Chapter 162 Beat the grass to frighten the snake

An Feng's sensational words didn't cause much turmoil, and a mercenary beside Cui San grinned and said everyone's thoughts: "Wealth and danger are sought, we came here to exchange our lives for money, the more dangerous it is, the richer it is, isn't it?" ”

An Feng nodded: "Yes, after the operation ends tonight, the remuneration will be very high - I will give a special bonus." ”

"Then what else to say, who do you need, just say it." The mercenaries replied.

An Feng turned to Cui San: "You need a few people who are dexterous, run very fast, and have exceptionally accurate marksmanship."

Cui San responded with a straight chest: "I'll select." ”

When Cui San was selecting the team members, An Feng lowered his head and thought about it, and when the other party selected the right team members, An Feng pointed to Argyle and the Iraqi bodyguard Uss and said, "Cui San, you personally lead the team." From now on, Argyll will take over the security of the base, Us, you and I will get out of the base. ”

"Wait, what's the plan?" Cui San hurriedly stopped An Feng.

An Feng returned to the table, and at this moment, on the basketball court, the computer discarded by the old man and others, and the mobile phone left by the old man were all charged. An Feng turned on the phone to browse for a moment, and immediately forwarded the contents of the mobile phone's memory card to Oldney. Then he reassembled the old man's phone. After a pause, Oldney retrieved the old man's recording from the phone's memory card, and used software to synthesize the old man's voice: "I'm ready." ”

"Beat the grass, you want to scare the snake", After An Feng finished speaking, he immediately called Salvi, who was chasing and killing the old man.

"Hi my dear Salvi, to tell you the unfortunate news that I am not dead yet......"

Although the voice on the phone is very similar to that of an old man, and the phone number is also an old man's, the tone of speech is not the same. The old man is a treacherous person, and generally treacherous people don't like to offend directly, even if he hates you so much, he will smile at you, caring, and will not offend directly with words...... But Salvi forgave the old man's offense, and whoever was hunted down like this, and was seriously injured and waiting to die, probably couldn't help but lose his temper.

"You're not dead yet, and that's good news for me. Don't worry, I'll dig you out, and even if you hide in a hole in the ground, I'll find you...... I want to know where he's hiding, now, ...... right now," Salvi's last words were yelled at the people in his room. An Feng didn't hang up the phone, he listened intently to the movement on the phone, only to hear three or two mobile phone dials ringing around Salvi, and the chatter of Iraqi words rang noisily.

An Feng made this call to allow Oldney to lock down Salvi's specific location through a mobile phone signal. It takes time.

Salvi's people were busy contacting the old man's friends—the two of them had the same resume, and they knew each other almost identically. Salvi knew who the old man could ask for help.

Two minutes later, one of his men covered his phone and whispered to Salvi: "Twenty-three minutes ago, the old man had just contacted Taha Bidawi Hamand, and Hamand said that the old man had told him that a young man from the CIA would come to him for some errand......

It turned out that the time for the old man to evacuate had already passed.

It's late at night, deep, deep night.

Salvi immediately hung up, but ...... The eavesdropping on him had begun, and although Salvi hung up the phone, his voice continued to come from his phone.

Mr. Hamand said the old man had told him that the young men in the C.I.A. had a way to get people out of Iraq and to remain incognito. The old man said that the young man's fee was not high, and that if anyone wanted to, they could contact him. ”

After the coalition occupied Iraq, a playing card wanted warrant was issued for 54 former Iraqi executives...... But in the end, they only caught or killed nine wanted criminals, and the rest disappeared through covert channels. And this is the time when the wanted criminals are looking for a way around.

An Feng still wanted to listen, but on the oil tanker in the distance, Odney let out a cheer: "Found it, I found him"

An Feng pointed at Cui San: "Take action, Argyle, you take two people out and pretend to be a member of the Blackwater Company......"

Cui San immediately asked: "We, we, what do we use to dress?" ”

"Cui San, let your subordinates wear local Iraqi clothes, and spread the security uniforms of the Neptune Fork Company, when necessary, you take off your outer clothes and change all of them into Iraqi ......"

The night is lonely, frightening, and irritating...... Well, in fact, all the feelings that the night brings to people are nothing more than the fear of the unknown.

In the dark night, even the best hunter can't see far, he can't see the direction of progress, he can't see the danger around him, it is possible that a tiger is four or five meters away from him, but his eyes are shrouded in darkness, the tiger's nose smells humans, but humans don't know that danger is on their side.

Salvi was very irritable that night, and he made several phone calls in a row, which gave him a bad feeling......

Well, after years of dictatorship, there is not a single backbone in the whole of Iraq, and the living leaders are all minions who tend to be angry and sycophant. The old man, who was originally at the end of his rope, suddenly appeared next to an authentic American, even if this American was just an American military doctor, but everyone turned around and began to flatter the old man.

Ever since their own leader hid in a hole and was also checked out by American GIs, all Iraqis have been looking for an opportunity to sell themselves to their homes, and now they finally see an opportunity, and they can not be red-eyed -- no one is willing to let go of those who are reserved, and they just wait for the price to be sold, feeling that the price is not suitable for the time being.

After Salvi came out in person, several phone calls came, and the news that the old man had found a new backer also spread. Some of the guys who had attacked the old man with Salvi during the day also cowered on the night, their words flickering and their attitudes vague. No matter how Salvi persuaded him, he didn't have a single accurate word. And those "neutral people", that is, the guys who did not participate in the attack during the day, vaguely revealed a little bit of information about the old man, they said that the old man had approached them, and revealed some of the contents of the call half-truthfully.

But Salvi didn't believe any of them, because the information was so confusing and most of the messages were contradictory that Salvi didn't know who to believe.

When Salvi decided not to contact his old friend anymore, he wandered around the room irritably.

The night was quiet, and now in Baghdad there is no barking of dogs, only the sound of Salvi's incessant footsteps

Where Salvi now lives is a small brick and concrete building that is only five stories high, with two households on each floor. There are four units in the whole building, and the workers of the same unit live - there was no real estate in Iraq before the war, and the houses were all allocated by the state.

Relying on the abundance of petrodollars, in fact, Iraqis lived a good life before the war, as long as they got married and started a family, they could apply for a house from the unit. As a result, often one residential building after another, the whole building is occupied by people from one unit, and everyone knows each other when they push the door.

However, the people in the building did not know Salvi, and they did not know Salvi's true identity. To tell the truth, the four people who were appointed to keep the party dues this time are usually inconspicuous and unfamiliar to the public.

In the past, when the leader was still in power, these four people were engaged in party affairs, while the Baath Party only allowed one leader in the party, and only one nobleman in the country. Except for the leader and others and the leader's family, everyone else is a slave and a fart. Once someone is too showy and thus familiar to the public, diluting the people's worship of the leader and his family, such a person ...... It tends to die ugly.

Salvi moved into the building in the name of an in-law of one of the families in the building, and then the upstairs and downstairs residents of his unit were secretly moved out, except for the first floor and the second original inhabitant, who were left behind as cover, and the rest of the floors were occupied by Salvi's bodyguards - but the group of bodyguards did not know the details of the party fee.

Since deciding to attack your companion and seize the other half of the withdrawal password. Salvi immediately purged the bodyguards who had been attending the meeting and were guarding the door. Some of the hot-blooded and impassioned young people were instigated by him to commit suicide bombings; Salvi assigned them to charge ahead of everything and enjoy himself last, and as a result, after more than a month of exile and escape, the bodyguards who originally knew a little bit of the inside story were all "sprinkled with blood" at his instigation.

That's good, so I don't know the slightest rumor of that party fee. What these bodyguards now know is Salvi's former illustrious status - Salvi didn't even want to expose this point, but he didn't have an administrative rank on his head, and he couldn't coax others to charge ahead.

Attacking his companions, Salvi never regretted it.

In this chaotic era, he believed that the old man would attack him if he found an opportunity, and he was just a little faster than the old man, nothing more.

During the day today, he used the old man's informant to the US military to incite hatred, thus gathering armed forces to attack the old man. At first, Salvi portrayed the operation as heroic, as if it were an old Arab revenge campaign, but he did not expect that after years of brutal repression by the leader and his emphasis on absolute obedience, there would be no independent thinkers in the party.

When obedience has become inertia, everyone will automatically serve the strong.

Now, an American appeared next to the old man, which clearly confirmed the old man's betrayal, but everyone shrank back instead, everyone stopped charging, and everyone wanted to be the leading party...... It's all about it

Saddam Hussein was betrayed by his cronies, and so was Osama bin Laden -- there is no shortage of traitors in Arabia

Salvi was a betrayer himself, but when others showed betrayal intentions, he felt ...... I feel very uncomfortable.

In the middle of the night, at last, a more accurate piece of information was sent, and one of the old man's former supporters was preparing to flee urgently, but because of the urgency of the matter, the old man had to reveal his hiding place - he invited this guy to the former underground air defense command post to meet on the ruins.

Underground air defense command post, Salvi's eyes lit up. He knew that the underground command post could actually hide people, but after being attacked by depleted uranium bombs, the radiation residue there was relatively high, but this kind of radiation residue was not intolerable, and if he could get the anti-radiation drugs of the US military and cover the surface with a layer of lead, it would be safest to hide in that underground air defense post.

There's only one way in and out.

As long as the exit is blocked, none of the people inside can escape.

Salvi immediately asked, "What time is the appointment?" ”

Salvi's subordinate raised his wrist, looked at the glow-in-the-dark gas watch on his wrist, and replied, "Until the appointed time...... Forty minutes to go. It is estimated that the old man does not have many people around him, so he asked his supporters to bring seven or eight men and a cart full of food to ......"

Food? Can't the old man even guarantee food now? Doesn't he have a U.S. intelligence officer backing him up?

The former enemy is now living in such an embarrassment that Salvi does not care to investigate it in detail, he only cares about being proud. He raised his eyebrows beamingly and urged his subordinates to continue: "Go on, keep talking, talk more." ”

The U.S. intelligence officer, who was also nearby, was said to be in the Green Zone as a military medic and was involved in the call. After the phone was connected, the old man said a few words, and then introduced the American military doctor to answer the phone. It was the U.S. intelligence officer who agreed to meet......" the subordinate added.

"Oh, Americans?" Salvi was full of contempt.

The subordinates erupted in laughter.

Although the Americans defeated Iraq, Iraqis still full of contempt for Americans. Before the war, Saddam Hussein had relented to President Bush 47 times and promised international inspectors to go to Iraq to conduct weapons of mass destruction inspections. But in fact, he himself understands that Iraq's senior officials understand that Iraq cannot build weapons of mass destruction, and Iraq does not have the technology.

However, the leader likes to play a game of teasing the president of the United States, and all Iraqis treat it as a rare entertainment. Every time Saddam relented and agreed to be examined, or for an hour or a few minutes, but after a day at most, the leader decided to repentance and refused to accept the inspection, and the whole Iraqi people immediately erupted in cheers. They hoped that the game would go on forever, until the end of the world, but they didn't expect the Americans to be unwilling to cooperate and go straight to the punch.

Despise the Americans, even if they are now beaten and bruised, they still think the Americans are stupid - look at the fools they are made by the leaders, hehe, it's fun

After a while, Salvi asked, "How many of them are there?" ”

The subordinate shook his head: "The old man didn't say how many people he had left, but the people who asked the other party to go were all armed with weapons, and our people guessed it, and he guessed that the old man was very embarrassed, and he had no one under him, and there was no food, so he could only hide in the crypt with radiation residues." ”

Salvi blinked and asked rhetorically, "Why?" Why didn't the American intelligence officer hide the old man in the 'Green Zone,' and why didn't he help the old man, but let the old man ask his own people for help? Why did the old man ask his compatriots to meet at the underground air defense command post? ”

The subordinate shook his head slightly, but immediately said firmly: "Baghdad belongs to the Americans during the day, and at night, it is still Iraqi

Salvi agrees with this view. The life and death of his subordinates were as light as a feather in Salvi's eyes, and he didn't care about using a few subordinates to test the old man's cautious strength.

After going around in circles, Salvi waved his hand: "Go and set it up, gather people to go over and have a look." ”

When his subordinates used to arrange manpower, Salvi continued to think in circles.

Speaking of thinking, in fact, his IQ is not high, he can climb to such a high position, the main specialties are stupidity and obedience - if he is too smart, the boss may be afraid that he will surpass him and take his place, so they will step on him early.

Salvi used to rely on his stupidity to win the trust of his superiors, and relied on sycophant skills to gain the favor of his superiors, so that he could rise to power. As for IQ...... Does Baath content allow such a thing? What is the brainwashing campaign aimed at?

At the moment, Salvi could only exercise his little intellect, guessing the old man's current situation, guessing the old man's plan of action. After a while, he put himself in the old man's shoes:

Perhaps, the old man only came into contact with a low-level intelligence officer...... Well, the old man was seriously wounded, his men were also wounded, and they urgently needed to get medical treatment, so he found an American military doctor head.

The reason why the secret meeting was called a secret meeting was because no one except the four heavyweights present at the meeting knew the specific agenda of the meeting...... Oh, and the leader couldn't be found, so everyone decided to separate and abscond, but the leader has always liked to divide and conquer. As soon as he left, none of the four of us could command the others, so we had to sit together and negotiate......

Now, I've cleared the people around me who are in the know, and those who know may know that the custody of the party fee will be discussed at the meeting. How many people around the old man knew the agenda of the meeting...... No, the old man was not a wise man, and he had survived until now, and he had been constantly promoted, because he was nothing else and would not be anything else than the command of the leader.

Before leaving, the leader instructed us to hide the party dues so that no one would know about them. This money, the leader did not intend to give it to the Iraqis, he wanted to use it to restore his rule, this is the overall situation. So, the old man will keep it a secret - at least from those close to him.

It is possible that the old man did not tell the Americans this secret, and what value can the old man who did not expose this secret be valued by the Americans?

Our million-strong army has been scattered, and now, among the ten people who pick up watermelon rinds to eat on the streets, there may be a division commander and six or seven regiment commanders. In the past, there was no shortage of officials in Iraq, and now no matter how big an official you are, you have to line up with the common people, carry buckets, receive drinking water distributed by the coalition forces, and then hate the coalition forces.

Party offices have been blown up, archives have been burned, and Iraqis are now ordinary people with no status and no administrative rank. What did the old man use to prove his former glory? No, no one knows him, as long as he doesn't say the party dues, he is just a small ordinary person.

Perhaps, the US military doctor treated, but it was only a treatment, and the old man wanted to use this military doctor as a tiger skin to scare others and threaten others to cooperate with him, but ...... See if you can fool me, too.
