Tikrit, this city is located 160 kilometers northwest of Baghdad and is Saddam's hometown.
On the khaki dilapidated avenue, a brown off-road vehicle was driving quickly.
It was Gordon who was driving the car, and Martin was sitting in the back seat, the two of them alone in the car.
Looking out the window in boredom, Martin's head was thinking about the oil field negotiation.
Fifteen kilometers away from Tikrit, a fork appeared on the left side of the road. There was a road sign next to the fork, which said in Arabic: There are still 2 kilometers to the town of Dawar.
Davar Town?
Martin was stunned.
Seems familiar?
Then I remembered, isn't this the place where Saddam was captured by the US military in Martin's memory?
The off-road vehicle drove into the city of Tikrit.
This city was also a key target of the American and British coalition forces. It was full of ruins and numb people wandering on the streets.
The pain caused by the war has long been replaced by the need for survival. In this city lacking food, people will even bleed for a piece of bread, and"death" is no longer scary.
Gordon and Martin's SUV attracted attention as soon as it entered the city.
Someone 04 came closer, with a look of longing on his face. A mother held up her daughter and shouted:"Please, please take her away. Please, please take her away. She is very sensible and smart. She can become A qualified maid!"
There was also an old man, holding up an open empty bag and shouting:"Please give me something to eat, just a piece of bread, just a piece of bread……"
More people looked greedy and approached the car with kitchen knives, wooden sticks and other simple weapons in their hands.
It wasn't until he saw the window of the off-road vehicle lowered halfway and a dark gun barrel sticking out from the inside that he backed away in horror.
Martin in the car shook his head and sighed:"War is really terrible. Once the order is destroyed, it will not be rebuilt overnight."
Gordon echoed:"Destruction is easier than construction. This war takes a lot of time." It's so sad to lose American taxpayers' money and destroy the social order in Iraq just for the benefit of those capital groups!"
Martin said:"Because capital represents this country!"
He thought in his heart:"Maybe in the future I can do it too!"
The car drove into the city center.
Martin put away his gun.
The situation here is slightly better than outside the city. There are still people doing transactions on the roadside, but whether they are selling things or buying things, they all bring a large group of people and look at each other warily.
Obviously, there is no law and order in this city!
Occasionally, Martin could see some men wearing traditional Islamic costumes secretly giving small leaflets to people. There was even a bold guy who came to the side of the car and stuffed two leaflets through the gap above the car window. I also secretly observed the people in the car.
Martin picked up the flyer and glanced at it. It was about the Islamic extremist organization.——"The propaganda slogan of"Islamic State".
This organization claims to be a branch of Al Qaeda. In the future, it will fight with the Iraqi puppet government supported by the United States until 2019, because of the special capture operation of the leader Baghdadi by the US military. was shot dead, and the American army claimed that this organization had been wiped out.
But in fact, this organization survived as tenaciously as weeds. The leaders of the organization died one after another, but there were still successors one after another to lead the organization again. Organization.
In 2019, after Baghdadi’s death, the"Islamic State" appointed Qaradash as its new leader. On
January 21, 2020, Qaradash was killed, and the"Islamic State" appointed Sarbi as its new leader. Leader.
A year later, Salbi was killed in an operation, and Abe Hassan Hashemi Quraysh became the leader of this organization. On
November 30, 2022, the"Islamic State" announced its supreme leader Abe Hassan Hashemi Quraysh died, and his successor was Abe Hussein Hussein Quraysh. On
August 3, 2023, the"Islamic State" announced that its leader Abe Hussein Hussein Nigu Lash died, and the fifth leader of the organization was announced as Abe Hafs Alhashemi Alqureshi's successor.
One after another, it is nothing more than this!
It is true that wild fire cannot be burned out, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates!
""Islamic State" is also known as ISIS because of its extreme methods, which have made all major opposition groups in Central AsiaBe on guard against them, but at the same time be in awe of ISIS's fighting power.
The ISIS army has used guerrilla tactics to annihilate established U.S. troops.
What’s funny is that the leaders and commanders of this organization are mainly from Saudi Arabia, a country that is extremely pro-American, and the combatants are mainly militants from Iraq, Syria, and even militants from Russia and Germany.
However, Martin did not sympathize with this organization because of its extremely brutal behavior-the bombings they created often injured large numbers of civilians, including Sunnis. In the areas under its control, the organization has extremely strict control over civilians, and will implement the most severe punishments for the slightest mistake - such as beheading, stoning (stoning to death), etc. Protesting civilians were also shot and killed.
Throwing the flyer aside casually, Martin said to Gordon:"That guy was targeting us just now. I wonder if they have any contact with Saddam's people?"
Gordon glanced around and saw ghosts around the car. Sneaky people were following. Relying on their numerical advantage and familiarity with the terrain, these people were able to keep up with the car using only their feet.
Gordon said:"We are almost there, do you want to get rid of them?"
Martin shook his head and said:"You can't get rid of 613, their people are everywhere, and they must know where the former members of the Iraqi government are hiding. Just drive right there!"
After glancing at the map, Gordon turned the SUV into a side street, stopped when he counted the sixth house, and pressed the horn four times.
The gate of a courtyard was opened, and two soldiers in robes walked to the car cautiously. Martin rolled down the window with a smile and said in proficient Arabic:
"We were invited by Izzat to discuss the oil fields."
The two soldiers looked at the car and then at the back of the car, showing surprise. There were only two of them?!
How dare two Americans come here?
"Get your car in!"One of them said
"Gordon!"Martin shouted.
Gordon drove the car into the yard.
The yard door was closed, and Gordon got out of the car first. He stood by the car door, put his hands on his waist, and looked around nervously.
Martin opened the door and He said calmly:"Don't worry, we are friends, they will not do anything to their friends!"
Hahahaha~!
A cheerful voice came from inside the house,"Mr. Meyers is right, we will not do anything to our friends."
Following the sound, an Iraqi with a mustache came out.
(Brothers, please take care of me. Please give me some comments, flowers, collections, and rewards. Thank you.)
