Since Ambassador Kerry's death in Iraq, Petraeus has been in an extremely difficult situation, and through his connections, he got the news that the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency has launched a key operation against China, which was supposed to be flawless, and it is said that even Medusa, the CIA's biggest spy in China, has gone out, but in the end, the operation failed because of one person.

If this operation has nothing to do with Petraeus, then forget it, but the person who caused the failure of the operation is the mastermind who kidnapped Ambassador Kerry, and he should have been killed in Iraq.

The failure of the operation led to the removal of the person in charge of the operation, and even Petraeus was almost dismissed, and if it were not for the mediation of Republican lawmakers, I am afraid that Petraeus would have to return to Washington to obtain his retirement certificate now.

However, the death of Ambassador Kerry is not worthless, indirectly forcing the new president's Iraq withdrawal plan to run aground, in the Republican Party and the people. Under the struggle of the main party, the 10,000 US troops who had stayed at the US military base in Kuwait and had not yet been evacuated went directly to Iraq, and were arranged at several key points, of course, nominally to assist the new Iraqi government in counterinsurgency and counter-terrorism.

In fact, it is to prevent the Chinese from developing Iraqi oil, and Petraeus has received the highest order to make it difficult for Chinese oil companies to move an inch in Iraq at all costs.

For Petraeus, this is really nothing, and no country in the world is more capable of playing rogue than the United States, so until now, Chinese oil companies have won bids for the contracting rights of several large oil fields in southern Iraq, but have not refined a single barrel of oil.

According to Petraeus's vision, as long as they drag on with the Chinese, sooner or later they will withdraw from Iraq, and in the end this is still the energy base of the United States.

With the soaring international oil prices, China will become very passive in Iraq, to use a Chinese proverb, a bit like occupying a pit and not, the world's oil prices will soar because Iraq cannot produce oil, and China will sooner or later become the target of public criticism.

For more than a year, Petraeus has mastered almost all the weaknesses of Iraq's top officials, and the current government is only a puppet except for a few nominal announcements under his orders.

And another news, made Petraeus almost excited, the person in charge of China's oil company, actually got cancer because of overwork, Petraeus felt that his plan was almost to achieve its goal, without that strong woman, China's ability to fight will sooner or later tear this newly stable oil giant apart.

However, what Petraeus didn't expect was that there was a person in charge of an oil company who was overwhelming the public opinion in Longteng International, and the day after the news reached him, all the information of this person was placed on his desk, the chairman of Orient International, a name that is now world-famous.

But what makes Petraeus angry is that this person secretly has another identity, a killer, a mercenary, the murderer who killed Kerry and almost fired him from his job to write his memoirs.

He was worried that he couldn't deal with this guy, but found that the Iraqi government had received a note that this killer, who had become the new president of Dragon International, would go to Iraq to deal with the affairs of Dragon International.

Petraeus laughed at the time, he couldn't help this guy in China, but what about Iraq?

When Canglong came to Iraq and stayed in the Rashid Hotel, Petraeus did not have a normal reason to deal with him, and he was in a hurry to get angry, when he suddenly received news from the intelligence department, saying that among the people brought by Canglong, there was a blonde woman, who was confirmed to be the woman who was in the ** Kerry in the Rashid Hotel last time.

So Petraeus found a way, laid a net, and prepared to arrest the woman in the Rashid Hotel, according to the intelligence sources, Petraeus was sure that they would never leave, because tonight's dinner will be attended by high-ranking officials of the new Iraqi government.

The habit of the Chinese, as long as it is a legal identity, is not afraid of everything, and the provider of intelligence is a Chinese . Person.

In the Rashid Hotel, after the banquet began, the high-ranking Iraqi officials arrived one after another, but they did not expect that the supreme commander of the US army, Petraeus, would come here, and after being surprised for a while, they all greeted him, but no one expected that the host of this banquet had not come down yet.

Except for Ambassador Zhou Zheng and the director and deputy director of Longteng International, there are no other Chinese.

"Mr. Ambassador." Petraeus walked up to Zhou Zheng and said with a smile, "I don't know why you, the new president of Longteng International, haven't come down yet?" ”

After Zhou Zheng shook hands with him, he prevaricated: "Maybe something happened temporarily, the young man is strong." ”

Petraeus understood what Zhou Zheng meant, thinking that Canglong was engaging in women in the hotel, so he delayed the business, but he didn't care, such an important banquet, Canglong could not not participate, according to the Chinese etiquette face, if you do not participate, it is equivalent to slapping everyone's face, and then it will be even more difficult for Chinese oil companies to move in Iraq.

However, to be on the safe side, Petraeus sent someone to investigate.

"Why hasn't he come down yet?" Walking to the side, Zhou Zheng pulled Ye Lun and asked, "What kind of system does it be, do you want everyone to wait for him alone?" ”

"Aren't all young people so self-centered?" Yellen didn't care, "He hasn't let our people go up since he got into the room, who knows what tricks he's playing, but if he angers the high-ranking officials in Iraq and leaves a mess, we will have to clean it up." ”

"It seems that you are right, he has to leave Iraq, and if he stays here, all strategic relations will be lost." Zhou Zheng said solemnly.

"Why don't you report the situation here to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" Ye Lun said, "Only if there is pressure from above, he will check some things, even if he is asked to leave, he can't let him get into a big disaster." ”

"I'll definitely react after the banquet, but you have to be prepared." Zhou Zheng looked worried, according to this posture, Canglong would definitely cause a big disaster, although he was Lin Wanrou's son, and he didn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, but this was a matter related to the interests of the country.

But before they had time to prepare, something big happened, I saw Petraeus and a man in a suit say a few words, his face immediately changed, and in less than ten seconds, a large number of American troops suddenly appeared outside, all armed to the teeth, and at the same time many black-clothed agents at the banquet also dispatched and began to investigate the entire hotel.

Zhou Zheng calmed down and asked Petraeus: "What's going on?" Lord Petraeus, I would like you to give me an explanation! ”

"I received information that the hotel was harboring terrorists who had kidnapped Ambassador Kerry." Petraeus looked at Zhou Zheng seriously, "This matter is likely to involve the new president of Longteng International, but I didn't expect that you set up this banquet, but he himself has already run away, in the words of you Chinese, is this called the golden cicada out of its shell?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked surprised, glanced at Ye Lun, it was obvious that he provided intelligence to the Americans in order to scare Canglong, but no one expected Canglong to run away.

"How is this possible? As the president of Longteng International, he doesn't know the etiquette, and he won't slip away. Even Yellen didn't believe it.

"You're a very good diplomat." Petraeus thought he had been tricked, and went upstairs with an angry face, and the faces of the ambassadors and Iraqi dignitaries present also sank, and invited them to this banquet just to communicate with each other, but he didn't expect the hero to run away, isn't this a slap in the face?

"They've run away, and we've found another secret passage!" The commander in charge of the capture reported to Petraeus.

"Damn, how many secret passages are in this hotel that we don't know? Are you all-eaters? Petraeus yelled.

Then the intelligence personnel were all aggrieved, Baghdad's underground secret passages are intertwined, to blame can only be blamed on Saddam's good intentions, almost the entire Baghdad underground dug through, maybe even Saddam Hussein himself, who dug through the secret passages, did not know how many of these intertwined secret passages there were, plus after the US military occupied Baghdad, although a lot of secret passages were buried, but the rebels have been digging, and later there were fewer attacks, and the mood of the US military burying secret passages was also light.

After repeated confirmations, Canglong had left Baghdad through an underground secret passage in Iraq, and the only clue found was a letter left by Canglong to Ambassador Zhou and Yellen, explaining the reason for his departure and whereabouts.

Petraeus finally gave up the pursuit, because he didn't believe the contents of the letter at all, and where did he go to find Canglong in the great Iraq?

But he was convinced that China had played him, as if all this was premeditated by the Chinese, but Petraeus warned Zhou Zheng when he left: "Since you guys are playing golden cicadas with me, then let's see!" ”

The protagonist is gone, and the ambassadors of various countries will naturally not stay, and they leave after a few words of greeting, but Zhou Zheng can feel the unhappiness on the faces of the ambassadors, especially several Iraqi ministers, who feel that the president of Longteng International does not take them seriously at all.

Zhou Zheng explained for a long time before he stabilized their emotions, but he knew that Canglong had really made a big mistake this time and offended all Iraqi relations.

"How did you leak the news to the Americans?" In the embassy, Zhou Zhengtie asked with a blushing face.

Yellen's tone was heavy: "I just want to cut off his wings, so that he will not have the confidence to be arrogant, won't he leave Iraq earlier?" I didn't expect him to poke a big basket for us. ”

"No matter what, you can't leak the news to the Americans!" Zhou Zheng said solemnly, "Do you know what kind of behavior this is? I don't care what you do in the future, but if there is a next time for such a thing, don't blame me for not giving you this old classmate affection! ”

Ye Lun nodded, he knew that Zhou Zheng was a guy who didn't eat hard and soft, although their relationship was very close, but if it really involved national affairs, Zhou Zheng would definitely stick to his principles.

"What now?" Yellen asked.

"Find him out, I will immediately inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of this matter, and it is best to let the State Department get him back." Zhou Zhengtie's face was blue, "This guy who has no interest actually ran away!! ”
