Su Shan didn't seem very interested in Hei Mansheng's departure. She watched Cang Long handle things meticulously for several hours without saying a word.
When Canglong broke away from the busy things, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. At this time, he realized that he was a little hungry. When he looked back, he saw that Susan was still standing behind with no expression at all.
"Let's go eat. High-quality updates are here," Canglong said,
Su Shan just nodded, and then followed Cang Long out. When Su Su came back after handling the matter, Cang Long remembered that he had forgotten someone, so he asked, "Where is Wen Wen?"
As if she had known that Canglong would ask this question, Susu took out a letter from her pocket and handed it to him: "She asked me to give this to you. She has already taken a flight back to Baghdad in the afternoon. But she asked me to tell you that she will return to China soon and hopes to see you in China."[
Canglong opened the letter, but found that there was only one sentence in it. After reading it, he sighed with emotion, put the letter away, and then took Susan to dinner.
Canglong has his own kitchen in the Grand Mosque, but the dishes are basically halal. Susan sat across from Canglong. When she saw the simple dinner on the table, her face showed a little... He was surprised, but then disappeared. The two finished their dinner in silence. Canglong sat on the top floor of the mosque and looked at the scenery.
At this moment, Susan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "You are such a strange person."
"It's weird." Canglong said with a smile, "Why is it weird?"
"At least 90% of the people in Iraq admire you, but your subordinates don't respect you very much. But I can see that although they don't respect you on the surface, they actually approve of you in their hearts." Susan He smiled and said, "I used to think that you would be a very rigid person, and your subordinates would definitely enforce orders and prohibitions."
Hearing this, Canglong smiled, looked into the distance and said: "True loyalty is not shouting slogans on the surface, nor is it swearing allegiance to you, but revealing their thoughts to you from the bottom of their hearts. "
Susan didn't shake her head, but she didn't nod either. She just continued: "There's another strange thing about you. As a prophet, you don't deal with religious affairs, but you actually deal with national affairs. This seems to be completely different from the image you give to the outside world. High-quality update "
"I don't have any religious beliefs, but I respect all religions." Canglong said calmly, "Perhaps because I have no beliefs, I can be more rational when dealing with certain things, and the most important thing for a leader is rationality. Only Reason can reflect fairness."
"Oh." Susan nodded lightly, "Are you ready to launch a war in Afghanistan?"
After watching for an afternoon, Su Shan felt that Cang Long was indeed a weirdo. These religious people were either practicing hard or socializing, but Cang Long was not practicing hard or socializing. He was just bored in the office and dealing with things, so she Only then did she feel that Canglong was strange, or that Canglong was completely different from what she had imagined.
And the things Canglong dealt with all afternoon were indeed all about military matters, and none of them involved politics or economics.
"I don't like war, but some things can be handled simply and roughly, which is better and faster than having a war of words with others." Canglong said calmly,
"This is the reason why you started the war. Have you ever thought about the people who will be affected by the war?" Su Shan suddenly turned her head and looked at Canglong,
Facing these eyes as clear as water, Canglong couldn't bear any cunning or concealment. Su Shan was such a person who made people feel no danger and wanted to reveal everything. This kind of temperament made people want to get close, but It will also make people fall deeply into it. It's not a magic spell, it's just a temperament.
If it were anyone else, he might be asked, or he might just answer directly that sometimes sacrifice is inevitable, but Canglong did not choose any of the two, and just asked calmly: "Then what do you think? Is there any other way?"
"I like a saying from your Chinese Taoism: the behavior is the behavior; the thing is the matter; the flavor is the taste." Susan said calmly, "Have you heard of it?"
"You want to tell me that if I don't do anything, the world will naturally develop according to its own rules, right?" Canglong said with a smile, "Of course I have heard it, but I don't believe in it. I also recognize that the world has a law of development, but this law is driven by people and other things in the world. Doing does not teach people what to do. I may understand it contrary to your understanding. Doing is exactly a manifestation of responsibility. Everyone Everyone living in this world has their own responsibilities, and the process of fulfilling this responsibility is to do what we don't do. High-quality updates are here."
"At this moment, I feel like you are like a religious leader." Su Shan smiled and nodded, but she did not deny Canglong's point of view, nor did she affirm it. The two people's moods had reached a point where they could understand each other. The impact may have been very small, "But I respect your opinion."
"I said, I don't believe in religion." Canglong said calmly, "But I am very interested in many religious classics, because I know that if I believe in a certain religion, it may make me give up. I can't accept other new things. things.”[
"God has not set any terms for mortals. In the eyes of God, there is no such thing as religion. The emergence of religion is just human behavior. I appreciate your view. The true and pure faith is to believe in nothing. , Only in this way can we not be restricted by the rules and regulations set by those people, trap ourselves in a cage, and have no contact with anything. Religion is just a product of interests, but true faith also means believing in everything." Su Shan said slowly , but it didn’t make anyone feel any sense of resistance,
Her tone was gentle, and her temperament was as humble as that of a wise man.
"Believe everything and believe nothing." In this contradictory theory, Canglong was a little troubled, but what troubled him was not the contradiction, but that in reality, many things that were not contradictory at first became contradictory. "This answer will be left to the future for interpretation. I believe that in a certain era in the future, people will be able to abandon the concept of interests and believe from the bottom of their hearts."
"You have been ready for war a long time ago." Susan nodded and asked again,
"Yes, it has been prepared for a long time." Canglong said calmly. He did not want to hide it from Susan, and he knew that even if he told Susan, she would not leak the secret because she was not interested in these fights and even said Her purpose here is not to protect those Templar assassins. This is already clear from her attitude towards the murder of those Templar knights.
"Then Baghdad is just a bait." Susan guessed something, "You killed the Templars just to realize your own plan, right?"
"Yes." Canglong nodded without hesitation,
"Mario is such a pathetic guy. Maybe he thought he would push you into the abyss step by step according to his plan, but in fact, he led himself into the abyss. It's pitiful and pitiful." Su Shanyao
He shook his head and said, "If it were me a few years ago, I would really want to remind him, but now, I think this is necessary."
"Oh, why." Canglong asked strangely,
"Because you are too smart, much smarter than I thought. It is very nerve-wracking to fight with you. What's more, I am just a saint and a believer, and my interests are not related to me." Susan said calmly,
"You really don't know how to leak secrets." Canglong asked curiously. He also stared into Susan's eyes.
"Will you really keep your original promise?" Susan asked back,
Canglong answered, but smiled. Su Shan also answered. Both of them laughed. It's absolutely true. Sometimes you can only rely on your own judgment. If it were the Cang Long before, he would definitely try his best to get rid of Su Shan.
, but now he has no such thoughts. Even if his plan is revealed by Su Shan, he is not worried that Su Shan will leak the secret. This is confidence.
Su Shan was also not worried that Cang Long would not keep his promise and set off a war between the two religions, because she did not see any signs of a fanatical believer in Cang Long. On the contrary, Cang Long gave her the feeling that he was always calm, but had a certain
A firm purpose, but this firm purpose definitely has nothing to do with dominating the world or developing religion.
"Have you ever been in love?" Canglong suddenly asked. He didn't know why he still had time to have this kind of conversation with Su Shan here when the war was about to come, but the feeling Su Shan gave him was...
He is more like a listener. He can tell Susan, a person he has only met for less than two days, a lot of things that cannot be told to others, but he will not worry at all that she will tell anyone.
Hearing this, Su Shan immediately showed a trace of confusion on her face, but it quickly disappeared: "What is love? I think everyone has a different definition of love. I don't know where you are talking about."
A sort of."
"The love between men and women." Canglong asked,
"Yes." Susan shook her head, "What does this feel like?"
"It's very warm, very exciting, very surging, but sometimes I feel it." Canglong looked at the sky and said with a smile, "It's very contradictory, isn't it?"
Susan shook her head: "I don't know. I won't express any opinions on things I have experienced, but I think our conversation should end here."
"Yeah." Canglong was stunned, but nodded, "You should protect the people you want to protect, and I have to deal with the things I have to deal with."
Su Shan nodded, and the two of them left the top floor one after another. Su Su, who was standing in the distance, saw Cang Long and the two finally finished talking, and then said: "The Templar Assassin is here." [
"Let Susan handle it." Cang Long said nonchalantly, "Is there anything else important?"
"The NATO military alliance has just issued a statement that it will definitely use force against us. The reasons are that we broke into the war zone and killed Japanese peacekeeping troops, and that the policy was illegal, and" Su held the document and read,
"Don't talk nonsense, pick up the important stuff." Canglong interrupted, "I want to know when they are going to launch an attack, how Russia and China will react, and what about the Middle East countries."
"The United States has notified the Israeli ambassador, the Jordanian ambassador, the Saudi ambassador, and the Turkish ambassador, and the US Secretary of State will visit Israel next Monday." Su said, "The NATO military alliance is not expected to directly send troops."
"I'm afraid not. I think several countries in the Middle East should send special envoys. We have to wait for the exact time to be set." Su said,
"The best thing is to bring the Americans in." Canglong frowned, "Seeing that stimulating them is not enough, let Simon go to Baghdad to cause trouble and see which other country's peacekeeping troops don't open their eyes and fire a few shots at them.
