C331 Return to Afghanistan
C331 Return to Afghanistan
There was an additional passenger on the plane with a special identity, Shi Boren.
Tang Bochuan and Long Bing were also on the plane, along with Ootsuki and Syrani. However, the two White Huns women were being watched by Tang Bochuan and Long Bing, so they could not approach Shi Boren and Xia Lei who were talking.
Ootsuki held the wooden box containing the Sword of Attila tightly. To her, the thing inside the wooden box was more important than her life.
Syrani blinked her dark blue eyes, as she stared straight at the distant Xia Lei and Shi Boren. She seemed to be guessing at the conversation between the two men. However, her brain was unable to accomplish this task.
In fact, she wasn't even sure what was going on inside her head ?
Over here, Shi Boren said in a low voice, "Look, you've already completed such a difficult mission, so I can't leave you anymore. "In order to express the success of your mission, I have submitted a report to the higher-ups, asking them to give you a green light in your military factory. Your military factory will be ready soon."
Xia Lei laughed bitterly: "Originally, I expected to return to Afghanistan after participating in the ribbon cutting ceremony, but you said that time was of the essence, so I immediately returned to Afghanistan. I've already done what I can, but I want to make it clear that this is the last time I'll carry out a mission for you all. In the future, don't look for me for something like this. It's fine to change your gun or whatever. You can do it anytime you want.
Shi Boren frowned slightly, "Your ability makes you worthy to serve our country. Our country also needs talented people like you. I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said, so don't say it again in the future. If you serve the country, the country will not treat you unfairly. "Look, how about this, when we get back, I will respond to the higher-ups. First, I will place a big order for 10,000 pistols or something like that, I will let your workers practice and hone their skills. What do you think about that?"
The order for ten thousand pistols, even if the price was two thousand yuan, was still a large order for twenty million yuan. With this order, the workers and machines in Rayma Military Factory would not be idle. Furthermore, this was the benefit of the fact that Rayma Military Factory was unable to produce high performance sniper rifles. To Xia Lei, this order was definitely a reward and an support order, it was extremely meaningful.
If he rejected Shi Boren directly, the order might just fly. Moreover, he was still unable to go back to remodeling the machine tools to produce high performance sniper rifles. He had already invested one billion yuan in the military factory. He couldn't possibly let that money just stand there and stare blankly, right? Furthermore, the newly recruited engineers and workers also had to pay their salaries, so buying one gold out of every five risks was also a large amount of expenditure. "Huu ?"
"Boss Shi, are you trying to seduce me?" Xia Lei said half-jokingly. He could not reject the order Shi Boren had given him, but he did not immediately state her opinion. Instead, she tried it out: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Shi Boren laughed, "This mission is not dangerous, you can complete it on the way."
Xia Lei's heart stirred, he seemed to have guessed what kind of mission Shi Boren wanted to talk about.
"I need to save him, but you can't come back after." Shi Boren said: "Tang Yuyan will bring a few experts back, and Long Bing and Tang Bochuan will also help them, so you don't need to worry about this matter. Leave behind what you want to do and dig out the things inside that ancient city. "
"Alright, I agree." This was something that he had to do in the first place, and now that he had earned the order to buy a handgun for no reason, Xia Lei agreed to it without hesitation.
Shi Boren stared straight at Xia Lei, "Do you know what you want to dig?"
Xia Lei smiled, "Don't forget that I am very good friends with Serenity. I met her in that tribe before, and she told me about it. "But I don't know much. I only know that I need to use that compass to find the place where I need to dig."
If you pretend to know nothing, you make a low and unnecessary mistake. Who was Shi Boren, the leader of the secret service? It was not wise at all to play tricks in front of him, furthermore, Tang Yuyan knew a bit of the situation, it could not be hidden from him. Rather than that, she might as well tell them the truth.
Sure enough, a smile surfaced on Shi Boren's lips, "You're right, you really do need that compass. You were the one who repaired that compass, so you must know how to use it. Remember, no matter what it takes, you have to accomplish this task. Also, you must bring all the things you dug up back home. "
"No problem." After pausing for a moment, Xia Lei asked again, "Boss Shi, can you tell me a little more?"
Shi Boren's expression became serious, "You only need to complete the mission, as for what those things are, and what they are used for, you do not need to know."
gave up and did not continue probing, "Alright, I know what to do."
"If you need anything, feel free to mention it. As long as it is something related to the mission, I will definitely satisfy you."
Xia Lei thought for a while and said: "In order to complete this mission, they must establish a good relationship with the White Huns Tribe. In order to save others, I have already promised them to build a small-scale hydroelectric station, as well as gift of some household appliances, rice cookers, water heaters and the like. I already asked my assistant to buy these things, but it will be very difficult to transport them to that place. Boss Shi, can you think of a way to transport these things in? "
Shi Boren replied, "No problem, transport the things to Pakistan first, and then fly them over from Pakistan."
Xia Lei asked worriedly, "The airspace of Afghanistan is almost completely controlled by the American forces, can we transport it in?"
"It's not like the U.S. military is omnipotent. You don't have to worry about that. Just wait for the receiving equipment."
Xia Lei secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If he had to transport the construction equipment for the hydropower station to the White Huns's tribe, who knew how much time and expense it would take, with Shi Boren's words, he would be at ease. This was the benefit of a country becoming strong. Doing something like this, with a powerful country backing them up, that sort of feeling was actually quite proud.
The two of them continued their conversation, discussing the details of the operation.
The military transport plane landed at the military base at the border of the new province.
In the military base, Tang Bochuan provided Xia Lei, Ootsuki and Syrani with a set of traditional Afghan clothing. After the three of them changed into it, they also gave 101 sets of makeup. Xia Lei's skin was dyed yellow, with a lot of wrinkles and a thick beard.
The makeup treatment for Ootsuki and Syrani was a little more complicated, the makeup artist had increased their age, and also made them a little uglier. With the traditional black robes and black headscarves worn by Afghan women, the two women only had their eyes exposed. If someone had been after them, lifted their veils, and seen two old, ugly faces, they would have lost interest.
Ootsuki's and Syrani's horses were also returned to their hands, along with their AK-47, but they were all hidden within the salutes.
Xia Lei obtained the most equipment, other than his sniper rifle, he also had some scouting and assassination equipment, which made him into the 007 of the 101st wave. There was also a communication device, two satellite telephone s and a few spare batteries. With this communication device, he would be able to communicate with his own country in the White Huns's tribe, and would not have to worry about not having electricity or a signal.
When they were about to set off, Long Bing called Xia Lei to one side and warned him, "Be careful. Even though we have already made all the preparations, you can't let your guard down. Especially after Tang Yuyan has brought the few experts and left, you will remain in that tribe. You must take good care of yourself, and don't throw your life there. "
Xia Lei was a little touched in his heart. He nodded, "I will, and you take care of yourself as well. Don't risk your life too much.
Long Bing smiled slightly, but her smile only flashed for a moment before disappearing, "I'll tell you something about Shentu Tianyin later, do you want to know?"
Xia Lei laughed bitterly, "Go ahead."
"She has already returned to her homeland. Her cooperation project with the Celestial domain group has not been cancelled. She called you the night she left the hotel. She called you three times, but you didn't get it. "
"It's good that she's fine. I'll have a chat with her after I return home. I owe her an explanation." Xia Lei still felt a little guilty. After all, the act of stealing the Sword of Attila had taken advantage of Shentu Tianyin's suspicion.
Long Bing slightly curled the corner of her mouth, "You are really thoughtful, is there anything I can pass on to her?"
Xia Lei thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No."
"Then go."
Xia Lei led his horse and left. Long Bing seemed to want to say something, but she swallowed back her words.
A moment later, the three warhorses left the military base and galloped all the way to the Wakhan. They left the borders of the Grand China and entered the Wakhan Corridor.
Actually, Xia Lei had a suggestion to fly into Afghanistan, but Shi Boren rejected his suggestion first. All the airports in Afghanistan were under close surveillance by the United States military, and there were also numerous intelligence agents operating there. Once they were discovered, the operation would fail in advance. No one could bear the consequences. It would be a waste of time to walk overland, but it was much safer. The planned airlift of the hydropower plant's equipment also required a very thorough planning and preparation time, not just airlift.
In the desert, Syrani and Ootsuki galloped on their horses while Xia Lei chased after them. Syrani turned around and waved at Xia Lei, "Xia, let's have a match! As long as you catch up to me, I will be your woman! "
Xia Lei shook his head hard.
"Then I'll chase after you. If I catch up to you, you'll be my man?"
Xia Lei, "..."
Ootsuki slowed down her speed and matched up with Xia Lei, "Xia, who is that old man?"
Xia Lei thought for a moment before replying: "A big shot, if you still want to ask, I can only tell you that his status is equivalent to the director of the CIA in the United States. Do you understand what I mean now?"
"You're honest. What did you talk about on the plane?"
"The matter of the hostages returning home, and the matter of building a hydroelectric power station for you. He was against it, but I insisted, and he finally agreed. " Xia Lei laughed and said, "Before long, all of you will be able to use electricity. Power will be used to cook rice, power will be used to boil water, and you will even be able to sleep on electric blankets in the cold winter."
"Wow!" Syrani shouted excitedly, "Xia, can you buy some bullets for the old women in the tribe? I'm going to give it to them. Their man is really too pitiful. "
Xia Lei's vision went black, and he almost fell off his horse.
