Chapter 564: Betrayal and Result

In the face of Fan Yize's request, this lieutenant of the US Marine Corps was indeed difficult to refuse.

No ordinary U.S. soldier or officer could refuse such a trivial request.

In fact, the lieutenant still couldn't believe why the Ministry of Defense would allow future military resources companies to move freely on the battlefield in Iraq.

He is not questioning the Ministry of Defense, but he does not understand, because the Future Military Resources Company is an arms company, isn't the top of the Ministry of Defense worried about these people secretly providing weapons and equipment to the Iraqi army?

And these people are all armed into Iraq, will it really not affect the war?

The lieutenant was a little skeptical at this point, he didn't believe that the people in front of him really had just come to Iraq to provide humanitarian aid.

But the lieutenant also believes that the Ministry of Defense must have taken this into account, and as for why, he is not clear.

Only one thing the lieutenant is clear about is that the United States will not do anything with the future military resource company now, and it is naturally best to maintain friendship.

Since it is friendship, it is natural that this kind of request cannot be refused.

Fan Yize also expressed his gratitude for this, and with a wave of his hand, many people in the team came over with several large boxes.

In front of the Marines, the boxes were opened one by one, and inside were neatly arranged with various things, boxes of cigarettes, coffee and cola, bread and various instant biscuits, and cooked fresh vegetables and meat.

Things were distributed to each prisoner in the hands of these US Marines.

During the distribution of food, Fan Yize also had a brief understanding of the prisoners, who were originally soldiers defending Basra, and at the moment some of them were wearing civilian clothes, and some were wearing the camouflage uniforms of the Iraqi Army.

Most of them came empty-handed, and some of them came with weapons to surrender, and the weapons they carried had been dismantled by these American soldiers and thrown directly into the canal when they surrendered.

Each captive was registered, name, identity, family and address, number of the unit in which he had served, and his or her length of service.

Through a simple inquiry, Fan Yize also knew that among these prisoners were all escaped from Basra during the US air raid on Basra two days ago.

There were quite a few Iraqi soldiers who fled the troops, but many were hunted and killed by death squads when they fled.

And they are all looking for the surrender of the American troops, because only in this way can they seek protection, otherwise, once they fall into the hands of the death squads, they will definitely die.

In the hands of these Iraqi soldiers, they all held all kinds of colorful leaflets dropped by US planes, all of which were leaflets aimed at Iraqi soldiers, and the contents of the leaflets were all generous security treatment.

The Iraqi soldiers who surrendered, not only fled the army because they feared death, but were also attracted by the generous security conditions on these leaflets.

The Iraqi soldiers who surrendered, all of them looked pitiful, some had no shoes, some had swollen feet and were bleeding, and two American soldiers were medical soldiers who were still treating some wounded Iraqi soldiers.

A glance sweeps, inflamed wounds, dysentery and fever, there are.

The healthiest of these people are also somewhat dehydrated.

After receiving the food distributed, some Iraqi soldiers were crying and some were numb.

In his contact with these US soldiers, Fan also learned that they did not feel strange at all about these surrendered Iraqi soldiers.

It's just that they are curious about why these Iraqi soldiers dare to walk nearly 200 kilometers with just strips of cloth on their feet and just a freeze-proof water bottle.

In the words of these US soldiers, based on the experience of the first Gulf War, they knew that Iraqi soldiers would have surrendered, but what they did not expect was that this time the Iraqi soldiers would be so depressed.

Fan also learned that these prisoners would soon be sent to the rear and handed over to other troops.

And these surrendered Iraqi soldiers will be treated in accordance with the Geneva Conventions.

However, the trucks that came from behind could only transport less than half of the prisoners, and according to the convention, the surrendered Iraqi soldiers were to be provided with food, water and medical care, and all appropriate measures were taken to ensure safety during the transfer of the prisoners.

However, due to the lack of transport capacity, it was simply not possible for so many Iraqi soldiers to reach the rear troops safely, so the prisoners had to leave on their own.

Fan Yize also further learned that according to the latest order, these surrendered Iraqi soldiers can only return to Basra.

Because Nasiriyah, which these Iraqis have chosen to go to, will soon become a battlefield.

Returning to Basra, it was these Americans who came up with the best place for these Iraqis, and of course there was no need for persuasion at this time, but directly gave orders.

However, the Iraqi prisoners of war were reluctant to accept such an order, but despite their constant arguments that the result of returning to Basra would inevitably be executed by the killing squads, this reason did not change the attitude of the Americans.

If it weren't for Fan Yize's unexpected arrival, these POWs would have set off quickly and returned to Basra, and a few more would have survived.

For these surrendered Iraqi soldiers, Fan Yize did not have any disgust, of course, there was no sympathy, on the battlefield, never expect every soldier to be able to see death as home, a country, not all citizens, will be 100% satisfied with their government.

Unless it is a Red Guard regiment, unless it is a country under the mind controller, such a country cannot exist at all.

Seeing these surrendered Iraqi soldiers, Fan Yize also saw that there were more Iraqi soldiers who chose to fight on the front line on the battlefield, for the sake of their country, and with tenacious will.

Fan Yize also did not think about changing the fate of these people, because when these deserters made the choice to betray their country and army, they had the responsibility to bear all the consequences.

Abandoned their country and people, surrendered and then abandoned by the Americans, this is the consequences they need to bear.

As for how far they can get out, no one can say for sure, I'm afraid it won't take a few hours for many of these prisoners of war to be shot directly in this desert by the killing team, and of course there are those who are lucky enough to be able to escape the guns of the killing team.

Therefore, Fan Yize will not despise and sympathize with these people, because they have no regret medicine to take.
