I traveled all the way to Afghanistan, hoping to make some money in this place, but before the business deal was concluded, two wars had already occurred.
Long Zhan is helpless!
I have to lament that any opportunity to make big money is not that easy.
Although Afghanistan is full of gold today, as long as you have the ability, you can easily earn tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars.
But Long Zhan's personal experience now is that it really takes hard work to make this kind of money.
If Long Zhan hadn't come to discuss the deal in person, but had sent an employee over, then two batches of people would probably have died by now.
No money was made, and pensions were lost by millions.
Fortunately, Long Zhan himself was strong enough and had the ability to forge iron. The two crises he encountered were almost without incident, and he was finally defeated.
Looking at this side of the Marine Corps base, the inventory of supplies is about to be completed.
At that time, the person in charge of the base will sign and confirm, and send it back to the person in charge of the Ministry of National Defense, and Jushen Company can send someone over to start selling it.
Long Zhan has already contacted Yuri and confirmed what goods are available here.
Yuri has many African customers, all of whom need ferocious and wild military vehicles from the United States. Only such vehicles can drive wildly on the bad land of Africa.
As long as the goods from Long Zhan can be delivered, Yuri will immediately come over with the money to pick up the goods.
Then, just when Long Zhan thought he could lie down in the base, chat about life and ideals with sister Danni, and wait for the final work to be completed.
What happened next proved that Long Zhan did not have a life of leisure and comfort.
The second day after Long Zhan returned to the base.
A call from the Eighth Army Embassy was placed in the Octagon Building in Washington, USA, and was forwarded to Dave by the secretary.
Dave is the director of the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, and the caller is Ambassador Mike Stevens.
"Mike, I received the text message you sent. I was just a little busy and didn't have time to reply. What do you want?" Dave asked impatiently.
"Dave, listen, I need your help. I need you to help me get a group of missionaries out of Afu Khan and back to Bagui to die." Mike Stevens said.
"Missionaries? Afghanistan?"
Director Dave's head hurt when he heard the name, and he said with a headache: "Come on, Mike, there are thousands of people trying to flee this country.
The past three governments have supported us in everything we do in Afghanistan.
But this government just wants to withdraw its troops and hand over this country to our enemies, and now they are launching a fierce attack, making it impossible for us to retreat with dignity, don't you know?"
Long Zhan has a deep understanding of how chaotic the current situation in Afghanistan is.
The encounters that Long Zhan encountered in Afghanistan are just the tip of the iceberg for the US military in the entire Afghanistan. Fighting is breaking out in more places.
The Taliban, which has become fully dominant, is launching attacks on the US military throughout Afghanistan.
Dozens of battles, large and small, take place every day, and every soldier is killed every day. The Ministry of National Defense is already in a state of distress.
"I know, I know, but..."
"These people went to Afghanistan. They didn't know the risks."
Dave interrupted Mike Stevens and said in a higher tone: "You can only tell them to pack their things and run away. Our own troops are running away and we can no longer take care of them."
When Stevens saw Dave talking so eloquently, he could only drop a bombshell: "They are all Americans."
"American?"
Dave's expression changed.
Dave thought that those who passed by were Bajitan people. He didn't pay attention to the shit of these foreigners at all, and he didn't care no matter how many people died.
And if the person who dies is a foreigner, it will not have any impact in the country.
But if the person who died was an American...
Not to mention that it is the duty of soldiers to save the countrymen, but if everyone in this group really died in Afghanistan, they did nothing.
After being reported by domestic news media, it will definitely have a great impact on its own.
Maybe my future career will collapse.
It was related to his future development, but the knife accidentally fell on his head. Dave, who originally had nothing to do with him, had to treat it with caution.
"American!"
Mike answered in the affirmative and explained: "A priest brought him and his family here and built a church in the village of Salad, and we have been using them to assist in the evacuation of Afghan government forces translators.
But they... stayed too long."
"Mike, there's something I have to tell you."
Dave had a headache, so he pressed his hands and continued: "Don't say it's me who said this. It's based on the exact intelligence information I received here.
Hundreds of anti-government militants are heading to the Salad village area.
They have already attacked the city of Cabell, destroyed government buildings and police stations, and are now trying to sweep all surrounding villages.
Just like a locust cross-border offensive, everything related to the United States will be destroyed.
The media said that these people were Taliban, but in fact they were not at all. These people came by car from Baki Shitan and Xuliya.
They are a group of crazy butchers, more ferocious than the Taliban, and they are cleaning everything they encounter.
There is such a group of lunatics, they are outright terrorists, Mike, do you know how much we have to pay to save them?"
There are many terrorist organizations in the Middle East, many of which have impressive fighting capabilities.
Even if the U.S. military troops encounter them, if they do not make perfect preparations, they may suffer big losses accidentally.
Under such circumstances, in the context of the general withdrawal.
To rescue a group of unarmed missionaries from the hands of such a group of terrorists who have gone completely crazy and killed them wherever they go.
This level of difficulty cannot be said to be difficult, it is simply hell level.
There is no need to go to the general army or marines.
Once you go, you can’t come back!
Mike Stevens clearly had a different relationship with this group of missionaries. He continued to insist: "This man risked his family's life for us and did so much for his country.
You may not care about it, but I do, and I need help, and you have to help me."
Mike Stevens's attitude was very tough. Dave had no choice but to let it go. After all, it was an ambassador calling for help.
After holding it in for a long time, he said: "Let me take a look and see if I can think of a way."
It was ten thirty in the morning when I hung up the phone.
Although Mike Stevens was anxious, he had no choice but to pace back and forth anxiously in the embassy office and wait.
