Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

Chapter 754: He Became a "King of a Fallen Kingdom"...

"Xu, is there any news about Muhammad and the others?"

Then, Shadam asked another question.

It wasn't just genuine concern; there was also an element of performance involved in it, done in front of Xu Ye.

Otherwise, how could he be called a politician?

It's no exaggeration to say that politicians are a species separate from men and women.

Of course, gender isn't that important yet...

"I'm sorry, sir, they have already sacrificed their lives."

Xu Ye did not hide anything and told the truth.

However, there were some things Xu Ye didn't tell him. Before Xu Ye's equipment completely self-destructed, he learned from the mold's information system that the mold special forces team that was pursuing them had also suffered considerable losses.

Of course, the Russian special forces suffered even greater losses, with more than half of their personnel killed or wounded.

This is already very fortunate; if it weren't for being close enough to the border, the casualties would have been more than half.

It must be said that Russia's special forces are quite formidable.

In that situation, not only were so many people able to survive, but the special forces soldiers were also inflicted some damage. If Xu Ye had led the Wolf Warriors, they could have done even better, but they couldn't have achieved zero casualties.

After all, the threat from the air is really too great.

"Oh!"

A hint of sadness appeared on Shadama's face.

He is a politician, that's true, but how could there be no feelings between them after so many years of working together?
Not to mention, over the years, Muhammad's team of bodyguards has saved him more than once, especially in the last year, there have been even more rescues.

After all, the United States was well aware that Russia's support was a major reason why the Iraq War had lasted so long, but if Saddam Hussein were killed, the Iraq War would end quickly.

It's very simple. The initial support from the Russians was for reciprocal retaliation, but later it was basically for making money.

Just like the reason why the United States launched the YLK war this time, the factors on the surface are not convincing at all, they are just fooling people. The real reason is the joint promotion by the domestic oil and military industrial groups.

Otherwise, how would they profit from the war?

As for whether it will have a negative impact on the country's long-term development, that's not something they need to consider; all they need is wealth and huge profits.

This time, Da Mao once again reaped huge benefits.

All these benefits were given by Saddam Hussein, and once Saddam Hussein dies, these benefits will be gone.

Relying on the YLK government?

Where would they get the money?
Therefore, in this war, Russia profited, and the United States also believed it had won...

Everyone else is so excited about winning that it seems like only YLK and Shadak are losing, especially Shadak, whose net worth has shrunk considerably.

However, even so, Saddam Hussein's wealth was still astonishing.

How much wealth can oil generate?
Just look at the Saudi royal family next door to see this!
Therefore, even after being sanctioned for so many years, Saddam Hussein's accumulated wealth is still astronomical.

That's the allure of oil.

"Xu, thank you!" Shadamu followed up with a solemn thank you.

Before Xu Ye could even offer a polite greeting, Shadama continued, "I know your rules; you cannot accept gifts of wealth."

Although, Shadama didn't know how Xu Ye had brought him to Tuji.

However, Shadama knew very well that if Xu Ye hadn't suddenly appeared this time and they had evacuated according to the original plan, he would either be dead or captured by now.

It's better to be dead than to be captured alive by mold...

Thinking of this, Shadak felt a chill run down his spine, as if he could see himself being drained of everything and then sent to the gallows.

Therefore, Shadam must express his gratitude to Xu Ye, his savior.

However, Shadama had also dealt with China a lot. He wouldn't call himself an expert on China, but he did have some knowledge about it.

If Xu Ye wasn't an official of the Dragon Kingdom, then the final gift would naturally be money.

Xu Ye's guess was correct. Although this war reduced his wealth significantly, it wasn't as much as outsiders thought.

It's very simple. Except at the beginning, later on, it's not just about paying out of your own pocket.

Apart from a few poor relatives, most of them in the Arab world have made their fortunes from oil, and they are basically enemies with the United States.

Asking them to stand up and confront the United States would indeed be asking too much of them.

However, if the money comes from behind, then it's not a problem; the main point is that they're not short of funds.

Therefore, Saddam Hussein actually controls far more wealth than outsiders speculate.

Of course, if it were a real comparison, she might not be able to beat Xu Ye.

Shadama has oil and wealthy "relatives," but none of that compares to Xu Ye's "prophet" abilities!

For Xu Ye, making money was basically a matter of taking whatever he wanted.

"I know you really like airplanes!"

"I can't do anything about the fighter jets from Europe and America, but once we get to Russia, you can choose any of their fighter jets you want!"

"The relationship between your two countries is not a major problem!"

It must be said that Saddam Hussein is very generous and understands people's hearts very well.

Of course, in these words, Sadam also subtly made his own demands.

Before arriving in Russia, even in Turkey, Shadak didn't feel very safe.

Of course, this is not only about befriending Xu Ye, but also about befriending the Dragon Kingdom behind Xu Ye.

After all, Saddam Hussein still dreamed of restoring his kingdom!
At that time, as one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, China may not be able to provide military support, but moral support will be invaluable.

Not to mention, he has truly saved my life, and I am mostly grateful to Xu Ye for all of this.

As for the Dragon Kingdom, that's a matter for the next step.

"First"

"This is just a small token of my appreciation, and as you know, these planes mean nothing to me compared to my life, so please don't refuse!"

Xu Ye had just opened his mouth when Shadama interrupted him, saying very sincerely.

"Sir, there is an old saying in our Dragon Kingdom: 'One should not refuse a gift from an elder.' I would be impolite to refuse your kindness!"

Xu Ye, who had intended to be polite, said with a smile.

Anyway, we've already accepted one Su-30, so a few more won't make a difference. I doubt the country will hold us accountable.

Besides, this was my original plan, wasn't it?

Before I could even express my opinion, they tactfully offered it, so I had no choice but to accept!
I have to say, it's much more enjoyable to deal with "tycoons" like Saddam Hussein.

In this respect, even the Russian Empire cannot compare.

Last time, if it weren't for me, that person would have been hit by a missile.

Finally, the purchase price was slightly more favorable.

Look how sensible that Shadam is!
This was all for the sake of not hesitating at all when I accepted the task; it certainly didn't disappoint me.

As for the liver scroll value balance on Xu Ye's system panel, which had already exceeded 500,000, he completely forgot about it.

That was the result of my own hard work, it had nothing to do with Saddam Hussein!
"Haha, that's a true friend!" Seeing that Xu Ye had accepted, Shadama breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily.

"Thank you!"

Xu Ye thanked him with a smile.

Regardless of their motives or considerations, you have genuinely benefited, haven't you?

"You're welcome, this is what you deserve. Now you can start thinking about which models you want!" Da Mu waved his hand generously.

"Is there a quantity limit?" Xu Ye asked jokingly.

"no!"

Shadama did not hesitate.

When giving gifts, don't be stingy; otherwise, the effect will be greatly reduced, or even nonexistent.

Of course, Shadama knew that Xu Ye would know his limits.

In fact, Shadam was hoping Xu Ye would ask for an exorbitant amount—the more the better!

In that case, it wouldn't just be repaying a favor, but also strengthening the relationship with the Dragon Kingdom behind Xu Ye.

"Haha, you are so generous, sir!" Xu Ye exclaimed. "However, in our Dragon Kingdom, we cannot ask for gifts. Please feel free to do as you please; I have no requests!"

Honestly, Xu Ye preferred Shadama's attitude to his genuine excitement about the fighter jets.

It's very simple; most of Russia's planes are outdated.

There aren't many people who can catch Xu Ye's eye!
Of course, it's still possible to get it for domestic use, at least it can be used to farm points.

After all, why not take something that's free?

"Okay, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer when the time comes!" Shadama felt a little disappointed.

Just then, the TV screen, which had been on all along, suddenly changed.

A few minutes later, looking at the somewhat dejected Shadama, Xu Ye ultimately said nothing.

If it weren't for his safety, Xu Ye would have left to give him some space to calm down.

After all, it's not pleasant for anyone to have their country officially destroyed, is it?

That's right, the breaking news just now was that the US officially announced the end of the YLK war and the destruction of the Saddam regime.

As for Saddam Hussein?
They're nothing but a stray dog!

There are plenty of governments in exile; one more won't make a difference.

Although Shadak still has many loyal followers, he is now effectively a "dead king".

……

"Sir, don't be nervous, relax."

Seeing that Shadamu had completely changed and was somewhat nervous, Xu Ye whispered words of comfort.

At this moment, just over two hours had passed since the US press conference, and no one could have imagined that Saddam Hussein, who was wanted by the US worldwide, would suddenly appear at Turkey's international airport.

Even Saddam Hussein himself didn't expect this.

So this was the method Xu Ye had mentioned that would get him to Damao as soon as possible.

Indeed, it was very quick; we took a direct flight with Ming Airlines to Moscow International Airport.

If all goes well, they will be able to set foot on Russian soil in a few hours, which is indeed very fast.

But it really tested his mental fortitude.

Shadak, who prided himself on having seen it all, still couldn't help feeling uneasy looking at the crowds coming and going at the airport.

Using this method to get to Da Mao was completely different from the sneaky, tense, and dangerous scenario he had imagined.

If possible, Shadama would prefer to be knocked out, just like Xu Ye did when he brought him from YLK to Turkey!

Little did they know that Xu Ye did this not only because he was confident, but also because this method was the fastest.

Being quick can often prevent a lot of danger.

Of course, there was another reason why Xu Ye acted "quickly": if he didn't do this, he might not have been able to get back for the Spring Festival.

Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to delay your trip home for the Chinese New Year!

"Sorry for making you laugh."

As Xu Ye had instructed, Saddam Hussein spoke fluent Russian from the moment he opened his mouth.

Originally, Saddam Hussein only knew some Russian. After realizing that he might have to seek refuge in Russia, he naturally became more attentive, and his Russian with a Moscow accent is the best proof of that.

A person who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present. Look, isn't this coming in handy now?

"I understand, it's only natural!" Xu Ye smiled slightly. "Please trust my skills!"

Upon hearing this, and seeing Xu Ye, who had also changed his appearance, Shadama's initial nervousness vanished instantly.

If it weren't for witnessing Xu Ye gradually transform himself into his current form, Shadak would never have believed that such an incredible disguise technique existed in the world.

However, for Xu Ye, who possesses expert-level makeup skills and access to the system's online store, this was not difficult at all.

Fortunately, the amount of "cosmetics" redeemed from the system store was quite large; otherwise, Xu Ye would have really felt the pinch for a long time—high-tech products that are many years ahead of the present are really not cheap!
Compared to that, things like real passports are simply not worth mentioning.

Half an hour later, the two successfully passed through security and entered the waiting area.

After arriving here, Shadam's anxiety was largely relieved.

If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, he really would have given Xu Ye a big hug.

However, now is not the time to relax; we absolutely cannot open the champagne halfway through.

Fortunately, although the following period was a bit tough, nothing unexpected happened.

After all, no one would have expected that Shadak would appear at the Turkish Capital International Airport, thousands of miles away.

In Da Mao's view, Shadam is likely already dead.

If it weren't for the fact that the Chief of the General Staff of the Dragon Kingdom had confidence in Xu Ye, he would probably be feeling similarly at this moment.

Who would have thought that Xu Ye was sitting in the VIP waiting room of Beijing Capital International Airport, enjoying the air conditioning, drinking coffee, and chatting?

The reason why Xu Ye did not report to the domestic authorities, or rather, after Xu Ye officially took action, he almost never reported to the domestic authorities.

This matter is of great importance, and for his own safety, Xu Ye felt that the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

There's nothing we can do; there are just too many traitors!

Although Xu Ye managed to report some names through various means and ruthlessly purged a group of people.

But that's all he knows.

What he doesn't know?

It was precisely because of those shocking handling incidents that Xu Ye became even more cautious.

Have faith in yourself!
In any case, Xu Ye doesn't need domestic support most of the time when carrying out missions; he just needs to let everyone know he's safe occasionally.

This mission requires even greater caution.

On this point, the leader also strongly supports Xu Ye's approach, or rather, when choosing Xu Ye, he was already mentally prepared to accept what Xu Ye would do.
