Inside the VP13 armored personnel carrier, Qiao Mai was wearing body armor and was slightly nervous looking at the data on the mobile terminal screen.

According to the data, the large-scale attack caused a total of seven breakpoints on the gas pipeline, each of which was more than 30 meters long.

It has to be said that this is quite a serious damage.

You must know that the total length of the entire gas pipeline is only about 110 kilometers, and even if she does not know anything about military affairs and operations, she can fully understand how difficult it is to organize so many attacks at the same time at such a short distance, and all of them have achieved results.

Even more frighteningly, part of the gas pipeline passed through the interior of the city, less than 400 meters underground from the local police station in Ras Larackera, and the attackers also succeeded in carrying out the explosion and quickly evacuated the scene without the police being able to react at all.

Although the Qatari side relied on cameras on the street to lock the license plate of the suspicious vehicle, it is clear that they will inevitably be in the air after tracking it all the way.

It can be said that the degree of professionalism shown in this attack is definitely not what "a certain terrorist force" claimed at the beginning of the attack.

There must be someone behind the command and dispatch, and there must be intelligence and technical support specifically for this pipeline.

Except for the inner ghost, I'm afraid there are only a handful of forces in this world that can do this.

Thinking of this, Qiao Mai's brows relaxed.

The officer on the side looked at her performance curiously and asked:

"Aren't you afraid?"

"I was a little scared at first, but after I figured it out, I wasn't afraid."

Qiao Mai replied.

"Oh? Figured it out? How did you figure it out? ”

"That's what I think, people who have the ability to blow up pipelines, their purpose must be limited to blowing up pipelines, not to cause more casualties."

"If you want to cause casualties, you can't blow up the pipeline."

"So, at the end of the day, this incident is more of a harassment than a declaration of war, am I right?"

Hearing his words, the officer laughed and said with admiration:

"Otherwise, how can you say that you research people are smart people?"

"I know everything, I really know a little bit about everything."

"At the moment, we see that the situation is indeed similar to what you think. This attack could not have been a purely anti-human KB attack, but a purposeful campaign of harassment against the base of Laslaqueira. ”

"Qatar's forward reconnaissance report has been sent back, and the other side used extremely professional directional blasting technology, but in order to cover up their 'professionalism', they deliberately used home-made explosives to create a large amount of fire and smoke."

"It's clear that they're trying to muddy the waters."

"And as soon as the previous explosion sounded and the pipeline was broken, their purpose was achieved."

"The likelihood of another attack on our personnel is almost zero."

Qiao Mai nodded slightly, and then asked:

"How do you know? I mean, how can you tell it's a directional blast? ”

In her concept, the form of each explosion is basically the same, and without a special identification report, it is impossible to draw conclusions in such a short time, right?

"This time it was a stroke of luck-—— one of the seven explosion sites was located in the open field, and the first explosion marks left on the ground were not covered."

"I guess those people were going to destroy the evidence with the shock wave of the secondary explosion, but they underestimated the peculiarities of the desert geography."

"To put it simply, the footprints on the sand haven't been wiped clean, and that's the only mistake we've seen them make so far."

"Understood."

Jomai nodded again, and by this time, the troop carrier had reached the nearest explosion point to the base of Rasrackela.

After stopping, the military left according to the predetermined battle plan, two wheeled armored vehicles went out to stand on guard, the infantry used portable fortifications to build a defensive line, drones were released, and two Wuzhi 10 were alternately patrolled.

The area within a radius of 5 kilometers seems to be covered with a large net, and within this net, it is absolutely impossible for any wind and grass to escape the eyes of the military.

After making sure that everything was ready, Qiao Mai stepped out of the troop carrier under the guidance of the officer, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but gasp.

The destruction was too complete.

Like most desert gas pipelines, the Ras Laqueira gas pipeline is designed to be laid overhead due to the complexity of the terrain and the variability of surface temperatures.

On both sides of the pipe, two steel frame brackets are held up every 10 meters.

According to normal logic, the easiest way to destroy the gas pipeline is to blow up the bracket directly, so that under the influence of the pipeline's own weight, the entire pipeline will fall and break, and the purpose of the saboteur will be achieved.

But what Qiao Mai sees now is not this idea at all.

The saboteurs directly blew up the nearly 100-meter-long pipeline, and those collapsed supports are likely to be just a chain reaction caused by a violent explosion-

But does it really make sense?

Obviously, the purpose of these people is not to slow down the repair process as much as possible, otherwise they could have used all these explosives on the bracket.

Look at this posture, let alone a hundred meters, if you plan well, it's enough to blow up two kilometers, right?

Qiao Mai looked around suspiciously, and then she walked to the center of the explosion.

The ground was still littered with blown metal shards, and she cautiously shrunk around the ruins, looking up at the relatively intact western pipe break that had fallen to the side.

Then, she subconsciously reached out and pasted on the exposed inner wall of the outer pipe, which was hot by the sun.

"How's that, is it difficult to fix?"

The officer on the side asked.

Qiao Mai shook his head and didn't answer immediately.

She continued on for a while, until she reached a point where the blast wave of the explosion had been completely digested and the pipe structure was unaffected, before finally stopping.

Looking back, it was only 150 meters from the center of the explosion.

In other words, the explosion in this section affected the function of the pipeline for about 300 meters in total.

What if all of them are replaced in three days?

If you slow down, a week is enough.

You must know that the highest record of Huaxia Oil and Gas Group's single-day footage is 160 meters, which is still a record set on the Sino-Russian gas transmission line with complex terrain and freezing weather.

Things are getting weirder.

Qiao Mai withdrew his gaze, and then said to the officer:

"It's not that hard to fix."

"I can only make a preliminary judgment that the length of the affected pipeline at this point is not long - the specific number needs to be evaluated by the relevant personnel."

"But. Now we don't have to think about how to fix this problem. ”

"It should be said that we should fix it or not"

"We definitely didn't do it!"

"How could we possibly blow up their gas pipelines, what does this have to do with us!?"

"It's not in our sphere of activity at all, and it doesn't have any impact on our interests?"

"And what about the Commonwealth of Arabia? They won't hit the mountains right away! ”

"What's more, even if they do hit the mountains, we won't blow up any pipelines, right? We're going to pick at least one target that's a little closer, like Kabul, like Ras Laqueira in Riyadh, what's going on? What is that place worth to us?! ”

"Really, absolutely not, sir, you must believe us!"

"No, I'm sure my men wouldn't do such stupid things, not just my men, but also our other brothers!"

"What a moon landing program. What? Voice of Allah?? Where did this rumor come from?! ”

"Sir, we are only extremely religious, not extremely stupid!"

"Nuclear fusion has been born, who would be stupid enough to think that Allah lives on the moon!?"

Somewhere in AFghan, in a camp deep in the mountains, Ahunchard yelled at the heavily armed white man in front of him, almost in a rage.

There was a completely inexplicable expression on his face, and in this inexplicability, there was an extremely obvious anger mixed with being wronged.

Across from him, the white man had a calm face.

He fiddled with the speed and slowness of the rifle in his hand, and the click was especially harsh in the silence of the camp.

It took two minutes before he finally broke the silence and spoke:

"Now, you are the most suspicious, there is no doubt about that."

"And, to make matters worse, you've dragged us overboard."

"According to our intelligence, Huaxia has not even expressed its position, and Qatar has already begun to suspect us."

"They suspect that it was we who provided technical and command support to assist you in the attack."

"Do you know how serious such an accusation is? Do you know how uncontrollable the consequences we are about to face? ”

"I can only advise you one thing, never lie to me."

"Otherwise. I don't know what happened to your brothers, but you will never leave alive. ”

Hearing his words, Ahonchard clenched his fists.

Threaten me?

It doesn't matter, I've been an informant for so long, and being threatened is a common thing.

He doesn't know how many times he has been forced to ask if something is true or false when he is pointed at gunpoint.

Neither his "brothers" nor the forces represented behind the white men actually saw themselves as human beings.

But at least before, they were still reasonable.

And now?

What's going on now??

Ask me for confirmation of something that doesn't exist, how do you want me to answer you?

Yes, we did it, and we are responsible for it.

Is that so?

Ahom Chad took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the curse that rushed to his mouth, and then stabilized his mind, spread his hands reverently, and said:

"I swear to Allah that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with us."

"At least, to the best of my knowledge, I had no idea it was about us."

Hearing this, the white man's brow furrowed.

Ahonchard dared to say this, which shows that he is indeed confident in the information he has in his possession.

Most likely, the attack really was not initiated by them.

——

Indeed, such actions do not mean much to them, and the so-called "preventing the evil forces from drawing near to Allah" is also extremely absurd.

But the question is, who else could it be if it wasn't them?

According to the man's own intelligence, it is impossible for his own side to have anything to do with this matter, otherwise his superiors would not have been able to issue such urgent orders and grant such high-level authority, so that he could find out the truth as quickly as possible.

Europe?

This is indeed one of the suspects, and their oil and gas conglomerates and power conglomerates do have a motive to carry out the attack.

But no matter how you look at it, such a motivation is too weak.

Russia?

Well, they seem to be people who can do this kind of thing, and coupled with the initial competition between Russia and Qatar over gas pipelines and metal hydrogen technology, it is possible for them to use such actions to expand their advantage at the negotiating table.

But the timing is not very right.

It's too late, it's too early.

Either start building just as you start, or wait for the fusion power plant to be completed and the industrial complex ready to start operating.

Now this node that is not close to each other, why is this happening?

Headache.

The man scratched his head subconsciously, and his mind raced through all the forces on the list that might be related to the attack.

But after several turns, he didn't get the answer he wanted.

This incident happened really weirdly, and according to the information on the scene that has been made public so far, the "destructive significance" of the attack itself is really not great, but the intention of "demonstration" is more obvious.

How many organizations can fit this approach?

The United States behind us is counted as one, but we really didn't do it.

The organization behind the informant in front of him is counted as one, and they also said that they didn't do it.

Ah San is also capable of doing such stupid things, but their hands can't reach here.

Could it be a local chicken??

The man was instantly alert.

Yes, when the Commonwealth of Arab States was founded, the local chicken was a clear opponent.

Their strength can indeed achieve the effect needed for this attack.

But are they really stupid enough to be that stupid?

In any case, it is necessary to make sure.

Thinking of this, the man put away the gun in his hand, stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of Ahonchad, who was opposite, and then said:

"I believe in you."

"After all, you've never lied to us in the past."

"However, I would like to warn you that the investigation against you will not stop."

"During this time, you'd better settle off now that it's not just us, the eyes of the East are also watching you."

"You can't stop DF-21 from cherishing your own life."

Ahonchad finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the current level is over.

However, what the man said is indeed very reasonable.

The Commonwealth of the Arab States is the trend of the times.

And the organization behind itself is naturally contrary to this strategy.

Maybe

I really should, be good?
