Chapter 47: Soldiers approach the city
The war ahead was urgent, everything was quick and simple. After the contract was signed, Liu Handong paid the advance payment, Yongchang Industry and Trade Organization supplies, Zhao Hui went to Jiangbei to order goods and helped the customer with something.
At Jiangbei First People's Hospital, Shuiqin and He Jian called a car and picked up Liu Xiaoyong and were discharged from the hospital. At the end of the day, the old man's health was getting worse day by day. He was walking as fast as before, but after a serious illness, he became staggering and was old and had to rely on people to help him walk.
He Jian took the basin, towel, urinal and other debris, Shuiqin helped Liu Xiaoyong into the elevator. There was a fat man in the elevator who was very enthusiastic, who helped them block the elevator door and helped the old man.
After arriving at home, Liu Xiaoyong sat on his favorite rattan chair with a breath of breath. Suddenly, he found something in his pocket. He took out an envelope with paper filled with words. He picked up the reading glasses and looked at them. He couldn't help but burst into tears and shouted, "Shuiqin."
Shuiqin came out of the kitchen, shook the water on her hands and said, "Dad, what's the matter?"
"Look at Dongdong's letter." Liu Xiaoyong's hands were trembling with excitement.
Shuiqin's breathing became rapid. She wiped the water droplets on her body. She took the letter and looked at it. The tears fell down.
He Jian came after hearing the news, and after reading the letter, he was filled with mixed feelings.
The letter is very simple, and I didn't say much. It mainly said that I was still alive and did not betray the motherland. I just couldn't go home because of some reasons that I couldn't say, and I waited for the right opportunity to take my relatives out.
"Hurry, go and tell Ma Ling." Liu Xiaoyong said.
Shuiqin said: "I'll call now."
Liu Xiaoyong said: "What phone call? Let's go and send the letter to the child. It's a pity that my granddaughter-in-law has made me suffer."
Shuiqin dared not delay, so she took the money and went straight to the high-speed rail station, bought the nearest ticket to the provincial capital, and arrived in Jinjiang three hours later. She had always been reluctant to take a taxi and took a taxi and came to Ma Ling's house in Huanghua Community.
Even though he was angry, Ma Guoqing and Wang Yulan finally asked Ma Ling and her children to live home. After all, they were their grandchildren. How could it not hurt? It was already evening. Ma Ling was about to take over and drive a taxi when suddenly Shuiqin came to the door and hurriedly invited her in.
"Child, Dongdong has a letter, look." Shuiqin took out the letter and handed it over.
Ma Ling answered the letter expressionlessly, read it at a glance, handed it back to Shuiqin, went back to the house, and closed the door with a bang.
Shuiqin was stunned. What does this mean and what attitude? Suddenly she realized that she was a ruthless and stupid son, who did not mention Ma Ling at all in the letter. He gave birth to a son for him and raised him with great difficulty. What is the purpose of you, a kid, wandering around outside without a single word. How can you not hurt people's hearts?
Ma Guoqing and Wang Yulan were not very good at their attitude. They hated Liu Handong very much. It doesn’t matter whether this guy is dead or alive, but he still maintained a polite attitude towards Shui Qin.
Shuiqin was bored and had to say goodbye and took the night train back to Jiangbei.
Ma Ling didn't come out to see her off. It took a long time to come out of the house. Her eyes were swollen. She just hugged the child in the house and cried loudly.
Ma Guoqing said: "Ling'er, what do you think?"
Ma Ling said stubbornly: "He is him, I am me, whether he is life or death has nothing to do with me."
Ma Guoqing sighed and said nothing.
Ma Ling was so heartless that she actually fell into the ground with a big rock in her heart. She fed the child and went to take over to drive a taxi. When her partner saw her, she wondered: "Ma Ling, you have won the lottery, so happy?"
Ma Ling smiled but said nothing.
...
In the western desert of Colin, the rebel camp was built in a large number of funds. With a large amount of funds, the camp was built as regular as a US military base, with barbed wire, towers at four corners, anti-aircraft machine guns, and air defense missiles were on guard at any time. The government air force no longer dared to dispatch easily. In fact, the army was unable to seize the rebels, and the ruins of Takikati alone were enough for them to be busy.
The armored vehicle ordered was not in place, but Barnes could not wait. He came over by helicopter himself and urged Liu Handong to launch an attack. Taking advantage of Sayed's anxiety, he overthrew the current regime in one go and helped Ahmad ascend the throne.
"There is a saying in China that you should take advantage of his illness and kill him. Now is the opportunity." Barnes wore a khaki hunting suit and big sunglasses and swore, "After success, you can retire and you won't have to do anything for the rest of your life, because you will become a billionaire."
Liu Handong said: "Please settle the account first, otherwise I will be unsure."
Barnes said: "Friends, your IQ is sometimes hard for me to understand. Now you have the initiative. Are you still afraid of losing money? Ahmed is a child, you are his friend, and I am also your friend. He sits on the throne and you can get the wealth of this country. Believe me, your investment will increase tenfold."
Liu Handong was fascinated by him and made up for various scenes. Ahmed was a simple boy, not as insidious and cunning as Said. As long as he grasped the right position, he could ensure a share of the game of a big country.
"Okay, start an attack tomorrow." Liu Handong said.
The next morning, the camp sounded the horn, and Liu Handong convened the commanders of the two brigades for a meeting. Under the awning was full of officers wearing Sansha camouflage uniforms. The uniforms they wore were all from a clothing factory in Zhejiang, China. Of course, boots, belts, and hats were all there. These quilts were exported in stocks ten years ago, with cheap prices and good quality. They dressed up similarly to the US military during the Gulf War.
Colin's war was very small, and both sides had low tactical skills, so there was no need to formulate too detailed combat plans. The Chief of Staff of the Rebel Army was a former major of the Pakistan Army. He made a random battle plan. Everyone looked at it seriously and nodded and said ok, just do it.
Another Arab-style battle began. The rebel army attacked a government military camp outside Takikati. It started firing between about one kilometer and attacked with mortars and 107mm rockets. The large-caliber machine gun on the pickup truck fired several points in the general direction every once in a while, and there was no sign of the enemy at all.
The Frontier Command is located behind an abandoned house, with commanders' cars parked next to it. The armored vehicles have not arrived yet. They all ride civilian off-road vehicles, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, Land Cruiser, etc., lined up like the parking lot of a high-end club.
The tanks of the government forces are a major threat, but they dare not dispatch the only few tanks. The pickup war back then proved the defects of the tank. They could not give full play to their advantages in the face of a large number of anti-tank weapons and highly mobility pickup trucks.
The sound of gunfire was endless, and the government's fighter jets finally appeared. However, the pilots were afraid of portable air defense missiles and did not dare to fly low. The Air Force did not have precisely guided weapons and could only rely on bombs and machine cannons, with almost no lethality.
During the war, there was a dirt slope several hundred meters away. The ground was covered with white cloth and the words "Reporter" were written on it. A large group of Western and Al Jazeera reporters watched on the spot, with cameras, telephoto cameras, and antennas to instantly report the latest battle situation. There were stalls on the ground, and various foods were placed, just for a picnic.
At night, under the strict order of Liu Handong, the rebels rushed forward in a car and surrounded the two wings. The soldiers were frightened and began to shoot wildly, pouring bullets out, ready to turn around and escape at any time, but there was no movement in the base.
A few bold guys risked their lives to drive near the base and found that the door was open. When they went in, they ran out and shouted ecstaticly: "They all ran away!"
It turned out that the government troops had fled to the sight of the wind, leaving behind an empty camp.
The rebels won a great victory, occupied a camp, seized more than ten tons of gasoline, ammunition, and several cars. In a few minutes, netizens around the world knew about the victory.
Omi and Ma Ling are driving at night, and international news comes from the radio. The Colin Resistance Army captured a base near Takikati today. It is said that King Said of Colin has requested assistance to the international community...
In the back row, a pair of wild mandarin ducks who came out of the nightclub hugged each other and said dissatisfiedly: "On the radio and whisper."
Ma Ling silently turned off the radio.
...
At the Colin Palace, Sayed walked back and forth in the luxurious palace, his hair on his temples turned much white. He thought he could control the national situation with ease and wander between two superpowers, but man's calculations were not as good as God's calculations. The resistance army was already at the city, and the intelligence said it was heading towards the airport. If the airport was lost, Takikati would be completely finished.
He was unwilling to fail, but he had to admit that failure was only a matter of time.
Prince Amir stood quietly at the gate and looked at his father.
Said stopped walking, looked at his son, and smiled calmly: "Amir, go and rest, go to London tomorrow, take your mother and sister, you are already a man, and you must protect them."
"Father, are we going to defeat?" Amir asked.
Said walked over and touched his second son's head: "We have not defeated. War is a continuation of politics. Problems that cannot be solved by politics can be solved by war. Problems that cannot be solved by war can be solved by politics."
Amir nodded: "I understand."
"Do you really understand?" Said smiled kindly.
"So you can end the war by compromising." Amir hit the nail on the head.
Said was very pleased that although his son was young, he had great wisdom and ending the war was simple. The Rebel Army was just the spokesperson for a certain aspect. What he wanted was not the regime, but the interests. As long as he compromised, he could end the war. Before, he was just unwilling to surrender.
"Go to sleep," Said said.
Amir nodded obediently and left.
Said regained his serious expression, clapped his hands and summoned the attendant in, and said, "Let him come in."
After a while, Mr. Richard Thorpe, who had been waiting for a long time, walked in with a graceful demeanor.
"Dear Your Majesty, have you decided to end this unnecessary war?" Thorpe said, "as Churchill said, this war is an unnecessary war."
