Chapter 465: Arrival in Baghdad

The Tower of Babel in Babylon, ignoring the superstition part, is indeed a masterpiece of ancient civilization. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, although it is called the Tower of Babel. But according to archaeological finds, the height of this Tower of Babel built by Neo-Babylon should be between 91 meters and 96 meters. The length and width of the foundation are about 90 meters, and it climbs upwards in a stepped shape.

It's just that the glory of the past has long since vanished, and the Tower of Babel is only a broken and desolate foundation.

"I guess the Spanish navigator Mendanha found something in the Solomon Islands." Lotus pinched her chin and speculated, "It's a strange name to say." I remember some accounts of a large number of Europeans flocking to the city, digging around, trying to find King Solomon's treasure. The result is naturally nothing. ”

"Is it just that this place attracted a lot of treasure hunters just because of the name it was given?"

"Of course not!" Li Jiani shook the parchment paper in her hand and said with a smile: "It must have been Mendania who discovered something, and finally someone from the Spanish royal family knew about it, so he sent Cames Ernst." ”

"His fleet first came around to the Solomon Islands, but when he was about to go to Iraq to hunt for treasures, he sank!"

"Possibly." Lotus nodded. While there may be some discrepancies in the details, this should be the case in general.

"And what are we waiting for?" Li Jiani shook his arm and said coquettishly: "Go quickly?" Solomon's treasure! ”

"Go now?" Lotus wondered: "Don't you go to the Mariana Trench?" ”

"I'm coming back!" Li Jiani rubbed her hands and said happily: "Let's get all the treasures in our hands and play!" ”

"This is a map from hundreds of years ago, a treasure from thousands of years." Lotus reminded her that she didn't have a score yet.

"Eun!" Li Jiani was not affected at all, and said sweetly: "Let's go!" Let's go to Iraq! ”

"Let's go."

....

When it comes to Iraq, the first impression of most people in the East and West is war and various terrorist activities.

The Iraqi people are suffering and suffering in a dire environment, and everyone hates the US military who brought them to this situation...

Of course not.

To be reasonable, in the early days of the coalition occupation of Iraq, they were widely welcomed by the Iraqi people because of the end of the rule of the Sadam.

When the U.S. military entered Baghdad, it was welcomed by local citizens.

Sadam is not a Kazafi, and under his tyrannical rule, Iraqis have not had a good life at all.

The U.S. military brought war, casualties. But it also brought freedom and a relatively stable government and some medical care.

It is said that Iraq is dangerous, chaotic and warlike. But in fact, countries have been quietly increasing their commercial investment in Iraq, if it is really so miserable, who would dare to go?

Of course, the terrorist activities of various extremist groups also exist. But this really can't be counted on the head of the coalition forces. And how many civilians died at the hands of Sadam in the first place? Countless.

As for why the US military is going to fight Iraq... It's also not for that bit of oil. Come on, that resource is nothing compared to the war budget invested by the U.S. military.

Frankly, they really are maintaining order in the world. The tyranny of Sadam has exceeded the bottom line.

Of course, there must be a lot of political and interest factors mixed with this. For example, the war will consume the excess production capacity in all aspects of the country, consolidate the status of the international leader, and so on.

All in all, there's a lot of mess going on here.

....

The capital of Iraq, Baghdad.

Anyway, the city is really scarred. Not to mention the modern war, there is no one in history where it has suffered two massacres...

The first occurred in 1258, when Genghis Khan's grandson Hulegu led a Mongol cavalry that destroyed the walls of Baghdad with cannons, and then the army invaded the capital of the Arab Empire.

The Mongol horsemen killed people and burned the whole city to the ground. Nearly 1.2 million people died under the butcher's knife, and the Babylonians were exterminated!

The second occurred in March 1401, when the Turkic Timur sent 20,000 troops to attack Baghdad. On July 10, 1401, after the invasion of Baghdad, Timur ordered the massacre of the city in a brutal manner under the pretext of avenging the death of his generals during the siege of Baghdad.

Well, regardless of the history, at least for now, the city is pretty good.

The two dressed in Arab costumes did not stop too much, and went straight to the ruins of the ancient city of Babylon 90 kilometers away...

At half past three in the morning, at this time when even cats may not be willing to **, a man and a woman began to act.

"Husband, how's it going?" Li Jiani raised her arms and twisted bewitchingly, and her seductive figure was even more exaggerated, "My belly dance, okay?" ”

Isn't it going to take action? Why did you suddenly dance! Lotus looked at the exotic dancer and praised, "Great." ”

"Hey, hey.." Li Jiani was even more proud when she heard this, and her slender waist, which was as delicate and white as mutton fat, writhed even more seductively.

"Okay, go back and show me the jump." Lotus patted her little buttocks and signaled for her to take in the supernatural powers. It's easy to twist things out of this wilderness. There's serious work to be done.

"Good!" Li Jiani's little face under the veil was flushed. She thought to herself, why didn't she think of it before? Some dances can add a lot of fun! And these clothes full of ethnic characteristics are also very good!

"Yes." Lotus glanced at the white and tender little belly, and instructed while putting on the armor: "Change your clothes, I don't know how deep you have to dig yet." ”

"Okay!" Li Jiani nodded happily, quickly ripped off her Arab dance robe, and wore tights and pants to equip her armor.

Lotus took advantage of the gap to glance at her unserious underwear, this is prepared!

Li Jiani noticed his gaze, pretending to be shy and tilting her head slightly, but her mind had already begun to make up for the various celebratory postures after waiting for a while to find the treasure.

....

In a moment, thousands of kilometers away from the remaining foundations of the Tower of Babel, two figures jumped into the fresh, hot passage.

In the 100-meter-deep hole, Li Jiani shoveled the rock wall in front of her fiercely, and said excitedly: "Here, fight here!" ”

"Yes." Lotus estimated the distance and bearing, and raised her hand to shoot at full power.

"Rush Rush!" Li Jiani waved a small shovel and couldn't wait to climb in.

"Eh," Lotus looked helplessly at the twisting metal butt in front of her and instructed, "Be careful." ”

"You know!" (To be continued.) )
