Chapter 42: The First Experience of Baghdad
The branch of the Imperial Fortress in Baghdad is not small, and a small six-story building is all Imperial Fortress.
It's just that unlike the New York branch, there are sandbag forts on the left and right of the entrance, and steel barricades on the front.
After entering the door, it was not a beautiful blonde girl who greeted people, but a rough man with a slap-wide chest hair, and it was not a white-collar worker in a suit and leather shoes walking around the company, but an American soldier in a combat uniform.
With this kind of atmosphere, not to mention, Wang Zhen felt quite comfortable as soon as he came in.
Take the elevator to the top floor, the office of the general manager of the branch of the empire bulwark in Iraq.
Knocking on the door and entering, Wang Zhen saw a bald man wearing only a green combat vest, and the strong man had tattoos all over his arms.
The general manager of this style ...... I've never seen it before!
You say that it is the big brother of the underworld, which is definitely more believable.
"Darryl, long time no see!" Bourne walked over, and the two of them gave a big hug, patting each other's backs, and they knew that the relationship was very good.
The general manager hugged the members of the Scythe Squad one by one, and finally came to Wangzhen, where Bourne introduced: "The newcomer to our squad, wong Markus. β
"Hello, Darryl Addis, just call me king." Wang Zhen stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party.
Daryl's hands are rough and his fingers are thick.
"Just call me Daryl, it's nice to meet you."
A few small talks, reminiscences, the Scythe Squad has been in Baghdad for more than 2 years, and is very familiar with Daryl Addis.
"That's what Cobham asked me to prepare." Daryl pulled a document out of the drawer and handed it to Byrne, "Hey, you never wanted this before. β
"Don't give it to me, give it to him." Byrne waved his hand in disgust.
Daryl was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Zhen, and looked up and down.
"Thank you." Wang Zhen smiled shyly, stretched out his hand and took a look, it was the information of the mission target Faisal.
"By the way, remember to write a report about Faisal every week." Daryl said.
βWhatοΌβ Byrne looked shocked.
"Don't look at me, I didn't need it originally, but Cobham specially told you to write it, and I don't know why." Daryl spreads his hands.
Bourne glared at Wang Zhen angrily, and Wang Zhen hurriedly said, "No problem, leave it to me." β
It's not a big problem, who hasn't written a review book, a movie viewing experience, or a learning report in China!
Pick up a template and change it.
"Arrange a hotel for you to stay in and rest for two days?" Darryl asked.
"Forget it, let's go directly to Faisal, it's the same one day early and one day late, and it's done early and finished early." Byrne shook his head and said.
"Okay, this is a contract faxed by the company, and Faisal is sent to sign it, you take it to him and sign it." Darryl pulled out another brown paper bag and handed it over.
βOKγβ Byrne reached out and took it, and the brown paper bag had Faisal's name, photograph and address on it.
Patting the brown paper bag, Bourne stood up, "I'll drive a Humvee." β
"It's ready, the ammunition is all on the car." Daryl said with a smile.
"Fack, I don't think you're going to arrange a hotel for us!" Byrne scolded with a laugh.
"The branch is strapped for money." Daryl said with a smile.
"Head, can you get three Humvees?" Wang Zhen suddenly raised his head and said.
In a word, Byrne and Daryl both looked at it, and Wang Zhen explained: "Let Faisal take our car, since you want to make a statement, we should be more generous." β
Byrne looked at Daryl, who looked at Wang Zhen deeply after a slight winch, "Okay, we have a lot of this car, just drive it." β
β¦β¦
The car was parked in front of a small three-story building.
"This is it." Byrne looked up at the house number on the wall.
The house number had obviously been deliberately wiped and was clean.
I didn't get out of the car, I took out the phone and dialed out, and soon the door of the small building opened, and a man in a white robe walked out quickly, opened the big iron gate of the courtyard, and three cars drove in backwards.
According to the donkey, this is to make it easier to rush out and run away when there is an emergency.
What is professionalism?
The details are slow, and Wang Zhen's heart trembles when he listens, dangerous, too dangerous.
The pedestrians did not introduce each other in the courtyard, but walked quickly into the house, and when they arrived in the living room, Bourne introduced himself and introduced the team members to Faisal one by one, all by nicknames.
"Wang, talk to Mr. Faisal, and we'll see the house." The Golden Retriever beckoned to Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen nodded, the golden retrievers couldn't do this job.
An American, an Iraqi, different nationalities, different races, different beliefs, different identities, different statuses, different occupations, and the Golden Retrievers are obviously not social cattle, at most they can talk about three awkward words, and they can't say it anymore.
Wang Zhen is much better, in the past, when he delivered takeaways, he came into contact with strangers, some were picky, some were kind, and sometimes he had to introduce Yao Ji or dishes, and it was good to talk to anyone in a few years.
Of course, the golden retrievers also have a serious matter, follow the Faisal family to visit the small building, understand where is the weak point of defense, where is the strong point of defense, if there is an attack on which direction the enemy will attack from, if there is a sniper, in which direction, do a good job of responding to the attack.
Hands-on, that's what they're good at.
It's good to do your job.
Before coming, Wang Zhen was in the car, Wang Zhen was looking at Faisal's information, and wanted to squeeze ...... from the customer To serve customers well, of course, you must understand.
Faisal, Sunni, pro-American, Forward, but the last one is not accurate.
The post-war Iraqi system was formulated by the United Nations, or the United States, for Iraq, and the security was based on the Western system, with the separation of powers, so as to achieve mutual checks and balances, and not let one side grow too strong and not lose the tail.
Of course, Wang Zhen is not optimistic, as a Chinese, he has seen many large Western companies after entering China to show arrogance and unadaptability, the West is difficult to gain a foothold in China, so Wang Zhen feels that this set will definitely not be easy to use in the Arab world, otherwise Iraq will not be chaotic all the time.
At present, there are more than 6 political parties in Iraq, and the data in Wang Zhen's hand shows that there are more than 200 large and small parties!
The largest have six, three Shiite, three Sunni.
Two of the Sunnis are Kurdish forces, and the other is the Kadima Party, and in fact, there are more than 80 small parties within the Kadima Party, and Faisal is favored by the Americans because of the idea of the small party he formed, the global village, which is secular.
Emphasis is placed on the pursuit of development through peace and on exchanges with other races and cultures.
Secularization and peace are especially liked by Americans, so there is a level 3 evaluation and the mission of the Scythe Squad.
The information provided by Daryl about Faisal is not detailed, and what Wang Zhen needs now is to talk to Faisal, combine the information, and evaluate the value.
Wang Zhen felt that there should be no difference between the food delivery in the past, and the same chat, so that the guests could order more meals in the future......
"Mr. Faisal, can I call you that?"
"Of course, sit here, Mr. Wang, you're Asian, right?" The guest sat down, and Faisal smiled and asked, "RB people?" Korean? Chinese people? β
"Huaxia people." Wang Zhen smiled and nodded.
"Oh, I like the Chinese people, the things in China are very cheap, a lot of the things I have here are imported from China, there are a lot of Chinese people in Iraq, and it is reassuring to do business with them." Faisal said with a smile.
In fact, in a foreign country, no matter whether your nationality is British or American written on your passport, others will not think that you are an American or a British when they see you, and they will still treat you as a Chinese.
No matter how much you emphasize it, no matter how many generations of immigrants you are, whether you hate your country or not, you can't change this fact.
