Amir blinked his eyes, his long eyelashes like a girl, and he said: "I am the king, but not the ruler of this country, and the responsibility of leading the country should be entrusted to the prime minister and the parliament, and to the people, and if there is one thing that must be done, I will grant amnesty." ”

Said was silent for a while, his son's answer made him satisfied and worried, this world of the jungle is not an idealist's paradise, but aren't these thoughts of his son the result of his own words and deeds,......

In Beijing, in a building overgrown with ivy vines, military officers and experts on the Middle East issue were sitting in a precarious position discussing Colin's recent situation, and the ambassador to Colin sent a confidential telegram to report on Said's movements, and the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Staff convened this meeting under the leadership of the National Energy Strategy and Security Group to strive to make a decision that is most in line with China's interests in the shortest possible time.

Yao Guang was dressed in military uniform, attended the meeting as an observer, and took notes with a small notebook in his hand, but it was not his turn to speak at the meeting, and the experts expressed their opinions, and after some fierce debate, they decided that they should still vigorously support Said, and that they should not let their efforts in the early stage be in vain, let alone lose the positions they had so hard to occupy to the Americans.

After the meeting, Yao Guang drove to a hotel to have dinner with friends, and when he went to the bathroom during the banquet, he stuffed a note in the toilet tank, followed by the person who came in, took out the note, looked at it, tore it and flushed it into the toilet.

Ten minutes later, Richard Brown, who was lobbying Congress in Washington, D.C. Thorpe received information from China, and he immediately called a meeting of his partners.

In recent days, Thorpe and his friends have been in a hurry, the Justice Department has begun to investigate the Norman oil takeover, the Pentagon has also sent Navy carrier-based aircraft to bomb the so-called Colin terrorists to hold hearings, and what is even more worrying is that the stock price of Norman Oil has plummeted, and if the acquisition case is aborted, then the efforts of the past two years will be in vain.

"I can lobby for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and I can find a few generals for us to speak for us, but the key issue is Said." Thorpe pointed to King Colin on the projector and said, "This person is difficult to control, and according to the information I have, he is going to fall to the Chinese again this time, so I propose to take the final plan and ** elimination." ”

Several bigwigs nodded lightly, extremely cold.

The CIA's friends immediately began to arrange, they could use their own paramilitary forces to act without communicating with the military, and the plan to assassinate Said had already been prepared, and the inside line in the palace could inform Said's itinerary, route, and time at any time.

Said was about to inspect the troops, and his army had already arrived at the border and could cross the border at any time to attack the rebels, and this time the air force could not provide fire support, because the missile air strike the day before yesterday destroyed the Mountain Eagle attack plane parked on the runway, and the air force was paralyzed.

The convoy was ready, with more than a dozen Land Rover off-road vehicles, all painted in white and with the same license plate number, and Syed decided which one to ride in a minute before he got on the bus, in order to prevent an assassination.

As the convoy departed, the soldiers standing guard at the palace stood as straight as javelins and raised their hands in salute, although they did not know which car the king was in, or even whether the king was in the convoy, they were only saluting the royal flag planted in the front of the car.

The convoy galloped along the desert road, maintaining a speed of 150 kilometers, and the accompanying security personnel were loaded with guns and ready for battle.

Sitting in the fourth Land Rover, his eyes closed, his mind was not calm, he was thinking about what to do next, the Chinese are unreliable, the Americans are not reliable, if necessary, go to London next week, try to pull the British in and muddy the water.

A Predator drone flew over the convoy, far away from the command center of the CIA operations team in Saudi Arabia, and the operator controlled the flight of the drone, locked on to the fourth Land Rover, and waited for the launch order from the superior.

Inside the car, the attendant handed the phone to Said, saying it was Mr. Thorpe's.

Said answered, and the two sides chatted a few words, but in the end the king refused the other party's unreasonable demand.

"I think it's better to put this issue on hold for a few days and then discuss it." Said handed the phone back to the attendant, a disdainful smile on his lips, his actions had an effect, and Thorpe relented.

Thorpe, who made the last attempt, called the CIA's partners and said it was irretrievable.

At the Saudi base, the operator received an order to launch the missile.

The pylons under the wings of the Predator drone were released, and a Hellfire anti-tank missile roared out, flying to the convoy on the ground with a tongue of fire, accurately hitting the fourth Land Rover, and immediately blowing the car into pieces, and the air wave overturned the front and rear cars to the ground, the convoy braked sharply and stopped, and the attachés hurriedly took out the fire extinguisher to save people, but the flames soared into the sky, the wreckage was everywhere, and there was no rescue.

A cloud of black smoke rose from the desert, and the reconnaissance camera of the Predator drone captured the scene, turned around and flew away.

In the headquarters, a confirmation message was received from the front line, the target had been cleared, everyone stood up, high-fived and celebrated, turned off the phone, and went out for coffee.

When Said was killed, Amir was in the car at the end of the line, he wanted to save people, but he was pulled by death, he looked at the car in the fire and cried, life and death in an instant, yesterday was still teaching his father, so life and death in front of him.

With the death of the king, the plan to inspect the army was naturally terminated, and the attachés, fearing a second blow, hurried back to the palace with Prince Amir.

When the news came out, Colin was in chaos, the lord Shaoguo was suspicious, and everyone was thinking of a way out.

Within a few hours, the rebels in southern Iraq got the news that Said had been killed by a missile.

Liu Handong was shocked, because this was something he wanted to do, but could not do, and after a short panic, he made a decision to launch a counterattack.

At the same time, a Hercules transport plane landed at Taquikati International Airport, and more than a hundred white men came from the plane, who had come to Colin at the invitation of the Minister of Defense as operational personnel of the Defense Consulting Corporation, whose mission was to train the Colin special forces and police to defend against terrorist threats.

In fact, these people are mercenaries hired by Thorpe, and now it is impossible to expect the US military to intervene directly, and they cannot rely on the CIA for everything, and it is more reliable to do the key things themselves.

The mercenaries drove to the palace in their cars, but General Muhammad, who was guarding the palace, had not yet recovered from the bad news of the king's death, and his mind was not very clear, and he was furious when he heard the news, and ordered that no one should enter the palace.

As soon as Mohammed walked out of his office, he was confronted by a captain-officer with a blank face, drew his gun, and fired three shots in succession, and General Mohammed fell in a pool of blood, dead and dead.

The guards shot and killed the assassins, the generals from the Ministry of Defense took over the palace and let the mercenaries in, it was a sudden coup d'état, and when the citizens of Tajikati woke up, the king had changed again, not Prince Amir, the heir of Said, but the little prince of the eldest prince Fahd, Prince Mohammed, who was only ten years old this year.

Prince Amir is nowhere to be found and is said to have been killed.

The people of Korin have been numbed by the coup d'état, the wars have continued, water and electricity have been cut off, the standard of living has plummeted, many rich people have gone to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates with their possessions, and migrant workers have also left to work in other Middle Eastern countries to earn money.

The newly enthroned little prince, surrounded by ministers, went to the army base to inspect, he was still a child, he didn't understand anything, Colin's de facto ruler was the former Minister of Defense His Excellency Abbas, he was a civilian, Saeed's classmate when he was studying in London, has been obscure, acting as a behind-the-scenes hero, and now he is appointed as the prime minister of Colin's cabinet.

The inspection was very unsuccessful, there were a large number of deserters in the army, no one wanted to fight without knowing anything, and even if they stayed, their combat effectiveness was extremely poor, and they could not go to the battlefield according to their mental state.

Abbas was very worried, because Colin's treasury could no longer come up with money to fight, the two years of tossing were too fierce, the family foundation was exhausted, and even the royal family did not have much money, and without money, he could not pay military salaries, could not buy weapons, and could not achieve that there must be brave men under heavy rewards.

Fortunately, there is also Mr. Thorpe, who has a strong ability to raise funds and is a powerful social activist, who worked hard in New York and Washington, and finally raised tens of millions of dollars, which he immediately used to buy weapons, hire more soldiers, and join the Colin Civil War.

What makes Thorpe a headache is that the US government does not seem to want to put too much energy into Colin, the military returns to the Asia-Pacific region, confronts China head-on, and on the one hand, suppresses Russia in Europe, and on the Middle East side of the Middle East, Iraq alone is busy enough, where does it care about a small country.

They don't care, Thorpe can't help but care, he bet all his net worth on it, and raised hundreds of millions of dollars, all of which were invested in the bottomless pit of Colin, if he can't win, it will be difficult to turn over for the rest of his life.

At this time, Liu Handong didn't know that this war had become a private war between him and Thorpe, just dressed in the skin of Colin's civil war.

……

Colin's government and rebel forces are no longer Bedouin-majority, the fighting cadres have changed to white and yellow, and the scale and level of fighting have changed significantly, from pickup wars to missile wars.

Thorpe had a lot of money, and he developed a detailed battle plan, hiring retired former U.S. military commanders and noncommissioned officers, from colonels to sergeants, from tank pilots to helicopter pilots, from canteen chefs to Navy seals; He also pulled up a list to buy advanced fighter jets, M1 tanks, anti-tank missiles, etc. in the name of the Colin government, and he was ready to use absolute technological superiority to crush the rebels in the shortest possible time, because the longer the war dragged on, the more money was spent, and when it was spent to a critical point, this business would not be profitable.

The opponent of the resistance army has changed from a government army to a mercenary army with super combat effectiveness, and even a mercenary force composed of experienced former American troops with the highest tactical level in the world, the victory and defeat have been decided before the battle is fought, Liu Han is about to face a desperate situation, but he has another advantage, that is, time, Thorpe wants to achieve these goals, it will take at least three months.

But Liu Handong also has a fatal disadvantage, that is, he has no money.

The cost of fighting a war is like water, and six million dollars will not last long.

All the money that can be borrowed has been borrowed, and it is not enough to smash the pot and sell iron, Liu Handong is under great mental pressure, and gray hair has appeared on both temples, and just when he was at a loss, a call from the United States found him.

"Brother, I heard that you need funds, and I have some here." This is the voice of Shu Fan who has not been seen for a long time.
