At such a critical juncture, Canglong arrived late, but no one was dissatisfied because they needed Canglong to issue an order to start a war with Iran.
But after Canglong sat down, he only said one sentence: "All troops will continue to train and immediately evacuate all people in Fao. If anyone dares to start a war against the Iranian army without authorization, he will be shot directly."
This passage was beyond their expectation. All the reasons Vivian had prepared were useless. Now it was Balder and the others who had to prepare their reasons, but they asked surprisingly unanimously: "Why?"
Canglong did not answer them. Susu came out and read a document. This document was about the consequences of the war and the subsequent military deployment. Not only could they not start the war, they also had to evacuate twenty kilometers from the border, that is, Said they simply abandoned Fao.
This was unimaginable to these generals. They wanted to persuade Canglong, but Su Su repeated a sentence: "If there is any objection, execution will be carried out!" [
A very simple sentence wiped out all the arguments in their hearts and told them that Cang Long is the absolute authority here. If you dare to mess around, I will kill you.
The generals left angrily, but they had to prepare another reason to convince their subordinates. After the second expansion, the Prophet Army already had a size of 30,000 people, so they had to go back and convince these 30,000 people that they could not The war started. Although they felt that the prophet was weak at this time, they had to obey this order, and they could not tell their subordinates that this was the order of the prophet.
After the generals left, only Su Su and Vivian were left. However, in Vivian's eyes, the surprise did not last long, but more disbelief. She did not believe that Canglong was a person who was bullied, but was weak and tolerant. Last time the Baath Party She suffered a big loss and was deceived without her noticing.
"If you have anything to ask, just ask." Canglong said calmly.
"Tell me, what do you think? Even if you want to start a war, I know very well that I can't stop you, but you must at least tell me so that I can prepare, even if this is not what I expect." Vivian said, The reason she had prepared for a long time was not used, and she could only think of one at a time, trying to trick Canglong.
"From a military or economic perspective, we are not suitable to go to war with Iran. And I judge that the Iranians are just trying to occupy Fao. This will not hurt our bones. Our economy does not depend on Fao anyway." Oil." Canglong Nai said, "In the worst case, all oil will be exported from Basra Port in the future."
If someone didn't know Cang Long well, he might be fooled when he saw Cang Long's aggrieved expression like a little daughter-in-law, but Vivian knew that the more Cang Long behaved like this, the more it proved that there was something wrong in his heart.
But what Canglong said was true, and it was something she had considered, so she didn't know how to trick Canglong, and in the end she could only leave in anger, and was ready for a war.
But what she didn't expect was that in the next few days, the Prophet Army did not have any intention of starting a war. The people of Fao evacuated smoothly. The Prophet Army retreated 20 kilometers at the border. This is what she saw. At that moment, she I think Canglong is really prepared to endure it this time.
But if she had known that Cang Long summoned the Russian consul and the Chinese consul immediately after she left, she would have jumped.
This is also Canglong's preparation for the war. The war will definitely be fought, but before the war, he must obtain the consent of the two big countries behind him. Don't look at Canglong's humiliation. He said he was asking for consent, but he was actually asking them for permission.
Money requires weapons, and war requires these two things.
As for the two big countries, one has weapons and the other has money, who can we turn to if we don’t look for them? Why not compromise a little for the sake of Basra?
So during this negotiation, Canglong was very polite. Wan Zeliang and Nikolay both thought Canglong had changed his gender. They were still tentative at first, but later they became more and more rude.
"You can ask for our support, but the prophet must agree to some of our conditions in order to support you in fighting this just war." Wan Zeliang said grandly.
In fact, this is what he thinks in his heart. Since you want to act, then I will accompany you to act, and engage in intelligence work. Being thick-skinned is the most important thing. I don’t care if you don’t recognize you as a prophet. As long as you agree to my request, I will
Give you money.
"What are you asking for? I will consider it seriously and give you a satisfactory answer." Canglong said very politely.
But this gave Wan Zeliang goosebumps all over his body. To be honest, he still liked Canglong's arrogant look. At least then he would know what Canglong was thinking, but now he could not understand Canglong more and more.
Of course, with such a good opportunity, he naturally wanted to complete his mission, so he said: "Open legal intelligence channels for us. I know that the Basra Intelligence Agency has been monitoring us, so as a friend, I hope that the Prophet can treat us well."
Like friends."
Wan Zeliang said something in a roundabout way, meaning that you can't spy on us in the future, and you have to give me the privilege of legally collecting intelligence here.[
If the leader of any country heard such words, he would either slap him in the face or kick him in the face, but Canglong smiled and agreed: "Yes, but the prophet needs a loan to support this project."
A loan for war.”
"I will report to the superiors truthfully." Wan Zeliang smiled, because his task has been completed and this goal has been achieved. All future situations in Basra are under his control.
Canglong then looked at Nikolay and asked him what he wanted. Nikolay was quite polite: "According to the previous agreement, we are obliged to provide you with weapons and equipment, but you are not sincere enough."
"What do you mean?" Canglong asked strangely. In fact, he knew it very well. The Russians must have found out that Canglong actually had the technology for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and they were naturally dissatisfied.
"The prophet should be very clear, so I won't say more. I hope the prophet will think carefully and we will wait for the answer." Nikolay said calmly, obviously he was concerned about Wan Zeliang's existence.
"Okay, I will consider it." Canglong said with a smile, "But please don't forget that we are already sitting on a boat. If the boat capsizes, I will be able to escape unscathed, but you...
…”
Hearing this, Nikolay's face turned ugly. Russia had made a big bargaining chip in Basra. Not to mention that if Basra was defeated, the Russians would not be able to get the other half of the reward for providing weapons. The most terrifying thing was the revenge of the Americans, but Canglong
Now that he has considered it, Nikolay can go back and make a deal. At least Soryu is likely to give them the technology of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. After all, the Russian Black Sea Fleet will guard the sea gate for Basra in the future.
The two left happily, but Canglong's face darkened. Su only felt uncomfortable all over because Canglong showed murderous intentions. Wan Zeliang thought that once he got a legal channel to obtain information, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the future.
After all, the intelligence network is the most important.
But he seems to have forgotten one thing. This is Basra. The Prophet has absolute authority. If the Prophet tells you to do it, you can do it. If the Prophet doesn't let you do it one day, go back to where you came from.
Bar.
"Haha." Canglong suddenly laughed.
But Su felt that the murderous intention was getting stronger and stronger: "Why are you laughing?"
"Laugh at my weakness." Canglong said calmly.
Su didn't speak. Iran's invasion made him feel humiliated. Although he was not from Basra, he had served here for so long. Basra was like his child, and he took good care of it.
, of course he doesn’t want this child to be bullied.
But sometimes, they have to face the fate of being bullied, and all they can choose is to tolerate it temporarily, even if everyone says they are weak.
But weakness is always temporary. A truly strong person must choose to retreat when faced with legal challenges, and taking a step back does not mean retreat forever.
Just like Han Xin, he would rather bear the humiliation under the threat of gangsters. At that moment, some people may say that he did not lose his dignity and was not like a man. But that was only for a moment, because in the days to come, he will definitely prove it to the world
He is a strong man, a strong man who stands at the pinnacle of the times, and he did it later.
At this time, Su felt that Canglong was like this. Although he had not been humiliated by the so-called crotch, at least he acted weak. When others made reasonable requests to him, he actually agreed in a good voice, but Su
I don’t think that the weakness of this moment is the weakness of the whole life.
Sooner or later, Cang Long, the lone wolf, will reveal his bloody teeth and sharp claws and tear apart all the enemies in front of him. Let this moment come as soon as possible, Su thought in his heart.
A few days later, the replies from Wan Zeliang and Nikolay arrived. First of all, it was Wan Zeliang, who promised to give Basra a war loan. The specific amount will depend on the war. Nikolay's reply was very simple.
Russia will do its best to provide weapons to Basra.
With these two guarantees, the necessary conditions for counterattack appeared, but this was not the main condition. Canglong waited patiently for an opportunity.
And during this long wait, a man came from Iran, Alidai, Canglong's friend.
The threat of war did not make Canglong treat Alidai badly. On the contrary, when he received Alidai, he still treated Alidai with the highest standards, just like two ordinary friends, without any external conditions involved.[
But Alidai brought a surprise: "The Iranian military does not have a unified opinion on this battle. The opinions of conservatives and radicals are opposed. The conservatives have an absolute advantage, but the radicals have
The president’s support.”
"So the war will still start, right?" Canglong drank tea calmly. The two of them didn't seem to be talking about national affairs, but more like chatting.
"Yes, the president has just taken office and needs to establish his authority," Alidai said.
"So he is going to attack me?" Canglong smiled, "Then you can tell him that as long as he dares to send troops to Basra, I will make him lose his majesty and regret being my enemy."
