When the eight Templar Assassins stealthily arrived at the Grand Mosque, they, like the Templars, were not besieged or discovered.

But when they arrived at the main hall of the Great Mosque, they saw only a man standing in the center of the main hall, with a blank face as if waiting for their arrival.

"Saints?" Little did the eight Templar Assassins expect that the man standing in the Great Mosque waiting for them would be the most powerful saint in Christianity.

Although they were surprised how the saint was here, they did not doubt the saint's faith, so several Templar Assassins even forgot the purpose of their visit and bowed in unison.

"Mario asked you to come?" Su Shan asked nonchalantly.

Several Templar Assassins nodded, and the lead one said, "We have received a notification from the Vatican that another Templar has been killed, and this is not only a provocation to Catholicism, but also to Jerusalem. ”

"So, you're here to assassinate the Prophet?" Su Shan asked calmly, but without waiting for them to answer, she said, "If so, you can go back, Jerusalem doesn't need to intervene in this matter, and there is no need for the Vatican to explain, just tell Mario that we will not provoke a senseless religious war." ”

"But," the faces of several Templar Assassins changed, and the leader said, "This prophet is too deceitful, we and the Vatican are one, and the Chinese say that the lips are cold and the teeth are dead, should we sit idly by?" ”

"It's not as scary as Mario said." Su Shan didn't care, "If you insist on assassinating the prophet, I won't stop you, but whether you can succeed or not, that's the question, don't think that I will avenge you, you have to wipe your ass for the dispute you are involved in." ”

Several Templar Assassins had a bad face, although the Vatican Pope had an order, and they also had a reason to come to Iraq to take revenge, but the saint's words poured cold water on their actions, and judging by her attitude, it was obvious that she did not support their actions this time.

In Jerusalem, where the saints are the largest, it is almost impossible for the Vatican's pope to command the saints, and although the Templar Assassins and the Saints are from the Vatican, their freedom is far from something that the Vatican can easily drive.

"By the way, if you can go back, tell Mario, don't play those tricks in front of me, I don't care who is behind him, he provokes me, I can't make him the Pope." Su Shan showed a rare hint of anger and turned to leave.

Seeing the saints leaving, several Templar Assassins glanced at each other and muttered a few words, but finally dismissed the idea of assassination and quickly left the Grand Mosque.

The next morning, Mario had just finished breakfast, and immediately received a letter from Jerusalem, at first he thought that the assassination had been successful, but when he opened the letter, his face immediately changed, in addition to saying that the assassination had not been carried out, there was also a warning from the saints.

"This ** raiser actually dares to sabotage my plan!" Mario wants to tear up the letter directly, and his plan fails again.

However, this time he was not very worried about being sanctioned by the Senate, after all, his plan was half the success, although the assassination failed, but the bombing of the Japanese peacekeepers' camp had already given the United States a reason to launch a war against Iraq.

And now high-ranking US officials are secretly visiting various countries, mainly NATO countries, including some pro-American forces in the Middle East.

This is the prelude to launching a war, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Americans will find enough reasons to launch any war, whether it is the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, or the wars against Afghanistan and Iraq, almost all NATO countries will be pulled.

But now it is different, since the United States launched the Libyan war, this leading big brother has taken a back seat, because he is no longer a one-man response.

In particular, in dealing with the new Iraq and the Prophet Army supported by the Russians, the United States must personally visit various countries, make the stakes clear, and even go so far as to ask for help, but they may not necessarily agree, because after all, the combat effectiveness of the Prophet Army is obvious to all.

This force is different from Saddam's Republican Guard, and it is also different from the **** of the first country, it is almost impossible to send troops directly, and the air force is dispatched to bomb, so there is a chance, but the new Iraqi air force is also different from the air force of Saddam's period, and the force of this air force is almost comparable to Israel, and almost all kinds of advanced Russian-made fighters are assembled in Iraq.

In recent years, the Russians have made crazy money, and the annual arms orders of the new Iraq exceed that of any of Russia's previous arms trading partners, and each order will exceed one billion US dollars, and there are even many large orders worth more than 10 billion US dollars.

The most important thing is that after the establishment of the new Iraq, the Prophet Army has already had its own production capacity for many weapons, such as their territorial defense force, from short-range land-attack missiles to air defense missiles that cover almost the entire Iraq, and many parts and components can be produced by Iraq itself.

If it is a landing operation, no one can predict what the final result will be, if it loses some people and weapons, it is good to really cripple the Prophet Army, but if the Prophet Army survives, then it will pull all the participating countries into the whirlpool of war, and then it is likely to trigger not the Iraq War, but a world war.

Under the current economic downturn, fighting such a war is very difficult for the NATO countries in Europe, and may even lead to the collapse of the entire country's system because of the war.

In the face of such a risky task, the Europeans are not stupid, although you are still a superpower, the United States obviously no longer has the huge advantage of the last century.

China's economy is catching up, its GDP is the second largest in the world, Russia and China are strategic partners, these two countries are united, the territory spans Asia and Europe, and the disputed area is in the Middle East, and the combined fleet of the Russians and Iraq almost controls the Persian Gulf.

With the addition of the Iranian Navy, the US Fifth Fleet is now a little overwhelmed in the Persian Gulf, and the war between the Iraqi Navy and Russia in the Black Sea shipbuilding is like a dumpling, and the combined fleet has almost become the country with the strongest combat power and the most advanced warships in Russia now, and just one aircraft carrier Peter the Great is enough to deter the entire Persian Gulf.

The only direct threat to Iraq may be Turkey, but it is well known that Turkey was almost powerless to fight back by the black generals of the Northeast Military Region of the Prophet's Army, and although there was no major clash between the two armies, Turkey did not fight first.

Saudi Arabia and Jordan are pro-American forces, but what is the combat effectiveness of the armies of these two countries, as we all know, Israel has become a military power, but it suffers from the fact that it has no border with Iraq, not to mention that there is a Syria that is containing Israel, and Syria is getting closer and closer to the new Iraq after being threatened by the United States.

In this case, just by dispatching the air force, the consequence may be to become the target of the Iraqi territorial air defense force, Nima's, which are the most advanced anti-aircraft missiles, and cover the whole of Iraq, almost becoming an iron net.

At the round table, all the elders had gloomy faces, although they controlled the lifeblood of the world's major powers, but the reason for starting such a war was very insufficient, and they also had to face the possible support of China behind it.

"It's all a useless thing like Long Yunhai, if it weren't for him, our plan would have been successful a long time ago, how could we face this embarrassing situation now." Mario is very angry, of course he has to shift the target, otherwise in the current situation, he may be sanctioned.

"You seem to have a lot of responsibility, too." At this moment, the third patriarch suddenly said.

"My responsibility is indeed great, but I have done my best, the saints have absolute freedom in Jerusalem, not to mention that Catholicism is only a sect of Christianity, Jerusalem is the real holy place." Mario explained.

"Don't we have any other way?" Elder No. 2 asked, looking at everyone.

"Unless there is a miracle, we want to start this war, it is simply impossible." Veteran No. 1 said that he knows more about the United States than the president of the United States, and although their senators can not care about the so-called public opinion, the US Congress must care, and it is inevitable that Europeans are not willing to follow the Americans, unless there is a reason why they must fight.

However, several elders know very well that as long as the left hand does not make mistakes, they will not find any opportunity to attack Iraq, and even can only allow Iraq to develop, so that they will completely lose control of the Middle East, once the Middle East falls into the hands of the new Iraq and the Russians, it will be a huge test for Europe and the United States, and may even make the United States lose its superpower status, and even NATO may collapse.

The existence of NATO is originally a combination of interests, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, why did the United States take a group of NATO brothers to fight wherever they wanted?

Because the United States is strong, but also because he is the only superpower, when there is no opponent, he must establish an opponent, and even in order to maintain his position, he must show off his strength to his allies and the world, but in fact, this is a sign of decline.

Once the United States is instigated in this matter, it will be when the sun sets in the United States of America, just like Great Britain, which claimed that the sun never sets.

China is the opponent that the United States wants to set up, but it is a pity that China has been making a lot of money in a muffled voice, you are doing yours, I am doing my own, and while you are doing my own, I still have to make some trouble for you, don't you want to set up an enemy? Okay, I'll personally support one for you.

The emergence of a new Iraq cannot be said to be supported by China or Russia, on the contrary, it is entirely the result of the sins of the Americans themselves.

Why? The answer is very simple, when you are strong, you wave your fists and beat people around, no one dares to fight back, it looks very beautiful, but you will always grow old one day, right? When you are old and unable to walk, then it is time for others to take revenge.

Therefore, China has not pursued a policy of hegemony, nor has it pursued a policy of alliances, for the simple reason that if you do not set up any enemies, no one knows what will happen in the future, and when you are strong, you will help others, and when others are strong, you will definitely help you, but it will definitely not put you to death.
