Chapter 27
"You are despicable bastards!"
The British jazz, Edmund Allenby, who became a prisoner, was angry at Rommel, who was sitting opposite him and seemed calm.
Indeed, he had to get angry too. The British and French infantry of the three divisions almost failed to fire a single shot, and someone was ambushed. Then, while the plane came to rescue the radar of the airport was attacked and the entire tower was bombed into two sections. Of course, his anger was also because the guy in front of him told him the bad news.
"Is that so? What about you British people? You can carry out a military coup with some small leaders in Iran. Isn't it enough a bastard? On the contrary, we regular businessmen who take money and eliminate disasters are even more bastard. My lovely Mr. Da Ying, are you such a hypocritical person?"
Rommel tasted coffee and smiled to entertain the angry Sir Dae-ying in front of him. His expression was not at all anxious, and he was in a good mood!
Rommel was in a good mood because he heard better news when he came to the ground and air base managed by Rosenick at dawn.
"In our assault on the airport, five razor fighters were lost and eight pilots were killed. In addition, three soldiers on the Devil's Journey were killed and 18 injured. However, we got the host and auxiliary equipment of the opponent's radar, just antennas... You know, those things are so bulky!"
Soldier casualties are definitely not a good thing for the commanders of the international mercenary organization "Thunder International", which is responsible for the loss. The scary insurance and medical expenses are all extremely expensive. However, a radar with a large number of equipment means that these equipment can be sold at a good price for "Thunder International".
Of course, he would not sell it to the local kings in the Middle East, but he believed that the guys in District 51 would be very interested. Because the benefits were much smaller than losses, Rommel was in a much better mood. At least, his ears did not have to be tortured by the quarantine officer Yan Xishan.
Faced with Rommel's questioning, Sir Edmund Allenby couldn't answer.
"This...this is not the same thing. You are infamous international mercenaries, and our British Empire..."
Facing the "John Bull" in front of him who refused to admit his conviction, Rommel interrupted him in a mocking tone.
"You know, Mr. Sir, in the eyes of the Chinese Federation, you are just robbers wearing civilization cloaks and even more open fire sticks. Otherwise, your so-called civilized army would not return with full load when they enter the imperial city of the Qing Empire. And this greed was revenged by our German duke, Mr. Satan Eagle, with principal and interest.
My jazz, please stop talking about these things that cannot even deceive children. Let’s talk about the future of Iran!”
Edmund Allenby had no choice but to refute Rommel's sarcasm and ridicule. Whether it was the looting of Beijing or the looting of the British Museum when Tang Yunyang was pursuing Chinese cultural relics, he could not continue to talk about this matter. But for Iran's future, he fought back against Rommel's sarcasm.
"Iran, General Rommel, I think this is not something that I and you, an international mercenary, should be discussed. I am afraid that no one except your real leader is qualified to discuss the future of Iran with the British Empire!"
"Ha ha……"
Sir Edmund Allenby looked at Rommel blankly, not understanding what his laughter meant. However, such laughter had already angered the pragmatic Sir Edmund Allenby. Because what he just said was exactly the negotiations that would be held after the war in Iran ended.
"You, what do you mean? General Rommel, although I became your captive, I hope you can respect me! You must know that although I am not a duke, I am also a gentleman with status in terms of titles, as well as Sir Don!"
Rommel stopped laughing in time, and quickly apologized and explained his somewhat inappropriate laughter.
"No, Sir Alanby, I am also the earl of the Chinese Federation, and my laughter just now is not disrespectful to you. If you feel my offense to you, then please accept my most sincere apology!"
"Well, since it's a conversation between two glorious gentlemen, I accept your apology. But I still want to ask, what does your laughter mean?"
Sir Edmund Allenby asked with a snoring look on his face, although in terms of battle, he had fulfilled his duties and could raise his hands to surrender. But in terms of family dignity, he was even willing to maintain it with his life.
"Ah, that's right, you probably know that I was commissioned by His Majesty Ahmed Sha, the former king of Iran, to help him restore his country. As for the Chinese Federation, I believe everyone understands and we don't need to mention our relationship. But before the Iran War, the Chinese Federation had promised in the League of Nations to not intervene in Iran's domestic political struggle. But for us Thunder International, there is no problem. We are just to make a living and cannot fight here.
So, while we are warriors, we are also merchants. Since we have accepted the commission from His Majesty Ahmed Sha, please believe that no matter what price we need to pay or what means we use, our goals are unique and inevitable!"
Sir Edmund Allenby understood this time. The other party seemed to mean that the outcome of this war was decided and there was no need to continue.
"No, Sir Rommel is not within the scope of our discussion. If there is no possibility of a political solution to the Iranian side, then please believe that our British Empire and France will unite to fulfill our commitment to the current Iranian king!"
Rommel shrugged and responded with irresistible.
"Okay, as you please. My original intention was to tell you that the longer the war went on, the greater the losses the British and French would have here. In addition, I would like to give you a piece of advice, do not try to increase troops from other colonies in your country in the Middle East, as it may cause unpredictable consequences."
As the full-minded person in charge of the British side on the Middle East battlefield, Sir Edmund Allenby certainly understood the political transactions here. If Britain uses troops from other colonies, it is very likely that it will be directly attacked by the Chinese Federation.
After all, the Chinese Federation can use this reason to join the war, that is, to use improper commercial competition means to enter the war with a company of the Chinese Federation that is conducting business activities.
"Any action that triggers a total war with the Chinese Federation is absolutely unauthorized!"
This is the result of discussions between the French government and the British government, and it is also the bottom line of the Chinese Federation's war against Iran. As long as this bottom line is not exceeded, even if Thunder International is wiped out in Iran, the Chinese Federation will not extend a little finger.
After all, from the political competition of the League of Nations, the diplomatic principles of the Federation of China have been recognized as part of the principles of International Law. For the time being, International Law is not mandatory, but when a new world is born in the future, everything will probably change.

When Edmund Allenby made such a promise, Rommel said another thing that surprised him.
"Well, Sir Alanby, I am very honored to be your opponent. In this way, I will release you back to Iran, and I think the war is necessary to continue, and continue to seize the commander of the other side. I personally think this is not a good move!"
"What, Sir Rommel, you plan to let me go back!"
Rommel smiled and savored the coffee leisurely.
"Of course, unless you plan to have lunch with me before going back, but I am worried that your official duties are very busy, it would be my honor to have lunch with you!"
When Edmund Allenby heard that the other party was about to let him go back, Edmund Allenby couldn't sit still. It was not a wise move to stay in these international mercenaries who were famous for their cruelty.
"No, if I can, then I plan to go back to Tehran now. I'm afraid you know that there are still a lot of official duties there!"
"My jazz as you wish!"
Rommel stood up and generously reached out to Edmund Allenby. The latter hurriedly left here, and when he went out, he was surprised to find that his driver was already sitting in a British jeep.
"These guys are some excellent soldiers who cannot be underestimated!"
With this idea, the jeep quickly left the open base.
Rommel looked at the jeep rolling in and turned around and asked.
"My Chief of Staff Guo, which strategy is this from the 36 plans of the Chinese Federation?"
In the Chinese Federation for so many years, Rommel had long been used to being surprised. Especially those ancient military books, he had never understood where these ancient military strategists of the Chinese Federation summed up the principles and guidelines for military operations.
"This is not from the 36 schemes. It seems to be the plot in the certificate of "Xue Gang Against Tang". However, when they put the enemy coach back, they put on rouge and wore women's skirts...!"
Rommel looked at Guo Songling in confusion, and then what he said made the other party absolutely unexpected.
