Canglong was wondering. Mr. Liang explained in charge: "The straight-line distance between our work area and the US military base is less than eight kilometers. Militants often fire rocket launchers at the US military base, so our work in the middle of the night will arouse alert. Generally, we only need to explain it. It's not a big problem. But sometimes Americans will deliberately seek trouble. They will bring people to search our work area, saying that they are harboring terrorists. So our work is often forced to stop. This is why we are in the current position. The project has just been drilled. So in order to cause such unnecessary trouble, most of the time we can only choose to extend the working hours during the day. This way the Americans will have no excuse to come over. But..."
Tang Long looked angry. "These Americans are too overbearing."
"Haha." Mr. Liang said in charge but smiled helplessly. "It's good that the Americans don't do anything to us. Sometimes they even arrest people directly. But the ones they arrest are all local Iraqis."
"Then the security forces here won't help? And why should we let them arrest people? This is not the United States." Tang Long asked childishly.
"It's precisely because this is not the United States that they are so unscrupulous." Canglong replied calmly for Mr. Liang. "Extending working hours during the day will cause a lot of heatstroke and sunburn, right?"
Mr. Liang nodded in charge: "I have mentioned this to the superiors many times, but in the end all to no avail. Oil workers are human beings too. Although we pay them high wages, their bodies are broken. What's the use of asking for money. "
Canglong nodded and said nothing. He just looked at the US military in the distance who was preparing to conduct a search. There was a cold light in his eyes.
This inspection by the US military came very strangely. But most people kept calm and seemed to be accustomed to the inspection by the US military. As for the Iraqi military and police stationed here, after the Americans arrived, they immediately turned their guns around. It was originally a precaution. The terrorists attacked them and pointed their guns at Chinese workers and local people.
Tang Long looked indignant. He was full of disdain for these military and police officers who were following the trend. As for Cang Long and Mr. Liang, he was not surprised at all. Because almost all the military and police officers in the new government were trained by Americans. Naturally, they should wear the same pants as Americans. .
The commander of the U.S. military asked the drilling to stop and everyone came down for inspection. After hearing this, Yang Gong looked angry and walked down from the height while cursing. He ran over to negotiate with the Americans. But it was obvious that the Americans did not care that he was The Chinese don't care what is being done here. All they want is inspection, which will delay the drilling schedule.
Yang Gong angrily ordered all work to be stopped. Apparently the negotiations failed. All the local workers, including Iraqi workers, gathered in an empty space in the square. It was like inspecting prisoners in a concentration camp.
Canglong went far away. The Snow Leopards and the others had already occupied the highest point. The weapons in their hands were already aimed at the commander of the US military. Seeing this, Canglong picked up the radio headset and said quickly: "Are you crazy? There are no Apaches here. Above, the US military base is eight kilometers away. If they die here, there is no excuse to move this place to the ground."
Xiami and Hei Wuchang put away their sniper rifles. Snow Leopard ordered everyone to stand by. Then Hei Wuchang replied: "Head, I have a stinger in my hand. I can knock down the Apache."
Canglong was speechless for a while. Now is not the time to conflict with the Americans. Even if they are not afraid of the Americans, what about the Chinese workers here? Once a conflict occurs, it will inevitably affect Chiyu.
"Where did you get the poisonous sting?" Canglong asked curiously.
"When the Iraqi provided us with weapons, I got a few shoulder-mounted ones by the way. They have been kept in the car and are of no use." Hei Wuchang replied calmly. He was talking about Badr.
"Boss, you just need to give the order. This is not a problem for the US military." Shen Wansan also spoke. "How about I get them a few booby traps on their way back. This Russian-made anti-helicopter mine is It’s made of steel.”
Canglong was a little speechless. But as a commander, he couldn't let his subordinates act impulsively: "Evacuate the oil area. Go outside and wait for orders."
Then several sighs came from the radio. Mr. Liang also looked into the distance, but found nothing. However, he did not ask Cang Long when he arrived. He just said: "I'll go down and explain to the Americans. I'll have to do it again tonight." Work has stopped."
Canglong nodded. When Mr. Liang took charge, Canglong felt a little disappointed in his figure. Although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he had to endure it.
Tang Long, who was on the side, asked: "Teacher, why don't we drive away the Americans? This is so annoying."
"It's not the time yet." Canglong replied calmly.
However, the American inspection this time was obviously not like before. After checking the passports of the Chinese workers, dozens of American soldiers began to check the local people's ID cards. Of course, they could not find any flaws. Long Teng International is a formal enterprise. Naturally, it will not hire local people with unknown origins to work.
After checking these things, Mr. Liang thought they would leave. But he didn't expect that the commander with the rank of lieutenant actually asked to search all the buildings. At that time, Mr. Yang was a little angry and said: "You are not the Iraqi police. Why are you searching our home?"
But the commander of the US military just replied calmly: "We received a tip-off that you are harboring terrorists here. We must search."
"I strongly protest against your behavior. We will definitely notify the Chinese Embassy." Yang Gong said angrily. It was like a powder keg about to ignite. The Chinese workers also stood up and got excited. Fortunately, Mr. Liang was responsible for controlling the situation. They all calmed down.
"You can protest. But searching for terrorists is our mission here. It is also for your safety." The commander said with a smile.
Then, with the cooperation of the Iraqi military and police, they began to search the houses in the oil area. However, the Americans could not find the location of the Snow Leopards. So the Americans still found nothing. Going far away, Canglong noticed that the commander had a look on his face. Disappointed and about to leave, an Iraqi military policeman stationed suddenly ran up to him and said something. He pointed in Canglong's direction.
The expressions of Mr. Liang and Gong Yang changed at that time. The commander came this way and ordered two American soldiers to walk towards the oil well.
As soon as he saw two American soldiers with live ammunition approaching, Tang Long's anger disappeared. He swallowed and said nervously: "What should I do, Teacher Cang?"
Cang Long didn't answer. Two American troops came up and pointed their guns at Cang Long vigilantly, telling him to get down immediately. Of course, Tang Long was no exception. Snow Leopard's voice came over the radio: "No action."
"I'm talking about leaving the oil area." Canglong said lightly, and then walked down.
"You are the president of Longteng International." the lieutenant asked.
Canglong nodded: "You are here just to catch me."
"No. We are not here to arrest you. We are here to invite you. Colonel Mike from the base wants you to come and sit with us." The lieutenant said calmly.
Several American troops pointed their guns at him, obviously threatening him. They probably wanted to go if they wanted to, but they had to go if they didn't.
"You have no right to arrest our president." Yang Gong was like a ignited powder keg. Only then did the Chinese workers around him realize that this young man was actually the new president of Longteng International. For some reason, they suddenly became angry.
"I'm here to invite him, not to arrest him," the lieutenant said calmly. But the US military had opened the safety guard and was ready to deal with their resistance at any time.
Just when the atmosphere got a little out of hand, Canglong raised his hand and said calmly: "I can go with you."
Manager Liang's face suddenly changed: "Once we get to the Americans, there is nothing we can do. Now we are delaying. I have already sent someone to notify the embassy."
"It's okay." Canglong said calmly. "After I leave, you take everyone and evacuate here immediately. Go to Zubair's branch to meet. Don't worry about my safety. The Americans will not do anything to me."
Mr. Liang was in charge but couldn't defeat Cang Long. But Yang Gong didn't expect Cang Long to be so calm. But he was captured by the Americans. It was rare to see someone come back. But facing the American guns and cannons, they had nothing to do.
"Please." The lieutenant smiled and pointed to a Humvee military vehicle.
Canglong walked up to Mr. Liang and said, "Remember what I said."
As the Americans left in a hurry, Yang Gong and Mr. Liang looked at each other. They hurried back to the office. Now the only way to solve the problem is to notify the embassy. Maybe the Americans really don't dare to do anything to Canglong. But they will definitely suffer some punishment. .Although Yang Gong doesn’t like Canglong, he is the president of Longteng International after all.
After the Americans left, everything in the oil area returned to order. However, the drilling work had to be stopped. Manager Liang met with Vivian. He was about to explain something to the deputy director. Vivian asked in advance Said: "What did the president just tell you?"
Mr. Liang was stunned for a moment. Then he thought about it: "He asked us all to evacuate. What's the use of our evacuation? Now we need to notify the embassy and tell them the seriousness of the matter here."
"No need." Vivian objected. "Do you really think your president is just a dandy in his twenties?"
"What exactly are you going to do? Tell me now." Yang Gong has a hot temper and doesn't want to show off.
"Big trouble is going to happen here soon. The Americans are coming to cause trouble again and again. It's useless even if you dig out the oil. So evacuation is the best way. It's not too late to drill for oil when the situation stabilizes," Vivian said.
Then she ignored the two of them. Instead, she picked up the radio headset and walked outside: "Snow Leopard, where are you."
"It's hanging behind the Americans. Don't worry. We will save our heads." Snow Leopard replied.
In the car, the snow leopard switched the channel, picked up the radio headset and said, "Is the weasel in place?"
"Already in place. Ready to blast at any time." Shen Wansan's voice came from the radio.
"Bai Wuchang, Xiami, are you in place?" Snow Leopard asked again.
"We have arrived at the mission location. We can snipe at any time." Xiami's gloomy voice came.
"Old Hei, wait for the explosion. If the Apache hasn't been shot down yet, you are responsible for killing it. Xiami is responsible for covering the sniper so that they have no chance to fire. The sea lion is ready. The lone wolf may be injured. Be ready to rescue at any time. The Bobcats are responsible for cutting off their radio signals and striving to resolve the battle within three minutes. The US military will respond within five minutes and arrive in less than seven minutes. We strive to resolve the battle quickly. Do you understand?" Snow Leopard asked.
"Yes." A corresponding voice came from the radio. Then the communication was completely shut down. Tang Long, who was sitting aside, looked at the snow leopard stupidly and asked, "What do I do?"
Snow Leopard was startled: "You are just sitting there and acting. This is much more exciting than a Hollywood blockbuster."
