Don't stay
Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, can also show rare prosperity and peace amidst gun battles and explosions, and its people are warm and hospitable.
"We should taste roasted whole lamb." Sacoru nodded intoxicated. "Finding a friendly resident will definitely realize this wish. You know, the residents here will vacate the best every time guests come. The rooms are for the guests, and the best food is also used to entertain. Of course, roasting whole lamb is indispensable."
"I think it's fine." Sriel said, "Try to make it less troublesome. It's good for us to be happy at the Serena Hotel."
"Serena is the only five-star hotel here." Susanna said, "Sriel, you really know how to choose a place."
"Susanna, we are almost born to death, is there no reason to relax?" Sriel spread his hands and looked at everyone.
"Well, I don't think I can let everyone down." Susannah smiled.
Suddenly laughed and laughed.
In the evening, Srier suggested taking a walk around the street. Susanna disagreed, saying it's better not to go out. After all, there are too many unstable factors here, and it seems that Taliban and terrorists can appear at any time.
Susanna's words are particularly effective for Sacoru. He sits down and never gets up again. "It's better to be alive than anything. You don't have to go out to be happy."
Sriel curled his lips and went to the *** building to relax.
Sari and Yuejing Kayoko didn't come out in the room. Maybe they had already regretted joining this shit comprehensive emergency team. Now they only think about how to spend this difficult time, and then indulge them when they return to China.
Wankang didn't have any interest in going out and wandering around. He thought a lot about this journey, and life was so helpless in many cases. Thinking about life in Huanhong City, it seems like a dream, or in other words, it is like a dream now. Anyway, life seems to be subverted, and I can't find the past and the future. Perhaps in the next second, an accident can completely change fate.
With a "boom", the room trembled.
The first reaction is that the hotel may have been attacked.
There was another "boom", almost certain.
Near the hotel, it was attacked by multiple rockets by Taliban, two of which fell into the hotel compound. Soon, the hotel’s security system was activated, and all guests moved to underground shelters to hide.
After more than an hour passed, the guests went back to the room one after another.
"It's terrible!" Sakolu sighed, shaking his head, "I think it's better to return to the team early. Staying here is simply irresponsible to yourself."
Before the words fell, the ground moved and the mountains shook, and the strong tremor almost knocked everyone off the ground up to half a meter high. Yuejing Kayoko lay in her arms, and the whole person flew up, almost hitting the chandelier on the ceiling.
"***!" Wankang was the first to slow down, "What the hell, so fierce!"
Suicide car bomb attack.
The strong blast wave shattered almost all the windows of the Serena Hotel building, and even the car door three blocks away was opened.
A building next to the Serena Hotel was hit by a car bomb. People a few kilometers away also clearly heard the explosion, accompanied by the explosion, which was billowing thick smoke.
"Should we go down and implement rescue?" Susanna asked, "It is estimated that there are many casualties, and some of them may need help."
"What can we help?" Sriel said, "If you can't be busy, the police will send the injured to the hospital."
"Maybe there will be a second car bomb." Sacoru whispered.
Wan Kang glanced at them and walked to the window that had no glass. The street was full of smoke and dust, and a huge crater was vaguely seen at the explosion site. The police have arrived one after another, pulling up the cordon. Medical ambulances and various ambulance vehicles also arrived one after another, and the rescue of the injured was fully launched.
"Susanna, let's go down and take a look." Wan Kang said, "It should be able to help a little bit, even if it saves one more person in time."
Susanna and Wankang went down, and Sari and Yuejing Kayoko also left. Sriel and Sacru looked at each other, "We are not heroes. This is indeed not where our duty lies. It can't show our advantages. Good, it will aggravate the loss."
Wan Kang did not scold them, because there are differences in value thinking.
The smell of sulfur from the bombs in the streets spread everywhere and was very strong. Almost everyone at the scene covered their noses subconsciously.
The three-story building that was bombed was severely damaged and collapsed in a large area. The entrance to the building has been bombed by policemen wearing bulletproof vests. Several reporters tried to enter, but they were all blocked by the police.
"It's too bloody." Yuejing Kayoko supported her chest and couldn't bear to look at the dead being carried out by rescuers.
"We really can't make a difference." Wankang said to Susanna, "Let's go back honestly."
The four people went back to the room in silence, the wind blowing from the glassless windows, the air was full of the smell of death, and no one was sleepy.
"There is no comfort here anymore. I think we should start tomorrow." Susanna said, "Any comments?"
"I already said that I can't stay here for another second!" Sakolu said, "Even if I leave now!"
Early the next morning, six people dragged their tired figures away. They talked about what new tasks they might receive when they returned to the headquarters.
Susanna told them not to return to the headquarters, but to go directly to Iraq to assist the multinational force in maintaining stability.
"How long?" Sacoru's mouth opened wide.
"To be determined."
"Why isn't God bless!" Sakolu shook his head painfully, "I knew I would go to Iraq, it would be better to stay in Afghanistan for a few more days, where the explosions would be even more terrifying!"
This is really a terrible thing, but all the commands need to be executed.
For safety reasons, Wankang did not land at the Iraqi International Airport. They chose neighboring Syria, where they got off the plane and then transferred to the Iraqi peacekeeping force station by car.
"What are we doing here!" Sacolu grumbled all the way. His complaint aroused everyone's disgust, and all made him shut up. Sakolu looked at everyone with horrified eyes, and turned his head reluctantly, "Actually, the Iraqi people do not welcome us."
"Sacru, stop talking!" Susanna said, "If you feel that some of your guidelines are really violated, you can opt out now, that's not impossible!"
"Okay, that's what you said." Sacoru jumped out of the car, "I wish you good luck!"
In a war-torn country, there is almost no good luck.
At the beginning of stepping into Iraqi territory, the atmosphere was depressing and it made people breathless. This cradle of ancient civilization is firmly trapped by the horrible atmosphere of war.
Choose the shortest distance and go straight to the capital Baghdad, the center of the war, which makes your back chills. Fortunately, it was accompanied by vehicles that approached it, and it ran all the way with it.
Coincident with the sandstorm, Baghdad was submerged in the sand and ash of the loess.
On the streets, Iraqi special forces patrolled by explosion-proof military vehicles. They were fully armed. In addition to their weapons, body armor, helmets, and windshields were also indispensable.
Many vehicles in the patrol convoy are American-made Hummers, and there are even anti-mine ambush vehicles. Recently, Baghdad has been hit by multiple bomb attacks, causing heavy casualties, and daily patrols have to be strengthened. The Iraqi military and police seem to be everywhere. They are armed with live ammunition and roam the streets.
"People govern the country, and Iraq really does not need foreign troops." Sriel said, "Susana, will it get more and more chaotic like us?"
"I haven't considered this issue." Susanna said, "Speaking of selfishness, as soon as I step into this country, I always worry about my safety."
Susanna's words were meant to reconcile the atmosphere, but she didn't expect things to go against her wish. Who said it was not? The gunshots in your ears and the tension in front of you, who can calm down
Passing a commercial area, a double cordon was set up in front of a bank, a large number of policemen hovered nearby, and the military even hacked the roads leading to the bank.
The military vehicle leading the way stopped, and the people on it were interested in the incident.
This was a major bank robbery. Twelve bank guards were found dead in a dark room. They had no ability to fight back before they were killed. They were all tied up and shot in the temples.
Ten billion Iraqi dinars were robbed. Some officials from the military, police, and banks formed a temporary special investigation committee, believing that this was the work of the militants of the Communist Party of China, who were seeking funds for the activities. Other officials believe that this is a crime committed by terrorist groups. Many groups have lost support from foreign funds and have to look at the country as a last resort.
This is indeed useful information. In the future, the focus of action of the multinational force will be adjusted accordingly, which can more effectively combat local terrorist forces. But this is a fart to Wankang. Xiaomin doesn't care about big plans. He thinks Sacoru is wise. It is a kind of wisdom to choose to give up or withdraw at the critical moment.
"Susanna, what use do you think we are here?" Wankang asked, "To deal with those terrorists or government forces? That's impossible. It will never be possible to use this method to achieve peace, because there is no fundamental solution to the contradiction. , And to resolve the conflict, it still requires dialogue between the two parties, not the *** of the multinational force."
"We are not here to be ***, but to effectively control the situation and not to make it too intensified." Susanna said, "It's like a car bomb incident, it's best to avoid it."
"Susanna, that's impossible." Sriel said, "As long as there is hatred in my heart, all external factors have little effect."
"If you want to achieve your goal, there is only one possibility." Wan Kangdao, "come a bloody ***, resolutely eliminate one party, leaving only one regime, and what is left is the contradictions among the people."
Sriel looked at Wan Kang with a smile, "Your national conditions?"
"Sriel, don't discuss the state affairs of the member states, otherwise there will be trouble." Wankang replied coldly.
Sriel shrugged.
The car stopped and the headquarters of the Multinational Force in Iraq arrived. This is a relatively peaceful place, on a hillside with a large open area around it.
"Our task in the future is to patrol the streets." Susanna announced the news after returning from the commander's camp.
"It's really nonsense, let us get bombed!" Sriel complained.
Susanna didn't say anything, no matter how inappropriate the task was, she had to execute it.
