The current situation is that the government forces are completely on the defensive, shrinking on all fronts, holding on to the Takikati and the royal palace and the airport, which is a desert city with large spacing between houses and buildings, plus this is a civil war between Arabs, there will be no desperate resistance, and tragic street fighting can be avoided.

Liu Handong commanded Ruoding, sent two battalions to the airport to make a feint posture, and the other two battalions ambushed on the road from the palace to the airport, this trick was tried and tested repeatedly in the War of Liberation.

The airport is an important passage connecting Colin with the outside world, and when the airport falls, the royal family will lose even the opportunity to escape.

The army set off in a mighty manner, pickup trucks kicked up billowing smoke and dust in the desert, and the mercenaries wore goggles and surrounded Arab tea towels, majestic and murderous.

Liu Handong sat in a Humvee, looking at his army, full of pride in his chest, like a warlord, and when Takikati was defeated, he could taste what it was like to master a country.

Barnes sat in the same car as him, and the CIA agents were also full of ambition and confidence, and the two talked from time to time and laughed heartily.

In the evening, the battle to attack the airfield began, playing a feint, the guerrillas were the best at it, just shoot artillery from a long distance, the international airport has long been closed, all flights are grounded, the air force fighters are afraid of the guerrillas' anti-aircraft missiles, and they do not dare to take off at all, because the take-off and landing stage of the aircraft is the most vulnerable to blows, and in the Afghan battlefield that year, a considerable proportion of the Soviet planes were knocked out by the guerrillas who were ambushed nearby when they landed or took off.

The airfield was critical, the army defending the palace rushed to help, and a mechanized infantry battalion fell into an encirclement, and after a round of bazookas and large-caliber machine guns, it surrendered with a white flag.

The army was not absolutely loyal to Saeed, giving up resistance as soon as the guns rang out, and the rebels did not torture prisoners like ISIS, but hugged and kissed the surrendered government forces, welcoming them into the ranks of the Mujahideen loyal to Allah.

With the support of the army's armored vehicles, the rebels were demoralized and rushed into the airport with great might, and after sporadic fighting, the green scimitar flag of the rebels was raised over the airport building in the early morning of the next day.

At this time, Liu Handong could already see the white spire of the Takikati Grand Mosque with a telescope, he was full of ambition, with thousands of elite soldiers, feeling like Guderian in early December 1941, Moscow was in front of him, but he could not repeat the mistakes of the Germans, and he had to take the city in one go.

There is good order in the city of Takikati, and in the past year, coups have come and gone, and the common people have become accustomed to it, and the city has changed the banner of the king, and no matter how it is changed, it is the people of the Saleh family, and it has little to do with them.

The migrant workers were thrilled because after the rebels won, they would be granted second-generation citizenship, which was something they had always dreamed of.

A regime change in Takikati seemed imminent, and some Western journalists had their pages and articles ready to wait for the rebels to enter the city.

The Zhongyanhuang construction site is in a state of complete shutdown, the situation in Colin has deteriorated further, the leaders are worried, behind the rebels are the Americans, and they will definitely tear up the contract after taking power, and the efforts of the past two years have all been in vain, which is still light, and the most unacceptable thing is the pause of the national energy security strategy.

Tang Jianjun, general manager of the power plant construction headquarters, complained that his rank was not low and he had access to some insiders, and according to him, if the state had been able to support Said, it would not have caused the situation it is today, not to mention the heavy losses of the country, and the lives and safety of workers would also be threatened.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is already organizing the evacuation of nationals, and the warships escorting the ships off Somali waters are coming again, of course, only to protect the workers, and will in no way interfere in the internal affairs of Kolin.

The palace was still heavily defended, and the elite paratroopers and marines were not dispatched, and Said sat firmly in the military tent, calmly, and put on a posture of living and dying with the soldiers, which boosted morale.

In a room on the second floor of the palace, Mr. Thorpe blew on the ink on the secret agreement and picked up the satellite phone.

……

Outside the city of Takikati, hundreds of military vehicles of the rebel army were ready to go, and Liu Handong was about to give the order to attack, when suddenly Barnes came over with a satellite phone and said: "Wait a minute, the king has proposed to negotiate, let us give him a day." ”

Liu Handong looked at his watch: "Give him an hour." ”

Barnes shrugged: "So harsh? ”

Liu Handong said: "Changing rapidly, we can't afford to wait. ”

"Okay, an hour." Barnes replied.

Skyrim, a Global Hawk drone flies by.

An hour later, Barnes was still talking on the phone, Liu Handong was impatient, he gave time for negotiation because he didn't want to shed any more blood, attacking the city is different from fighting in the desert, the casualties are bound to be huge, why do you have to die if you can solve it peacefully, you are just asking for money, you can't commit so many killings.

Suddenly, Barnes stopped and looked at the sky suspiciously, Liu Handong followed his gaze and saw a FA18 carrier-based fighter coming out of the clouds and roaring.

There is no doubt that the US Fifth Fleet intervened, a fighter jet aboard the USS Washington.

Immediately after the appearance of several fighters, this fighter nicknamed the Super Hornet has a powerful ground attack capability, far from being comparable to the Colin Air Force's Mountain Eagle attack aircraft, and the US Navy pilot's Su zhì did not say that the old-fashioned Red Tassel 5 does not want to cause any trouble for the Super Hornet.

The armament of the rebels was still in the sixties of the last century, and it was completely unable to compete with the strongest armed forces in the contemporary world, and it suddenly collapsed, Liu Handong saw the fireballs rising in front of him, and his eardrums were so shocked that he couldn't hear the sound.

Liu Handong didn't remember how he escaped, his memory was full of purgatory-like colors, the charred corpses in the wreckage of the military vehicle, the skyrocketing fire, the charred ground, and the team of thousands of people, all of whom were slaughtered within five minutes, and there was no way to fight back.

The Super Hornets finished firing their ammunition and flew away, followed by the government reserves, and the rebels were gone, and they didn't even fight, and fled directly from the wind.

The government forces were in hot pursuit, and Syed gave a death order that the grass must be cut down and eradicated.

A pursuit battle was launched in the desert, Liu Handong personally drove wildly, Barnes sat in the car and made a phone call, he was completely confused, why would the US military support Said, it was clear that he was the spokesman for American interests, but he couldn't call all the numbers.

"Look!" Liu Handong pointed ahead, frightened.

The desert storm came, pushing it over like a curtain wall, reaching a height of 100 meters, overwhelming the sky and swallowing a qiē.

After the sandstorm, King Said, dressed in military uniform, personally inspected the battlefield, outside the city was scorched, dozens of military vehicles wreckage was burned in the same place, corpses were all over the field, covered with a layer of sand, this scene reminded him of the 1990s, Kuwait's road to Iraq's death, tens of thousands of armored troops on the way to evacuate, bombed by the coalition air force, vehicles and corpses stretched for dozens of kilometers.

It was a civil war, and a large part of the corpses were Corinians, and Said, with a grim expression and a silent voice, looked around before he said, "This was supposed to be a war that could have been avoided." ”

The rebels were wiped out, and the situation in Colin turned dramatically again, with news breaking that Said would sign a contract with Norman Oil, a small American company, to sell Colin's most abundant oil field.

Norman Oil's stock price skyrocketed, multiplying several times overnight, and it is still rising at rocket speed, the stock market is forward-looking, Norman Oil's prospects are promising, and financial analysts analyze that ExxonMobil will buy this small company at a sky-high price.

In Beijing, in a villa, Yao Guang and Feng Yong celebrated each other, they bought a large number of shares of Norman Oil at an extremely low price, and now they have made more than a hundred times, and this ticket is extremely beautiful, basically no cost.

"Open the wine, open my bottle of 98-year-old red wine." Yao Guangxi was overjoyed and patted Feng Yong's shoulder, "Fatty, you can do it, it's so brittle to earn Yankee's money." ”

Feng Yong smiled reservedly: "Who am I, stock market sniper, Wall Street trembling under my crotch." ”

Yao Guang scolded with a smile: "You said that you are fat and you are still panting, if it weren't for my strong assistance, would you be so smooth?" ”

Feng Yong said: "It's not okay for me to entertain, Ming'er will go to Macau to play, if you win, yours, if you lose, it's mine." ”

……

In southern Iraq, Liu Handong and Barnes, who survived the catastrophe, hid here, the troops were scattered, almost all the troops were wiped out, the benevolent Sayyid announced an amnesty, many people surrendered, leaving only mercenaries and some extremist religious figures, the mercenaries did not leave because they had not received the money, and the religious people were at odds with him because they hated Said.

A group of fierce mercenaries outside were screaming for money, but Liu Handong had been squeezed dry, and all his money was invested in arms advances, but the CIA's funds were afraid that they would never be in place.

Barnes was extremely corrupt, as a veteran agent, he understood that he had been betrayed, just like in the "Wild Goose Drones" movie, the capitalists and the rulers made a dirty deal, and the soldiers became outcasts, which is understandable, but what made him desperate was that the CIA even cheated its own people, and without prior notice, if it wasn't for the fate, he might have been blown up outside the city of Takikati.

He learned something about it through his old connections, and Langley listed himself as an out-of-control person, that is, he was unorganized, he couldn't go to the safe house, he couldn't use all kinds of resources, and he didn't have support and trust, and he was no longer a member of the CIA.

"We're really going to have to do something for ourselves now." Barnes said worriedly to Liu Handong. u
