Chapter 101, Symbol Competition

Su Su's report was that the information had been sent out, and the intelligence station at the headquarters would soon receive it, and Shen Wansan had also found the intelligence station in Iraq, and the supply of weapons was not a problem, but the more important problem was that their mission was not approved by the headquarters, so the personnel of the intelligence station only promised to provide them with the necessary weapons and equipment, but did not provide intelligence support.

And the situation here, he will immediately report to the General Intelligence Bureau, at that time, Shen Wansan was in a hurry, and directly tied up the intelligence officer, at least when they arrived at the intelligence station, he would definitely not be able to get out.

"It's going to be a problem for the CIA to know first!" Xiami's face was solemn, and he changed the task without authorization, even if he successfully completed the task and went back, he would be censored, and if Li Ruomo knew first, he could still prepare them.

"There's no way around that, we can only contact the intelligence officers of the General Intelligence Agency in Iraq, and most of the intelligence networks of Tek in Iraq are classified under the name of the General Intelligence Bureau, and a few points have been terminated by the Americans, so we can only find the intelligence station of the General Intelligence Agency." Shen Wansan said helplessly.

Xiami didn't blame him, as a member of the old special department, he knew better than Shen Wansan about the division of the intelligence network after the disbandment of the special department, and the largest intelligence network of the 15th Bureau was still the intelligence network of Li Ruomo's former 15th office, although it was very sophisticated, it was far less than the intelligence network of the General Intelligence Bureau.

So once they fight abroad, they all have to rely on themselves.

"I remember that Ruomo woman seems to have said that the intelligence network of the General Intelligence Agency is not credible, otherwise we should go to the intelligence station first, and wait for the next generation to decide what to do?" Bai Wuchang proposed, "The intelligence network in the Middle East is definitely not much worse than your general intelligence bureau. ”

"How do you know so much about him?" Su Su asked.

"You don't look at how many missions he has carried out in the Middle East before, and many of the tasks are completed by one person, but if it is really said that it is done alone, I don't believe it, without strong intelligence support, it is useless to be excellent." Bai Wuchang said lightly.

A few people nodded, this may be the reason why Bai Wuchang trusts Canglong so much, two hours after sending the signal, they changed the safety point for Fan Xiaoxiao and Amat, and then after packing up everything, they went to the intelligence station, as for how Canglong found them, this does not seem to be a problem for them to consider, but a problem for Canglong to consider, Bai Wuchang's face always seems to reveal a sense of confidence in Canglong.

Iran, 20 hours after Team B sent a message for help, Canglong got off the plane and passed through the airport customs smoothly.

If you have never been to this country, if you just look at the news, you will find that Iran is a country that is often associated with negative keywords such as terrorism, crisis, and threats, and there is very little about culture, economy, and society. Even the Chinese media prefer to interpret the country this way.

In the eyes of many Chinese, "dirty, messy, and poor" is basically the theme of this country. And the controversy in this country basically comes from the conflict with the United States, as well as the European and American media reports on it, the reprinting of the Chinese media makes many people think that this country is like this, but everyone forgets that these international news make everyone's subconscious begin to be linked to the logic of the Americans.

If you post a Weibo on the Internet and say that you are traveling to Iran, most of the comments you may get are blessings for peace, which is definitely an abnormal phenomenon, but is Iran really an unsafe and turbulent country? No one seems to have thought about it.

In fact, the vast majority of the Middle East is safe and peaceful, with the exception of very small areas and very special moments when such turmoil occurs.

The daily work of the media is to quote a large number of reports from the media in Europe, the United States and Japan, imitate the media of Europe, the United States and Japan, copy their thinking logic and discourse expressions, and over time form an "explicit worship" of European and American countries and "implicit discrimination" against developing countries.

For example, the same people take to the streets to protest, in Europe and the United States our media will call it "illegal riots", in developing countries we call it "just revolution", the same large-scale criminal trials and police shootings, in Europe and the United States is the "normal rule of law", in developing countries is "** invasion" or "zhuanzhi rule".

It is not known when this bias began, but it is a "competition of symbols".

In the "symbol market" of global public opinion, every opinion and report is a product, while China is a "knowledge deficit", and almost all external news introduces symbols made by European and American media on a daily basis, and gradually, unconsciously, they are "brainwashed".

In developing countries, especially those controversial countries, many people think in their bones that it is a turbulent place, and it will definitely be a bad thing when something happens, but they have never thought that they may have excellent culture, a peaceful life, a high degree of freedom, and an elegant civilization.

Iran is such a country that has been misunderstood by many countries, no one knows that ancient Iranian culture has some role in laying the foundation for the development of the entire Arab world and even the culture of the Western world, and the determination of Christian "Sunday", Christmas Day, and Easter may all originate from the worship of the god of light in ancient Persian culture.

Many people think that Iran is a difficult country to go to, but Iran is one of the few countries that give Chinese mainland visas on arrival, and no one knows that Chinese goods are the most popular in Iran, although most large electrical Iranians may choose Japan and the United States, but in large shopping malls, Chinese goods are full of Iranian life.

In Europe, if you are Chinese, you may be labeled as uncivilized, but in Iran the faces of the Chinese are the most popular, although most Chinese will have a lot of unsymbolic misunderstandings about the country.

So Canglong took a Chinese visa, and almost did not go through any inspection, he easily passed through Iranian customs, and even he didn't find anyone following him.

Many people think that Iran is a very unopen country, like many Islamic countries, women wear face bandans and only leave a pair of eyes, but the real Iran tells you that this is not the case, women can not wear face carves or wear very revealing, but Iranian women are very traditional but true, they are only willing to marry men from their own country, and few are willing to marry foreigners, which has nothing to do with having money or not, just an inherent implication.

Some people say that Iran blackmails the world with nuclear weapons and blocks the world's oil transportation by blockading the Persian Gulf, but there is a premise that the Americans have already placed aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf, and Uncle Sam has beaten Iran's two neighbors with his fists without being able to fight back, leaving a mess and then withdrawing.

And the Persian Gulf is like China's Yellow Bohai Sea for Iran, most of which belong to Iran's inland sea, if someone puts aircraft carriers in the Yellow Bohai Sea at all times, how will it feel as a Chinese?

In modern history, Iran has never really invaded any country, which is very similar to China, people do not offend me, I do not offend, it seems to have become the dogma of the Iranian government, with Canglong's evaluation of Iran, they are just using nuclear weapons to defend themselves, after all, the Americans have fought Iraq and Afghanistan, if they do not have weapons to defend themselves, they may become another Iraq or Afghanistan, because Iraq and Afghanistan happen to be Iran's neighbors, to use an idiom to describe, that is, neighbors.

The main reason why Iran has attracted the world's attention is because this country's oil reserves are the second largest in the world, and the Americans have never seen Americans send troops to Africa to preach ** and freedom, and the way he preaches ** and freedom is always waving his fists and beating people half to death.

No one wants to be slaves, Iraqis don't, Afghans don't, Iranians don't want to, so they choose to defend their national traditions and defend their country's sovereignty in a way that the world can't understand.

On the other hand, what if China is a weak country? The humiliation of modern times seems to have given many people the answer, a weak country has no diplomacy, let alone **.

After getting off the plane, Canglong took another flight directly, from Tehran, the capital of Iran, directly to the metropolis of western Iran, Kermanshah, which is also only two hours away from the Iraqi border, and it took two hours by plane, so when he arrived at the border, it was exactly twenty-four hours.

But Canglong is not worried that Team B may be wiped out by the Americans, although the people may not know the Middle East, but Bai Wuchang, the Russian military master, absolutely understands the Middle East, especially in Iraq, where the war continues, and the Russian military master is more familiar.

In Manshah he found an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, an Iranian arms dealer named Ali Daei.

Most of the arms on the black market in Iraq are smuggled from Iran, and there are many arms dealers like Ali Daei in Iran, but Ali Daei is the largest border arms dealer.

When the Americans fought Afghanistan, Ali Daei was on the eastern border of Iran, supplying arms to the Afghans, and when the Americans fought Iraq, he came to the west, and now he is providing arms at both ends.

Ali Daei has his own network of contacts and connections in Iraq and Afghanistan, and at all levels, even with the Americans.

But he mainly provided it to some foreign mercenaries and some guerrillas in the two countries, but not to the jihadist organizations, not because the jihadist organizations' checks would bounce, but because the jihadist organizations were already shouting at rats in the Middle East, and they were not the so-called Islamic national jihad that they preached.

Someone once scolded Ali Daei for making war money, but Ali Daei retorted that the Americans made far more money in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan than I earned, and the weapons I gave to Iraq and Afghans to defend their lives, but they were slaughtering.

This quote is a satire of the money made by senior U.S. officials in the two wars, and the country's indigenous oil industry was completely nationalized before the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Ten years later, most of them have been privatized, and most of them are dominated by foreign companies, including Halliburton, where former US Vice President Dick Cheney was CEO.

Many companies in the United States and abroad have profited enormously from the Iraq war, with the top 10 companies signing contracts with the U.S. government for a total of $72 billion. Among them, KBR, a subsidiary of Halliburton, ranked first with a total value of $39.5 billion in contracts.

The dragon developed a deep friendship with Ali Daei, because Ali Daei was directly assassinated by the U.S. Department of Defense Intelligence Agency, and Ali Daei hired the dragon to protect him for ten days and saved him several times.

If you had to use one sentence to describe Ali Daei, many people might say that he was a devil, but Canglong would say that this was a devil that he liked.
