The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2656

At this moment, Charlie was inside a small courtyard, and there were only three earthen houses in this small courtyard. It looked very dilapidated. Charlie used his Reiki to feel and perceive his surroundings, and he realized that there were no signs of anyone’s presence in these three earthen houses at all. So, he prepared to move forward little by little toward the central square of the village starting from this courtyard.

When Charlie was skydiving, he had seen the opposition force's four armed helicopters parked in the central square. So, this showed that the opposition force regarded the central square as the most defensive spot. Since all of the expensive helicopters were parked there, Charlie believed that the eight hostages, including Autumn, should also be detained and kept captive near the central square.

After Charlie had passed through the small and deserted courtyard and just as he was about to cross over another small courtyard, he heard footsteps sounding from not too far away. He immediately took a step back and hid behind the wall of the abandoned small courtyard.

Immediately afterward, two middle-aged soldiers, who were wearing desert camouflage uniforms, walked over with guns in their hands as they chatted with one another.

What made Charlie feel extremely surprised was the fact that they were not speaking Arabic, but they were speaking English!

What Charlie did not know was that English was actually a lingua franca in Syria. Although the teaching level and per capita education level here was very low, since Syria had been occupied by Europe and the United States in recent years, English had subsequently become their second mother tongue.

These opposition force’s soldiers had also received secret funding from Europe and the United States many years ago, and Europe and the United States had also sent professional coaches to help them so that they could improve their combat effectiveness.

At that time, the coaches from Europe and the United States mainly spoke English, and their textbooks were also in English. So, as time went by, the Syrian government soldiers and the opposition force's soldiers' command of the English language had improved greatly. So, it was not actually a big deal if they knew how to speak English. 4

At this time, one of them said to the other, "The people from the mountain on the west said over the walkie-talkie that five people were killed after getting struck b y lightning, three people are injured, and two out of the three people who are injured are in a very dangerous and life-threatening situation now. They are in urgent need of medical attention. They have requested for the commander to send the helicopter over there to rescue them, but the commander refused to agree to their request."

The other man shrugged as he spread out his hands helplessly and said, "It is impossible for the commander to agree to it. We are currently very short i n supply of aviation fuel. Our remaining fuel supply is not even enough to satisfy the requirements of four helicopters to takeoff and land several times. So, we will have to save the remaining fuel that we have to deal with emergencies. How can he possibly waste one takeoff and landing just because of two wounded soldiers?"

As he spoke, he said emotionally, "We do not have much diesel left either. Fortunately, the government has not started to organize and launch an offensive yet. Otherwise, our helicopters and tanks would only b e able to last and support us for one day at most."

The person before could not help but complain, "All of the fuel in the world is in the Middle East, but we are short of fuel to this extent. This is truly ridiculous!"
