41: Sooner or later, something will happen

"Hmph!"

General Norman sneered, pulling out the flag representing Afair City on the sand table.

He would let this small city know how serious the consequences of annoying him were!

...

Three hours, normally just enough time for Xu Ning to take a nap.

But today, this time seemed particularly long.

On the airport runway, Mikoyan-23s, 25s, and even mig-29s took off one after another, but very few were able to return.

This was the first time he had seen these warplanes so closely.

People often said that fighter jets didn't look big, but were actually very large; Xu Ning now had a deep understanding of this, standing beside the plane, people only looked slightly taller than the tires.

It was a pity that he couldn't collect data using the simulator at this time, otherwise there would be a direction for the development of new weapons in the future.

Under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Majid, the air defense command center had re-established contact with air defense weapons in other areas.

Unfortunately, the border air defense network was still torn open by the enemy first.

A large number of enemy planes entered and began to destroy strategic points within Iraq.

Fortunately, they could now at least counterattack the enemy's fighter jets, no longer being completely passively beaten as before.

As the first ray of dawn appeared in the sky, Dawn arrived.

The situation gradually stabilized, and Taleb soldiers, under the instructions of Lieutenant Colonel Majid, quickly escorted the two away from the base.

As the airport runway was overloaded, they decided not to risk trying to fly out of Iraq.

The train evacuation plan Xiao Jianhao had researched before now came in handy.

Upon arriving at the train station, Taleb bowed deeply to the two who were about to depart.

"I apologize for my behavior last night, and thank you for saving my life."

Xu Ning smiled, "It's okay, that was also for self-preservation."

"Lieutenant Colonel Majid asked me to express his gratitude to you on his behalf.

He was promoted to Lieutenant General because of his performance last night and must now stay at the command center to direct the battle; he apologizes for not being able to come and see you off."

Xu Ning thought to himself, no wonder he hadn't seen him since returning to the command center, it turned out he had been promoted.

"He also said that a big gift is waiting for you, and large orders will come knocking soon.

He hopes you can supply quickly when the time comes.

He also mentioned that your weapons are the best he has ever seen!"

Xu Ning replied, "Please tell him that we will deliver the goods as quickly as possible."

The train station alarm sounded, indicating that the train was about to depart.

Taleb stood on the platform, watching the two leave with gratitude.

"This is truly a good soldier," Xiao Jianhao suddenly said.

Xu Ning looked back at him, "Did you understand our conversation?"

"No, but I could feel his attitude.

I've seen some recruits in the barracks who also have this spirit."

Xu Ning nodded in agreement, "People like this will achieve something sooner or later."

After a few hours of train travel, they approached the border.

Thanks to the certificate provided by Lieutenant General Majid, they crossed the border smoothly even during wartime.

Xu Ning noticed that the soldiers along the way cast admiring glances at him.

He repeatedly read the Lieutenant General's certificate but was confused by the word "Musa" mentioned in it, which seemed related to the local religion.

Since he couldn't figure it out for the moment, he temporarily put the question aside, took out his satellite phone, and called Tang Ziwei.

The call was answered almost immediately, as if the other party had been waiting.

"Commander Tang, we are safe, we are now in Tuhachi, how is the construction of the branch company progressing?

We might be getting a big order!"

Hearing Xu Ning's voice, Tang Ziwei's happy laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"You kid, you really scared us to death.

When I heard this morning that the Eagles had started attacking Iraq, I almost fainted!"

Xu Ning didn't expect the news to reach home so quickly; clearly, Tang Ziwei and the others had been following the situation through special channels.

"Don't worry, Commander Tang, we are safe now, accompanied by Battalion Commander Gao, nothing will happen."

"Oh, right, how is the situation with the branch company?"

Hearty laughter came from the phone.

"You kid, you really work like a madman."

"Don't worry, He Fu Ge went to negotiate in person, with him there, there's definitely no problem."

"He Fu Ge came?"

Hearing Commander Tang's name, the stone in Xu Ning's heart finally landed.

"Yes, this is his new satellite phone number, you should contact him quickly."

Tang Ziwei said, and then gave Xu Ning a string of numbers.

Batman Province in Tuhachi is close to the Iraqi border; there are several large factories here, forming an Industrial Zone.

Commander Tang's choice to set up a branch company here was clearly well thought out.

Soon after, they met there.

Commander Tang had recovered well; as soon as he saw Xu Ning, he grabbed his arm, looked him up and down, and after confirming he was fine, he heavily patted his shoulder.

"You kid really scared me; when I heard they started fighting over there, I was ready to find mercenaries."

"Any later, and I would have really sent people over."

Xu Ning responded with a smile, "With Battalion Commander Gao here, what could happen?

Let me tell you, I even pulled in a big order for us!"

Commander Tang's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's great!

You guys rest well first, tomorrow I'll take you to see our new base!"

He mysteriously leaned close to Xu Ning's ear: "You'll be surprised, this time we got a great deal!"

Xu Ning's curiosity greatly increased, but seeing Xiao Jianhao's tired face, he decided to rest first.

They stayed at the famous Handra Palace Hotel in Batman, which combined classical and modern styles and was very comfortable.

The two ordered a lavish dinner and devoured it.

Just as they were enjoying their meal, Xu Ning was surprised to find that Xiao Jianhao, while gnawing on a chicken leg, had actually fallen asleep just like that, and was even snoring.

Xu Ning was amused, but he understood that Xiao Jianhao really needed rest.

So, after eating and drinking their fill, Xu Ning and Commander Tang carried Xiao Jianhao back to the room.

After settling everything, Xu Ning also returned to his own room; that night, he slept particularly soundly.

Meanwhile, at the Iraqi Embassy in Beijing, a shocking piece of news arrived: "What?

I am to be personally awarded the Islamic State Medal by Saddam Commander!"

Ambassador Hassan thought he had misheard.

Or was he dreaming?

The Islamic State Medal was not something you could get just like that; it was an honor only for those who had performed great deeds for the country.

But he was in Rabbit Country, where would he have the opportunity to achieve such merit?

Suddenly, Xu Ning's name flashed through his mind.

Could it be because of that air defense missile system?

Impossible, how could Rabbit Country's weapons be compared to Bear Country's Soviet equipment?

Even if it were given for free, it couldn't count as such a great contribution.

He knew this very well in his heart.

Just as he was full of doubts, the voice on the phone continued to sound.
