As soon as he got off the plane, Su Su found Canglong and reported the situation in the past two days, it was obvious that Canglong's worries in Dubai did not happen, but there was another situation.

Su Su informed Canglong that the Baath Party envoy had arrived in Basra, because Canglong had not been there, so they could only delay time, but unfortunately even Su Su didn't know where Canglong went, and if it wasn't for the name of Canglong on the flight back from Dubai, Su Su probably wouldn't know that Canglong had returned.

"This envoy is very patient." In the car, Canglong said lightly, "Why didn't Vivien send him away?" ”

"What kind of patience, if it weren't for the sake of discussing the alliance, how could he be wasted here, the Baath Party has just won the battle, and now is the time to be high-spirited, and the attitude is full of arrogance." Su Su said unhappily, "You are not in Basra, we don't dare to make a decision on such an important matter, so General Badr is hanging out around Basra with this envoy these days, if you don't come back today, it is estimated that he will leave." ”

"Alliance?" Canglong looked strange, "What do you mean?" ”

"Vivien has inquired from the envoy that the Baath Party is ready to form an alliance with us, along with the Mahdi army that has been crippled in the north, and I don't know how." Su Su said.

"Oh." Canglong nodded, pondering.

Su Su looked at Tang Long, who was sullen on the side, with a strange expression: "What's wrong with you kid?" The head took you to Dubai, such a good thing, how did you come back wilted? ”

Tang Long glanced at him, glanced at Canglong, and finally lowered his head again, Su Su teased: "You kid won't be cheated by his head, right?" ”

Tang Long still didn't speak, Su Su looked at Canglong, Canglong was silent for a while, and said, "He killed someone yesterday, and he hasn't come back to his senses yet." ”

"I thought you were a **, the first time you were like this, isn't it just killing someone, you want to be a killer, and there will be more people to kill in the future." Su Su didn't care.

At this time, Tang Long had an angry face: "Why are you all so cold-blooded? ”

Canglong didn't care, but Su Su looked strange: "Aren't you going to be a killer?" Killers are all cold-blooded, how can they react so much? Do you still think that killers are all like in movies? ”

Tang Long didn't speak, obviously Su Su said it, smiled, Su Su said: "In the killer industry, either people kill you, or you kill people, but compared to us soldiers, killers are much freer, we must obey orders and kill people we don't want to kill, and killers can choose who to kill, and they don't need to obey orders." ”

"Can I choose not to kill?" Tang Long asked suddenly.

"Is it still a killer if you don't kill people?" Su Su asked rhetorically.

Tang Long stopped talking, and asked again, "Can I choose to kill only the bad guys?" ”

"Bad guys?" Su Su looked sarcastic, "You have also been in Iraq for a while, which of the civilians in Basra do you think is a bad person?" ”

"They're protecting their homes, so they're good people." Tang Long said, "Americans are the bad guys, they are the aggressors. ”

"Hahaha." Su Su smiled, "Do you really think those American GIs are bad guys?" You are very wrong, they came to Iraq just to obey orders, soldiers are like this, you can't choose, you can only obey, obey, obey, and your so-called good and bad distinction is impossible to apply to this, let go of the naivety in your head, if you go on like this, you will probably be killed before you become a killer. ”

Tang Long was silent again, obviously he was struggling at this time, for a person of Tang Long's age, it was just the time when his values were established, if it was in a calm environment, maybe there wouldn't be much trouble, but now he not only killed people, but also felt confused about his goals, killer, a profession he used to envy, but now he hates it very much.

"You always have to make a choice." Canglong suddenly spoke, "Don't wait until you don't have a choice to choose, it's too late then." ”

Then there was silence all the way in the car, Canglong and Su Su didn't say anything, they had already given a choice, as for how to choose, it was Tang Long's own business.

Back at the base, Badr immediately found Canglong: "Prophet, you are back. ”

"Basra hasn't gotten to the point where I can't do without it, has it?" Canglong asked calmly, "Gather everyone for a meeting." ”

"Why don't we meet the envoy first?" Badr suggested.

"Haven't you all seen it? The purpose of his coming is also determined, and it is the same whether he sees it or not. Canglong said calmly.

Badr didn't know what Canglong was thinking, but he still ordered to inform all the senior generals of the Prophet's Army, even Vivien was on the list.

A few hours later, everyone arrived, and Canglong said directly: "What do you think about the alliance?" ”

Hearing this, everyone was a little surprised, this seems to be the first time Canglong has asked everyone's opinion, most of the time in the past, Canglong was **, they were just carrying out orders.

"I think it's better not to align than to align." Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Xiami said, "After all, we are still in the name of asking for autonomy, although we have been working against the central government, but we still have a name, but once we form an alliance, this name will be gone, which is not conducive to our development, and the central government can completely include us in the scope of their attack at that time." ”

"I don't agree with you." Badr retorted, "Although we say to the central government that we want autonomy, but now the whole world knows that we are actually disobedient to the central government, and so far, the central government has made us exceptions to the rebels more than once. ”

"I think General Badr is right, everything is on track in Basra, and if we form an alliance, it will be a good opportunity for us, at least we can send troops to fight the security forces in the open, and we can even enter other identities, such as Muthanna Province, which is very weakly controlled by the security forces and the Baath Party, which is the second largest province in Iraq in terms of territory of 18 provinces, and can be used as a strategic buffer for us." Bai Wuchang opened his mouth and said, "Moreover, this time the Prophet Army has expanded its army, although it is said that the army has expanded to 20,000 people, but most of them are new recruits, and they are not at the same level as the security forces in terms of quality. ”

"I'm against it." Hei Wuchang suddenly spoke, this big black man who rarely spoke in normal times actually spoke, which made everyone present a little moved, but when everyone waited for him to continue, Hei Wuchang smiled and stopped talking.

"You have to have a reason for your objection, huh?" Bai Wuchang was very annoyed.

"There is no reason, opposition is opposition." Hei Wuchang said with a look of not wanting to explain.

"Your opinion is invalid." Bai Wuchang is very simple.

"You don't count." Hei Wuchang said with a smile.

This made Bai Wuchang very uncomfortable, and he had the urge to eat him by glaring at Hei Wuchang, and at this moment, the snow leopard said, "I am also against forming an alliance. ”

"Why are you against it?" Bai Wuchang looked strange, it stands to reason that the snow leopard should not object, because once the alliance is formed, the prophet army can participate in the war between the Baath Party and the central government in a bright and bright way, usually the snow leopard complains every day that there is no war, but now that the opportunity to fight has come, he actually opposes.

The snow leopard smiled and said: "The reason for my opposition is very simple, although fighting a war is the best opportunity to train troops, but who knows what the conditions for forming an alliance are?" Is it us? Or is it dominated by the Baath Party and the Mahdi Army, and who is the commander-in-chief? If you want to form an alliance, you have to be single-minded, if after the alliance, but behind the scenes, it is better not to align, so you must first figure out these before you can make a decision, but I think that the Baath Party is not reliable at all, they think they are orthodox, although now that the commander has changed, it is impossible to restore Saddam's rule, but who knows what they are thinking? ”

"I think so too." Shrimp nodded, "Although what General Badr and Lao Bai said makes sense, but from the emergence of the Prophet Army in Basra to the present, we have all survived the difficulties on our own, and if we let others intervene, I'm afraid"

"Everyone is trying to get rid of the Americans, how can you think like that?" General Badr said suddenly.

"They all have the same purpose, so why can't they form an alliance?" Bai Wuchang said, looking at Vivian, he knew that Vivian hadn't spoken yet, and here Vivian had the most power to speak, and her words were the most effective, "Minister Vivian, do you think we should form an alliance or?" ”

"You can do it yourself." No one expected that Vivien would look like she didn't care about herself.

"Then how can it be, you are the Minister of Administration, and you have to pay money from you to fight the war." Canglong suddenly said, "So your opinion is very important. ”

Vivien sneered, "When did a prophet respect people so much? ”

Everyone heard the sarcasm in her words, obviously the minister was still angry about Canglong's sudden disappearance, they were no longer surprised, it was not for nothing that the entire prophetic army dared to sarcastically mock Canglong in person, but she was the only one who dared to sarcastically mock Canglong again and again.

And Canglong has never cared, and this time is naturally no exception: "That is, I have always respected everyone's decisions, and I am not a ** person." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone almost didn't spit it out, especially Vivian, who said directly: "How can you be so thick-skinned, I don't have any opinion, but if you want to pay money from my government treasury to fight, there is no door." ”

Hearing this, Canglong smiled, and he seemed to be waiting for this sentence: "It's not that I don't support the alliance, as soon as the alliance is formed, there will be a war, but we don't have the money to fight, Minister Vivien is in charge of finance, she knows the current financial situation in Basra best, so we can only refuse their request, who makes us poor?" General Badr, you can help me entertain the envoy well, don't snub others, but please forgive us for the alliance. ”
