Pashtuns are the main Muslim ethnic group in southeastern Afghanistan and western Pakistan. They account for about 42% of the total population of Afghanistan. They are the main ethnic group in Afghanistan and are commonly known as ‘Afghans’!
At the same time, the Pashtuns are descendants of the Pathans and one of the most martial and warlike ethnic groups in the world.
The Pashtuns living in the mountains are backward and isolated.
When Pashtuns are faced with the choice of starvation, they will not hesitate to go down to the mountains to rob the wealthy families in the plains, or the merchants from Central Asia to India, in order to feed their families. The Pashtuns do not take the attacks seriously
It is a crime. On the contrary, they believe that the more violent the attack, the braver the man.
Therefore, in the Pashtun tribe, almost everyone carries a gun. This has also created the existence of the world-famous black market for firearms in Peshawar.
Over the past half century, from the Soviet invasion to the arrival of the Americans, endless wars have intensified the turmoil in the southeastern region of Afghanistan. In order to protect themselves, more and more light weapons and portable missiles have flowed into this region, which has also made the place
It has become the best hiding place for international terrorists!
The Americans were also a little worried about this place. In addition to bombing, they did not send more ground troops!
Therefore, these Pashtun tribe gathering places in the mountains of Afghanistan can be called barbaric areas in a civilized society!
Because the street was narrow and there were many pedestrians around, Liu Dong's car drove very slowly, and it took him nearly ten minutes to reach the city center!
Looking up, a beautiful mosque appeared!
Similar to Burmese Buddhism, the devout faith makes the mosque the most gorgeous building in the city. And because of its proximity to India, influenced by it, this mosque in Kamdesh is full of Indian architectural style!
Surrounded by four columnar spiers, with a white wall and a circular dome in the middle, it is somewhat similar in style to the famous Taj Mahal, but of course it is much less luxurious and magnificent!
Looking at the mosque bathed in the sun and exuding holy brilliance, Liu Dong suddenly thought of Zhou Dunyi's "The Theory of Love and Lotus", which says, "It comes out of the mud but is not stained, and when it washes away the pure ripples it is not demonic"!
Comparing the surrounding dirty and khaki buildings with the poor and emaciated people. In addition, the regional situation in Afghanistan has been extremely chaotic. This mosque, which is completely white and represents the best vision in the heart of the people, is not stained by the silt.
Lotus'?
With some emotion, under the guidance of the soldier on the co-pilot, Liu Dong's car came to a stop in front of a decent three-story building near the city center.
After a few brief glances, Liu Dong understood that this was a hotel for outsiders like them!
"Please come with me!"
After nodding, Liu Dong followed the other person and walked in.
After entering the door, the space inside is much larger than Liu Dong imagined, with a length and width of no less than 50 meters. It is a three-story cloister-style building with an open patio in the middle!
Standing in the patio, you can see people of all kinds, black, yellow, white, people from various countries and regions can be seen everywhere, leaning on the railing in twos and threes, laughing and chatting. It can be seen from their fierce temperament. Most of these people have experienced
Elite mercenaries of war!
When Liu Dong looked at them, these people also saw Liu Dong walking in behind the Taliban soldiers.
From their words, these people were obviously deeply surprised that Liu Dong came here alone!
After entering, the soldiers took Liu Dong to the management office of the hotel.
After simply exchanging a few words with one of the middle-aged Afghans wearing a robe and carrying a pistol across his waist, the soldier leading the way left alone!
After the middle-aged Afghan looked Liu Dong up and down, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Kamil Murat, welcome to Kamdesh! I will be responsible for receiving you this time!"
"Thank you!" Liu Dong responded.
"My name is Amiri. If Mr. Kamil needs any help during our stay, you can come to me at any time! Of course, when we live here, we also ask Mr. Kamil to respect our living habits and regulations, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Please don’t go out to the streets casually. If you must go, please inform us and we will send someone to serve as Mr. Kamil’s guide to take you around...!"
"I understand!" Liu Dong, who was slightly surprised, but felt it was reasonable, nodded clearly.
As a secret military base of the Taliban armed forces, it obviously does not want to be exposed to outsiders, especially when the Americans are attacking Afghanistan with the intention of destroying the Taliban's al-Qaeda organization and then quickly!
"Well, please come with me, Mr. Camille. Your room is on the third floor!"
After explaining some accommodation precautions to Liu Dong, Amiri took him to the third floor.
During the process of going upstairs, Taliban soldiers holding guns and wearing robes standing guard could be seen almost everywhere in the hotel, which also attracted some of Liu Dong's attention!
Such strict protective measures also allowed Liu Dong to understand that Mr. ** was vigilant and valued this place!
Seeing Amiri leading Liu Dong upstairs alone, the people around who had come earlier to participate in the auction, or drug buyers and sellers, all gave Liu Dong inquiring looks.
Liu Dong didn't pay attention to the comments of these people. He took the curiosity and even the malicious looks projected onto him calmly. The threat these people posed to him was almost negligible! There was no need to take it to heart at all.
Instead of worrying about them, it is better to think about how to break through the heavy protection here and kill Mulati, the guy who made him miss repeatedly!
"This is it!"
After arriving on the third floor, Amiri opened room number 306.
Liu Dong, who followed the other party and walked in, found that this room with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, full of halal style, was not bad. Although it was only fifty or sixty square meters, the area was not large, and there were not many electrical appliances.
It was kept very clean and to his liking!
"Mr. Camille, here is the key to the room for you!"
After taking the key handed over by the other party, Liu Dong said: "What if I want to eat? Do you provide it? Or should I buy it on the street myself?"
"There is a menu on the table. If Mr. Kamil wants to eat something, you can call us and we will deliver the prepared meals to your room!"
After taking a look at the menu and the phone on the table, Liu Dong continued: "How to calculate the cost?"
"Total food and accommodation, the price is 20,000 US dollars per day. I also ask Mr. Kamil to go to the first floor to pay the three days' expenses after cleaning up!"
Looking at this polite Afghan, Liu Dong couldn't help but frown.
Twenty thousand dollars?
The presidential suite in a five-star hotel is not that expensive!
Although with Liu Dong's net worth, 20,000 US dollars is not even a drop in the bucket, but paying this kind of money always makes people feel uncomfortable.
But there’s nothing you can do about it if you don’t feel comfortable. ‘How can a person not bow his head under the eaves’!
"I know, I'll pay you later!"
Hearing this, the smile on Amiri's face immediately became a little brighter, "Then you rest first, I won't disturb you anymore!"
Looking at Amiri who was about to leave, Liu Dong quickly said: "Wait!"
"What other orders do you have?"
"I want to know when the auction will start?" Liu Dong said.
Amiri smiled inexplicably and said: "Because there are still many invited people who have not arrived, the auction is scheduled for two days later!"
"Two days!"
After thinking for a while, Liu Dong nodded, "I understand!"
After hearing this and nodding to him, Amiri opened the door and left!
After closing the door, Liu Dong walked around the room, removed all the cameras installed in hidden places, and observed the surrounding environment before sitting down on the sofa next to him and thinking about what to do next.
And just when Liu Dong began to think about how to act next, in a secret room located 100 meters underground at the military base on the outskirts of Kamdesh, Mula, who was being chased by Liu Dong hard, traveled thousands of miles from Hotan to come here.
Ti, kneeling on the ground with a look of panic and fear!
At this moment, the domineering power he had when he was still in Hotan, as the aloof ‘Jade Prince’, commanding one side was completely gone!
Even when he saw the thin and tall figure sitting in the center of the secret room from the corner of his eye, there was an obvious look of awe on his face.
"Is that Liu Dong as powerful as you say? Or is it a lie you made up to shirk responsibility?"
The man wearing a white turban raised his head, accompanied by a calm and hoarse magnetic voice, revealing a slightly thin face, but with thick curly beards on his lower jaw and cheeks, and narrow eyes.
Extra sharp yellow face!
With just a look, Mulati, who was kneeling on the ground, felt the strong pressure coming from the other party!
Compared to the domineering power he accumulated by just controlling a city in the underground world, the man in front of him not only controlled a country, but his ambition encompassed the entire Arab world! Whether it was status, courage, or even ability, the gap between the two
It’s so big! It’s incomparable!
"I would never dare to lie in front of the leader! If I hadn't been forced into desperation, why would I have given up my inheritance in Hotan and fled to you shamelessly?" Mulati said quickly.
He knew how ruthless the person in front of him was, so he never dared to hide anything.
After staring at him for a while, he slowly said: "What happened to the 'China Camp' training base stationed in Sanglic? Why are you the only one who has escaped now? The other soldiers
