Chapter 225: Spiders
While Nuri and the British garrison were plotting to "make a wave of Leon" on the other side, Lyon, who had no idea about it, was still happily inspecting all aspects of Iraq with the "ghost" Alpha team and Rashid to assess Iraq's war potential.
"Boss, I always thought that this side of the Middle East was a place where birds don't lay eggs, but now it seems that this is not the case." Conrad held his gun, looked at the bustling streets of Baghdad, and said in surprise to Manfred beside him.
"Hmm." Manfred nodded and replied, "Although this Baghdad is not as good as our cities such as Berlin and Bremen, it is definitely comparable to provincial capitals such as Cologne. ”
"Young man, that Nuri is no ordinary character." Leon, who was originally walking in front, heard the conversation between the two behind him, so he slowed down and walked side by side with Manfred, and said with a smile, "Actually, you are right, when the Ottoman Turkish Empire was just divided, the Middle East was indeed in chaos, and each separatist country wanted to encroach on each other's land to strengthen itself, and the same was true for Iraq. It was not until the establishment of Iraq by the Faisal dynasty that it gradually stabilized, and the establishment of the Faisal dynasty was due to Nuri Said, oh, and of course, the British also contributed a lot of 'power'. Overall, Nouri is a man of some skill and is one of the few smart people in Iraq. ”
Leon praised Nuri in this way, saying that Nuri is one of the few smart people in Iraq, not to satirize the stupidity of Iraqis, but that Nuri is indeed as powerful as Leon said. According to the original history, Nuri served as the prime minister of Iraq 14 times in his lifetime, overturned countless opponents, and confronted several Iraqi kings head-on without dying, relying on his clever head and ruthless methods.
However, compared with European politicians, Nuri's means are still a little worse, and the reason why he can call for wind and rain in Iraq is that Iraqis are not dirty, so he has a very strong heart, but for Leon, who has an unshaped heart, Nuri is just "not an ordinary character" and "a little ability".
"Long live the Führer!" Seeing Leon coming down, the two hurriedly stopped talking and saluted.
"Hehe, there's no need to be polite to me." Leon waved his hand, "You keep talking, I'll go to the front." ”
With that, Leon picked up his pace and walked back to the front of the line. After Leon regained his previous speed, the group that had reduced his speed with Leon resumed their previous speed and continued to walk around Leon through the bustling streets of Baghdad.
While passing through an intersection, the team, which had been uneventful all the way, suddenly encountered an emergency.
A drunken middle-aged man staggered into the guards, threw himself into the arms of a high-ranking SS officer and threw up.
This really startled everyone, but these elite German soldiers who were one in a hundred immediately reacted, and more than a dozen soldiers close to Leon immediately surrounded Leon in the middle, skillfully loaded the guns in their hands, and guarded the surroundings while covering Leon to quickly retreat to a safe place.
Several soldiers who were close to the drunken man immediately pounced, pulled the drunken man off the SS officer and pushed him to the ground, and then pressed the drunken man firmly underneath with their bodies to prevent the human bomb.
It wasn't until minutes later, after making sure that there were no bombs on the man, that the soldier who was holding him down got up from the ground and pointed a gun at the drunk man to force him to kneel.
The drunken man had already woken up at this moment, he stared blankly at the German officer who had vomited all over his body, trembling and whimpering.
"Bastard!" Rashid, who reacted, was furious, and he knew that if Leon lost his goodwill with Iraq because of this, he would be uncomfortable. So he hurriedly ran up, kicked the drunk man over, pulled out the pistol on his waist and pointed it at the drunk man's head and shouted, "You have lost the face of Iraq!" ”
"Mr. Rashid, it doesn't have to be this way!" The German officer, who was vomited, pressed down Rashid's pistol and persuaded, "Who hasn't made mistakes?" I forgive him, you can let him live. ”
"This ......," Rashid hesitated, then turned to look at the whole box of Leon who was walking by himself.
When the German officer saw Rashid looking at Leon, he also turned his head and nodded lightly at Leon.
"Mr. Rashid, since my men have forgiven him, let him go." Leon smiled generously when he saw the officer nodding, "It's just a small mistake, and he's been punished as he deserves, isn't it?" ”
"Well, since the German friend has forgiven you, you get out!" After hearing Leon's words, Rashid withdrew his pistol and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't drink like this next time, if you let me bump into this appearance again, don't blame me for being rude!" ”
"Yes, yes!" The drunken man nodded as if he had been relieved, and then ran away quickly.
"My Führer, I beg to go back and take a shower and change clothes!" The officer pleaded with Leon.
"Forget it, I just happen to be tired of shopping." Leon nodded and said, "Mr. Rashid, how about we walk here today?" ”
"Okay, no problem, let's go back." Rashid was now almost obedient to Leon, "I will immediately arrange a place to bathe, even if I apologize to you, the innocent officer, on behalf of the Iraqi who made the mistake before." ”
"Thank you then." Leon laughed, and after saying that, he led the group back to the residence.
After returning to his residence, Leon returned to his room on the pretext of resting, and managed to break away from the people around Rashid, leaving only his own guards. A few minutes later, the German officer who had been "attacked" by the drunken man walked into Leon's room and handed him a piece of paper that was still stained with the vomit.
Leon took the paper and said to the officer suspiciously as he unfolded it: "Strange, why did the 'spider' suddenly contact us at this time?" ”
"I don't know, my Führer." The officer said respectfully, "But if he uses this almost lifeless way to contact us, there must be a particularly urgent situation." ”
Leon nodded, and began to read the contents of the paper carefully.
After a long time, he tore up the paper, threw it into the ashtray on the table, lit it, and said with a sneer: "It turns out that Mr. Nuri, who has never dared to come to see me, has made a move, and he wants to assassinate me, hehe." ”
"Nuri? Assassinate you? The officer wondered, "He should be busy with himself now, without the support of the Iraqi army, what can he do?" ”
"Of course, he alone can't make any waves, but what about the people from the British air base?"
"British Air Base?" The officer laughed and said, "Aren't they all a group of flight cadets?" ”
"No, no, no, that group of people still has some combat effectiveness." Leon sneered, "But they're a little bit worse when they want to mess with me." Arrange it, and ...... then."
