! What are we going to do?! "An airborne soldier asked loudly!
Before the words fell, a rocket with a tail flame exploded ten meters away, and the airborne troops who were questioning were directly overturned by the air current.
"Get down!" One of his comrades roared and threw down Ivanov from behind.
Rubble and dirt rained down from the sky, Ivanov's ears were buzzing, and a hot current came from his face.
Ivanov turned his head and saw that shrapnel had made a huge gap in his comrade's neck, and blood was spurting out of the wound like a fountain.
"Damn it!" There was no time to grieve, and Ivanov yelled: "Vasily! How many more people do we have?! ”
Vasily, the communications soldier, did not respond, and Ivanov tugged at Vasily's arm...... With a sudden light in his hand, half of his bloody arm was pulled out of the makeshift trench, and Vasily's body had been blown away.
"Didi...... Call Commander Ivanov! In the palm of the operator's arm, he still held the communicator tightly.
"I'm Ivanov! I'm Ivanov! Ivanov's eyes cracked.
"Ivanov, this is the command, how are you doing!"
Ivanov looked up at the improvised positions...... In fact, there was no such thing as a position, the airborne troops were scattered in several naturally formed bunkers and fought separately.
"We are surrounded, we have suffered heavy losses, the brothers are almost gone! Damn, there is at least one battalion or more of IS militants nearby! Ivanov yelled.
"Ivanov, His Excellency the President orders you to abandon your mission and break through as much as possible!" The voice on the other end of the intercom paused, "If you can't break through, Your Excellency the President has authorized you to surrender!" ”
In the explosion, a shell fell into a bunker five meters away from him, and the airborne troops in the bunker exploded into a cloud of blood mist without snorting.
A look of determination appeared on Ivanov's face, "Sir, can I speak directly to His Excellency the President?" (To be continued.) )
