The Red Alert Begins in the Wasteland

On the Iraqi highway with fairly beautiful scenery along the way, two off-road vehicles and a pickup from the town of Marin drove towards the city of Baghdad.

In the second explorer off-road vehicle, Cai Ruichen sat quietly in the second row, and Natasha, dressed in an Iraqi female costume, sat quietly beside him.

Cai Ruichen has changed from a suit and wears a cool casual outfit. In such a hot Iraq, no one will go out in a suit unless it is a formal occasion.

Natasha's dress is an authentic Iraqi woman dress, one is to disguise her identity.

It is also to take care of the worldly gaze here. After all, when women go out, they can only show their eyes, especially the hair and neck, which must be covered.

Natasha is now covered in black cloth, with only one pair of eyes exposed.

On the last seat, there are two weapon boxes, one is Cai Ruichen's own, and the other is Natasha's black star that has never been taken out.

Some drowsy generals stood beside two weapons, their huge bodies almost occupying the three spacious rows of seats behind them.

In the front co-pilot, Idris was accompanying, and the convoy drove directly from Warehouse No. 1 of Future Group.

Among the three vehicles, ten armed men accompanied them for protection, and on the last pickup, machine guns could be set up at any time to serve as fire support.

The ten armed men and the two drivers on the off-road vehicle were all brought by Idris. As for the mobilization of troops, Cai Ruichen did not let them follow.

After all, when he came to Baghdad this time, he was not looking for things, but doing things.

As for the security issue, if even Natasha and the general cannot ensure their own safety, then even if all the mobilized troops are brought in, the result will be the same. After all, the combat effectiveness of mobilized troops is about the same as those of armed personnel.

Even those armed forces with rich combat experience are better than ordinary mobilized soldiers.

It's just that Idris has some criticisms about Cai Ruichen actually taking a woman on the road with him.

Especially when he saw Cai Ruichen sitting in the second row of seats with the woman, he thought that Cai Ruichen was not an Iraqi, so he closed his mouth.

Here in Iraq, men and women are generally not allowed to go to the streets together. Even if they go to the streets, they must keep a certain distance, let alone holding hands.

It is even more impossible for ordinary men to come out to do things, and it is even more impossible for women to go with them, otherwise it would be an insult in the eyes of other Iraqis.

Idris wanted to remind Cai Ruichen very much, but he didn't dare to speak too directly, so he could only remind him when he was about to do business.

The convoy was very calm along the way, but when it officially entered the city of Baghdad, it was intercepted when it was about to exit the highway.

On the side of the highway exit, two Abrams main battle tanks, two BMP armored vehicles and six Humvees were parked, and hundreds of Iraqi government soldiers set up three checkpoints at the intersection.

All vehicles going down the highway must undergo the most rigorous inspections. If they have no documents or even explosives are found, they will be arrested immediately.

As for resistance, those tanks and armored vehicles are not here to show off their muscles.

It's just that Cai Ruichen in the car, watching the American main battle tank and the Russian armored car parked together, was quite amused.

When the United States withdrew, a large number of main battle tanks and Humvees were left behind. At first, the Iraqis felt that they had picked up a lot of bargains. But it soon became clear that the maintenance cost of American equipment was too high, and the requirements for soldiers' operations were not small.

The most important thing is that they are all castrated. When the US military was in Iraq, Abrams had a zero-loss record, but in the hands of Iraq, it was destroyed by rebels and the Islamic State in less than a year. Hundreds of cars were sold.

Among them are the low combat literacy of the Iraqi Defense Forces and the almost mentally retarded use of tanks. There is also the Abrams sold to Iraq by the United States, all without any additional protective equipment.

There is another reason. If you want to use these American weapons and equipment completely and rationally, the Iraqi government forces do not have such a level at all. They also need Americans to teach them to use them, and they need Americans to maintain these equipment. The purchase of parts is super expensive .

Although Iraq is reluctant to bear these high-end weapons and equipment, it has no way to join the government on a large scale. On the contrary, Russia's weapons and equipment are cheap and easy to use and easy to operate.

First, I bought twelve second-hand Su-25 fighters, and then bought a batch of BMP armored vehicles.

This is the picture of American main battle tanks and Russian armored vehicles together, which is also a major feature of the Iraqi government.

There are not many cars entering Baghdad, but due to strict inspections, there is a long queue at the highway intersection.

Seeing that there are at least a dozen cars waiting for inspection in front of him, Cai Ruichen asked helplessly: "Is this every day?"

"Mr. Cai has never been to Baghdad. It has been like this for several years, and he has to pass through several checkpoints before officially entering Baghdad. It is estimated that after entering Baghdad, you can have dinner." Rees replied.

"Is it useful to check this way? The daily explosions in Baghdad are not still ringing." Cai Ruichen said ironically.

"It is certainly useful, and this kind of inspection is also to show the people or the international community that the Iraqi government forces are always working hard for the security situation in Baghdad, and they have not slackened through rain or rain," Idris said.

"It's ridiculous. To protect the safety of our country's capital and people, do we still need to show it to others? That is the responsibility of a soldier, not to mention a coping task." Cai Ruichen said mockingly.

"Who makes it impossible to prevent the explosion no matter how you stop it!" Idris said helplessly.

"I think it is corruption in the eyes of the Iraqi government. Maybe the explosives in the hands of those extremists were sold by the Iraqi government itself." Cai Ruichen still relentlessly sarcastically said.

These days, based on his knowledge of Iraq, he has heard a lot of scandals. Although the authenticity of the rumors has yet to be investigated, and it may be caused by anti-government people out of thin air, if the Iraqi government is really perfect, these words will not come out.

After all, flies don’t bite unsealed eggs, and it’s not because of this. When deciding to set off to Baghdad, why should he bring millions of dollars worth of dinars.

I don't know yet, in such a country, almost nothing can be done without money.

Troubled times were originally an era of cannibalism. In the context of world civilization, although some things cannot be shown on the surface, secret sordidness is not uncommon.

Hearing Cai Ruichen's irony, Idris couldn't refute it. He naturally knew the secret exchange of interests, but as an Iraqi, he certainly couldn't curse his motherland in front of a guy who was originally an outsider.

No matter how disappointing the motherland is ~www.readwn.com~ it is also his own country. As an Iraqi, he can scold his country’s government and express his dissatisfaction, but he must not express such dissatisfaction in front of others, because He still loves this country.

"In the future, these will definitely not appear again." Idris can only answer in this way, which is also a comfort to himself.

"Unless it is an efficient and united political structure, Iraq will still be like this a hundred years later."

Regarding the disappointment of the corrupt system in Iraq, Cai Ruichen said relentlessly: "To completely overthrow this government system, break all current orders, use iron-handed means to destroy the corrupt interest chains, and rebuild the country of Iraq with efficient governance methods. Only the Iraqi people can hope to live a truly peaceful life.

Once the life is better, where is the soil for those extremists? Those civilians will no longer be brainwashed by those extreme thoughts. Without the support of those desperate people, extreme organizations will not survive for a day. It is also truly possible for Iraq to achieve peace. "

Idris fell silent after hearing Cai Ruichen's words, and couldn't help thinking in his heart that some of the words his grandfather had said at the beginning seemed to be no different from those the young man just behind him said. Enable new URL
