Middle Eastern tyrants

Chapter 78 Interrogation
Upon hearing Lu Lin's reply, Brigadier General Eugene spat.

Lu Lin narrowed his eyes and looked down at him disdainfully: "If you want to show your backbone in this way, you don't have to."

Brigadier General Eugene sneered: "They're nothing more than second-class citizens."

"But we won."

Brigadier General Eugene suddenly flew into a rage, and was about to get up when he was quickly pressed down by a soldier: "That's all because of your sneak attack! If it were a real fight..."

Standing to the side, Fahd couldn't help but shout: "How dare you mention a sneak attack? You attacked Arab countries first and displaced millions of people!"

Brigadier General Eugene argued, "We are waging a sacred war of national defense!"

Lu Lin's eyes suddenly turned to pity. These Zion soldiers, from the rank-and-file to the officers, had all been brainwashed and even believed the lies they told.

Outside the tent, the sound of military boots clattering on the gravel could be heard. Ibrahim, dressed in a drab green military uniform, lifted the curtain, followed by Bandar, whose face was covered in soot.

"Major General!" The two men saluted.

"Is this how you use the tank force I gave you to waste up?"

Lu Lin glanced at Bandar.

Bandar, like a rough, unspoken man, scratched his head and chuckled, revealing two rows of big white teeth.

He really enjoyed the fight.

Lu Lin asked, "How bad is the damage?"

"Twenty-two vehicles were destroyed in the frontal assault, and more than a dozen others were out of service due to various malfunctions. The exact number of casualties is still being tallied," Bandar replied.

Hearing this result, Lu Lin felt a pang of pain; a single charge had cost him nearly a quarter of his armored brigade.

However, it was worth it in the end, because given the current situation, they have to race against time.

Ibrahim added, "Perhaps we can incorporate the captured Zion tanks into our forces to make up for the losses."

Brigadier General Eugene sneered upon hearing their words: "Only you Arabs would do something so stupid as to incorporate unfamiliar tanks into your armored forces!"

"Isn't that what you do too?"

Lu Lin looked at him: "Moreover, my troops know how to drive the Chieftain. We captured several of your Chieftains back in Nukhir."

Brigadier General Eugene was speechless after hearing this.

"Have you confirmed which unit they belong to?" Lu Lin asked again.

“Found it,” a soldier replied. “It’s the 58th Armored Brigade of the 38th Armored Division in Zion.”

Lu Lin raised an eyebrow, not expecting it to be an old acquaintance.

Previously at the Nukshir outpost, the Zion 7th Armored Regiment, which they defeated, was a unit under the 38th Division.

“Tell me about your deployment from Sergiev Posad to Euphrates.” Lu Lin looked at the newly hung military map on the wall, while Eugene closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.

Seeing that the other party remained silent, he changed the subject: "We clearly left you an opening before, so why didn't you lead your troops to withdraw from the east?"

Do you think I can't see through your scheme?

Brigadier General Eugene snorted: "Do you really think that our elite Zion troops are as spineless as you Arabs?"

Despite suffering a defeat, he remains so defiant. Lu Lin thought to himself that he needed to find someone who could tame his temper.

"Leave this job to me." At that moment, Taimiye walked in.

"Where did you go just now?" Lu Lin turned his head.

"Uh, wasn't this what we agreed before, that I shouldn't get involved in military matters?" Taimiye shrugged.

Okay, Lu Lin realized that was indeed the case.

When he saw the epaulets on Brigadier General Eugene's shoulders, Tamie's eyes lit up.

"Hey, this guy's a general!"

Brigadier General Eugene said, "I am a brigadier general, not a general."

Tammy patted him on the shoulder: "Who says a brigadier general isn't a general?"

There is actually some disagreement internationally regarding whether a brigadier general is a general.

In the NATO system, brigadier general is the starting point for general officers, belonging to the category of one-star generals.

However, in the case of Seris or Ant, brigadier general corresponds to the rank of senior colonel, and generally speaking, major general is the starting point for becoming a general.

Tamiya cleared his throat and said to Ulima, who was accompanying him, "I will speak, and you will write it down." The church members immediately began to take notes.

“伊斯兰历，1388年10月6日，下午14时至10月7日上午8时：
Shuangzhi's expeditionary force in the northern border region defeated the 58th Armored Brigade of the 38th Armored Division of Zion at Sergiad in Al-Ilag.

Taimiye turned his head and asked, "How many people did we capture in total?"

Ibrahim replied, "A total of 1037 people were captured, including 422 armored soldiers and 7 officers of the rank of colonel."

Tamiya nodded and instructed the recorder to add another entry to the largest numerical unit.

Ibrahim couldn't help but ask, "Is this report acceptable?"

Tamiya patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, if the other Arab armies win, the statistics will only be more exaggerated than ours."

Besides, if we don't exaggerate a bit, how can we get those royal gentlemen to give the major general more equipment?

Even Ibrahim, who was usually very law-abiding, hesitated unusually when he heard the second half of the sentence.

Bandar nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it's much better to give the equipment to the major general than to let those bastards take it and give it away!"

Ibrahim exposed his colleague: "You just want more tanks to keep charging."

"I don't!"

Then Tamie asked Brigadier General Eugene some other questions, such as how he communicated with his superiors and the situation of commanders at all levels.

Bandar, who was watching from the side, whispered, "Look at the Imam, the smile on his face never stops!"

Ibrahim nodded; he didn't want to make fun of church members, especially those at the level of the Grand Imam.

However, Tamiya is indeed very happy now.

Shuangzhi's army practices a system of integrating politics and religion. Taimiye's rank is brigadier general. As the second-highest-ranking officer in the army after Lu Lin, Taimiye does not have military power, but in reality, he is the number two person in the army.

A victory that is recorded in history is enough to have his name engraved on the stone tablets of the holy city.

Taimiye could already imagine the huge sensation that would occur when the news reached the country.

This will be the most brilliant chapter in his resume.

Thinking of this, his attitude towards Brigadier General Eugene changed, and his eyes became much kinder.

This is a treasure!
However, when asked about matters of military secrecy, Brigadier General Eugene chose to remain silent.

Seeing the smile vanish from Brigadier General Eugene's uncooperative expression, Tamie said, "Don't force me to slap you when I'm in a good mood."

Seeing that the other party still refused to cooperate, Taimiye handed over the notebook recording the battle situation: "If you are willing to cooperate, I will record the time a little later, so that you will not have to compete with your colleagues to see who is the first officer to be defeated by the Arab army."

Brigadier General Eugene gritted his teeth: "What about your dignity as a soldier?!"

“Sorry,” Tamiya shrugged, “Strictly speaking, I’m only half a soldier.”

The other half was a charlatan who sent infidels to Jahannam.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Let them have a proper talk alone," Lu Lin said.

Professional matters should naturally be left to professionals. Tamiya may not understand the importance of interrogation, but the church's core duties include interrogating heretics, so it is most appropriate for them to pry open the mouths of prisoners.

Ibrahim said solemnly, "Major General, time is of the essence. We should consider the next offensive plan."

Lu Lin nodded.

The Arab army was able to catch Zion off guard by launching a surprise attack on the day of Yom Kippur.

But once the opponent realizes what's happening, it won't be easy to win smoothly.

What they need to do now is to expand their current advantage as quickly as possible and crush as many Zion troops as possible.

At that moment, a communications soldier came to report: "Major General, a telegram from headquarters!"

Lu Lin took the microphone: "This is the Shuangzhi Northern Border Expeditionary Force."

His gaze swept across the faces of every soldier and officer in the tent, filled with excitement and anticipation; everyone straightened their backs in unison.

To unite the soul of an army, the second is faith, and the first is winning battles.

A slight smile played on his lips: "Yes, I am Commander Amir."

I have important military intelligence to report.
