Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

at this time,

At the entrance of a five-star hotel in Baghdad, Xiao Zhan and Zheng Zhi stood in the night, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

In the darkness of night,

Several military vehicles sped towards us from a distance.

"squeak!"

The military vehicle stopped in front of Xiao Zhan.

"Bang!"

The car door opened, and Asma, dressed in full military uniform and looking very energetic, stepped out with a broad smile. He looked at Xiao Zhan and said, "Instructor, I rushed here as soon as I received your call. I hope I didn't miss anything?"

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Asma, you're quite adept at using idioms now! Hahaha."

Deng Zhi smiled and said, "It is indeed very good."

Asma stepped forward and shook hands with Deng Zhi, saying, "Mr. Deng, you didn't expect Xiao Zhan to be my instructor, did you?"

Deng Zhi: "I really didn't know. If I had known, I wouldn't have deliberately made things difficult for Xiao Zhan and wasted my $500,000."

Asma laughed and said, "Five hundred thousand dollars is just a drop in the ocean for Mr. Deng, nothing at all."

Deng Zhi laughed and scolded, "Wow, you can even say that?"

The three of them stood at the hotel entrance and started joking around.

Xiao Zhan's face darkened as he asked, "Asma, when will General Mohank arrive?"

Asma glanced at his gold watch and said, "It should be soon. I called him and arranged to meet here, and I told him what you wanted. Mohank agreed without hesitation. After all, I once saved his life, so he will give me that much face. Besides, we often meet to discuss border defense on behalf of our respective governments."

Xiao Zhan said, "In this world, there is a kind of friend who offers help in times of need. Asma, I won't say thank you."

Asma: "Instructor, do we need to be so polite? If I were to ask you for help, you would help me without hesitation. You once said in class that true brothers never abandon each other, never give up on each other, and live and die together. In your Dragon Country language, it's called: 'Brothers united, their strength can break gold.'"

Not only was Xiao Zhan moved, but even Deng Zhi felt a surge of excitement...

He was incredibly powerful in Beijing, with no problem he couldn't solve. He also invested all over the world, and wherever he went, he was greeted with smiles by people or government officials.

But in Iraq, a special region, he really couldn't handle it. Of course, there were many different reasons involved, but the main reason was that the Liu family had a lot of influence there. The Liu family had long been making arrangements there and had close ties with the local government.

"Beep beep beep".

Several car horns blared, and a convoy sped towards them in the night. Leading the convoy was a Humvee, with a fully armed soldier on its roof operating a heavy machine gun pointed forward. At the rear was another Humvee, with the two vehicles protecting the five high-grade bulletproof off-road vehicles in the middle.

Asma looked at the convoy and said, "Instructor, General Mohank is here. What a magnificent entourage!"

"squeak!"

The convoy stopped!

"Splash!"

More than a dozen fully armed soldiers jumped out of the vehicle and immediately dispersed to the surrounding area to begin guarding the area.

Then a man in his fifties got out of the third SUV. He was wearing a general's uniform with three golden stars on each shoulder.

This man was General Mohank, the Chief of Staff of the local new government's armed forces and a powerful figure in the military.

Asma went up to Mohank and hugged him before shaking his hand, saying, "Old friend, it's been a long time."

Mohank said with a smile, "My dear old friend, I heard you've been promoted again, now you're the Damascus capital garrison commander. Congratulations!"

Asma laughed and said, "This is hardly a promotion. My old friend's Chief of the General Staff is the one who truly holds the reins of power and whose word is law. My old friend, let me introduce you to two friends. This is Mr. Deng, and this is Mr. Xiao. I talked to you about some things on the phone, and now you two can speak directly."

"Mr. Deng, Mr. Xiao, this is General Mohank."

Deng Zhi took the initiative to step forward, shake hands, and greet him, then handed the situation over to Xiao Zhan, since he was Xiao Zhan's man.

Xiao Zhan stepped forward and shook hands, saying, "I have long heard of General Mohankde's illustrious reputation. In fact, I met the general once before, but the general may not remember."

Upon hearing this, Mohank raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh, Mr. Xiao, where have you seen me before?"

There are too many scammers these days, and since I hold a high position, there are people everywhere who want to get to know me and curry favor with me.

Some people even fabricate all sorts of bizarre experiences, claiming that they have seen or encountered such people, and some even claim to be distant relatives!

Xiao Zhan certainly knew what Mohank meant.

He then said, "Three years ago, I was a member of the Dragon Kingdom's military observer group and had the privilege of participating in and witnessing joint military exercises between your country and Syria, Afghanistan, and other countries."

Upon hearing this, Mohank's eyes lit up, as if he had remembered something. Three years ago, not a long time, but as a military general, he would still deliberately remember some important things.

Mohank stared sharply at Xiao Zhan. The young man in front of him did look somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Mohank hesitated for a moment before saying, "Are you Captain Xiao, the one in charge of special operations in the Dragon Kingdom's military observation group?"

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "It is my General."

Mohank smiled and said, "It really is Captain Xiao! What are you doing here?"

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "I retired from the military and started doing business with Mr. Deng, so I ended up here."

Xiao Zhan timely pushed Deng Zhi forward...

Sure enough, Mohank looked at Deng Zhi, his eyes flashing a few times, and said directly, "General Asma is an old friend of mine, and I will definitely give you face if he mediates this matter. However, I cannot interfere in the feud between Mr. Deng and Liu Chuanren."

Deng Zhi readily agreed, saying, "That's all I need from you, General. In addition, to thank you and to repay you, I plan to invest over a billion US dollars in Baghdad to build a chemical fiber plant and a strategic highway."

Mohank blinked but didn't say anything.

That seems to mean:

What does this have to do with me?

I don't get any benefit from it at all?

Deng Zhi smiled and continued, "General, the chemical fiber factory makes uniforms and blankets for your soldiers. As for the highway, it's a road connecting Baghdad and Damascus, which can also be called a strategic highway. I've calculated that after the highway is completed, the travel time between the two places will be reduced by more than half, greatly improving the speed of military interaction and strategic support between your two countries."

Upon hearing this, Mohank's eyes lit up. As the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, he was currently worried about the soldiers' supplies.

The key issue is the lack of money. If they had their own military uniforms, they could solve the problem of soldiers' clothing and bedding.

The strategic highways, in particular, were a stroke of genius.

This highway will greatly enhance the military's mobility and mechanization, paving the way for a technologically advanced and powerful military.

Mohank raised an eyebrow and asked, "Mr. Deng, what are your conditions?"

Deng Zhi: "General, I have no conditions, just remove the guards from the Olive Tree Ruiheng Hotel."

Mohank, a shrewd man, understood the implication of Deng Zhi's words, and frowned as he asked, "You're going to target Liu Chuanren?"

Deng Zhi nodded firmly and said, "Liu Chuanren actually hired mercenaries to kill me. If he dares to do the first thing, I dare to do the fifteenth. Let's all rely on our own abilities to survive. If anyone is less skilled, they can only accept their bad luck."

Mohank looked at Asma, who nodded.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan said calmly, "General, to be honest, if it weren't for your sake, I would have already killed Liu Chuanren. Tell me, could your security personnel in the hotel have withstood my attack?"

Mohank's expression changed several times, and Xiao Zhan's words carried a hint of threat.

Mohank knew that what Xiao Zhan said was true.

Because Xiao Zhan has the ability and strength to do so!

Mohank's brain quickly weighed the pros and cons.

After a few seconds,

Mohank said solemnly, "Fine, I'll remove all the guards from the hotel and pretend I don't know anything about this."
