Huaxia Embassy in Iraq.

"Comrade Su Ming, the capital's leaders are very satisfied with your performance in Iraq, and they have given you a high evaluation and approved your meeting with President Vladimir in Moscow." said the embassy official who was speaking to Su Ming. Su Ming learned from Zhao Yun's channel that the ambassador to Iraq was about to be replaced, and the next ambassador would be the refined official in front of him. In other words, this official would soon be Huaxia's full representative in Iraq.

Su Ming had anticipated this outcome.

Not only Su Ming, but the whole world was clear that since the Russian President had personally issued an invitation, the Huaxia Government had no reason to refuse. Conversely, if the Huaxia Government invited a Russian who had helped the Huaxia military, the Russian Government would not reject it either; this is the most basic diplomatic etiquette unless the two countries were preparing to fall out.

The result was the same, but the process was elaborate. Knowing that the leadership would approve did not mean that subordinates could agree without seeking permission or reporting, and do as they please.

'Decision-making power' was an authority leaders would not tolerate being infringed upon. When Su Ming made that statement during the celebration, not immediately accepting Russia's offer was tantamount to declaring to the world that he resolutely supported the Party's leadership, and the Party had absolute authority in Huaxia.

If Su Ming had not made such a statement, even if he had gone to Russia and quickly risen to fame, it would have left a very bad impression on the highest powers in Huaxia. Conversely, if an employee from Yangchuan City Zoo traded with another entity without Su Ming's permission, Su Ming would also have reservations.

"The leader's exact words were to give full trust to young comrades, so for this trip, Mr. Su, you'll have full authority over all matters. If you need accompanying staff and service personnel, they will be dispatched from home as soon as possible," the official said.

"Let's forget about accompanying staff; I'll just go with a few friends," Su Ming thought for a moment and smiled. "After all, this trip is in a private capacity. If I bring staff from home, it changes the nature of the visit."

"Haha, no wonder the leader values you. Comrade Su, you've thought it through thoroughly," the official also laughed. The Huaxia side offered to provide accompanying personnel as a consideration for 'taking care of' Su Ming, which, bluntly put, was meant to boost his presence and save face.

However, if government accompanying personnel were brought along, the interaction and negotiations between the two sides would seem like a 'country-to-country' relationship, which would entail many inconveniences. By proactively choosing not to take accompanying personnel, Su Ming saved both countries unnecessary trouble.

"Then for this trip, do you have any other requests?" the official asked.

"Actually, there is something that I hope the government can consider, and crucially, I might need your help," Su Ming said to the official.

"Me? Please do tell; I will do my best to help." The official was slightly startled, thinking that Su Ming was flying to Moscow the next day and then directly heading back to Huaxia. Whether in business or politics, he was destined for a bright future. What could he possibly need from this official stationed in Iraq?

Could it be about those animals he bought? No, that's not right; they've already been transferred to transport planes and sent to Yangchuan City.

Regarding the animals, there was a minor incident. Once the Iraqi Government learned that Su Ming's initial purpose for coming to Iraq was to purchase, or rather to protect animals, they immediately gathered several hundred animals from several zoos nationwide. Along with the ones he had already bought, they gifted all of them to him.

According to the Iraqi Government, Mr. Su was also a friend of the Iraqi people. Iraq was too poor to give him anything of value, so these animals were a small token of the Iraqi people's appreciation for Mr. Su.

Pfft! The official thought in disdain, the mighty Russia, a major world power, could call Su Ming a friend of Russia, but you Iraq also had no shame, immediately taking advantage and trying to scrape together some wisdom from others. Couldn't you come up with something original?

Regardless, the trip's primary objective, purchasing animals, was successfully completed. The quantity exceeded expectations, and nearly no money was spent— the Iraqi Government was not miserly after all, refunding the money Su Ming had spent on the animals to Yangchuan City Zoo through donations.

"It's about those Lure People," Su Ming said with a smile.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" The official suddenly realized in the previous battle, it seemed that the Lure People tribes in Iraq were directly under Su Ming's command, and they were currently stationed in a temporary settlement near Baghdad.

"What exactly is your relationship with them?" the official asked curiously, "Even the Iraqi Government can't command them."

"Ah, I was just about to report this matter to the organization," Su Ming slapped his forehead.

"Hmm, go ahead, I will report it as it is," the official responded earnestly.

Sooner or later, the organization would find out about this issue. Rather than letting the higher-ups investigate, it was better to take the initiative to speak up.

Of course, how it was conveyed was critical, and the outcomes could be entirely different.@@novelbin@@

The great bluffer Comrade Su Ming began his bluffing.

"You know about reincarnated soul boys, right?" Su Ming gave the official a mysterious wink, as if about to say something significant.

The official's eyes brightened, "I know, each Panchen Lama is a reincarnated soul boy. It's a tradition in many religions, believing that..." He trailed off, then suddenly came to a realization, staring at Su Ming in astonishment and said, "Could it be that the Lure People think you're their..."

You're jumping the gun! Su Ming chuckled inwardly but maintained a serious expression and said, "Ah, who's to say they're not? When I was putting out the fire on the airplane, they insisted that I was the reincarnation of the Fire God's Messenger; they even put me through a whole bunch of religious tests, I couldn't even deny it!"

"Religious tests are all based on idealism. They're biased to believe you're the reincarnated Divine Envoy, and no matter how they test, the results will always align with what they want," the official nodded.

"Exactly!" Su Ming, feigning distress, said, "It just happened that I led them through breaking out of the IS encirclement, and now they're even more convinced that I'm the Divine Envoy. Now, I've got trouble on my hands, dragging along such a large burden, thousands of people. What do you think I should do?!"

There were a total of 2,836 people in the entire Lure tribe, counting men, women, the elderly, and children. Among them were about 800 able-bodied men who could fight—a makeshift battalion. And each was armed!

"Continuing to let them join the Iraqi Government as soldiers, they'd definitely be unwilling now. To be honest, they all followed me from the frontline, and the Lure tribe is down to these few thousand souls. I wouldn't want them to continue being cannon fodder," Su Ming said.

"I understand... but, you don't mean to have them..." The official suddenly realized something and looked up urgently, swallowing before staring at Su Ming, saying with a serious expression, "Are you hoping to bring these thousands of people back to our country with you?!"

If that were the case, then this would become quite the spectacle!
