When Stark's escape plan was about to be completed, Kai also arrived at a US military base near Kabul. It was this US military base that was responsible for receiving Stark, and the US military headquarters in Afghanistan was also located in this military base.
Of course, Kai didn't just come here with two shoulders and one head. He also had the identity of a congressional investigator on his head. This identity was obtained by Pepper relying on his connections. How should we describe the power of this investigator?
It can be said to be very big, and it can take care of everything. It can be said to be very small, after all, the identity of an investigator cannot scare those US military commanders who are far away from home.
In the US military base, a black major named Rod received Kay. In Rod's office, Kay made his request to him.
"I need all the information you investigated after Tony disappeared, whether it is useful or not."
Major Rhodes didn't like Kai's attitude very much. "I don't think it's necessary. We will rescue Tony."
"If you are really as powerful as you say, I wouldn't be here. Right? Let me solve this problem quickly and let everyone relax, okay?" Kai actually understands this sentiment.
, it’s like, you investigated a case and you firmly believe that you can find out the truth, but then the superiors suddenly ask you to hand over the case, of course you will be unhappy. But Kai Zhen doesn’t have time to argue with a soldier, he is very busy.
Rhodes's face darkened... Well, he is a black man, a very pure kind. It's hard to tell whether he is black or not.
"You don't think that you can solve the problem that thousands of us soldiers can't solve by yourself, do you?"
"Why not? Isn't this the reason why I came here? Soldiers, let professional people do the professional things. You should deal with those suicide bombs. You can't do this kind of technical work."
Kai had performed missions in Afghanistan and stayed there for a while.
So he knows very well what kind of behavior these American soldiers are in Afghanistan.
War-torn Afghanistan is a lawless place. In such a place where order is broken, you can't expect these American soldiers to have strong discipline. Kay even discovered that the US military and the enemy were engaged in opium trade. In short, Kay was right
I don’t like these American troops stationed in Afghanistan.
And Kai's attitude was very keenly noticed by Rhodes.
He had a sullen face and said very unhappily: "Please pay attention to your words. Your words are very unfair to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country! They are also very disrespectful!"
"Tsk... Rhodes... Major. I served as a soldier, so you'd better not say this kind of diplomatic rhetoric in front of me. You and I both know very well the difference between fighting for the country and massacring civilians!" Actually, Kai
I don’t have any special feelings about the United States attacking Afghanistan. After all, Afghanistan does support terrorist activities, and there is nothing wrong with the war. But what really makes people uncomfortable is what the U.S. military did after it invaded Baghdad.
But it is actually a predatory exploitation of the occupied people.
After the United States invaded Afghanistan, 90% of Afghanistan's private enterprises disappeared. This is why Afghanistan's share of global opium production soared from 19% in 1986 to 90% now. The warlords are divided and the people are in dire straits.
Does the United States really care about this country?
No! The United States spends tens of billions of dollars in Afghanistan every year. According to a survey report released by the U.S. non-governmental organization "National Priorities Project", the United States spends about 4 million U.S. dollars on military operations in Afghanistan every hour. But
Has any of this money been spent on improving people's livelihood in Afghanistan?
No!
On the contrary, American companies have entered this country in large numbers and controlled more than 80% of this country's national production resources! They are destroying this country's bones and sucking its marrow!
In short, no matter how high-minded the reasons for the United States' attack on Afghanistan were in the first place, they basically changed in the end, and it definitely cannot be called justice.
Major Rhodes's face turned dark.
There is really no way to say this. The U.S. government has spent hundreds of billions of dollars in Afghanistan. Is it really for justice and justice? Don’t be ridiculous! If there is no benefit, the gang of lords on Capitol Hill will let the U.S. soldiers do it.
Withdrawal. A military-industrial complex alone cannot really control U.S. military operations. That is to say, now, Afghanistan has really become a quagmire, and the efforts and gains are not proportional. That is why the government plans to withdraw its troops. Otherwise, President Benjamin will no longer have peace.
It's no use being an ideologue.
Back to business.
Even a pure soldier like Rhodes couldn't refute Kai's words because what he said was correct.
"Besides...there are so many of you and Stark has been kidnapped...so what's the problem with me coming?"
Rhodes was unhappy with these remarks, but... he was still speechless.
As a responsible officer and Stark's friend, he still applied for access to Kai's information, but found that most of Kai's information had been sealed and could not be accessed under his authority. This strange phenomenon made Luo
De gained a little confidence. After all, Pepper endorsed him on this matter.
"You get what you want." Rhodes turned and left.
But Kai immediately stopped him.
"Give me a car, fill it with gas, and preferably prepare some spare gas and food for me. I will leave soon."
"No problem, the supplies you need can be prepared today. You can take a day off and set off tomorrow morning. I have detailed satellite images here. I think this may be of some help to you." Major Rhodes looked at Kai and thought.
After a while, he still reminded me out of his own responsibility, "Do you need some weapons? You know, this is not a safe place."
Kai shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I brought my own weapons. You just need to provide me with what I just said. I will set off overnight to wipe the butts of you soldiers."
Rhodes waved his hand angrily and said to a soldier in the office: "Help this gentleman find a car and prepare things according to his requirements."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kai didn't care about Rhodes' displeasure. Instead, he patiently looked through the information provided by the US military.
In fact, the information is very scarce, because the US military has not yet determined who kidnapped Stark. However, Kai did not count on them. What he needed was a map of the distribution of forces in Afghanistan.
While the war caused suffering to this country, it also created a large number of warlords!
For now, Afghanistan has a situation of one superpower and multiple powers. The Taliban is far ahead and is the undisputed leader, but it is also divided into many factions. Afghanistan is a multi-ethnic country, mainly including Pashtuns, Tajiks, and Kazakhs.
The Zara people, Uzbeks, etc. have extremely tough folk customs. Afghanistan does not have a unified tradition. The tribes fight independently, so the central government cannot order all tribes. The chiefs of the tribes still have supreme authority over their tribes. Even if the capital falls,
Armed forces from various places will still continue to resist. Although the ethnic groups are not united, they are surprisingly united as long as there is an invasion by foreign enemies.
These things are what Kai really cares about. He needs to know who his enemy is.
…
The Gobi mountainous area in Afghanistan is very huge, and it is absolutely impossible for one person to search such a large area. But Kai also has his own method.
Remember that smart watch Tony gave Kai?
That watch was originally connected to Tony's smart butler system 'Jarvis'. After giving it to Kai, although the link with Jarvis was cut off, because the artificial intelligence 'Friday' of the watch was Jarvis
One of the subsystems still has the authority to contact Jarvis.
Kai relied on this authority to directly link to Jarvis. Originally, Kai hoped to let Kingsman's people directly hack into Jarvis's system through this link, thereby obtaining Tony's location.
As a high-tech controller, Tony has many smart devices on his body. Ordinary people also have mobile phones and other things. Jarvis, the butler, can locate and network these smart devices.
In the end, Kingsman was embarrassed. They couldn't do anything about an artificial intelligence, and they almost suffered a loss as they were tracked by Jarvis. In the end, it was Merlin who was able to resist Jarvis' tracking.
But because of this incident, Kingsman's senior executives felt very embarrassed.
It was so easy that Kai asked them to do something, but they failed. So Kingsman decided to support and allocate funds in this area, and strive to win next time... not to say win, but at least not lose.
In the end, Kay contacted Jarvis directly and made a request to Jarvis.
Artificial intelligence is artificial intelligence. After understanding Kai's needs, it did not refuse, but actively helped Kai lock the locations of those smart devices.
However, Jarvis could only determine the approximate location because the smart devices were destroyed not long after the attack.
But this is enough.
At night, Kai drove the car behind a hill and planned to camp here. This was also the place where the only equipment was finally destroyed.
While driving through a market this afternoon, Kai bought some things needed for the evening ceremony.
After dinner, Kai sat on the roof of the car to rest. Although this country is suffering from unparalleled disasters, the people on this land are still living strong. It must be said that Afghans are really tough enough.
Afghanistan is really a magical country. In the history of ancient and modern wars, Afghanistan has been habitually called the "graveyard of empires", "the sad place of a powerful country" and "the meat grinder of a great power". It has experienced almost all the great powers in human history.
The invasion, but ultimately failed to succeed, instead brought down the other side! Out of the strategic need of competing with Tsarist Russia for control of Central Asia, the British colonists invaded Afghanistan in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
In three large-scale battles, the Afghans used backward weapons to defeat the British Empire, which was at its peak. They declared independence in 1921 and got rid of British control. In September 1979, Afghanistan's Amin launched a coup.
The Soviet Union, at the peak of its history, immediately sent troops to Afghanistan. As a result, the Soviet Union paid a heavy price. In 1989, the Soviet Union could not bear it anymore. Two years later, the Soviet Union disintegrated, which became one of the reasons for the final disintegration of the Soviet Union.
This trend is also happening in the United States now.
Kai sometimes wonders, what is it that supports the people of this land, which has been impoverished since ancient times, to constantly resist aggression?
Looking at the clear starry sky despite the flames of war, Kai cleared his mind and relaxed for a while.
Around eleven to twelve o'clock.
Kai finally got down to business.
He used a wooden stick to draw a huge magic circle on the Gobi Desert, and then took out the cow blood and sheep blood he bought at the market today. The blood has been processed and has not coagulated. Blood is used in many civilizations.
They have a very special status, and the same goes for cattle and sheep. Many ancient civilizations believed that cattle and sheep were necessary sacrifices to communicate with the gods. For example, the ancient three animals, also known as Tailao, were cattle, sheep, and goats when ancient emperors sacrificed to the country.
The three animals of pig (shi, pig) are all called "Tailao".
Some civilizations even believe that cows are messengers of gods, such as India, and ancient Chinese legends that cows can see ghosts and gods.
Therefore, their blood has always been a necessity for many magic rituals. Of course, humans, as the spirits of all things, are more effective, but as a policeman, Kai still instinctively refuses to use that thing.
Kai poured the blood of cows and sheep into the drawn magic circle.
Then, place copper basins in each corner of the magic circle, and then light some spices.
Finally, Kai walked into the magic circle, opened the King's Treasure House, and took out a big black metal book from inside!
This is the Book of the Dead, a treasure that Kai snatched from the ancient Egyptian priest Immorton in Egypt during the First World War. It was once an artifact of the ancient Egyptian gods. This book records countless incantations and secrets used to drive away darkness.
and the power of death.
It's a pity that putting it in Kai's hands is a secret. First of all, Kai trusts simpler and more crude powers than complex and mysterious spells, such as the combat spells he learned from Asgard. They are simple and clear, just do it. Then
For example, regarding his own body, Kai came from a martial arts background and has always been relatively confident in his own skills.
What's more, after waking up again, Kai's power declined significantly and he was unable to use the spells in the Book of the Dead.
However, after so many years of "brushing" experience, Kai can now use this artifact. He didn't use it before, and it was mostly out of habit.
Kai recited the incantations on the surface of the Book of the Dead, and the Book of the Dead floated gently from his hand. Then Kai waved his hand, and after a sound of mechanical rotation, the thick, dark, and cold Book of the Dead itself
Open and start turning pages.
Soon the book page automatically turned to the page Kai needed.
Kai recited the incantation on the page and took out a bag.
That bag contained ashes.
This was also bought from the local market and came from corpses in some ancient tombs.
Since the Taliban took the lead in destroying the Bamiyan Buddhas, Afghanistan has always had a rough attitude towards cultural relics, and any cultural relics that do not comply with Taoist teachings will be destroyed. This has led to the rampant reselling of cultural relics in Afghanistan.
These corpses were dug out of Buddhist tombs and were hundreds or thousands of years old. However, in the market, these corpses were not much more expensive than beef and mutton.
After Kai bought it, he ground it into powder.
Sin, sin.
After reciting the incantation, Kai grabbed a handful of ashes and blew them out.
The ashes floated gently, and then began to fly into the magic circle under the influence of a mysterious force.
Then a strong wind blew.
Countless sand and gravel were blown up by the strong wind and mixed with the ashes.
Less than a minute.
A pair of tattered mummy warriors appeared in the magic circle.
They lined up neatly in the magic circle, holding their hands on their chests.
"Go find Tony Stark!"
boom!
All the mummy warriors uniformly lowered their hands, knelt down and saluted Kai, and then the wind and sand blew in all directions.
Kai continued to stay in the center of the circle, waiting silently.
