Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

Chapter 752 Preparing for an Air Strike
How could Shadam not understand the meaning behind Xu Ye's words?
However, the fact that the Dragon Kingdom was able to send Xu Ye was already quite shocking to him.

As for the fact that it was only Xu Ye, isn't that a bit too frivolous?

Not to mention that Saddam Hussein clearly knew how capable Xu Ye was, more importantly, this was China's attitude.

At this moment, he was no longer the ruler of a country as before; he was like a stray dog, so how could he ask for too much?

Even if it exists, it cannot be spoken aloud; it can only be thought about in one's heart.

After exchanging a few witty remarks, both sides knew it wasn't the time to delve too deeply into the conversation and stopped short of discussing it further.

Xu Ye was impressed by Saddam Hussein's tact and wondered: Is this still the same Middle Eastern madman?

This isn't the North African madman from a few years later. That wasn't a madman, he was a complete idiot. Compared to him, Saddam Hussein is the one who deserves the title.

After all, they had been fighting the Persians for eight years in a proper manner.

Was Persia really that weak?
That's impossible!
When Persia says someone is strong, it's just flattery; they're definitely not a complete waste.

Otherwise, how could the United States have tolerated him for so many years without doing anything to him in his previous life?

YLK has already been defeated!
It can only be said that Persia still possessed considerable fighting power.

Not to mention, Shadak later had a serious encounter with the mold, although he was subsequently dealt a severe blow.

However, to be fair, at that time, if we were to switch countries with conventional warfare capabilities, who could withstand the US military, except for China and Russia?

Even if it's China or Russia, unless a full-scale war breaks out, if the US were to wage a local war, they would still suffer heavy losses.

It's not that Shadak is bad; it's just that the mold is too strong now.

Moreover, it's quite remarkable that Saddam Hussein could withstand almost the full force of mold attacks for a year.

In Xu Ye's view, even though Shadakul only has about a dozen elite bodyguards around him now, he is still an undeniable strongman in the Middle East.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that not only did Russia send special forces to meet them, but the relevant departments of China also sent them over.

Ultimately, it all boils down to their respective national interests.

If he's still the same simple-minded fool he was in his past life, who cares if he dies!
In any case, whether they are alive or dead, they can't cause any trouble for the United States, so whether they are alive or dead is naturally unimportant.

But now, it's very important that Shadak is alive.

As long as Saddam Hussein is alive, it's foreseeable that YLK will become quite lively in the future, and it will definitely be more powerful than the current somewhat chaotic Afghan regime.

Speaking of which, if YLK had terrain like Persia or Afghani, would it be possible for the fungus to completely conquer YLK?
Unfortunately, this cannot be assumed!

"Sir, I have some bad news for you. According to our intelligence, a special forces unit of the fungus started chasing us over an hour ago. If nothing unexpected happens, your whereabouts have probably been exposed!"

Without further ado, Xu Ye directly recounted how the moldy special forces had tracked them down.

Of course, Xu Ye didn't tell the whole truth: at least according to the information he had seen, the American army had not yet discovered that they were Saddam Hussein's group.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be this much power.

At that time, fighter jets and missiles might all follow.

After all, China and Russia both know how important Saddam Hussein is now, so surely the United States is aware of it too, right?
"Damn traitor..."

Upon hearing this, Shadama, who had been in a good mood, immediately started cursing.

If Xu Ye didn't now possess expert-level Arabic skills, he really wouldn't have been able to understand it very well.

If you can say that you can curse in Chinese for three days and three nights without repeating yourself, then you can also curse in Arabic in a variety of ways.

When people get angry, they lose all composure, and presidents are no exception.

"I'm sorry, Xu, you must have found this amusing."

Soon, after venting his anger, Shadama took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said to Xu Ye with a slightly apologetic tone.

“Sir, I understand!” Xu Ye shook his head slightly.

From Shadama's curses, Xu Ye had already learned the whole story, which was similar to what he had seen in the US military system before.

Come to think of it, Shadak was hiding very well before. Even if he couldn't find out Shadak's whereabouts in a short time, he could only start with Da Mao.

That's him. He can move freely in and out of the systems of the United States and Russia with ease. This is absolutely unique in the world.

For someone else, coming and going might be possible, but for Ziroom, it's basically a no-go.

Do you really think these two great powers are made of clay?

It might happen once, but if it happens too often, they'll definitely come knocking and check the water meter.

Then you either accept "recruitment" and serve the other side, or you are killed directly.

Let go?

Who would dare to trust such a dangerous person!

Therefore, never underestimate the power of a country, especially countries like the United States and Russia.

Just like Saddam Hussein, why doesn't he continue to hide within YLK territory?

They're not that naive; if they stay, it's only a matter of time before they're found.

Just like that traitor before, who can guarantee that everyone will always be loyal?

Even after safely reaching Russia, Shadak would not let his guard down and think he could rest easy.

The open war has ended, but the covert struggle has just begun.

"However, we need to hurry!" Xu Ye reminded him.

“Yes, sir, we must leave here immediately!” Muhammad agreed.

If Xu Ye could find them accurately, how much more so would the United States?
It can only be said that Muhammad was overthinking things; Xu Ye was "drawing on the strengths of both sides"!
"Let's start anew!"

Saddam Hussein naturally wouldn't object. "Xu, I'll have to trouble you from now on. I will never forget your help, and the help your country has given me!"

“Sir, this is my task!” Xu Ye said with a smile.

Although this promise seems like empty words.

However, as long as Shadama doesn't want to become enemies with the Dragon Kingdom, it certainly won't be just plain talk.

After all, the only person who can offend all five permanent members of the UN Security Council is a head of state, and there has only been one such person in all these years.

No, that's for the future; it hasn't happened yet, at least not now.

Soon, the group started moving again.

Even though Shadama looked exhausted, he still persevered, trying his best to keep moving.

Transportation?
Sorry, no, I can only walk.

Even if the environment here were suitable for vehicles, Shadak would still refuse to drive here!

It's very simple, the car is too conspicuous.

Saddam Hussein was well aware that the skies over this region were entirely under the control of the US military, and any vehicle not belonging to the multinational forces would most likely be destroyed by missiles falling from the sky.

This is not speculation, but a fact.

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free – that's the US military's current strategy.

Therefore, after approaching the border area, they abandoned their previous means of transportation and began a forced march.

Even Saddam Hussein was no exception. Fortunately, he was a soldier before the war and consciously resumed training after the outbreak of the war, which enabled him to persevere.

However, I was still a little out of breath.

After all, he's over sixty years old.

"Sir, try this!" Xu Ye handed over a small bottle.

"Thank you!"

Shadama took it directly, and as he spoke, he unscrewed the cap and prepared to drink.

Muhammad, who was standing nearby, saw this, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

It's very simple. If Xu Ye were truly hostile to them, they would already be dead. Muhammad knew this, and so did Shadak.

That's why Saddam Hussein didn't hesitate at all.

"tasty!"

Shadama was still somewhat unsatisfied.

Then, Shadama felt a surge of power flowing through his body, and his previously exhausted body was once again filled with strength.

"May"

"Sir, let's hurry!" Xu Ye said, putting the bottle away.

It may seem magical, but it's really just a combination of energy drinks and stimulants.

It's just that the system-generated products are not only more effective, but also have fewer side effects.

Of course, the exchange price for this small bottle is not high, worth ten liver scrolls, so Shadama is still qualified to use it.

other people?
Xu Ye was unwilling to spend money on them unless absolutely necessary.

Despite being interrupted, Shadama felt no anger, only gratitude.

At the same time, he had more ideas about Xu Ye and the Dragon Kingdom behind him.

Of course, these thoughts only flashed through his mind for a moment.

The most important thing right now is to leave here; we can discuss the rest later.

"Joe, the enemy is very fast!"

Just as Xu Ye and his team were rushing toward their destination as quickly as possible, the American special forces had caught up to within ten kilometers.

There's nothing we can do; Shadama is over sixty years old, so his speed is naturally slower.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the other side is definitely a big fish!" Williams said excitedly.

Unlike the smooth sailing of the previous life, in this world, the YLK war almost turned into the Vietnam War again. Consequently, the majority of YLK government officials and military leaders did not surrender decisively as they had in the previous life.

On the contrary, many people remain loyal to YLK and Saddam.

Some people were sent to Russia to prepare for the establishment of a government-in-exile—in this matter, Russia had already seriously offended the United States, so it wouldn't make a difference if they suffered another blow.

Some people were arranged by Saddam Hussein to resist in secret.

Unless the YLK are completely wiped out, the resistance will never be eradicated.

After all, for Saddam Hussein, going to Russia was not just about becoming a "rich man," but about leading the resistance.

Otherwise, over time, the hero's aura will fade.

Therefore, naturally, these people became the targets that the US military wanted to eliminate as quickly as possible.

Of course, in this world, mold doesn't have any playing card-based wanted posters.

The reason is simple: there are too many people, and one deck of cards is simply not enough.

"Requesting aerial reconnaissance and air support!"

After glancing at the map, Joe quickly gave the order.

Having pursued them for so long, they were now certain that the enemy's guards were highly skilled.

In fact, Joe had a vague suspicion—could the other party be a fool like that?
However, this is just speculation.

"Have you rested enough? Let's continue the pursuit!"

After receiving approval from headquarters, Joe gave the order again.

This damn YLK, the sand is too big.

Soon, a Predator drone changed direction in the air and flew towards the direction of Saddam and his group.

At the same time, two F-18 Super Hornets also took off from the aircraft carrier.

"Sir, we may be in trouble!"

At the same time, Xu Ye also received these two messages.

In order to obtain these two messages, Xu Ye has given up the complete set of equipment that he had previously redeemed using a lot of Live Scrolls.

Of course, those devices will continue to work until the set time or until Xu Ye issues the self-destruct command.

At that time, all that equipment will be destroyed—as for whether it will harm innocent people, that's not something Xu Ye needs to consider.

Firstly, Xu Ye placed these devices in very secluded locations.

Besides, these devices are too advanced; Xu Ye couldn't possibly leave them to the United States.

Therefore, Xu Ye's arrangements were not only multiple layers of protection, but also quite powerful.

If innocent people are harmed, then it can only be said that it was fate!
After Xu Ye finished speaking, Shadama remained silent.

Although this was within his expectations.

However, before that, there was still a bit of wishful thinking on my part.

Now that the wishful thinking is gone, the impact of the mold will soon arrive.

"Mr. Xu, I'm entrusting this to you!"

Before Xu Ye could speak, Muhammad spoke first.

"please!"

Immediately following, the other bodyguards bowed in response.

Xu Ye understood their meaning, and it was also Xu Ye's own thought.

Even in the darkness, the dozen or so people were still quite conspicuous.

However, if there are only two people, it is much easier to hide.

Of course, Xu Ye couldn't say this; he could only let them take the initiative or have Shadama speak up.

Clearly, these people are extremely loyal.

As for the traitors from before?
There's no way around it; different people have different tastes, and in a big forest, you'll find all sorts of birds.

Furthermore, YLK had already been heavily infiltrated before the war broke out, so it was normal for traitors to emerge.

"I will definitely get Mr. Sadaki out of here safely, in the name of the Dragon Kingdom!"

Before Shadam could open it, Xu Ye solemnly assured him.

For Xu Ye, having only one Shadama would be the simplest and safest option.

If we really need to use the system, we can just knock out Shadak, and we don't need to worry about anything else.

What if there are a lot of people?
Kill them all!

"Two million US dollars each for your respective groups. This money will be deposited into your family members' accounts!"

Shadama didn't waste any words and made a direct promise.

The families of these people had long been properly relocated to neighboring countries by Saddam Hussein; otherwise, how could he have ensured their unwavering loyalty to him?
After a pause, Shadak added, "Try to survive!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Muhammad and the others bowed deeply to Shadam.

Not to mention that they were extremely loyal to Saddam Hussein, those two million dollars were enough for them to give their lives.

"Sir, thank you for your trust in our country!"

After Muhammad led his men away in another direction, Xu Ye spoke to Shadam.
