Africa Chapter 7: The Shocking Changes in Cairo (5)
"What the hell is going on? You're calling us all here for an emergency meeting at such a late hour? In the conference room of the presidential palace, there was already a group of military and political bigwigs, and President Mubarak, who was sitting in the middle, had a serious face and asked the defense minister, "So late in the morning, he and others woke up to open the emergency meeting, and President Mubarak knew that something big must have happened."
Everyone present was silent, the air was full of invisible depression, many years of political career had trained these guys to fine, and they already felt that something was wrong, they were all waiting quietly, without speaking.
"After receiving an urgent military intelligence report, tonight, just now, an unknown group of armed men attacked the 6th Battalion of the 24th Independent Mechanized Brigade of our army. The 6th Battalion of the 24th Independent Mechanized Brigade had a fierce exchange of fire with this unidentified armed force in an unguarded situation, and our side suffered heavy casualties. After receiving a request for emergency support from the 6th Battalion of the 24th Independent Mechanized Brigade, the flying group rushed to the scene and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the unidentified armed bandits. For the sake of safety, so as not to cause greater casualties, the on-site commander ordered this group of unknown armed forces to be released from the barracks, and the armored company waiting outside to block it. After thinking about it, the minister added, "Maybe the battle is still going on. ”
The people who heard the news were stupid and sat in their seats for a long time without saying a word. The news was so shocking that everyone on the left was caught off guard, and everyone present finally lost the steadiness of Mount Tai collapsing in front of them on weekdays, and they talked about it one after another, discussing the impact of this incident on the country and the deep meaning of this event, and the possible causes of the incident.
However, even if they kill these elites in front of them, it is estimated that they will not think that the reason for all this is just because some inhuman people who want to gain a foothold in Africa want to steal some weapons and are discovered. If you know, I don't know how these guys who are indignant will feel, and I don't know if they will cry and laugh and give their weapons with both hands?
Seeing that the scene was a little chaotic, President Mubarak knocked lightly on the table in displeasure, and the room was so quiet that it could even be heard dropping a needle.
"I believe that all of you who are doing this are well aware of the serious implications of this matter," said President Mohammad Hosni Mubarak. "Can you tell me more about what you know, Mr. Minister?" ”
"Of course, there is no problem." The Elder of Defense nodded, pleased his voice, and carefully read everything he knew, not even the Colonel, who had been woken up from his sleep and scolded the news.
After listening carefully to the minister, President Mohammed Hosni Mubarak nodded lightly and glanced at the people who were waiting for him to speak, "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that you have already made your own judgment after listening to Minister Mohammed Saeed's speech on this attack. There is no doubt that this is a long-planned and inhumane massacre against us, the children of Allah, in particular. ”
"That's what we do."
"That's how I see it, too."
"We should take the necessary action to return the favor to them."
"I suggest that we retaliate immediately."
……
The excited crowd below began to express their opinions in a mess, but in general, it was the same meaning: resolutely not to suffer, and to come back with a fierce revenge!
"Ladies and gentlemen," President Mohammed Hosni Mubarak waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stop, "now we have no direct evidence that this heinous sneak attack was carried out by despicable Israelis, and this is not only a shame to the leaders of our countries, but also a shame to our 300,000 troops and all our national people, but also to all our Arab nations and all our Islamic brothers in the world!" This is a provocation to all peace-loving Islam! Therefore, we must take severe measures of retaliation. There are two things we should do now: on the one hand, we should urgently mobilize the army and prepare it for combat, and on the other hand, we should urgently meet with the Israeli ambassador to our country to make a strong protest against Israel's departure from our country. At the end of the speech, President Mubarak's emotions were a little uncontrollable, and his mouth frothed, "Egyptian blood will not be shed in vain!" The blood debt must be paid with the blood of the enemy! ”
"The blood debt must be repaid with the blood of the enemy!" Everyone waved their arms, their eyes were red, the green tendons on their necks were tense, and they shouted excitedly.
"Everyone, let's do what we should do and serve the country with practical actions!" President Mubarak concluded by saying.
