Basra, Iraq.

"Bang-"

"You cannot go in ... ”

In the Iraqi police station, Major White with two entourages and another middle-aged white man in civilian clothes did not pay any attention to the somewhat pale and feeble obstacles of the Iraqis, and went directly to the office of the chief of the Basra police.

"Who are you?"

The director, who was slightly bloated and had a Mediterranean hairstyle, asked loudly with some embarrassment as he watched three U.S. servicemen and a man who seemed to be government officials push the door straight through the door and walk in.

"CIA, we need to take the two Iraqi translators who were just released by the terrorists for investigation!" The middle-aged white man in civilian clothes took out his documents and shook them, then shook off a document and handed it to the other party.

"But they have just been released, and we are investigating... ”

"Leave it to us!"

The director looked at the expressionless CIA agent, and the three American soldiers who had not had the slightest expression and had indifferent eyes, and when they saw White's epaulette rank, their pupils shrank slightly, and they smiled a little embarrassedly: "Wait a minute, I need to make a call and ask for instructions... ”

。。。。。。

Two Iraqi interpreters, who had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, were pushed into a military Humvee by four heavily armed American soldiers, and Major White shook the CIA's hand with a smile on his stiff face.

"Thanks, please drink another day!"

"No, bring me two bottles of Ace of Spades champagne, I know your supplies are here again, damn it, don't make a big deal out of it... ”

"We don't count it, if we can rescue people successfully, we don't want to get into trouble, okay, I'll go first!"

Watching White sit in the car, a group of heavily armed and astonishing soldiers around him got into the car quickly, and five military Humvees raised a puff of dust and drove away.

The CIA agent stretched out his hand to disperse the dust, "These bastards!" cursed as he sat in his car, and after getting into the car, he picked up the car satellite phone and reported, "Boss, the people have been taken away by them." ”

"That's good, I hope this group of mad dogs can rescue people smoothly... ”

Hearing the words of his own boss, the CIA agent was also in a cold sweat, you must know that since the Freedom Eagle Security Company has put employees to Iraq and Afghanistan, the success rate of completing tasks is 100%, not only the combat effectiveness is super strong, especially the weapons and equipment and logistics supplies, etc., which are all jealous gnashing of teeth.

Especially the high welfare treatment,Gathered a large group of killing machines with war creations,In order to complete the task,This group of mad dogs will even use SMA-D83mm bazooka to saturate the target building,And then carry out fire clearance。。。

And the reason is because their big boss behind the scenes,I don't like to see the casualty reports of their own people.。。。

In a rotten place like Iraq, the best place to find American coffee, champagne, red wine and cigars is the station of the mad dogs of the Freedom Eagles, which are well treated, but this group of mad dogs has also been planned to plunder and rob Iraq on a large scale from the beginning of the war.

From the very beginning of the war, the large-scale plundering and looting of Iraq was already planned.

War money is the easiest to earn, and the money earned by the Freedom Eagle from this kind of capture and mission is more than the US military is just a residue leaking from the fingers.

U.S. administrators, as the occupation "authorities," seized all Iraqi assets and cash around the world – totaling $13 billion.

They confiscated $3 billion of all Iraqi property in the United States and forcibly transferred assets from Iraqi accounts in Swiss banks to United States troops. They have also requested and received a cumulative amount of about $21 billion in United Nations food-for-oil funds.

In the first weeks of the occupation, U.S. forces controlled $6 billion in property, 4 billion of which came from the Central Bank and other Iraqi banks. They opened an account with the Development Fund for Iraq at the New York branch of the Central Bank of the United States, and the operation of its assets was carried out in a highly secret manner. However, about $40 billion has been "missing".

。。。。。。

"Phew!"

A giant black man in camouflage pants and a small vest spat in disgust, walked out of the interrogation room, and saluted Major White, who was standing in front of the special glass.

"Sir, it has been confirmed that the kidnappers are a group of militants who are infiltrating the black market, and the target of the other party is CBS TV reporter Richard Butler... ”

"Did you find out what it was?" Major White's eyes flickered as he looked at the interpreter who was still curled up on the floor in the interrogation room.

He didn't know, he only knew that this group of people released him to send a signal to the outside world that they would release him when they got the ransom, not to kill people. The location of the hiding is unknown, and they have been wearing hoods all the time, and it took a long time to drive around before they were thrown out of the car, but it is confirmed that the place where they were hiding was still in Basra. ”

"Hehe, it's getting more and more interesting!" Major White grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, can make a group of people so desperate to kidnap in the city, even now, they still want ransom, this group of guys has a really big appetite, not small, so it will be more valuable to dig.

"Sit, this time you go to meet with the middleman, the main thing is to bargain, delay as much time as possible, I will let someone accompany you, and protect your safety by the way. Major White said to Roberts.

"Okay, I got it. Roberts was relieved to hear that someone was keeping him safe, and to be honest, the locals had guns in their hands, and those who could do the work of guides and bodyguards were not very clean, or they could just say that they were bodyguards during the day and robbers at night.

After Roberts left, Major White said to another person: "According to the tracker, keep an eye on that middleman, and if you confirm that the other party has a direct connection with the kidnappers, immediately secretly control him, pry his mouth open for me, and I want to know the specific location of this group of miscellaneous people!"

“Yessir!”

White frowned and shook his head, he also knew that the possibility of obtaining intelligence from an intermediary was very small, and the anti-reconnaissance experience and ability that the Iraqi militants had cultivated over a long period of time could not be underestimated.

In fact, the best and the stupidest way is to ask the Iraqi security forces to help with the search and rescue, door-to-door investigation, but he does not have that kind of ability and influence.

Then all that's left is to make dangerous moves and break the rules to complete the mission.

Knock Knock –

"Come in. ”

"Sir. A strong white man in civilian clothes saluted White.

"Any news?" White looked at the other with a hint of hope in his eyes.

"Report, the first bounty has already been taken, Richard Butler had a secret meeting with three black market merchants in the week before he was kidnapped, and all three of them were antiquities smugglers, and according to the information provided by the other party, Richard Butler had in his possession thousands of precious manuscripts and some famous early works on medieval Arab history, literature, and natural science!"

"Sure enough!" Major White listened to the report, with a sneer on his face, this is completely reasonable, black eats black, temporary hexagram and kidnapping, these guys really make any money.

"Can the three antiquities smugglers be identified?"

"The other party only provided the name of one person. ”

"Find him at once, bring him back to me, he's sure to know the identities of the other two, hehe, I'm sure he'll tell us who his rival is!"

Major White's stiff face was finally occupied by a smile, not because he was happy to be able to save people, but because of the news revealed in this incident, he saw the value of profit, you must know that he is not a pure soldier now, he needs to generate profits for the company, which is worthy of his work sitting in an air-conditioned room, drinking red wine, smoking cigars, and holding millions of annual salaries.

Since the invasion of Iraq by the United States forces, at least 10 million historical documents and 14,000 historical artifacts have been destroyed and stolen. A large number of cultural goods are flowing to the black market and abroad.

The Hague Conference Law on the Protection of Historical Relics, which stipulates that in the event of a war, the occupying party has a legal duty to protect its local cultural relics, which is a document of international law with the nature of legal sanctions, and is completely unbinding as the United States, which has never signed this document.

Many of Iraq's treasure troves of antiquities are military bases occupied and guarded by the U.S. and Bolan forces, who continue to excavate and steal to this day, and Iraq is currently home to the world's most active black market for antiquities smuggling.

As the head of the Freedom Eagle Security Company in Iraq, White naturally knew that the precious artifacts in every loot he received would be packed into boxes and directly loaded into the military plane to send supplies and transported back to the United States, where they would become the collection of the big boss, and their executives also knew about the big boss's hobby.

White groaned, picked up the satellite phone and called Joseph to report the news and arrange for a possible harvest transfer.
