Chapter 388: Red Light!
Hearing Morris say something evil, Yang Jing's interest became even greater.
Seeing that the temporary boss was about to turn into a gossip man, and even his old friend Clark McCann came up, Kevin Martin finally sighed helplessly.
If it was Yang Jing alone, Kevin Martin would have prevaricated, but Clark McCann also wanted to hear it, so Kevin Martin would not have refused. Kevin Martin and Clark McCann served in the same unit, Clark McCann saved Kevin Martin more than once, and this time Yang Jing came to Algeria, it was Kevin Martin who was contacted by Clark McCann, and this led to Morris and their eight-man mercenary team.
In addition, there is no requirement for confidentiality in this matter, and Clark McCann wanted to know about it more than once on the phone, but Kevin Martin did not give his old friend a detailed explanation, so he simply said it together this time.
"Actually, as you can guess, I was assigned to Algeria by the CIA, and the main target in charge was Gaddafi's fifth son, Mutashim. ”
"Mutasim?" is the Mutasim who is most likely to be Gaddafi's successor?" asked Yang Jing.
"That's right, that's the guy. Although he is the fifth son of Gaddafi, the power in his hands is the largest of all Gaddafi's sons, and Gaddafi himself is also very optimistic about him, so although Gaddafi did not make it clear who his successor was, everyone knows that Mutahim is the second person in Libya after Gaddafi. I was working with three of my colleagues to 'take over' of Mutahim and gather all the information about him, and that was my mission in Tripoli at the time. ”
Kevin Martin took out a cigarette and lit it and took a deep breath, "In 2011, when the Libyan civil war broke out and the whole of Libya was in chaos, I learned through an informant that Mutassim's close aide-de-camp, a man named Somiha Salim, was suddenly sent out by Mutasshim on a top-secret mission. No one knows exactly what the mission is, but with the front line tight, Mutasim still sent his most trusted subordinates out, which must be a very important mission. Later, we analyzed that this Somiha Salim was very likely to hide or transfer wealth for Mutashim, among them, the hiding wealth is the most likely, but unfortunately we paid attention to this guy a little late at that time, and we don't know where this guy went. ”
"At this time, another informant provided information that a woman who was very close to Somiha Salim, who was in fact supposed to be his lover, had gone to the border city of Gudamis in western Libya two days earlier, and I hurried to Gudamis, where we are now. ”
"I was dressed up as a natural scientist and lived there...... "Kevin Martin pointed to the south, "and we just had lunch there." ”
"At that time, there was a mess around Tripoli, but it was not affected in the slightest, and the town was still quiet. After a few days in the hotel, I rented a house with a colleague who had arrived. The reason we used at the time was to look at the groundwater resources here. Well, the room we rented at the time was over there. Yang Jing looked in the direction that Kevin Martin was pointing, and sure enough, he saw a house connected to other houses.
"We found out that Sommy Salim's lover, the woman had been living in a very luxurious villa, and after inquiring we learned that this is where Sommiha Salim's ancestral home is, and that his family became wealthy here after he became the lieutenant of Mutashim. And many people say that Somiha Salim did stop at home with a team of soldiers and a military truck a few days ago, but then entered the desert to the east and never returned. ”
Clark McCann said, "Kevin, the guy you're talking about must be hiding the treasure, I can guarantee you. ”
Kevin Martin nodded at Clark McCann and said, "Clark guessed right, that guy did go into the desert with people, but we don't know exactly where he is hiding." To that end, we devised a plan to kidnap this guy and then force out where he was hiding his treasure. ”
"The plan was well developed, and when Somiha Salim returned from the desert with his men, we found the right opportunity to capture this guy, and they caught him at the time, but unfortunately, in the process of retreating, we encountered a large number of militants. Later we learned that this was the troops of Haftar, the initiator of the Libyan civil war. ”
"Presumably Haftar's men also learned about Somiha Salim's hidden treasure, so they followed him to Gudamis. Our vehicle was stopped by the militants, and we had no choice but to retreat back to Gudamis and exchanged fire with Haftar's men, who were killed by stray bullets during the battle, and Haftar's men chased us into Gudamis. ”
Yang Jing knows this person Haftar, this guy used to be a close comrade-in-arms of Gaddafi, and he was once the chief of the general staff of the Libyan army. Later, in the wars between Libya and Chad, he was defeated and captured, and since then he has hated Gaddafi. Later, with the help of the United States, he went to settle in the United States, and when the Libyan civil war broke out, he returned to Libya from the United States, became the supreme leader of the opposition, and eventually overthrew Gaddafi and became the most powerful man in Libya.
"My colleague was not saved by a bullet in the artery of his leg during the fight, and I had to hide in the old town of Gudamis, but fortunately my landlord who rented my house was impressed by my lies, and he hid me in his cellar, and I survived. And because Haftar's men took possession of Gudamis, our men could not take me out at all, and in the end I was abandoned as an outcast. Luckily, I was killed, and Carl led someone to get me out......"
Kevin Martin shrugged his shoulders and flicked the butt of his cigarette out, "This is what I experienced in this city, and this is the nightmare of my life......"
Clark McCann asked with some excitement, "After Carl saved you, why didn't you ask the CIA guys for an explanation?"
Kevin Martin shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's useless, once we do field work, once it's exposed, it's impossible to go back." Besides, I think I'm living a pretty good life now, so why are you going back? Do you want me to serve those officials?"
Clark McCann was asked to say nothing.
Yang Jing asked, "In other words, you almost lost your life, lost your job, and finally didn't get the exact location of the treasures?"
Kevin Martin nodded, "No way, a lot of times things are out of our personal will. If Haftar's men had arrived twenty minutes late, we would have been able to get Somiha Salim out safely, and the whereabouts of the treasure would have been settled. But alas, there are not so many ifs in the world. ”
After a pause, Kevin Martin pointed to the southeast and said, "One thing is for sure, Somiha Salim's treasure should be in that direction, and it should not be far from Gudamis. It's a pity that it's all desert over there, so you can't find it at all. ”
"Can't you look for it?" Yang Jing asked himself in his heart, and then shook his head slightly, "Have you rested enough?If you have rested enough, let's go out for a walk?" I want to see the 'Eye of Durban' and the 'Eye of Hilalia', I have never seen a lake in the desert." ”
A group of people stood up and hugged Yang Jing towards the parking position, and met some locals on the way, all of whom avoided them from a distance.
Driving out of the city, driving east along the road from Gudamis to Daraiji, about ten kilometers out of the city, Yang Jing saw a very high sand dune towering in the sea of sand.
"Chris, drive over and see, I've never seen such a high sand dune. ”
Chris said a few words into the intercom, and the car at the head turned off the road and headed for the sand dunes about a kilometer from the road.
The convoy soon stopped under this "sand dune", and when Yang Jing got closer, he realized that he had seen it wrong, this was not a sand dune, to be exact, it was a small hill with very serious desertification.
Kevin Martin and Yang Jing sat in a car and said, "BOSS, this hill is the highest hill near Gudamis, we came a little early, if you wait a few more hours, you can enjoy the sunset here, the scenery is very spectacular." ”
Yang Jing nodded, "Let's go, go up and have a look, even if you can't enjoy the sunset, you can overlook the surroundings." ”
At this time, there are rare clouds in the sky, which makes the daylight not so strong, but even so, the temperature here is more than 40 degrees. But fortunately, this hill is not very high, only about 100 meters, and it took Yang Jing less than ten minutes to climb it.
Of course, it's inevitable to sweat all over the body.
Sure enough, it was a climb to the heights. In a flat desert, standing at such a height and looking into the distance, it is enough to see dozens of kilometers.
Yang Jing pointed to the east and asked, "That's Gudamis Airport, right?"
"Well, that's the airport, about fifteen kilometers northeast of the airport, is the Durban Eye Lake. Kevin Martin pointed to the dry river below the hill and said, "This is the Tenarut Dry River, which ends in the area where the Durban Eye Lake is located, and starts at the Hamra Hill over there." Well, if you look in that direction, you can see Mount Hamra. It's about twenty-five kilometers away. ”
Yang Jing looked in the direction pointed by Kevin Martin, and could vaguely see an intermittent mountain, but it was not very high.
Seeing this intermittent mountain range, Yang Jing almost subconsciously used the "Sky Eye" skill, and then, he vaguely saw a red light emerging from that mountain range......
