Chapter Forty-Seven: Soldiers Descend on the City
After the contract was signed, Liu Handong paid the advance payment, Yongchang Industry and Trade organized the supply of goods, and Zhao Hui personally went to Jiangbei to order, and by the way, he helped the customer do something.
The First People's Hospital of Jiangbei City, Shui Qin and He Jian called a car to pick up Liu Xiaoyong and was discharged from the hospital.
He Jian took the basin, towels, urinals and other sundries, and Shui Cress helped Liu Xiaoyong into the elevator, and there was a fat man in the elevator who was very enthusiastic, helping them block the elevator door, and also helping the old man.
After arriving home, Liu Xiaoyong gasped and sat on his favorite rattan chair, suddenly felt that there was something in his pocket, and took out an envelope, which was stuffed with paper full of words, he picked up his reading glasses and looked at it twice, couldn't help but cry, and shouted: "Water cress." β
Shui Cress came out of the kitchen, shook the water in his hand and said, "Dad, what's the matter?" β
"Look at Dongdong's letter." Liu Xiaoyong's hands were shaking with excitement.
Watercress's breathing became rapid, and she wiped the water droplets on her body, took the letter and looked at it, and the tears fell down her eyes.
He Jian came when he heard the news, and he also had mixed feelings when he read the letter.
The letter was very simple, he didn't say much, mainly saying that he was still alive and had not betrayed the motherland, but because of some unspeakable reasons, he could not go home, and he would take his relatives out when the right opportunity came.
"Quick, go and sue SΓΉ Ma Ling." Liu Xiaoyong said.
Shui Cress said, "I'll call now." β
Liu Xiaoyong said: "What kind of phone call, go and show the letter to the child, but it hurts my granddaughter-in-law." β
Shuiqin didn't dare to delay, took the money and went straight to the high-speed rail station, bought the nearest ticket to the provincial capital, and arrived in Jinjiang three hours later.
Angry to angry, in the end, Ma Guoqing and Wang Yulan still let Ma Ling and the child go home to live, after all, they are their own grandsons, can it not hurt, it is already evening, Ma Ling was about to take over and drive a taxi, and suddenly Shui Qin came to the door and hurriedly invited her in.
"Kid, there's a letter, you see." Cress took out the letter and handed it over.
Ma Ling took the letter expressionlessly, read it at a glance, handed back the cress, went back to the house, and closed the door with a bang.
Shui Qin was stunned, what does this mean, what is the attitude, and suddenly she suddenly realized that her ruthless and unrighteous stupid son didn't mention Ma Ling in the letter at all, and they gave birth to a son for him, and he worked hard to support him, what do you mean, you kid is wandering outside, without saying a word, can it not hurt people's hearts.
Ma Guoqing and Wang Yulan's attitude is not very good, they hate Liu Handong very much, it doesn't matter if this thing is dead or alive, but they still maintain a polite attitude towards watercressy.
The cress was bored, so I had to say goodbye and take the night train back to Jiangbei.
Ma Ling didn't come out to see her off, and it took a long time before she came out of the house, her eyes were swollen, and she just cried with the child in the house.
Ma Guoqing said, "Ling'er, what do you think?" β
Ma Ling said stubbornly: "He is him, I am me, it has nothing to do with me whether he lives or dies." β
Ma Guoqing sighed and didn't say anything.
Ma Ling's words were ruthless, in fact, a big stone fell to the ground in her heart, she fed the child well, went to take over the shift and drove a taxi, and her partner wondered when she saw her: "Ma Ling, you won the lottery, so happy?" β
Ma Ling smiled but said nothing.
β¦β¦
In the western desert of Kolin, the rebel camp, under the accumulation of a large amount of funds, the camp was built as orderly as a US military base, with barbed wire, towers at the four corners, anti-aircraft machine guns, and anti-aircraft missiles on alert at any time.
The ordered armored vehicles had not yet arrived, but Barnes couldn't wait, he personally came by helicopter to urge Liu Handong to attack, and took advantage of Said's anxiety to overthrow the current regime and help Hammad ascend the throne.
"There is a saying in China that if he is sick, he will die, and now is the opportunity." Dressed in a khaki hunting suit and big sunglasses, Barnes swore that "when you succeed, you can retire and you won't have to do anything for the rest of your life, because you're going to be a billionaire." β
Liu Handong said: "Let's settle the account first, otherwise I don't know the bottom of my heart." β
Barnes said: "Friend, your IQ sometimes makes it difficult for me to understand, now you have the initiative, are you still afraid of losing money, Ahmed is a child, you are his friend, I am also your friend, he sits on the throne, the wealth of this country is at your disposal, believe me, your investment will be increased tenfold." β
Liu Handong was bewitched by him, and made up all kinds of scenes in his mind, Ahmad is a simple boy, not as insidious and cunning as Said, as long as he has a good sense of proportion, he can guarantee a share of the great power game.
"Okay, attack tomorrow." Liu Handong said.
Early the next morning, the camp sounded the horn, Liu Handong called a meeting of the commanders of the two brigades, and under the awning stood officers wearing Sansha camouflage uniforms, the uniforms they wore were all products of a garment factory in Zhejiang, China, of course, boots, belts, and hats were all there, and these quilts were still exported from stock ten years ago, cheap and of good quality, and they looked similar to the US troops during the Gulf War.
Colin's war is very small, and the tactical level of both sides is very low, so there is no need to make too detailed battle plans, the chief of staff of the rebel army is a former major of the Pakistani 6th Army, he messed up a battle plan, everyone looked at it carefully, nodded and said okay, just do it.
Another Arabic battle began, when the rebels attacked a government camp on the outskirts of Tajikati and began to fire about a kilometer apart, attacking with mortars and 1o7mm rockets.
The forward command was located behind an abandoned house, next to which the commanders' cars were parked, and the armored vehicles had not yet arrived, and they were all in civilian off-road vehicles, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, Land Cruiser, etc., lined up, like the parking lot of a high-class club.
The government's tanks were a big threat, but they did not dare to use the few tanks they had, and the pickup war of that year proved the flawed nature of the tanks, and they were completely unable to wield an advantage in the face of a large number of anti-tank weapons and highly mobile pickups.
The sound of gunfire was incessant, and government fighter jets finally appeared, but the pilots were afraid of portable anti-aircraft missiles and did not dare to fly low, and the air force had no precision-guided weapons, so it could only rely on bombs and machine guns, which had little lethality.
During the war, there was a dirt slope a few hundred meters away, and the ground was covered with a white cloth with the word "reporter" written on it, and a large group of Western and Al Jazeera reporters observed the scene here, setting up cameras, telephoto cameras, and antennas to broadcast the latest war situation in real time.
At night, under Liu Handong's strict orders, the rebels rushed forward by car and outflanked them from both flanks, and the soldiers were frightened one by one, and began to shoot frantically after a few hundred meters, pouring bullets, ready to turn around and flee for their lives at any time, but there was no movement in the base.
A few bold guys, risking their lives to drive near the base, now the gate is open, go in to see, rush out and shout in ecstasy: "They all ran away!" β
It turned out that the government forces had fled, leaving an empty camp.
The rebels won a big victory, capturing a camp, seizing more than a dozen tons of gasoline and ammunition, and several cars, and within minutes, netizens around the world knew about the victory.
Omi, Malin, was driving a night train, and international news came on the radio that the Kolin rebels had captured a base near Takikati today, and King Said of Kolin was said to have made a request for assistance from the international community......
In the back row, a pair of wild mandarin ducks from the nightclub hugged each other and said dissatisfiedly: "Turn on the radio quietly." β
Ma Ling silently turned off the radio.
β¦β¦
King Colin Palace, Said walked back and forth in the luxurious palace, his temples and heads were much whiter, he thought that he could easily grasp the situation of the country, and wander between the two levels of power, but people are not as good as heaven, the rebels have already arrived in the city, and the intelligence says that they are marching towards the airport, if the airport is lost, Takikati will be completely finished.
He was unwilling to fail, but he had to admit that failure was only a matter of time.
Prince Amir stood quietly at the gate, looking at his father.
Said stopped walking, looked at his son, and smiled calmly: "Amir, you go to rest, go to London tomorrow, take your mother and sister, you are already a man, you want to protect them." β
"Father, are we going to defeat?" Amir asked.
Said walked over and touched the head of his second son: "We have not been defeated, the war is a continuation of the government, the problems that the government can't solve, the war can be solved, the problems that the war can't solve, the politics can be solved." β
Amir nodded: "I see." β
"Do you really understand?" Said smiled kindly.
"Compromise and you can end the war." Amir hit the nail on the head.
Said was very pleased, although his son was young, he had great wisdom, and it was very simple to end the war, the rebels were just the spokesmen of a certain aspect, and what they wanted was not the regime, but interests, as long as they compromised, they could end the war, and before they were just unwilling to give in.
"Go to sleep." Said Said.
Amir nodded obediently and left.
Said's expression was restored, he clapped his hands and summoned the attendant in, saying, "Let him come in." β
After a while, Richard, who had been waiting for a long time. Mr. Thorpe walked in gracefully.
"Your Majesty, have you decided to end this unnecessary war?" "As Churchill said, this war is an unnecessary war. β
