On the scenic Iraqi highway along the way, two off-road vehicles and a pickup truck drove from the town of Marin towards the city of Baghdad.

On the second explorer off-road vehicle, Cai Ruichen sat quietly in the second row, and Natasha, who changed into an Iraqi women's costume, sat quietly next to him.

Cai Ruichen has changed out of a suit and is wearing a cool casual outfit, in such a hot Iraq, no one will go out in a suit unless it is a formal occasion.

Natasha's outfit is an authentic Iraqi woman's outfit, one is to disguise her identity.

In addition, it is also to take care of the worldly gaze here, after all, when women go out, they can only show their eyes, especially their hair and neck, which must be covered.

Now Natasha is covered in black cloth all over her body, revealing only a pair of eyes.

On the back seat, there are two weapon boxes, one is Cai Ruichen's own, and the other is Natasha's black star that has never been taken out.

Some of the drowsy generals, standing next to the two weapons, their huge bodies almost occupying the spacious three rows of seats at the back.

In the front co-pilot, there was Idris, who was accompanying him, and the convoy was driven directly from the No. 1 warehouse of the Future Group.

In the three vehicles, there are 10 armed men accompanying the protection, and on the pickup truck at the rear, machine guns can also be set up at any time to act as fire support.

The ten armed men and the two drivers on the off-road vehicle were all brought by Idris, and as for the mobilizers, Cai Ruichen did not let them follow.

After all, when he came to Baghdad this time, he was not looking for trouble, but doing things.

As for security, if even Natasha and the general can't ensure their own safety, then even if all the mobilized soldiers are brought in, the result will be the same. After all, the combat effectiveness of the mobilized soldiers is about the same as that of those armed men.

Even those armed forces with rich combat experience are stronger than ordinary conscripts.

It's just that Idris has some complaints about Cai Ruichen actually taking a woman on the road together.

Especially when he saw that Cai Ruichen was still sitting on the seat in the second row with the woman, he wanted to say something, but after thinking that Cai Ruichen was not Iraqi, he also closed his mouth.

In Iraq, men and women are generally not allowed to go out on the streets together, and even when they do, they must keep a certain distance, let alone hold hands.

And when ordinary men come out to run errands, it is even more impossible for women to accompany them, otherwise in the eyes of other Iraqis, it will be an insult.

Idris really wanted to remind Cai Ruichen, but he didn't dare to say it too directly, so he could only remind him when he was about to do business.

The convoy was very calm all the way, except that when it officially entered the city of Baghdad, the convoy was stopped when it was about to go down the highway.

On the side of the road at the exit of the highway, two Abrams main battle tanks, two BMP armored vehicles and six Humvees were parked, and hundreds of Iraqi government soldiers set up three checkpoints at the intersection.

All vehicles that step off the highway are subject to the strictest checks, and if they are undocumented, or even if they are found with explosives, they will be arrested immediately.

As for resistance, those tanks and armored vehicles are not here to flex their muscles.

It's just that Cai Ruichen in the car looked at the American main battle tank and the Russian armored vehicle parked together, and felt quite funny in his heart.

When the United States withdrew, it left behind a large number of main battle tanks and Humvees, and at first the Iraqis felt that they had picked up a big bargain. But it soon became clear that the maintenance cost of American-style equipment was too high, and the requirements for the operation of soldiers were not small.

The most important thing is that they are all castrated goods, when the US military was in Iraq, the Abrams had a record of zero losses, but in less than a year, hundreds of vehicles were destroyed by the ** armed forces and the Islamic State.

Among them, there is the poor combat quality of the Iraqi Defense Forces, and the almost mentally retarded way of using tanks, as well as the Abrams sold by the United States to Iraq, which do not have any additional protective equipment.

There is another reason, if you want to use these American-style weapons and equipment completely and rationally, the Iraqi government forces do not have such a level at all, and they still need the Americans to teach them how to use them, and they still need the Americans to maintain these equipment, and it is super expensive to buy parts and something.

Although Iraq is reluctant to accept these high-end weapons and equipment, there is no way to join the government army on a large scale, but Russia's weapons and equipment are cheap and easy to use, and they are easy to operate.

First bought twelve Su-25 second-hand fighters, and then purchased a batch of BMP armored vehicles.

This is the picture of American main battle tanks and Russian armored vehicles together, which can be regarded as a major feature of the Iraqi government army.

There are not many cars entering Baghdad, but due to strict inspections, there is a long queue at the highway intersection.

Seeing that there were at least a dozen cars waiting to be inspected in front of him, Cai Ruichen asked helplessly: "Is this like this every day?" ”

"Mr. Cai has never been to Baghdad, it has been like this for several years, and before he officially enters the city of Baghdad, he has to go through several checkpoints, and it is estimated that after entering Baghdad, he can have dinner." Idris replied.

"Is this check useful? The daily explosions in Baghdad are not still ringing. Cai Ruichen said with some sarcasm.

"There is certainly a use, and this inspection is also to show the population or the international community that the Iraqi government forces have been working hard for the security situation in Baghdad and have not slackened in any way." Idris said.

"It's ridiculous, to protect the safety of your own capital and people, do you still need to show it to others? That's the responsibility of a soldier, not a coping task. Cai Ruichen said mockingly.

"No matter how much you stop it, you can't prevent the explosion from happening!" Idris said helplessly.

"I think it's in the eyes of the Iraqi government, maybe the explosives in the hands of those extremists were sold by the Iraqi government itself." Cai Ruichen still sarcastically said mercilessly.

These days, with his knowledge of Iraq, he has heard a lot of scandals, although the truth of the rumors needs to be investigated, and it is possible that ** people made things out of nothing, but if the Iraqi government is really so perfect, these words will not be transmitted.

After all, flies don't bite eggs that aren't slit, and if it weren't for that, why would he take a million-dollar dinar with him when he decided to leave for Baghdad.

It's not that I don't know that in such a country, almost nothing can be done without money to open the way.

In the context of world civilization, although some things cannot be put on the surface, the dirtiness in the dark is not uncommon.

Hearing Cai Ruichen's sarcasm, Idris couldn't refute it, he naturally knew that there was a secret exchange of interests, but as an Iraqi, he definitely couldn't scold his motherland in front of a guy who belonged to an outsider.

No matter how disappointing the motherland is, it is also his own country, and as an Iraqi, he can scold the government of his country, and he can also express his dissatisfaction, but he must not express this dissatisfaction in front of others, because he still loves this country.

"In the future, these will definitely not be the case again." Idris could only answer like this, which was also a comfort to himself.

"Unless it's an efficient and cohesive political structure, Iraq will be like this in a hundred years."

Regarding the disappointment of Iraq's best system, Cai Ruichen said mercilessly: "Completely overthrow this government system, break all the current order, use iron-fisted means to destroy the chain of interests of those **, and rebuild the Iraqi country with efficient governance methods, so that the Iraqi people can hope to live a peaceful life in the true sense."

Once life is better, where will those extremists still have a place to live? Those civilians will no longer be brainwashed by those extremist ideas, and without the support of those desperate people, extremist groups will not survive for a day. Peace is also a real possibility for Iraq. ”

When Idris heard Cai Ruichen's words, he fell completely silent, and he couldn't help but think of some of the things his grandfather had said at the beginning, and there seemed to be no difference between what the young man behind him had just said.
