May 2, the eve of the attack. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qin Haoge was busy all day during the day, and he was still working at seven o'clock in the evening.

Qin Mu brought over a bowl of supper and tried to keep his voice as low as possible: "General Steven wants to see you." ”

"Steven? What does he want to do? What else is there to say now-" Qin Haoge didn't put down the document in his hand, and replied casually.

Qin Haoge and Steven Streich once met, Steven Streich served in the British Fifth Army on the Eastern Front in the World War, and Qin Haoge dealt with Steven Streich.

However, like the impression left on Qin Haoge by other British generals, Steven Streich did not leave a good impression on Qin Haoge, arrogant, rude, arrogant, and looked down on all colored people, and did not hide it.

You don't need to go to Qin Haoge to know what Steven Streich wants to do, it is nothing more than to let Qin Haoge stop the war, not to break through the tacit understanding between Lan Fang and Britain, and enter Iraq to fight the First Division of the National Guard that keeps causing trouble.

If it was a month ago, Qin Haoge might have agreed to this suggestion, because Qin Haoge had just arrived in Syria at that time and did not know the situation enough, so he would not have made too many moves. Not now, now that the troops have completed their preparations for the attack, the so-called arrow has to be launched, and Steven Streich's plan will definitely fail.

"I don't know, General Steven's lieutenant came, and he said that General Steven Streich's car was nearby." Qin Mu didn't guess, nor did he mix his own suggestions.

Qin Haoge thought for a while, but still put down the document in his hand: "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

Steven Streich was indeed nearby, less than 10 kilometers out of the camp in the direction of Iraq, and Steven Streich's car was parked in a very unweathered valley.

Qin Mu got out of the car with the people of the guard company first, and after a routine inspection to ensure safety, Qin Haoge got out of the car and met Steven Strachage in a tent that had already been set up.

Compared with four years ago, Qin Haoge's appearance has hardly changed, and his temperament is more calm, while Steven Streich has lost a little weight, and the wrinkles next to his eyes have increased, which makes Steven Steven Streich's eyes look more and more cloudy.

"General Steven, long time no see." Qin Haoge behaved down-and-out, took off the gloves on his hands, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Steven.

"Qin, it's nice to see you again." Steven Streich also greets in French.

"I really didn't expect that we would meet in this place." There was a coffee table and two reclining chairs in the tent, and Qin Haoge sat down on the recliner that was closer to him, his body did not lie down, and he was leisurely and vigilant.

"I didn't expect that under normal circumstances, we should meet in a café in Paris or London, order a cup of coffee and share friendship-" Steven Strachey didn't sit down, and made a cup of coffee for Qin Haoge himself: "Of course, it's not bad here, the authentic 'cat' coffee from Lanfang is full of aroma and bitterness of life." ”

Qin Haoge originally wanted to drink it, but after Steven Streich finished speaking, Qin Haoge put down his cup: "If you know how this coffee came from, then I'm afraid you won't have such a good appetite." ”

"My appetite has never been very good, I'm old, I can't eat well, and I can't compare with you." Steven Strachey took the action.

"My appetite is good, but I'm always picky, and if something doesn't match my appetite, then I'm definitely not going to eat it." Qin Haoge said along with Steven Streich's meaning.

"And what's your appetite now?" Steven Streich finally got down to business.

"It's okay, those who break the rules have to pay." Qin Haoge was concise.

"So if you cross the border, is it a rule violation?" Steven Streich is-for-tat.

"It doesn't count, because your people violated the rules first." Qin Haoge didn't give an inch.

Steven Streich ignored Qin Haoge's accusations and had no intention of justifying, although Qin Haoge was insensitive to "cat", but this did not affect Steven Steven Streich's appetite. Steven Streich took a sip of "cat", closed his eyes and tasted the fragrance between his lips and teeth, and then sighed faintly: "Actually, whether it is Syria or Iraq, this is a war between barbarians, and it has nothing to do with us, the same reason, whether it is Britain or France, or you Lanfang, we are all people outside the chessboard, civilized people should not get involved in the war of barbarians, we should keep our demeanor out of the matter, and wait until the war has a result, we will see what happens." ”

Listen, that's the standard colonial ideology.

For Steven Streich, neither Syrians nor Iraqis are people, they are just pawns.

Steven Streich didn't want the war to expand, and Steven Streich's implication was that if Qin Haoge's men crossed the Syrian-Iraqi border, it would be tantamount to breaking the tacit understanding between Lan Fang and the British, and Britain would also send reinforcements, so this local war might turn into a full-scale war, which the British would definitely not want to see.

To be honest, the people of Lanfang don't want to see it, it's not the time yet.

"I want to stay out of it too, but your people have been pushing the bottom line, can you guarantee that this kind of thing won't happen again in the future?" Qin Haoge knew Steven Stredge's embarrassment, but he did not protect Steven Stredge's face.

The purpose of the British army in Iraq was to harass the oil fields developed by the French in Syria, but now it seems that the situation has gotten a little out of control, and the Iraqi officers led by Karim have grown up very quickly in the war, and some of them have gained control of some of the troops, so these Iraqi officers began to have other ideas, and the cross-border attack is just one of the manifestations of Steven Strepch's loss of control over the army, and Steven Strepch's response to this issue is indeed a failure.

Qin Haoge's meaning is also obvious, if Steven Streich can restrain the troops, then Qin Haoge will maintain a tacit understanding, but if Steven Streich is unable to restrain him, Qin Haoge will definitely not be beaten passively.

"This kind of thing has happened before, and it will definitely happen in the future, and no one can restrain the ethnic hatred that has existed for thousands of years." Steven Streich is really powerless.

Before the twentieth century, there was basically no concept of government in the Middle East, at least not in the hearts of Middle East people, even in the Ottoman Empire era before the nineteenth century, because of the barrenness of the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire's rule over the Middle East was only nominal, and the real leading role in the Middle East was the clan power dominated by tribes, and the concept of "home government" was very vague.

Since the nineteenth century, European countries led by Britain and France began to carve up the Ottoman Empire, after the world war, the Ottoman Empire lost control of the Middle East, and the British and French did not get the imaginary market in the Middle East, so the evaluation of Britain and France in the Middle East is constantly decreasing, if it were not for the discovery of oil fields in northern Syria, it is estimated that there would be no Syrian-Iraq war at all.

"Regardless of whether it will happen in the future, I will not allow this to happen to my troops, my troops should not become a bucket for national hatred, if someone tries to challenge the majesty of Lan Fang's army, then he will definitely pay the price." Qin Haoge didn't want to get by vaguely, and put on a posture of wanting to investigate to the end.

"So how far do you want to go? Erase Iraq off the map? Steven Streich didn't expect to make Qin Haoge stop fighting, and determining Qin Haoge's bottom line was Steven Steven Streich's goal.

"Erase? How is that possible, Iraq is a protectorate of the British Empire, and I don't mean to use the British Empire as an enemy, so I'm just going to make some people pay, and that's good for you, isn't it? Qin Haoge's words were very much in line with Steven Streich's heart.

In the matter of the army's loss of control, Steven Streich must have an unshirkable responsibility, and Qin Haoge's doing this can objectively help Steven Streich get rid of part of the responsibility, and it can also strengthen Steven Strepchet's control over the army.

So Qin Haoge is not worried at all that Steven Streich will resolutely oppose it, I'm afraid that Steven Streich also wants to use Qin Haoge as a gunman in his heart.

Of course, it's still the same sentence, it's easy to ask God to send God, and Steven Streich is probably also thinking of hiding all the birds, and when Qin Haoge kills Karim, Steven Streich still hopes that Syria and Iraq will remain in their current state.

This is equivalent to Steven Stredge's "hiring" Qin Haoge to cut off hidden dangers, and it doesn't cost money to "hire".

"I'm afraid that has nothing to do with me, I have something to inform you, my old friend, that I'm leaving." Steven Streich turned his words around, as if with the sadness of parting.

"Let's go? Where are you going? Qin Haoge was curious.

It's not that Qin Haoge is emotionally reluctant to Steven Streich, but Qin Haoge is reluctant to Steven Stitch, a "soft persimmon".

"Leave Iraq and go back to my home country in Wales." There was no reluctance in Steven Stredge's tone, and Steven Streich was enough in this hellish place as Iraq: "I have submitted my resignation to the Ministry of Defense, and it has been approved, the new governor will arrive in Iraq in three days, and then the affairs of Iraq will have nothing to do with me anymore." ”

Well, that's right, some time ago, because of the intervention of Lanfang's army, the Iraqi army was defeated again and again on the battlefield, and the British government also needed a scapegoat.
