Chapter 14: Approaching the Truth
Majestic Mount Kossin.
The ancient city of Damascus on the hillside was ravaged by war before the end of the world, and a nuclear bomb directly wiped out half of the ancient city in the last nuclear war, and also made the entire mountain range a strong radiation area that human beings could not survive.
However, in this area of intense radiation, a hidden, deep cave leads to the belly of Mount Kesin, and a palace has been carved out of the belly of the mountain.
It's a bit reluctant to say it's a palace, and a shelter might be more appropriate. In addition to a huge open stone hall in the belly of the mountain, there are stone rooms of different sizes. The walls and floors of the stone hall and stone chambers were all unevenly hewn, not to mention any decoration and furniture.
Next to the side of the stone hall is a small stone room.
There is no modern furniture in the interior, just a few small closets carved out of the stone walls. In the closet, except for a dim oil lamp, there were only a few thick old books.
In the middle of the stone chamber was a large blanket of gray fur, and an old man in a white Arabic robe with a white turban around his head was praying reverently in the direction of the Kaaba of Mecca.
The old man bowed ten times before he turned around, revealing a thin cheek with a gray beard. The bridge of the nose is high, the thin lips are pursed, and the eyes like eagles are shining sharply.
"The Great Caliph." When the old man finished the prayer, the three people who had been standing outside the stone with their hands down bowed and walked in.
This old man is Is. The spiritual leader of the Lan Jihadist Army, the self-proclaimed Great Caliph of the Uthmans. Ibn . Abdullah.
Before the end of the world, the Americans offered him a bounty of $100 million. But his whereabouts have always been very mysterious, and the intelligence organizations of the United States and Britain have spent a lot of energy to finally lock down his traces, and there are even rumors that he is already dead.
Osman sat cross-legged at one end of the mat and beckoned the three to sit down as well.
A young boy walked in with a silver tray, poured a cup of black tea for everyone, left the teapot and tray in place, and respectfully withdrew.
"Aboud, why are you here, Aziz?"
Directly opposite Uthman, a middle-aged man with a checkered turban on his head and a beard on his face bowed to Uthman again, "Brother asked me to apologize to the Great Harifa on his behalf, the war on the front line has reached a critical moment, and he does not dare to leave easily." ”
Osman looked at Aboud calmly, but this gaze seemed to be able to see through everything, "If he is really so dedicated, more than half of the more than ten countries in South Asia and Southeast Asia will not be controlled by the Illuminati, and he will not let the Knights of the Holy Sword all fight in Afghanistan, and even snatch the 'Mountaineer' one step ahead of his nose." ”
"The Great Caliph is taught." Aboud did not dare to have a single rebuttal.
"If I'm not mistaken, Aziz is still stubbornly throwing troops into the Chinese battlefield, right?"
"Yes, my brother is preparing to join the elite Holy War Army after the early temptation."
"Tell me why he did it, is he really crazy? It doesn't matter how much he squandered those cannon fodder in Southeast Asia, but every fighter of the Jihadist Army is very precious, and those children are true warriors of Allah. ”
Abd hesitated, not daring to deceive him, "I think he may be really crazy, at first he was only tricked by Azimat to save the Chinese region*, but since Abdullah died in the snowy mountains, he has transferred all his anger to the Chinese." ”
Osman sighed lightly, "Abdullah's child is a pity, but what does this have to do with the Chinese?" ”
"Almost all of the teams looking for the 'Divine Stone' were buried under the snowy mountain, but a few people escaped from Phoenix City in Doom, and Aziz suspected that the people of Phoenix City had killed Abdullah, and even the 'Divine Stone' was finally obtained by them."
Osman had a hint of anger on his face, "It's the 'Divine Stone' again, and I didn't approve of Aziz going to find the 'Divine Stone' in the first place." We should not believe in supernatural forces other than Allah, whose burial is the punishment of Allah with the help of snowy mountains. ”
The three men in front of them hung their heads and listened to the teachings of the Great Caliph, not daring to have any objections.
Osman suddenly realized a problem. "Aren't all buried under the snowy mountains? How did Aziz know that someone had escaped in Phoenix? ”
"The information came from the Illuminati, and three Lightbringers escaped with the people of Phoenix. The elder brother has a deeply buried eyeliner inside the Illuminati. ”
"Aziz is an idiot! Can the Illuminati's intelligence be trusted, I'm afraid they deliberately let Aziz know, right? The Illuminati have been deployed in China since the beginning of the apocalypse, and now they are fighting fiercely with the army of Phoenix, does Aziz not know that he is being used as a spear by the Illuminati? ”
Abboud's face changed, and it was clear that neither he nor Aziz had realized it before.
Osman's sharp gaze stared at Aboud, "Remember, we currently have no core interests in China, those damn Americans are our number one enemy, and the Illuminati will not allow our existence." Stop Aziz's follow-up military operations and don't mess with the people of Doomsday Phoenix for now. ”
Surrounded by Ottoman's gaze, Abboud was already sweating on his forehead, and his hand holding the teacup was trembling a little, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
"Then you go now!" Uthman yelled at Aboud.
"Yes, yes......" Aboud panicked and ran out of the stone house.
The two remaining men in the room glanced at each other. On the left is a sturdy man wearing a field military uniform with a red checkered turban around his head. On the right is a man in a black robe, a black turban, and a black veil, all wrapped in black clothes, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.
Osman looked appreciatively at the sturdy man on his left, "Thank Allah and you Ahmet, my child, not as ignorant and arrogant as Aziz." ”
"Thanks to the teachings of the Great Caliph." Ahmet bowed slightly and saluted Osman again.
"Humility has always been your virtue, and let's talk about our fight against the Americans. So many nuclear bombs didn't kill them all, and now they're meddling around again! ”
Ahmed sorted out his thoughts a little and said: "The newly formed Avengers alliance of the Americans, the conventional military force has not yet returned to half of the level before the nuclear war, and they have not yet been able to send large-scale ground forces over. As a result, our current opponents are only their limited Evolver forces and the local forces they have propped up. Although they have the advantage in weaponry, our warriors are protected by Allah, making the enemy pay a terrible price and constantly expanding their control. ”
A smile appeared on Osman's face.
"Of the original 20 countries in Central Asia, 12 of them are completely under our control, and the Avengers only control 7 countries including Saudi Arabia and Kuwait among their traditional allies, and now the focus of the two sides is Iraq."
"Iraq again? Let me tell you a story. Osman said thoughtfully.
"In Iraq, there were not only the U.S. military, but also private U.S. security companies. Americans are not bound by the law at all in that country, they will not be held accountable for robbery, rape, and indiscriminate killing of innocents, and ordinary people hate Americans incomparably. Local rebel groups stood up against the atrocities of the Americans, and on one occasion they successfully ambushed a private military security company, killing four mercenaries and hanging one of their bodies from a bridge. Their heroic act was embraced by the populace, who took to the streets to celebrate, singing 'Allah is great' around the bodies of Americans. ”
Osman suddenly showed a pained expression, as if completely caught in the memory, "but their heroic actions spurred the United States to launch a frenzied retaliation." The U.S. military, in conjunction with the Iraqi army, began a general assault on cities that were considered strongholds of anti-American forces. It was to avenge the death of four Americans, as well as 1,800 soldiers and ordinary citizens. Even more vicious was the massive use of depleted uranium shells during the offensive, which led to the contamination of the area with radioactive material, and the emergence of a large number of cancer patients and deformed children for many years afterward. ”
Ahmet gritted his teeth and said: "Great caliph, don't worry, we will definitely let the Americans fall into it again, and the warriors will definitely make them pay for their past crimes!"
"You're doing a good job. But we should also be grateful to our old friend Pope Elijah, who would not have had it so easy for us if it had not been for the fact that his Gates of Heaven dragged Americans to America. Osman took a sip of the tea in his hand and said softly.
"Great Caliph, there is one thing that I think I must report to you." The last man spoke suddenly, and when he spoke, his voice was as pleasant as a yellow bird, and it turned out to be a woman.
"Aisha, my child, say whatever you want." There was a loving look in Uthman's sharp eyes.
"The Avengers did not put all their energy on the frontal battlefield, they have not given up investigating the truth of the nuclear war back then, and my 'Divine Shadow' troops have even recently discovered traces of the Avengers' second-order powerhouses outside the radiation zone."
Before Osman could speak, Ahmet snorted coldly, "What if they find out the truth?" Do they still have the ability to force us into hiding as they did back then? It is not certain who will die on the battlefield. ”
"No, my child, you are wrong. Now their main focus is on the Gates of Heaven, and if the truth of the nuclear war is revealed, they will be desperate to take revenge on us. At that time, not only the Americans, but also the Chinese and the Russians will target us together. Osman said worriedly.
Osman turned to Aisha again, "How many people are left who were involved in this back then?" ”
"According to your orders, the people who knew it back then have become martyrs one after another in the past few years, and the only people who are still alive are the people in this room and Aziz."
"Aziz?" Osman frowned deeply.
