Chapter 45: Baghdad

Seeing the sudden change, the people who were waiting for the inspection sat on their chairs with a confused face, not daring to move.

Zheng Jing looked at the swarthy muzzle of the gun and was nervous.

"I knew that this treasure hunt process wouldn't go well, and sure enough, something happened before the entered the country, and if it did, it would have to be after entry?"

Zheng Jing sat nervously in the chair, and suddenly he felt a little wet under his buttocks, and he also smelled a smell of urine.

Damn, isn't it, someone scared to pee?

Zheng Jing lowered his head and looked at the chair, and sure enough, he saw that the person sitting next to him had a wet piece under his buttocks.

Seeing that the person next to him was shaking like sifting chaff, before Zheng Jing could say anything, he saw two soldiers coming to him, and without saying a word, he grabbed him and brought him in.

Seeing this, the rest of the people were even more afraid to move.

Zheng Jing moved his buttocks, and the wet feeling reminded him that he was stained with pee.

Bad luck.

After half an hour of sitting on pins and needles, Zheng Jing saw four heavily armed soldiers coming from outside.

They entered the room as they entered, and after a while they saw that the two men who had just been captured were taken away by the four soldiers who followed.

Subsequently, the examination continues.

What happened just now, the rest of the people were trembling and didn't dare to say anything.

It's quiet.

Soon, it was Zheng Jing's turn.

The inspector was a bearded man who could not tell his age, and when he saw his passport, a smile appeared on his face, and he smiled and said to Zheng Jing: "Friend of Huaxia, welcome to Iraq."

"What are you doing here?"

"Travel, I'm a travel blogger, and I'm here to see what Iraq is like right now. Take some videos here and upload them to the web. ”

The bearded man saw the visas of several countries in Zheng Jing's passport and confirmed that he was right.

Then, the bearded man whispered something to a soldier next to him, and then Zheng Jing saw the soldier leave.

What's going on?

When Zheng Jing saw the soldiers leaving, he suddenly felt a little panicked.

The bearded man saw Zheng Jing's nervousness, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I asked the embassy staff to come and give you a visa."

Hearing this, Zheng Jing instantly relaxed.

Good guy, almost scared him to death.

Just when Zheng Jing wanted to thank the bearded man, he saw the bearded man in front of him come to him, took out his mobile phone and said, "Friend, can you take a photo?"

"Of course."

Seeing the soldiers around him, did he dare to disagree?

Seeing himself in the phone, Zheng Jing felt that his face was a little stiff.

He swears it wasn't anything to scare.

The bearded man clicked and took several photos, Zheng Jing thought it was good, but who knew that the soldiers around him also took pictures with him one by one.

Seeing that they were so kind to him, Zheng Jing also relaxed his vigilance.

As the last soldier took a picture, Zheng Jing couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

"Let me ask, why do you like to take pictures with me so much?"

The bearded man smiled and said to him, "It's because no foreigners have come here for a long time."

In addition to this reason, there is another reason that he only found out when he entered the country.

That's because the peaceful development of Huaxia in the world has always made them have a great impression of the Chinese people.

After more than 40 years of war, there is a special desire for peace in Iraq.

Pity.

After entering the country, Zheng Jing went to the official exchange office to exchange 10,000 yuan for Iraqi dinars.

The exchange of RMB for Iraqi dinars is 1:200, and 10,000 RMB for more than 2 million dinars.

Walking out of the airport and seeing the off-white taxis outside, Zheng Jing found the nearest one and sat on it.

The driver, who was in his fifties and was dressed very well, saw him come up and looked at him curiously and asked something that he was familiar with.

"Are you from Huaxia or RB?"

"I'm from Huaxia."

"Friends of China, welcome to Iraq, where are you going?"

Hearing that he was coming from Huaxia, the driver happily stretched out his hand and shook it.

Zheng Jing thought of the name that the bearded man had told him just now, and said:

"Hotel Almansur."

Hearing the name of the hotel, the driver asked, "Is that the hotel near the radio and television building?"

"yes, that's it."

"Okay, sit down, I'm leaving."

After saying that, the driver stepped on the accelerator and left the airport.

When he left the airport, Zheng Jing saw a high wall on the right.

The driver saw Zheng Jing looking at the wall and reminded him not to stare at the wall.

From the driver's mouth, it was learned that this wall is the perimeter of the airport and also a cordon.

In addition, under the high wall, there are heavy guards at intervals, so the driver reminded him not to stare at the wall and not to take pictures, if the soldiers find him, he will be taken away for investigation.

Hearing the driver's words, Zheng Jing did not stare at the wall, but looked at the vehicles on the road.

Zheng Jing noticed that there was also a yellow taxi on the road, and while waiting for the traffic light, he asked the driver.

"Is there any difference between this yellow taxi and the taxi I was in?"

When the driver heard this, he said with some pride: "My car can enter the green zone."

Green Zone?

What is this place?

The driver looked at Zheng Jing and saw that he was a little puzzled, and then remembered that he was coming to Iraq for the first time.

While driving, he explained to him what the "Green Zone" was.

After more than 40 years of war, most of Iraq's cities have been bombed.

Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, has not been spared.

Many places were bombed.

After the end of the war, the Iraqi government used the well-preserved area as a garrison and called it the "Green Zone"

And the places that have been bombed, also known as "non-green zones", represent insecurity.

According to the driver, many people now live in non-green zones, and non-green zones are also divided into those who can live and those who cannot live.

Some places were so badly bombed that tall buildings were in ruins, and some houses were tilted by the bombing.

These places are uninhabitable.

There are also very few people who pass.

In addition to these places that were severely bombed, there were also some places that were affected by the bombing.

Although these places have not been bombed, the houses here are not very good.

Because on the wall, the most common thing is dense bullet holes.

These bullet holes let those who live here know that it has experienced brutal encounters in the past.

In addition to these, there are many bullet holes in the roof, and from time to time, you can see traces of bazooka bombing.

After listening to the driver's explanation, Zheng Jing had a deep understanding of the green zone and the non-green zone.

I can't believe that Iraq would be divided like this.

After driving over the Tigris River Bridge and driving forward for another ten minutes, he finally came to the Almansur Hotel, near the Broadcasting Building.
