Chapter 582: It's Time to Go Home
A few months ago, Benital had been tasked with escorting several investigators from the so-called United Nations Commission of Inquiry on Jewish Settlements to Hebron.
There are many so-called holy places in the Middle East, and Hebron is one of them.
Hebron is located not far from Jerusalem, just forty kilometers away, in the West Bank.
This place was formerly the territory of the Alabis people, but after the Arab-Israeli war in the sixties, it was occupied by the Israelis, who began to forcibly build Jewish settlements in Hebron.
Before the Jewish settlements were built, almost 100 percent of Hebron's inhabitants were Palestinians, and it was not Israel's territory, but Israel had to build a Jewish community of hundreds of people here, which was like pouring a spoonful of cold water into a pot of boiling oil.
After Rabin's assassination, the Arab-Israeli conflict continued to escalate, and hopes for peace became increasingly slim. With the mediation of the United Nations, the two sides reluctantly reached a peace agreement in '96 and early '97 – Israel withdrew its troops from the West Bank and dismantled illegal settlements, while Palestinians could no longer support terrorism in their country.
However, after the agreement was signed, Israel continued to use various excuses not to withdraw its troops from the West Bank and not to dismantle Jewish settlements. After all, the Palestinian national strength is too weak, and apart from getting some car bombs to kill a few Israeli civilians, it can only file a complaint with the United Nations, hoping to use the power of the United Nations to sanction Israel.
The United Nations also has a headache when it encounters this kind of thing, and Israel's backstage is too big for them to provoke. Palestine's demands are legitimate and legitimate, and the United Nations, as the nominally supreme power organization on earth, cannot ignore Israel's acts of aggression.
As a result, successive groups of so-called investigators and envoys went to this powder keg to coordinate and investigate.
Because he is a United Nations investigator and has a neutral position, the selection of the security team is also painstaking, and it is best not to have security personnel with Arab-Israeli backgrounds to be responsible, so the task of guarding this time fell on the heads of Liu Jinlong Huiyu and other Chinese employees.
The journey was relatively peaceful, there were no dangers, and the so-called investigation was that several investigators went to the outside of the Jewish settlement in Hebron to take a few pictures. The military armored Humvee engine that Liu Jinlong was driving was not working, so these investigators got into the car again and urged Liu Jinlong to return to Tel Aviv as soon as possible.
Liu Jinlong pouted to himself, what is the use of this kind of superficial and sloppy investigation? However, he is just a security officer, and his task is to escort and obey orders, so he is happy to complete this task as soon as possible so that he can go back quickly.
After completing this task, it is basically time to return to China, I just met with Wu Tian a few days ago, and Wu Tian's course is almost over, saying that the boss may want to set up a security company in China, and everyone can be the company's veterans at that time.
But Liu Jinlong was not excited about this, and the half-battlefield life of more than half a year made him seem to have returned to his days in the army and rediscovered the value of his existence.
Thinking of leaving this dangerous area soon, Liu Jinlong was still a little reluctant.
Could it be that he is really just a bodyguard in his life? In the dead of night, Liu Jinlong asked himself for a long time, but what can he do? If he has a wife and children, even if he does not think about himself, he must think about his wife and children.
It was calm when he came, and now Liu Jinlong didn't dare to take it lightly on the way back, during this time, he had seen too many tragedies, maybe when a car parked on the side of the road would explode, and maybe someone would take out an AK47 from under his robe and shoot wildly.
Although this Humvee has the flag of "UN" on it, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be remembered by some well-intentioned people.
It didn't take long for them to reach Jerusalem, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because in any case, the danger here was much less than that of Hebron, and it seemed that the mission should not be risky.
According to Liu Jinlong's plan, they should go directly to the Jerusalem Ring Road and drive more than 70 kilometers to return to Tel Aviv, but several investigators had never been to Jerusalem before, and they were very curious about some of the places of interest, and insisted that Liu Jinlong take a detour from Jerusalem, especially Mount Zion.
Of course Liu Jinlong will refuse, what kind of joke, whether there is any danger or not, at least it is different from what was agreed in the contract in advance, but I didn't expect several investigators to call the person in charge of Benital directly, complaining that Liu Jinlong did not cooperate, and Benital could only let Liu Jinlong and others try to meet the investigator's requirements for future orders.
With the company's instructions, Liu Jinlong had no choice but to obey the order and drive through the city of Jerusalem in the direction of the Temple Mount.
If you want to enter Mount Zion, you must pass through the Zion Gate, the structure of the Zion Gate is very peculiar, it is not directly passed, but the entrance and exit are at right angles, some small cars can pass through carefully, but the width of the Hummer driven by Liu Jinlong is basically about the same width as the Zion Gate, it is impossible to turn in, and a few people can only get off in front of the Zion Gate and enter on foot.
Because they had a United Nations pass, Liu Jinlong and the others could enter with guns, and followed several investigators into Zion Gate.
As the only entrance and exit of Mount Zion, there are many tourists coming and going from Zion Gate, and just around the corner, Liu Jinlong suddenly felt alarmed, and just wanted to call a few investigators, he saw a tall man wearing a mask and a cap coming towards him.
Liu Jinlong's heart was not good, and his hand had just reached into his arms to hold the handle of the gun, but he saw the man quickly take out a pistol with a silencer from under his T-shirt, shoot three times at the leading investigator, turn around and flee.
Liu Jinlong's eyes were split, and he ordered Hui Yu and the others to call an ambulance and protect the other two, and got up to chase after him.
At this time, Zion's Gate was already in chaos, screams and cries for help came and went, and the members of the Israeli National Guard at the gate sounded the siren, which made the whole city nervous.
Liu Jinlong's feet are very fast, even though the injured man is more familiar with the terrain, he can't get rid of Liu Jinlong, but he is getting closer and closer to being pulled by You. Seeing that someone was chasing, the man turned around and fired two more shots, one missed, and the other shot grazed Liu Jinlong's cheek and shot into the city wall.
Liu Jinlong only felt that his cheekbones were hot, but a ruthless energy surged in his heart, and his footsteps not only did not stop, but became a little faster.
Temple Hill is full of dead ends, and it didn't take long for Liu Jinlong to force the other party to death in a corner, the two of them fired a few shots back and forth, Liu Jinlong had been calculating the other party's remaining bullets, and while the other party was changing the magazine, Liu Jinlong flew up, hugged the other party and pressed him to the ground.
As soon as the attacker was subdued, and was about to ask the other party where he came from, the National Guard arrived at the right time and took the attacker away without saying anything, along with Liu Jinlong.
Benitar has a semi-official background in Israel, and Liu Jinlong was released after spending less time in the guards, and when he came out, he heard news reports that Palestinian extremists had shot and killed a United Nations investigator.
Palestinian extremists? After listening to the whole story, Zhang Chen sighed in his heart, it is not certain where the extremists are.
However, these have nothing to do with Zhang Chen, he is more concerned about the safety of Liu Jinlong, Wu Tian and others.
"Isha, Wu and Liu, have they come back from Tel Aviv? Alright, book them a ticket back to Huaxia in two days, right. Zhang Chen called the administrative director of Tinder.
After being away for so long, it's time to go home.
