Chapter 024, you're so sinister
In the conference room, Canglong saw Assad again, and Badr followed him without saying a word, and Assad first made a face-to-face salute with Canglong, saying: "Allah bless you!" ”
"Allah willing!" Canglong replied lightly, after the politeness, the two parties sat down one after another, Canglong still asked the assistant to make tea, one person had a cup, but the others did not drink it, only Canglong took a sip and tasted it carefully.
Seeing that Canglong seemed to be waiting for something, Assad put down his chief's shelf and spoke: "I'm sorry for what happened last time!" ”
"Needless to say, apologize, tell me why you came." Canglong held the cup and played with it carefully.
Assad nodded, obviously Badr relayed everything that Canglong said to him two days ago, and now there is not much politeness, and he can directly negotiate a deal.
"I want you to help us rescue several other Shiite sheikhs!" Assad's face was solemn, "Because of the attack on the US military, the Sunni government army and the US army swept many of our villages, and they captured many people, even my daughter and daughter, who were getting married at the time!" ”
Canglong finally understood why Assad was in such a hurry, the front ones were just foreshadowing, and the daughter in the back was the most important.
"What are the Americans doing to arrest your daughter and force you to commit it?" At this moment, the snow leopard on the side asked curiously, "If they are getting married, what reason does the US military have to arrest you?" ”
Assad didn't want to recall that scene, so he didn't answer, Badr explained: "At that time, Miss Amira was having a wedding, and our Shiite armed men also attended the wedding, so they fired a few shots into the sky, but they didn't expect that the Americans were waiting outside for a long time, on the grounds that we were illegally possessing weapons and holding a terrorist organization rally, they wanted to arrest us, and then there was a conflict, and Amira's husband was killed on the spot, and Miss Amira and many Shiite sheikhs were arrested!" ”
"This is just banditry, huh?" The snow leopard couldn't believe it.
"What's the trouble of wanting to add sin?" Canglong didn't care, "When the Americans went to our oil field, didn't they do that, in the name of arresting terrorists, doing bandits, these things are more common in Iraq, so what I care about is that if I help you rescue your daughter, how should you repay me?" ”
Facing Canglong Chi. Bare. Bare. Assad didn't care, and replied eagerly: "We are willing to promise you to set up a new government in the south and fully support it, and we are willing to serve you as a prophet!" This is our biggest scale! ”
Canglong nodded with satisfaction and said, "There is one more!" ”
"What?" Assad wondered.
"I need my men to take over the Badr Brigade!" Canglong said calmly.
Badr's face changed, and even Chief Assad's face turned cold, but he was not in a hurry to refuse, he was struggling silently, and after a long time, he spoke: "You have to ask General Badr!" Besides, do your men really have what it takes over the Badr Brigade? ”
"You don't need to worry about this." Canglong looked at Badr and said, "General, it's time for you to make a choice!" ”
Badr was silent, the Badr Brigade is the only armed force of the Shiites, and it is also the root of their resistance, if it is handed over to Canglong, it is a self-unloading army, who knows if Canglong will really help Iraq rebuild in the future? What if he really just wants oil?
Full of questions at the same time, Badr had no choice, whenever he thought of Canglong's words, Badr was very desperate, and finally he could only nod heavily: "Yes!" The Badr Brigade can be loyal to you. ”
"That's fine." Canglong smiled with satisfaction, "However, my men are responsible for training the Badr Brigade, and the command is still in your hands, in addition, I need you to give an order now to make them loyal to the Prophet, in the future, this army will take guarding the Prophet as the first priority, and anyone who disobeys the Prophet's will will be killed, can it be done?" ”
Badr's face turned pale, originally Canglong gave him the right to command, which made him happy in his heart, but if he gave this order, even if he had command in the future, he would not be able to command the Badr brigade, but he could only nod helplessly: "I promise you, this order will be written into military regulations, and in their beliefs, except for Allah is the prophet, the second is me!" ”
"Okay." Canglong nodded with satisfaction, looking at the bitter faces of the two Canglong didn't care, because when he gave them a good face before, they played tricks behind their backs and almost killed him, and now he has to use this ruthless means to control them.
"When are you going to save my daughter?" Assad asked.
"Do you know where Miss Amira is being held?" Canglong asked.
"Kada Prison!" Assad said, taking out a map, "This is the location of the Qada prison, only a hundred kilometers from Zubayr, surrounded by desert, there is a police battalion guard of the security forces, the commander is a US lieutenant, here is the deployment map of the fire point!" ”
Hearing this, Canglong's face was expressionless, and the snow leopard standing behind him frowned, this Kada prison is also where Vivian is kept.
"How many U.S. troops are there?" Canglong asked.
"About twenty people." Badr said.
"I need accurate numbers!" Canglong emphasized.
"Twenty-three people, attached to the Airborne Division of the US Army." Badr repeated.
Canglong nodded, took the map and looked at it in detail, and soon he noticed that something was wrong, and then asked the snow leopard to take out a map, here is the location of the security forces in Basra province and the distribution map of the US military base, this prison is not far from Basra City, the capital of Basra province, about ten kilometers away.
However, there are two combat battalions of security forces, a police battalion, and a tank combat battalion in the city of Basra.
One combat battalion of the Iraqi security forces is about 1,500 people, and in addition to the two combat battalions in Basra, there are three combat battalions in Basra province, and the other is located near the bus port, Iraq's only outlet to the sea, about a few hundred kilometers away.
"Qatar Prison is only ten kilometers away from Basra, once the prison calls for help, two combat battalions and American troops will arrive in less than half an hour, or even faster, we will have less than ten people, plus the severity of them is only a dozen people, and the number of enemies is hundreds of times ours!" The snow leopard frowned, "And it's still a tough battle, how can this be fought?" Even if we stand and let us kill, we have to kill for half an hour, not to mention how can others let us kill while standing. ”
"What a nuisance!" Canglong also frowned, but Vivian was also in this prison, he really wanted to exchange Thomson for Vivian, but that would also be a huge risk, and he was afraid of exposing his identity, and he was not at ease with the people of the Badr Brigade to exchange him.
Both Badr and Assad looked at Canglong expectantly, and after a long time, Canglong finally spoke: "How many people are there in the Badr Brigade?" ”
"About 50,000 people!" Badr said directly.
"Fifty thousand?" The snow leopard looked surprised.
"The branch is in the four southern governorates, with the largest number in Basra province, with 20,000 people." Badr said.
"There are 20,000 people who you don't want to save yourself, and you still come to us?" The snow leopard looked strange.
Badr's face was embarrassed, but Canglong explained: "His 20,000 men are actually non-combatants, and I estimate that there are only 2,000 people who can really be used in Basra Province!" ”
Badr nodded awkwardly: "Actually, there are less than 2,000 people, all the four southern provinces are concentrated, and all the combatants can barely make up about 10,000, and most of them don't have weapons yet!" ”
"I'll you!" Snow Leopard was speechless and said sarcastically, "You can be a general in Iraq!" No wonder you don't go to death yourself. ”
"Gather all your people tomorrow, whatever you do, I need to see them." Canglong explained simply, "In addition, what you promised me, I also hope you will do it tomorrow, understand?" ”
"Yes." Badr nodded.
"So when exactly are we going to act?" Assad asked anxiously.
"This is a military secret, since I promised you, I will definitely save Miss Amira." Canglong said calmly, and then fell silent.
The two understood what Canglong meant, and after saluting, they said goodbye and left, and after the two left, the snow leopard looked surprised: "Are you crazy, even if you gather them all, can you still attack the prison?" This is not a war, it is a death! ”
"Who says we have to fight a tough battle?" Canglong smiled, "You are willing to fight, I am not willing yet!" ”
"And what do you want?" Snow Leopard asked, puzzled.
"Mountain people have their own tricks!" Canglong smiled but didn't explain.
"But what if it's dragging on, what if the Americans transfer Vivien?" The snow leopard worried.
"Let Su Su contact the U.S. commander by secret telegram, and tell them that we are going to exchange Thomson for Vivien, so that they can't be transferred? It must be emphasized that if they transfer Vivien, just wait for the world to see the video of Thomson's beheading. Canglong said calmly.
"You're so insidious!" The snow leopard gives a thumbs up.
At the same time, Assad and Badr left the branch of Longteng International with a heavy face, got rid of a few spies, and after changing a few cars, Badr said strangely: "Chief Assad, what if we promise him so, what if he loses his trust?" After all, he is a Chinese, although he is a friend of Ali Daiyi, but Ali Daii is not credible in the first place, and if it were not for the American invasion, we would not have come together with him at all. ”
Assad had a gloomy face, he thought for a long time, and said: "Since he is not our own person, then we will turn him into our own, and if he is not willing to become our own, then kill him before he can control us!" ”
"Turn him into one of his own? How do you become your own person? Badr wondered.
But Assad did not answer, but squinted his eyes as if he had gone to sleep
