Chapter 1385: Planting
Seven hours earlier, Abdullah bin Al Saud was ambushed by a group of militants on his way to Mecca from Jeddah City, the country's second-largest city, the country's largest port and an important financial center, at the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies.
The ambush point was close to Jeddah, and the attackers apparently thought that the city of Jeddah, which was near the sea, would be conducive to retreating, and they would leave with one blow!
Al Saud, along with another Saudi prince and six bodyguards, were all killed in the attack, not only beaten into a sieve, but also nearly charred.
Judging from the traces and items left at the scene, the attackers obviously made sufficient preparations in advance, using Soviet-style equipment, even the bullets were original Soviet goods, and the whole attack process was very professional and clean!
The attackers first arranged IEDs on the side of the road, detonated when two Maybachs passed by, and directly blew the leading one into rags, and then blocked the road with trucks at both ends, and at the same time fired fiercely at the second Maybach, and the princes' bodyguards did not even have a chance to fight back!
After that, he entered the city of Jeddah and disappeared.
This means that the local garrison and police are conducting a large-scale investigation, and at least so far nothing has been found.
Zhang Nan was very angry, and he was a little angry - is it that he doesn't like to be a backbiter, or is he framed by someone!
I wanted the life of the 250 prince, but I didn't want to kill the other party directly, this time someone obviously wanted to take advantage of this incident to throw the pot on himself, as if he was planning it behind his back.
The call was from Thomas, who had recovered from his recovery, and when the boss finished his anger, he said on the phone: "Andrei's people have gone to Jeddah, and at the same time, through the CIA's connections, they are putting pressure on the previous contacts in the Saudi intelligence agency to provide first-hand information..."
Even if the Saudi army and police are abolished and such a big thing happens, there will be no clues after a few hours, which can only show that the attackers are well prepared, and the infiltration and evacuation arrangements are seamless!
According to Thomas, the attackers did not even leave Jeddah at all, because there are many places in the city that the army and police have no access to investigate.
An attack of this scale, dozens of people are enough, Ji Dacheng is not small, if any member of the royal family wants to hide such a number of people, there is a place!
These can only be investigated slowly, and the main force still has to rely on the Saudis, and it is currently necessary to figure out whether this attack is simply because someone wants Zhang Nan to be unhappy, or whether the instigator behind the scenes originally had a contradiction with that Abdullah, and just let Zhang Nan be the backbiter.
If it is the former, it is sinister;
If it's the latter, it's called 250 hatred! According to Zhang Nan's style of retribution, it is impossible to let the enemy live comfortably, and this will rush to make a move, making it clear that Zhang Nan will be unhappy!
There is also a possibility that Abdullah is also just a fish in the pond that has been hit, and the target is another prince.
Everything is possible, and it's complicated to think about.
The phone was on the phone for more than ten minutes, and finally Zhang Nan suddenly thought of something, and said it, which made Thomas on the other end of the phone stunned for a moment, "It's Maybach, and the CIA's contact in the Saudi intelligence agency is talking about two Maybachs." ”
This anger will also pass, Zhang Nan said: "I said Thomas, now there is Maybach for sale?"
"Huh?"
Thomas was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of what the problem was: because of the war, the German Maybach sedan was discontinued in 1941, when it was the only luxury luxury car brand that could compete with Rolls-Royce.
A year or two after the outbreak of World War II, the market for luxury luxury cars was completely gone, and Maybach cars had to be discontinued, and the company made every effort to produce various engines of the same brand for military needs.
More than 50 years have passed since then, and the Maybach sedan has not yet resumed production.
But who said that those two princes who had become dead ghosts couldn't ride in Maybach!
"Boss, maybe those are two antique cars?"
Zhang Nan was white-eyed and made a joke.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it, I'll return to the United States as soon as possible, that's all. ”
I hung up the phone and felt breathless—I had taken it for granted according to empirical theory before: I sometimes thought of getting a few special Maybach 62 bulletproof cars, but Maybach would not resume production until five or six years later, so I didn't have to buy it.
Zhang Nan's time to become a rich man is still too short, and he has not learned some special hobbies of those really rich people: he likes to collect antiques, but he does not have the habit of collecting antique cars, and the 250 prince is likely to ride a Maybach produced 41 years ago.
Fortunately, it was Thomas on the other end of the phone, otherwise it would have been an upstart joke.
Hang up the phone here, in order not to scare others, this is all in the suite lounge.
Before he could go back to the bedroom to say anything to the two women who had already gotten up, a servant knocked on the door outside the suite, and it was Tom who had brought another satellite phone.
The phone was on a tray, and Tom lowered his voice slightly, "It's Mr. William Jefferson." ”
Yes, Mr. Zipper, it looks like this is a real problem.
"I'm Alan, pick up William..."
It is impossible for Mr. Zipper to put the earpiece to his ear and wait for the phone to be delivered to Zhang Nan's hand, so naturally there will be other people around him waiting.
After a few simple words, he gave the other party a reassurance, explaining that he didn't let people do it, and that's it.
Mr. Zipper's call was not due to a special inquiry, but a reminder among well-meaning friends - he also had his own source of news, and it was obviously not much slower than that of the "United Forces".
After hanging up the phone, I thought about it and went back to the bedroom to put on my coat, where the women were freshening up in the bathroom.
I walked to the study and closed the door, made a few more phone calls, and then returned to the bedroom suite.
The two women looked at him, and the satellite phone was in the bedroom, and the two of them were woken up by the ringing of the phone, and the conversation was heard.
After living in England for a few years, my English has long slipped to the level of almost my native language, and even if there is a difference between American English and London accent, I still understand it.
Something, or a big deal!
Seeing Zhang Nan coming back, Zhang Li asked, "Is there something?"
"Well, it's a bit of a mess, it's easy to solve, but I'm going to get back to the U.S. as soon as possible, and I'll be able to deal with it over there. ”
As soon as possible, the sooner the better, the two women didn't say anything about it.
Originally, Zhang Nan would have to stay in Shanghai for two or three days at most, because it takes time to approve the charter flight route, and this trip seems to be about the same, not much difference.
I called my brother-in-law and Guan Xingquan on a landline, explaining that they wanted to go back to the United States as soon as possible, but not long after, Guan Xingquan and Xiang Weirong came, and the former also brought his new wife.
The three men talked about things behind closed doors, and Guan Xingquan said: "Is there a big trouble?"
