327. Chapter 24 (3) Something Strange Happened
After talking on the phone with Director Curt, Eric spoke on the phone with Danny, who had already arrived in Pakistan, and unlike Director Curt, Danny, who had already received a detailed report from Tony, was much calmer, and his words were clearer and more pointed, perhaps an instinct that he had honed in the midst of such disputes.
"Eric, the general situation is clear to me, I am thinking about two points now, we still have to divide into two steps, one is that I have contacted our colleagues in Europe, let them thoroughly find out what Rahim's ship is loading, if it is simple weapons and equipment, then those Chinese will definitely not fight for those broken guns, they must have another purpose, on the other hand, you have to step up contact with Dempsey, you can't lose this boat, I will arrange more manpower here, At present, the most likely thing for these people on the ship is to meet at a certain place here, and we can only make a few more preparations, so as not to run out of bamboo baskets when the water is empty, and we can only do it for the time being. ”
The originally relatively simple arrest operation became confusing because of the missile and the intervention of these Chinese.
Moussa was well aware of the current situation, until now, everything was expected, including their search for the fishing boat, Moussa was not worried about their strict investigation, but hoped that they would investigate as carefully as possible, so as to provide him with enough time to plan the next step, while Eric was in frequent contact with Curt and Danny, Musa dialed Lu Xiaobo's phone again.
"Mr. Lu, the current progress is going well, your work on the ship is also going according to schedule, this ship can arrive at the port we agreed in advance in the second half of the night, I guess they will definitely take action against this ship as soon as they find that this ship has deviated from the scheduled route, so you must arrange it well, for us, the accurate and efficient use of time is the key to this operation, so please Mr. Lu must arrange everything you have there."
"Don't worry, everything is already ready there, I will inform them immediately, as soon as this ship docks, we will take action immediately, my side guarantees that there will be no problems, but the pressure on your side will be very high, I know that the old slippery Danny is already over there, he is watching your every move in the dark, and the real test for you will be when these people come ashore, and then you and Danny will inevitably have a head-to-head confrontation, I hope the result will be as you wish."
When Eric and Danny were still going back and forth between Syria and Turkey to find clues, Rahim's ship had successfully sailed through the Suez Canal to the Red Sea, when Eric and Danny found the clues of Rahim's bulk carrier and began to act separately, Danny rushed to Pakistan to intercept it, and Eric returned to Syria again and forcibly stopped the fishing boat with Tony's assistance and thus learned the unexpected information, Rahim's boat had sailed into the Gulf of Aden.
When night had just fallen, and the entire Gulf of Aden was bathed in the golden afterglow of the sunset, Rahim, his ship, and several groups of men and horses who had boarded the ship had sailed into the waters of the Arabian Sea, and at that very moment, Rahim's satellite phone rang.
The call was given to him by Mosa himself when he was leaving the house after he had rushed back to his secret residence in Oman and met with Mousa there, and Mousa specifically instructed that the call should only be answered, and that whatever the call was made and whether the instructions given by the person were reasonable or unreasonable, Mousa demanded that Rahim carry it out unconditionally, but the call had been quiet for several days, and today was the first time it rang.
With trepidation, Rahim picked up the mysterious call.
Compared with Danny and Eric's toiling of going back and forth to find clues in the past few days, Rahim's two-day and two-night voyage was much more relaxed and pleasant, except for the first half of the night, when he ventured out on the stormy sea to transfer people and cargo, the rest of the time was relatively normal.
When he sailed out of the port of Ukraine and docked at the Syrian dock for the first time, Rahim boarded the ship full of his own goods under the 'company' of Saran at that time, and after boarding the ship, he learned that during the period of docking at the Syrian port, his ship was hoisted onto four standard containers, and Rahim was puzzled by Saran's simple explanation of "don't worry" to make him understand who the owner of the box was.
At this time, Rahim is completely a puppet, his cargo ship is completely out of his control at this time, Rahim is like a puppet, how to act has been completely manipulated by others, and this way can best reflect the value of Rahim is to use all his connections, quickly pass through all the necessary places, the modified bulk carrier horsepower is also strong enough, all the way to chop the waves and always sail at the fastest speed on the sea, in the evening Rahim's ship smoothly sailed into the Arabian Gulf before it was normal, Until the phone, which had been silent, rang suddenly.
Listening to the phone, Rahim's face was solemn again, and the person who was talking to him barely gave him a chance to ask questions, almost always telling him what to do next, which made Rahim very depressed, but he had to worry about Musa's strict orders to him.
When the other party finally asked him if he understood, Rahim really couldn't understand the other party's instructions, and couldn't help but ask: "I'm sorry sir, I want to confirm again, you are telling us to change course now and go to the port of Salalah, and someone will take us directly to the unloading dock at the anchorage, is that right?" ”
After the other party gave a positive answer, the phone was hung up, Rahim was blinded, he really couldn't guess what kind of background and identity these people who were dealing with him secretly this time, and how much power they had, so that his bulk ship, which had been sailing unruly and full of arms and prohibited materials, could go all the way unimpeded, and could also sail directly into a port that was not in the docking plan to load and unload goods without reporting or planning, think about this, A chill ran from Rahim's back.
After all, Rahim still gave the captain the latest instructions, and despite the captain's fierce protests, after all, his arms could not be twisted into his thighs, and the bulk ship loaded with mysterious people and sensitive materials sailed to this unplanned port.
Compared with the tension of the previous days, the life on the ship in the past few days is really very comfortable, except for the busy first night after boarding, the two-day voyage has been very smooth, and the smooth flow of the road has allowed Yifei and Lezi to see the huge energy of the manipulator who acts in the shadows.
"Fun, don't patronize and enjoy the scenery, our brothers didn't have any beauty difference this time, while it is relatively calm now, we have to take care of our spirits, there may be something good waiting for us in the next few days."
You just walked into Class A, and Yifei sat next to Le Zi while talking.
The wet sea breeze was blowing, and some selfless pleasure had been sitting in the bow of the boat for nearly an afternoon, looking at the sunset in the distance, and after listening to the words, the music was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he said:
"No, you really have to re-examine my fun in a different way, do you think I spent most of the day here to see the scenery, I'm analyzing the strangeness of our trip, this way down the road is not half completed, it is already a story, don't you think our future in the next few days is very bleak."
"Hehe, you have depth, tell me how our future is bleak."
Hearing Yifei's slightly sarcastic words, Le Zi glanced at Yifei beside him.
"Don't look down on me, today I will talk to you and say, we were going to return to China as planned after the end of the special training, but suddenly it was disrupted by a few irrelevant phone calls, our brothers came to the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea three seas tour, the reason why I thought of the two of us, is not a coincidence that we end the special training, sympathy in our year of hard work and give a reward, but something urgent, I bet, even if we do not end the special training, we can't get away with this errand, because the situation is urgent, time is urgent, Lu Xiaobo and these people can't mobilize all-rounders like us, they can only choose us, which is the first strange point. ”
"Hehe, that's kind of interesting, you go on." Not that he was joking, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
"The second point is that our path is strange, and we don't go straight in a straight line, so we have to go around such a big circle, which is not only laborious, but also increases a lot of risks, why is this? In addition to the obvious point that there must be a request, I think the main thing is to hide from people. ”
"In addition, and the most important point is, why did we get involved with the intelligence agencies of Iraq, especially with Moussa, and for what, and why did Iraq give us this missile that it had so hard to get? Of course, it's possible that they have already got all the information about this missile, but that's not a reason to give it to us, they did it for one thing, and that is the exchange of benefits, he gave us this thing, and we did the work for them, which is the third strange point. ”
"Besides, what's going on with those few Ukrainians? Why didn't they take the plane directly to the place where they were going, and they had to take such a broken bulk carrier to their destination under the raging storm and waves, this is also worth questioning, and the most fundamental problem is that most of the reason why they chose to go this way is probably the same as Faisal, which is also a defection, and they may not be able to get out of the customs at all, which is the fourth strange point. ”
Le Zi said something, and it was indeed well thought out.
