() Badr quickly sent people to Zubair to take Lieutenant Thomson away. Canglong did not ask where they were taken. He only asked Badr to send him a video two hours later, and then took Lieutenant Thomson away. Hiding it, if you hide it directly in the branch building, you will definitely be searched by the Americans.
About two hours later, Badr sent a video to Canglong on time. It was a video of an interrogation with subtitles in various languages. Thomson was blindfolded and stood next to two men holding Arabian scimitars. The Arabs saw that this was a scene where terrorists were disposing of hostages.
"Follow this code and send it to Omar. He will know what to do next." Canglong gave Susu another code.
After untying it, Su Su acted quickly. Ten minutes later, the video was sent to a specific mailbox by email. Another two hours later, the interrogation video appeared on the mobile official website of a terrorist organization, and It was also sent via email to the mailboxes of major media outlets around the world.
"It's finally done, now let's see how the Americans react." Canglong looked at the video circulating on the Internet and said with a smile. This was the escape route he left.
Half an hour later, the US military arrived, and together with the local military police, they surrounded Longteng International's branch. Snow Leopard and the others also responded and stationed themselves in various parts of the branch as a precaution.
Most people in the branch had a look of fear on their faces, and the commander sent by the Americans used a loudspeaker to shout at the people inside to put down their weapons and surrender.
But Canglong ignored them and sent a person out, saying that this was a branch of Longteng International and the Americans had no right to search. Naturally, the US military would not agree, but they did not dare to take rash actions to arrest people in the oil fields. They could They use the excuse that the US military comes from there, but Longteng International's branch does not dare to mess around. This will cause diplomatic disputes between the two countries, and will also make the purpose of the US military's return to Iraq intriguing.
At the Zubair US military base, Colonel Mike looked very bad after receiving the report from his subordinates. It was already early in the morning, and the US military had been confronting the Chinese at Zubair for about two hours, although he wanted to send someone to rush in. Arresting people, but suffering from the lack of evidence, is no longer something he can handle.
So he could only order the troops to be on standby and notify the US Embassy in Baghdad.
Baghdad, when Petraeus got the news, was also shocked. They didn't expect that just inviting Canglong to the US military base would lead to such a big change. Although he also had ulterior motives, he didn't expect the Chinese to be so bold. Dare to attack the US military's Delta Force.
The most pity is that they did not get any evidence to prove that this was done by the Chinese, but in fact they knew it well.
"First surround the branch of Longteng International, and I will negotiate with the Chinese ambassador." Petraeus was full of confidence. He believed that the Chinese ambassador would definitely let the US military enter the branch of Longteng International to search. "In addition, block all news. I don’t want any media to know about this.”
After the order was issued, Petraeus went directly to the Chinese Embassy. Ten minutes later, he met Ambassador Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng, who was in his dream, was a little annoyed when he was woken up in the early morning, but he still behaved like a diplomat. Due etiquette, he has been worrying about Longteng International recently, and he still doesn't know the specific position of the new president.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not responded to the report he submitted. At that time, Zhou Zheng thought that Canglong realized the seriousness of the trouble he had caused, so he temporarily avoided the limelight. However, he did not expect that Petraeus would tell him as soon as they met. An amazing news.
"Mr. Ambassador, my troops were attacked near the Zubair Rumaila oil area. All a small group of U.S. Delta Force troops were killed, and an additional U.S. military officer was captured." After saying that, Petraeus looked at him gloomily. Zhou Zheng, the meaning behind his words is very clear.
"You suspect that we did it." Zhou Zheng looked sarcastic, "Do you think we have the ability to attack the US military in Iraq?"
"I know you don't, but another person does." Petraeus said coldly.
"Who?" Zhou Zheng looked strange. So far, he has not received any report that something happened in the Rumaila oil area.
"Cang Long, the new president of Longteng International, maybe Mr. Ambassador doesn't know that the people around him are the most elite special forces of your China's 15th Military Intelligence Bureau. It is not difficult to attack my troops, but I am very angry now. What's more, you challenged us and even killed our soldiers." Petraeus's tone was heavy, and his somewhat hoarse voice made it very uncomfortable.
"How is it possible?" Zhou Zheng didn't know about this at all. He thought for a moment, "Why didn't I receive the report from over there?"
"It's very simple. Your reports have been intercepted." As he spoke, Petraeus handed Zhou Zheng a document. Zhou Zheng took a look and found that it was indeed a report sent to the embassy by the Rumaila Oilfield. Then he He looked at Petraeus with a cold face.
"Don't get me wrong, although we have monitored some companies, we have not monitored the Chinese Embassy, and we only obtained the report after it was intercepted, so the person who intercepted the report is not us, but your own people." Peter Reus said calmly.
Zhou Zheng's face was ashen. Only the devil believed that Petraeus did not monitor the embassy, but he thought about who intercepted the report. Who else in Iraq wanted to force Canglong away more, but now the matter is so big, It had exceeded their expectations, and the US military could easily intercept their reports. Doesn't this tell him that all their activities in Iraq are under the nose of the US military.
As a diplomat and an intelligence officer at the embassy, he knew exactly what this meant, but that was not what he should be dealing with now.
"Do you think it was Soryu who attacked the US military and captured US military officers?" Petraeus said.
"Yes, now my troops have surrounded the Zubair Longteng International Branch. Because it involves diplomacy between the two countries, I came here to disturb you in the early morning. I hope you can give my people a pass and let us go in and search. Of course It is best to block the news about this matter. To use a Chinese saying, I also hope that the big issue will be reduced to a trivial matter." Petraeus said calmly, but there was a threat in his words.
Zhou Zheng was silent. At this time, he had completely lost hope in Canglong. Ye Lun was right, he was a troublemaker. Although Ye Lun was responsible for this, Canglong was simply audacious.
"I will send someone over to coordinate." Zhou Zheng agreed.
"Thank you, Ambassador Zhou, for your cooperation." Petraeus said with a smile, "Whoever you want to send there, I will personally send him there using a military plane."
Then Zhou Zheng sent someone to invite Ye Lun, and Ye Lun obviously knew that Ambassador Zhou would invite him. When he came, he had a smile on his face: "Old Zhou, don't be angry. I intercepted the news over there for everyone. Okay, let this kid continue, I don’t know what trouble will happen.”
Zhou Zheng didn't say anything and just asked Yellen to follow Petraeus to the airport and go to Zubair to handle the matter. After they left, Zhou Zheng contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through a secret message.
When Yellen arrived at Zubair, it was already past five o'clock in the morning. It was still dark at this time. In the urban area of Zubair, except for the lights on the buildings of several foreign oil companies, it was almost completely dark. Ye Lun rushed to the branch and saw that the place was surrounded like an iron barrel. A smile appeared on his face. Wang Daoming, who was in charge of Zubair, also came to meet him.
The high-power light beam illuminated the Longteng International branch building so brightly that it was even a bit dazzling. Ye Lun, led by a US diplomat, negotiated with the commander here and walked in.
"Boss, someone came in. It's the director of Longteng International and the fired deputy director." Snow Leopard was hiding in the dark, saw someone coming in, and then reported.
"Let them in." Canglong sat on the armchair in the office and said with squinted eyes. He looked at his watch. It was a few minutes before six o'clock.
When the two walked into the office, Canglong was facing the window. Ye Lun saw that Canglong had his back to him. Although he secretly scolded Canglong for not knowing etiquette, he didn't care anymore. Canglong must leave here after today.
"President Cang, I haven't seen you for a few days. I didn't expect you to come to Zubair and leave without saying goodbye in Baghdad. I really miss you." Ye Lun said calmly.
Wang Daoming on the side looked gloating. After he was fired, he had been thinking about how to deal with Cang Long. It happened that the local Shia told him a piece of news, so when Wang Daoming learned that Cang Long had gone to the oil area, he He notified the Americans. Of course he did this just to force Canglong away, but he didn't expect that Canglong would become so violent that he even dared to kill Americans and even kidnapped one.
"Thanks to you, I'm in a lot of trouble now." Canglong turned around in his chair and faced Ye Lun with a calm expression.
Ye Lun was a little strange. An ordinary person would probably wet his pants if he encountered this kind of situation. Even if he didn't wet his pants, he would still be extremely nervous, but Canglong looked calm.
"Yes, President Cang's trouble is also Longteng International's trouble." Ye Lun smiled and said, "I wonder if President Cang has made a decision."
"Oh, what decision?" Canglong asked doubtfully.
"When are you ready to leave Iraq?" Yellen said bluntly.
"Leave." Canglong seemed to have heard some joke, "Do you think your little tricks can force me to leave, or do you think that if the Americans surround me here, I should be scared to death."
Seeing Cang Long's calm face, Wang Daoming felt really disgusted and said: "President Cang, you have offended the Americans and caused hundreds of people in our oil area to be captured by the Americans. It is already very merciful to let you go now. If it weren't for your mother's relationship, I'm afraid you would have to pay for your life as an American."
"What kind of onion are you? Do you have the right to speak here?" Cang Long said coldly.
"You" Wang Dao was so famous that he was trembling all over, but could not speak.
"President Cang, I suggest you leave Iraq. We will handle everything here. You will still be your president, but don't worry about things here. After all, this is Iraq, not a place for you young people to stay." Yellen Jing warned, "If you are unwilling to leave, it will be difficult for the Americans to rush in and take away the stolen goods."
"It seems that you are confident, but" Canglong looked at his watch and found that it was exactly six o'clock. Then he opened the drawer, took out a remote control, and turned on the TV. "Since you are here, I will treat you to a good show. .”
, they naturally know that the morning news happens to be at six o'clock.
But the content reported on the TV made Ye Lun's face change. Wasn't this the attack that happened in the oil area last night? Moreover, the TV station also released a video in which two terrorists were guarding the area with Arabian scimitars. Next to a kidnapped US military officer, another person was saying something in Arabic.
Although she didn't understand, Yellen looked ugly because the terrorist leader's last words were in English, expressing his responsibility for the US military attack on Zubair.
