The U.S. military soon withdrew to the base, and the local military and police naturally withdrew, and at the same time, Mr. Liang and Yang Gong and others were also released, and the pressure from the media made Colonel Mike helpless, and finally chose to compromise, but when Canglong sent people over to take them all to the branch, he found that only one person was missing.

"Where's Vivien?" Canglong asked.

Mr. Liang and Mr. Yang were both sad and silent for a few seconds, and Mr. Liang said: "Miss Vivian is still being held inside, we have negotiated with the US military, and they say that Miss Vivian is the number one suspect in the kidnapping of the US ambassador and cannot be released!" ”

"Damn it!" Canglong had already thought of this, and asked Vivian to evacuate at that time, because he was afraid that the Americans would find this excuse, and at the beginning of the Rashid Hotel, there was surveillance, and as long as it was compared, it would soon be found out that Vivian was the fake reporter.

"Go and rest first." Canglong was in a bad mood, and if something happened to Vivian, he didn't know how to explain to Li Ruomo.

After Mr. Liang left, Canglong brought the snow leopard over: "Immediately notify the major media reporters in Iraq that the Americans are still one person away from being released!" ”

The snow leopard nodded and quickly left, and after a long time, the TV reporter began to interview Colonel Mike, wanting him to express his opinion on the matter, and sure enough, Colonel Mike had already prepared a reason.

"This unknown woman is not Chinese, and she does not have a passport, as far as we know, she is an Iranian spy lurking in Iraq, not a Chinese employee, and after comparison, we have evidence that she is very similar to the suspect who kidnapped Ambassador Kerry in the first place, so we will conduct further investigation, and the specific circumstances are difficult to disclose." Colonel Mike's answer completely invalidated the media's questioning.

Everyone knows that Americans are ruthless when it comes to national security, even if they are reporters, they can't do anything, and when they look for interviews and reports, they are slapping themselves in the face.

"What now?" Snow Leopard looked worried, "I'm afraid if the Americans use the same method of dealing with spies to deal with Vivien!" ”

"The Americans won't be doing anything to Vivien just yet, because we still have Lieutenant Thomson in our hands." Canglong's expression relaxed, "Under the pressure of the media, CNN will definitely set off an anti-war sentiment in the United States, according to the practice of the Americans, they will definitely not let Thomson go alone, and will even save Thomson at all costs, otherwise it will be a shame for the United States, and the government's ** support will also decline." ”

"That's right." Snow Leopard nodded, "But I'm still worried that the Americans will use any means to torture her, in that case, even if we rescue her, I'm afraid it will be too late!" ”

"Let the Bobcats send Omar a video of torture, and we should warn the Americans appropriately." Canglong's expression was solemn.

Later, Canglong asked Badr to prepare a video of Thomson's interrogation again, of course, in which Thomson was not abused, but demanded that the U.S. government release some of his colleagues captured in Iraq, and if they did not release them, they would quickly behead the American officer.

This video soon appeared on the official website of the terrorist organization, and was reprinted by the world's major media at the same time, so the pressure on the US government was even greater, and there was a large number of threatening demonstrations in the United States, demanding that the government rescue Thomson, if Thomson died, it would be a shame for the United States.

Of course, there is another point that they need to consider, for example, if the United States does not go all out to rescue Lieutenant Thomson, it will also be a morale blow to the American soldiers in Iraq, which is very bad for the United States Middle East policy, because they need someone to kill for them.

The White House responded quickly to the protests and decided to do whatever it took to rescue Lieutenant Thomson, which quelled the protests at home.

At this time, Colonel Mike was looking at the content on the TV, for him, this video means a warning, if he dares to do it to Vivian, then Canglong They will do it to Thomson, in comparison, Major Mike has more scruples, and sacrificing one or two people in China is an honorable thing, it doesn't need to spend too much money to rescue them, just give their families a generous pension, but in the United States, it is completely different, although as a soldier, Colonel Mike feels like this** Constraints are a headache, but he doesn't resent them.

"Damn the Chinese, is this a warning to me?" Colonel Mike was furious, and then called the staff officer and asked, "How's the investigation going?" Where the hell are these Chinese hiding Thomson? ”

"According to yesterday's satellite imagery, the Chinese should have handed over Lieutenant Thomson to the locals, possibly the Shiite Badr brigade, and only they can help the Chinese under our noses." The staff officer said.

"Where are all those damn CIA agents at this time? Do they only hold women in their mother's arms and drink milk in Basra hotels every day? Colonel Mike said angrily.

"The CIA's intelligence officers in charge of Iraq say they've sent all the agents and spies into the Badr Brigades, but nothing has been found." The staff officer explained.

"Nothing? I see that they are all spending their time on women, these damn spies will only make the Propaganda Department let them do it in the movie, but in reality it is useless, and only those stupid people believe that they are useful. Colonel Mike was furious.

"General Petraeus has returned home, and the new commander has not yet arrived, I think it would be better for us not to take major action, in case something happens, we are responsible." The staff officer reminded.

"If we don't take action, will we let the Chinese be arrogant under our noses?" Colonel Mike said angrily, but he still listened to the staff officer's words, after all, he is now a colonel, and he will soon be promoted to general in a few years, and after calming down, he said, "We can't rely on the CIA, we can only use the intelligence network within the army to investigate, tomorrow we will invite the governor of Basra Province and the commanders of several combat battalions under the Basra military police system, and in addition, I will arrest all those damned Shiite radicals, and if I don't say one, I will kill one, if I don't say ten, if I don't say ten, if I don't say a hundred, hum!" ”

"Yes." The staff officer nodded and left.

At the same time, Canglong contacted Amat and asked him to be responsible for investigating where the U.S. military held Vivian, obviously the U.S. military had transferred Vivian from the base, so now Canglong is very distressed, even if it is a U.S. military base, he dares to take someone to break in, but if Vivian is not there, not only will he run empty, but it will also make the U.S. military understand that he cares about Vivian very much, which will put Vivian in a disadvantageous situation.

The next day, Badr sent Thomson to the branch and kept him in the basement, where the snow leopards were in charge, as the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, after the last unsuccessful search by the US military, this place has obviously become the safest place, and the Americans will not be in the same place for a while.

In addition, the U.S. military and military police have been searching everywhere in Zubayr recently, and Su Su, who was searching for intelligence, told Canglong that the entire city of Zubayr is now full of American spies and plainclothes, and Thomson's whereabouts are being searched everywhere.

Despite this, the branch of Longteng International is still the safest, but what Canglong didn't expect was that the Americans soon sent a new supreme commander of the US military in Iraq, and also sent a new ambassador who will coordinate all the affairs of the US military in Iraq, Canglong doesn't care about the ambassador, but he cares about the new commander very much, only with the rank of colonel, but he serves as the commander of a region, and he is also a woman.

When the snow leopard put the photo on Canglong's table, Canglong only said one sentence: "Trouble is coming!" ”

This appointed Supreme Commander is none other than his old friend Natasha, who thought that when he was in the Blackwater Mercenary Legion trial, Natasha fought alongside him, but he didn't expect that after so many years, the two would immediately become enemies.

"What's the trouble? What is there for a woman to worry about? The snow leopard's tone revealed the habitual contempt for women, "It's amazing to let a woman serve as the supreme commander of the U.S. forces in Iraq!" ”

"This is not surprising, there are only more than 10,000 US troops in Iraq, counting intelligence officers and various coordination staff, it is less than 20,000, this time the White House must have made adjustments, in terms of politics, Natasha can't interfere, she only cares about military and intelligence, but if you think this woman is easy to deal with, then you are wrong!" Canglong said with a smile, "The last time I went to the United States, I almost died at her hands!" ”

"So serious!" Snow Leopard looked surprised, "But it seems that she is not your opponent yet, otherwise you wouldn't be alive here!" ”

"It's not that she's not my opponent, it's because she's constrained too much, but Iraq is different, she knows Iraq, I also know Iraq, the two of us are half a pound and eight taels, although in terms of personal ability, I definitely have an advantage, but when it comes to overall planning, refinement and distinction, I am comparable to compare." Canglong said, looking at the snow leopard seriously, "She is a woman as smart as Ruomo!" ”

Hearing this, the snow leopard swallowed his saliva, thinking of Ruomo, he couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, a woman as smart as Ruomo is really difficult to deal with.

"Well, she's still a few weeks away anyway, and we'll have plenty of time to get Vivien out in those weeks." Canglong said calmly, "As soon as Amat's information arrives, we will do it." ”

"Do you really believe that unscrupulous intelligence peddler?" Snow Leopard asked.

"Maybe he will always disappoint you in the little things, but not at the critical moment!" Canglong is full of confidence.

And at this moment, a grim face hurriedly walked in and said, "Ambassador, the ambassador is here!" ”

"What is he doing here?" The snow leopard looked strange.

"It's not that we've been making trouble recently, so I guess it's here to warn me." Canglong smiled but didn't care, and said to Yan Yan, "You take someone to pick him up, and Snow Leopard, you arrange the venue." ”
