Chapter 250: The two of them are still running in
Billie disagreed with Qiu Fengyu's words. As a professionally trained agent, she firmly believes that even a humble position is an indispensable part of a giant machine. Every position is important. And she insisted that she was a good agent and would not be sent to a marginal position.
Well, this chick just doesn't give up. But think about it, there are still four days before the old man will visit, so there is no need for Qiu Fengyu to argue with her, just accompany her to Baghdad to have a look, and let this chick die is the best thing. Now that I think about it, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Defense is not dead, and it really doesn't have much to do with himself.
He took the task very seriously. But the role of being put on the edge of others does not have a great responsibility, and there is no need to bear any conscience uneasiness. This is a transaction in itself, and he has no way to control the final outcome of the transaction, because the object of the transaction is not something he can control.
The car travels in the desert. This time, Billie isn't so tsundere. After the previous incident, she obviously spoke a lot less, and she didn't really have any other requirements than stubbornly wanting to go to Baghdad. He didn't talk much along the way, and he didn't respond much to some of Qiu Fengyu's jokes.
It is estimated that this girl was still shocked by the situation at that time. When things are experienced, there may not be a lot of emotional outpouring, because between life and death, no one can take care of anyone, but once this kind of experience is experienced, slowly settle down, and those negative emotions will rise like weeds after the rain.
Qiu Fengyu won't explain her, it's useless, a chick with a bit of a stubborn temper, it's really useless to talk too much, but there is a rebellious mentality. And this chick's stubbornness is based on what she thinks is good. And these so-called excellent are just the results left on paper during the test.
To put it bluntly, it was this chick who was kicked in the head by a donkey. Qiu Fengyu is only responsible for driving. While in Najaf, there was a stop, filled with oil, replenished with water and food. Then continue on the road. Also thanks to the transformation of their faces and their current outfits, they are like locals, except for a slight difference in Qiu Fengyu's face. Most people don't look closely at the difference. So there's no hassle either.
Najaf is a little better than the previous Semavo order. They moved on smoothly. Along the way, Qiu Fengyu told Billie about his story. In fact, he was not very far from the soldiers who were transporting supplies before, so after hearing the gunshots, he began to rush back.
However, he is only one person after all, so any action should be planned before it can be started. So in the end, it was inevitable that the soldiers would suffer casualties. Billie understands this, too. But I just can't let go of it quickly. When it was dark, they rushed to the city of Karbala.
Karbala was the final destination for the soldiers transporting supplies. There are US military bases there. It is also a relatively large US military base. In total, more than 5,000 soldiers were stationed in the local city and suburbs. Qiu Fengyu was interrogated when he entered the city, but they still passed the customs smoothly.
They didn't divulge their CIA identities everywhere. Sometimes this status is not very useful, at least the military and the CIA do not have the same jurisdiction. Not necessarily buy your account. On the contrary, revealing your identity will cause you some trouble to perform your mission, and the gains outweigh the losses.
When I got to the city, I found a hotel to stay in. It has everything you need in any city, but the water is controlled, and there is only water for bathing at certain times. The rest are pretty good, at least Qiu Fengyu is very satisfied.
He is a man who is easily satisfied. Dinner is local, a restaurant that two people found on the street, where it can be difficult to eat Western food, and basically the locals don't have a good impression of Westerners. Mainly from the unpleasant memories of the nineties. And this place is a place that has been frequently bombed by coalition forces.
Qiu Fengyu's oriental face and Billie's modified face of a native Arab girl are still easy to blend into. Originally, Arab girls rarely intermarried with foreigners. However, after Qiu Fengyu's face was tanned, and with the turban he was wearing, he looked similar to a native Arab.
"Hand grasp the sheep, a pot of black tea, add some sugar." Billie spoke proficiently in Arabic, and then looked at Qiu Fengyu proudly, it was obvious that she could order food in Arabic, this was her advantage, she waited for Qiu Fengyu to beg herself, this was a little self-conscious. She's actually still a girl, that's what she is.
"Beer, plus a black pepper steak, uh, and a cabbage at the end." Qiu Fengyu speaks English. The person in charge of ordering nodded, said "wait a minute" and left.
Watching the reception leave, Billie looked at Qiu Fengyu in amazement, and then an incredible expression appeared on her face. Qiu Fengyu smiled and pointed behind Billie, where there was a row of text and pictures describing the dishes, with double notes in Arabic and English.
So don't think Arabic is your advantage. In fact, the U.S. military has been operating here for many years, and not everyone here does not like Americans, on the contrary, they will find business opportunities and make the money of these American GIs stationed here, so many restaurants will serve customers bilingually. English is their must-have language, for these merchants. ”
Billie snorted, seemingly feeling a little dismissive, but also a little frustrated. And in order to show the characteristics of her authentic Arab girl, she also deliberately ordered a sheep that many Arabs like. She'd never tasted what it was like to be inside a sheep.
The dish came up, and Billie's sheep inside looked a little disgusting. But it was already in front of her, and the thin and tall hostess looked at her with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation. This forced Billie to hold her breath and take a bite, forcing her to vomit and a smile on her face.
"It tastes great!" Billie nodded and smiled at the young man, "It's been a long time since I've eaten such a delicious lamb, I'm sorry, I need a drink......" she swallowed the food in her mouth, and then took a sip of tea.
The young hostess laughed, "This is our best food." You are very discerning. ”
Well, Qiu Fengyu smiled at Billie. Wait for the hostess to leave. Billie quickly poured a cup of tea, poured a sip, and wanted to swallow some of the flavor that still had in her mouth.
"Pretty good taste, isn't it?" Qiu Feng smiled at her, and then began to enjoy his steak. And he also gulped down beer. This is a very typical way of eating for local Iraqi youth. Under the influence of some GIs from the U.S. forces stationed here, many young Iraqis began to be exposed to American culture.
They also started eating steaks, and there were American Pepsi Colas in the shops and pirated American movies in the movie theaters. While Iraqis do things like burning American flags during demonstrations, they talk about American music and movies in their spare time. There are also some local businessmen who are also earning money from American GIs, so they have a complicated mentality towards these Americans.
Unless it is an extreme organization, they will not take the initiative to greet the Americans with an unfriendly attitude. On the contrary, they are sometimes very enthusiastic about the American GIs who come to the store to consume.
So the attitude of the people of this place towards Americans is complicated. Qiu Fengyu didn't care, he didn't care about this. Sometimes, he can even take advantage of this more delicate relationship.
Billie finished eating a plate of lamb and felt her stomach churning. But she had to eat it, because the young waitresss seemed to be staring at her, perhaps too proud of his signature dish, and liked to watch the guests finish it. As soon as she got out of the store, she found a corner of the street and vomited.
"I think you're eating so happily, why did you throw up?" Qiu Fengyu's harmless expression made Billie want to punch him in the nose. She wiped her mouth, glared at Qiu Fengyu fiercely, then pulled on the veil, covered her face, and walked forward without saying a word.
There wasn't really anything in the city for the two of them to observe. This is where the US military is stationed, and although there have been attacks, the success rate of the attack is not very high, so the number of attacks against the US military here has gradually decreased. And those weak areas controlled by the U.S. military are happening more frequently.
Returned to the hotel. Qiu Fengyu lowered the curtains. A room opened by two people. Qiu Fengyu said: "I'll take a bath, if you want to, you can be together." ”
"Shameless!" Billie snorted, sat down on the bed, and turned on the TV. It is a relatively old-fashioned thick LCD TV, the screen is only about 24 inches, but there are many TV stations, and the hotels here basically have some satellite dishes that are connected privately, and you can see satellite TV from many countries.
After Qiu Fengyu finished washing, he came out with a bath towel. He looked at Billie sitting on the bed and said, "There are still five minutes to go, and if you don't wash now, you'll have to wait until about one o'clock in the morning to get water to shower, are you sure you have to wait until then?" He shrugged at her, "I suggest you hurry up now!" Four minutes to go! ”
"Oh, ****, why did you just tell me?" Billie jumped up when she heard this, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Definitely, yes. With that, he rushed into the bathroom. (To be continued.) )
