Chapter 343: Turmoil

Seeing the helicopters flying close to the ground, Wang Dong carefully observed for a while before putting down his binoculars and waving his hand to the operatives standing under the sand dunes.

Soon, yellow smoke rose from behind.

It was a yellow smoke flare thrown by the operatives.

After the four MH-60Rs flew over, they went around in a circle before landing one after another.

The team was led by an old acquaintance, Saeed, who has the same name as the murdered Iraqi prime minister, but he is now a colonel officer and commander of the special forces directly under the Saudi Ministry of Defense.

Back then, when they followed Wang Dong and them to Yemen, Saeed was only a major.

Said brought thirty special forces.

"Colonel!"

"That's all you guys?" Said glanced around, and when he set off, he received the news that Wang Dong had brought a few hundred people.

"Fewer people are more convenient."

At this time, the unloaded MH-60R landed.

Under the organization of the special forces, Razak and others boarded the plane one after another.

"The crown prince asked me to take you back, saying it was ......"

"Not now."

Said was slightly stunned and closed his mouth.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince for me, but we still have some things to deal with. When I'm done, I'll visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person. ”

"You're not leaving?"

Wang Dong nodded, he had already made it clear.

Besides, there were only four helicopters coming, and there were less than thirty empty spaces, so it was only Wang Dong who Saeed wanted to pick up, not everyone.

Said let out a long breath and said, "Okay, I'll give you a radio." The crown prince has given the order to mobilize, and we are stationed in the military city of King Khaled. Anytime, no matter what, you can call us at any time. Although we are not as strong as yours, we have plenty of men. ”

Wang Dong smiled, indicating that he understood what Said meant.

Leaving behind a military-encrypted radio station, Saeed got into the helicopter.

Seeing the four helicopters fly away, Wang Dongcai walked towards the off-road vehicle parked next to the sand dune.

Having handed over Razak to the Saudi special forces and completed the task assigned by Crown Prince Mohammed, it is time to complete another task.

"I just received a call, Brother Chu and they have arrived at the international airport, met with the embassy personnel, the first batch of planes have also landed smoothly, and the evacuation operation is underway."

"Trouble?"

"Not at the moment, but the situation is not very optimistic."

Wang Dong was slightly stunned and looked at Luo Qing.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not yet been in contact with the Iraqi authorities, and by the time the phone called, troops loyal to Karim had already arrived outside the airport. Although no direct clashes have yet broken out, the Iraqi army has cut off all roads leading to the airport. ”

"And the expatriates didn't make it to the airport?"

"The first batch of 3,000 evacuates has rushed to the airport, but the fuel reserves at the airport have been exhausted, and the planes that evacuated the overseas Chinese cannot replenish the fuel." Luo Qing paused slightly, and then said, "Brother Chu is already thinking of a way, maybe he can get a little fuel from other planes." ”

"Contact the fourth brother and see if we can let these planes go to Saudi Arabia first, or Basra."

"That's not the main problem."

Wang Dong was stunned again, feeling that Luo Qing was a little wordy.

"Brother Chu suspects that it was not the Iraqi army that surrounded the airport."

"Quds Force?"

Luo Qing nodded and said, "The situation in Baghdad is extremely chaotic, and Karim, who carried out the coup d'Γ©tat, has not spoken publicly so far. The point is, Karim only has two garrisons at his disposal, and he must have suffered casualties in the previous battles against the 'Menini' brigade. Even if all goes well, the Iraqi Defense Forces deployed to the north will not return to Baghdad until this evening. As long as Karim is not too stupid, he will remain silent, keep enough troops, and wait until the main forces of the Wehrmacht arrive before sweeping the city. ”

"That is, Baghdad is now in a state of anarchy?"

"Pretty much."

"Let's go right away."

Time is precious, Wang Dong didn't dwell on it.

Anarchy means that anything can happen, and no one is held accountable for it.

Let's not forget that Iraq's legitimate government, the interim government led by Razak, has been overthrown by a coup, and Karim, who carried out the coup, has not yet declared official power.

In this window period, Iraq is hell on earth.

At that time, if the airport is attacked and the people stranded in the airport are attacked, they can only consider themselves unlucky, and it is useless to find anyone.

Perhaps, that's why Karim let it go.

Quite simply, Razak had already left the Speaker's residence, but no one knew that he had left Baghdad, let alone that he was on his way to Basra.

The situation is so chaotic that Karim has reason to believe that Razak is still in Baghdad.

For this, Karim will definitely block all access roads capable of leaving Baghdad, including the airport.

It's just that Karim doesn't have enough troops in his hands.

The only way, then, is to allow the unrest to spread, or even to allow the Iranian Quds Force to create some unrest and paralyze the airport temporarily.

Apparently, Karim simply doesn't care how many lives are lost in the unrest.

As for Iran's Quds Brigade, which is fighting for the tiger, it is even more desperate for Iraq to become a mess.

You know, if a foreigner dies in the turmoil, Karim will lose the support of the international community and will have to turn to Iran.

Obviously, Iran certainly does not want Karim to become the second Said.

Although Karim is very different from Said in many ways, especially his status as a general, which makes Karim more likely to be regarded as a hardliner, no one can deny that Karim is deeply influenced by Said and may not continue to take a hardline stance after taking office.

If Karim idolizes Said, there is a good chance that he will return to Said's conciliatory path once he takes power.

To prevent such a scenario, Iran will certainly push Karim to the other side, and the most effective way to do that is to create unrest in Iraq.

It is not surprising, then, that Iran sent the Quds Force to surround Baghdad International Airport and even launch an attack.

At this time, Baghdad International Airport.

The standoff has been going on for several hours, and although the guys in the uniforms of the Iraqi Defense Forces have not forced their way through, the situation is not optimistic at all.

The enemy outside the airfield has been increasing and has surrounded the airfield.

Standing between the enemy and the tens of thousands of stranded passengers were only Xie Chuyue and more than 400 other operatives.

As for the guards at the airport, they ran out after the unrest.

Although Xie Chuyue and their combat effectiveness are very strong, it is impossible to defend the airport with such a small number of manpower, and it is difficult to even defend the terminal.

Of course, Xie Chuyue did not waste these few hours of precious time.

Under his organization, the operatives deployed two lines of defense around the terminal, controlled the main runway close to the terminal, and concentrated passengers.

If it is inevitable, Xie Chuyue will fight here until the last moment.
