Chapter 36: Provocation

Unexpectedly, the reason why the scientific expedition team was able to successfully nod and hire the Pleasant Goat Mercenary Group was not Yang Buxing's perfect and invisible pretense, but Alice's doctorate status.

As for how to distinguish between truth and falsehood, Professor Lippi just made a phone call back to the school to inquire. He was very satisfied with the results, and the photos sent back confirmed that it was Alice.

It's just that they can't figure out that such highly educated talents will be an excellent resource for companies to hire in any country, so why would they choose to become a precarious mercenary?

Of course, this is a personal question, and the old men of Pukins didn't ask much, they only fancy the information computer technology that Alice has at hand.

Now there is a shortage of data modelers in the entire scientific research team, which was originally a pity, but this regret has now just met this ideal candidate.

After all, the tomb is in a war-torn place, so if the entire tomb can be completely replicated by 3D modeling by computer, it will be much more convenient for subsequent research work.

Because of this, Professor Perkins added an additional $50,000 to the 600,000 commission, hoping that Alice could help with this.

Originally, Alice was reluctant to do so, because this kind of work was time-consuming and laborious, and it seriously squeezed her time to appreciate Yang's beauty. But in the end, they still didn't escape Yao Bing's soft grinding, after all, the mercenaries they got for this mission were to be deducted a lot in proportion, and this extra 50,000 yuan was exactly what they needed at the moment.

The mission was expected to be completed in seven days, and when the plane circled over Mosul, the third largest city in Yrak, ready to land, Yang Buxing was able to see the devastating damage caused by the war with his own eyes.

Historically in the middle of the "Silk Road", it is also an important place connecting Asia Minor and the Persian Gulf, and it is also the industrial, agricultural, financial center and political center of the Kurdish Autonomous Region in the north of Yrak, with the largest oil fields and the largest oil refining facilities. Because of the beautiful scenery of Mosul, the pleasant climate and the temperature in spring and autumn are very similar, it is also known as the "City of Double Spring".

Mosul is also a historical and cultural city, with the ruins of the historic city of Nineveh on the opposite bank. Between 891 and 926 AD, the Hamadans also established the Principality of the Emir here.

Built in 1172, the Great Mosque of Kebir is famous for the peculiar "leaning tower" in the temple, the tower is 52 meters high, built on a granite square platform, the tower body is built into a cylindrical shape with blue bricks, carved with various patterns, from the middle to the top of the tower is inclined state, beautiful and magnificent. The Emma Wade Mosque is the earliest mosque in the city, built by the Arab general 'Ogba, and now only one minaret remains. There is also the Mujahidi Mosque, built in the 12th century and famous for its elegant vaults.

But now it is such a beautiful city that integrates culture, economy, and humanity, and after the first shot of the M Army, it has completely fallen into endless disasters.

Although Mosul, which has been based by the IS terrorist extremist group and then the Islamic State, was recently regained control by government forces, it only took back the abandoned land where 50 percent of the buildings were destroyed and the cultural city and historical sites were almost completely flattened.

Looking at it in mid-air, although Yang Bu was a pity, he didn't have much of a strong sense of vision, and when he actually landed and walked out of the cabin, he was full of gloom.

Now the runway of this airport, except for the patched one under the feet, the rest are all large holes that have not had time to be filled by cruise missiles. The exterior wall of the aviation building is covered with dense bullet holes, and even two glass curtain walls have been broken and not replaced in time, but are improvised and nailed with large wooden boards.

Of course, at this time the airport was under military control. Except for Yang Buxing and his party, there were only three or two passengers who got off the plane.

In a few moments, several Humvees approached in the distance. The government troops who got out of the car quickly surrounded everyone and checked them one by one. Maybe that's the only security they have left.

Seeing that the luggage of the Middle Easterners was all over the place, if it weren't for the fact that one of the men stuffed a few banknotes into the hands of the chief leader, I don't know what would have happened to the things.

"Huh...... The country has been made like this, these soldiers don't think about how to serve the country, and they are still sucking the marrow and blackmailing in private, sad......"

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head with a wry smile, in other words, if someone who was a soldier around him did this, he didn't need to be reported by others, and his comrades-in-arms around him could beat him to death.

"It's all gone, and that's understandable. ”

Sun Siqi suddenly took over the conversation, and she had prepared a few pieces of money in her hand to deal with it later, she didn't want her personal belongings to be thrown everywhere in public.

In fact, the reason why these soldiers are so presumptuous is also to look at people, the three old men and Hamjamie, and Alice are all Western faces, so they just symbolically asked and let go of the side with a smile, while Yang Buxing and Sun Siqi in the back were both yellow people, so they were treated as fat sheep.

"Get down all of them and put your hands on your head. ”

When these soldiers came up, they raised their guns and pointed at Yang Buxing, which was obviously deliberately to find fault. Yang Buxing's eyes were sharp, and he soon found that a Westerner wearing the uniform of the M Army was sitting in the Humvee car parked not far away, looking over here, looking at the armband on the shoulder, the rank was actually a major.

This guy looked out of the car window playfully, afraid that he was waiting to see the next good show.

As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and now they are inexplicably pointed at guns on other people's territory, so they can only lie on their stomachs obediently.

"Professor, look at this ......"

Alice apparently also spotted the Major of the M Army sitting in the car, so she stabbed Perkins next to her with her elbow. As the captain of the scientific expedition team, he should have arranged it in advance in terms of reporting.

And Pukins also felt very puzzled, the mission and number of troops in this scientific expedition were notified in advance in the name of Harvard University, just to avoid such a thing, and the other party will also provide corresponding help, how did he encounter such trouble just after getting off the plane.

At this time, Puggins immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the contact number given by Army M.

Jingle Bell ......

As soon as the call was made, the phone rang in the Humvee not far away. Needless to say, the major of the M Army, who is waiting to see a good show, is the contact person of the M Army for this scientific expedition.

Seeing that everyone turned their attention, the major was embarrassed to pretend to be stupid and stay in the car to watch the show, only to see him open the car door with a smile:

"Hah...... Hello everybody, introduce yourself, you can call me Jopesie, now a staff major in the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Ranger Division.

You're Professor Perkins, and I'm happy to help you. ”

At this time, the people present did not know that of course such a play had nothing to do with this so-called major.

"Major Jopesie, it's a pleasure to meet you. These two are Professor Lippi and Professor Tunaza, and the latter two are our assistants. As for those four people, you see ......."

"Oh, and those four Huaxia people are also assistants to the professor?"

After Joe Persie shook hands with everyone one by one, he glanced at the four people on the ground out of the corner of his eye and asked Professor Perkins knowingly.

"Oh, that girl is my student. The others were bodyguards hired by the First Resources Group security company, which had already been explained in the document. ”

"First Resources, the mercenary company...... This is really rare, and it is rare for Chinese people to be mercenaries these days.

Seeing that they are not very old, they are at most a private in the M Army sequence.

If you don't mind, Professor Perkins, let me test you to see if these three guys are capable of protecting you, or if they're scammers taking risks for money. ”

Jopersie was in an inquiring tone, but he didn't wait for Professor Perkins to answer and turned straight ahead.

"Uh...... Alas......"

Pggins wanted to say something and stopped, but could only shake his head helplessly. He knew that this kind of thing would happen, and when he reported it, the M** party proposed to provide protection for himself throughout the whole process, but he refused.

Academia is academia, and Popkins hates having too much to do with the military. Because a lot of scientific research for the benefit of mankind has eventually become a weapon of destruction after the participation of the military. Many of these scientists who started out with pure goals had to change their minds in the end.

As you don't know, the research of nuclear fission was originally intended to provide efficient and clean energy for mankind, but it turned out to be a killing weapon for the destruction of mankind in the first place.

I also have to say that country M is indeed a paradise for scientists, no matter how ridiculous the project you are researching, there will always be someone who will provide you with investment. And the vast majority of this "someone" refers to the M** side.

As early as after he put forward the theory of human alienation and genetic degradation, military representatives came to him and were willing to provide him with sufficient funds, but the first to benefit from the results of the research was of course the M** side.

Pugins feared that his research would eventually become a weapon in the hands of the powerful, so he resisted. If it weren't for the fact that the location of the tomb was in this troubled area, he wouldn't have wanted to have any contact with the military at all.

Obviously, this Joe Pesci wanted to suppress the three mercenaries on the ground, and justifiably make himself the official bodyguard of the scientific expedition team.

"You three get up, I'll get straight to the point. In the back car is one of my 11 subordinates, I have let you go, but I can't make an obedient U-turn from where to go back and forth, and I have paid for the air ticket. ”

As Qiao Persie spoke, 11 tall soldiers from the country M came down from the two Humvees at the back, all of them were muscular, and their arms were almost as thick as Yang Bu's calves.

Looking at this posture, Yang Buxing got up and patted the dust on his body, and then said to Joe Persie:

"Don't do it, it's hard to say if there will be a damage later. ”

"What? Huaxia people are so guts? If you are afraid of death, go back quickly, don't learn what kind of mercenaries others are. ”

Joe Persie deliberately raised his voice so that Puggins behind them could hear them. A group of government troops patrolling by also stopped and looked towards this direction.

"Uh...... In that case, well. But you have to make sure that you have to let us go if you win or lose, that you can't detain us, and that everyone here is here to testify. ”

Yang Bu was hungry and touched his chin and said hesitantly.

"Huaxia Mischief, could it be that I, a major in Qiao Persie, will not keep my word?

Everyone present listened, I, Joe Pesci, swear in honor of the United States of America that I will let these 3 Chinese monkeys leave freely regardless of whether they win or lose......"

"Good...... The mighty ...... of country M"

"Mighty ......"

Seeing the coaxing of the Y-Lak soldiers around him, Yang Buxing knew that his goal had been achieved. Therefore, the posture of the hunched body, which was still a little chested, slowly stood upright, and after smiling at Yao Bing and Zhang Xiaofan beside him, he slowly approached the 11 "gorillas" opposite......
