To get goods to Aleppo, Koyan has two routes to choose from.

Both roads have to head south from Baghdad and then turn west, following Highway 1, passing through the dangerous towns of Fallujah and Ramadi, before having to make a choice between continuing west along Highway 1 or turning northwest on Highway 12.

The distance between Baghdad and Aleppo is about 1,000 kilometers, and the middle is basically desert, and whether Highway 12 runs all the way along the Euphrates River, or is it the closest straight line that can go basically directly to Aleppo along the Euphrates.

And there are towns all the way along the Euphrates, which are convenient for supply, but the disadvantages are also obvious, the more towns there are, the more people there are, and the more people there are, the more things that will naturally happen.

If you follow Highway 1 all the way to the west, after Ramadi, you will find a flat desert, and in the desert, you certainly don't need to worry about encountering any armed groups.

Highway 1 requires a big detour, an extra 500 kilometers of road, and if you count the road that also has to be detoured in Syria, it can be an extra thousand kilometers, and you can't get any supplies along the way, so if you want to take this road, you need to prepare enough fuel and water.

The road conditions of both roads are not good, and Gao Yang finally chose to take Highway 1, choosing to take a long detour instead of going straight for a very simple reason, Gao Yang is not afraid of the harsh natural environment, nor is he too afraid of being attacked, but he is afraid of encountering a bomb planted on the side of the road, and walking in the desert the whole way, you can avoid the bomb as much as possible.

There is another important reason for choosing to take Highway 1, and whether the route is safe or not depends not only on Iraq, but also on the situation in Syria.

The Euphrates River is the lifeblood of Iraq. It is also a lifeline for Syria. The route from Baghdad to Aleppo is at the Euphrates. The Euphrates River in Syria is also densely populated with towns and cities, and government forces and rebels have been fighting fiercely, and at least half of the way through the Euphrates River has to be crossed through heavily fought towns.

As for going west along Highway 1, although it is a big detour, it will be much easier to cross the border, and after entering the territory of Syria, it will also be a large desert with no people. There are several routes to choose from, avoiding areas of intense fighting, and not having to worry about encountering people until entering densely populated areas of Syria, but by this time he is very close to Aleppo.

The route has already been decided, since Gao Yang is in charge, there is no need to delay the time to discuss the route, Gao Yang said directly to the driver: "Let's go west, from the desert, how is the condition of the car, is there enough fuel, do you need to replenish any supplies?"

The driver hesitated. Nodding his head, he said, "The condition of the car is fine, but the water and oil are better replenished." ”

Gao Yang thought for a moment. "How far can the oil last?"

The driver looked at the fuel gauge and said, "Two hundred kilometers is still no problem." ”

Gao Yang snapped his fingers and said, "Very good, what's your name?"

"Murava. ”

"Murava, you can call me captain, there's a walkie-talkie, right? Adjust the frequency, and set off in five minutes. ”

Gao Yang didn't even want to tell these people who were destined not to deal with each other for a long time, after he finished speaking, he asked for the frequency modulation of the walkie-talkie handed by the driver, returned the walkie-talkie to the driver, and then took two steps, raised his hand and shook it twice above his head.

Gao Yang sat directly in the car, and Erin, who acted as his driver, whispered, "It's done?"

"That's it, ready to go, go to the supply point in Ramadi first, and the truck needs to be refueled. ”

Erin started the car, didn't speak again, and after watching the people scattered around return to the car they were supposed to ride, Gao Yang said in a deep voice on the walkie-talkie: "Let's go, go to the supply point in Ramadi first." ”

Before Polovich was kicked out of Big Ivan's huge arms group, he had always been the largest arms dealer in West Asia, and a considerable part of his goods were shipped from Iraq to Syria, so the line they took was actually familiar to Polovich, and if supplies were needed, Polovich naturally had a reliable source.

The so-called supply point was not set up by Polovich, but the supply point is to add oil and water or something, you only need to pay for it, Polovich can use it, Gao Yang can of course use it, this is like a gas station, it's just a gas station that Polovich is familiar with and has a friendship with.

The car drove up, bulletproof off-road in the front, on which sat Li Jinfang, Frye, Cui Bo, Andy He, Rafael and five of them, mainly assaulters, with Cui Bo a sniper, this combination of opening the road in front is the most flexible group, whether it is an assault, or stick to the spot, there is enough protection and firepower, and it is suitable for both distance and near.

Gao Yang and Erin drove a sedan, and the two of them, one assault and one precision shooter, were very convenient for plugging in from behind to support the road van or to support the support vehicle that followed behind.

In the middle, and behind the wagon, there was a machine-gun truck driven by Grolev, Bruce and Lucika, whose main task was to support.

At the end, there are Jensen and Tommy's mortar trucks, both of them need a certain amount of time to exert firepower, and if they really encounter an attack, it is unlikely that the attacker will let go of the first four cars to hit the last one, so if they are attacked, the two of them must quickly get out of the car, and then Jensen will cooperate with Tommy to play the maximum range of artillery fire, and then Jensen will use drones to reconnoitre.

Each of the five cars pulled a distance of 100 meters, and after getting on the road, they traveled at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour.

There are basically no cars at night, but the road conditions are really bad, and now Iraq is in ruins, but unfortunately no one cares about the revival of Iraq, and there is a big bomb crater on the potholed road from time to time, and there are deliberately set up roadblocks and the like so that the speed of 50 kilometers per hour has seemed very fast.

The first dangerous hurdle along Highway 1 is that you have to go through Fallujah.

The U.S. military has been in Fallujah over and over again, and they have not been able to completely grasp Fallujah until they left, and after the U.S. troops left, the result is needless to say, the Iraqi government has already given up the control of Fallujah, and now the Iraqis who dare to go to Fallujah are either terrorists or fearless true warriors.

If you take Highway 1 from Baghdad and take the first road, you will reach Fallujah for a hundred kilometers, and the speed will be fast and slow, and they will be close to Fallujah after two hours.

"The chief, already close to Fallujah, has seen the signs, and the barricades have increased significantly. ”

Satan's internal communication and the people in the truck were isolated, and after hearing the report of Frye's play, Gao Yang immediately said: "Be vigilant, be ready for battle, turn off the lights, and drive stealthily with night vision devices." ”

"Understood, drive covertly. ”

After the other three cars signaled their understanding, Erin pulled down the night vision device on her helmet, then turned off the lights, and then she looked at the truck behind her through the reflector, and said with a smile: "Boss, what about the truck?"

Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about them, it's good to let them be the target to attract firepower." ”

Erin laughed and said, "Boss, you've learned badly." ”

Gao Yang shook his head with a smile and said, "I also feel that I have become bad, but, Erin, do you feel that those people who are following us are not on the right path." ”

Erin shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "Of course it's not the right way, they're not a good way to go." ”

Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "I think something is wrong, how to say it, now I am basically sure that the goods we escort are not banknotes at all, and now the problem is back to the state before we just started to take on this task, if the goods are not banknotes, then, what kind of goods do we send, can be worth 20 million US dollars in commissions? Do you think a truck can pull more valuable things?"

Erin frowned and said, "Boss, I think I have a bad guess right now, which makes me feel very bad. ”

Gao Yang nodded and said: "Me too, I don't have time to tell you the details of the situation, the goods have been robbed in Mahmoudiya once, but they have been returned again, if we are not transporting money, then, the only thing I can think of is ......"

Erin's face was grim, and she said, "Biological or chemical weapons." ”

Gao Yang sighed and said, "That's right, it's too easy to associate. ”

Erin was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "In the Middle East, Syria has a huge chemical arsenal, the Americans said Iraq has it, but they didn't find it, another country with a chemical arsenal is the Shah, and the bearded man talking to you is a Bedouin." ”

The main ethnic group of the Shah is the Bedouin.

Gao Yang sighed and said, "I know, so, we have to talk about this matter carefully, I plan to talk to you about this matter when Ramadi is replenished, and in addition, now that we have taken over the goods, if we want to find out what the goods are, at least we don't have to rely on guessing." ”

Irene said in a deep voice, "I have to figure it out, sir, if we send a truckload of chemical weapons to Syria and hand them over to the rebels, God, I can't imagine what will happen next." ”

Gao Yang nodded silently and said: "We are mercenaries, mercenaries should not have a position, should not have a tendency, this is a principle, but, let this principle go to hell, we are mercenaries, but also people! We cannot become executioners who slaughter tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people." ”

Erin said faintly, "Agreed." ”

Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Also, think about it, if it is really a biological or chemical weapon, given to the rebels through our hands, think about how big and bad the consequences will be in this world, even if we will not be condemned by our conscience, we are finished, completely finished, even Ulyanko and Polovich they dare not touch these things, selling arms, and selling weapons of mass destruction, are two different things." ”

After finishing speaking, Gao Yang waved his hand and said solemnly: "So, no matter what, find out what the cargo is, if it is really what we guessed, then terminate the mission immediately! I will inform everyone later, and there is no need to discuss this." (To be continued......)
