Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

It was an ordinary apartment, but for some people it was anything but ordinary.

It's quite simple. In that seemingly ordinary apartment building, one of the windows offers a view of Red Square and the Spasskaya Gate of the Kremlin.

Before heading to Saddam Estate, Xu Ye spent two days "strolling" around Moscow. While it seemed like he was just wandering around, he was actually scouting some key locations in Moscow.

For example, for a normal sniper, some suitable sniping locations,

As for why we emphasize "normal snipers"?

It's simple, Xu Ye is an abnormal sniper.
To ensure a high success rate, snipers typically avoid shooting targets at distances exceeding 500 meters. Any further, and achieving a fatal kill with a single shot becomes extremely difficult.

But Xu Ye is different!

For him, as long as the target is within the effective range of the sniper rifle, he basically doesn't need to worry about whether he can hit the target.

In this way, if Xu Ye wanted to use sniping, he would have far more options than a normal sniper.

Using the target as the center, the farther away you are, the more suitable positions you will find, and the less likely you are to attract the attention of the enemy's guards.

However, this time, Xu Ye was on the defensive, not the offensive side, and all he needed to do was eliminate the targets according to the intelligence he had gathered last night.

The failed bombing attempt further strengthened Xu Ye's trust in the intelligence he had gathered the previous night.

Of course, it's impossible to completely believe that.

"Team B, how much longer until you're in position?" Xu Ye asked in a low voice.

Just now, Xu Ye had already sent the apartment information where the target might be located to Group B.

Today, he is being used as a trump card; Xu Ye will not make a move unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, eliminating any potential snipers naturally falls to the bodyguards.

Group A has passed the assessment and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, should be on their way back to the manor. Next up is Group B.

These individuals were not randomly selected by Xu Ye; they were the most outstanding performers in this special training so far. Not everyone is qualified for Xu Ye to personally lead and command the operation, and this can be considered a reward for their hard work.

Roll it up, it has to be rolled up. Xu Ye has extensive experience in making liver rolls.

"Instructor, two minutes!"

The voice of the Group B leader then rang out.

"OK!"

Xu Ye responded.

Then, he opened the car door and left.

Next, he went to his proper place.

Having promised Shadama to ensure his safety, he naturally couldn't go back on his word.

"Instructor, we are in position!"

Less than two minutes later, the voice of the Group B leader rang out again.

"Ok!"

Xu Ye was somewhat satisfied. "We can start anytime!"

At this point, it was not long before Saddam Hussein's convoy entered Red Square.

At this moment, Xu Ye had already blended into the crowd of tourists in Red Square, completely unremarkable, and did not attract the attention of Mao's sentries, both overt and covert.

On the other side, after receiving Xu Ye's permission, the two members of Group B quickly finished their training session, which was even simpler than their usual practice.

After all, during regular training, the imaginary opponent they faced was Xu Ye.

Even though Xu Ye had already suppressed his strength, he still found ways to torment them, and rarely won.

Now, when it comes to actual combat, they realize that they have indeed become much stronger.

In the past, completing such a task might not have been a problem, but to do it as easily as this, and more importantly, to capture the enemy alive, would have been almost impossible.

"Instructor, we've caught a sniper!"

With a burst of excitement, the leader of Team B kicked the unconscious sniper. Looking out the window towards the Kremlin, he saw President Saddam Hussein's motorcade enter Red Square and head towards the Kremlin.

As for the instructors, he did not find them.

"Well done, congratulations, you passed the test. Take your men back, and be careful on the road!"

He didn't notice Xu Ye, but Xu Ye caught a glimpse of his head and whispered a compliment.

Two against one, an expected result.

"Yes, Instructor!"

The leader of Group B said excitedly.

Passing the assessment not only relieved the pressure on him, but also filled him with anticipation.

The expectation of rewards and further improvement in ability.

"Oh!"

Xu Ye, who had also noticed the Saddam convoy, was slightly surprised.

It's simple, because Xu Ye saw the man's figure appear at the Spasskaya Gate of the Kremlin, clearly preparing to welcome Saddam Hussein.

This sudden turn of events surprised Xu Ye, but also brought him a sense of relief.

Even if there are still some who have slipped through the net, they dare not continue their actions.

It's very simple; no one dares to fire a gun in front of that man, as that would trigger a global crisis.

Once this was confirmed, Xu Ye was quickly separated from the other tourists by Russian officials.

In this situation, leaving was out of the question. Like the other tourists, Xu Ye craned his neck to look over.

Who says foreigners don't like watching a spectacle?

A few minutes later, a simple yet solemn welcoming ceremony came to an end, and the two walked hand in hand into the Kremlin. With the excitement over, Xu Ye dispersed like the other tourists.

"Haha, I see!"

Arriving at a nearby hotel, Xu Ye booked a room for an hour. After checking online, Xu Ye chuckled.

The reason is simple: the US held a press conference and announced the formal end of the Iraq War.

So, it's nothing serious.

However, at the press conference, the spokesperson subtly and overtly criticized Mao Zedong.

Naturally, the Russians could not tolerate this and launched a swift and fierce counterattack.

And so came the incident where that man personally greeted Saddam Hussein at the Kremlin. As for Saddam, it's hard to say whether he should thank America or hate America even more...

I still hate it a little bit more!
After all, if it weren't for the two wars waged by the United States, Saddam Hussein would never have ended up in this state.

To be fair, Saddam Hussein's claim to be the world's third-strongest military power was certainly an exaggeration. However, by the end of the Iran-Iraq War, Saddam's military strength was certainly enough to bully its neighboring countries. Take Persia, for example, which was subjugated by Iraq for eight years; it became a military power in the future, frequently exerting influence abroad.

Of course, when facing the United States, they still suffer losses time and again.

But how many countries on this planet can avoid being taken advantage of by the United States?
It's just a matter of whether the loss is bigger or smaller!
Even if it's Russia, isn't that the same?

Militarily, they dare not attack you, but in many aspects such as economy and culture, they are subject to sanctions by the United States.

As for sanctions, the initiative always lies with the stronger party.

"However, the real show is just beginning!"

Xu Ye sneered and put away his equipment with a thought.

The war is over, but the war has only just begun, okay?

Given the current situation, as long as the US military doesn't withdraw from Iraq, it will inevitably suffer casualties every day.

During this period, Xu Ye not only gave special training to the bodyguards, but also frequently communicated with Saddam.

At first, Shadama talked more, but later he mostly asked Xu Ye for advice.

Xu Ye didn't say anything particularly strange; he simply told him about the anti-Japanese resistance behind enemy lines in China back then.

For Saddam Hussein, it was like finding a treasure; his mind was immediately opened up.

Xu Ye was naturally even more eager for her, and he offered her an annual salary of one hundred million US dollars.

It's very simple. Before, Shadak valued Xu Ye's protection of his life more.

But after getting to know Xu Ye better, Shadam realized that Xu Ye was capable enough to serve as a minister.

Such a talented individual would naturally be extremely attractive to Saddam Hussein.

Unfortunately, Xu Ye still refused to budge, leaving Shadam helpless.

The unattainable is always the most alluring, and Shadak still had no selfish motives in poaching Xu Ye.

Of course, Saddam Hussein wouldn't and wouldn't dare to use any underhanded methods; he could only focus on sincerity and money.

When Xu Ye changed his clothes and came out of the hotel, Saddam Hussein's convoy had already left the Kremlin.

The meeting lasted only a little over an hour.

It may seem like a small amount, but for a busy leader of a major country, it is quite a lot.

As far as Xu Ye knew, the two sides had only met for less than half an hour at first.

The journey was uneventful!
Saddam Hussein's convoy returned safely and smoothly to his estate outside Moscow. A few minutes later, Xu Ye's car followed them in.

The man's emphasis on Saddam Hussein forced some organizations to make changes, but Xu Ye didn't notice anything unusual.

If someone can escape Xu Ye's observation, it's either because they have extraordinary strength or because they are truly safe. Xu Ye leans towards the latter.

If the moment the Russians express their stance, Shadam encounters danger, it would be as if that man, and indeed the entire Russian population, had been utterly humiliated and crushed.

This is impossible!

If it were more than ten years later, after the "two-mao conflict," when Mao Zedong had lost too much face and its deterrent power had greatly diminished, it might be possible.

But now, let alone "any Tom, Dick, or Harry," even the United States wouldn't dare to provoke Russia in such a way.

In fact, the current United States is somewhat similar to the Russia that Xu Ye traveled through time to.

So, where is it similar?

It's very simple. Whether it's the Russians in the past or the Americans in this Iraq War, both sides are in a mess!
That's right, it's burnt!

In my previous life, before the "Clash between the two Maos," the international community generally believed that the two Maos were about to collapse, as the two sides were not even in the same league.

However, even when Xu Ye died, the end of this "conflict" seemed a long way off.

In this world, although the United States won the Iraq War, it was a hard-won victory.

Despite the fact that many analysts believed Saddam Hussein wouldn't be defeated so quickly at the beginning of the war.

However, you should basically listen to these analysts in reverse; most of the time, they're just a joke.

Given the disparity in strength between the two sides, how could Shadak possibly stand a chance?
However, no one expected that the United States would dare to repeat its old tricks and "accidentally" bomb another country's embassy!

It's fine if it gets fried, but unfortunately it's the big shot who got fried.

Adding to the previous attack on that man and the collision incident in the Far East Whale Sea, Russia was dragged into the mess.

Although, to date, the US military has not yet determined why it "accidentally" bombed Russia.

However, the result was that the US military suffered huge losses.

That's right, Russia didn't directly participate in the war, but the support it received behind the scenes was very real.

Saddam Hussein provided the money, while Russia provided the personnel and equipment, helping Iraq retain its most important air superiority and making the situation less one-sided in areas such as information warfare.

This directly disrupted the United States' operational plan to sweep through Iraq, dragging the war on for almost a year before it ended.

For the United States, to struggle so much against Iraq has shattered the myth of the US military's invincibility in information-based and modern warfare. Isn't this a disastrous defeat?
It turns out that high-tech warfare is only effective at bullying small countries. When facing opponents of equal strength, it still has to return to the traditional war situation of give and take.

"My brother, Father requests your presence!"

As soon as he parked the car, Ku Sai walked over with a smile and gave Xu Ye a big hug.

Clearly, Cooley already knew what had just happened.

"Amazing, absolutely amazing!" Coolsai exclaimed, waving his arms exaggeratedly.

Of course, Xu Ye only thought this was a bit exaggerated; in Kusai's opinion, it was not exaggerated at all.

Without making a sound, Xu Ye neutralized both attacks, something that would have been impossible in the past, in Ku Sai's opinion.

What shocked Ku Sai even more was the intelligence capabilities of the Dragon Kingdom—he didn't know that Xu Ye had actually found out about it himself.

It's astonishing that Kusai could produce information that even the Russian side lacked concrete details about.
Don't forget, this is Russia, the home ground of Russia's security services.

"Come on, let's hurry up and see Mr. Dalmatian!"

Seeing that Ku Sai was about to speak, Xu Ye quickly interrupted him.

what is this?
In Xu Ye's view, this was just an ordinary attack. It wasn't that the US intelligence agency sent people directly; it was just some assassins that could be hired for a fee. What was so surprising about it?

Such an action is hardly even worth mentioning among Xu Ye's previous actions.

"Okay, let's go see Father first, and then we'll celebrate properly tonight!"

Ku Sai realized what was happening and followed Xu Ye's steps, still talking excitedly.

Having thwarted an assassination attempt against his father, Ku Sai felt it was something to celebrate, and his father would surely be happy to see his relationship with Xu Ye become even closer.

There are some things that Shadakul can't do due to his age and status, but if it were Kosai, there wouldn't be any problem.

He was a bit big, but that didn't stop Ku Sai from affectionately calling Xu Ye "my brother"! (End of Chapter)
