Chapter 258: The mission is over, it's time to go home
"God, bless your people!" Billie draws a cross on her chest. Almost all the people of Baghdad saw the light, rising in the air, and after a certain height, suddenly rushed headlong into the crowd. As if the end had come, Billie suddenly collapsed on the ground, feeling the ground tremble greatly.
There was a loud "boom", and then the surrounding forehead glass was shattered. Smoke billowed from the place where it was hit, and the shockwave spread in all directions, eventually engulfing everyone around it in flames and smoke.
Billie looked at the smoke coming from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She seemed to see the apocalyptic vision, too. At this time, the sound of a helicopter was heard in the sky. Two helicopters flew towards the site of the explosion.
Then, just as the helicopter was about to reach the sky above the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, suddenly there was another sound from the river, and a bright light flew up again, and then a helicopter released jamming bombs in the air. But it didn't seem to have much effect, the missile exploded as it approached the helicopter. Huge impact and shrapnel hit the helicopter.
A helicopter descends diagonally from the sky. "Boom-" fell down. Another helicopter opened fire decisively into the river, instantly blasting the two speedboats in the river into slag and causing a violent explosion. The helicopter circled in the air and then retreated.
The city of Baghdad is already in chaos. Groups of armored vehicles drove out of the US military barracks, and military vehicles and ambulances whizzed by. The streets were quickly overrun by the military. U.S. and Iraqi soldiers, as well as local police in Baghdad, are already on duty in the streets.
The missile was launched from a yacht in the Tigris near the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After being identified by ballistic experts on the spot, it was a standard missile and an air-launched Stinger missile. This discovery shocked the military experts present. How could such a missile, one for attacking tanks and the other for air defense, both very strict weapons for hanging in the air, appear in the hands of terrorists? Could it be that they still have internal connections in the army?
If it was, it would be terrible. Everyone present was in a cold sweat. At this moment, several cars drove quickly towards this side. The one in the middle is a Cadillac bulletproof car. The convoy stopped, but leaned against the side of the road, which did not prevent the ambulance from helping the wounded at the scene.
The car door opened, and an old Western man got out of the car, he frowned, and then there were cameras and cameras aimed at him to shoot, these are the reporters that the US military has allowed to come in and shoot since then.
"Mr. Carter, it's not very safe here, let's go to the hotel for you. We have strengthened our defence efforts there. I assure you, there will be absolutely no problems this time. A colonel of the U.S. Army said to the old man standing outside, his face a little nervous, and the members of the special service team in black suits were scattered around him.
This old man is none other than Deputy Secretary of Defense Stoneff? Mr. Carter. He frowned at the colonel; "No, Mr. Colonel, this is a dismount they have given me, and I suppose that if I go away like this, it means that I am afraid. But here I am, I'm fearless, and I'll show them that I'm not going to give in, never! With that, he posed for the reporters to take pictures.
After posing for a photoshoot, at the Colonel's insistence, Stoneff? Carter got into the car anyway, and the convoy drove away towards the hotel. Once in the car, Stoneff? Carter remained silent and did not speak, his face almost dripping. Then he looked at the colonel and said, "Was it the CIA who gave us the last warning?" Why didn't we change course in the end? Why hasn't this information been taken seriously? ”
"I'll find out, Your Excellency!" The colonel wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Stoneff? Mr. Carter said, "What do we do now? Still going to the Palace of the Republic? ”
"Go, why not? We cannot afford to show weakness at this time. "Stoneff? Carter said coldly, "As you can see, the situation here is definitely not stable. That's why I'm here. Colonel, isn't this an opportunity for us? ”
"I see." The colonel nodded.
At this time, Billie had slowly adjusted her mentality. She was ordered to return to the C.I.A. headquarters in Baghdad. So she made a phone call to contact Qiu Fengyu. Qiu Fengyu is on the way. In a dozen minutes you will be in Baghdad. So Billie stopped a military Humvee, identified herself, and asked the soldiers to send her to the city gate to wait for Qiu Fengyu's arrival.
Qiu Fengyu's car was stopped as he entered the city. Billie passes, and the two identify themselves again. Only then was they released, so that Qiu Fengyu and Billie could enter the city smoothly, and then set off towards the headquarters of the CIA. Billie sat in the car and didn't say anything. It's silence.
"The old man was hit?" Qiu Fengyu said to Billie, "If that's the case, our mission is over and we can go home, isn't it?" He shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.
"No, the Deputy Minister of Defense is not dead." Billie looked at Qiu Fengyu, "At the last moment, they still didn't let the old man arrive as originally planned, but let another group of people reach within a time limit, I don't know if they changed their minds temporarily because of our intelligence, but it is certain that our trip to Baghdad, whether he is dead or not, has ended." ”
Qiu Fengyu nodded: "This is a good thing for you, now your state is no longer suitable for performing tasks." It's time to go home. ”
Billie didn't speak. This mission was indeed a bit more than she could bear. She didn't have that feeling that she was good in her heart for a long time.
The car drove into the CIA's headquarters, and after checking their identities, let the two in. They were met by a middle-aged man. After the two entered, Billie saluted him, and Qiu Fengyu sat next to him very casually, and the man didn't mind, waving his hand casually, signaling Billie to sit down too.
Someone brought coffee. Qiu Fengyu nodded in thanks, and then the man went out and closed the door. Now there are only three people left in the office. Director, Qiu Fengyu and Billie. The man smiled at Qiu Fengyu, walked over, stretched out his hand and smiled, "Allen? Watson, the director here, I've heard of you for a long time, thank you very much, Qiu, for your timely information. You were born to be a very good intelligence officer. ”
"You're welcome." Qiu Fengyu stood up and shook hands with him, then sat down again and said to him, "What are our tasks next?" "He didn't want to talk to this guy any more. He already knew that he was likely to go home. So there is no respect between words.
"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about your mission this time. It's done very well, I'll report it to my superiors, and in return, you'll finish your mission here and go back to rest. You can enjoy your vacation, and ...... You will be rewarded. "Alan? Watson said to Billie, and then turned to look at Qiu Fengyu, "You were recommended to us by the FBI, if you want, you can join us, I promise you will be taken seriously." ”
"Thank you very much, Mr. Watson, but I have no interest in any of that." Qiu Fengyu said, stood up, took a big sip of coffee, "I think we should leave too, our mission is over, isn't it?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Qiu, thank you very much!" Watson nodded at Qiu Fengyu, "The next thing is relatively simple, I think we can arrange it very well, please rest assured, Mr. Carter is very safe." I'll arrange your trip as soon as possible, and tomorrow at 9 a.m., we'll have a rotating group of soldiers, and they'll take the military plane back to the United States. You will walk with them. Is there a problem? ”
"No problem, sir!" Qiu Fengyu nodded, and then said to Billie, "It's time for us to leave, Billie." ”
Billie suddenly got up and saluted Mr. Watson again, and then turned around and left with Qiu Fengyu. As the two of them left the office, a tall young woman in a black suit and skirt came over and said to them, "Mr. Qiu and Miss Parrish, hello, Director Watson has already arranged a place for you to live, please come with me." ”
"Are we being watched?" Qiu Fengyu smiled at Billie, who looked at the woman blankly, nodded, and walked out with her. Then I walked around the large courtyard a few times, and finally took a car to a large military camp. In the barracks, the two were arranged in different barracks.
The conditions are not bad, at least there is air conditioning available. Qiu Fengyu is not picky, and after separating from Billie, he has been staying in the barracks and has not gone anywhere. Then someone brought dinner. Dinner tasted ok with steak and tomato soup, as well as fruit salad and drinks. It was the woman who had brought her over.
After eating and drinking, Qiu Fengyu didn't think about anything, so he moved around the room for a while. Then he began to sleep, and after all this toss, he did feel very tired. The most important thing is to take good care of your spirit.
But the hardest thing to sleep is Billie, after dinner, she has not been sleepy, and she can't just wander around the barracks, so she can only be alone in the room in a daze. I didn't feel sleepy until the middle of the night. It wasn't until the next morning that I slept for a while.
After breakfast, it was the woman who took the two of them and sent them to a 747 passenger plane chartered by the US military. A total of 176 people returned to the United States with the plane, plus more than 20 wounded and sick. Including seventeen soldiers injured in this explosion. They will be honorably discharged when they return home.
However, these have nothing to do with Qiu Fengyu, he and Billie are arranged in first class. There are also several CIA agents who have returned from here and several senior officers in the military. (To be continued.) )
