Food, yours.
That is even worse than an Oriental person.
The terrorist with a veil on his face and an AK47 hung on his chest placed a plate of turbid soup and a piece of black bread on the table in the room.
He glanced at the white man who was squatting in the corner of the wall mockingly, turned around and closed the door fiercely.
After seeing the man leave with his own light, Roberts moved faintly, then quickly moved to the table and grabbed the bread as hard as a stone.
His golden curly hair was already a little oily, and his face almost turned weak and waxy, but his eyes were still very clear.
Even though he was in front of him, he didn't show any frustration, and he was holding bread that was almost impossible to chew.
He chewed it very finely, even if the things in his hands were as hard as pig food.
But he also knew very well that only in this way could he maximize energy and preserve his physical strength so that he could seize the opportunity to escape when the opportunity came.
Roberts' expression on his face was very relaxed. Even though the unlucky reporter who was squatting next to him yesterday came a pig-like howl, he did not show any fear.
Without thinking, that person was definitely a horror movie where he was dragged to take a throat cut.
After all, most governments will never compromise with terrorist organizations and pay ransom for hostages.
Maybe he will see the unlucky guy again on Facebook in two days, in the video situation... if he could go back online alive.
This is not the first time Roberts has faced such a danger. He was kidnapped by guerrillas in Kuwait before and was almost wiped out his neck.
Fortunately, after getting the money, Hei Shui International did something and cooperated with the US Marine Corps to rescue him at the critical moment.
But now this matter is a bit uneasy. Although he is a US citizen and what he did in the past few years is in national interests, his smuggling of crude oil from Iran in the past two years has been targeted by the FBI.
It is said that special agents are collecting evidence in this regard, but obviously there is no tension.
It is very likely that the informant's sudden betrayal this time was a trick of the FBI to kill people with a knife, so how could the US military send someone to save him?
Patton was very timid, afraid that the FBI would hit him a few times, and the guy would join a witness protection plan and sell it directly.
Roberts was not too angry about this, and he had seen many betrayals.
If he fell here this time, then even if Bud was lucky, if he returned to Los Angeles alive... Humph.
Roberts showed a fierce smile on his face.
Of course, these are all talks about now, after all, the probability of his survival is really slim.
Although Nick is trustworthy, he is also a good warrior.
But no matter how he said that, he was just a person, and it was still a bit unrealistic to deal with a group of fully armed terrorists.
What's more, it's hostage rescue, and it's necessary to make a quick battle.
Shaking his head with a self-deprecating shaking, Roberts nibbled off the last bit of bread and lay back on the bed.
His intuition told him that he would be fine this time.His intuition saved his life more than once, so he believed in his intuition and did not give up the hope of survival...
……
After getting off the plane, Jiang Chen stepped on the ground of Baghdad International Airport.
This religious city is not exactly in dire straits as described in the news broadcast, at least near the airport.
The scars left by the war on this exotic city have gradually been repaired by time, and foreign tourists coming and going to the airport seem to confirm this.
Of course, he also knew that such prosperity had limitations.
IS has occupied half of northern Iraq. Even though the sky above Baghdad is still clear, I am afraid that the colors of gunpowder will be filled with smoke again in no time.
Jiang Chen, wearing sunglasses, stood at the airport gate for a while, then took out his mobile phone and checked the Google Map, and soon found the location where Nick agreed to meet with him.
Just as he was about to stop a taxi, a car without a license plate stopped in front of him.
Sir, do you need taxi service?
It's actually Chinese?Although not smooth.
Indeed, you know Chinese?Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, hesitated for a moment and then opened the car door.
Because I often look for work near your oil wells, such as picking up and dropping off employees of PetroChina.Over time, I learned Chinese.The young man smiled, showed his white teeth, and then started the car skillfully. My name is Aza, where are you?
Jiang Chen, go to this location on the map.Jiang Chen directly pointed the location on the mobile phone map to Aza.
OK
Looking at the changing street scenes on both sides, Jiang Chen chatted casually with this taxi driver who seemed to be about the same age as him.I heard a lot of interesting things.
Sir If you are traveling, I recommend that several cities in the south have fun.Never go north, Hadisa Town has almost fallen, and it may not take long to even Baghdad to be safe.
oh?It seems that you know a lot about this.How long have you been in this business?Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
It's almost six years since I was discharged from the army. I almost started working in the taxi industry and worked as a tour guide for a while.Isa said with a grin.
Have you been a soldier?I don't feel like you are older than me.Jiang Chen asked in confusion.
I joined the army at the age of 12. In your words, it should be called the Iraq War.Aza shrugged indifferently and said, a farce that even the enemy could not see was over soon.I just felt like I was shot by Saddam and rushed to the front line to surrender.
He was secretly amazed at the experience of this young man, but he did not continue on this topic.
The car quickly drove to the destination, and Jiang Chen generously handed the $10 to his hands.Looking at the direction where the car left, Jiang Chen stretched and began to look for Nick's trace.
Here.At this moment, the foreigner drinking coffee under the shed next to him suddenly waved to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen sat directly opposite Nick.Before he could sit firmly, Nick spoke in a hurry.
Are you the only one?
That's right.Jiang Chen picked up the empty cup beside him and filled himself with a cup.
It's very bitter, it seems to be the purer Turkish coffee.
Jiang Chen took a sip and put it down, but at this time he noticed the slightly disappointed expression on Nick's face.
oh?You seem to be disappointed?Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.
You should be very good at it, but it will be difficult if you only have the two of us.Nick whispered.
I am not just my strength, you will know then.Jiang Chen shrugged, where is your weapon?
In the car, do you need me to prepare a handful of you?Nick saw Jiang Chen empty-handed, so he asked.
No, my weapon is ready.I believe you already have clues about your boss, so let's rescue him now.Haha, he still owes me a business and hasn't done it.Jiang Chen smiled, his tone very relaxed, as if he didn't take those terrorists seriously at all.
Jiang Chen's underestimation of the enemy made Nick frown slightly, but there is no better way at the moment, and it will be dangerous to drag it for another day.
As a soldier's intuition tells him that this person is not bad, but he can't figure out exactly what he wants.
Let's talk about the specific situation in the car, Roberts's situation is not good.If you read the news yesterday, you will find that IS has executed an American journalist. If you still don’t get the ransom before tomorrow, IS may tear up the ticket.Nick lit a cigarette, then handed Jiang Chen one, and took Jiang Chen to his car.
Can't your boss afford that little ransom?Jiang Chen held the cigarette in his mouth and took out the lighter to light it.
IS is asking the US government.Nick said lightly.
The meaning of it is self-evident.
The car started, Nick drove the steering wheel and drove out of the city.
Along the way, we passed two security forces checkpoints, but they were also symbolic checks and released after finding that there were no bombs.
The rifle hidden under the cushion by Nick also passed security checks successfully twice.
On the way, Nick explained to Jiang Chen what a difficult trouble they encountered this time.
About 5 days ago, Roberts came to Iraq at the invitation of his old friend Patton.
A munition order worth 20 million US dollars, the buyer was a Kurdish armed officer who fought against IS on the front line.
It has become a practice in this desert to place an order with an American middleman and get additional arms supplies.
Although Roberts felt something was wrong, he was not too suspicious.
After all, this is a 20 million US dollar order, and he can earn more than one million US dollars with just a transfer.
This old guy Patton is really fun!
Yes, that's great...
Finally, the goods were brought to the front line of the government forces fighting with IS, but unexpectedly, what was waiting for was a group of extremist armed forces shouting Anla Huba Aka.
Nick is indeed able to fight, and with a M27, he killed at least nine fearless bandits, but this is useless.
In order to intercept this batch of arms, the IS, which obtained secret intelligence, sent at least one infantry company to combat power, and was equipped with vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns, RPGs and other firepower.
He beat him up in a minute and almost told him that.
The arms fell into IS's hands and Roberts was captured.Nick fought his way out and finally escaped to a safe area.
Of course, this doesn't mean he's leaving his boss behind and Roberts saves his life.But he knew that only by escaping first could he rescue the boss.
He has been wandering in HardySay Town, and he has a feeling that the IS organization has not taken Roberts to the rear.
Sure enough, the next day he suddenly received a strange call.
On the other side of the phone, I claimed that I had picked up a ten-dollar bill, which said, "Call this phone and tell him where the bill was picked up, and you will get a reward of $100."
Nick's first reaction may be a trap, but this is his only clue.
After meeting the Arab man, Nick paid him $100 and followed him to the area where he picked up the bill.
Fortunately, this is not a trap.
Roberts is worthy of being an old fox. He has always had a ten-dollar bill hidden on the sole of his shoes. He believes that the first US Treasury Secretary can bring him wealth.
At the same time, he can save his life at critical moments.
Apparently, Hamilton saved his life.
Why don’t you contact the embassy? Are your American soldiers not experts in saving hostages?Jiang Chen smiled with a relaxed expression.
It was originally the FBI's trick, and those idiots couldn't find any evidence, so they simply wanted to do it and get rid of Roberts' trouble.Nick was holding a cigarette in his mouth. At this time, he had already put on sunglasses. Jiang Chen couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.
oh?I thought Roberts represented the interests of your government.Jiang Chen shrugged.
On Iraq, it is, in Ukraine, but not on the Iran issue.Nick summarized this problem simply, turning the steering wheel and driving the car out of the road.
It can be seen that Roberts trusted his bodyguard very much and even told him these inconvenient things.
Speaking of which, Jiang Chen seemed to remember Roberts told him before that he had done oil smuggling.I guess I was exposed and was targeted by the FBI.
Don't take the road anymore?
There is a checkpoint set up by IS in front, and we can't get through.And, it's almost here.Roberts calmly drove the car into the alley and turned off the engine.
Jiang Chen pushed open the car door and got out of the car, then looked around.
It seemed like a slum, and occasionally one or two children poked their skinny faces out of the window to look at the two foreigners curiously.
But soon a big hand would stick out, pull the active children back, and then close the window tightly.
It seems that these civilians are quite sensitive to war.Jiang Chen smiled and said, throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand.
They experienced war from the moment they opened their eyes.Nick took out a travel bag from under the cushion and carried it on his shoulder.
When he saw Jiang Chen's calm look, he frowned, "Is it okay for you to do this?"
No problem, trust me.Jiang Chen sighed.
In Iraq, Chinese Kung Fu has no use.
In the eyes of you foreigners, do we Chinese have all kung fu?Jiang Chen laughed and said.
Do you still have to show off your skills?
Jiang Chen reached behind his right hand and activated the storage space. In Nick's eyes, he looked like a trembling sound, and a pistol appeared in Jiang Chen's hand.
Nick was secretly frightened. Even the veteran, he, didn't even notice where Jiang Chen hid the gun.
Moreover, no matter how you look at this gun, he has no impression of it.
What is this gun?
Type 11 tactical pistol, customized in private, no need to worry about it.Jiang Chen inserted his pistol into his purse and shrugged.
After seeing this scene, Nick nodded and said nothing more to his ability.
In this way, Jiang Chen followed Nick and walked towards the building where Roberts was imprisoned.
That is even worse than an Oriental person.
The terrorist with a veil on his face and an AK47 hung on his chest placed a plate of turbid soup and a piece of black bread on the table in the room.
He glanced at the white man who was squatting in the corner of the wall mockingly, turned around and closed the door fiercely.

His golden curly hair was already a little oily, and his face almost turned weak and waxy, but his eyes were still very clear.
Even though he was in front of him, he didn't show any frustration, and he was holding bread that was almost impossible to chew.
He chewed it very finely, even if the things in his hands were as hard as pig food.
But he also knew very well that only in this way could he maximize energy and preserve his physical strength so that he could seize the opportunity to escape when the opportunity came.

Roberts was not too angry about this, and he had seen many betrayals.
If he fell here this time, then even if Bud was lucky, if he returned to Los Angeles alive... Humph.
Roberts showed a fierce smile on his face.
Of course, these are all talks about now, after all, the probability of his survival is really slim.
Although Nick is trustworthy, he is also a good warrior.
But no matter how he said that, he was just a person, and it was still a bit unrealistic to deal with a group of fully armed terrorists.
