Chapter 910 A Very Bad Guess

To deliver goods to Aleppo, Gao Yang has two options.

Both roads must first go south from Baghdad, then turn westward and follow Highway 1. After passing through the two dangerous towns of Fallujah and Ramadi, you have to make a choice whether to continue west along Highway 1. Go, or turn northwest to Highway 12, it depends on Gao Yang's choice.

The straight-line distance between Baghdad and Aleppo is about a thousand kilometers, and there is basically desert in the middle. Highway 12 runs along the Euphrates River, and it is the closest straight line. It can basically go directly along the Euphrates River. To Aleppo.

Moreover, there are towns all along the Euphrates River, which provide convenient supplies, but the shortcomings are also obvious. With more towns, there will be more people, and with more people, there will naturally be more troubles.

If you go west along Highway 1, after passing Ramadi, you will reach a vast desert. In the desert, you definitely don’t need to worry about encountering any armed groups.

Taking Highway 1 requires a big detour, which adds up to almost 500 kilometers of road. If you include the detour in Syria, it adds up to 1,000 kilometers, and you won’t get anything along the way. Supplies: If you want to take this route, prepare enough fuel and water.

The road conditions on both roads were not good, and Gao Yang finally chose to take Highway 1. The reason for choosing to take a long detour instead of going straight was simple. Gao Yang was not afraid of the harsh natural environment, nor was he too afraid of encountering attacks, but he was I am afraid of encountering a bomb planted on the roadside, and walking in the desert can avoid bombs to the greatest extent.

There is another important reason for choosing to take Highway 1. Whether the route is safe cannot only be determined by the situation in Iraq, but also by the situation in Syria.

The Euphrates River is the lifeline of Iraq, and it is also the lifeline of Syria. The route from Baghdad to Aleppo not far away is along the Euphrates River, and there are dense towns and cities on both sides of the Euphrates River in Syria. Government forces and rebels have been fighting fiercely, and you have to take the Euphrates River. As for the river line, at least half of the journey had to pass through towns where fighting was fierce.

As for walking west along Highway 1, although it is a big detour, it will be much more convenient to cross the border. And after entering Syria, there is also a large area of ​​desolate desert. Gao Yang had multiple routes to choose from to avoid areas with intense fighting. He didn't need to worry about meeting people until he entered the densely populated areas of Syria, but by then he was already very close to Aleppo.

The route has long been decided. Since everything was decided by Gao Yang, there was no need to waste time discussing the route. Gao Yang said directly to the driver: "Let's go west, through the desert. How is the car condition? Is there enough fuel? Do we need any supplies?" "

After hesitating for a moment, the driver nodded and said: "The condition of the car is fine, but it's best to replenish the water and oil.

"

Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, "How far can the oil last?"

The driver looked at the fuel gauge. He said: "Two hundred kilometers is still no problem."

Gao Yang snapped his fingers and said, "Very good, what's your name?"

"Mulafa."

"Mulafa. You can call me captain. Do you have a walkie-talkie? Set the frequency and we will set off in five minutes."

Gao Yang didn't even want to tell his nickname to these people who were destined not to have long-term interactions. After he finished speaking, he asked the driver to tune the walkie-talkie and returned it to the driver. Then he took two steps, raised his hand and waved it twice above his head.

Gao Yang got into the car directly. Eileen, who acted as his driver, whispered: "Done?"

"It's done, ready to go. Let's go to the supply point in Ramadi first. The truck needs to be replenished with fuel."

Erin started the car and said no more. After watching the people scattered around return to their respective cars, Gao Yang said in a deep voice on the intercom: "Let's go to the supply point in Ramadi first."

Before Porovich was kicked out of Big Ivan's huge arms group, he had always been the largest arms dealer in West Asia. A considerable part of his goods were shipped from Iraq to Syria, so Gaoyang took this route. , in fact, Polovich is also familiar with it. If supplies are needed, Polovich will naturally have a reliable source.

The so-called supply point was not set up by Porovich, but the replenishment point is just to add oil, water, etc. You only need to pay. Porovich can use it, and Gao Yang can of course use it. It's like a The gas station is just a gas station that Porovich is familiar with and has friendship with.

The car started to drive, with the bulletproof off-road vehicle at the front. Sitting on it were Li Jinfang, Fry, Cui Bo, Andy He, and Raphael. They were mainly assaulters, accompanied by Cui Bo, a sniper, who was leading the way. The combination is the most responsive team. Whether it is an assault or a stand-alone position, it has sufficient protection and firepower, and is suitable for both near and far.

Gao Yang and Irene drove a car. One of them was an assaulter and the other a precision shooter. It was very convenient whether they were plugging in from behind to support the forward vehicle, or backward to support the support vehicle following behind.

The truck is in the middle, and behind the truck is a machine gun truck driven by Grolev, Bruce, and Lucika. The main task of this truck is support.

At the end are the mortar trucks of Jason and Tommy. It will take some time for both of them to use their firepower. If they are really attacked, the attackers will let go of the four vehicles in front and focus on the last one. It's unlikely, so if they are attacked, the two of them will get out of the car quickly. Then Jensen will first cooperate with Tommy to use maximum artillery fire, and then Jensen will use drones for reconnaissance.

The five vehicles each opened a distance of 100 meters, and after getting on the road, they traveled at a speed of almost 50 kilometers per hour.

There are basically no cars at night, but the road conditions are really bad. Iraq is in desperate need of a lot of work now. Unfortunately, no one cares about the revival of Iraq. There are big craters on the bumpy roads from time to time, and there are also deliberate roadblocks and the like. The speed of fifty kilometers per hour already seems very fast.

Walking along Highway 1, the first dangerous obstacle is having to pass through Fallujah.

The US military cleared Fallujah over and over again, but could not completely control Fallujah until they left. After the US military left, needless to say, the result was that the Iraqi government had already given up control of Fallujah, and now The Iraqis who dare to go to Fallujah are either terrorists or true fearless warriors.

If you take a detour from Baghdad and take Highway 1, it will be a hundred kilometers to Fallujah. The speed is sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Gao Yang and the others also approached Fallujah in about two hours.

"Boss, we are already approaching Fallujah. We have seen the road signs and the number of roadblocks has increased significantly."

Satan's internal communications were isolated from the people in the truck. After hearing Frye's report, Gao Yang immediately said: "Be vigilant, prepare for battle, turn off the lights, and drive covertly with night vision goggles."

"Understood, drive covertly."

After the other three vehicles successively signaled their understanding, Irene pulled down the night vision device on her helmet, then turned off the lights. Then she looked at the truck behind her through the reflector and said with a smile: "Boss, truck what to do?"

Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about them, it's good to let them be targets for attracting firepower."

After Irene laughed, she said: "Boss, you are a bad student."

Gao Yang smiled and shook his head, saying: "I also feel that I have become bad, but, Eileen, do you feel that the people following us are not following the right path?"

Eileen shrugged and said with a smile: "Of course they came from the wrong way. They are not a good number in the first place."

Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "I feel something is wrong. How should I put it? Now I am basically sure that the goods we escorted are not banknotes at all. Now the problem has returned to the state before we first took over this task. If the goods are not banknotes, , so, what kind of goods we deliver can be worth twenty million US dollars in commission? How many valuable things do you think a truck can haul? "

Erin frowned and said, "Boss, I think I have a bad guess now, which makes me feel bad."

Gao Yang nodded and said: "Me too. I haven't had time to tell you the details yet. The goods have been robbed once in Mahmudiye, but they were returned again. If what we are transporting is not money, then , the only thing I can think of is..."

Erin looked stern and said: "Biological or chemical weapons."

Gao Yang sighed and said, "Yes, it's too easy to think of."

After Irene was silent for a moment, she suddenly said: "In the Middle East, Syria has a huge chemical weapons arsenal. The Americans said that Iraq has it, but they have not found it. The other country with a chemical arsenal is the Shah, and the one you are talking to He's a Bedouin with a big beard."

The main ethnic group of the Shah was the Bedouin.

Gao Yang sighed and said: "I know, so we have to talk about this matter carefully. I plan to talk to everyone about it when we are in Ramadi for supplies. In addition, now that we have taken over the goods, If we want to find out what the cargo is, at least we don't have to just guess."

Erin said solemnly: "We have to figure it out, boss. If we transport a truckload of chemical weapons to Syria and hand them over to the rebels, God, I can't imagine what will happen next."

Gao Yang nodded silently and said: "We are mercenaries. Mercenaries should not have a position or tendency. This is a principle. However, let this principle go to hell. We are mercenaries, and we are human beings! We You cannot become the executioner who slaughters tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.”

Eileen said quietly: "I agree."

Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Also, think about it, if it is really a biological and chemical weapon that passes through our hands and is given to the rebels, think about how big and bad the consequences will be in this world, even if we don't know how to Condemned by conscience, we are finished, completely finished, even Ulyanko and Porovich dare not touch these things, selling arms and selling weapons of mass destruction are two different things."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yang waved his hand and said solemnly: "So, no matter what, find out what the cargo is. If it is really what we guessed, then terminate the mission immediately! I will inform everyone later, and, There is no need to discuss this.” (To be continued)
