Yellen and the two deputy directors returned to the airport halfway. After discussing with the airport's security forces, the security forces sent a helicopter to take them back to the Green Zone via a detour, and then they began to wait.
The Chinese Embassy in Iraq is also in the Green Zone, and it is right by the Tigris River, not far from the Palace of the Republic during Saddam's time. Therefore, the scenery here is excellent, and there are no traces of the war.
The Chinese embassy in Iraq is not like the American embassy. The biggest feature is that the number of people is very small.
Including the ambassador himself, there are only a few dozen staff accompanying him, excluding of course the six armed policemen responsible for security.
Yellen returned to the Green Zone by plane and entered the embassy directly. At this time, the Chinese Ambassador to Iraq Zhou Zhengzheng was waiting for Yellen. Without any polite greetings, the two entered the embassy to discuss things.
"Are you sure nothing serious will happen?" Zhou Zheng asked, "He is Mr. Lin's son. Not to mention that Mr. Lin's condition has improved now, his father, Long Yunshan, is not easy to deal with."
"Put it down, it's just to scare him." Ye Lun said with a smile, "However, you said that Director Long is difficult to deal with, but that's really not the case."
"What's wrong?" Zhou Zheng asked strangely.
"Long Yunshan is at odds with his son. I don't know the specific reason, but after this guy became the acting president, the General Intelligence Agency stopped providing us with intelligence." Ye Lun frowned, "There is no General Intelligence Agency.
With our intelligence network, it will be difficult for us to deal with the Americans in the future."
"In my opinion, Long Yunshan is actually protecting his son, making it difficult for him to move around in Iraq, so that he can go back," Zhou Zheng speculated.
"This coincides with my idea. If you can just live a comfortable life, why come to Iraq to mix things up? Aren't you making yourself uncomfortable? Moreover, this is not an ordinary enterprise, but a government enterprise, and it is related to
Politics, what does a little kid like him know about politics?" Yellen said with great disdain in her tone.
"What if he doesn't leave?" Zhou Zheng suddenly asked, "Today's young people are all full of blood. What if the Mahdi Army cannot scare him? Do you have any second-hand preparations?"
Ye Lun was stunned. He really hadn't thought about this. Because of the environment in Iraq, even a dude might not be able to stay there. Then he looked at his watch and found that half an hour had passed, but he was not in a hurry. If Canglong
When they arrive in downtown Baghdad, someone will notify them.
Zhou Zheng asked someone to make a pot of tea and chatted with Ye Lun. A few minutes later, the military attache from the embassy walked in: "They have entered the city of Baghdad and will arrive at the first checkpoint in the Green Zone in about five minutes."
"It seems that they were frightened and came to seek refuge so quickly." Ye Lun smiled and said, "Let's go, Lao Zhou, it's time for us to greet this young master."
Zhou Zheng nodded, and then arranged for the car to go directly to the checkpoint in the direction of the Green Zone Airport. When they arrived at the checkpoint, Canglong and his convoy had not arrived. After discussing with the security forces at the checkpoint, they took a seat
We arrived in the shade and waited.
As soon as they sat down, they saw the expressions of the security forces at the checkpoint changed drastically. Iraqi soldiers with machine guns were waiting seriously. Several Iraqi soldiers ran to Zhou Zheng and told them to leave quickly. Several armed police officers responsible for the ambassador's safety
With serious expressions on their faces, they looked into the distance and saw a pickup truck running towards them.
From a distance and up close, it looked like a suicide car bomb. Zhou Zheng and others were preparing to move, but at this moment, they noticed something was wrong. A black SUV appeared from behind the pickup truck, and the car's
People kept firing at the pickup truck, followed by an SUV. The roof of the truck was somehow pierced, and a machine gun was mounted, spraying fire snakes and strafing the front.
The soldiers of the security forces looked at this scene strangely, but they all saw that the pickup truck in front was definitely not a car bomb, but was running for life. The two cars behind were chasing each other. Judging from their clothes, the security forces'
The soldiers saw that the other party was from the Mahdi Army, but they didn't know who the two cars behind them were.
Soon they had a question: since the pickup truck in front was running for its life, could they be asking for help?
After thinking about it for a long time, they thought it was a funny idea. The Mahdi Army occupied Sadr City in Baghdad. Before the Americans retreated, they were very radical and arrogant. After the Americans retreated to the embassy in the Green Zone, they became even more arrogant.
Well, basically in Baghdad, no one dares to compete with them. Even the police and security forces have to walk around them when they encounter them. When did the Mahdi Army get chased?
"Could it be that the Badr Brigade came here?" Some soldiers in the security forces wondered. The only organization that can compete with the Mahdi Army in Iraq seems to be the Badr Brigade that controls the southern provinces. Although both parties are Shia
, but there are many conflicts. After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
Although they don't know the cause of the accident, they are still on tight guard. As long as they dare to break through the cordon, they must open fire. This is also for the safety of the Green Zone.
But what they didn't expect was that the pickup truck seemed to know the safety line of the safety zone. About 20 meters away, the pickup truck stopped. The driver and co-pilot came out covered in blood with a gun, then dropped it on the ground, looking at him with a look of horror.
What they were saying, they heard from the unclear words, was obviously asking for help. The security force commander at the checkpoint thought for a while and sent two people over. After all, they had already disarmed, and the ones behind
The two cars also followed. The two soldiers walking past saw from a distance that the license plate was that of a government department. They breathed a sigh of relief. After disarming, they signaled the two cars behind them to stop.
Director Ye and Ambassador Zhou Zheng also stopped moving. They looked at this scene from a distance. Ye Lun wondered: "Why does this car look so familiar?"
"The two cars behind are from the Ministry of Petroleum. They should be the cars of Petroleum Minister Amat, who has just left." At this time, the safer commander explained, "Mr. Ambassador, you'd better move, it's not safe here.
"
The commander didn't know that his words made Ye Lun and Zhou Zheng change their expressions, but neither of them prepared to move. Instead, they wanted to know what happened. After a while, two soldiers from the security force were left to guard the two.
A militant from the Mahdi Army and another walked to the back of the car.
After checking the documents, the soldier saluted respectfully, and then a few people got out of the car. Ye Lun saw that it was Aimaiti and Canglong. But he didn't expect that Canglong's eyes were not frightened, but were distracted.
Just like the first time he saw it, it was cold and emotionless.
"Ambassador, that is Mr. Lin's son, Canglong!" Ye Lun drummed in his heart.
Zhou Zheng glanced at him strangely, and then walked over with his people. The security forces hurriedly guarded him. Aimaiti saw Zhou Zheng and Ye Lun coming from a distance, and the paleness on his face disappeared and was replaced by
With a warm smile on his face: "Ambassador Zhou, Director Ye, thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work!"
"What happened?" Zhou Zheng asked knowingly.
"I was ambushed by people from the Mahdi Army on the road." Amat didn't say much, but just introduced Zhou Zheng, "Ambassador Zhou, this is the new president of Longteng International."
"Young and promising, young and promising." Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand and walked over.
I thought Cang Long would be polite, but I didn't expect that he would directly pass by Zhou Zheng and walk up to the two militants of the Mahdi Army with a cold look on his face.
Zhou Zheng looked very unhappy. After all, he was also the ambassador to Iraq, and his rank was not lower than that of you, the acting president of Longteng International. However, thinking that Canglong was young and energetic, he might have guessed something, so he took back his hand and said with a look on his face.
With a tolerant look, he was ready to walk over and strike up a conversation with Canglong.
At this moment, Canglong spoke. He looked at the two members of the Mahdi Army and asked in Arabic: "Who asked you to attack me!"
The two armed men were already ashen-faced. On the highway from the airport, dozens of them were forced to come here by Canglong and others. Although the opponent was small in number, they were not easy to deal with at all. Only dozens of them were left along the way.
For the two of them, in their eyes at this time, this group of people is simply a demonic existence.
"We... we don't know... we don't know..." the militants replied in fear, and their whole bodies began to tremble.
At this time, Zhou Zheng and the others stopped talking, but the translator on the side started to translate for Zhou Zheng. After hearing the question and understanding the meaning, Zhou Zheng and Ye Lun looked bad, but when the militants replied:
They breathed a sigh of relief after not knowing, but the looks in the eyes of Canglong and his followers told them what they knew.
After asking for a few times without any clues, Canglong came over. Vivian asked: "What should they do?"
"What do you think we should do with a worthless person?" Cang Long stretched out his hand without looking back and walked up to Zhou Zheng, "Hello, Ambassador Zhou!"
Zhou Zheng nodded, but saw Vivian walking up to the two armed men with a pistol, obviously wanting to kill them. At this time, both Ye Lun and Zhou Zheng looked bad. If the people of the Mahdi Army were killed,
If they are killed, then they have nothing to do with it, and they will definitely be the ones to take revenge.
He was about to ask Canglong to let them go. Before Canglong could speak, he walked up to Director Ye Lunye and said with a smile: "Director Ye, we have just met, right?"
"Bang bang" followed by two gunshots, and the two militants were directly killed by Vivian. At the same time, the expressions of Zhou Zheng and Ye Lun also changed.
"Yes...yes...we have already met." Ye Lun looked ugly, as if he was uncomfortable, but he forced a smile.
