Chapter 1639 Trading Company
At this moment, the two cars slowly started and drove forward. After the car drove out for a while, Lao Miao, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the first car, turned around and glanced at the two Cheng Ru in the back seat, grinned and said: "This is an important traffic artery into the city, so it is heavily guarded. There are also several checkposts in front, and a large number of city defense troops are stationed around it."
Sure enough, the jeeps passed through several checkpoints one after another, and rows of barracks were built in the open spaces on both sides of the road, and military trucks and armored vehicles were also scattered among the mountains.
It doesn't take long for the city to be close at hand. The sparse city lights stand out in the dark night sky. Cheng Ru and the others all stared at the sparkling city lights, and they all had a warm feeling in their hearts.
They have been on a mission in the mountains for a long time, and what they saw was not the cold snow-capped mountain cliffs, but the bullet rain that roared past them, and now they suddenly saw the city lights in front of them, and they unconsciously had a warm feeling in their hearts.
At this time, Lao Miao also breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and said with a smile: "Okay, all the checkpoints have been passed, and we are about to enter the city in front."
Cheng Ru looked at Lao Miao and turned his mind, and asked with some puzzlement: "Looking at the scale of the government army along the way, whether it is material equipment or the number of soldiers, it is okay, why can't the rebels in the mountains be exterminated?" ”
Lao Miao replied with a smile: "In terms of weapons and equipment and the number of soldiers, the rebels are simply not comparable to these government troops. However, the terrain in the mountains here is complicated, and this area is a gathering place for ethnic minorities, and many of the local armed forces are armed by these tribes, so it is difficult for the large-scale armored units of the government army to play a role, and they are only deployed near the city for defense."
He glanced at the cat's head beside Cheng Ru, and then said: "And once the infantry penetrates deep into this kind of ice and snow, and they are not the opponents of these natives in the mountains, they will immediately be counterattacked by guerrilla warfare, and it is difficult for them to exterminate these local armed forces in the mountains." That's why we're in this stalemate."
As he spoke, his tone became a little solemn, he continued: "Those terrorists took advantage of the terrain in this icy and snowy land, as well as the situation where there were many local armed factions, and took advantage of the chaos to establish their bases here. They constantly recruited between several factions and armed forces, and gradually formed a certain size here. My task is to keep a close eye on the contacts of these terrorists with those in our country and to prevent them from flowing into our country and causing danger."
Cheng Ru nodded silently, and secretly sighed in his heart that Lao Miao and these people had a difficult task. This is a war-torn area, and they may face danger at any time, but they still stick to this dangerous post in a foreign land and full of artillery fire, and conscientiously dedicate their youth to defend their motherland, which are all loyal national defenders.
The car drove unhurriedly into the city and then shuttled through the streets of the city. Cheng Ru and Xiao Ya behind them all looked out of the car through the window with dark car film.
Although it was late at night, there were still groups of heavily armed patrolmen on the roads of the city, and on the streets near the edge of the city, there were simple bunkers built of sacks, and light and heavy machine guns were placed on the bunkers.
Bonfires were lit next to each bunker, and groups of soldiers were sitting around the fires to keep warm and fend off the freezing temperatures. The whole city was heavily guarded, and it was a tense scene of wartime.
After passing through several checkpoints in the city, the two jeeps finally came to a silent street, and then flashed their lights a few times at a high iron gate. The tall iron gate was immediately opened from the inside, and the two jeeps drove directly into it, stopping in an open field in the courtyard.
Cheng Ru and a few people jumped out of the car and quickly glanced at the courtyard. There are a few dim street lamps in the courtyard, and the courtyard is surrounded by high courtyard walls, and several rows of tall buildings are built on both sides of the courtyard wall, which looks like several huge warehouses.
Opposite the gate is a row of magnificent bungalows, in front of which a rockery is piled up, like a screen separating the back houses from the front, and the exterior decoration of the houses has a strong oriental character.
Cheng Ru and the others glanced at each other, and said secretly in their hearts: It seems that this is Lao Miao's base camp, and the tall buildings around the courtyard wall may be a place to hoard goods, and it is estimated that they are using the identity of trade merchants as a cover.
Lao Miao took a few people around the rockery in front of them, came to a double-opened door in front of the back row of buildings, pushed the door to let a few people in, and then led a few people into a spacious conference room.
On the roof in the middle of the hall, a large crystal chandelier hangs, and the petal-shaped branches and leaves of the chandelier are radiating a crystal-like soft light.
In the sitting area on the side of the hall are several large tan leather sofas, an antique dark brown coffee table sits in the center of several sofas, and a set of porcelain tea sets is placed on the table.
In a corner on the side, there is also a palatial bar, with wine bottles neatly arranged on the shelves in the table, and a row of crystal clear wine glasses hanging above the bar are shining in the light.
Cheng Ru and the others followed Lao Miao into the living room, and were immediately shocked by this luxurious environment. Several people stopped at the door, scanning the luxurious furnishings in astonishment. They had just returned from the icy wilderness, and now they suddenly entered such a magnificent hall, and there was a strong contrast in their hearts, which made several people feel like they were in a different world.
Lao Miao smiled when he saw the stunned looks of several people, and said, "Hehehe, this is to facilitate the work arrangement." If you want to deal with the high-ranking officials here in such a chaotic place, you have to put on a show. Come on, come on, don't be stunned, everyone has worked hard, hurry up and sit down" said, pulling Cheng Ru and walking to the sofa.
Xiao Ya and the others walked to the sofa, looked down at the dirty combat uniform on their bodies, and then looked at the clean sofa, with embarrassed looks on their faces. Lao Miao pressed Cheng Ru on the sofa, and then greeted a few people: "Sit down, you are the real masters here, sit down!" ”
Lingling glanced around, and laughed with a "poof": "Yes, why don't we sit down, do we leave it to those dignitaries?" Xiaoya, sit, it's time for our aunt and grandmother to enjoy it! As soon as her crisp words came out, several people laughed.
When Lao Miao heard Lingling's crisp words, he immediately looked at Xiaoya and Lingling with wide eyes. In the darkness just now, he didn't notice that Lingling and Xiaoya, who were wearing thick combat uniforms, were actually two beautiful girls.
