Chapter 777 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land!
2016 years.

The Syrian civil war has been going on for five years.

Five years of civil war left this once relatively wealthy and peaceful country devastated.

Farmland has become a mass grave.

The city was reduced to ruins.

There's an old saying: "In chaotic times, people are worse off than dogs!"

This statement has been fully demonstrated in Syria.

Before 2011.

Syria can hardly be described as wealthy.

It is not as wealthy as oil-producing countries in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.

However, it is not as good as the best, but it is better than the worst.

It is much wealthier than other Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and African countries.

At least.

With a strong and effective government, social order is guaranteed, and ordinary people live a relatively peaceful life.

In reality, most ordinary people don't aspire to great wealth and status; they're content with living a peaceful and tranquil life in a harmonious social environment.

Many people criticize the Syrian regime.

Haiti, an island nation right next to the United States, is a democracy.

But I haven't seen many people go to Haiti.

But Syria's 'good days' came to an abrupt end in 2011.

This year.

The so-called 'Arab Spring' broke out in North Africa and the Middle East.

According to subsequent declassification.

The so-called 'Arab Spring' was a color revolution orchestrated by the United States.

Although the world still doesn't understand why the United States is taking such drastic measures against its allies (most countries in the Middle East and North Africa are US allies), the results are still very effective.

It extends from the Arabian Peninsula in the east to Tunisia in North Africa in the west.

The region has affected almost all of the dozen or so countries, and the current governments have been nearly overthrown.

The worst among them.

Libya, Syria, and Yemen are the three most affected.

Not only have the current governments been overthrown in Libya and Yemen, but the entire country has also fallen into civil war, making it a nationwide battle royale.

The civil war in Yemen has been going on for several years.

Later, the Houthi rebels rose to prominence and occupied almost the entire territory.

However, Saudi Arabia suddenly intervened in the country's situation.

Therefore, the civil war has now turned into an external war.

Libya has been divided by warlords ever since, and every now and then a war breaks out and the number of people who die makes international news.

Although the Syrian government was not overthrown, the civil war lasted for a full five years.

In recent years, the country's government has also been on the verge of collapse several times.

The worst time.

The anti-government forces have already reached the outskirts of the capital, Damascus.

The country not only has anti-government armed groups.

There are also separatist forces and terrorist organizations.

among them.

The Kurds have established an autonomous government in their settlement area. Although they have not yet declared independence, they are already a state within a state.

The SISI terrorist organization has occupied vast territories and several major cities in the country and Iraq, and openly declared the establishment of the so-called Islamic State.

If it weren't for the fact that the anti-government forces in that country also had their own ulterior motives.

It is estimated that this country will suffer the same fate as Libya.

It wasn't until 2016.

Russia intervened in the country's situation under the pretext of counter-terrorism.

It not only provided the country's government with a large amount of supplies and funds, but also deployed troops to help fight anti-government armed groups and terrorists.

That's how the country's government managed to stabilize the situation.

However, eight or nine years later...

The country's current government still collapsed.

But that's all in the future.

Damascus.

Night had fallen over the entire western suburban military airport.

The night sky is ablaze with stars.

But Damascus in the distance was shrouded in a deathly silence.

In contrast, consider the military airport in the western suburbs.

Now, however, the lights are on full display.

The entire airport was illuminated as if it were daytime.

In the past, the West Suburbs Airport would have dared to turn on a single light.

They would soon be attacked by Israeli artillery or air force from the Golan Heights. After all, Damascus is only a few dozen kilometers away from the Golan Heights.

Israel has set up artillery on the Gran Heights.

Then they could bombard the city.

However, since the Russian Air Forces stationed troops at the airport, it has never been hit by Israeli artillery fire.

Israel is a dominant power in the Middle East.

In the Middle East, if you're in the south, you're in the north; there's no one in that country that you wouldn't dare to beat.

But Israel still knows what is important and what is not.

Know which countries you can afford to offend and which you can't.

It wasn't just the western suburban military airport that escaped air raids.

tonight.

Up to five transport planes took off and then circled over the military airport in the western suburbs before landing.

Let alone the Patriot medium-range air defense missile system, even man-portable air defense systems can pose a threat to it.

not to mention.

These transport planes didn't even have a single escort fighter jet.

But even so.

Regardless of the Golan Heights.

Or perhaps it's an anti-government armed group located about 100 kilometers away from the military airport in the western suburbs.

They watched helplessly as the transport plane slowly descended.

More than an hour later.

These transport planes once again took off from the military airport in the western suburbs.

Then it disappeared into the night.

Western suburban military airport.

In a conference room.

The room was already full of people.

Jiang Chen glanced around the conference room.

In addition to more than a dozen Russian Aerospace Force soldiers, several Syrian officers were found in the conference room.

In addition, our own side.

This could be considered a 'three-nation conference'.

Because this is Russian territory.

Therefore, although the Syrian government army officers have higher ranks.

However, the meeting was still chaired by a Russian.

However, this 'Three Kingdoms Conference' did not contain much important information.

Representatives from both Russia and Syria expressed their gratitude for the 'humanitarian aid'.

The conference has concluded.

Jiang Chen then held a small meeting with "Northwest Tiger" and several burly Russians.

This small meeting.

That's the key to this trip!
But it has little to do with Jiang Chen.

His role is more like that of a robot that executes instructions.

Responsible for execution.

However, they are not eligible to participate in decision-making at this time!
"Hey!"

"Comrade, it's been a long time!"

A corner of the conference room.

Jiang Chen was looking out the window at the scenery with a bored expression.

A pleasant voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Jiang Chen turned his head.

A pair of large thunderbolts appeared in his eye sockets.

He looked up following the thunder.

Then I saw a familiar face.

Jiang Chen was taken aback at first.

Then, with some surprise, she said, "Natasha, I never expected to run into you in Syria!"

These two thunderbolts
cough cough.

This is an old acquaintance.

This is Natasha, who went to the Air Force University to "challenge" them more than two years ago.

The other party recognized Jiang Chen at a glance.

I'm also very happy.

She sat down right next to him, her face beaming with joy, and said, "I never expected to run into you here. How have you been these past few years?"

P.S.: I went to another city to learn so-called scriptwriting, but I didn't learn anything and instead broke my car. So I spent the whole day yesterday dealing with car issues. Sorry everyone.

P.S.: Over a hundred words were deleted again, damn it!
