The strongest soldier

The scorching sun was in the sky, scorching the earth, squeezing out every trace of moisture between the sky and the earth. The sultry air seemed to be on fire at the drop of a hat, and a heat wave appeared on the vast desert ground. Ahab opened the tent curtain, and the bright sunlight shone through, making it difficult to open his eyes. A wave of heat hit his eyes, like a fire entering his body. It was extremely uncomfortable. Ahab squinted his eyes slightly. After he got used to the sunlight outside, he could see everything at the door clearly, and his face became gloomy.

A man at the door was blocked by his own guard. He was saying something dissatisfied with an arrogant and arrogant expression. This made Ahab very angry and he came forward dissatisfied. When the captain of the guard saw Ahab coming, his face lit up and he hurried forward. Whispered: "Report, they want to see you."

"Got it." Ahab waved his hand and stepped forward, looking coldly at a tall and burly man. The man was definitely over 1.8 meters tall, as strong as an ox, with a bald head, a dark face, and very white teeth. He is a black man, wearing a camouflage uniform, with a pistol and combat boots on his waist. He has a bad expression and exudes a faint cold aura, like a wild beast.

Ahab recognized the other party, took a few steps forward and said dissatisfiedly: "What? Do you think I am your back garden?"

"Hey - my boss is looking for you." The other party said disdainfully, without waiting for Ahab's reply, he turned around and left, as if it didn't matter whether Ahab came or not.

Ahab's face turned cold and he stared at the opponent's back with a fierce look in his eyes. The captain of the guard next to him also turned ugly and whispered: "How about it?" He made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Don't mess around." Ahab said in a deep voice, and walked forward, but his heart became even more irritated. He was just a bodyguard, and he was so arrogant. The master behind him couldn't be more difficult to serve? Is it really right to cooperate with such a person? After being reminded by the elder, Ahab was shaken for the first time in his original choice. Thinking of the huge power behind the other party, Ahab quickly gathered his mood and hurriedly followed.

As a tyrant who dominates a party, Ahab can move and retract, and he followed the opponent for a distance. Many bodyguards appeared in front of him. They all looked at Ahab with unkind expressions, and then looked around. Ahab could feel it. These people are not simple, and they are secretly vigilant.

Soon, Ahab came to the door of a tent. The leader made an announcement and motioned for Ahab to go in after getting permission. However, he stood at the door. Ahab was completely angered by the rudeness of the other party. He was the overlord of the other party and the other party said hello. You just have to come, and if you don’t go out to greet you when you come, what does that count? But his face remained calm and he took a deep breath, suppressed his dissatisfaction, opened the heavy curtain and walked in.

"Your Excellency, come, please take a seat." A man wearing a silver mask in the tent said solemnly.

Ahab pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Are you looking for me?"

"Don't dare, the weather is really too hot. At my age, I can't stand the sun exposure, so I have to ask you to come over and have a talk. I hope it doesn't affect your work." The masked man said with a smile, his tone was calm, as if He was trying to defend himself, but it also seemed like he didn't take Ahab seriously at all.

Ahab was even more angry in his heart, "You are afraid of being exposed to the sun, but I am not afraid of it?" But he didn't show it at all on his face. He put on a warm smile and said, "It's okay. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"You must have calculated the statistics of the previous battle, right? Speaking of which, I suffered the most losses. None of the one hundred tanks returned, not a single one of the six hundred death squads was left, and none of the more than two hundred tank crews returned. Of course, You also sacrificed more than five hundred people, right?" The masked man said calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, and his eyes were looking ahead into nothingness, without even looking at Ahab.

This move of the masked man made Ahab even more angry. He secretly took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and pretended to be in pain and said: "Yes, we have suffered a lot in this battle, and I am deeply sorry for your losses." , I will compensate you in accordance with the agreement later."

"Thank you very much. What do you have in mind next?" the masked man said calmly.

"The enemy is powerful. It's completely different from what you told me before." Ahab nodded calmly, staring at the opponent secretly.

"Really? Do you mean to give up and continue the attack? Or do you blame us for not getting accurate information beforehand?" The masked man slowly turned around, looked at Ahab and said, his tone a little more dissatisfied.

"Don't dare. The battlefield is changing rapidly. There is no absolutely accurate information. However, the enemy is powerful. We don't have tanks or helicopters and we are worried about the opponent's anti-aircraft missiles. This battle is not easy to fight. Along the way, there are only two of the five thousand people left. With less than a thousand men, I suffered heavy losses and the morale of the troops was not high." Ahab cried out in pain.

"What do you mean?" The masked man's tone was a little cold and he asked dissatisfiedly.

"Why don't we stop fighting? Our front line is too long and we can't transport supplies. Before we came, we received intelligence that another transport convoy was ambushed by the enemy and all the supplies were stolen by them. With the supplies we have now, we can at best If you persist for two days, what will you use to fight the enemy after two days?" Ahab explained.

"Cease the war? You give up after such a slight setback. Your decision disappoints me. Do I have to reconsider the cooperation?" The masked man said in a dissatisfied voice.

"What do you mean?" Ahab asked calmly.

"You have two choices. One, give up cooperating with us, but you can guess what the result will be; two, continue the attack, Mr. Ahab, which one will you choose?" The masked man said in a dissatisfied voice, exposed to the There was a cold and fierce light shining in the eyes outside the mask.

"Are you threatening me?" Ahab was not a good person, and a surge of anger rushed to the top of his head. He said coldly: "Don't forget our cooperation agreement. You help me unify the entire country. I will give you oil convenience. Your Assistance includes weapons, ammunition and people. Where are the people? Where are the weapons? Don't tell me that there are only a hundred tanks and hundreds of death squads. Without more support, do you think you can kill the enemy outside?"

"I can easily mobilize tanks. Do you think I can easily mobilize fighter jets? I heard that your tribe lives on the shores of Saint Lady Lake, where the land is fertile and the territory is vast. How many missiles do you think are needed?" The masked man sneered disdainfully, A cold light flashed in the eyes exposed outside the mask.

Ahab was shocked in his heart, and suddenly realized that he had been plotted by the opponent. Coming to attack the oil field was just an excuse, and tying himself to the opponent's chariot was the real thing. The plan was probably not small, and he couldn't help but trembled, thinking about the elder's previous Then, his face darkened, and he said coldly: "I'm afraid you're not here for the oil, are you? That group of people outside should be your enemies, right?"
