Chapter 101, Symbol Competition
Su Su's report was that the message had been sent, and soon the intelligence station at the headquarters would receive it, and Shen Wansan had also found the intelligence station in Iraq, and the supply of weapons was not a problem, but the more important problem was that their mission was not approved by the headquarters, so the personnel of the intelligence station only promised to provide them with the necessary weapons and equipment, but did not provide intelligence support
And he will immediately report the situation here to the General Intelligence Bureau, at that time, Shen Wansan was in a hurry, and directly tied up the intelligence officer, at least when they arrived at the intelligence station, he would definitely not be able to get out
"If you want the General Intelligence Bureau to know first, it will be troublesome" Xiami's face was solemn, and even if he successfully completed the task, he would be censored if he went back, if Li Ruomo knew first, he could still prepare them
"That's no way, we can only contact the intelligence officers of the General Intelligence Agency in Iraq, and Tek has most of the intelligence networks in Iraq, and a few points have been assigned to the General Intelligence Bureau, and they have been terminated by the Americans, so we can only find the intelligence station of the General Intelligence Agency," Shen Wansan said helplessly
Xiami didn't blame him, as a member of the old special department, he knew better than Shen Wansan about the intelligence network after the disbandment of the special department, and now the largest intelligence network of the 15th Bureau is still Li Ruomo, although the intelligence network of the former 15th Office is very dense, it is far less huge than the intelligence network of the General Intelligence Bureau
So once they fight abroad, they have to rely on themselves
"I remember Ruomo, that woman seems to have said that the intelligence network of the General Intelligence Agency is not credible, otherwise we will go to the intelligence station and wait for the head to come over and decide what to do," Bai Wuchang proposed, "The intelligence network in the Middle East is definitely not much worse than your General Intelligence Bureau."
"How do you know so much about him," Su Su asked
"You don't look at how many missions he has carried out in the Middle East before, and many of the tasks are done alone, but if it is really said that it is done alone, I don't believe that it is useless to have a strong intelligence support capability," Bai Wuchang said lightly
Several people nodded, this may be the reason why Bai Wuchang trusted Canglong so much, two hours after sending the signal, they changed the safety point for Fan Xiaoxiao and Amat, and then packed everything and went to the intelligence station, as for how Canglong found them, this didn't seem to be a problem for them to consider, but a question for Canglong to consider, Bai Wuchang's face always seemed to reveal a sense of confidence in Canglong
Twenty hours after the Iranian team sent a message for help, Canglong got off the plane and passed through the airport customs smoothly
If you have never been to this country, if you just look at the news, you will find that Iran is a country that is often associated with negative keywords such as terrorism, crisis, and threats, and there are very few things about chemistry, economy, and society, and even the Chinese media prefer to interpret this country in this way
In the eyes of many Chinese, "dirty, chaotic, poor" is basically the theme of this country, and the controversy in this country basically comes from the conflict with the United States and the European and American media reports on it, and the reprinting of Chinese media makes many people think that this country is like this, but everyone forgets that these international news make everyone's subconscious begin to link with the logic of Americans
If you post a Weibo on the Internet and say that you travel to Iran, most of the comments you may get are blessings for peace, which is definitely an abnormal phenomenon, but Iran is really an unsafe and turbulent country, no one seems to have thought about it
In fact, the vast majority of the Middle East is safe and peaceful, except for very small areas and very special moments of such turmoil
What the media do every day is to quote a large number of reports from European and American media, imitate the caliber of European and American media, and copy their thinking logic and discourse expressions, and over time, form a "manifest worship" of European and American countries and "implicit discrimination" against developing countries
For example, the same people take to the streets to protest in Europe and the United States, our media will call it "illegal chaos", while in developing countries we call it "just revolution", the same large-scale criminal trials and shootings are "normal rule of law" in European and American countries, and in developing countries, it is "human rights violations" or "** rule"
It is not known when this bias began, but it is a "symbolic competition"
At present, public opinion information is essentially a "symbol", and in the "symbol market" of global public opinion, every opinion and report content is a product, while China is a "knowledge deficit", and the external news is almost completely introduced, and the symbols often made by the European and American media are gradually and unconsciously "brainwashed"
In developing countries, especially those disputed countries, many people think that it is a turbulent place, and if something happens, it must be a bad thing, but they have never thought that they may have an excellent life, a peaceful life, a high degree of zì yóu, and an elegant and bright state
Iran is such a country that has been misunderstood by many countries, and no one knows that ancient Iranianization has some foundational role for the development of the entire Arab world and even the Western world, and the determination of Christian "worship", Christmas, and Easter may all originate from the worship of the god of light in ancient Persianization
Many people think that Iran is a difficult country to go to, but Iran is one of the few countries that gives Chinese mainland visas on arrival, and no one knows that Chinese goods are the most popular in Iran, although most large electrical appliances Iranians may choose rì Ben and the United States, but in large shopping malls, Chinese goods are full of Iranian life
In Europe, if you say you are Chinese, you may be labeled as unknown, but in Iran, the faces of the Chinese are the most popular, although most Chinese will have a lot of misconceptions about the country
So Canglong took a Chinese visa and passed through Iranian customs easily without going through any inspection, and even he didn't find out that anyone was following him, if it was a European and American country, it was estimated that he would have to make things difficult in every way
Many people think that Iran is a very open country, like many Islamic countries, women wear a face carve, leaving only a pair of eyes, but the real Iran tells you that this is not the case, women can wear without a face carf, very revealing, but Iranian women are very traditional, but it is true, they are only willing to marry their own men, few are willing to marry foreigners, this has nothing to do with whether they have money or not, it is just an implicit inside
Some people say that Iran blackmails the world with nuclear weapons and blocks the world's oil transportation with a blockade of the Persian Gulf, but there is a premise that the Americans have already placed the aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf, and Uncle Sam used his fists to beat Iran's two neighbors to the point that they were powerless to fight back, leaving a mess and then withdrawing
And the Persian Gulf is like China's Yellow Bohai Sea for Iran, most of which belong to Iran's inland sea, if someone puts aircraft carriers in the Yellow Bohai Sea at all times, what would it be like to be a Chinese?
In modern history, Iran has never really invaded any country, which is very similar to China, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, it seems to have become Iran's dogma, with Canglong's evaluation of Iran, they are just using nuclear weapons to defend themselves, after all, the Americans have fought Iraq and Afghanistan, if they do not have weapons to defend themselves, they may become another Iraq or Afghanistan, because Iraq and Afghanistan happen to be Iran's neighbors, to use an idiom to describe it as a neighbor
The main reason why Iran has attracted the world's attention is because the country's oil reserves are the second largest in the world, and it has never seen an American send troops to Africa to preach mín zhǔ and zì yóu, and the way he preaches mín zhǔ and zì yóu is always to beat people half to death with his fists
No one wants to be slaves, Iraqis don't want Afghans, they don't want Iran, and so they choose to defend their national traditions and their country's sovereignty in a way that the world can't understand
On the other hand, what if China is a weak country, and the humiliation of modern times seems to have given many people an answer: a weak country has no diplomacy and no human rights
After getting off the plane, Canglong took another flight directly from Tehran, the capital of Iran, to the metropolis of Kermanshah in western Iran, which is also only two hours away from the Iraqi border, and it took two hours by plane, so it was exactly twenty-four hours when he arrived at the border
But Canglong is not worried that Team B may be wiped out by the Americans, although the people may not know the Middle East, but Bai Wuchang, the Russian military master, absolutely understands the Middle East, especially the Russian military master of Iraq, who is constantly fighting, is more familiar with it
In Manshah, he found an old friend he hadn't seen for years, an Iranian arms dealer named Ali Daei
Most of the arms on the black market in Iraq are smuggled from Iran, and there are many arms dealers like Ali Daei, who are the largest border arms dealers
When the Americans fought Afghanistan, Ali Daei supplied arms to the Afghans on Iran's eastern border, and when the Americans fought Iraq, he came to the west, and now he supplies arms at both ends
Ali Daei has his own network of contacts and connections in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has dealt with Americans at all levels
However, he mainly provided it to some foreign mercenaries, as well as some guerrillas in the two countries, but not to the jihadist organizations, not because the jihadist organizations' checks would bounce, but because the jihadist organizations were already rats crossing the streets in the Middle East, and everyone shouted and beat them, and it was not the so-called Islamic national jihad that they preached
Someone once scolded Ali Daei for making war money, but Ali Daei retorted that the Americans made tens of thousands of times more money in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan than I did, and I gave weapons to Iraqis and Afghans to defend their lives, but they were slaughtering
This quote is a satire of the money earned by senior U.S. officials in the two wars: before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Iraq's indigenous oil industry was completely nationalized, and a decade later, most of it was privatized, and most of it was dominated by foreign companies, including Halliburton, where former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney was CEO
Many U.S. and domestic companies profited enormously from the Iraq War, with the top 10 companies signing contracts with the U.S. for the Iraq War with a total value of $72 billion, with Halliburton's KBR leading the way with $39.5 billion in contracts
Canglong and Ali Daei developed a deep friendship, because Ali Daei was once directly assassinated by the US Department of Defense Intelligence, Ali Dayi spent a lot of money to hire Canglong to protect him for ten days and saved him several times
If you had to describe Alidaii in one sentence, many people would say that he was a devil, but Canglong would say that it was a devil that he liked
