Chapter 1252 Guardian of the Bay (Third update, please subscribe)
A car came out from behind the vast sand dunes. As the car drove, it raised billowing yellow dust.
Although it is a desert, the driver is obviously familiar with the terrain in this area. He drove skillfully through the sand dunes. After walking through the sand dunes, he drove into a Gobi desert. At this time, he faced the passenger The driver said:
"Tell the people behind you that they will be crossing the border soon! Let them be careful. If there is a patrol, let them get off the car and go south. The rest depends on You’re lucky!”
When the co-pilot shouted into the hood behind the car, the men, women, and children in the hood were all nervously getting out of the car.
"Don't worry, we have been here all this way, and everything will go smoothly next..."
The man comforted his wife, and when he looked in another direction, there was no trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
A few years ago, he, like others, opposed the king's rule, believing that the king was the spokesperson of Western countries. He believed that only by overthrowing the Shah's rule could Iraq be reborn.
Later the king was overthrown and even killed.
But what about Iraq?
After overthrowing the king's rule, Qasim, the leader of Iraq, continued to clean up those who held objections. Some people were secretly arrested and then disappeared, disappearing from the world. Some were shot on the streets, and some Property was confiscated, and it seemed that enemies were everywhere in the country overnight, and Iraq was fighting those "enemies."
Originally he thought that after the king was overthrown, Iraq would move towards a new life. Yes, Iraq is now moving towards a new life - in the three years after the king was overthrown, millions of Iraqis fled the country. For Iraq, which has a population of only 7 million, such population loss is extremely serious. After all, most of the people fleeing Iraq are young adults, and the vast majority are educated.
Now, it's finally his turn. After sensing the danger, in order to protect himself and his family, he finally escaped from Baghdad and fled abroad.
While the car was driving among the sand dunes, a camel team in the distance had already stared at them. The Bedouin riding on the camel and wrapped in a white robe looked at the truck and took the lead. The man signaled, and they immediately rushed towards the truck, shouting.
“There are robbers!”
"Hurry, drive faster..."
The driver was about to speed up when gunshots came from the other side. It was the Bedouins. They rushed over on camels, intercepting and shooting at the other side. Shooting at the truck.
“There is gunshot!”
When the gunshot came, Lin Xuebin, who had the same turban on his head, quickly stood up from the off-road vehicle, and then looked at the gunshot with a binoculars coming direction.
“Boss, could it be the Iraqi army intercepting the refugees?”
As soon as Wang Kun, who was driving the car, finished speaking, Lin Xuebin pointed to the direction where the gunfire came from and said:
"Let's go over and have a look."
In the Warrior SUV, the gun was fired at When the sound came from the direction of driving, Lin Xuebin was sitting in the passenger seat. He squinted and looked up at the sky. The scorching sun was still hanging high in the southwest sky!
Licking his chapped lips and listening to the gunshots in the distance, Lin Xuebin subconsciously reached out and touched his rifle. Soon, he saw those people - a group of Bedouins riding camels. , are surrounding a truck, no need to guess, they all know what they are doing. The passengers in the car were all driven out. They were kneeling on the ground, praying for something.
“It’s a robber!”
Without any hesitation, Lin Xuebin said:
"Get rid of them!"
As soon as the words were finished, the machine gunner in the back seat controlled the machine gun on the gun rack and fired at them. The Bedouin men were firing at them, and the sudden rain of bullets shocked the Bedouin men.
"It's the Black Knight..."
As soon as they reacted, they all rode their camels and fled into the distance. In this unclaimed land, the Black Knight had long been His reputation was so great that he became synonymous with death.
But the bullets chased them as if they had eyes, but they still managed to escape after leaving more than a dozen corpses behind.
The driver who luckily escaped and the passengers who were kicked out of the car looked at the car approaching from a distance with different expressions. The man among the passengers breathed a sigh of relief. Said:
"It's the black knight of the oil company, we are safe now!"
This area belongs to the Hassa Emirate in name, but in fact it belongs to the oil company, and the oil company controls it. Everything here, even the Hassa Emirate, only restored its rule on this land with the help of oil companies.
The Black Knight is the security guard of the oil company, the kind of mercenary who owns tanks and airplanes. They not only protect the company, but also maintain law and order in the area.
It is precisely because of this that it is called the "Guardian of the Bay" by many people. Soon, Lin Xuebin and the others drove up to these people. Looking at the surviving passengers and the bodies on the ground, he asked:
"Which of you can speak English?"
The reason why I ask this is because Lin Xuebin does not speak Arabic, and in Iraq, most educated people can speak English. After all, it was a British mandate.
The man quickly stretched out his hand and said:
"Sir, I can speak English."
Looking at the man in front of him, Lin Xuebin said:
"Okay, now you are safe. After you leave here, there will be a refugee camp. You You can live there first.”
The refugee camp is used to house refugees like them who escaped from Iraq. However, the refugee camp is not managed by the United Nations or other organizations, but by the Kingdom of Iraq!
Four years ago, when the military coup occurred in Iraq, Prime Minister Nouri Said successfully escaped from Baghdad and then contacted Princess Adis in Southeast Asia. Because the royal family was massacred, Adi Princess Shia's son, Shia, became the king of Iraq.
Although they were only exiles, they were recognized by many countries, including Nanyang. Later, they set up refugee camps in Jordan, the Najd region and the Hassa Emirate. While accepting refugees, they also re-established the kingdom's army.
Although the number of the Kingdom's troops is small, for Abdul Karim Qasim in Baghdad, the existence of the Kingdom is a thorn in his side.
“It is precisely because of the existence of the kingdom that Qasim is frantically searching for so-called enemies!”
In an office in the refugee camp, the man looked at the officer in front of him, He confessed all the information he had.
"...According to his orders, in addition to secretly arresting and then disposing of them in the desert, in order to make people feel fear, people from the Intelligence Agency will also assassinate people in public on the streets..."
Listening to the intelligence revealed by the intelligence colonel in front of him, Jabbar did not speak. They already had this information. It was precisely because of Qasim's massacre that millions of Iraqis fled.
"So what is the situation in Baghdad now?"
"Everyone hates Qasim..."
Hussein thought for a while and said:
“Many people miss the king’s rule, Major, many people, I am in charge of this investigation, I know very well that now it is not just Baghdad, including the Kurds in the north, the Shiites in Basra, everyone I miss the king. In the king's era, maybe he was closer to the West, but at least everyone was safe and equal, and would not be suppressed due to tribes and other reasons, but it was different in Qasim's era. It’s the Shiites and the Kurds, who are subject to all kinds of suppression..."
This is Iraq now. When Hussein said these words, his tone was full of helplessness. At one time, they were inspired by the Egyptian Free Officers who overthrew the Egyptian monarchy and launched a military coup. They originally thought that can get rid of Western control of Iraq.
But what next?
The development of the situation far exceeded their expectations. Not only did Iraq not become the rich and powerful they had hoped for, it even fell into endless turmoil. In order to consolidate its rule, Qasim's implementation of terror and high pressure provoked His dissatisfaction made him intensify his efforts to kill more people.
Among those people were not only those loyal to the king, but also their allies, and even former comrades-in-arms, Hussein was one of them.
“Now you don’t know who he will kill tomorrow, but after I found out that I lost his trust, I knew that if I didn’t escape, then I would definitely be killed by him, including my family , everyone in Baghdad is in danger now.”
Turning his gaze to the major in front of him, Hussein said:
"Major, please tell your superiors that Baghdad is looking forward to the return of the king. Everyone is looking forward to the return of the king!"
Okay!
When he said these words, Hussein's heart was full of bitterness. So many people had died, they had gone in such a long circle, and finally came back.
"I will tell all this to my superiors, but Lieutenant Colonel Hussein, you should know that many people want to kill you. After all, your hands are stained with the blood of many people!"
Jabbar looked at the other person and said:
"So, I think I need a reason...a reason for you to live!"
Facing Jabbar's question, Hussein thought for a moment , and then said:
"I also brought other information, I think that information should be able to exchange for my life! Moreover, I am willing to cooperate with you. In the future, when you return to Baghdad, You definitely need some collaborators."
Hussein stared at the other party and said in an extremely confident tone:
"Those collaborators are not only in the army, but also in the intelligence agencies. You need this help. The king needs all of this!"
"Are you so sure that we will return to Baghdad?"< br>
Jabbar asked rhetorically.
“Of course, the king will definitely return to his Baghdad. We all know that you are just waiting for the opportunity. I can tell you clearly that the time is now ripe and Baghdad is looking forward to the return of the king. ! ”
