44: Magical Place

After Ambassador Hassan finished speaking, Xu Ning on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment.

Ambassador Hassan did not rush to urge him, as he believed such a temptation was enough to make the other party agree.

However, Xu Ning calmly said, "It doesn't need to be that complicated. Tonight, you will receive ten sets of air defense missile systems, as well as twenty of our latest [BH90 Tanks]."

Ambassador Hassan was momentarily stunned, thinking he had misheard, until Xu Ning confirmed it again.

Ambassador Hassan's mind went blank, and he didn't even remember hanging up the phone.

He felt something was wrong, but couldn't pinpoint the exact reason.

Had the other party gone mad, or had he himself gone mad?

He stared at the phone, lost in thought.

Shortly after, the funds quickly arrived, clearly to urge Xu Ning to act quickly.

Xu Ning immediately instructed Commander Tang to begin the transportation work and called Tang Ziwei to start preparing for the production of subsequent weapon components.

In the evening, inside the Iraq Embassy, Ambassador Hassan sat at his desk.

His gaze had been fixed on the phone next to him for a long time.

His heart was still full of doubt.

Considering the importance of the three oil fields, the other party should not be deceiving him.

But delivering these weapons within a day was simply unbelievable.

Even without considering the production time, transportation alone would take much longer.

If he hadn't already verified the background of Longhai Industry and Xu Ning, he would almost suspect he had encountered a swindler.

He looked up at the clock on the wall; it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

"They shouldn't call again, right? After all, I haven't heard any news of weapons crossing the border from the Dog Bear's side."

This meant that those three oil fields might really return to his hands?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.

"In any case, I have defended three oil fields for the country. This effort was not in vain after all."

This should be a significant political achievement, and it seemed that returning home for an award and promotion was now a sure thing.

"Ding-a-ling..."

Just as he was immersed in joy, the phone next to him suddenly rang.

Was it Xu Ning calling?

He swallowed, but still picked up the phone.

Hearing the familiar aka bo language on the other end, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be the voice of the Commander's secretary, the same person who had previously notified him to return home for the award.

"Ambassador Hassan, I didn't expect your execution ability to be so strong."

"Commander Saddam is very satisfied with your performance this time and specifically asked me to inform you to return home as soon as possible to receive commendations. A promotion is definitely happening this time."

Ambassador Hassan showed a confused expression.

Execution ability? What happened?

"Excuse me, what exactly does the 'execution ability' you mentioned refer to?" he asked hesitantly.

"Don't be modest, everyone in the country now regards you as a hero."

"Everyone has heard that you brought back ten sets of air defense missile systems within a day. It's truly amazing."

"Wh-what?" Ambassador Hassan was so surprised he couldn't speak.

What Xu Ning said was true?

How did he do it? Where did these weapons come from? Did he use some kind of magic?

Ambassador Hassan was so astonished his mouth couldn't close.

Could this really happen?

Just who in the world is Xu Ning?

Ambassador Hassan's hand trembled, and the phone dropped to the ground.

On the other end of the phone, the Commander's secretary was still anxiously calling out, "Ambassador Hassan? Ambassador Hassan? Hello? Hello..."

Meanwhile, at the Air Defense Command Center, in Afair.

Lieutenant General Majid was directing the deployment of the newly arrived ten sets of air defense missile systems.

He appeared calm on the outside, but his heart was filled with excitement because he learned that Commander Saddam would personally visit the site to award him a Patriot War Medal of Honor, an honor only granted to those who made outstanding contributions to the country during wartime.

In the country, very few people received this honor, and possessing it was almost equivalent to stepping onto the path of promotion to General.

Not long ago, Majid was just a Lieutenant Colonel, but now everything had changed because of Xu Ning.

Rabbit Country was truly a magical place.

After the deployment was completed, Majid led his subordinates to wait by the airport runway.

According to reports, the Commander's plane would arrive soon.

Under the setting sun, a small black dot gradually grew larger, and everyone's heart rate quickened.

In the past, they had no chance to meet the Commander.

As the special plane landed smoothly, the officers on site held their breath.

The cabin door opened, and a red carpet slowly unfolded.

A middle-aged man with a thick mustache walked out of the cabin. He had a gentle smile, but his authority was awe-inspiring.

Commander Saddam slowly walked down the steps, and Majid led the officers forward to greet him.

"You are Lieutenant General Majid, right?" Saddam lightly patted his shoulder, expressing appreciation.

"I am proud to have a pillar of talent like you," the Commander said.

Majid replied, "Thank you for your praise. I will continue to be loyal to the country and bring glory to it!"

"Very good. I heard that the new air defense system from Rabbit Country has arrived?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."

"They are very efficient. Can you take me to see it? I am also curious about what weapon protected our country last night."

Majid nodded and accompanied the Commander to the missile deployment area.

Upon arrival, looking at the huge air defense missiles, Saddam's mouth slightly drooped.

"These missiles don't seem as powerful as the Soviet Union's."

These words stunned everyone present, and they immediately echoed his sentiment.

Only Majid stood there, frozen, his heart turning cold, sweat soaking his back.

He heard the implied meaning in that sentence: Commander Saddam had reservations about fully re-equipping the air defense system with items from Rabbit Country.

However, because he was the hero who defended Iraq last night, the Commander could not directly oppose his suggestion and could only remind him in a subtle way.

Although it was just a brief sentence, it sent a chill down Majid's spine.

He knew his position was correct, but his heart was still a little shaken.

When he was in military academy, he developed a strong interest in the long history of Rabbit Country and read some classic works.

At this moment, an ancient Rabbit Country proverb surfaced in his mind:

Accompanying a ruler is like accompanying a tiger.

On the Shatt front, inside the Eagle Country Coalition forces' operational command center, General Norman was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, his fingers lightly tapping the back of the chair.

He was waiting for a weapon that could wash away the shame of last night.

Suddenly, a Signal Corps Operator stood up and turned to General Norman.

"Report, three B-52 strategic bombers that took off from the country today are about to reach the target area after an 11-hour flight!"

"Each aircraft is carrying 35 conventional cruise missiles as instructed."

General Norman opened his eyes, a cold light flashing in them.

"Very good. Notify the B-52 formation, the target is Afair City!"

"Immediately dispatch stealth reconnaissance aircraft to the skies over Afair Province and establish a video connection."

He said with a cold smile, "I want to see with my own eyes how 105 cruise missiles turn Afair into ruins!"

[B-52 Strategic Bomber] is a national weapon of Eagle Country.
