Chapter 243: Source 2
The captains were honest and told Zhang Xiaowu everything they knew, without reservation, because they wanted to live.
In particular, Chekov, the commander of the Soviet army, simply knew everything, said everything, said everything that could and could not be said, and put everything on the table. Angry that the captain of the rice country, Tran stomped his feet and scolded, what leaked secrets, traitors and the like.
But Chekov did not move, but said a word that made Tran speechless.
"The secrets of your country are not our secrets, are you in charge?"
What kind of truth is this, it's too immoral, shouldn't secrets be obliged to keep them? Isn't it true that the less people know the secret, the better?
But in exchange for Chekov's contempt, continued.
About a month ago, the Soviet army and the Syrian government coalition successfully liberated the area and stationed it here. More than 20 days ago, more than 600 Soviet troops were wiped out here. The whole world knows about it. However, people from the outside world did not see the scene at all. The soldiers died so bizarrely, some in their sleep, some with severed limbs, and some from killing each other. Although Soviet Russia shouted fiercely, it only gave an explanation to the Chinese people and took the political initiative in the international arena.
And countries did send investigation teams, and they all disappeared in the course of the investigation. In other words, it is not only Huaxia's team that is missing.
As a result, countries had to send personnel again. The problem is that for some reason, the nearby area, since the incident known as "Hell's Gate" to the outside world, has become an electronic silent zone, and no communication equipment can be used, not even satellites can detect it, and it is completely a riddle. Even airplanes can't fly in this area.
Under such circumstances, countries do not dare to send large troops, and if something goes wrong, it will be an unbearable loss. In the end, I had to send a special operations team again, and I also spent money to hire some mercenaries to support on the periphery.
Speaking of which, we have to talk about the source of the previous great earthquake and the demonic wind. And before we talk about that, we have to talk about some history.
During World War II, Nazi Germany occupied this ancient country and fought several major battles against the Allies. Many people once wondered why the Nazis were so obsessed with grabbing these barren lands near Central Asia when the oil industry was not developed at that time.
Later, at the end of World War II, with the support of the United States, countries in the Middle East established or became independent one after another, and ninety percent of the forces belonged to the banner of the United States. Since then, the Middle East seems to have become a taboo in the United States, and no country or force is allowed to touch it. And some countries that want to break away from the control of the United States have also been attacked and destroyed by the United States, or plunged into unlimited wars and turmoil.
Some people feel that the United States cares so much about the Middle East, killing many people and offending many countries for the sake of oil. But the question is that the rice country has a terrible amount of oil, and it is not short of that money, is it necessary to continue to wage war with such fanfare?
Until one day, the leader of the Syrian country decided to throw himself into the arms of Soviet Russia and told it a secret. Soviet Russia actually took the risk of offending the world's first military experience superpower and accepted this country. There is no need to dwell on why the Syrian leaders chose to turn their backs on the United States and get closer to Soviet Russia. As long as you know, the country is angry, and this time it is really angry.
The Syrian war broke out, as if it was endless, and the fighting was endless.
What is the secret that Syria gave to Soviet Russia that makes many countries willing to participate at any cost?
Chekov didn't know this secret in detail, but it was related to the over-speed development of the United States after World War II.
After World War II, the Soviet Union received most of Nazi Germany's wealth, scientific and technological power, and a small amount of talent, and European countries gained the remaining wealth to make up for the war losses.
And the United States, first, don't pay compensation, second, don't want resources, and don't cut land, just take away most of the scientists. On the contrary, they have also provided a lot of money to help countries recover their economies, an almost saint-like move.
But many people wonder why the United States suddenly developed like a science and technology after World War II, and even led other developed countries by decades in a short period of time. Even the Soviet Union, which had the strongest military and the largest area, and the most captured in World War II, was much inferior, and if it were not for the large number of nuclear warheads, it would have been suppressed long ago and could not raise its head.
What makes the country so strong?
It turned out to be the Middle East. This region, which has been in the midst of chaotic warfare, has the technology of a prehistoric civilization, perhaps a remnant of a mysterious alien civilization.
As soon as Soviet Russia got the news, they naturally wanted to help the Syrian government take back what belonged to them, and this was the real source of the war.
The military base they were fooled at turned out to be an oil refinery affiliated with the Mi Guo Company, which was occupied by the rebels and established a military base.
After the Soviets liberated this place, they thought it was just a remote and ordinary base, and they didn't care. Until more than 600 soldiers died suddenly, they began to send people to investigate. So the United States became nervous, and together with many countries, it had to participate in the investigation of this incident. In the name of beauty, he said that he wanted to give an explanation to Soviet Russia.
At this point, there is a little discrepancy with Zhang Xiaowu's understanding, he thought that Soviet Russia was putting pressure on various countries and forcing them to help, but he didn't expect that it was the United States that took the initiative to participate.
And Soviet Russia saw that so many countries wanted to get a piece of the pie, so they panicked a little and simply pulled Huaxia into the water. It seems that Huaxia sent people to help, not just to help.
Are there alien civilization ruins here? Zhang Xiaowu was unimpressed when he heard this. Judging from the previous earthquakes, black sandstorms, and poisonous demonic gas gushing out from the ground, it can be judged that it is not so simple.
Sure enough, after a quarrel between Chekov and Trontu, the truth of the matter was finally revealed.
It turns out that this is not an oil refinery built on an abandoned oil field at all, but a super mysterious laboratory.
There is no alien civilization buried underground, and it is an underground city, an ancient city that has long been buried in the long river of history. The ancient city provides clues to the discovery of science and technology for the United States. But what really cares about the United States is a portal. A gateway to otherworldly space.
In order to hide these secrets, the United States built the so-called oil refinery, a mysterious laboratory.
But after all, this is Syria, there is no impermeable wall, and the leaders of Syria do not know how to obtain a trace of clues. Knowing the secret, not only was he not happy, but he was afraid to die, so he simply defected to the side of Soviet Russia. This is the origin of the Syrian war.
As for the strong earthquake and the terrible demonic wind, it was man-made, in order to cover up something.
