Chapter 067, do everything
Su Shan didn't seem to be very interested in Heiman's silent departure, watching Canglong meticulously handle things for several hours, but he didn't say a word.
When Canglong broke free from the busy things, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and at this time he found that he was a little hungry, and when he looked back, he saw that Su Shan was still standing behind without any expression.
"Let's go eat!" Canglong said.
Su Shan just nodded, and then followed Canglong out, and when Su Su came back after dealing with things, Canglong remembered that he had forgotten someone, so he asked, "Where did Wen Wen go?" ”
It seemed that he had long known that Canglong would ask such a question, Su Su had already taken out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him: "This is what she asked me to hand over to you, she has already taken a plane back to Baghdad in the afternoon, but she asked me to tell you that she will return to China soon, and I hope to see you in China." ”
Canglong opened the letter, but found that there was only one sentence in it, and after reading it, he sighed with emotion, put the letter away, and then took Su Shan to dinner.
Canglong has his own kitchen in the Great Mosque, but the dishes are basically halal, Su Shan sat opposite Canglong, when she saw the simple dinner on the table, her face showed a little surprise, but then disappeared, the two finished their dinner in silence, Canglong sat on the top floor of the mosque and looked at the scenery.
At this moment, Su Shan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "You are really a strange person. ”
"Strange?" Canglong smiled and said, "What's so strange. ”
"At least ninety percent of the people in Iraq worship you, but your subordinates don't respect you very much, but I can see that they don't respect you on the surface, but they actually approve of you in their hearts." Su Shan smiled and said, "I used to think that you would be a very rigid person, and your subordinates would definitely order and prohibit it." ”
Hearing this, Canglong smiled, looked into the distance and said: "True loyalty is not shouting slogans on the surface, nor swearing allegiance to you, but revealing their thoughts to you from the heart. ”
Su Shan didn't shake her head, but she didn't nod either, she just continued: "There is another thing strange about you, as a prophet, you don't deal with religious affairs, but actually deal with national affairs, which seems to be completely different from the image you give to the outside world. ”
"I don't have any religion, but I respect all religions." Canglong said calmly, "Maybe it's because I don't have faith that I can be more rational when dealing with certain things, and the most important thing for a leader is reason, and only reason can reflect fairness." ”
"Oh." Su Shan nodded lightly, "Are you ready to start a war against Afghanistan?" ”
After watching it for an afternoon, Su Shan felt that Canglong was indeed a strange person, and these religious people were either penances or socializing, but Canglong was not doing penance, nor socializing, but was just stuffy in the office to deal with things, so she felt that Canglong was strange, or that Canglong was completely different from what she imagined.
And the things that Canglong dealt with in an afternoon were indeed all about military affairs, and none of them involved politics and economics.
"I don't like war, but there are some things that are handled simply and rudely better and faster than a war of words with someone else!" Canglong said calmly.
"That's why you started the war? Have you ever thought about the people who will be affected by the war? Su Shan suddenly turned her head to look at Canglong.
In the face of these eyes as clear as water, Canglong can't afford any cunning and concealment, Su Shan is such a person who doesn't feel danger and wants to reveal everything, this kind of temperament makes people want to get closer, but it will also make people fall into it, it's not a spell, it's just a temperament.
If you were someone else, you might be asked, or you might answer directly that sometimes sacrifice is inevitable, but Canglong didn't choose either of these two, and just asked calmly: "Then do you think there is any other way?" ”
"I like a saying of your Chinese Taoism, there is nothing to do, it is for; Nothing, it's a thing; There is no taste, it is taste. Su Shan said calmly, "Have you heard of it?" ”
"You want to tell me that if I don't do anything, the world will naturally have the law of his development, right?" Canglong said with a smile, "Of course I have heard it, but I don't believe in this sentence, I also recognize that the world has a law of development, but this law is driven by people and other things in this world, inaction is not to teach people to do nothing, I may be the opposite of what you understand, inaction is just a manifestation of responsibility, everyone living in this world has their own responsibility, and the process of completing this responsibility is to do everything." ”
"It's just this moment that I feel like you're a religious leader." Su Shan smiled and nodded, but she did not deny Canglong's point of view, nor did she affirm it, the mood of the two people has reached a point where the possibility of influencing each other is already very small, "But I respect your statement." ”
"I said, I'm not religious." Canglong said calmly, "But I'm very interested in many religious classics, because I know that if I believe in a certain religion, it may make me die and unable to accept other new things. ”
"God has not set any terms and conditions for mortals, in the eyes of God, there is no such thing as religion at all, the generation of religion is just human behavior, I appreciate your opinion, truly pure faith, do not believe in anything, only in this way, can you not be restricted by the rules and regulations set by those people, trap yourself in a cage, do not touch anything, religion is only the product of interests, but true faith, also believe in everything" Su Shan said slowly, but did not make people feel any sense of resistance.
Her tone was soft, and her temperament was humble like that of a wise man.
"Believe in everything, believe nothing?" In this contradictory theory, Canglong is a little distressed, but what he is distressed about is not a contradiction, but in reality, many things that are not contradictory have become contradictory, "This answer will be left to the future, let the future people interpret it, I believe that in a certain era in the future, people can abandon the concept of those interests and believe in it from the heart." ”
"You've been ready for war for a long time?" Su Shan nodded and asked again.
"Yes, it was ready for a long time." Canglong calmly said that he didn't want to hide it from Su Shan, and he knew that even if he told Su Shan, she wouldn't leak it out, because she wasn't interested in these fights, and even said that the purpose of her coming here was not to protect those Templar Assassins, which was already clear from her attitude towards the killing of those Templars.
"So, Baghdad is just a decoy?" Susan guessed something, "You killed the Templars just to fulfill your own plan, right?" ”
"Yes." Canglong nodded without hesitation.
"Mario is such a pathetic fellow, maybe he thinks that he will drive you into the abyss step by step according to his plan, but in fact, he led himself to the abyss, pitiful, sad." Su Shan shook her head, "If it were me a few years ago, I would really want to remind him, but now, I don't think it's necessary." ”
"Oh, why?" Canglong asked strangely.
"Because you are too smart, much smarter than I imagined, and it hurts to fight with you, not to mention that I am just a saint, a believer, and my interests have nothing to do with me." Su Shan said calmly.
"You're really not going to leak secrets?" Canglong asked with some curiosity, he also stared at Su Shan's eyes.
"Are you really going to keep your promise?" Su Shan asked rhetorically.
Canglong didn't answer, but he smiled, Su Shan didn't answer either, both of them laughed, there are no absolutes, sometimes you can only look at your own judgment, if it was the previous Canglong, he would definitely try his best to get rid of Su Shan, but now he doesn't have any such thoughts, even if his plan is clear to Su Shan, he is not worried that Su Shan will leak secrets, this is confidence.
Su Shan is also not worried that Canglong will not keep her promise and detonate the war between the two religions, because she does not see any signs of fanatical believers in Canglong, on the contrary, Canglong gives her the feeling that she is always unfazed, but has a firm purpose, but this firm purpose has absolutely nothing to do with ruling the world, nor does it have anything to do with the development of religion.
"Have you ever been in love?" Canglong asked suddenly, he didn't know why he still had time to talk to Su Shan here about such a boring topic when the war was imminent, but Su Shan gave him the feeling that he was more like a listener, he could tell a lot of things that he couldn't say to others, all to Su Shan, a person who had met for less than two days, but he didn't worry about her saying it at all.
Hearing this, Su Shan's face immediately showed a trace of confusion, but it quickly disappeared again: "What is love?" I guess everyone has a different definition of love, I don't know which one you are talking about. ”
"Love between a man and a woman." Canglong asked.
"Nope." Su Shan shook her head, "How does this feel?" ”
"It's exciting, it's exciting, it's surging, but sometimes you don't feel it." Canglong looked at the sky and said with a smile: "It's very contradictory, isn't it?" ”
Su Shan shook her head: "I don't know, I don't have any opinions on things that I haven't experienced, but I think our conversation should end here." ”
"Hmm." Canglong was stunned for a moment, but nodded, "You should protect the people you want to protect, and I have to deal with the things I have to deal with." ”
Su Shan nodded, and the two left the top floor one after another, and Su Su, who was standing in the distance, saw that Canglong and the two had finally finished talking, and then said, "The Templar Assassin is here!" ”
"Let Susan take care of it." Canglong didn't care, "Is there anything else important?" ”
"The NATO military alliance has just issued a statement that it will absolutely use force against us on the grounds that we have broken into the war zone, killed Japanese peacekeepers, and the government is not lawful," Su Su read as he held the document.
"Don't talk nonsense, pick up the important ones." Canglong interrupted, "I wonder when they are going to attack, what is the reaction of Russia and China, and what about the countries of the Middle East." ”
"The U.S. has sent notes to the ambassadors of Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, and that the U.S. Secretary of State will visit Israel next Monday." Su Su said, "NATO military alliance is estimated not to send troops directly"
"They don't send troops directly???" Canglong suddenly froze, "Don't the Americans send troops directly?" ”
"I'm afraid not, I think it should be sent by several countries in the Middle East, and the exact time will have to be determined." Su Su said.
"It's good to bring the Americans in." Canglong frowned, "It seems that the stimulation for them is not enough, let Simon go to Baghdad to look for trouble, and see which country's peacekeeping troops do not open their eyes and shoot a few shots." ”
