Chapter 494 A Friend from Russia?

When Suming rushed up the hillside and took the communicator from Ivanov's hands, the scene that had previously unfolded in the Iraqi war room appeared once more.

"Wait a moment..." President Vladimir in Moscow finally recovered from his shock and was about to say something when Ivanov's urgent voice came through the communicator again, "Your Excellency, I am currently moving with Mr. Su's troops from Huaxia. Oh, Miss Ludmila is also with us, extending her regards to you! The situation is critical; IS is closing in again. We will report back to you once we find a safe location."

Vladimir paused for a moment, then his tone regained its calm, "Alright, convey my thanks to Mr. Su and wish you safe passage!"

After he finished speaking, the communicator went silent. Vladimir's voice resonated in the command center, "Issue orders to the nearest Russian Army, temporarily halt missile launches, keep a close watch on their movements, and ensure that Russia's hero and Russia's friend leave the warzone safely!"

"Yes, Mr. President!" the Russian representative quickly said.

However, when the Huaxia representative heard this sentence, a flash of surprise crossed their face. The "hero of Russia" naturally referred to Ivanov, the one who had called for fire upon himself. Although he did not ultimately sacrifice his life for his cause, it wasn't because he was afraid to die, but rather because the situation took an unexpected turn. Had it not been for Suming's timely arrival, Ivanov would have perished under artillery fire by now, which made him truly deserving of the title "hero of Russia."

Yet, the "friend of Russia" they referred to was none other than Suming!

If an ordinary Russian had said this phrase, it wouldn't hold much weight, but the person who said it was the President of Russia! Representatives from several countries heard it clearly. It might have even been broadcasted live, so that many ordinary citizens of Huaxia could also have heard it.

A normal citizen of Huaxia being called "Russia's friend" by the President of Russia – that held significant weight, and it was imperative to report to senior officials immediately!

...

Because Suming and the Lure People suddenly appeared in the middle of the IS positions, causing a disruption to the IS defenses in a short time, the Iraqi Government Army finally seized an opportunity to take a chunk out of IS, although they did not completely retake the mountainous area, they managed to find an equilibrium with IS, preventing the entire mountainous area from falling under IS's control.

Ludmila shrugged, "Of course, I'm not an idiot! Would I risk being assassinated by IS to do something that has absolutely no benefit to me? Besides, trading IS's Number Five figure for a way out is not wrong."

"That's good," Suming smiled. "You are welcome to visit Huaxia in the future; my future wife and I will warmly host you."

"You are also welcome to visit Russia, but not with your wife," Ludmila said.

The trip back was uneventful; after returning to Baghdad, the Iraqi Government held a grand celebration.

Actually, even now, many of the Iraqi officials are still unclear about what exactly happened in this localized conflict—it started out of the blue and ended just as mysteriously.

But that's not important. What matters is that the outcome of this war is worth promoting on a grand scale.

The Iraqi Government, with the support of the international community of justice, thwarted a major conspiracy by IS!

For the first time, they successfully rescued hostages taken by IS. Strictly speaking, they were missing Huaxia businessmen, who, with the brave Lure People and Moran International mercenaries, rescued the hostages from the West and Russian soldiers.

The Huaxia businessman, Moran International mercenaries, Russian hero paratroopers, and the rescued hostages suddenly became the focus of all Iraq, with the whole world's attention turning to this war-torn city.

Apart from war correspondents and representatives of various countries, even the current President of Iraq attended the celebration in person and awarded Suming a peculiar medal, purportedly the highest honorarium of Iraq.

As the celebration drew to a close, the Russian representative tapped his silver spoon against his glass. Once the whole room quieted down and looked at him, he said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, President Vladimir has entrusted me to extend an invitation to our friend of the Russian people, Mr. Su, hoping that he, along with Captain Ivanov, oh no, it should be Colonel Ivanov now, and Miss Ludmila, will come to Moscow to receive commendations."
