Chapter 372 Benghazi (please collect, recommend, and vote monthly)
The journey to Benghazi went very smoothly, but when approaching the destination, Smith said that they should not get too close to the city, and these government troops should not get too close to sensitive areas.
So the rest of the journey could only be escorted by the dozen or so people from Umbrella, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Opposition and government forces in the eastern city of Beida have been fighting fiercely for four days and have almost taken control of the airport. The entire area is basically out of the control of the Libiya government.
The situation in Benghazi is equally bad. Burnt and abandoned vehicles are everywhere on both sides of the road. Shops on both sides of the street are closed, and some have been robbed.
The streets are full of people fleeing with their families. Occasionally, you can see unattended corpses lying on the ground on the roadside. "Hey, in troubled times, people's lives are not as good as dogs." Xu Chuan sighed.
Some armed opposition personnel were standing at the intersection with various weapons and were wearing all kinds of clothes. At first glance, they looked like civilians, and many of them were operating in family units.
I have talked with several people from HCLI before, and all the equipment they transported has arrived, but a lot of it is floating at sea.
Europe has not yet armed and trained these people. They are also waiting for a suitable time, such as when these people are desperate.
This will not take too long. According to Smith, Cardazzo is gathering the army. The first thing he has to deal with is the problems around the capital Tripoli.
Zawiya, 40 kilometers away from Tripoli, is also controlled by the opposition. It is the gateway to the capital and takes less than half an hour by car. It has both oil fields and the largest refinery, which is very important to Lipiya.
As long as the crisis around the capital is resolved, the government forces can push all the way along the coastal road and push these people into the sea. However, this is the best result. Western countries are waiting for the opposition to be in dire straits before they advance. field.
Xu Chuan was sitting in the back seat, looking at the malicious looks of some people on the street, with his left hand resting on his chin. This was not because he had persecution delusions, but because years of fighting had made him very sensitive to hostility.
"I haven't offended anyone recently, have I?" He rubbed his chin and mentally filtered through the people he had dealt with recently.
Then he took out his tactical terminal and sent a message to Nikita, asking her to check all the mercenaries and PMC groups that had come to Libiya in the recent period to see if there were any acquaintances of hers.
Under normal circumstances, there is no problem in keeping some of Umbrella's secret operations confidential. Those who should be silenced should be silenced, and all kinds of evidence should be destroyed.
However, there are some situations that cannot be hidden, such as some government orders received. These are normal business categories and require payment of taxes.
"Do you think someone is targeting us?" Smith sat aside with a cigar in his mouth, but he didn't light it.
Xu Chuan thought for a while, "I don't know, but I just have a feeling." Maybe it was because he was sensitive. Now he looked out the window and felt that no one on the road looked like a good person.
At the Port of Benghazi, a large cruise ship has docked at the pier, and the Chinese people gathered in the port have begun to board the ship in an orderly manner.
The more than a thousand people escorted by Xu Chuan got out of the car. Everyone was so excited that they were speechless, and some even had tears in their eyes.
"Thank you, thank you very much." A staff member of the embassy and consulate was expressing his gratitude to Liu He, and then handed over the satellite phone in his hand, "We, the ambassador, would like to have a call with you."
“Huh?!” Liu He was puzzled as to why this happened. He quickly looked for Xu Chuan in the crowd, but he couldn’t find it anywhere.
Of course Xu Chuan didn't know about Liu He's situation. He was talking to Luo Jialing on the phone, "Why are you here again? Aren't you in Kuala Lumpur? Xu Zhengyang can really do it."
“I can’t help it. I have worked here before and am familiar with the situation here.” Comrade Luo Jialing was not in good spirits. She had not slept well for several nights.
Xu Chuan chuckled and said, "Come on, Xu Zhengyang's position will be yours from now on."
“Haha, this is not funny at all.” Boss Xu has started to lose his hair recently, and Luo Jialing doesn’t want to be like him at all.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Do you have any clues about the attack in Ajdabiya?" Despite her young age, Luo Jialing had previously conducted intelligence work in Africa and the Middle East.
"You might as well ask Boss Xu, how can I have time to take care of this recently?" The embassy is about to be evacuated, and now there are tons of documents that need to be destroyed.
Xu Chuan thought for a while, he would not take the initiative to contact Xu Zhengyang, are you full? "Think again, if my nemesis will come to Libiya."
“Oh, it’s great to congratulate you. I will go to the banquet whenever it is held.”
Damn, can you still talk properly? Is this woman here? "I'm worried about those workers who may have attacked them. There are still so many people who haven't evacuated. What if something happens again?" "
"I believe you." Of course Luo Jialing understood that the person opposite was not an enthusiastic person. "I saw a piece of news before that someone discovered that the Russian nationalist party has signs of activity again."
“Thank you, I’ll treat you to dinner later.” After getting the news he wanted, Xu Chuan hung up the phone and knew that this woman must know something.
Russian Jiduan Nationalist Dang, founded by Zakayev, was severely purged by Lao Maozi after his death. Members were either killed or surrendered, but some people still hid.
Xu Chuan immediately thought of Vladimir Makarov, whose arm was broken by himself. He had asked people to find him before. He had to do everything in his work. How could he leave a disaster behind?
But this guy seemed to have disappeared from the world, with no trace at all. If it was him, it would indeed make sense. Xu Chuan never expected that Umbrella could hide behind the scenes and remain unknown. That was impossible.
‘Then could it be him, or is this matter really aimed at Umbrella?’ Xu Chuan thought about whether he should try to find a way.
“Hey, it’s almost done, we’re leaving right away.” Xu Chuan stood in front of the car and greeted everyone. It was not suitable to stay here for a long time. He had already seen someone taking pictures with a camera.
Dozens of vehicles were escorted by armed people, which is rare, not to mention that there are several Chinese people among these armed people. That is to say, there is no self-media yet, otherwise it would have been on the hot search.
After talking to Smith, he was still ready to test it out. Amidst the cheers of the crowd at the port, several off-road vehicles and pickup trucks drove out.
"We don't have much time. We were caught off guard, and the other party was also not fully prepared. Let's go back along the Arubach Road. I guess they will set up an ambush near Benghazi University. Because there is no hiding place after that. ." Xu Chuan looked at the map above with the tactical terminal.
“Boss, what if they set up an ambush somewhere other than Benghazi University?” Zhang Biao turned around and asked from the front seat.
"Then you go attract firepower and cover the retreat of others." Xu Chuan replied without even raising his head. He couldn't read a map. The road conditions in the previous section were complicated. If he wanted to block all the intersections, he would definitely need more manpower than As a company, he didn't think the other party could mobilize so many armed personnel in a short time.
