The platoon strode over, shook Basel's hand, and said angrily: "Uncle Basel sues me, who hurt you, is it the beasts of IS, or the Kurds who have forgotten their homeland?!" Although the young men of the Luer tribe are not many in number, they are all brave warriors, and we will make the other side pay! ”
"It's an ordinary Baghdad......" Basel didn't have time to explain anything to the platoon commander, struggling to sit up half of his body, "It doesn't matter who hurt me!" I have come to the city to look for the Apostle of the Fire God at the behest of your father, the priest of Alayi! ”
"What?! The Apostle of the God of Fire, appearing in the city of Baghdad? Was it my father who got the oracle? The platoon commander repeated, his expression was strange, half shocked, half puzzled.
"Amir, your father has not been able to communicate with God for many years, which is why he asked the government for those two rhinos, and I will ...... on the plane back to Baghdad," Basel briefly told platoon commander Amir what had happened on the plane and what had happened next.
"Amir, we are only a week away from the deadline given to us by IS. We must do our best to find out if he is an apostle of the god of fire. I am now inconvenient to inform all the Lurs in Baghdad one by one, so you should quickly send your men to bring the information to the other Lurs who are soldiers and business in the city, and mobilize everyone to find them. Basel said.
"Okay, I'll do it right away, Uncle Basel, do you have any characteristics of that Oriental?" Emile immediately thought of the few Orientals he had met at the zoo in the afternoon, and thought to himself that it might not be such a coincidence.
"Oh, there are three of them, a middle-aged man and a young man, and it is possible that they are the mercy of the Vulcan Apostle...... Well, by the way, on the plane, although the flames did not hurt his skin, they burned a lot of his hair, and he shaved his head! ”
"Didn't you even shave off your eyebrows?" Amir asked, stunned.
"That's right! Yes! Basel got up from the stretcher, the range of movement was so large that it involved the wound, and the pain came out of his sweat, and he grinned and asked, "How do you know?!" ”
"I, I only met him an hour ago, wine at the Baghdad Zoo. But he represents China, and the she-bear of the Russian Moran Group is still protecting him. ”
"Moran Group? That's tricky. Basel frowned.
Aimir pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed with perseverance, and said, "Since it is related to the messenger of the fire god, I can't take care of it so much, it is important to find people first!" ”
With that, he stood up and turned around and walked out of the checkpoint.
Outside, his voice was soon heard in a rapid, but methodical command.
"Assemble! All assembled!
The deputy platoon commander immediately got in touch with all the Luer fighters stationed in Baghdad, including the third platoon of the second company of the third regiment of the eighth infantry division, the cook squad of the logistics department of the first motorized brigade, and the luer platoon ......of the third mountain regiment. ”
Outside the sentry post, figures flickered, and military orders were sonorous.
……
Baghdad Zoo, Director's Office.
Su Ming used to feel that his office was the lowest grade among the country's 'department-level cadres', but now he knows that it is really more frustrating than frustrated, one park is poorer than the other, the director's office of the Baghdad National Zoo is a big rough house, there is not even air conditioning, a big electric fan that will only appear in the domestic beef ramen food stalls, humming around.
Fortunately, the poorer the business, the smoother the business was negotiated, and in less than two hours, the two sides had already negotiated the procurement.
There are 225 animals in total, which is almost half of the total number of animals in the current Baghdad Zoo. Among them, there are also giraffes, pythons, crocodiles and other large animals that Su Ming wanted before, which together cost a total of 240,000 US dollars. The other two rhinos, calculated separately, cost $20,000 each.
If they are placed on the international black market, these animals can be sold for several times the price, but whether it is the status of the leader of the state-owned zoo or his devout religious beliefs, it is impossible for the elder of the zoo to sell the animals on the black market.
In Su Ming's view, it is too cheap, so cheap that it is outrageous, it is the previous purchase in four private zoos, this trip only cost less than 350,000 US dollars, converted, more than two million Chinese dollars, it is equivalent to more than one-third of the total number of birds and animals in Yangchuan Zoo at present, many of which are rare in China and special animals from the Middle East and large beasts, this deal is too cost-effective.
It's not just a matter of money, in addition to going to the black market, in other countries and regions, money can't buy so many protected animals. Su Ming's identity also determined that it was impossible for him to go to the black market to buy it.
There is actually a historical reason for the cheapness. After the Yankees withdrew their troops from Iraq, there were only a few dozen animals left in the Baghdad Zoo at that time, and the newly formed Iraqi government, in order to show the country's prosperity, disregarded the carrying capacity of the Baghdad Zoo and forcibly added hundreds of new animals, making the zoo show a false prosperity.
Unexpectedly, within a few years, the war broke out again, and the government had no time to take care of the zoo, and it had not allocated funds to the Baghdad Zoo for half a year, and the cost of raising animals and staff salaries would not be paid, and a sum of money was urgently needed. Without selling a large number of animals, the Baghdad Zoo would not be able to sustain itself, even with government funding.
In the end, the old Arab director also put forward a request that can only be restrained by the conscience of both sides: if one day in the future, peace is restored in Iraq, and I hope that Su Ming can cooperate with the Baghdad Zoo to help them rebuild the zoo.
"I have to say that you are a wise old man, and the potential value of this request alone in the future may exceed those hundreds of thousands of dollars." Lyudmila said to the old director of Baghdad.
"The baptism of the years has brought me not only the aging of the body, but also some insignificant wisdom. In this young man, I saw a glimmer of hope for the future. The old principal smiled and said.
"Okay, Mr. Principal, let us solve the future affairs, now we have to go back to the hotel, tomorrow morning, I will let Adnan communicate with the Ministry of Tourism, and transport all the animals back to China." Miss Lyudmila, tonight I need you Moran International to provide thirty of the best mercenaries to stay in the zoo to prevent accidents. Su Ming arranged.
"No problem." Lyudmila nodded, took out the phone, and called back to Moran International.
At that moment, the roar of a car's motor sounded outside the room, and several strong searchlights shone on the office window.
"What's going on?!" Su Ming walked out of the door and saw that there were seven or eight military trucks parked around, and hundreds of heavily armed Iraqi soldiers surrounded the office.
In the glare light, the platoon commander who had left before stood at the front of the crowd, and beside him, two soldiers carried a stretcher, on which lay a mummy.
"Oh, that's him!" The mummy roared. (To be continued.) )
