Ten minutes later on the outskirts of Reka, which had been completely darkened and suddenly lost its power supply, Buck was driving up the road east in the pickup truck with a bullet hole in the front windshield, and the fuel tank was full, as the old man had said.

In such a chaotic place, having a car with a full tank of gas suddenly creates a sense of freedom that the world is as big as it can be roamed anywhere!

Buck turned off the headlights and relied on the moonlight as much as he could, and had moved to the co-pilot's child with a new bandage on his head, Buck deliberately let him carry the backpack on his chest could only offset some of the impact, and when the militant driving the car was killed, the out-of-control pickup truck crashed into the side of the road, which still caused him a little head injury.

But even so, the child could not hide his excitement: "Are you a holy warrior?!Are you going to kill the infidels?"

Living in a city like Reka, maybe the old man can judge the right and wrong of the IS army with his own life experience and choose to avoid it silently, but for children, for children who do not have a complete outlook on life and thinking ability, they are the most likely to be brainwashed.

Buck was a little silent: "Sit down...... We have other things to do next, and you should go to the cure soon. ”

The kid couldn't stop but reached for Buck's rifle in the front seat, but Buck reached out and knocked it off: "This is not something you should touch at this time!"

Acheka pouted a little and began to sob, "Grandpa...... I want Grandpa ......" and it was clear that the sound of crying immediately began to amplify.

Buck was tormented: "Hey, your grandfather told you that you have to go out for treatment and then you can come back to your grandfather." ”

How could the child reason with him, who was already sitting in the passenger seat and began to cry: "Grandpa! you are all liars...... Grandpa is dying! Grandpa is dying...... To send me away, grandpa died......"

It turns out that the child who has been sitting next to him and can understand only a few words understands everything!

It seems that his English skills are not bad, but in Syria, English is indeed the lingua franca on a par with Arabic.

Buck, who had no experience in dealing with children of this age, scratched his head vigorously: "It's okay not to cry?" In response to him, a more high-pitched cry seemed to spread far and wide in the endless desert, Buck felt that his eardrum was about to burst, and the corners of his mouth moved, so he chose to simply wait for the child to cry by himself, to see how long he could howl.

But Buck still underestimated the child's child's insistence, and it was he who quickly surrendered, and the situation of the high decibel intensification made Buck almost collapse, reached out and pulled down the magazine, jumped out of the chamber with one hand, and threw the rifle over: "Play, play, play!"

Achika miraculously stopped crying immediately, but the quiet carriage only drove for a while, and the child who was stroking the cold metal bolt whispered: "I really can't see grandpa anymore?"

Buck felt that the persuasion and education skills he had honed in his previous relationships were completely useless: "You just think you'll see it." ”

The child is more serious: "But you really can't see it?"

Buck perfunctory: "You just pretend to see it, like everyone is going to die, sooner or later, but everyone pretends that they don't know about it, doing this and that, right?"

The child was suddenly a little blindsided, sitting there stupidly and really thinking, and hesitated for a while: "Allah will tell us how to do it, right?"

The atheist Buck had to shrug his shoulders: "Then make a wish to Allah." ”

It was the most correct thing he said that night, and it was finally quiet in the pickup truck.

The child kept kneeling by the passenger window, looking at the bright moon in the sky, chanting a prayer with words.

Buck was finally able to make the call.

Lao Bai confirmed that the Russian side used two Su-24 fighters and two Su-34 to carry out adaptive air strikes, because the Russian side has detailed reservoir information, and an expert suggested that they only need to attack a substation between the reservoir hydropower station and the urban area, for the current IS army, there is no way to re-repair such facilities, there is no need to spend too much effort to blow up the reservoir dam, you know, many of the reservoir dams built by the former Soviet Union in the middle of the last century were built in accordance with the standards of anti-nuclear warfare, and the cost of missile-guided bombs was too high。

Russia really doesn't have a lot of money right now.

So in the end, about four 500-kilogram guided bombs blew up the entire substation area!

Buck took advantage of the airstrike chaos that was summoned to pluck himself out.

Lao Bai was even more excited: "It has proved that this model is more feasible! We sent a message through the diplomatic personnel of the Iraqi side to remind the Russian side, and they have also adopted it. ”

Buck responded decently: "It's better for them to do it than for us to do it." ”

Lao Bai sighed: "It's been a long time since I've played such a role on the international front, it's still a little touching, you pay attention, the leader asks us to ensure safety, don't blindly pursue the results of the war and involve Huaguo, but our road is effective, the steps are a little smaller, steady, we can't afford to withstand many failures now, do you understand?"

Buck, who didn't turn on his lights in the dark, replied seriously.

Lao Bai has the delicacy of the intelligence chief: "You are more suitable for the style of the Russians, or do you have a good impression?"

Anyway, on the empty road, Buck didn't mind saying more: "The Russians, they don't have a good feeling, and they don't dislike it, they are just like that, polar bears, they are unforgiving, they want to grab when they see the benefits, they also have smart minds, and they are brutal enough, so I never feel easy to deal with them, and I used to even prefer to do some small business with NATO, after all, European and American countries still talk about some rules, and the Russians have no bottom line when they initiate crossing!"

Lao Bai seemed to be in a good mood, and laughed twice: "It's good that you have the bottom in your heart, there are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends, and now you have to guard against cooperation...... Stay safe!"

Buck hung up.

About half an hour later, the pickup truck approached the only intersection on the road.

There is a cross on the vast desert road, which is from west to east, and there is an important north-south road, which is the direction to the capital of south-central Iraq.

There were two AK rifles, a Browning pistol, and in addition to that, a bazooka!

As an ambulance, Buck didn't see any oxygen cylinders, first aid kits or other equipment, not even stretchers, but there were five or six empty magazines and two full boxes of rifle bullets, Buck simply pulled over and threw away the two bodies in the cargo compartment, soaked urine, shared compressed biscuits and vitamin pills with the children, drank purified water, and when he got into the car, he pushed Acheka to the back row, and simply taught the children to load rifle bullets into the magazine: "The bullet is facing forward, don't pretend to be reversed." ”

The child is still impatient: "I know! I often see them pretending! I'll come, I'll ......."

Do you think such a child can grow up like an ordinary child?
