() After roughly figuring out the whole story, Canglong was about to go to Iraq, but Li Ruomo stopped him and said: "It has been fifteen hours now. Even if we go through special channels, can we really save them if we rush to Iraq? Even if we send troops to Iraq xi zang’s waiting team A is already too late.レ♠思♥路客レ”
"You mean to let them fend for themselves." Canglong's tone suddenly turned cold.
"You clearly know that's not what I meant." Li Ruomo's tone became tougher, "This is not a question of whether to save or not, but a question of whether it can be saved or not. Running into it even though you know it is an American trap is not a matter of courage. , but stupidity.”
"We have wasted too much time. I don't want to waste words with you and have this meaningless argument. However, I have to make it clear to you today. I formed Team B and I have the responsibility to keep them alive. ." Cang Long said simply and firmly, "Even if I can only get their bodies back, at least there will be people to hold funerals for them. This is my promise to them, and the sacrifice you understand is just a pile of rubbish in my eyes. shit."
"Is it worth it?" Li Ruomo asked.
"It's worth it." Canglong nodded firmly, "Besides, I believe they won't ask for help easily. Judging from the time Xiami has spent in the Chinese team, he should be very aware of your rules of conduct."
"Yes, they won't get much positive rescue abroad. They have to rely on themselves for everything. We are not the US military. We can appear anywhere in the world at will. This will cause too much trouble." Li Ruomo advised, "So , I hope you stay, if you really believe in Team B, because I don’t want to hear about your death.”
Hearing this, Cang Long's heart moved, but his face remained emotionless: "It's precisely because I believe in them and they also believe in me that they asked you for help, but in fact they asked me for help. Maybe this is just a test. The members of Team B put us to the test. Maybe they really encountered trouble that they couldn't solve. I guess it's the former, but I believe in the latter, so no matter what, this is their trust in me. I also promised them that I will never Will sacrifice them."
"This is not a matter of sacrifice or not." Li Ruomo became anxious.
But Canglong shook his head and said: "If you don't use channels, I will find a way on my own. Anyway, I am not within the establishment of the 15th Bureau, so I won't cause you any trouble."
After saying that, Cang Long turned around and walked out of the office. Li Ruomo gritted his teeth and suddenly said: "Stop."
Cang Long was stationary at the door, as if waiting for her to say something. After a while, Li Ruomo softened his tone and said, "Since you are going, you must take someone with you."
"Who?" Cang Long asked without looking back.
"I have an intelligence agent in Iran. She is very familiar with the situation in Iraq. I hope she can help you. This is the only thing I can do within my authority. The General Staff cannot let me act without authorization. Even I will be censored without approval. ." Li Ruomo's face showed helplessness.
"Compared to how tough you were just now, I like you better now." Canglong smiled. He wanted to refuse, but said, "I will take the fastest flight to Iran. I hope she can catch it."
After saying that, Cang Long left, but Li Ruomo's face turned red inexplicably, and he stared blankly at the empty door. Li Ruomo said to himself: "Who doesn't like to be kind, but you always have to compete with me? "
Iraq.
People's impression of this country is generally that of chaos and hunger, because it is in this state most of the time. This is not only due to the famous US-Iraq war, but also because after the US-Iraq war, Iraq was deeply involved in suicide. Of course, this is a scene seen in the news, and the news often focuses on special cases and attracts attention.
This is just like people watching gossip news. People don't care whether this matter is true or not. What they care about is often this unfounded matter and whether it can become a topic of conversation after dinner. The purpose is very clear.
For many people, this may be a competition between the United States and Iraq, a war, but for a real soldier, this is not a war. No one would compare the world's most powerful country and a developing country. The competition is regarded as a war. Only stupid military commentators will regard it as a war. If it is accurately defined, it should be a one-sided massacre.
Since the new president of the United States took office, he has been eager to withdraw from Iraq. The U.S. military stationed in Iraq has been involved in various scandals. The most critical point is that the U.S. military has not found anything related to nuclear weapons in Iraq. Of course, Americans have always been shameless. thick.
The former president just stationed troops in this country under the guise of liberating the Iraqi people, but what they encountered was an unprecedented guerrilla war. During the invasion, they suffered almost zero casualties, but after the war, During the garrison period, there were heavy casualties.
It’s not that Iraqis hate Americans. In fact, they don’t hate Americans because it was not Iraqis who attacked the U.S. military, but terrorist organizations from other Middle Eastern countries.
When the US military entered Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, the Iraqis did not panic much, but they were not happy either. The only thought left to them was to wait and pray that they could still see the sun tomorrow.
On the second day after the U.S. military occupied the Iraqi capital, there was a strange phenomenon. Iraqi office workers drove past the Palace of the Republic, where the former office was, without even looking at it, looking calm and relaxed.
But this is how Iraqis learned to protect themselves during Saddam's rule: in order to save your life, never show that you are paying attention to what he or his family is doing, let alone make comments. Therefore, in Saddam, On the first day when Dam's era ended, the wisest choice was still to ignore everything he saw.
Most ordinary Iraqi citizens are waiting and watching. They do not support Saddam or the Americans.
When they lose people around them due to stray bullets of war, they will shed tears in grief, but surprisingly, no one curses the Americans or Saddam for this.
After the war, every Iraqi in Baghdad lost at least one relative in bombing or street fighting. Many bombs missed their targets but killed hundreds of civilians. Even so, the Iraqis still regarded this as a tragedy in their grief. It was fate, and they were still satisfied that the Americans finally came to save them.
They waited for the Americans to tell them what to do, but instructions never came.
On the contrary, while the Americans issued orders to disband the old forces and ban the Baath Party, they allowed looting to occur in cities, including arsenals. Most of these robberies were committed by the old ruling class. The Iraqis began to feel confused and fearful. Within a few weeks, , the "defeated" regime began to counterattack with the help of jihadist organizations, and the real war in Iraq began, and almost every Iraqi in the capital was forced to flee their homeland.
So the Iraqis finally understood that the American invasion could not liberate them, but instead broke the peace of their original lives, if Saddam's rule was also peaceful.
But compared to the current situation, they expect the Americans to evacuate here more quickly. Only when the Americans evacuate will terrorist organizations and rebels stop the suicide attacks that have become almost habitual.
This is not the result that the Iraqis want, but the result is always beyond their expectations. They have devout faith in religion, but in the end religion puts them in a terrible situation.
They hoped for the stars and the moon, and finally got their wish for the evacuation of the U.S. military. Of course, the Americans did not evacuate completely. After the new president of the United States negotiated with the new government of Iraq, an airborne division of the U.S. Army Special Forces remained in Baghdad. , of course, is only a small part of this division, only 5,000 people.
This force is the only military force left by the US military in Iraq. Its name is to assist the Iraqi government's security forces, wipe out rebels, eliminate terrorist attacks, and help the new government train troops.
The Americans fled, leaving the Iraqis with a devastated mess.
The political vacuum in Iraq has become even more chaotic, and the domestic Islamic Shiite and Sunni war has begun. Although both sides have maintained reasonable restraint and no real civil war has occurred, small frictions have continued to occur, and The remaining US military troops are staying in Baghdad, with the intention of not leaving even if they are killed, but their air force still has free patrol rights and combat rights throughout Iraq.
The people of the world have long abandoned this place called Iraq. During the war, people only care about how many American soldiers died in Iraq to achieve their own political goals.
The 4,486 lives of American soldiers are solemnly remembered, but no one knows how many Iraqis died, just because Iraq is a weak country, and even after the war, the governments of other countries seem to only remember where it was. One of the countries with the richest oil reserves in the world.
Whether it is the ended US-Iraq war or the current war between Sunnis and Shiites, the Iraqis have learned a truth: do not believe in anyone's promises. Only in this way can they survive. No one can save them, no matter it is The Americans are still a terrorist organization promoting jihad in their land, or they are other mercenaries with ulterior motives.
When Team B arrived in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, they did not see chaotic scenes. Everything here is slowly recovering. For these hard-blooded soldiers, they are very familiar with this place.
What they find unimaginable is that the Americans have been stationed in Iraq for ten years and there are few enemies that can hinder their progress. However, only a few places in the capital Baghdad have restored power supply. Half of the people are still hungry, and a small number are still able to survive. Keep it half full.
Traces of the ravages of war can be seen everywhere. Although there are security forces maintaining order, what they see in the eyes of ordinary Iraqis is not the hope of recovery, nor the fear of impending disaster, but the deep inner feelings. Numbness, numbness to everything.
The members of Team B did not lament these numbness too much, but quickly rushed to their target and made contact with the target. However, they never expected that when they thought that the mission would be successfully completed soon, they unexpectedly I don’t know that the mission has just begun
