Chapter 020, slap yourself in the face

() The Americans said that Canglong did it, of course, everyone thought that Canglong did it, and they knew that Canglong did it, but they didn't expect that the terrorist organization would admit that they did it, and as soon as Al Jazeera announced the news, the whole world would immediately boil

Yellen and Wang Daoming looked at this scene incredulously, fidgeting in the office, not knowing what to say for a while, and then Canglong changed stations, which were the morning news of CNN and BBC in the United States, they reported almost the same content, but the host and the way of reporting were different

But what they all have in common is that they are worried about the security status quo after the return of US troops to Iraq, and now that the US president is aware of the news, I am afraid that he is convening cabinet members to discuss how to deal with it

"Look, it's not bad, I want to rely on the terrorist organization, I'm innocent," Canglong calmly turned off the TV, and Ye Lun had nothing to say

At this moment, he felt that he had underestimated this young man, and in such a short period of time, he had actually come up with a way to deal with it, and he could still make the terrorist organization admit it, how much ability it would take to do it, but now he is already riding a tiger, if he knew that Canglong was such a thoughtful person at the beginning, it is estimated that he would not have staged this play, but would have assisted him with all his might

It's just that Canglong is so young, for Ye Lun, I really can't believe in his ability, and now it's too late to apologize, it's obvious that Canglong doesn't need to apologize: "I once gave you a chance, but you didn't catch it, but instead did it against me again and again, Longteng International doesn't need such a person, even if my mother thinks you are all capable."

Canglong's words have been said very bluntly, Ye Lun and Wang Daoming left the branch, basically, the encirclement of the US military has become an ornament, as long as the morning dawns, if the Americans still stay here to surround the branch, it will cause greater news, and then the whole world may be overwhelmed with rumors, China and the United States have a conflict or something

When Petraeus got the news, his face was so ugly that he called Colonel Mike to question him, but Colonel Mike said that the news had definitely been blocked, and Petraeus naturally understood that all this was Canglong's troublemaker, and at this time, he understood that he couldn't deal with Canglong with ordinary methods

As for the assassin, he is the number one killer in the world, who in this world dares to assassinate him

However, Petraeus was unwilling to withdraw the army, because he knew very well that Thomson must be hiding in the branch of Dragon Ascend International, which was really a dilemma for him

Soon the order of the Ministry of Defense was issued, telling him to immediately evacuate the troops from Zubayr and return to the base to avoid further disturbances, and it was ordered by the president himself

"This guy must have thought that we wouldn't dare to go in," Petraeus was simply mad, "Didn't you use the media to expose us, then I will also use the power of the media to expose you, there is an old Chinese saying, catch a thief, you have to get dirty, wait until I find Thomson under the eyes of the media, I will see how you explain it then"

So Petraeus gave Colonel Mike an order not to evacuate while perfunctory to the Ministry of Defense, and notified reporters from major media outlets to go in and search together

At the same time, Petraeus revealed the news to journalists from the world's major media in Baghdad and personally sent military planes to take them to Zubayr

"It's strange why the Americans haven't withdrawn yet" At nine o'clock in the morning, there were already many onlookers outside, a small number of foreigners and most locals

"You see, the reporters are here, what are the Americans trying to do," Shrimp looked through the scope as an interview van drove by, with a huge abbreviation on it

"Oh, the Americans, are they going to embarrass themselves, even the reporters from the BBC and Al Jazeera have arrived," Bai Wuchang looked surprised, at this time they really couldn't imagine what the Americans were doing if they didn't withdraw, staying here to besiege them, after all, a terrorist organization had just admitted that they had attacked the U.S. military, and the U.S. military surrounded the Chinese National Petroleum Company early in the morning, which was really weird

Canglong sat in his office and watched the live broadcast of Al Jazeera on the TV screen, and from the content of the reporter's report, Canglong learned what the Americans wanted to do

He then picked up the radio and ordered the snow leopard: "All weapons are hidden, don't panic when the Americans rush in"

"Why," the snow leopard wondered

"Isn't it a great pleasure to let the whole world see Americans lose face," Canglong smiled and turned off the radio

Because when the Al Jazeera reporter interviewed the US military commander outside, the US commander said that the terrorists who attacked the US military were hiding in this building, so they surrounded the building, but because of the Chinese company, they have not attacked it, but they have already negotiated with the Chinese embassy, and the embassy has approved their actions, but do not harm the Chinese employees inside

Under the planning of the American commander, the reporter followed the American army and began to storm the building, but from the whole time, they found that there was no attack, and when they entered the building, they only found Chinese employees who were choking on smoke bombs and almost fainted, why they said that they were all employees because they were all wearing suits and ties, and none of them were holding weapons

The U.S. military was very strange, and after checking one by one, they found that although some people were wrong, they did not find weapons, but this was not their first goal, so after getting them out, they began to search the entire building thoroughly, and the U.S. military searched for two hours, and found nothing

The reporters of the television station immediately turned their attention from the search of the US military to the Chinese employees, and they were interviewed in fluent English, and told the reporters that the US troops surrounded the place in the middle of the night, delaying their work a lot, and they also received news from the oil field that the US military had arrested many of their oil workers and detained them in the base

These words reached the ears of the whole world clearly, and when Petraeus saw this report in the American Embassy in Baghdad, his face immediately turned pale, and he slapped himself in the face, and without saying a word, he completely became passive and active

The media around the world began to condemn the actions of the US military, and most of them said that the US military returned to Iraq and seized Chinese oil workers in order to get a legitimate bid for China's oil extraction in Iraq

CNN reported more directly, saying that the US military in Iraq did not arrest the real culprit, but wasted time on offending the Chinese, which is simply the most stupid behavior, and strongly accused the Supreme Commander of the US military in Iraq, Petraeus, of being this stupid guy

As for the BBC's report, it tends to be calm, saying that the top priority of the US military is to rescue Thomson, and apologize to China for the misunderstanding caused by this incident

After such a report, anti-American sentiment in Basra has risen, and countless Shiite and Sunni people have come to the US consulate in Basra province to demonstrate and demand that the US troops get out of Iraq, Iraq is Iraq's own Iraq, and the Americans staying here will only bring terrorist attacks and war

Of course, such demonstrations were suppressed by the local army, and gradually subsided

At the same time, the White House held a press conference, and the spokesman said that he hoped that the Chinese side would understand the matter and release the Chinese workers who had been mistakenly arrested by the US military as soon as possible

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also responded, hoping that the US side would release the Chinese workers as soon as possible and ensure their safety

After such a fuss, the Americans could not threaten Canglong even if they grabbed the Chinese oilmen, because Canglong made a detailed list and handed it to reporters from major media around the world, and if they were harmed before the US military released them, it meant that they were abused in the US military base

Colonel Mike is now in a dilemma at the US military base, if they are not willing to let go of these Chinese workers, the whole world will pay attention, and even the White House says that it is misunderstood, and what reason is there for them to detain them

At this time, Petraeus was even more anxious, and the Department of Defense had questioned his leadership ability and asked him to rush back to Washington to face a court-martial, because he indirectly ignored the orders of the Ministry of Defense and carried out the follow-up operation of slapping himself in the face

So when he got on the plane to Washington, Petraeus didn't understand why they didn't find Thomson, could it be that Canglong had really been transferred, maybe it was true, maybe not, but what he should have considered was no longer on the Iraqi side, but the investigation of the military court

Běi Jīng: The usual intelligence meeting at the headquarters of the General Intelligence Agency is underway, and the three giants of the intelligence community are gathering, and the deputy director and chief of staff of the General Intelligence Agency are also present

"Old Long, your son is doing a good job," the big leader looked at the report in his hand, his face full of smiles

Long Yunshan was silent, but Li Ruomo was very happy, because Canglong did not disappoint them, and now the Iraqi Americans are already anxious, and when they are re-selected as the commander and ambassador of the US forces in Iraq, it is estimated that Canglong has completed the layout

"This incident doesn't mean anything, young people are so reckless, if you are unlucky, it is us who fall into passivity," Long Yunshan said, "This is walking a tightrope on the knife mountain, and if you fall down, you will be broken into thousands of pieces."

This made Li Ruomo dissatisfied: "Luck is also a kind of strength, not to mention that he has done very well and successfully"

"He's gambling on the entire energy crisis in China," Long Yunshan said coldly, "If he is really allowed to hold a high position, wouldn't he be gambling on the fate of the whole of China, but fortunately, he is only the acting president now, so we should be happy."

"Ability is luck and luck, but young people do things like this, and old dragons don't have to care so much," He Jun said suddenly, "He's your son, don't be too strict with your juniors."

"Yes, Lao Long has such an achievement, which is already very good, although the proportion is not accurate, but it is good to hone and hone," the big leader also spoke, if you really let Li Ruomo speak, the two of them have to quarrel again at this intelligence meeting, "A year has just passed, how long has it been for him to work hard, and the General Intelligence Bureau can also contribute appropriately."

After the meeting ended, Chen Yingyang, deputy director of the General Intelligence Bureau, suddenly stopped Li Ruomo and said, "Xiaomo."

"Uncle Chen," Li Ruomo turned his head and nodded politely, "Is there something wrong?"

"I can't talk to you if I have nothing to do," Chen Yingyang said with a smile, "Does the Iraqi side need our help?"

"Didn't Director Long already give the order not to mix and come in," Li Ruomo said strangely

"The big leaders have expressed their positions, what can Lao Long do," Chen Yingyang said with a smile, "What is the need, just tell me that the little guy's achievements are obvious to all, and we should fully support it."

"Thank you, Uncle Chen," Li Ruomo nodded, "If there is nothing else, I'll go first."

Chen Yingyang nodded: "Go, go, go, you must remember Uncle Chen's words, if you need anything, just tell me that the energy of the General Intelligence Bureau in Iraq is still greater than your fifteenth bureau after all."

"Definitely," Li Ruomo nodded, and then left directly
