() It was neither accidental nor deliberate that Petraeus rushed to Baini Sad. Although he had opened a network in Baini Sad, there was no need to sit here personally. After all, compared to the Green Zone, Said, it's not very safe here yet.
However, after receiving Kerry's special plane and sending him to the Green Zone, Petraeus immediately received the news that there was movement in Baini Sad, but it was not the movement he planned. Petraeus got The news was about terrorist organizations. It was said that Sunni Baath Party death squads and some Islamic extremist groups were launching an attack on Bainisaad. At that time, Petraeus's first reaction was surprise.
But after being reminded by the chief of staff, he felt that this was a prelude to an imminent attack by the Chinese.
I have to say that the Chinese have found good pawns, but Petraeus believes that the large network he has set here will not cause much harm to many terrorist organizations. He needs to make the Chinese anxious, in order to attract Attention of the Chinese, he even took the risk and came over personally.
With such a big shot like him, the Chinese would definitely take risks, but when he waited until the next day, except for the harassment of some suicide bombers from terrorist organizations, there was nothing else that attracted his attention. It was just like the usual city. There was some harassment going on.
At that time, he was thinking, are the Chinese really not preparing to attack here, or have they already taken Aimaiti back to China, but he quickly rejected this idea. Aimaiti's emphasis on his family has already differed from theirs. The Americans are willing to fight for it, so even if the Chinese forcefully take Aimaiti back to China, there will be no further transactions.
But even he couldn't understand the current situation, but when the chief of staff anxiously brought a piece of information and handed it to him, he understood: "The ambassador is missing in the Green Zone."
"Missing." At that time, Petraeus thought the chief of staff was joking, but seeing the solemn look on his face, Petraeus believed it even if he didn't believe it, and then he read the intelligence.
Kerry stayed in the room all night chatting with the female reporter. According to the bodyguard responsible for his security, he heard his **, but Kerry did not come out the next day, and neither did the female reporter, and they discovered Something was wrong, I walked into the room and found no one inside at all.
The deputy commander immediately ordered the Green Zone to be on alert and only allowed to enter but not leave. However, no trace of Kerry was found. Both he and the female reporter disappeared.
But soon, the security forces in Baghdad found the female reporter Michelle in a residence, but found that she was tied up in the residence. When they found her, they looked terrified.
After carefully comparing the surveillance video, they found that the female reporter was indeed different from the girl in red yesterday. Although she looked similar, she was completely different in many aspects. So the entire Baghdad began to impose martial law, but after several hours of searching , and there has been no whereabouts.
Until the deputy commander received a letter. The content of the letter was very simple. They had Kerry in their hands. If they wanted Kerry, they would exchange Amat's family for it.
Seeing this, Petraeus finally realized that he was stupid. He had foolishly guarded most of the elites here, but the Chinese did not fall into his trap and made a big change under his nose. A living trick.
"Damn it, if I catch this Chinese, I have to skin him." Petraeus was very angry, but he had no choice. "Have the Chinese contacted us? Where is the location of the transaction?"
"Not yet, but you shouldn't stay here, it's very unsafe." The chief of staff suggested. Apparently, Kerry's disappearance finally made them no longer dare to look down on the Chinese.
Petraeus followed the advice of the chief of staff and handed over all the defense here to the person in charge of Blackwater in Iraq, and quickly rushed to the Green Zone. If the Chinese caught Kerry, they should now discuss how to deal with it. As for Kerry's safety, Petraeus is not worried. After all, he is the new ambassador to the United States, and the Chinese will not do such irrational things.
However, if Kerry continuously fails to attend various meetings, it will attract the attention of the media. Although they have announced that Kerry is not accustomed to the climate in Iraq and it may take a few days before he can officially deliver his inauguration speech, they all know that this will not last long.
In the Green Zone office, Petraeus looked very unhappy. He was hesitating whether to report the matter to the Defense Intelligence Agency, but in the end he decided not to report it because it would only make the superiors think he was incompetent. Except, there is no benefit whatsoever.
Petraeus ordered all intelligence personnel to attack, and asked Blackwater's mercenaries to cooperate with the Iraqi security forces to clear out guerrilla and rebel strongholds. After all, Chinese faces are easily identifiable in the Middle East. Petraeus Us is still holding on to some luck.
However, in the eyes of the outside world, this kind of action seems to be one of the three priorities of the new official after Kerry takes office. The first priority is to deter the resistance forces in Iraq.
But the fire that Petraeus lit had no effect, but he finally found out how the Chinese abducted Kerry from under his nose.
The Rashid Hotel has a tunnel leading outside Baghdad. Such tunnels extend in all directions underground in Baghdad. There were many in the past, and most of them were built before the US military invaded Baghdad. Saddam planned to use these tunnels to completely bury the US military.
But this is no longer the period of World War II. Although the US military has encountered many obstacles, most of the tunnels have been buried. This secret tunnel in the Rashid Hotel has been buried long ago, but it was recently used by the Iraqi Ministry of Interior. , As for what it was used for, Petraeus knew very well, but he never knew that secret passages were used to conduct such transactions.
But now is not the time to investigate the responsibility. When all parties failed to find the whereabouts of the Chinese, Petraeus finally gave up and reported the matter.
At this time in the Department of Defense building in Washington, when Natasha received Petraeus' report, her face suddenly darkened. In the end, she only gave Petraeus one order: "No matter what method you use, he You must die, otherwise you will be waiting to retire."
After receiving such an order, Petraeus's face changed immediately. He was only forty years old and already a major general. If he made some achievements, he could become a general. Before that, he had not I know that my political future is closely related to this task.
So, he called all the leaders over and held a meeting, and finally unanimously decided to trade with the Chinese. After the transaction, it would not be too late to deal with these Chinese. After all, Iraq is still in their hands, but now the initiative is completely in their hands. , but they still dispersed all the intelligence personnel, and at the same time, Bainisaad also began to withdraw its defenses.
But on the night when most of the defenders withdrew, Petraeus finally received news from the Chinese. To his surprise, the place where the Chinese requested the transaction was the last place he expected, Baini Sad.
At that time, Petraeus almost overturned the table. Most of Bainisad's troops had already withdrawn. Before that, he had ordered all troops to be dispersed to various cities near Baghdad to prevent the Chinese from proposing a deal. Sometimes, the troop mobilization may not be smooth.
The only thing he didn't expect was that the Chinese would ask to trade directly at the original place, and the trading time was one hour later. If they didn't take Aimaiti's family to Baini Sad after an hour, then they would take Kerry Handed over to members of the jihadi group.
Petraeus did not dare to think about what the jihadist organization would do to him if it captured Kerry, but what he knew was that if the jihadist organization captured Kerry, it would be tantamount to the jihadist organization slapping the United States in front of the whole world. By then his political career may be over.
An hour later, Petraeus sent someone to send Aimaiti's family to Baini Sad. He sat in the Green Zone and began to dispatch troops, asking other troops to rush to Baini Sad as soon as possible.
The burden of this transaction fell on Leto, the head of Blackwater in Iraq. This former US Navy SEAL helped the US military obtain a lot of important intelligence during the ten years the US military occupied Iraq, and Blackwater's employees are directly involved in many operations that the military cannot directly conduct.
Together with Alexander, the leader of the Hellfire mercenary group, they are known as the twin stars of Iraq.
Among the many mercenary groups in Iraq, they are the two most favored by the US military. Hellfire is known for its elite. In addition, the members of the US headquarters only have less than a hundred members, but they are truly the first mercenary group because of their execution. Missions rarely fail.
Although Alexander did not arrive at Bani Sad, his most elite Hellfires in Iraq did come, and they were all under his command. Leto really wanted to see what this Chinese was who was playing tricks on them. Look.
Sitting in the cafe, Leto was very confident in his defense. Due to the withdrawal of large forces, he could only use more than a thousand people now.
And 90% of the more than a thousand people were Iraqi security forces, so he tried his best to gather the 100 people he trusted most in this street. As long as the Chinese dared to come in, once Kerry was rescued, those security forces would People will appear, and when the Chinese evacuate, they will be attacked from two sides.
Of course, Leto also believed that he could deal with the Chinese on this street without the help of security forces and rescue Ambassador Kerry intact.
Soon, there was news from the security forces that two off-road vehicles appeared on the road and were speeding towards this direction. Leto did not let the security forces stop them, but let them in. At that time, he had an idea in his heart, these Chinese The man was so bold that he dared to walk in so arrogantly. It seemed that he was not as difficult to deal with as the legend said.
But when Soryu walked into the cafe with members of Team B, Leto looked at Soryu and his expression changed: "It's you, Lone Wolf."
"Long time no see, Colonel Leto." Canglong sat down opposite him calmly, while the members of Team B quickly stood up at a favorable position.
"It turns out that this is all your fault. It seems that you are the important target mentioned above." Leto smiled helplessly.
Facing Canglong, he felt overwhelmed. Although he had arranged everything, Leto felt terrified when he thought about the time Canglong had served in his Blackwater Company.
When Canglong left the Black Water, Leto thought that he would never meet a warrior with more brains and strength than Canglong. However, he never expected that when he saw Canglong again after being apart for so long, Leto would find that he had already reached his own. the opposite of
