On the other end of the phone, Song Heping seemed unsurprised by this answer, and he said flatly, "Allegiance is unnecessary. I don't like the word 'allegiance,' but cooperation is fine. Welcome to the Persian Plateau. Now, let's help you reclaim your camp. Naxin will coordinate with you."
Hanging up the phone, Abu You returned the satellite phone to Naxin, his gaze now incredibly firm and fierce: "Captain Naxin, my camp must be in chaos right now. Bashir's men are probably trying to seize control of my troops. We need to go back immediately!"
Naxin nodded: "The Sand Fox Squad is at your command."
Abu You's eyes flashed coldly: "Go, return with me to clean house!"
...
Everything was just as Abu You expected; the camp was indeed in disorder.
