319. Chapter 22 (1) A Strange Errand
When they met, the three of them were slightly polite, and then cut to the chase.
"Mr. Lu, if you are in such a hurry to ask us to come here, there must be something important to discuss, in order to save time, please speak up if there is anything."
It's not that he's not used to the other party's nihilistic openings, the habits of the military make him prefer to get straight to the point, but it is this seemingly slightly rude expression that makes Lu Xiaobo have a more intuitive understanding of these two people, although the two people in front of him are young, but they are extremely pragmatic, which makes him feel a lot more at ease.
"Okay, then I won't go around in circles, this matter is really urgent, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of asking you to help, and you have to be fully mentally prepared, this trip will definitely not be smooth sailing."
Seeing that the two were listening carefully, Lu Xiaobo continued:
"After arriving in Syria in the afternoon, after meeting up with one of our staff members and liaison personnel from the Iraqi side, you will go to an undisclosed location to inspect an item handed over to us by the Iraqi intelligence department, which is the latest 'Combat Knife' missile lost by the United States on the battlefield in Iraq."
"After that, you will go to sea with some other people and this cargo on a fishing boat, and at midnight you will transfer to a bulk carrier on the high seas, and that cargo ship will also have another batch of urgent supplies that we have purchased from Ukraine through special channels, and several Ukrainian experts will accompany you, and you will go to Pakistan together after you meet, where we will exchange for our merchant ships and planes and return to China in batches, the general situation is like this, is it a bit chaotic to say this."
After Lu Xiaobo finished speaking, he looked at the reactions of the two people in front of him, but the expressions of these two people were the same as when they came in just now, and they couldn't see any emotional fluctuations.
"Okay, we all understand what you said, and we understand what you mean, is there anything else we need to do?"
As soon as Lezi saw Lu Xiaobo's face, he didn't like this person very much, so he didn't like to listen to what he said.
Lu Xiaobo didn't care much about the attitude of having fun, and then said:
"Your first priority is to ensure the safety of this expert along the way, and the territory you will be traveling to is chaotic and complex, and accidents can happen at any time, so you must be extremely careful and not rash."
"After arriving in Syria, you will immediately rush to the storage location of the goods, and strive to completely remove the positioning system of the missile at the storage place, so as not to be reactivated by the control personnel of the US military on the way, and then determine your location, and then the consequences will be extremely serious."
"Where's the expert you're talking about? Do we need to get to know each other first? In addition, is it up to you to coordinate and arrange the arrival in Syria from here? What authority do we both have to detect danger on the way? How can I contact you? And most importantly, do you have any other options in the event of an accident? ”
It's not that you're not polite, and a series of questions made Lu Xiaobo a little overwhelmed for a while.
"The expert's name is Xiang Wentao, he should come over immediately, you will meet in a while, and then you will leave immediately, the embassy has arranged transportation for you here, and there will be corresponding personnel to pick you up after arriving in Syria, escorting you to the predetermined area, these are three encrypted satellite phones, we contact each other through this, as for the alternative, I will notify you immediately, it is inconvenient to disclose it now, what? Still have any questions? ”
Seeing that the two of them did not make any other requests, Lu Xiaobo talked to the two of them about other situations, informed the Iraqi intelligence officers of the planned operation, and also told them the identity of the person who was going to board the ship with them.
After a brief introduction, several people came to the airport, and at this point, several of them officially embarked on an unknown and risky thorny road.
Because it was a diplomatic channel, the trip to Syria was very smooth, and Lu Xiaobo's pre-arranged assistant Zhang Bing also picked up the three of them smoothly, almost without any pause, Zhang Bing drove several of them all the way into the mountains, and after a long time in the mountains, they came to the storage place where the missing 'Combat Knife' missile was stored.
Originally, I thought that the positioning and tracking devices on the missiles needed to be removed, but when I came here, I saw that these devices had been safely dismantled by the technicians hired by Moussa long ago, which saved a lot of time for the next operation.
Xiang Wentao at the first glance of this missile, he has confirmed that he does not care much about the missile, he is concerned about the missile's guidance and positioning system and power system, these things are intact and have not been destroyed, after getting Xiang Wentao's confirmation, Mousa ordered his subordinates and some staff to work together, the missile was quickly packaged, and then under the leadership of an intelligence officer Enwar, he and Yifei rushed to a small dock in different vehicles, there, Not only is a fishing boat that Moussa had rented beforehand waiting for them, but Faisal's wife, Lisa, and their two children will also be there to join them.
This is the beginning of this complicated journey.
On the way to the pier, Xiang Wentao made contact with Lu Xiaobo in the rear for the first time to confirm the accuracy of the information, and the success of this first step made Lu Xiaobo relax a little.
Lisa had been in a state of panic since she left the country, but she was taken care of by Fazia, who boarded the plane while Lisa was on the flight during a stopover, which evaded Eric's meticulous investigation after the incident.
Although Lisa had successfully arrived at the territory of his brother Atev in Syria, Atev knew that the stakes were high, and as soon as Lisa arrived, he secretly transferred Lisa to a secret location overnight, also to ensure that Lisa's whereabouts were not revealed.
But to Ateve's surprise, the intelligence personnel of the United States are everywhere, after they get a briefing on the situation in the country, the director of the Middle East Affairs Department of the CIA Danny immediately arranged personnel to place surveillance personnel in any possible place where Faisal and Lisa may stay, once Faisal and Lisa appear anywhere in this range, Danny will immediately confirm their whereabouts and arrest them at the appropriate time.
The place where Brother Lisa is staying is, of course, the focus of Danny's watching, not only his people are watching here, but the military and the FBI have also deployed their own personnel here.
After arriving at the airport in Syria, when they drove into the vast mountains, the United States FBI police officer Eric and two assistants Stephen and David also went to the airport, and they will arrive in Saudi Arabia a few hours later, and the purpose of their trip is to try to bring Faisal back to the United States by all means.
After a brief conversation with Zhang Bing, the liaison officer assigned by Lu Xiaobo, Musa greeted Xiang Wentao, Yifei and Lezi who accompanied him, and he took people to leave first.
On the way, Moussa ordered his bodyguards to call Saran, who was already on the high seas, with a new number, informing Saran that everything was still going according to plan, and that Saran was ready to respond.
At the same time, Moussa called his other assistant Iman, informing Iman to immediately escort Lisa's mother and son to the dock to meet Enwar and the others, and not to stop after arriving at the dock, but to board the ship and set sail directly to the sea to meet Saran.
"Iman, you must remember to be cautious along the way, there can be no mistakes, as long as the mother and son are safely transported to Pakistan, you will be a great achievement, therefore, the journey from Lisa's hiding place to the arrival at the dock is particularly crucial, arrange more people along the way, beware of those secret tailgators tracking and leaking your itinerary."
"In addition, you should also pay more attention to the Chinese who boarded the ship with you, especially the two young people, I have a clear feeling that these two people are definitely not as simple as ordinary entourages or assistants, I can see this from their eyes."
"These two young people look at things from a different perspective, they don't care about what is in front of them, they pay attention to some things that are out of our sight, this is definitely not the way ordinary people look at things, so you and Saran must pay more attention, they will not add any trouble to our operation, on the contrary, in the event of a crisis situation, these two people may be a good choice to help, I have already said hello to Saran, after the meeting, you two will discuss it carefully, Remember that ensuring safety is the sole purpose of this operation. ”
Putting down the phone, Musa closed his eyes and let his tense nerves relax for a while, so far, the operation has been smooth, although the area where Atif and his people live has found unknown people snooping around, but Mousa is confident, so far, he is still one step ahead, these people are gathered around Atef's group is not bad, this can greatly reduce the risk of Lisa's travel, as long as Lisa's whereabouts are not detected, These intelligence officers in the United States couldn't keep up with their pace, thinking of this, the corners of Musa's mouth with his eyes closed showed a smug smile.
Musa was still too proud, Danny, the director of the CIA's Middle East Affairs Department, had already discovered Lisa's traces, but the old fox was not in a hurry, he wanted Lisa to bring his people to Faisal's approach, for him, capturing Faisal was the ultimate goal, and he had already received hints from relevant people that if Faisal could not be escorted back to China, then Faisal should also disappear from this earth, in short, Faisal must not be allowed to set foot on the territory of Iraq.
