What Liu Handong saw was indeed a camp where the Nasiriyah Construction Company was building a power plant along the Eurates River, where 100 workers, half of them migrant workers, and 15 of them from China.

Zhu Xiaoqiang is tossing and turning at the moment, he has been in Iraq for so long, he has not received a penny of salary, and he has to work hard under the scorching sun every day, he can't help but miss the life of being a tally clerk in Omijiang, suddenly there is a noise and noise, and the sound of dogs barking, the wolf dogs raised on the construction site bark like crazy, the flashlight at the big iron gate is shining, and the construction site guards are negotiating with someone.

Could it be that the motherland sent someone to rescue us? Zhu Xiaoqiang quickly put on his clothes and went out to inspect, many laborers also came out to see the excitement, and the dormitory was full of people.

"Bang!" The gunshots rang out, and everyone crouched down in fright, and after a while it was all right, the site security guards were subdued, disarmed and surrendered and lay on the ground, and the intruders tried to move the vehicles, looking at their outfits as military contractors, that is, legendary mercenaries, but the faces were supposed to be East Asian.

In the past, Zhu Xiaoqiang categorically did not dare to talk, but people always burst out of potential at critical moments, he was eager to get out of the sea of suffering, return to the motherland, see these seemingly compatriots mercenaries about to leave, regardless of shouting: "Help, we are Chinese." ”

The car had already driven out of the gate, there was no sign of stopping, Zhu Xiaoqiang's heart was cold, it seemed that this group of people was not compatriots, it was likely to be Koreans, Japanese and the like, just as he was disappointed and returned to the dormitory, the car actually braked sharply and stopped.

One person jumped out of the car and shouted: "Who are the Chinese, what's going on?" ”

"Help, we've been tricked." Zhu Xiaoqiang hurriedly ran up, and other Chinese laborers also grabbed a life-saving straw, and quickly surrounded him, talking about his miserable experience.

The Chinese dressed as mercenaries did not seem interested in their origins, but decided to draw their swords to help, saying: "Two ways, either you go north to Baghdad with us, or go south to Saudi Arabia yourself, and choose for yourself." ”

Zhu Xiaoqiang was the most knowledgeable among the laborers, and he made a decision in an instant: "Let's go with you and go to Baghdad to find the Chinese embassy." ”

"Okay, give you five minutes to pack your bags, get in that car, and follow us." The man gestured to the Tata bus in the courtyard.

Zhu Xiaoqiang and the others hurriedly packed up their personal belongings, filled the container they could find with water, got on the bus, and each found a place to sit down, but the driver's seat was empty.

"Who can drive?" The mercenary asked impatiently, his companion already urging him.

"Me!" Zhu Xiaoqiang raised his hand, he graduated from the Traffic Vocational and Technical College, the school originally gave them a driver's license at a preferential price of 2,500 per student in order to generate income, although he had never touched the car, but Zhu Xiaoqiang did have a driver's license, and it was a B license.

The Indian-made Tata bus trembled slightly on the road under the driving of Zhu Xiaoqiang, but fortunately there were no vehicles and pedestrians on the desert road, and he stepped on the accelerator so as not to be thrown off by the Hummer off-road vehicle in front, which was a car used by the construction site guards, and the second-hand war materials eliminated by the Americans.

It was Liu Handong and others who sat in the Humvee, they borrowed the Humvee from the construction site by brutal means, and there were some disagreements on whether to rescue their compatriots, Huo Lei and Xiao Cui both said that more is better than less, but Qin Xianyang insisted on taking his compatriots with him, Liu Handong was neutral, but he compromised under Qin Xianyang's gaze.

The road ahead is long, life and death are uncertain, Iraq is a war-torn country, after the withdrawal of US troops in Iraq, it is even more chaotic, there are local armed forces everywhere, IsIs in the north is getting stronger and stronger, Baghdad was on the verge of frequent misses, if it were not for the multinational force stationing, I am afraid that Iraq would have become a country ruled by Harry at this time.

Except for the driver, everyone else dozed off, and countless unpredictable hardships and dangers awaited them, and it was impossible not to maintain their spirits.

……

Colin, Takikati Kempinski Hotel, the domestic instructions finally came, Song Jianfeng ordered, wait and see what happens, evacuate Colin as much as possible, and ensure the safety of the company's personnel and property, regarding Liu Handong's trip to Iraq to contact the army loyal to the crown prince, Song Jianfeng took a tacit attitude.

However, the police closed the door, and they couldn't leave if they wanted to, and the whole delegation was panicked, and when they woke up, Li Song, who was in charge of duty, called and said that all the police at the hotel gate had been withdrawn.

Zhang Bangxian immediately decided: "Hurry up and go back to Saudi Arabia." ”

Everyone rushed into the elevator with their luggage, went down to the lobby, Tian Fei went to check out, and the rest of the people waited to drive, and suddenly a team of cars with royal logos drove to the door of the hotel, and a group of Arabs came down and came straight to Zhang Bangxian.

It was the new Minister of Petroleum of Colin, who came to meet Zhang Bangxian in person and invited him to the ministry to discuss cooperation matters.

Zhang Bangxian was overjoyed, there is a door!

The delegation was not withdrawn for the time being, and Zhang Bangxian was picked up by the minister, and only returned jubilantly after noon, saying that the Colin government recognized the letter of intent for strategic cooperation signed by Crown Prince Said, and would deepen cooperation with China on this basis.

"The emir will give us a feast in two days." Zhang Bangxian said.

The hotel's network and international long-distance are unimpeded, Zhang Bangxian made a report to China, and Song Jianfeng instructed to act at the opportunity and keep a clear head.

In the afternoon, someone from the embassy came and brought the latest instructions from the confidential channel, and only read them out to Zhang Bangxian and Zheng Jiayi.

After listening to the instructions, the two Zhongyan Huang high-level people looked at each other.

"Who does that mean?" Zheng Jiayi asked.

"It was decided by the organization and officially issued." The ambassador's expression was stern, "Let's do it." ”

"I'm against it." Zheng Jiayi said, "This is a stupid decision. ”

"You can keep the opinion, but now it must be enforced." The ambassador shook his head with a wry smile, "This is the political zhì." ”

……

In the heart of Iraq, two cars were in the dust, and 200 kilometers to Baghdad was reached, and a checkpoint suddenly appeared in front of it, where the government army set up a checkpoint, at least a platoon of troops.

"What should I do?" The driving fire thunder asked.

"Drive over." Mr. Liu said he had already figured out a countermeasure.

Humvees and buses drove into the checkpoint, military warnings stopped, and the group, now armed with firearms, became nervous and armed men surrounded them from all sides.

Liu Handong was undaunted, but refused to disarm, saying in fluent Arabic that he was a staff member of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, had rescued some Chinese in Nasiriyah, and was now rushing to the Chinese embassy in Baghdad.

The military police checked his passport, and sure enough, it was Chinese, and the car behind was also full of Chinese, but they did not have legal procedures for weapons, and according to the law, they could not carry guns.

Liu Handong made another killer move, a stack of dollars was stuffed into the officer's pocket like a trick, and the officer looked at these Chinese faces, waved his hand and let him go.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't figure out whether it was the dollar that played a role, or the faces of the Chinese.

Liu Handong's satellite phone rang, and it was Zheng Jiayi calling: "The mission is canceled, you can withdraw it." ”

"What are you kidding, the arrow is on the bow, how to recycle!" Liu Handong was furious, "You guys sitting in the office think that one is one out of the other, I am now in the hinterland of Iraq, and I also brought a group of Chinese laborers, why do you go back, you send a plane to pick me up?" ”

Zheng Jiayi over there was also full of complaints, this was not her decision, but she understood Liu Handong's anger and comforted: "I understand your exit, it's not that you can come back if you want to come back, you go to Baghdad now, and coordinate with the local diplomatic agency, they will help you come back." ”

"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected." Liu Handong hung up the phone.

Zheng Jiayi became worried, the domestic instructions are not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, respect the choice of the people of Colin, this is to recognize the legitimacy of the coup d'état of the eldest prince, the previous efforts have all been wasted, Liu Handong is a fierce character, he will definitely disobey the order, and if he insists on proceeding according to the original plan, the consequences will be unimaginable.

She walked to the window, overlooking the blue sea, and under the quiet and serene sea, there seemed to be hidden stormy waves.

Suddenly, there was a burst of slogans, she hurriedly turned to the other window, and saw that the street was crowded with people, and a large number of people were demonstrating on the street to protest against the coup d'état of the eldest prince.

It seems that Crown Prince Said still has a lot of public support, Zheng Jiayi thought secretly.

Rumors spread overnight that the Grand Prince was going to impose heavy taxes on them, strictly check visas, and exploit and oppress new immigrants in the name of expulsion of illegal immigrants, so they resolutely took to the streets to fight for their rights.

……

After a day's trek, the two cars finally arrived in Baghdad, and Qin Xianyang gave Zhu Xiaoqiang the phone number of the embassy and asked them to contact him himself.

"Take care, we still have a mission." Qin Xianyang shook hands with Zhu Xiaoqiang and left in a hurry, Zhu Xiaoqiang's myopia lenses were covered with a layer of dust, and he couldn't see clearly, but he felt that there was a person in the Hummer who looked like Liu Handong.

The multinational force is stationed in the northwest of Iraq, according to which there are still two or three hundred kilometers, this area is already very peaceful, extremist armed groups are infested, not to mention small groups of armed personnel, even the US patrols in those years were often ambushed, heavy losses.

In order to ensure safety, Liu Handong stole another car, a Chinese-made JMC pickup, he and Qin Xianyang took Amir to sit in the pickup, and Xiao Cui and Huo Lei took a Hummer to take cover.

Liu Handong tried several times to get Amir to call Major Mohammed and ask him to send troops to pick him up, but there was no mobile network at the front line, and they could not access the military radio frequency bands they used, so they had to take the most direct method and visit him.

The two vehicles were driving one after the other on the roads in northern Iraq, and the villages and towns along the way were dilapidated, and the wreckage of Humvees was often found on the roadside, which was a military vehicle destroyed by a roadside bomb, and it was not clear whether it was a vehicle of the United States Army or the Iraqi Government Army. "We have no danger along the way, and it can be regarded as Allah's blessing." As soon as Liu Handong finished speaking, a rocket flew out of the oblique stab, and went straight to the Humvee in front of him, the driving skills of the fire and thunder were not bad, and the rocket was avoided with a flick of the tail, Xiao Cui leaned out, and the M6O machine gun fired.

Liu Handong also shot outward, don't care if he saw the enemy, a shuttle of bullets swept out first, and then said, what attacked them was an ambush on a hill 200 meters away, and the sound was a gun clan, and the government army and extremist forces used it, so they couldn't tell who it was.

Xiao Cui and Huo Lei jumped out of the car, looked for cover, and continued shooting.

"Brother Dong, let's go, let's cover." Fire Thunder shouted.

Liu Handong did not hesitate, with one foot on the accelerator, the JMC pickup truck shot out like an arrow from the string, and the two brothers were more than lucky, but he had no other choice.

According to the intelligence, the multinational force was stationed in the camp ten kilometers away, and if it was too late, it could borrow troops to come back to rescue them, Liu Handong drove the car fast, and suddenly there was a piercing noise, and the car lay down, and rushed forward for a distance by inertia, and finally stopped on the road.

Liu Handong got out of the car, lifted the motive cover to check, and couldn't touch it everywhere, so he unscrewed the lid of the water tank with a towel, and the water inside was boiled dry.

"Instructor, bring a bottle of water." Liu Handong said.

Qin Xianyang didn't move, he answered the phone in the car, his expression was a little strange.

"Instructor, I'll let you get a bottle of water." Liu Handong straightened up, Qin Xianyang hung up the phone, got out of the car, took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Liu, there is a change in the task, you should be mentally prepared." ”

"How has it changed?" Liu Handong was impatient.

Qin Xianyang said: "There is a call from Beijing, let's send Amir back to Colin and hand it over to the authorities for disposal." ”

Liu Handong's eyes widened: "I heard me right, we have all come here, you asked me to send the little prince back and hand it over to the usurping prince, is the person who gave this order stupid." ”

Qin Xianyang said: "The duty of a soldier is to obey orders, no matter how ridiculous this order is, it must be carried out to the letter. ”

Liu Handong said: "Lao Tzu refuses to accept this kind of chaotic life!" ”

Qin Xianyang pulled out the pistol with a single brush, and he shot much faster than Liu Handong imagined.

"Disobey military orders, you know what the end will be." Qin Xianyang said.
