Chapter 1267 Gratitude
Yang Yi wanted to believe that Azar was grateful to him, because since he stopped Wahid from following them to see Badadi, Azar had been very cooperative with him.
Azar brought two people, and Yang Yi also brought two people, but behind them, there was a magic box force led by Brian. Azar already knew the existence of the magic box, but he said nothing. , with no objection at all.
The road from Baghdad to Mosul is very dangerous. Although there are many checkpoints set up by the Iraqi Defense Forces along the way, these checkpoints do not pose much threat to Yang Yi and others. However, those scattered armed organizations may bring to threaten.
However, in Iraq, this road is relatively peaceful, and the real test lies on the Iraq-Syria border.
Iraq has taken extremely strict precautions against wars from neighboring countries. Large military defenses have been deployed near the national border. Anyone who wants to enter or exit the country must go through heavy inspections.
In the past two years, AIS has gained momentum, and many places in Iraq have been controlled by AIS. As long as you enter the territory controlled by AIS, you must go through inspection and release by Iraq.
The meeting with Badadi must be extremely confidential, so neither Yang Yi nor Azar can reveal their identities. Even if Yang Yi doesn't care about being exposed, he can't reveal his identity. Pass the checkpoint.
How to get through checkpoints and outposts one after another? The easiest way is to pay bribes.
Azar took the initiative to take on the responsibility of leading Yang Yi through the border. He should have had this opportunity for a long time, and he was running a good business, so the whole journey was smooth.
It wasn't until they reached the border that Yang Yi and the others had to accept the real test.
Azar, who was leading the way, slowed down, and then drove the car directly into the desert on the roadside. Yang Yi, who was driving the car himself, followed and drove down, and Azar walked over from his car.
Yang Yi lowered the car window, and Azar whispered beside the car window: "To avoid trouble, we have to go around the desert."
"How far is it?"
"We are still ten kilometers away from the border. If we go around it, we need to walk an extra thirty kilometers, but it is safe. I have walked this road several times and there is no problem."
After finishing speaking, Azar pointed to Yang Yi's wheel and said: "It's best to lower the tire pressure to avoid getting stuck in the desert."
Yang Yi opened the car door. He took the intercom and said: "We will go around the desert. Everyone, please prepare."
Yang Yi was so good that Azar also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is there anyone to pick you up when you get there?"
Azar nodded and said: "There is someone to respond, otherwise we may be attacked. We just need to get to the meeting point before two o'clock tonight. There is no one waiting for us."
Yang Yi looked up at the sky and said, "There should be no drone surveillance and reconnaissance in the airspace around here, right?"
"Yes, but I've never had any problems passing through here before."
Yang Yi thought for a while and said: "I think it's better to check. Wait for me for a moment, I want to make a call."
The problem on the ground has been solved, but Yang Yi is really afraid that if there is a surveillance drone in the sky, and then discovers their convoy of unknown origin, the operator will give them two bombs on a whim. Too bad, although the probability of this happening is small, it is not impossible.
Yang Yi took out the satellite phone and dialed Aaron. After Aaron answered, he whispered: "Sir, we are going to pass the Syrian-Iraqi border now. I want to know if there are any drones above us. , and most importantly, are there drones ready to drop bombs at any time.”
Aaron smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't be attacked."
"Okay sir, thank you sir."
She pretended to talk to Aaron, but in fact she mainly told him that she was going to cross the border. As for her worry about being attacked by drones, that was for Azar.
Anton has deflated the four tires, and Brian and the others behind them have also finished. Yang Yi said to Azar: "We can set off now. Well, if you don't mind, how about taking our car?"
Azar hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I can take your car."
It is normal to distrust each other and be wary of each other. Azar got into Yang Yi's car, but Anton got into Azar's car without saying a word.
Reggie switched to driving, and Yang Yi said to Azar who was sitting in the back seat with him: "It must be hard to take this route."
Azar gave a bitter smile and said: "It's not that hard after all. It's dangerous, but it's not very dangerous. Just be careful."
Azar's smile was so bitter, of course there was something unspeakable, and Yang Yi knew what Azar was worried about.
It doesn't matter if it's more dangerous, and it doesn't matter if it's more difficult, but the problem is that being followed by a boss who doesn't understand anything and only knows how to put on airs is really hard.
Azar didn't seem to want to say anything, but Yang Yi really wanted to know more about the situation from Azar, so he looked very indifferent and said: "Can you talk about Balham? I have never met him. This is What kind of person is he?"
Azar thought for a moment and nodded: "This person is a charming person, otherwise there would not be so many people following him, but..."
Spreading his hands, Azar smiled and said, "Let's not talk about him. It's hard for me to say."
"All right."
Smiling politely, Yang Yi shrugged and said, "I know there are some things I shouldn't say based on our relationship, but, well, I sympathize with you, man, really."
Azar sighed, looked at Yang Yi and said, "Friend, I don't want to talk about this."
It’s not that I don’t want to talk, it’s that I can’t and don’t dare to talk.
Yang Yi smiled and said: "Well, I want to know if there is anything I need to pay attention to when I get there?"
Azar took a long breath and said: "Actually, there is nothing special to pay attention to. Well, be careful of the Russian planes. The Russians have come in a long time ago. They will bomb from time to time, although the possibility of encountering bombings at the border is not high." It’s big, but you do need to pay attention and take precautions. As for...drone, you don’t need to worry about it.”
"OK."
"As for other aspects, there is actually nothing to say. As long as someone takes care of us, we don't have to worry too much about safety issues. Well, do you like collecting antiques?"
"What?"
"Are you interested in Middle Eastern antiques?"
"Well, I'm not very interested, but if it's something interesting, of course I'd be interested."
Azar nodded and said: "Well, if there is anything you are interested in, you can tell me. They have looted many museums. Some antiques are very valuable. If you like them, I can show you."
After finishing speaking, Azar hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Just consider it my thanks to you."
Sorry, I thought everything was fine, but today I found out that was not the case.
I'm trying my best to keep updating, not supervise, at least let this book finish normally.
Well, sorry, one update today.
I'm fine, please don't worry, I'm just a little confused, and I really shouldn't stop taking the medicine.
Sorry, I'm a little confused.
Please don't worry about me, it's just a little messy, nothing serious. Anyway, please forgive me. I really don't know what else to say, so that's it.
