After listening to Leon's words, Rashid now regrets working with Leon a little.

Because in addition to the literal meaning of Leon's words, there is actually another meaning, that is, "Our Gestapo is professional in assassination, they can quietly kill Ira, the regent, and they can also quietly kill you, so since you have chosen to embark on the road of cooperation with us, then one road to the dark, if you let me know that you have two hearts, then I'm sorry." ”

But for Rashid, the issue of his own life is still secondary, and what Rashid is really worried about is actually his own country.

Lyon is even more powerful than Britain now, and it can be said that it is completely hegemonic, and it is uncertain how to use its homeland in the future.

Alas, there is a growing concern that Iraq will just come out of the "tiger's mouth" of Britain and enter the "wolf's den" of Germany, Rashid thought worriedly.

"Thank you Führer for the reminder, I will consider your suggestion." Rashid said in a somewhat depressed tone.

Leon listened to Rashid's strange tone, then glanced at Rashid, and roughly guessed what Rashid was thinking.

"Are you worried that we will break our promise, save you from the British, turn around and swallow you like the British?" Leon asked.

Rashid Wyn didn't speak, as if acquiescing to Leon.

"Rashid, you don't have to worry about that." "We Germans have always been the most committed people, and since we have promised to give you real independence, we will do it." ”

"I'm not worried about that, Führer." Listening to Leon's reassurances again, Rashid was a little relieved, and said, "Of course I believe in your country's promise, after all, Germany is not Britain, right?" ”

"Haha, of course, we are not the UK." Leon laughed and said, "The British treat you like a colony, and we take you seriously as allies!" ”

While the two were chatting, the convoy arrived at its destination, the garrison of the troops belonging to the "Golden Phalanx".

Leon's previous statement to Ira that "I have already made an appointment with Rashid to visit the barracks" is not a prevarication, but that he really wants to visit the barracks of the "Golden Phalanx", so Rashid has already arranged to welcome the troops in the barracks.

As soon as the protocol troops, who had been waiting there, saw that Lyon's motorcade had arrived at the gate of the barracks, they immediately began to play. Amid the majestic military music, the limousine in which Lyon was sitting stopped steadily in front of the "passage" formed by the two teams of soldiers.

As soon as the car stopped, the two guards standing next to the car stepped forward and opened the door for Leon and Rashidra respectively.

After the door opened, Leon confidently and calmly stepped out of the car, straightened out the suit that was slightly wrinkled due to the ride in the guard's respectful eyes, and then strode into the "passage" with Rashid, walking towards the rostrum at the end.

Behind the two were German officers carrying some briefcases. Further on, there were close to 200 soldiers of the Führer's Guard.

The guards soldiers, dressed in handsome SS uniforms, were in a row of four, kicking neatly behind the accompanying officers. Although they were handsome in their clothes and handsome in their feet, the others present would not doubt their combat effectiveness in the slightest.

Because the eyes of these soldiers were shining with a cold light, and they exuded a murderous aura, coupled with the strangely shaped rifle (STG-44 automatic rifle) on their chests, I am afraid that anyone could read the words "we are not easy to mess with" from them.

In fact, the Führer's Guard soldiers who can be selected as Lyon's personal escort, each of them has experienced the training of blood and fire, and they are the best of the best, they dare not say that they can fight with one against ten, with one against hundred, but they can definitely cover Lyon all the way from Baghdad to Latakia in an unexpected situation.

What the? Why can't Berlin be killed, you ask? That's because Latakia is already a Mediterranean seaport city in Syria, Iraq's neighbor, and who in the Mediterranean can withstand the wrath of the German High Seas Fleet?

Soon, Lyon and Rashid, who were walking side by side, and a group of officials walked to the rostrum, and after taking their seats, the welcoming ceremony officially began.

The ceremony to welcome the national leaders, in addition to the salute and the national anthem of military music, is a performance by the honor guards.

The Iraqi soldiers who participated in the honor guard show this time were all selected directly from the combat units and put into the ceremony after simple training, so compared with the honor guards of other major countries, Iraq's feeling to Lyon in all aspects is always a little worse.

However, this cannot be blamed on Iraq, after all, they are still nominally under the "trusteeship" of the British, how can they have so much energy to train special honor guards? Moreover, these officers and soldiers in front of them were stimulated by the handsome steps of the German Führer's Guard, and now they are performing with all their strength.

Watching the honor guard phalanx pass in front of him one by one, Leon smiled and waved at them, and the "honor guards" also replied with respectful eyes.

And the reason why these Iraqi soldiers had such respect for Lyon was that they saw the Germans who helped them out of British control as friends and good men who saved Iraq from fire and water.

Looking at these respectful eyes from the heart, Leon was very happy, and praised Rashid: "The soldiers of your country are quite in good spirits! ”

"Haha, thank you Führer for the compliment." Listening to Leon's praise, Rashid smiled, "Our army is indeed great, but it is still not as good as your army." ”

"By the way, Rashid, it's time to tell you the real purpose of my trip to the Middle East." After watching the honor guard for a while, Leon began to talk about business.

"The real purpose?" Rashid said strangely, "Didn't you come to negotiate with us about a concrete plan to drive out the British?" ”

"It's just one aspect." Leon said.

In order to ensure that the news of the German oil crisis would not leak to the Allies, when Germany informed Iraq that Lyon was coming, it used the reason of "negotiating a specific plan to drive out the British", so Rashid did not know the real purpose of Lyon.

"It's not hard to get rid of the British, and I arranged this trip to the Middle East mainly for one thing."

"Something?" Rashid wondered, "Is it oil?" ”

"Yes! Petroleum! Leon said seriously, "The Empire's oil has exceeded its means, and now the Empire's army is consuming oil reserves. Although there is a lot of oil in reserve, enough for us for a long time, if we continue like this, we will face a crisis one day. ”
