Chapter: 2821
He noticed that the opposition party had parked four helicopters on the central square, indicating that they regarded it as their strongest defensive position. Since the valuable helicopters were parked here, Ye Zhen believed that the eight hostages including Hei Jin Qing should also be detained nearby.
Ye Zhen walked through a recently abandoned courtyard and was about to cross another one when he heard footsteps not far away. Therefore, he immediately took a step back and hid again behind the walls of the abandoned courtyard.
Just then, two middle-aged soldiers in desert camouflage uniforms approached, walking side by side while talking and holding their guns.
What left Ye Zhen stunned was that they were speaking English instead of Arabic!
Ye Zhen didn't know that English is also a common language in Syria. Although the educational level and average education here are very low, due to being occupied by Europe and America in recent years, English has become their second mother tongue.
These opposition party soldiers had received covert assistance from Europe and America several years ago. They even had professional coaches sent over to help them improve their combat skills.
At that time, the coach who came from Europe almost all spoke English, and the teaching materials were also practical in English. As a result, after some time, the English proficiency of Syrian soldiers and opposition party soldiers has greatly improved. Being able to speak English is not exceptional.
One person among them turned to another and said, "Just now on the radio, it was reported that five people died and three were injured when struck by lightning at West Mountain. The situation is very urgent. They are asking for helicopters to be sent over to rescue, but the commander hasn't agreed."
The other person shrugged his shoulders helplessly, spread out his hands, and said, "The commander won't agree. We are currently facing a severe shortage of aviation fuel. What's left can barely cover four helicopter takeoffs. How could we waste one takeoff for two injured personnel?"
As he spoke, he also lamented, "Our diesel oil is running low now. Luckily, the government army hasn't started organizing an attack yet. Otherwise, our helicopters and tanks would only be able to last for a day at most."
"That person couldn't help but complain: 'All the oil in the world is in the Middle East, and yet we're running so low on fuel, it's just too absurd!'"
"Another person laughed and said: 'We have a high crude oil output, but our refining capabilities are really lacking. This time, the commander wants to blackmail the Americans for money, then import a set of refining equipment, and after that, we'll have our own fuel supply!'"
"That person lamented: 'I just don't know if the Americans will agree to give us money, among those eight people, I don't think there's anyone with particularly good family conditions, what if we can't even get a single penny back?'"
"Another person shrugged and said: 'What's there to worry about? Let's just take them out!'"
"As he spoke, he intentionally lowered his voice and said: 'The commander said that if the Americans don't pay up today, we'll directly take out those eight Americans, record it on video, and send it to all major media outlets around the world, so the Americans will be humiliated!'"
"That person couldn't help but rub their hands together and said: 'Ah! I like that blonde-eyed woman, I haven't tried Western women's charms yet! I don't know if there'll be any opportunity to experience it! I've already gone three months without seeing a woman, I miss them...'"
Another person leered and nodded and said: 'I prefer that black-haired Eastern woman, she has a certain mysterious Eastern charm.'"
"That person laughed and said: 'Alright then, let's go take a look, if there's an opportunity, we'll get the guard to step aside, then take those two women to another room, have our fill before saying anything!'"
"Good! Let's go take a look, maybe there'll be an opportunity! As long as they won't be executed for a little while longer, it's better to indulge in them before that!'"
Just then, suddenly a pair of large hands grabbed the necks of the two people from behind, rendering them unable to move or make any sound.
At this moment, the owner of those large hands spoke in English: "Don't want to die, just drop it!"
The one speaking is none other than Leaf Chen!
These two anti-government soldiers were completely unprepared at the time of their conversation.
After all, this was their stronghold, not only did they have their own heavy troops guarding the perimeter, but even the local residents here were their supporters.
Therefore, in their subconscious minds, as long as there was no external disturbance, the inside would be absolutely safe. JrNovels.com
