Chapter 1029 Pashtuns

……

Pashtuns are the predominantly Muslim ethnic group in southeastern Afghanistan and western Pakistan. Accounting for about 42% of the total population of Afghanistan, it is the main ethnic group of Afghanistan, commonly known as 'Afghans'!

At the same time, the Pashtuns are descendants of the Pathans and are one of the most militant and warlike peoples in the world.

The Pashtuns, who live in the mountains, are backward and closed.

When Pashtuns are faced with the choice of starvation, they do not hesitate to go down the mountains to rob the wealthy families of the plains, or merchants from Central Asia to India in order to feed their families. Pashtuns do not consider attacks to be crimes. On the contrary, they believe that the more intense the attack, the braver the man.

So in the tribes of the Pashtuns, almost everyone carries a gun. It has also created the existence of 'Peshawar', a world-famous black market for firearms.

Over the past half century, from the invasion of the Soviet Union to the arrival of the Americans, endless wars have exacerbated the turmoil in the southeastern region of Afghanistan. In order to protect themselves, more and more light weapons and man-portable missiles are flowing into this area, which also makes it the best hiding place for international terrorists!

For this, the Americans also have some worries in their hearts, in addition to bombing, they did not send more ground troops!

So, these Pashtun tribal settlements in the mountains of Afghanistan can be called barbaric areas in civilized society!

Because the streets are narrow and there are a lot of pedestrians around, Liu Dong's car drove very slowly, and it took nearly ten minutes to come to the city center!

Raise your eyes, and a beautiful mosque appears!

Similar to Burmese Buddhism, a devout faith. This makes the mosque the most ornate building in the city. And because of the proximity to India. Influenced by it, this mosque in Kamdesh is full of Hindu architecture!

Surrounded by four pillared minarets, with white walls and a circular dome in the middle, it is somewhat similar in style to the famous Taj Mahal, but of course much less luxurious and magnificent!

Looking at the mosque bathed in sunlight and exuding holy brilliance, Liu Dong suddenly thought of Zhou Dunyi's "Ai Lian Said", "Out of the mud without staining." Clear ripples but not demons'!

Comparing the surrounding dirty and dirty buildings and the impoverished and yellow-skinned people, plus the already chaotic regional situation in Afghanistan, isn't this mosque, which is all white and represents the best vision of the human heart, the 'lotus' that emerges from the mud and is not stained?

With a bit of emotion, under the guidance of the co-pilot soldier, Liu Dong's car came to a decent three-story building near the city center and stopped.

After a few simple glances, Liu Dong understood that this was the hotel that received them outsiders!

"Please come with me!"

After nodding, Liu Dong followed the other party and walked in.

After entering the door, the space inside was much larger than Liu Dong imagined. The length and width are not less than 50 meters, and the three-story cloister-style building. In the middle is an open patio!

Standing in the patio, you can see all kinds of characters leaning on the railing and laughing around, blacks, yellows, whites, characters from various countries and regions can be seen everywhere, and it can be seen from their fierce temperament that most of these people are elite mercenaries who have experienced war!

While Liu Dong was looking at them, these people also saw Liu Dong walking in after the Taliban soldiers.

From their words, these people were obviously deeply surprised that Liu Dong came here alone!

After entering the door, the soldier took Liu Dong to the management office of this hotel.

After a few simple words of explanation to one of the middle-aged Afghans wearing a robe and a pistol at his waist, the soldier who led the way left alone!

After the middle-aged Afghan looked Liu Dong up and down, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Kamil. Mr. Murat, welcome to Kamdesh! This time, I will be in charge of receiving Your Excellency! ”

"Thank you!" Liu Dong responded.

"My name is Amiri and I can always come to me during my stay if Mr. Camille needs any help! Of course, if you live here, please also ask Mr. Camille to respect our living habits and rules, which will inevitably cause unnecessary conflicts, and please do not go out on the street casually. If you have to go, be sure to let us know and we'll send someone to show you around ...... as Mr. Camille's guide! ”

"I understand!" Liu Dong, who was slightly surprised, but also felt that it was reasonable, nodded clearly.

As a secret military base for the Taliban forces, it obviously does not want to be exposed to outsiders, especially when the Americans are attacking Afghanistan with the intention of eliminating the Taliban al-Qaeda and then quickly!

"Alright, please come with me, Mr. Camille, your room is on the third floor!"

After explaining some precautions for Liu Dong's accommodation, Amiri took him to the third floor.

In the process of going upstairs, Taliban soldiers with guns and robes can be seen almost everywhere in the hotel, which also attracted the attention of some Liu Dong!

Such strict protective measures also made Liu Dong understand that Mr. bin Laden was on guard and valued here!

Seeing Amiri taking Liu Dong upstairs alone, the people who came to participate in the auction before, or the people who bought and sold drugs, invariably looked at Liu Dong with inquiring eyes.

Liu Dong didn't care about these people's discussions, he was calm about the curiosity projected on him, and even the malicious eyes, and the threat of these people to him was almost negligible! You don't have to worry about it at all.

Instead of worrying about them, it's better to think about how to break through the many protections here and kill Murati, the guy who made him miss repeatedly!

"This is it!"

After reaching the third floor, Amiri opened the room with house number 306.

Liu Dong, who walked in behind the other party, found that this one-bedroom, one-living room and one-bathroom, full of halal style room, was okay, although it was only fifty or sixty square meters, the area was not large, and there were not many electrical appliances, but it was very clean, and it was quite to his liking!

"Mr. Camille, here's the key to the room, for you!"

After receiving the key handed over by the other party, Liu Dong said: "What if I have a meal, you provide it?" Or do I go and buy it on the street myself? ”

"There's a menu on the table, if Mr. Camille wants something to eat, call us and we'll deliver it to your room!"

After glancing at the menu and phone on the table, Liu Dong continued: "How to calculate the cost?" ”

"Room and board, $20,000 a day, and ask Mr. Camille to clean up and go to the first floor to pay for the three days!"

Looking at this polite Afghan, Liu Dong couldn't help frowning.

$20,000?

The presidential suite of a five-star hotel is not so expensive!

Although with Liu Dong's net worth, 20,000 US dollars is not even a dime, but this kind of money always feels uncomfortable.

But if it's uncomfortable, there's no way, 'how can people not bow their heads under the eaves'!

"Got it, I'll pay later!"

Hearing this, the smile on Amiri's face immediately became a little thicker, "Then you rest first, I won't bother you more!" ”

Looking at Amiri, who was about to leave, Liu Dong hurriedly said, "Wait! ”

"What else do you command?"

"I wonder when the auction starts?" Liu Dongdao.

Amiri, who smiled inexplicably, said: "Because there are still many invited people who have not arrived, the auction is scheduled for two days later!" ”

"Two days!"

Liu Dong, who thought about it for a while, nodded, "I know!" ”

Hearing this, after nodding at him, Amiri pushed the door and left!

After closing the door, Liu Dong walked around the room, removed all the cameras installed in the hidden place, and observed the surrounding environment before sitting down on the sofa next to him and thinking about the future.

And just when Liu Dong began to think about how to act later, in a hidden room located 100 meters underground of the military base on the outskirts of Kamdesh, he was chased by Liu Dong hard, and he crossed thousands of miles from Hotan all the way to Murati, and knelt on the ground with a look of panic and fear!

At this moment, when he was still in Hetian, he was completely gone, as the high-ranking 'Jade Prince', commanding the domineering of one party!

Even when he saw the thin and tall figure sitting in the center of the secret room out of the corner of his eye, there was a clear look of awe on his face.

"Is that Liu Dong really as powerful as you say? Or is it a lie you made up to shirk your responsibility? ”

The man in the white turban raised his head, accompanied by a calm and hoarse magnetic voice, revealing a slightly thin yellow face with a thick curly beard on the chin and cheeks, and an extraordinarily sharp look in the narrow eyes!

With just one look, Murati, who was kneeling on the ground, felt a strong oppressive force coming from the other party!

Compared to the domineering power he has accumulated by just controlling the underground world of a city, the man in front of him not only controls a country, but also embraces the entire Arab world with ambitions! Whether it is status, courage, or even ability, the gap between the two is too big! There is simply no comparison!

"I would never dare to lie in front of the chief! If I hadn't been forced into desperation, why would I abandon Hetian's foundation and run to you! Murat hurriedly said.

He knew how ruthless the person in front of him was, so he would never dare to hide it in the slightest.

After staring straight at him for a while, bin Laden said slowly: "What's going on with the 'Chinese Battalion' training base stationed in Sanglich? Why are you the only one who has escaped now? Where are the rest of the soldiers? ”
