Chapter 470 of the main text volume, they can't take the rhinoceros away

Next chapter

Hearing Adnan say this, Zhao Yun, who has always been an old god, and Lyudmila, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, both frowned at the same time.

If it's for money, then it's still negotiable, but when it comes to religious issues, especially in places like the Middle East, any issue involving religion is a big issue, and there is basically no room for negotiation. Giving money rashly will not only fail to make the other party back down, but it may be counterproductive and make the other party feel that it is an insult to their faith.

What will happen if you insult the faith of a Middle Easterner? Just look at Basel on the plane. This is even stricter than digging people's ancestral graves in Huaxia.

"Boss, the soldiers in this platoon are all Luhr people, from the same tribe, and Merik of their tribe needs a lot of rhinoceros horn ground powder, religious ceremonies, and communication with their gods, so those two rhinos must be taken away." Adnan translated.

Su Ming was confused when he heard this, and Zhao Yun explained: "'Merik' is the leader of a clan, a clan with religious beliefs, and Merik is generally served by the eldest and most prestigious priest. The Luhr are an Iraqi minority, numbering less than 5,000 people, living in the mountains bordering the tripartite region of government forces, IS, and Kurds to the north, supporting government forces. Soldiers from such small tribes are only loyal to their own tribes, and the government does not have much control over them. Also, religious ceremonies are very sacred here and must not be desecrated. ”

Su Ming nodded, and asked Adnan to ask, "Do you need so many rhinoceros horns?" There are two rhinos, can't you take them away with a cut of horns? ”

Anyway, if he wants to be a rhinoceros, it is not a big problem to lose a truncated horn, it can still grow, and the other party does not want to eat rhinoceros beef.

Unexpectedly, the officer on the other side quickly shook his head again, and took out a crumpled text, Adnan looked at the text, turned his head to Su Ming and said helplessly: "They insist on taking away the two rhinoceros, and the government departments have already agreed, and they have approvals." ”

"Where's the money?" Su Ming finally came up with a killer idea, "As long as they can keep the rhinoceros, I can pay them a considerable amount of cash, of course, the rhino horns will be taken away by them." ”

Adnan had the audacity to translate again, and the officer was immediately furious, this time he didn't need to translate, and he knew that there was no play by looking at his expression.

"It's unreasonable! Wang Ba eats the scales and is iron-hearted! Su Ming was a little annoyed, didn't he eat eggs and even slaughtered the hens together, he agreed to give them rhinoceros horns, why do you have to do rhinoceros, it's just a tendon in your brain.

"The unreasonable person is you, they have the government approval, and it is legal to take the rhino!"

Lyudmila seemed to be happy to see Su Ming deflated, and seeing that Su Ming was depressed, she was in a good mood, turned into a 'charming female bear', and touched Su Ming's face, "Honey, it's a pity that you are a step late." ”

"Late fart!" Su Ming shook his hand, opened Lyudmila's hand, held the heavy machine gun in the car with one hand, and sneered.

Lyudmila was not angry, and looked at Su Ming with a smile to see how he could solve this problem.

Zhao Yun knew Su Ming, this kid Niu had a temper and dared to move, and hurriedly persuaded: "You calm down, Lyudmila is right, although the people in the zoo are not happy, but this group of soldiers is indeed legitimate, and the Iraqi government has offered many preferential conditions in order to obtain the support of various tribes, maybe these two rhinoceros are one of the conditions in exchange for the support of the Luer people." If you really make a fuss, the Chinese embassy and the Iraqi government will never be on your side, and you must not do stupid things. ”

"Don't worry, what stupid thing can I do." Su Ming waved his hand and said to Adnan: "Sue them, since there is an approval, of course we won't stop it, but I want to go with them and take one last look at these two rhinos, it's no problem." ”

The officer looked at the armed off-road vehicle suspiciously, and said a few words, Adnan translated: "He said yes, but he can only keep the pistol he has with him, and he must leave the off-road vehicle and rifle for fear that we will hurt the rhinoceros." ”

"Damn, I'm a bad guy!" Su Ming laughed, and jumped out of the car first, all over his body, only a Colt pistol was inserted in his waist, and a big military kettle was on his back, and there was nothing else.

"What the hell are you going to do? Does it make any sense to take a look at a rhino? Lyudmila also followed, and asked puzzled.

Su Ming smiled but said nothing.

Play religion with Lao Tzu, you can't die if you don't play!

So the group walked towards the Baghdad National Zoo, and the staff of the zoo were almost a squad of soldiers, holding them down with guns to lead the way.

Even though the other side approved it, the people at the Baghdad Zoo were reluctant to let the soldiers take the rhinoceros away. Su Ming can completely understand this mood, if someone forcibly takes away the animals in Yangchuan City Zoo, even if it is approved by the government, he will definitely be very sad, and he will fight with reason.

Su Ming and his party walked in the middle, followed by a squad of soldiers, and walked towards the interior of the park.

The Baghdad Zoo is much larger than the private zoos I visited in the afternoon, almost half of the Yangchuan Zoo, and the various animals you see along the way do not live in iron cages like private zoos, but have their own small areas. However, many areas are empty, deserted, and there are no animals in sight.

A large cement pond with a depression, about 100 square meters, half of the pool is mud, the other half is grass, and two large one-horned rhinoceros are lying motionless in the mud.

"I'm dripping, it's so big!" It was the first time for Nangong Huang to observe a real rhinoceros up close, and the visual impact was quite strong.

An adult one-horned rhinoceros weighs about two tons, what is this concept? A strong tiger is about two or three hundred kilograms, that is, five or six hundred catties, two tons.

Two thousand kilograms, a full four thousand catties, if the 'density' is the same, the volume is six or seven times that of an adult tiger.

Of course, it can't be simply converted, figuratively speaking, the height of the back of an adult tiger is about the same as Su Ming's navel, and the height of the back of an adult rhinoceros is about the same as the height of Su Ming's nose. The two rhinos lying in the mud looked like two elephants that were slightly smaller than one size.

"It's a pity." Zhao Yun couldn't help but shake his head.

A team of soldiers had prepared large iron cages and urged the zoo staff to drive the rhinoceros into the cages and take them away.

"Honey, take one last look at your Chinese rhinoceros." Lyudmila said, holding her arms.

"Who is your dear, don't mess around!" Su Ming glared, pointed to the rhinoceros below, and said with full certainty: "They can't take the rhinoceros away!" ”

Zhao Yun and Nangong Huang looked at Su Ming puzzled at the same time, while Lyudmila sneered with disdain and said, "There is a saying in Huaxia called a dead duck with a hard mouth, which is very suitable for you now." ”

Su Ming didn't bother to pay attention to her at all, pointed to the bottom and said, "Didn't you notice that these two rhinos are dead?" ”

Following the direction of Su Ming's finger, the two big one-horned rhinoceros not far below were always motionless, as if they were dead.

In the vast majority of Islans, dead things are unclean, and if the two rhinos were really dead, it would be impossible for this group of soldiers to perform religious ceremonies with any part of the dead rhinoceros, that would be blasphemy! (To be continued.) )
