Chapter 224: Infernal
While Leon and Rashid were having a good conversation, there were two people talking happily somewhere in Iraq.
"Lieutenant General Smart, then we'll settle it." A kind-looking man in his fifties said with a slight flattery to a British general sitting in front of him with the rank of lieutenant general.
"Haha, that's it!" The lieutenant general named Smart laughed heartily and said, "As long as Mr. Nouri can provide us with the real-time location of Lyon, we can let him walk into Iraq and lie back to Germany!" ”
"Well, I believe that with the strength of your soldiers, Leon will be unable to escape death this time." Nuri listened to Lieutenant General Smart's words and bowed his head slightly in compliment.
"Hahaha!" Lieutenant General Smart listened to Nuri's words and smiled even brighter, "Mr. Nuri, you are very discerning!" ”
"That's it, Lieutenant General Smart, I'll go back to Baghdad to arrange the preparations first." Nuri stood up and said, "The leader of the 'Golden Phalanx' troops who are secretly surrounding this base has been bought by me, and he will pretend not to see it at that time, and release your country's assault team from the air base." As for Leon's location, the spy I planted next to Rashid will secretly send Leon's location to you before the operation. ”
"Good!" Smat nodded, "Goodbye, Mr. Nanuri, I still have official business to deal with here, so I won't send it." ”
"Well, general, you are free." Nuri smiled humbly, and walked out the door with his secretary.
After Nuri left the building where his office was located, Smart walked to the window and watched Nuri get into the car and gradually disappear from his field of vision, saying to himself, "This dog is good, not only is he loyal, but he is also capable enough to do things for Daying." Those old guys in the council are really old and confused, and they are not satisfied with such a great dog? No, I'll have to talk to Mr. Churchill! ”
Just as Smart turned back to his desk and began to draft a telegram to Churchill in high spirits, Nuri on the other side changed from the humility he had spoken to Smart before.
He turned his head to look at the building where Smart was, sneered twice, and said to himself, "Huh, Smart? But also an idiot! ”
"Sir, are we really going to cooperate with the British to take out Lyon?" The secretary sat next to Nuri and asked hesitantly, "We don't have hatred with Germany, not to mention how can we bear the wrath of the Germans when we kill Lyon?" ”
"Stupid!" Listening to the secretary's words, Nuri scolded with a look of hatred for iron and steel, "The Germans have no enmity with us? Don't you know why Rashid's brainless idiot can overpower us? And not with the support of that bastard in Lyon? ”
"Uh, okay." The secretary wiped her sweat awkwardly.
"Humph! But you're right about it, the British aren't good either! Nuri snorted coldly, "I have groveled in front of them for more than ten years, just waiting for an opportunity, a chance to drive them all away!" And now, that opportunity has finally arrived! ”
"Sir, you are amazing! But I'm not as smart as you are, and I don't understand it a bit, can you explain it to me? The secretary asked with a look of adoration.
"Haha, it's normal that you don't understand my plan!" Nuri's face was full of pride, "Anyway, it's okay now, it doesn't hurt to explain it to you." ”
"Let's start with an analysis of the current European landscape. In addition to some neutral countries, the whole of Europe can be roughly divided into three camps, the first is the camp of the Central Powers led by Britain and France, which is the strongest of the three camps, they have more than 3 million troops on the German-French border, and this number is still climbing, coupled with the impregnable Maginot Line, it is foreseeable that it will be almost invincible in future wars, which is why I chose to side with the British. ”
"The second is the Axis camp led by Germany, they have a huge army of more than 4.5 million, but only the more than 2 million soldiers in Germany and more than 600,000 in Czechoslovakia really have combat effectiveness, and other things such as Italy, Spain, puppet Poland and the like cannot confront the British and French armies at all, oh, maybe the Finnish army is worth mentioning, but they are far away in Northern Europe, and the Soviet Union is a beast watching from the side, and they can't support the Western European battlefield."
"And finally, the behemoth of the Soviet Union, they have 4.9 million people! This is the largest number of the three camps, but unfortunately most of the 4.9 million troops are outdated, and the strongest part of the combat effectiveness is still deployed in the Far East to confront the Japanese, so the Soviet Union is the weakest of the three camps. ”
"Now that the Axis and the Allies have declared war on each other, close to 6 million men are massing on the German-French border, and a super-war like the last one could break out at any time. It is foreseeable that as long as this war starts, then Britain will no longer want to pay attention to us, and we can take this opportunity to wash out all the power of the British! ”
"If the situation is as dangerous as you say, why should we risk German retaliation to assist the British in taking out Lyons?" The secretary listened to Nuri's analysis and became even more confused, "Let them eat dog, wouldn't it be better for us to watch from the sidelines?" ”
"Huh." Nuri laughed sinisterly twice, "Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight? Originally, I did think so, but how could I let go of such a good opportunity for that idiot in Lyon to leave Berlin and run to Iraq? Killing him will add a dose of fierce medicine to Germany, making the fight between Germany and Britain and France more intense. And as for taking revenge on us? Sorry, but how did they know that we gave away Lyon's location to the British? It seems to me that the Germans want to take revenge on Rashid that fool, after all, Lyon is the thing that happened to him, and the attackers on Lyon also drove the British base from under the noses of his troops. ”
"High!" The secretary's eyes lit up, "It is worthy of Mr. Nuri, who single-handedly created Iraq!" You're amazing. ”
"Haha." Nuri listened to the secretary's praise, laughed twice, and then patted the secretary on the shoulder and said, "Rubayi, how long have you been with me?" Twelve years, right? ”
"Yes sir, twelve years and five months." Rubayi said with his eyebrows lowered.
"Alas, twelve years and five months, it passed in the blink of an eye." Nuri sighed and said, "I think you were a young guy back then, and now you're almost 40." Rubayi, you are the one I trust the most, and when these things are over, you will be rewarded for your loyalty, I promise! ”
"Thank you, sir." Rubayi replied respectfully with his head bowed, as if full of respect and obedience to Nuri.
It's a pity that no one saw the sneer on the corner of his mouth.
