Chapter 071, Return to China
The news brought by Wan Zeliang shocked Vivian very much, although Basra seems to be stable now, but in fact, many major matters must be decided by Canglong, once he leaves, I don't know what chaos will happen, so Canglong said this sentence in the General Headquarters, almost everyone objected.
Even the snow leopard and the shrimp had the same expression, although they knew very well that the order of the central government was unquestionable, but now was the critical moment, how could Canglong leave?
"Just tell them that the generals will not be subject to military orders abroad, not to mention, head, you are not a Chinese national, and the position of the president is just an acting, so there is no need to listen to orders from above." Shrimp opened his mouth and said, no one expected that he was the most likely to oppose him, but he didn't object, but gave him an idea.
Although the snow leopard was surprised, he also nodded: "I think so, if you leave here now, maybe something will happen, to be honest, we are really used to having you, at least we don't have to worry about big decisions." ”
As for Badr and the other Basra generals, they simply said bluntly: "Prophet, I don't think it's safe for you to go back now, what if they put you under house arrest there and force us to commit it?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, they didn't think about it, they just didn't say it, and Canglong is still the chairman of Oriental International after all, the acting president of Longteng International, there should be no such thing, unless the CIA gets evidence of Canglong's treason.
It's just that Canglong is a stateless person, how can he be charged with treason, it won't work.
Everyone fell silent, and Canglong suddenly said, "Vivian, what do you think? ”
Hearing this, Vivian looked at him seriously and said with a smile: "You have already made a decision in your heart, our opinion doesn't seem to matter much, what matters is that you leave, what will happen to Basra, if the Americans know, what actions will they take, and what actions will they take now that the Baath Party is eyeing us." ”
"Sure enough, you thought it through." Canglong smiled, unabashedly admitting Vivien's guess, in fact, he did have the answer in his heart, "I am indeed going to return to China, I have considered the problems that everyone said, but it is not the key"
"Could it be that what Minister Vivien said is the key?" Badr asked rhetorically, "I don't think so, nothing will happen if you don't leave." ”
"If you really think so, then I really have to leave." Canglong propped his chin and thought, "Actually, I have already guessed why the central government asked me to go back to report to work so urgently, we didn't do anything to harm the interests of the country, but if I refused the order, wouldn't it tell the central government that we have a ghost in our hearts?" ”
"Prophet, you have no nationality in the first place, China doesn't want you, we need you." Badr said with a serious face.
"This is not a question of position, but a question of future strategy, if we want to change the situation in Basra that is now embattled, we must draw together two big powers and unite with a series of forces in the Middle East, and now our relations with Russia are not very close, most of the countries in the Middle East are waiting and seeing, and in the long run, it will only become more and more unfavorable to us." Canglong said solemnly, "China's strategy is to join forces with Russia to resist the United States, but we need Russia and China to come to our aid at the same time, understand?" ”
Everyone nodded, but their faces were still worried.
"After I'm gone, I'll hand over the administration to Vivien, and the military to Badr, and if the Baath Party provokes, put up with it for the time being, as long as they don't set foot on our territory, we can't go to war with them, understand?" Canglong commanded.
"Yes, Prophet." Everyone spoke in unison.
After the meeting, Hei Wuchang found Canglong and wanted to go back with him, but Canglong refused, now Hei Wuchang is the commander of the Prophet Army's field division, and it doesn't seem appropriate to follow him around like before.
So when he went back this time, Canglong only brought one person, that is, Tang Long, which even Tang Long himself didn't expect, the moment he stepped on the plane, Tang Long thought it was his own illusion, and said in his heart, how could Teacher Cang be soft-hearted?
Although the civil aviation of Basra has been restored, there are very few countries that can fly, but the special landline of the president of Longteng International has been parked in Basra, which is also the most unique scenery of civil aviation in Basra.
Returning home with Canglong, there was also Wan Zeliang, the Iraqi head of the General Intelligence Bureau, the people he brought with him were all very capable, obviously all of them had received special training, and when the plane had not yet taken off, they didn't do anything to Canglong, but after taking off, the situation was a little wrong.
First of all, the flight attendants on the plane were all arrested, and then the contact with Basra was completely interrupted, seeing this scene, Tang Long was a little surprised, but Canglong looked at Wan Zeliang casually and said, "Is it necessary to do this?" ”
"Of course it's necessary." Wan Zeliang said with a smile, as if in response to Canglong, "This is for your safety, you are the president of Longteng International, if something happens, how can I explain it to the central government?" ”
"Oh." Canglong shook his head, "Then can you go out now?" I would like to have a few words with my students. ”
"Of course." Wan Zeliang nodded, "This is still your landline, we are only doing this for safety reasons, after all, I don't worry about other people, I will let you know when it arrives." ”
Canglong nodded, and after Wan Zeliang left, Tang Long said with a worried face: "What do they want to do?" Do I want to arrest you? ”
"Take a break, go back, and read honestly, this world is not as simple as you seem, and it is not what you want to do." Canglong squinted his eyes, not worried at all that the General Intelligence Bureau would replace everyone, if he really had a different heart, there was no need to return to China.
Tang Long swallowed his saliva and said in disbelief: "You really want me to return to China." ”
"You mean you want to stay, don't you?" Canglong closed his eyes and asked, "There are not so many choices for you in life, and I am already very merciful in many choices. ”
"Kindness?" Thinking back to the days when he came to Iraq, Tang Long really didn't think so, but he didn't dare to sarcastically mock Canglong, at least the excitement he had before he came to Iraq to be a killer.
Returning to Basra from Dubai, he thought about it for a long time, thinking that he was not suitable to be a killer, because he did not have the ruthlessness of a killer, and he could not judge as rationally as a killer, in Canglong's words, he was an animal swayed by emotions, he was still sullen a few days ago, I don't know when this kind of suffering is a head, I didn't expect that now Canglong is suddenly going to send him back.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little lost, looking at Teacher Cang who seemed to be asleep, he suddenly felt a little sympathy, he firmly believed that Teacher Cang was not as cold as he saw in Iraq, he had a fiery heart, but even he didn't want to admit it.
But it is precisely because of this that Tang Long sympathizes with him, a person with a fiery heart, but has become a ruthless killer, the conflict between these two extremes, in exchange for any person who is estimated to be tortured for two or three days and go crazy, but Teacher Cang is comfortable between the two, maybe on the outside he looks like he is elegant and free, awe-inspiring, but in fact
"Is your heart aching?" Tang Long asked suddenly, he didn't know why he suddenly asked such a question.
"Pain?" Canglong opened his eyes with doubts, "Pain is not something I can choose, if I can be like you, with so many choices, I am willing to pay ten times to cherish it." ”
"We always envy the happiness of others, but ignore the happiness around us, this is what you taught us." Tang Long said suddenly, "I didn't want to comfort you, but at this moment, I suddenly understood the feeling you had when you taught us this sentence." ”
"Don't hate me anymore?" Canglong asked.
"I hate, I hated it at some point." Tang Long nodded seriously, "Especially after soberly discovering that I killed a stranger." ”
"If you still hate me, why do you remember what I said?" Canglong asked rhetorically.
"I said it, just for a moment, but you also said it, you have no choice." Tang Long's face was solemn, "As your student, of course I need to understand you, even if the whole world thinks you are ruthless and think that you are an executioner who kills people without blinking, but I still believe that you have a burning heart." ”
Canglong was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Who is pretending to be so old to show it?" ”
"You didn't teach you yet?" Tang Long asked rhetorically.
"Okay, then tell me, do you still want to be a killer?" Canglong suddenly asked, "Actually, many people envy the lives of ordinary people, such as me." ”
Hearing this, Tang Long said almost without hesitation: "I think, even if you tell me that killers should be cold-blooded and ruthless, I think I can be a killer I want to be, as for how others will evaluate me in the future, that's someone else's business." ”
"No regrets?" Canglong asked again, "When you were in Beijing, you told me that you wanted to be a killer, and I thought you were ignorant, so I brought you to Iraq to let you see the life of a real killer, the so-called ignorant are not guilty, so I will take you back now, but now it is completely different, if you are making a choice, it means that you will have no choice in the future." ”
Tang Long thought about it calmly, and finally nodded: "I don't regret it, I said it, I can be a killer I want to be." ”
Canglong smiled sarcastically, but did not dissuade: "If you swear so much because of my relationship, then I can only say that you are stupid to the extreme, I am not your nanny, when you become a killer, you will either kill or be killed, choose one of the two, even if you are killed, I will not help you take revenge, because this is the rule." ”
"Although I don't like to kill, I want to kill people who I think are bad people, and maybe that's my future happiness." Tang Long said seriously.
Hearing this, Canglong took out a card from his body, which seemed to have been prepared and handed to him: "Take care of the aftermath after you go back." ”
In fact, what Canglong didn't tell Tang Long was that as his student, stepping into the killer world, he would be burdened with a lot of pressure heavier than ordinary killers, after all, Canglong had a lot of enemies, if Tang Long was still an ordinary person, his enemies would not dare to deal with him, because Canglong would retaliate, but if Tang Long became a killer If he was killed, Canglong would not be able to retaliate, this is the rule of the killer world.
Kill or be killed
