After dinner, the Scythe team all gathered together.
"Isn't it okay to have a mission?" Golden Retriever smiled.
"Compared to tasks, I prefer the soft bodies of those women." Donkey curled his lips and said.
After glaring at Donkey, Golden Retriever was too lazy to talk to him, "Actually, it's a mission, it's not much different from a vacation. According to Cobham, it's a benefit."
"What do you mean? Does the vampire still have such good intentions?" Bayonet asked with disbelief.
"The patrol work of a section of the oil pipeline is carried out every evening to see if there are any bad places and to deter some guys who want to steal oil on the pipeline. We can arrange it at other times." Jin Mao explained: "The recent reputation of the Empire Barrier
Now that we are older, we have taken on some local missions in Iraq. This time, the other party’s mission client is willing to send a relatively high-level guy. The requirement is that they must be elite, so the mission falls on us.”
"Shouldn't the oil pipeline be under the protection of the Iraqi government, or the US military?" Wang Zhen asked doubtfully.
"Not all pipelines are legal." The golden retriever shrugged.
"Illegal pipelines, smuggling?" Wang Zhen's eyes widened, "The Iraqi government doesn't care? The US military doesn't care?"
"How do the US military control this? This is Iraq, and the US military has no law enforcement power. Did you make something wrong?" Golden Retriever looked at Wang Zhen in surprise.
Wang Zhen was stunned, raised his hand and scratched his head, "Yeah."
A preconceived idea, after breaking the inertia of thinking in his mind, Wang Zhen figured it out.
When the U.S. Secretary of State took out a test tube containing white powder at the United Nations Security Council as evidence that Iraq was developing chemical weapons of mass destruction, it resolutely launched troops to attack Iraq despite the obstruction of the United Nations.
After Sha Damu was captured and the US military took over Iraq, the United Nations seemed to have acquiesced. The US took the lead in disbanding the army and re-establishing the Iraqi government. This made many people feel that Americans have the final say in everything in Iraq.
.
The United States does intervene a lot in the affairs of the Iraqi government and has huge influence, but it is impossible to control Iraq.
There are many countries in the world who are anti-American pioneers, such as Lao Maozi.
What is the real situation in this ancient Eastern country that seems to only shout 'protest' and looks like a weakling?
It is a thorn in the flesh of the United States. It often makes Americans speechless in pain at critical moments. Since 2007, it has used its one-vote veto power six times in a row...
Even Britain and France, who seem to be wearing the same pants as the Americans, will not jump out and pull back from time to time while watching the United States expand in Iraq.
In addition, there are countries in the Middle East such as Iraq, the Shah, Qatar, and the UAE who are secretly causing trouble. After all, the United States can stop and attack Iraq at all costs. Who knows if they will go crazy and attack the Shah and the others one day? It’s a shame.
They understand.
You are number one in the world, but you are always cold at high places. People praise you openly, but secretly you have enemies all over the world.
When the Americans entered, everyone blocked them symbolically, but if they wanted to go further... that was impossible!
Everyone wants to trap the United States in the quagmire of Iraq and Afghanistan.
In Iraq, the United States can intervene openly in matters related to counter-terrorism, such as arms embargoes, economic sanctions, and some government decisions, but not in other matters.
Oil smuggling is an internal matter of Iraq. The United States can stand up and criticize, quarrel, and exert influence secretly. It doesn't matter if it participates in smuggling, but it is definitely not allowed to intervene openly and openly!
As the world's second largest oil consumer, accounting for 16.7% of global consumption, it was the rabbit of an oil-poor country that was the first to refuse.
Well, Germany and France did not agree and protested!
Benzi, Bangzi, and Jiupo didn't want to agree, but they didn't dare to say anything.
"Understood, the employer hopes to use the imperial barrier and the elite team to scare the rats in the sewers. We are just a show. Of course, we must go there if there is really something." Wang Zhen thought for a while and said.
"To be precise, it's the Imperial Barrier. The sickle isn't that famous." Golden Retriever laughed at himself.
"Okay, what's the point of talking so much?" Donkey patted the sofa, "Golden Retriever, you let the king lead you to bad things. Quick, stop using your brain. It's meaningless. It will only make God laugh!"
"Pfft, hahahaha." Everyone burst out laughing.
Golden Retriever gritted his teeth and punched the donkey several times.
"Tell me, how much will it cost? How long will it take?" Bayonet smiled and helped the donkey to rescue him.
"Two months, a commission of 200,000." Jin Mao let go of the donkey, straightened his clothes and said: "There are 20 people working with us, all at P5 and P4 levels. They are the ones who actually do the work. They have to do the work every day.
Patrol several times.”
"It's not bad. Just treat it as a holiday. I just hope the conditions at the station are better." Wang Zhen said with a smile.
"You'll know soon, we'll leave tomorrow!"
…
Diyala Province, a province north of Baghdad, adjacent to Iran, was a war zone during the Iran-Iraq war.
Bruz Town is about 10 kilometers south of the provincial capital Baquba.
One day later, the Scythe team appeared here, accompanied by three teams, 20 ordinary employees of the Imperial Barrier, and a civilian employee in charge of the handover of this mission, McCain.
At the entrance of the town, there were several cars parked on the road. This was the agreed meeting place.
The group of people parked the car, and McCain was the first to jump out of the car, followed by the heavily armed Scythe team with night vision goggles on their heads.
It's not that I'm afraid of being attacked, it's mainly that I look more elite when fully armed.
Of course, when you go out to work, you have to look better. This is a sign of respect for your customers. No one wants to see the person they hired wearing a white vest, big pants, flip-flops, and a bald man who hasn't washed his face in days.
Right, Fire Cloud Evil God!
"Hello, Mr. Seif, let me introduce to you. This is the most elite team in our Empire Barrier, the Scythe Team. This is the captain. You can call him Captain Golden Retriever." McCain walked over and followed the leader.
A man in a white robe shook hands and then introduced.
"Captain Golden Retriever, this is Seif Mishan Timimi. Mr. Seif is the de facto leader of Bruz Town, the chief of the largest tribe here, and also our client for this mission."
"Hello, Mr. Seif, I am Golden Retriever." Byrne saluted a U.S. military salute with a serious look on his face, and then stepped forward to shake hands with the other party.
The military salute was what Wang Zhen had previously asked Bourne to do. As a person who was not from the military, he knew that everyone paid special attention to and yearned for military salutes.
Sure enough, Seif was stunned when he saw the golden retriever's military salute. He was a little at a loss for a moment. This was the first time that the US military saluted him. It was not until the golden retriever came up to shake hands that Seif recovered and shook hands with the golden retriever.
Hold together.
"Captain Golden Retriever, I've heard of your name, and I'm glad to invite you." Seif smiled brightly.
After a series of nonsense words such as greetings and exchanging admirations, Wang Zhen looked forward, his eyes a little hollow and hot. He had to think of something to distract him, drying clothes, good guy, how many clothes do you have at home?
, bask in the sun every day...
While thinking about it, he smiled secretly in his heart. When he realized that someone had bumped into his shoulder, Wang Zhen realized that he was about to leave after the greetings were over...
