There were many 'holes' in Tang Wei's plan, but none of the three pointed it out, it was only because he was seriously inexperienced, and he had not even been trained in this area at all.

ACE and Tang Wei went to the outskirts to check whether the 'smugglers' could be trusted.

Smugglers are a good idea, if they are honest enough, but the problem is that when dealing with these people who only know the benefits, you have to be very spiritual. The car drove into the desert against the morning glow, and the sunlight and the reflection of the desert still made ACE who was wearing sunglasses squint, but it was not yet *** noon.

The heat is coming. Along the way, the trucks of the transport company where Tang Wei worked passed by, and they transported things and things, all for the people in Baghdad's Green Zone. No matter what the era, people have to live two lives, one is rich and the other is poor, and no social system can change the fact that, and what is more interesting is that both people complain.

So what kind of person am I? ACE asked himself because he had nothing to do.

Of course, you are *** poor, which is why you are in this ghost place in such a ghost weather.

ACE looked at Tang Wei, who was also tightly covered. You're a poor man, Professor, and though you're rich, if you're really smart, you should be basking in a different kind of sun on some small island in the Pacific Ocean this season.

"What are you looking at?" Tang Wei looked at ACE suspiciously. "Do I have a Saddam Hussein on my face?"

"I'm wondering how you found these smugglers." ACE WITHDREW HIS GAZE. "If the 'exchange' breaks, will they give you some unpleasant trouble for your future?"

"It's always the kind of thing that people tell people, so I like it." Tang Wei smiled. "This kind of thing doesn't need to be met to finalize the 'deal', and I know how to get out of such trouble."

At the designated place, ACE met the 'smugglers'. As they had imagined, it was a dozen militiamen with AK rifles, who arrived in two pickup trucks, one of which also had a 'strong' large-caliber machine gun on it. Luo Men's speculation is very reasonable, these guys must have some agreement with the Americans, otherwise they should be the target of the US military to eliminate them with their weapons. This is not a new practice, and the advantage of creating an enemy for yourself is that you can learn a lot of bad news from this enemy, and you can prevent many hostile acts in advance. Americans are very good at doing this.

To test whether they have malicious intentions, it is very simple, that is, to bargain with them, at least from the initial $10,000 per person to about 5,000.

"By Allah, we really can't afford that much money." ACE gestured like a true Arab. "If we don't leave Baghdad, it will fall into the hands of the Americans, can you watch your own brothers suffer?"

"Allah, if He wills, He will reward the one who is better than you, otherwise they deny the Day of Resurrection, and He has prepared a fire for those who deny it." The leader of the smugglers was indifferent to this and waved his hand at his pickup. "My brother and I suffer every day, so suffering may not be as sad as you think. Allah is above and He will show you a clear way, so He has sent us, but at a cost. ”

"The treasures of heaven and earth are only his; He gives him abundance to whomever he desires, and he embarrasses him with his provisions. "ACE replied to the scriptures with verses and insisted on what he wanted." When you ask a man for wealth that he cannot take, you are against the will of Allah. ”

The leader of the smugglers smiled a little on his desert-like face.

"If it were not for that judgment, they would have been judged. Maybe this is the end that you, my brother, must accept. ”

"It may be my sentence, but do not forget, my brother, that there is a sentence immediately after your words: The unrighteous will suffer a painful punishment." ACE looked at the leader with a wry look. "I may be unrighteous in the sight of Allah, but if you extort me, you are also unrighteous."

People who live in the desert have faces that are so calm that they are almost expressionless, and from such faces, it is difficult for ordinary people to see their joys and sorrows. The same goes for the face of this smuggler.

HE LOOKED CAREFULLY INTO ACE'S EYES.

"Seven thousand. Seven thousand each. ”

"Allah bless you!"

ACE folded his hands in front of his chest with emotion, and then he took off the backpack he was carrying cross-body. "Can I leave my stuff in your car? So that I can help my brother move his stuff over. ”

The leader nodded. "Give me the money first, and you can go with your brothers. For dollars, I can even get you a car. ”

ACE took out two dirty bundles of dollars from under his robe, carefully counted out a portion of one of them, and 'handed over' the money to the chief.

The smugglers frowned. "Didn't you say there were three of them?"

"One has already gone to Allah." ACE SPREAD HIS HANDS SADLY. "If there is another one, we won't have enough money."

THE LEADER OF THE SMUGGLERS LOOKED AT ACE'S FACE COLDLY AND SNATCHED HIS BACKPACK FROM HIS HAND.

He opened his backpack, which contained a few pieces of clothing and a few cans of beef 'meat'. The leader took the canned beef 'meat' in his hand and flipped it, and suddenly threw the canned beef 'meat' far away into the desert, stuffed the clothes into his backpack again, and then stuffed the backpack to ACE.

"You don't need this food, it's much richer on the other side of the border than on this side."

ACE hurriedly ran over and put his backpack on a pickup truck, and then ran back to Tang Wei's car.

"How's it going?" Tang Wei looked at him eagerly.

A GRIM SMILE APPEARED ON ACE'S FACE. "Unfortunately, it's the same as we imagined."

Ace and Tang Wei pretended to get the contents of the trunk, and then let Tang Wei crouch behind the tires, and he suddenly took out the Minimi machine gun from the trunk and 'fired' at the 'smugglers'. The leader of the smugglers was beaten into a honeycomb before he could take a few steps, and with a slight twist of the gun, ACE knocked out the smugglers who were guarding the machine guns on one of the pickups. At the same time, the C4 explosives that ACE had thrown into his backpack on the other car and hidden in his pockets were also detonated, blowing up the car and the smugglers in the car into the air, and the violent shock wave almost overturned ACE.

In the thick smoke and flames, only ACE's Minimi machine gun was still 'firing', and after a few seconds, the 'smuggler' threw the machine gun back into the trunk and dragged Tang Wei, who was obviously frightened, back into the car.

"We're going back to Baghdad."

"Why are you doing this?" Tang Wei asked as he started the car. "They can send you to the border."

"If they can get us to the border, they won't bargain with me." ACE watched vigilantly on the road. "Unless they can be compensated from somewhere else, that is, he will betray us to the Americans."

"What if he really promised you to lower the price out of sympathy?!" Tang Wei asked ACE in an almost accusatory tone. "If that's the case, then what was your doing?"

"If that's the case, I'll apologize to them." ACE SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS. "We don't know what the outcome will be, right?"

"I really don't understand, what is the difference between you and the Americans?" Tang Wei knocked on the steering wheel dissatisfied. "They're also victims of war, but now it's our turn to *** these people?"

"There is a difference. Americans do it because they like it, and we do it because we have to. ACE looked at Tang Wei in annoyance. In general, I don't like to explain anything, but one thing I have to tell you is that we have to make sure that we survive no matter what the circumstances. No one else's life matters compared to our own! Professor, we are not teachers of justice, we are weapons of Allah to punish sin, and weapons do not distinguish between justice and evil. ”

Tang Wei looked at ACE in amazement. "It's not like anything I've learned."

"Everything we learn is how we grow. Obviously, Professor, you still have a long way to go in this line. ACE PATTED HIM ON THE SHOULDER FORGIVINGLY. You're not the only one who has ever had such a question, but anyone who can't answer it yourself has ended up failing. Even though you're a professor, you can still learn something from us, and that is to try not to ask yourself questions. ”

"Maybe your captain won't do the same as you." Tang Wei didn't seem to give up. "I think he knows how to deal with situations like this better than you do. In any case, what you did was too cruel and despicable. ”

"You say Ro'mon will be kinder than me?"

Hearing Tang Wei's words, ACE couldn't help but laugh.

"Let me tell you, this is the order of Rommon himself, and I agree with it unconditionally, because I know that everything he does is to keep all of us alive, including you."

Tang Wei drove the car in silence.

After a long time, leaving the smoke and fire far behind him, he looked at ACE.

"You say you are Allah's weapon to punish sin, are you really a Muslim?"

ACE Waner. "It's just fun, Professor. I'm an atheist, I only believe in myself. ”
