The Red Alert Begins in the Wasteland

In the grand banquet hall of the Presidential Residence in Baghdad.

Natasha took Cai Ruichen's arm, shuttled through the hall, and had a cordial conversation with every Iraqi government official inside.

The official residence of the Iraqi government was actually built just before the Iraq War by Saddam, on the banks of the Tigris River that runs through Baghdad.

When the U.S. Army occupied Baghdad effortlessly, the final object of occupation was this mansion.

After the establishment of the new Iraqi government, this place became the presidential palace of the Iraqi government.

It has become the new administrative center of the Iraqi government and has a very prosperous layout.

Today, in order to entertain Cai Ruichen, Hafiz also prepared a grand reception very carefully.

There are only 30 or 40 high-level military and political leaders in Iraq who are present today, as well as the highest commanders of various corps and division-level troops.

Almost all of Saddam’s hundreds of thousands of National Guards were disbanded when the US troops entered Baghdad.

And these high-level military and political leaders are all promoted in the past few years. Perhaps a certain military officer here is a relative of a certain high-level government.

There are no fewer than ten relatives of Hafez alone.

For these people, Cai Ruichen just kept a consistent smile and talked with them all over the world.

Because this banquet is actually the kind of reception that, in Cai Ruichen's eyes, is completely impossible to eat.

It's more like a social gathering, which has nothing to do with food and fullness.

He was naturally very resistant to such a banquet, but when he was in need, he had to squeeze a hypocritical smile and have so-called very pleasant conversations with these people.

However, the pile of checks he prepared in his pocket was swept away after so-called cordial conversation with everyone.

Some people even shook hands with him twice, the meaning is very obvious. It was for the check in Cai Ruichen's hand.

Fortunately. This kind of check offensive is very effective. Everyone here is very close after seeing Cai Ruichen, even after the conversation. They all looked very reluctant, and even said. We need to communicate more in the future.

After a cocktail party called Iraq's top social class, Cai Ruichen left directly.

Because of this place, he didn't want to stay for a second. Otherwise, his hard-faced smiling face forced to play, fearing that the next second will really be unstoppable.

Until the convoy left the mansion. With a stiff smile on Cai Ruichen's face, he finally recovered.

In the car, Natasha looked at Cai Ruichen's helpless appearance. I couldn't help but laughed and said, "Commander. It is indeed fortunate that you have suffered. Originally, you could send someone over."

"Forget it, I have to deal with these people sooner or later. And I'm more formal to come out." Cai Ruichen shook his head, and then said with a relaxed expression: "Moreover, I also like to go out for a walk and stay in the base for a few months. Now, the whole person is about to rust."

"The commander should indeed come out and walk around. This is conducive to broadening their horizons and cultivating sentiments."

In the special car, Cai Ruichen and Natasha were not the only ones. In front of them, there was a young man. After hearing what they said, the young man spoke.

Xu Jie: Hero-level spy, wise and calm, good at insight into people's hearts and intelligence analysis (guest guest appearance by book friends)

Spy, in the past twenty days, Cai Ruichen has conducted three more draws, and all three draws yielded results, and one of them was drawn to a spy unit.

"If that's the case, then come down and take a walk." Cai Ruichen also nodded heartily when he heard Xu Jie's words.

Just by the side of the road is the beautiful Tigris River. On both sides of the river bank under the scorching sun, there are shades of green trees, which has a somewhat peaceful beauty.

When the convoy came to the Euphrates Bridge in Baghdad, Cai Ruichen stopped the car.

Afterwards, a few people left the convoy and walked directly along the bridge towards Baghdad Commercial Street across the river.

This place is located in the political center of Baghdad and is also the most heavily guarded place.

It is also the area where the dignitaries live in Baghdad, and it is the best in terms of safety and public order.

The once beautiful side of Baghdad has been well preserved in this area.

All foreign institutions living in Iraq are basically in this place, and all those foreigners also live here.

There are almost no traces of war in this area, and there are only a few areas where Baghdad civilization remains.

A little further away is the commercial street in Baghdad. It is the only place where people can go shopping.

When he came to Baghdad last time, Cai Ruichen visited the commercial street, so he is not unfamiliar.

But the Tigris River, a beautiful river that crosses Baghdad, once gave birth to the life river of several ancient civilizations, but now it has a bit less beauty and a bit more killing.

The main reason is that several Iraqi naval gunboats broke the beautiful scene here on the river in the distance.

When I saw the Iraqi security forces carrying weapons on routine patrols, they would have completely destroyed the original lack of beauty.

However, Cai Ruichen, who has not left the base for several months, still has a good feeling for this kind of scenery.

At least, here is indeed far away from war.

Of course, if you didn't hear the explosion just heard in the distance, I believe this feeling would be even better.

Cai Ruichen still has a little memory of this place, the first time he saw this steel bridge.

It was also when the British and American forces invaded Baghdad~www.wuxiaspot.com~ three American reporters took pictures of American troops crossing the bridge.

But at that time, there was a smoke of gunpowder all around, even if the Anglo-American coalition forces that were not resisted entered Baghdad, they were still highly nervous.

In the eyes of the whole world, it should be a **** battle. Saddam's National Guard, which had hundreds of thousands of troops, was the most elite armed force in Iraq.

However, without the slightest resistance, the British and French forces captured Baghdad.

I am afraid that at that time, even every Anglo-American soldier could not believe such a smooth progress.

Therefore, when I first entered the city and did not find resistance, I was very nervous whether it was a conspiracy by the National Guard.

The passage of all kinds of wasted bullets proved afterwards that it was really a waste of ammunition, because the hundreds of thousands of National Guards were reduced to zero, and Baghdad was indeed completely abandoned.

Otherwise, the current Baghdad may be even more dilapidated. After all, if troops of more than a hundred thousand people and the British and American forces fight here, this city with a population of 6 million will no longer exist. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
