Chapter 299: Unconditional Surrender

At 10 pm on March 5th, the time in Badina, the press spokesman of the Iraqi Presidential Palace announced to the world that 'Iraq has unconditionally surrendered to the US military and its allies.'

This should have been a very exciting piece of news. However, due to a story about a boy crying wolf, Iraq had announced its surrender to the world once before. Therefore, despite the time difference, the announcement of this news in the West was at its most active, the announcement of the news still did not cause much of a stir, and many people even thought it was just a repeat of the old trick.

'Look, that liar Saddam is going to fool the world again. He'll shout 'surrender' while continuing to fire missiles at the free world. But this time we no longer believe him, because his credibility has gone bankrupt and is now negative. If he really wants to surrender, I think he should just open the gates of Badina and let the free army in, then hang him from the gallows!'

Reuters agency's famous current affairs commentator was severely criticising on his own programme, while another commentator chimed in: 'Yes, the news from Iraq is not at all convincing. Last time I listened to them, I thought oil prices would go down. But dammit, because of his false information, I lost 100,000 US dollars, and I'm already in debt because of it, so this time I'll never believe that liar again!'

As a result the host of this programme was rousing the audience: 'I think if everyone doesn't want their stocks to fall again tomorrow and their crude oil futures to lose money, they should give this dictator a huge boo!'

But when while the world thought that Iraq was just trying to be a liar again and mocked him endlessly, there was a different kind of movement in the White House. Just one and a half hours after Iraq announced its surrender, the White House also held a press conference to confirm the news.

Right on the South Lawn of the White House, the President of the White House, President Walsh, told the media: 'First of all, I want to say that it is all because of this damn news that I had to delay leaving work and I couldn't pick up my grandson, but the news I'm about to tell you is true because he's the one who kept me from leaving work.'

The opening . He continued: 'As you may already know, two hours ago Iraq announced its surrender. And now I here to announce that this news is indeed true, and unlike the previous conditional surrender, Iraq has now realised the harm of war and has surrendered unconditionally. ('

'As of Until I said this, our general in Normandy on the front line had already received the surrender document from the Iraqi presidential palace, and all Iraqi troops will then surrender in situ to the multinational forces.'

Walsh Walsh paused here before continuing, 'So now, I can responsibly tell you that the Gulf War is over, and it ended in a victory for the multinational forces!'

With Walsh's last words, an incredibly loud cheer broke out, and the White House staff, who had been ready for a long time, released the colourful balloons in their hands and the doves that symbolised peace. Countless flashbulbs flashed furiously, desperately trying to capture this precious moment.

And also the world was abuzz as President Bush's words were spread around the world by these media.

After all the whole world has been abuzz since the initial invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, the US involvement in the war, the imposition of sanctions on Iraq while sending emergency reinforcements to the Gulf region, and the official declaration of war against Iraq Iraq declared war; from the beginning the US military had a comprehensive advantage, to Iraq's efforts to turn the tide, to Saddam's delaying tactic of surrendering, and finally to Iraq's formal unconditional surrender.

To seems to the world as if it were a war novel full of twists and turns, or even something unbelievable.

Of course, with the end of the war, the international financial and futures markets began a new round of turbulence. First, the international crude oil futures market, which was said to never stop trading, ended, the price of oil very graciously fell; and the stocks related to the petroleum industry were all injected with a shot in the arm, and after the market opened the next day, they all soared.

The world's markets were affected, so much so that a sarcastic American commentator pointed out on television: 'I suspect that this war is being manipulated, because the real Gulf War should have ended the first time they announced their surrender. The subsequent Iraqi resistance and even some of the progress made were merely a means for all the consortium capitalists to continue to get rich.'

These words immediately came under fire. Another commentator told him that even the US President could not intervene effectively in a full-scale official war like the Gulf War, and that if anyone could intervene, it would have to be God.

The sharp-tongued commentator commentator stressed, 'There are always people in the world who can work miracles. And in terms of the current situation of the Gulf War, it is not completely uncontrollable. If this person is brave enough and has ruthless and advanced ideas, they can do what only God can do!'

However, his emphasis ultimately only earned him a lot of boos. However, he did not know that his idea, based on ratings, happened to be the truth.

The person as God and intervened in the Gulf War was Zhou Ming, but while the world was shocked by this, he was still lying in his bed, with a soft body in his arms, which was undoubtedly the Kurdish princess Leila who had come to him.

When the bright sunlight shone into the bedroom, Zhou Ming woke up. The tiredness that came from every cell in his body told him that he had really gone a little crazy last night.

But no matter how crazy, it was brought on by Lea. After all, she, a Kurdish princess, had actually come to him wearing such a sexy outfit, crying and shouting that she wanted to be his woman, and had kissed him forcefully. Under the circumstances, if he didn't do something, he wouldn't be a real man. So last night, Zhou Ming showed her his most heroic side...

Suddenly, Zhou Ming heard Lea moan coquettishly in his arms, which sent a shiver right through Zhou Ming's bones. It was only then that Zhou Ming remembered that his hand was still on her chest, which was obviously a momentary whim.

Lea opened her eyes dazedly opened her eyes and saw Zhou Ming: 'Are you awake? Don't rub anymore, I can't stand it anymore. I had sex for the first time yesterday, and I haven't recovered yet. Can you please stop... I beg you. Maybe I can help you with my mouth. Didn't you say yesterday that you really hoped that in the morning, a woman could help you with a good morning kiss?'

'But unfortunately, unfortunately, I am a very greedy person, I want both, so my beautiful princess, just resign yourself to your fate!

Zhou Ming laughed and pressed down on Lea, and in Lea's moans, he began a new round of conquest.

It was noon at twelve o'clock, Zhou Ming and Lea got up. As they walked out of the door, they were given a newspaper, Reuters, with the front page headline about Iraq's surrender.

'Yesterday evening Iraq announced its surrender at 10pm last night. It seems that the guy Majid can't wait either, but maybe he has his own considerations regarding jet lag. Who knows?' Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders and said.

While Zhou Ming and talking to each other while reading the newspaper, Lea asked with a cup of soymilk in her hand, 'What is this? Is this your oriental goat's milk? It has a very unique flavour.'

Zhou Ming looked and looked a little strange. 'Isn't this just soya milk? You haven't even drunk this before?'

Rhea shook her head seriously and said that she only drank goat's milk and cow's milk. Zhou Ming was really a little helpless, because in his impression, soya milk didn't seem to be a food unique to China, right? But why have never drunk it? And from the look on her face, she didn't seem to be lying. In the end, he could only say that she was a Kurdish princess who drank fresh goat's milk every day and naturally didn't need the cheap drink soya milk.

After explaining explained soya milk, he turned on the TV and watched the news for himself. It happened to be broadcasting the speech given by US President Walsh at the White House the previous day.

Zhou Ming listened listened to Walsh's speech, then picked up the newspaper and read it carefully. He said with a smile, 'It seems that President Walsh is a veteran politician. The art of rhetoric is truly is truly consummate. After all that talk, no one realised that the key to ending the war was for the United States to continue to impose comprehensive sanctions on Iraq.

Zhou Ming turned to Rhea and said, 'This sanction is also a key condition for the establishment of your Kurdish state.'

Hearing that it was related to the establishment of his own nation, the establishment of her own nation, Lea immediately perked up. She came over and asked Zhou Ming, 'Economic sanctions? Zhou Ming, are you saying that this can greatly weaken Iraq's power, so we have a chance?'

Zhou Ming nodded said, 'Yes, but you should also be aware that as the oil-for-food programme continues, the Al-Hussein family's use of this programme will put the entire Iraqi food supply in their hands, which will also make their rule more stable.'

Leia gave asked with a meaningful look at Zhou Ming: 'I think you told them this suggestion, didn't you?'

Zhou Ming didn't want to cheat Lea, and nodded to her. Lea smiled and said firmly to Zhou Ming, 'Thank you for your honesty with me, but that doesn't matter. No matter how stable their rule is, it will not stop our Kurdish goal of independence! More importantly is that the US sanctions will definitely weaken their power. With that, it's enough!'

Zhou Ming also nodded happily: 'Brave Kurdish fighters, I also believe that you will definitely succeed!'

At this time , the door to Zhou Ming's room suddenly knocked, shot over and opened. A servant said that Majid invited Zhou Ming to come over. Zhou Ming helplessly said, 'It seems that Majid must want to ask me what to do next.'

'Yes, I'm also curious, what will you tell him to do next?' Lea also picked up taken up the question.

Zhou Ming said with a smile, 'What else can be done? Just follow the UN resolution: return the entire territory of Kuwait, pay national compensation for the war, and unswervingly adhere to the oil-for-food programme. adhere to the oil-for-food programme, which is also the most important way for Iraq to persevere in the future and for the Al-Hussein family to firmly grasp power in Iraq.'

Just then, Zhou Zhou Ming's phone suddenly rang without warning. Zhou Ming picked it up and connected the call, when suddenly a very anxious voice came from the other end: 'Zhou Ming, something bad has happened. If possible, you have to come back immediately, because something big has happened to the Tang family here in San Francisco!'
