Chapter 357: Friendship with Value
Although less than a month has passed, and there has been no obvious change in the palace, the feeling given to Wang Dong is different, perhaps related to the mood.
Last night, after talking to Yunlong, Wang Dong realized that his friendship with Crown Prince Mohammed was valuable.
It's not that Crown Prince Mohammed did anything wrong, or that Wang Dong should introspect.
The world is changing, and so are people.
Not only Muhammad, but also Wang Dong.
Since people are changing, the friendship between people will definitely be affected.
Before the regency, Crown Prince Mohammed did everything to secure the position of prince and ensure that he would be able to sit on the throne after a hundred years.
Now Muhammad is not thinking about the individual, but about the whole country.
In fact, Wang Dong has undergone similar changes.
When he first came to Saudi Arabia, he just wanted to win a chance for himself to live a good life with his brothers.
Now, Wang Dong needs to think about more issues.
There is no right or wrong, and no one is responsible for it.
Wang Dong had already thought that the gift given to him by Crown Prince Mohammed, that is, the order, was actually a bait, or a brick throw.
Crown Prince Mohammed has his eye on another king, not the big boss of D&F Saudi Arabia.
It was still Saleh who came to take Wang Dong in, and after sending Wang Dong to the back garden and meeting Crown Prince Mohammed, he left.
"Saleh has told me your advice, and it's valuable. Only now, there is a more important matter that needs to bother you. ”
"It is an honor for all of us to serve His Highness."
Crown Prince Mohammed didn't say anything more and handed a document to Wang Dong.
It is a contract of insurance.
Crown Prince Mohammed personally financed the purchase of a huge amount of personal insurance for all the employees of D&F Saudi and Angu companies, including Wang Dong.
"Your Highness, this is ......"
"I've heard about your events in Baghdad, and it's a little late, but I don't think it's too late."
"This ......"
"Of course, I will pay the casualty pension for the operation separately. It's just a few days, and when Saleh is done, I'll let him go to you. ”
"Actually, there is no need for this, we ......"
"No, it's absolutely necessary. In addition, Prime Minister Razak has asked me to express my most sincere thanks to you on his behalf and I look forward to seeing you again. ”
Wang Dong was speechless, but Crown Prince Mohammed had said it to this point, what else could he say?
"This is the battle report I just received, you can take a good look at it."
That's the main thing.
Wang Dong didn't say much, and took the tablet computer handed by Crown Prince Mohammed.
The report came from Iraq, where Iraqi troops loyal to Karim had arrived in Najaf and only one infantry battalion was defending the city.
Although the report mentions that the officers and men of the battalion have sworn to live and die with the city, no one believes that an infantry battalion with absolutely no combat experience can hold back the Iraqi ace army.
You know, it was the "Mosul" brigade that acted as the vanguard, and it was reinforced by a long-range artillery battalion.
The battle report was sent last night, and almost ten hours have passed.
Perhaps, Najaf has been captured by Karim's army.
"What do you think?" It wasn't until Wang Dong put down the tablet computer that Crown Prince Mohammed asked.
"Razak's army could not hold Najaf, and it was only a matter of time before it fell. Within a few days, Karim's army would advance to Semavo. ”
"It's the rebels."
Wang Dong was slightly stunned and said, "How many government troops are there in Semavo?" ”
"It is known as a brigade, but there are only two infantry battalions at most, and the admired artillery battalion is not full, and there are only more than a dozen towed guns."
"Then, Semavo will soon fall."
"Yesterday, Razak had already ordered another brigade to go to Semavo. If all goes well, it should be possible to get there before the rebels. ”
"Which brigade?"
"The infantry brigade previously deployed in Nasiriyah, the regular army, full troops, and the equipment is not bad."
Wang Dong pondered for a while and said, "Even so, the government army can hold out in Saimawo for a month at most, and it would be good if there were twenty days. ”
"Are you so pessimistic?"
"It's not that I'm pessimistic, it's that none of the troops loyal to Razak have ever been to the battlefield, and most of the rebels led by Karim have been to Mosul." Wang Dong paused slightly, and then said, "What's more, Karim has Iran behind him, and he may be able to get the support of the Quds Force." ”
"This problem doesn't exist."
"Your Highness means ......"
"Yesterday, I already issued a warning through the Turkish president. As soon as the Quds Force is on the battlefield, even if it is just a corpse that can be identified, we will send troops into battle. Crown Prince Mohammed smiled coldly and added, "Before you came, the Turkish president called me, and the Iranian authorities have denied the accusation of sending Quds Force to Iraq and have expressed their support for our operation. ”
"That is to say......"
"As long as Karim's rebels still have a chance of winning, Iran will not rashly send the Quds Force to the frontal battlefield, at most to help Karim hold the rear, such as targeting the Kurds in the north."
"This means that Karim no longer has to worry about the future and can send more troops to the front."
Crown Prince Mohammed sighed and nodded slightly, agreeing with Wang Dong's opinion.
"The crown prince knows that I am the kind of person who will say anything, so I am not afraid of offending His Highness. In this situation, it is a miracle that Razak can hold out for three months. ”
"Saleh has already told me."
"Then, Your Highness may have to prepare for the worst."
"Let Razak leave Iraq?" Crown Prince Mohammed glanced at Wang Dong and said, "I don't care about Iraq, and to be honest, no one cares who rules Iraq." It's just that we must not lose this war, and I will never let Razak go into exile. ”
"But ......"
"When you are ready, I will let Saleh visit Islamabad as a special envoy."
Wang Dong sighed and said, "Even with the support of the Pakistani authorities, three months is too hasty. ”
"So, I need your help."
"Your Highness......"
"Now, Razak is recruiting, and we will do everything we can to support him, and if necessary, we can even provide our weapons and equipment. It's just that the new recruits need to be trained, and Lazak's subordinates lack a military commander like Karim. ”
"Your Highness is ......"
"Razak asked me for help, and I thought about it, and I felt that only you could help him get through it."
"I am not a soldier, and even if I used to, I was only a junior officer, and I never commanded the army to fight."
Crown Prince Mohammed smiled and said, "I trust your people, and I believe in you even more, knowing that you must have a way to help us through this." ”
