"We must prepare for war in full." Aphrola did not answer this question, but ordered: "Now we must start to recruit soldiers in full. In the areas we control, all men of appropriate age must register military service, and even expand to women. Some will serve immediately, and the other will be transferred to reserve. If necessary, we must also expand the source of troops as much as possible."

Moxili nodded: "I understand."

"A turbulent era is about to begin..." Aphrola smiled: "No! The turbulence has already begun!"

At the same time, Cang Hao contacted Meng Yanglong again and told the truthfully: "It is important. I cannot make decisions alone, so I can only let the international community find a way together."

"I will submit it to the United Nations." Meng Yanglong dragged his long voice and said in a heavy tone: "This is a crisis faced by all mankind. I hope everyone can give up on each other's prejudice and unite to survive. But what I worry is that many people may not be so visionary and still seek personal benefits at this time."

"Like Aphrola."

"Why did you mention her?"

"I have no doubt that if I have the chance, she will choose to cooperate with the Soul of Aden." Cang Hao said this and shook his head helplessly: "But I still told her the story."

"You should tell her." Meng Yanglong nodded: "After all, you are all ally, and you still need her to do things in the future. If she knows what you have hidden, she will definitely have prejudice against you!"

Cang Hao was talking to Meng Yanglong when a guard came in outside and informed him: "Someone wants to see you!"

"Who?"

"He called himself Kutulti, an assistant to the president of the country." The guard replied: "He claimed that there was something very important to see you."

"Where are they now?"

"In front of the main gate." The guard told Cang Hao: "Of course we won't let them in."

Cang Hao immediately told Meng Yanglong: "The assistant to the president of the country involved wants to see me."

"I don't know about this." Meng Yanglong shook his head: "Their foreign affairs department has had a long conversation with our foreign affairs department before and discussed the situation response plan. They did not mention the Blood Lion mercenary at all, let alone see you."

"Then what should I do now?"

Meng Yanglong replied meaningfully: "Since everyone has come, you can't be turned away."

Cang Hao thought so himself. After finishing the call with Meng Yanglong, he did not ask the guards to bring the guests in, but went directly to the front door of the forward base.

The internal layout of the military base is confidential, involving personnel deployment and the configuration of weapons and equipment. Of course, outsiders cannot be allowed to come in at will.

At this time, in front of the main entrance of the base, there were six black Mercedes-Benz high-end bulletproof sedans, and more than a dozen black men stood under the Mercedes-Benz, all wearing black custom suits.

Africa often leaves a impression that it is poor and backward. In fact, the superstructure of Africa is not much different from other countries.

They also have their own ruling class and vested interests, enjoying a luxurious material life. The black people in front of them look more like Wall Street elites, not like native Africans.

"I am Cang Hao." Cang Hao stood in front of the other side and introduced himself: "Who of you wants to see me?"

The leader of the black man immediately came over and said in very standard American English: "Hello, I am Kutulti, and I am the assistant to the president of my country."

"Hello." Cang Hao smiled: "Your English is very standard."

"I studied in Harvard." Kutulti's experience is enough to show that he is an elite: "I visited today and have an important job and want to talk to Mr. Cang."

Cang Hao nodded: "Let's talk inside."

The forward base cannot be accessed casually, but the base has complete functions and has a special reception area and living area, which can accommodate external guests for a period of time.

After Cang Hao brought Kutur into the reception room, he said directly: "Since I came to your country, I have not had formal contact with you. After all, I am employed by the United Nations and have no channels for contact with you."

"I know." Kutulti nodded slowly: "Because you contact the United Nations directly, our opinions are often unable to be conveyed to you in time. As for the opinions given to you by the United Nations... You also know that it is a battlefield for big countries to fight. Small and poor countries like us often cannot protect their own interests."

"Are you coming to me this time to protect your own interests?"

"My relationship with your country is pretty good. I have greeted you through the foreign affairs department and want to meet you for a time." Kutulti did not answer positively, but asked meaningfully: "Can I know what happened in Marrakech?"

After all, he is the only one who has the right to know, so Cang Hao said it without hiding it: "I'm very troubled now and don't know what to do, and I don't have the right to deal with it by myself, so I can only report it to the United Nations."

"I said that the United Nations is a battlefield for great struggle. When the incident has affected the security of the world, those big countries will only care about their own safety and do not consider our feelings at all..." Kutulti smiled helplessly: "So, the decision you are waiting for in the United Nations is actually just the interests of the big countries in the end."

"So why are you coming to me for?"

Kutulti still did not answer positively: "I can tell you what the interests and needs of the great powers are. They will drop nuclear bombs here and razor everything to the ground."

Even if Kutulti didn't say it, Cang Hao had received some news. The world was already very turbulent, but now there were more turbulent factors, which were threats from another space. The once-for-all way was to blow up Marrakesh.

Kutulti continued: "Marrakech is our most important city after all, and we cannot just throw it away directly. If we implement the will of a great power, it will cause us a lot of trauma."

"I can understand this." Cang Hao sighed: "It is not easy to build such a city, I am afraid that the economy will retreat for decades."

"There are countless names!"

"Improve the issue of human life...no need to consider it."

"Why?"

"Because so far, there is no precedent for successful treatment for those infected with the Soul of Aden." Cang Hao told Kutulti bluntly: "Especially after the Soul of Aden is specialized to individuals, it has formed a close connection with individual humans and has become part of each other. We have no way to kill the Soul of Aden without harming the human body."

When Kutulti heard this, he frowned, but he knew that Cang Hao was telling the truth.

After the emergence of the Soul of Aden, the international community has done a lot of research, treating Kutulti as a disease or parasite, hoping to cure infected people.

Some people even use religious means to perform rituals such as exorcism or purification.

There is no doubt that all these efforts failed, and when the soul of Aden was killed, so did the infected humans.

"When the Blood Lion Mercenary first faced the Soul of Aden, it was useless..." Cang Hao shook his head: "Under the attack of our weapons, all creatures will be destroyed. Even those who are not infected by the Soul of Aden will still turn into ashes."

"Can you keep this city?"

Cang Hao was helpless when he heard this question: "I have the final say."

"If the United Nations decides to use nuclear weapons to strike, I hope you will be able to refuse to execute the order."

"You're thinking too much." Cang Hao was even more helpless: "First of all, the Blood Lion mercenaries do not have nuclear weapons. Even if the United Nations wants to carry out a nuclear strike, it is impossible for the Blood Lion mercenaries to authorize the Blood Lion mercenaries, but will authorize a military power. Secondly..."

Cang Hao stopped talking here, and Kutulti asked: "What's wrong?"

"The United Nations cannot pass such a resolution." Cang Hao told Kutulti confidently: "The purpose of the establishment of the United Nations is to stop war, not to start wars, nor to hurt so many innocent people. You should know that even the United Nations peacekeeping forces have the right to open fire only in rare cases, and the United Nations will only authorize a military strike against a target at a very special time."

"This is..." Kutulti nodded thoughtfully: "In the decades after the end of the Cold War, NATO's series of military operations, whether it is the Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Kosovo War or the Second Gulf War, have all bypassed the United Nations."

"Even if someone really makes such a resolution in the United Nations, our country will definitely object, but..." Cang Hao said word by word: "Some countries must be prevented from taking action bypassing the United Nations. Of course, this is a war act of eating fruits, but you must believe that those military powers do not care about sacrificing millions of Africans in order to protect themselves!"

Kutulti followed the trend and proposed: "That's why I hope to reach a cooperation with the Blood Lion Mercenaries!"

“How to cooperate?”

"You are military contractors, you can cooperate with other countries, and of course you can also work with us." Kutulti should have thought about how to negotiate with Cang Hao: "You have two tasks, one is to prevent the spread of the soul of Aden, and the other is that if a third party launches a strike against Marrakesh, I hope you can intercept it."

"It's easy to deal with a task, and we're here for this, but the second task means we may have a conflict with a military power."

"I heard you are a very brave person and there is nothing you dare not do!"

"Braveness does not mean unnecessary adventure." Cang Hao shook his head slowly: "And, if you intercept a nuclear bomb, you need to use a strategic anti-missile system. You should know how expensive that thing is."

“We will provide support within the financial scope.”
