In the conference room, Canglong saw Assad again. Badr followed him without saying a word. Assad first gave Canglong a kiss and said: "God bless you!"
"Allah bless you!" Canglong replied lightly. After the courtesy, the two parties sat down one after another. Canglong still asked his assistant to make tea, one cup for each person, but no one else drank. Only Canglong took a sip and tasted it carefully.
Seeing that Canglong seemed to be waiting for something, Assad put down his chief's airs and said, "I'm sorry for what happened last time!"
"No need to apologize, just tell me the purpose of your visit." Canglong held the cup and played with it carefully.
Assad nodded. It was obvious that Badr had conveyed to Assad what Canglong had said to him two days ago. Now there was no need for too much politeness and he could directly negotiate a deal.
"I want you to help us rescue several other Shia sheikhs!" Assad said with a solemn expression, "Because the US military was attacked, the Sunni government forces and the US military raided many of our villages and they captured them.
Many people, even my daughter... my daughter... she was getting married at the time!!"
Canglong finally understood why Assad was so anxious. The previous ones were just foreshadowing, and the daughter behind was the most important.
"What did the Americans arrest your daughter for? Are you going to do it if they force you to?" At this moment, the Snow Leopard on the side asked curiously, "If they are getting married, what reason does the US military have to arrest you?"
Assad did not want to recall that scene, so he did not answer. Badr explained: "Miss Amira was holding a wedding at that time, and our Shiite armed men also attended the wedding, so they fired several shots into the sky, but they did not expect that
The Americans had been waiting outside for a long time. They wanted to arrest us on the grounds that we illegally held weapons and held a terrorist organization rally. Then a conflict broke out. Amira's husband was killed on the spot. Miss Amira and many others
All the chiefs of the Ye faction have been captured!"
"Is this simply an act of banditry?" Snow Leopard couldn't believe it.
"Why would you want to accuse someone?" Canglong didn't care, "Isn't that what the Americans did when they went to our oil areas? They did banditry in the name of arresting terrorists. These things happen a lot in Iraq.
I'm here, so what I care about is, if I help you rescue your daughter, how should you repay me?"
Faced with Canglong Chi's request, Assad didn't care and replied eagerly: "We are willing to allow you to establish a new government in the south and fully support it. In addition... we are willing to serve you as a prophet! This
It is our greatest measure!”
Canglong nodded with satisfaction and said: "There is one more!"
"What?" Assad asked strangely.
"I need my people to take over the Badr Brigade!" Canglong said calmly.
Badr's expression changed, and even Chief Assad's expression turned cold. However, he did not refuse in a hurry and struggled silently. After a long time, he said: "You have to ask General Badr about this! Besides, your
Are people really capable of taking over the Badr Brigade?"
"You don't need to worry about this." Canglong looked at Badr and said, "General, now it's your turn to make a decision!"
Badr fell silent. The Badr Brigade is the only armed force of the Shiites and the basis of their resistance. If it is handed over to Canglong, it will be self-disarmament. Who knows whether Canglong will really help Iraq rebuild in the future? What if?
Does he really just want oil?
While full of doubts, Badr had no choice. Whenever he thought of Canglong's words, Badr became very desperate. In the end, he could only nod his head heavily: "Yes! Badr's Brigade can be loyal to you."
"That's good." Canglong smiled with satisfaction, "However, my people are responsible for training the Badr Brigade, and the command is still in your hands. In addition, I need you to issue an order now to make them loyal to the Prophet. In the future, this
The first priority of this army will be to protect the Prophet, and anyone who disobeys the Prophet's will will be killed. Can this be done?"
Badr's face turned pale. Originally, Canglong gave him the command, which made him happy. But if he gave this order, even if he had the command in the future, he would not be able to command Badr's brigade. But he could only point helplessly.
He nodded: "I promise you, this order will be written into the military regulations. In their beliefs, besides Allah, the prophet, and secondly, me!"
"Okay." Canglong nodded with satisfaction. He looked at both of them with bitter faces, but Canglong didn't care, because when he gave them a good look before, they played tricks behind his back and almost killed him. Now he has to
Control them with such ruthless means.
"When are you going to save my daughter?" Assad asked.
"Do you know where Miss Amira is being held?" Canglong asked.
"Qada Prison!" Assad said, taking out a map, "This is the location of Qada Prison. It is only a hundred kilometers away from Zubair. It is surrounded by desert. There is a police battalion of the security forces guarding it.
, the commander is a U.S. Army lieutenant, and here is the deployment map of the firepower points!"
Hearing this, Canglong's face was expressionless, and when he came to see Snow Leopard, who was standing behind him, he frowned. This Qatar prison was where Vivian was imprisoned.
"How many US troops are there?" Canglong asked.
"About twenty people." Badr said.
"I need accurate figures!" Canglong emphasized again.
"Twenty-three people, affiliated with the U.S. Army Airborne Division." Badr repeated.
Canglong nodded, took the map and looked at it in detail. He soon discovered something was wrong, and then asked Snow Leopard to take out a map for two people. Here is the distribution map of the security force locations and US military bases in Basra Province.
This prison is not far from Basra, the capital of Basra Province, only about ten kilometers away.
There are two security force combat battalions, a police battalion, and a tank combat battalion gathered in the city of Basra. If there are special needs, dozens of various types of tanks can be taken off at any time from the U.S. Army Aviation Base near Basra.
Helicopter, Canglong frowned when he saw it.
There are about 1,500 people in a combat battalion of the Iraqi security forces. There are a total of three combat battalions in Basra Province. In addition to the two combat battalions in Basra, the other one is located near the bus port, the only outlet in Iraq. It is about hundreds of miles away.
About kilometers.
"Kada Prison is only ten kilometers away from Basra. Once the prison calls for help, the two combat battalions and the US military will arrive in less than half an hour, or even faster. We only have less than ten people, and with the severe situation, they will also arrive.
There are only a dozen people, and the number of enemies is hundreds of times ours!" Snow Leopard frowned, "And it's a tough battle, how can we fight this? Even if we just stand and let us kill, it will take half an hour.
What's more, how can others ask us to kill while standing."
"It's really troublesome!" Canglong also frowned, but Vivian was also in this prison. He really wanted to trade Thomson for Vivian, but that was also very risky. If he traded himself, he was afraid of being exposed.
As for his identity, he wouldn't feel comfortable replacing it with someone from the Badr Brigade.
Both Badr and Assad looked at Canglong expectantly. After a long time, Canglong finally said: "How many people are there in Badr's brigade?"
"About fifty thousand people!" Badr said directly.
"There are branches in the four southern provinces, with Basra having the largest number, with 20,000 people," Badr said.
"There are 20,000 people. Why don't you save them yourself, and why do you come to us?" Snow Leopard looked strange.
Badr looked embarrassed, but Canglong explained: "His 20,000 people actually include non-combatants. I estimate that only 2,000 people can really be put to use in Basra Province!"
Badr nodded awkwardly: "Actually, there are less than 2,000 people. If all the four southern provinces are gathered together, all the combatants can barely make up about 10,000, and most of them don't have weapons!"
"I'll kill you!" Snow Leopard said sarcastically, speechless, "You can be a general in Iraq! No wonder you don't go and die on your own."
"Gather all your people together tomorrow. No matter what method you use, I need to see them." Canglong explained briefly, "In addition, I hope you can do what you promised me tomorrow. Do you understand?"
"Okay." Badr nodded.
"Then when will we take action?" Assad asked anxiously.
"This is a military secret. Since I promised you, I will definitely rescue Miss Amira." Canglong said calmly, and then became silent.
The two understood what Cang Long meant, saluted and left. After the two left, Snow Leopard looked surprised: "Are you crazy? Even if you gather them all, you can still attack the prison? This is not fighting, it is sending death!"
"
"Who said we must fight a tough battle?" Canglong smiled, "You are willing to fight, but I am not willing yet!"
"Then what do you want?" Snow Leopard asked in confusion.
"The mountain man has his own clever plan!" Canglong smiled but did not explain.
"But if it continues to be delayed, what will happen if the Americans transfer Vivian?" Snow Leopard asked worriedly.
"Ask Susu to contact the US military commander with a secret message and tell them that we are going to exchange Thomson for Vivian, so won't they be unable to transfer it? We must emphasize that if they transfer Vivian, they will wait.
Let the whole world watch the video of Thomson being beheaded." Canglong said calmly.
"You are so insidious!" Snow Leopard gave a thumbs up.
At the same time, Assad and Badr left the Longteng International branch with a solemn expression. They got rid of a few spies and changed a few cars. Badr said strangely: "Chief Assad, if we
If you promise him this, what should you do if he breaks your promise? After all, he is a Chinese. Although he is a friend of Ali Dai, Ali Dai is not trustworthy. If it were not for the American invasion, we would not get together with him at all.
.”
Assad had a gloomy face. He thought for a long time and said: "Since he is not one of our own, then we will make him one of our own. If he is not willing to become one of our own, then kill him before he controls us."
he!"
"Turn him into one of our own? How to become one of our own?" Balder asked strangely.
But Assad did not answer, but squinted his eyes and seemed to be sleeping...
