Seeing Hamid limping up the stairs, Ye Chen was somewhat curious, so he asked casually: “Brother, did you have this leg hurt?”
Hamid looked back at him, then looked at his left leg, and sighed: “My left leg was once seriously injured in a battle. It was hit by fragments from a bomb explosion. At that time, there was almost only one amputation. Fortunately, I managed to save this leg later, but this leg also suffered irreversible damage, so after the recovery, the muscles were severely atrophy and the function was degraded severely, so I was lame… ”
As he said, he couldn’t help sighing: “In a place like Syria, the difficulties of a lame commander are really hard to explain!”
Although the lame man is not a serious disability, Hamid is the supreme commander of an armed force after all. His lame leg has a great impact on his personal image and prestige.
The biggest impact was that his self-confidence was frustrated.
Once upon a time, Hamid was also an ambitious general, eager to make a difference in the chaotic battle, and even hope to become the supreme commander of the entire opposition force.
However, since his lameness, his influence has dropped a lot, and his self-confidence has also been hit.
Originally, his team had nearly 10,000 people, which was considered to be a relatively strong opponent in the opposition, but a few confidants saw that he was lame and his self-confidence was severely damaged. They took the opportunity to instigate some of his subordinates to go out and stand on their own, so that his strength suddenly Plummet.
Sometimes the reality is so cruel. When a person has enough authority to deter his men, his men will appear as meek as a cat and loyal like a dog.
However, once this person’s own strength declines and his body declines, a tiger-wolf heart will emerge from his men.
It is more moral to stand on your own, and those who are ethical will even take the opportunity to kill their boss and replace him.
Such things are indeed common since ancient times.
Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin originally inspected the front of the palace of the Hou Zhou. After the death of Zhou Shizong, he had just passed the throne to his seven-year-old son, Emperor Zhou Gong. As a result, Zhao Kuangyin turned his face and launched Chen Qiao’s mutiny and seized the young lord.
Similar things are countless in history.
The same goes for Hamid in Syria.
This kind of local economic development is very backward, and it is mountainous, and the degree of motorization of the troops is very low. Most of the time, they rely on the legs and feet and transported animals, mules and horses. In this case, Hamid’s physical disability is infinitely magnified.
When soldiers are fighting in the mountains, he has no way of going to the front to cheer the soldiers;
When the troops began to maneuver in a wide range between the mountains, he could not participate at all.
The soldiers of the opposition were born recklessly, and they needed the commander to take the lead or integrate into it, but Hamid’s legs became a huge shortcoming.
Hamid at this time limped out of the cellar, followed by Ye Chen and He Zhiqiu.
After coming out, I saw an armed helicopter parked in the yard, and all the armed personnel had been evacuated.
The weapons and ammunition originally suspended under the helicopter and on both sides have basically been disassembled, and all the ammunition has been removed from the cannon, which is the main firepower.
The reason why Ye Chen asked them to remove all the ammunition was to ensure that Hamid would not suddenly repent after arriving at the meeting place.
After all, the Ye family arranged for civilian planes, and they would definitely be civilian helicopters when they came to pick them up. In front of the armed helicopters, the civilian helicopters were paper-sticky, and the machine guns would suddenly be smashed into a sieve.
At this moment, there was a pilot standing next to the helicopter. He saw Hamid coming out with two strangers, Ye Chen and He Zhiqiu, and suddenly felt a little bad, and subconsciously wanted to touch the pilot with a gun on his waist.
Hamid said immediately: “Throw the gun away, these two are my friends!”
As soon as the pilot heard this, although he had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to make a mistake, and immediately threw the gun on the ground.
Hamid again ordered: “Hurry up and start the helicopter!”
The pilot hurriedly climbed into the cockpit to start the propeller, and Hamid sat in the cabin with Ye Chen and He Zhiqiu.
