This does not mean the conversation I had with you, nor what I attributed to you, but only that with the occurrence of this dangerous movement, if God Almighty grants us a good outcome, similar measures will be taken in consultation. And we will explain the movement and its requirements to the officers so that the soldiers and the two officers are aware of it, even when the call comes.
