Chapter 136: Thirty Days of Hell (43)
After a brief break, Al-Sabah brought together Qasim and me with Saeed and Ahmed. After sitting together, Qasim first pointed to Akmall, who was with the others not far away, and said something. It was like asking Sabah if he should call Akmal with him.
But Sabah's expression was amused, and he glanced at Akmal and sneered, and then he opened his mouth to say something. These words made Qasim's expression look unnatural. Ahmed immediately whispered beside me, "He said. For the sake of his old friend, Kassym won't act anymore. He said that it was Qasim and you who had the final say here, and that the one named Akmal was not even as good as this translator, that is, he was talking about me, and he said that he knew that we were speaking Russian, and he said not to make me mistake, he had been fighting with the Soviets for a long time, and he had not only heard Russian from the radio. So don't waste any more time ... “
Kasim froze for a moment, then a complicated look flashed in his eyes. I think there must be a plan to attack Sabah in his mind at this moment, after all, Kassym's behavior is an act of escape, this kind of behavior that chooses to run away at the moment of life and death in his camp. I don't think any country, any place, any organization will condone this kind of behavior. But Qasim was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and then explained.
Akmar is indeed an organizer, he said. And he really respects Akmall's opinion, and he came to this mountain to find him. Ahmed said.
Sabah smiled and shook his head, and after a few words, motioned for us all to sit down. Ahmed said beside me: "He said he didn't care why we were here. At least we're still together. We all face the threat posed by the Americans, and that's what matters. ”
Qasim listened to Sabah's words and did not explain anything, but sat down as if nothing had happened just now. I think he knows that Sabah is an old man, and sometimes talking too much in the face of this kind of old river and lake will be more troublesome. And I think Sabah has somewhat guessed some relationship or something between our gang, after all, the old guy Younis said before that there are many people like Akmal who have good family affairs or even prominent family affairs but secretly support them.
After we all sat down, Sabah thought for a moment and said something. Ahmed immediately spoke: "He said that he had sent people to find and collect the armed men who survived last night and did not fall into the hands of the Yankees. Next, he was ready to take us to a small village. This village is a must-visit for everyone before entering the mountainous area on the border with Pakistan. What everyone needs to eat, use. And there's everything you need. At this point, Ahmet paused and looked at Sabah, waiting for his next step.
Sabah looked at us and paused for a moment, then spoke solemnly. I noticed that his words made Qasim look a little nervous, and Kassim did a good job of concealing it, but there were still some, like what Sabah said was not what he wanted to see, but it seemed to make him hesitate a little.
Ahmad spoke: "He said, as long as you go into the mountains, you ... It's just us, wherever we want. He knew that the situation was unfavorable. He said that Qasim was a trustworthy man and that the two of them had been through a lot of battles together. He said that now Qasim wanted to stop doing it, which he understood, it was nothing. But at the moment in Afghanistan ... “
The more Sabah spoke, the more agitated he became, and the faster he spoke. Obviously, this guy is a lot more fanatical than Qasim. Ahmed listened to Sabah's words as he quickened his pace, and he said, "But it's still in Afghanistan." There is only one reason why everyone here is here, and that is to fight against the invaders. Before leaving here, it is everyone's duty to fight the invaders. He asked Qasim if he remembered such words. Remember? “
I looked at Kassim, who nodded ashamedly to say he remembered. Sabah nodded as well, and he let out a long sigh before continuing to speak, but this time speaking at a much slower pace. It can be seen that last night's raid still annoyed him. At this moment, he seemed to vent his frustration with the fact that Qasim was about to escape. Actually, I think he's pessimistic at the moment, he's more fanatical than Qasim, but he's as pessimistic as Kassim, and I think he's making the final struggle.
Ahmed, who was next to me, continued: "In the small village where everyone is about to go. He estimated that there would be a good chance that there would be Yankees, or those allies of the Yankees, or people from the Northern Alliance, who had been fighting against them for many years. Therefore, he needs everyone to work together to advance to that village, and together with the people he has gathered, take that village together, and after getting the supplies he wants, they will go to the border mountains together. He said that we have no reason to refuse such an arrangement. If you refuse, it's not impossible, everyone goes their own way, but he assured that it will be difficult for us people to get out of this mountainous area. He said it wasn't a threat, it was a reality. “
I looked at Qasim, who stared at Sabah for a moment and then turned to look at me, who said a few words to me. Ahmed said: "He said he chose and suggested working with Sabah. In this case, it is safest to do so. “
I looked at Sabah, who was looking at us very seriously, and now it really became that we were being dragged together to fight the Yankees. Don't think that Sabah's words are so simple, what is not a threat... If we go our separate ways, this guy might get out the news soon, and then there will be TLB armed people around us, and it will be constant. So what if you kill him and the team around him directly here? War? It's a bit of a certainty, but we're going to pay some price, and it's about what to do after that. We are short of supplies, how can this problem be solved? While people are sleepy, hungry and cold, do you have to guard against Yankee attacks? It's too risky ...
I sighed, this old Jianghu... It's hard to deal with. So I nodded and said, "How far is that village?" How many people from the coalition forces are there? “
After Ahmed's translation passed, Qasim seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Sabah, on the other hand, looked pleased, and he opened his mouth to say something. Ahmed immediately said: "He said that if we continue to set off later, we will probably be near the village in the evening." However, it will not attack once it arrives. He had to wait for the men he sent out to bring in the men or news, and he also needed to do the necessary reconnaissance of the village. “
Thanks to the old wolf for cutting fat again! Thank!
