Chapter 107, Old Friend
Petraeus rushed to Bainisad by accident or on purpose, and although he had opened a net in Bainisadera, there was no need to sit here himself, after all, it was not very safe compared to the Green Zone.
However, after receiving Kerry's special plane and sending him to the Green Zone, Petraeus immediately received a message that Bainisad was moving, but it was not the movement he planned, Petraeus received the news about terrorist organizations, it is said that Sunni Baath death squads, and some Islamic extremist groups are attacking Bainisad, Petraeus's first reaction at that time was surprise.
But then after being reminded by the chief of staff, he felt that this was a prelude to an imminent attack by the Chinese.
I have to say that the Chinese have found a good pawn, but Petraeus believes that the big net he has laid here, in many terrorist organizations can not cause much harm here, he needs to make the Chinese anxious, in order to attract the attention of the Chinese, he even took the risk to rush over in person.
With such a big man as him, the Chinese will definitely take risks, but he waits until the next day, except for some human bombs from terrorist organizations, there is nothing more attractive to him, just like the usual city, there are always some attacks.
At that time, he was thinking, are the Chinese really not ready to attack here? Or they have already taken Amat back to China, but he quickly vetoed the idea, Amat attaches great importance to his family, and has already fought with them Americans, so even if the Chinese forcibly bring Amat back to China, there will be no deal in the future.
But even he couldn't understand the current situation, but when the chief of staff anxiously brought a piece of information and handed it to him, he understood: "The ambassador has disappeared in the Green Zone!" ”
"Missing?" At that time, Petraeus thought that the chief of staff was joking, but seeing the solemnity on his face, Petraeus had to believe it even if he didn't believe it, and then he looked at the intelligence.
Kerry stayed in the room all night chatting with the female reporter, and according to the bodyguard in charge of his security, he also heard his ** voice, but the next day Kerry did not come out, and the female reporter did not come out, only to realize that something was wrong, and when they walked into the room, they found that there was no one in it at all.
The deputy commander immediately ordered the Green Zone to be on guard, only to enter and not to go out, but no trace of Kerry was found, and he and the female reporter disappeared.
Soon, however, security forces in Baghdad found Michelle, a female journalist, in a residential home, only to find her tied up and terrified when they found her.
After carefully comparing the video in the surveillance, they found that this female reporter was indeed different from the woman in red yesterday, although it looked very similar, but in many ways it was completely different, so the whole Baghdad began martial law, but after several hours of searching, there has been no whereabouts.
Until the deputy commander received a letter, the content of the letter was very simple, Kerry was in their hands, and if they wanted Kerry, they would exchange it for Amat's family.
Seeing this, Petraeus finally understood that he was stupid, and he stupidly guarded most of the elites here, but the Chinese did not fall into his trap, and under his nose, they played a trick of changing people.
"Damn, let me catch this Chinese, I have to peel his skin!" Petraeus was very angry, but he didn't have a rut, "Have the Chinese contacted us?" Where is the transaction located? ”
"Not yet, but you shouldn't stay here, it's not safe here." The chief of staff suggested that apparently Kerry's disappearance had finally made them dare not despise the Chinese.
Petraeus followed the advice of the chief of staff, handed over all the defense here to the head of Blackwater in Iraq, and quickly rushed to the green zone, if the Chinese caught Kerry, then now should discuss how to trade, as for Kerry's safety, Petraeus is not worried, after all, he is the new ambassador to the United States, the Chinese will not do such an irrational thing.
But if Kerry doesn't attend the meetings in a row, it will attract media attention, and although they have already released Kerry's inaugural speech in Iraq, it may be a few days before he officially delivers his inaugural speech, but they all know that it will not last long.
In his office in the Green Zone, Petraeus had a bad face, hesitating to report the matter to the Defense Intelligence Agency, and in the end he decided not to report it because it did nothing to gain but to make the higher authorities feel that he was incompetent.
Petraeus ordered all intelligence officers to attack, and asked Blackwater's mercenaries to cooperate with Iraqi security forces to clear the guerrillas and rebel strongholds, after all, the faces of the Chinese are very recognizable in the Middle East, and Petraeus still has some luck.
However, in the eyes of the outside world, such actions seem to be the three fires of the new officials after Kerry took office, and the first fire is to deter the resistance forces in Iraq.
But Petraeus's fire didn't do much, but he was able to find out how the Chinese kidnapped Kerry from under his nose.
The Rashid Hotel has a tunnel leading to the outside of Baghdad, which is well under Baghdad in all directions, and there were many of them before, most of which were built before the US army invaded Baghdad, and Saddam Hussein was ready to use these tunnels to bury the US troops completely.
But this is not the World War II period, although the US military has encountered a lot of obstacles, but most of the tunnels have been buried, this secret passage in the Rashid Hotel has long been buried, but recently it has been used by the Iraqi Ministry of Internal Affairs, as for what to do, Petraeus knows very well, but he has not known that he is using the secret passage to do this kind of transaction.
But now is not the time to pursue responsibility, and when all parties attacked and did not find the whereabouts of the Chinese, Petraeus finally gave up on his own actions and reported the matter.
At this time in the Department of Defense building in Washington, Natasha's face suddenly became gloomy when she received Petraeus's report, and finally he only gave Petraeus an order: "No matter what method you use, he must die, otherwise you will wait to retire!" ”
After receiving such an order, Petraeus's face changed at that time, he was only forty years old, he was already a major general, if he did something to achieve, the general was possible, and before that he did not know that his political future was closely related to this task.
So, he called all the leaders over and held a meeting, and finally unanimously decided to deal with the Chinese, after the deal is not too late to solve these Chinese, after all, Iraq is still in their hands, but now the initiative is completely in their hands, but they still disperse the intelligence personnel, and at the same time Bainisad also began to disarm.
But on the night when most of the defenders had withdrawn, Petraeus finally waited for news from the Chinese, and to his surprise, the place where the Chinese demanded the trade was the place he least expected, Bainisad.
At that time, Petraeus almost lifted the table, most of Bainesad's troops had been withdrawn, and before that he had ordered all his forces to be scattered in various cities near Baghdad, in case the Chinese made a deal in case the mobilization of troops might not go smoothly.
Only he did not expect that the Chinese would ask for a trade directly in the same place, and that after an hour of the transaction, if they did not bring Amat's family to Bainisad after an hour, then they would hand over Kerry to the members of the jihadist group.
Petraeus didn't dare to think about what the jihadist would do to Kerry if it caught him, but what he knew was that the jihadist group caught Kerry would be tantamount to a slap in the face of the whole world by the jihadist organization, and his political career might be over at that time.
An hour later, Petraeus sent Amat's family to Bainisad, and he took the Green Zone and began to mobilize his troops to get the rest of the troops to Bainisad as soon as possible.
The burden of the deal fell on Leto, the head of Blackwater in Iraq, a former U.S. Navy SEAL who helped the U.S. military obtain important intelligence during the 10 years of the U.S. military occupation of Iraq, and Blackwater's employees were directly involved in many operations that the military could not directly conduct.
With the head of the Hellfire mercenary regiment, Alexander, and hailed as the Iraqi twin stars.
It is the two mercenaries most favored by the US military among the many mercenary groups in Iraq, Hellfire is known as elite, and the members of the US headquarters are less than 100 people, but it is the first mercenary group that deserves its name, because it rarely fails in its mission.
Although Alexander did not arrive at Bainisad, his most elite Hellfires in Iraq had arrived, and they were all under his command, and Leto was eager to see what the Chinese who had turned them around were like.
Sitting in the café, Leto was confident in his defenses, because of the withdrawal of the large army, so now he could only use more than a thousand people.
And ninety percent of these more than 1,000 people are Iraqi security forces, so he tried his best to concentrate his most trusted 100 people on this street, as long as those Chinese dare to come in, once they rescue Kerry, those security forces will appear, and when the Chinese evacuate, they will be attacked from both sides.
Of course, Leto also believes that he can solve the Chinese on this street without the help of the security forces, and rescue Ambassador Kerry intact.
Soon, there was news from the security forces, two off-road vehicles appeared on the road speeding towards this side, Leto did not let the security forces block, but let them in, at that time he had an idea in his heart, these Chinese are too bold, actually dare to swagger in, it seems that it is not so difficult to deal with.
But when Canglong walked into this café with the members of Team B, Leto looked at Canglong, and his face changed: "It's you, lone wolf!" ”
"Long time no see, Colonel Leto!" Canglong calmly sat down across from him, while the members of Team B quickly stood in a vantage point.
"It turns out that this is all your doing, and it seems that you are the important target mentioned above." Leto smiled helplessly.
He had a feeling of being overwhelmed in the face of Canglong, although he had already arranged everything, but thinking of the time when Canglong had served in his Blackwater Company before, Leto felt furious in his heart.
When Canglong left the black water, Leto felt that he couldn't meet a warrior with more brains and strength than Canglong, but he didn't expect that after such a long time, when Leto saw Canglong again, he actually found that he had gone to his opposite
