Chapter Ninety-Seven: Really?
After seeing the man's face, Zelda and Pete were excited at first, but then they each frowned and looked at Megan.
Because at first glance this man only looks like Malle Potuk, but if you look closely, you can see that this is not the guy at all. It's not just the difference in appearance, but especially the look in that look, which is not at all the sharp feeling of Malle Potuk.
"It's not him." Megan looked disappointed and threw away the man's hair, and clapped her hands in disgust before turning her head and saying, "Did you get the wrong person?" Why do you think he is? ”
"Their men have identified him." Zelda exchanged words with the Iraqis on the side and said, "And this person didn't deny it. The other person sent to confirm it had already confirmed that it was him. ”
Meghan turned to look at the man again and said, "Ask him what his name is." Why impersonate Marle Potuk. ”
Zelda immediately asked in Arabic. However, the man did not react, just kept his head down and remained silent. This made Zelda a little confused, and Meghan didn't seem to want to waste time here at all, so she turned her head to look at Izz and said, "Is there a way to get him to speak as soon as possible?" ”
Faiz glanced at Meghan and understood what he meant, and after saying a word to the prison man, one of the three prison chiefs looked at the prison guard, only to see two prison guards come to the man, pull the man up, and ask in Arabic.
I saw that this person still kept his head down and didn't say a word, and he didn't look ready to cooperate. So the two prison guards lost their patience suddenly, only to see that the prison guard who had just asked him suddenly punched this guy in the abdomen. I saw that this man snorted, bent down, and knelt directly on the ground.
The guards weren't ready to let him go, the guy standing behind him dragged him up, and before he could catch his breath, the guy standing in front of him punched him twice in the stomach.
These two punches directly knocked this guy in the legs and lost his strength, and he collapsed directly, completely relying on the strength of the prison guard behind him who pulled him up. The prison guard behind him obviously didn't want this guy to lean on him, but he took his hands back at once, causing the guy to collapse to the ground and start vomiting.
I saw a prison guard step on the man's back and continue to ask. And the man still didn't gnaw, just gasped for breath between vomiting, as if he hadn't heard the culture of the prison guards at all.
The prison guards seemed to have seen too many such diehards, and there were no emotional fluctuations, so they saw the two of them take a small step back, and then kicked this person one after another.
After kicking a few times, one of the other two people who were squatting suddenly shouted. Hearing the man's shout, Zelda immediately stopped the two prison guards who were beating up. Then Zelda looked at Meghan and said, "This man just said he was willing to cooperate." ”
Meghan immediately looked at the man: "Ask him who this person is?" Why is it considered to be Marle Potuk. ”
Zelda nodded and immediately asked, only to see that after the man said something, Zelda said: "He said because this person's real name is Malle Potuk." ”
Megan looked at the guy lying on the ground and said, "Really? How do they know it's not a fake name used by this guy? ”
After Zelda had translated, the crouching man replied confidently. Only to hear Zelda say: "He said that they are fellow villagers, and they are both from Ferruj." Knew each other a long time ago. He said that this man's name was Malle Potuk, not that he called himself, but that his family called him that. ”
Megan thought for a moment and said, "Ask them whose people they are." What organization it belongs to, who planned and organized the action, and what purpose it has. ”
Zelda nodded immediately and translated the question. I just heard this person say something to Zelda immediately after looking at Meghan. I saw Selda listening and saying, "He said they were... They are the men of Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri. ”
Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri? The name not only changed the faces of all the Iraqis present, but also surprised both Pete and Donovan. This person is a die-hard Saddam Hussein, in the war of the United States invading Iraq, when those high-ranking officials of the Iraqi army who had long been infiltrated and bought fled one after another one after another, this guy not only did not waver but insisted on fighting, and after the complete defeat, not only did not flee but stayed, and started a guerrilla war. This dozen has been fought to this day. Although he is sixty-five years old, he is still persevering. Such a person, even as an opponent and an enemy, can't help but admire.
Meghan didn't seem to believe it after being stunned for a moment, only to see her say, "He's lying." It's simply impossible, the guy simply wouldn't organize such an operation. If it was just this level, then he would have been finished long ago. Ask him what their purpose is. ”
Zelda immediately translated Meghan's words. I saw that the man who was squatting looked very, very unconvinced, and replied two sentences. I only heard Zelda translate: "He said that the purpose was very simple, that is, he wanted to attack the airport northwest of Mosul. He stressed that they were indeed the people of Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri and that they were under his leadership. ”
Meghan still sneered in disbelief and said, "So this operation was organized and planned by Izzat Ibrahim Duri?" ”
I saw that this time, after Zelda translated Meghan's question, the squatting Iraqi seemed hesitant. But before he could ask questions, he said something as if reluctantly, and then said one after another.
Zelda immediately translated: "He said that the specific plans and goals of this operation were not dictated by Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri, but by themselves. As he spoke, he glanced at the man lying on the ground and said, "This guy is the leader of the gang." It's not long ago that Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri informed everyone that they should take the initiative in the near future and find a way to strike at the aggressors and capitulationists. ”
Pete shook his head slightly when he heard this, obviously this group of people claimed to be the people of Izzat Ibrahim Duri, but in fact they were not the real descendants of that guy or the group of people who really valued and had a place in his heart. Therefore, there is no restriction or guidance on their movements at all, and in addition, they are already guerrillas, which are scattered everywhere for a long time, so it is even more impossible to effectively control them. It was because of this that these guys fought a battle to send people to the head, not only did they fail to do anything, but a group of people were also dispersed, and the leader was also caught.
