Seeing Hamid limping up the stairs, Ye Chen felt somewhat curious and asked casually: "Brother, have you injured your leg?"
Hamid looked back at him, then looked at his left leg, and sighed: "My left leg was seriously injured in a battle. It was hit by the debris after the bomb explosion. At that time, I almost only had one leg amputated.
However, the leg also suffered irreversible damage. After recovery, the muscles atrophied severely and the function deteriorated severely, so I became lame...
"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh: "In a place like Syria, the difficulties of a crippled commander are really hard to describe!"
Although being lame is not a serious disability, Hamid is the supreme commander of an armed force after all. Being lame in one leg will have a great impact on his personal image and prestige.
The biggest impact was that his self-confidence was greatly dampened.
Once upon a time, Hamid was also an ambitious general, eager to make achievements in the chaotic war situation, and even hoped to become the supreme commander of the entire opposition force.
However, since his leg became lame, his influence has declined a lot and his self-confidence has also been hit.
Originally, his team had nearly ten thousand people, which was considered a relatively powerful force among the opposition. However, seeing that he was lame and his self-confidence was seriously damaged, a few of his confidants took the opportunity to incite some of his subordinates to go out and set up their own business, which suddenly increased his strength.
sudden drop.
Sometimes reality is so cruel. When a person has enough majesty to intimidate his subordinates, his subordinates will appear as docile as a cat and as loyal as a dog.
However, once this person's own strength declines and his body declines, his subordinates will develop the mentality of a tiger or a wolf.
Setting up one's own business is considered to be more ethical, and those without integrity will even take the opportunity to kill their boss and replace him.
This kind of thing has indeed happened all the time.
Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, originally inspected the palace in the later Zhou Dynasty. After the death of Zhou Shizong at that time, he had just passed the throne to his seven-year-old son, Emperor Zhou Gong. However, Zhao Kuangyin turned his back and launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, seizing the throne of the young master.
There are countless similar things in history.
The same goes for Hamid in Syria.
The economic development of this kind of place is very backward, and it is also mountainous. The degree of motorization of the troops is very low. Most of the time, they have to rely on legs and livestock and mules for transportation. In this case, Hamid's physical disability is infinitely magnified.
When soldiers were fighting in mountain warfare, he could not go to the front line to cheer them on;
When the troops began to maneuver on a large scale in the mountains, he could not participate at all.
The opposition soldiers were originally from rough backgrounds and needed commanders to take the lead or blend in, but Hamid's legs became a huge shortcoming.
At this time, Hamid limped out of the cellar, followed closely by Ye Chen and He Zhiqiu.
After coming out, I saw an armed helicopter parked in the yard, and all the armed personnel had already evacuated.
The weapons and ammunition originally hung under the helicopter and on both sides have basically been disassembled, and the cannon, which is the main firepower, has also been removed from all ammunition.
The reason why Ye Chen asked them to remove all the ammunition was to ensure that Hamid would not suddenly regret it after he arrived at the meeting place.
After all, the Ye family arranged for civilian aircraft, so it would definitely be a civilian helicopter to pick him up. In front of armed helicopters, civilian helicopters were just like paper. If the cannons fired randomly, they would be smashed into sieves.
At this time, there was a pilot standing next to the helicopter. When he saw Hamid, Ye Chen, and He Zhiqiu, two strangers, coming out together, he immediately felt something bad, and subconsciously wanted to touch the pilot's gun on his waist.
Hamid immediately said: "Throw away the gun, these two are my friends!"
When the pilot heard this, although he was suspicious, he did not dare to make a mistake and immediately threw the gun on the ground.
Hamid ordered again: "Hurry up and start the helicopter!"
The pilot hurriedly climbed into the cockpit and started the propeller, while Hamid, Ye Chen and He Zhiqiu sat in the cabin.
