Chapter 1096

After lunch, he inspected and met some people respectively. It was almost five o'clock when Bashar left the airport.

Gao Yang came to the presidential palace with the helicopter team when they took Bashar. Apart from Satan and Taylor, there were only three people, Dani, Farouk and gilanor.

Of course, Bashar will not be with them all the time. Gao Yang and his colleagues are arranged to the lounge and wait for the dinner to begin.

Bashar's presidential palace is not resplendent, which is different from Gaddafi's nouveau riche style palace. However, the presidential palace is not simple in any case. In the eyes of knowledgeable people, it reveals that it is not ordinary, whether it is the building itself, furniture furnishings, or even some small things.

During the waiting time, Gao Yang and his people were fine and didn't seem too abnormal. In particular, Gao Yang and groliov, the old people in Satan's founding period, seemed more relaxed and comfortable. After all, they didn't enter the presidential palace for the first time. At the beginning, they also entered Gaddafi's palace, although they didn't invite themselves to enter, And I searched as hard as I could when I left.

Gao Yang, they seem relaxed, but Farouk and the three of them can't. After all, they have different identities.

After staying for almost two hours, at 7:30, Gao Yang was invited to a banquet.

The dinner party is located in the banquet hall, a large banquet hall, but there are not many people. During the day, some generals and officials accompanying Basar to the airport are there, and then they are praised. Others are some staff and service personnel.

As the host, he would make a speech as usual before the banquet, and when he spoke, it was time for Bashar to send his gifts for the guests.

After Bashar said a few words of welcome, he clapped his hands and said loudly, "bring up the gifts I have prepared."

Soon, one by one, the servants sent a gift prepared by Bashar. The gift was a knife, a Damascus knife.

Gao Yang is also a major general. His gift must be different from others. The knife Bashar prepared for him is a long knife in the form of Arab machete, while others' knives are short knives. Arabs are used to inserting short knives in their waists.

Gao Yang always wanted to get a Damascus knife. He had a chance to get it in Gaddafi's palace, but he chose a shotgun as his booty at that time. Unexpectedly, he got a Damascus knife in Damascus.

Damascus knife is called Damascus. In fact, the steel is Uzi steel produced in India. Damascus is not only the geographical center of the Middle East, but also has always been the economic and governance center city of the Middle East. Of course, it is the distribution center. In addition, Damascus also gathered the most outstanding craftsmen of the Arabs at that time. After ancient Arab businessmen imported Uzi steel raw materials from India, A large part of the steel was made into finished knives by knife makers in Damascus.

The reason why Damascus knives are precious is not only the problem of technology, but also the main reason is that the only raw material for making Damascus knives has disappeared. Uzi iron ore in India was mined out at the end of the 17th century. Most of the real Damascus knives are handed down from ancient times.

A small number of Damascus knives are newly made after India accidentally found Uzi steel ingots, but there are very few new knives made from Uzi steel.

Gao Yang found that the style of the short sabres presented by Bashar is basically the same. Although there are differences, the difference is very small. They should be newly unified and made by hand, so there are still some subtle differences in the style.

Gao Yang was pleased that the scabbard of the long knife Basar gave him was not decorated with vulgar gemstones.

The scabbard is made of wood and wrapped with shark skin. It is wrapped with silver at the edge and tip of the scabbard. The handle and hand guard are also made of silver. They look very clean, but a closer look shows that the silver on the handle and scabbard has traces of oxidation, so this is an old knife.

Gao Yang really liked the gift from Bashar, but he didn't play with it for too long. At the dinner party, in front of the head of state, he couldn't carry a knife with him, so he took the knife in his hand and enjoyed it for a moment, so he had to return it to the servant who sent the knife and ask someone else to take care of it first and take it when he left.

For Bashar, the recent war gave him reason to be happy. The atmosphere at the dinner was good.

The food is also very good, but this occasion is never really a time to eat.

The dinner was soon over. After dinner, Gao Yang was invited to the reception hall. At this time, it was time for a formal conversation.

In Middle Eastern families, guns and knives are placed in order to show their bravery. If it is a particularly rich local tyrant's home, the reception room is likely to become a small arms exhibition.

Modern firearms are used as furnishings, which do not show any grade. Exquisite families usually hang old-fashioned smooth bore guns with Middle East style on the wall. The smooth bore guns are luxurious and beautiful, and have no use value, but they must be able to start.

As for those oil tyrants or families like Gaddafi, naturally, what guns can be hung as handicrafts will be hung. Therefore, European antique shotguns come in handy at this time, which is why many valuable antique guns made by famous European Gunners appear in the Middle East.

If you are invited to a dinner party, it is natural to visit the host's home. Although it is impossible to see all the houses in the presidential palace, the rooms prepared for the guests will certainly be shown and enjoy the host's collection.

Since it is a custom to swing a gun, Bashar's family is certainly no exception.

It's been a long time to help Morgan find a gun. Gao Yang is sensitive to antique shotguns. Other places are OK. Two vertical double old shotguns are hung on the wall in the reception hall. Therefore, as soon as he enters the reception room, Gao Yang's eyes are attracted by the antique guns hanging on the wall.

It's impossible to hold the gun in your hand, but it's no problem to look closely,

According to Morgan's appreciation knowledge, Gao Yang looked at several key positions first to find out if there was any name or mark left by the gunner.

Gao Yang doesn't have any special in-depth research on the antique shotgun. After reading it for a long time, he can't recognize whose work the gun is. The name of the gunner is engraved on the metal plate above the trigger of one of the guns, but Gao Yang can't remember any information about the gunner.

After studying for a long time, Gao Yang came to the conclusion that these two guns are not particularly precious antique guns, and they will not be very old. They can't go before 1900 at the earliest, and they are certainly not particularly famous gunsmith's works.

While Gao Yang was concentrating on his research, suddenly there was a man around him: "it seems that general ram has a lot of research on shotguns?"

Gao Yang turned his head and saw that Bashar was talking. He quickly waved his hand and said, "there is no research, but he is very interested, slightly understand, slightly understand."

Bashar smiled and said, "I've heard more than once that general ram, your shooting skills are extremely good, and your shotgun is especially good. People with good shooting skills will naturally be interested in guns."

After that, Bashar stared at the two shotguns on the wall and said in a deep voice: "these two shotguns are not valuable treasures, but they have a very special significance for me. Both of them belong to my father. He often hunts with these two guns, and I have used one of them many times, so I hung them here."

Gao Yang didn't know how to interface, so he pretended to be very interested and focused on the two shotguns. At this time, Bashar turned his words and said with a smile: "it seems that I was negligent. I should give you a gun instead of a knife, because you obviously like guns more."

Gao Yang hurriedly said, "no, no, you misunderstood. I am very interested in guns, but I have the same love for knives. I like the gift given to me by the president very much."

Bashar smiled and nodded, then turned away, whispered a few words to one of his attendants, then walked back to Gao Yang and whispered: "Mr. ram, you have done a lot of great things during your stay in Damascus. Maybe you don't realize how crucial you have played. I must admit that your arrival has been of great help to us."

"Mr. President, you flatter me. A person's ability is limited. I'm glad to do something, but I don't think my role is irreplaceable," he said in a low voice

Bashar smiled: "Mr. ram, no, I should call you general. Syria needs talents like you. Are you interested in considering the possibility of long-term development in Syria?"

Whatever he is afraid of, Gao Yang is afraid that Bashar will solicit him again, but now that Bashar has put forward it, he has no choice but to refuse.

"Sorry, Mr. President, I have very important things to do, so I can't stay for a long time. In addition, I think more and more excellent talents will appear under your command over time. Whether I stay or not is not of great significance. In addition, I'm really likely to return here again. I hope I can get your support at that time."

Bashar shrugged and said, "well, I have no intention of forcing you. I respect your choice. I just want to tell you that Syria welcomes you at any time."

At this moment, Basar had just ordered his servants to come back, with an antique shotgun in his hand.

After taking the shotgun from the attendant, Bashar relaxed in front of Gao Yang, smiled and said, "I don't know much about antique guns. I only know that this gun is a work of the 19th century and comes from Europe. Now it belongs to you. I hope this gift can make you like it."
