Chapter 212 Firm Faith
Just as Li Mo and his party got into the underground cave in a private house. In the sky outside, there is a series of sonic explosions caused by the high-speed falling of objects.
not to mention Li Mo and others, who have changed their faces greatly, even ordinary Kandahar citizens, after decades of war, understand that it is the sound of bombers dropping bombs.
" Bang..." The violent explosions were deafening, and the whole earth trembled under these weapons invented by human beings.
When Lazak hung the iron cover on the top of the cave at the end, his eyes suddenly shrank, and a bright fire rushed out of the place where the Hummer team was stationed, and a loud sound rolled like a thunderbolt. In the beautiful but threatening firelight, a car tire was thrown high by the shock wave brought by the bomb and drew an arc in the air. It fell on the roof of the house that Li Mo and his party entered dozens of meters away.
"Bah! These Americans really dare to bomb here!" He Xiaoqiang was sprinkled into his mouth by a pinch of dust from the air-raid shelter and spit out a mouthful of dust.
This air-raid shelter is more than 20 meters underground. It doesn't have much space, but it can also accommodate 30 or 40 people. There is no furniture inside except for a table.
The whole space is poured with steel and concrete. Although it can't resist nuclear bombs and several of the most advanced drilling bombs, it is enough to resist the 'Jewel Road' laser-guided bombs dropped by the U.S. military at this time. Unless the United States throws the so-called 'drilling king' super-bubble bomb here. This super bomb, which can easily penetrate 300 meters underground, is definitely the nemesis of the vast majority of air-raid shelters.
The U.S. military bombing attack lasted for about half an hour. The whole Kandahar trembled under the modern war machine, and countless public and civilian buildings were destroyed by the U.S. military as suspected Taliban military targets. The casualties of Kandahar citizens and even some foreigners are hard to count at this time.
On that day, the air quieted down again. People who walked around from the edge of death walked out of the hidden places one after another and came to the street that was still full of smoke.
"Abdrash, what's wrong with you?" On the street, an Afghan man in his thirties stood in front of a pile of ruins, stupidly motionless, and even his originally bright eyes were gloomy and full of empty feeling.
The neighbors who had just walked out of the house saw the man and asked him one after another.
"No...dead...all gone..."
At this time, the neighbors looked at the ruins in front of them, and some of the wood was still burning. People who have lived here for decades know that in this ruins, an hour ago, it was still a residential house. It's the home of the man who stood there talking to himself.
"Abdrahid, where are your wife and children?" One of the people who had a good relationship with the man suddenly found that he did not see Abdrashi's wife and three children, and couldn't help asking.
"Dead... It's gone... It's all dead... Whoo-hoo... It's all dead..." When Abdrashi heard the neighbor's question, an indescribable pain flashed in his eyes, and the last big man covered his cheek and cried.
The neighbors around me suddenly fell silent. Abdrashi's wife was originally a beautiful and virtuous woman, but in just half an hour, a living person died!
Thinking of this, whether it's a man, a woman, an old man or a half-size. While they are full of sympathy for Abdrahi, they are also full of hatred for the U.S. military that caused all this.
"Abdrashi, my condolences! You should stand up again to avenge your wife and children!" The neighbor who first asked, walked to Abdrashi, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice.
Yes, revenge! Who is the enemy? It's Americans! They are all damn Americans, otherwise Elsa wouldn't have died, and there were three young and lovely children!
The neighbor's words hit the ignorant Abdrashi like a blow. A chilling light burst out of his eyes, and the original dissipated spirit returned to his body in an instant. A belief, a belief in avenging his wife and children, let Abdrashi find the motivation to live again.
After saying goodbye to his neighbors, Abdrahi took a firm pace and left this place where he had lived for decades, where there were countless joys and happiness, and embarked on a bumpy road of revenge.
In front, it is a Taliban station in Kandahar. As a native of Kandahar, Abdrashi certainly knows this place... Li Mo also walked out of the bomb shelter after the American bombers left. When you come to the surface of the earth, the place you look at is full of burning fire and unpleasant smells.
When the group came to the roadside where the Hummer stopped, they could only see the wreckage of three Hummers. And there is only a little 'essence' in the burning iron ball.
On the street, the local citizens of Kandahar in twos and threes all walked along the street in one direction. Many of them had no other expressions on their faces, but only resolute and hatred.
Li Mo and his party stood on the street and looked at a group of people heading towards the city center. They all fell into silence. No need to guess, everyone knows what happened.
Li Mo is powerless to change this kind of thing. He only prayed from the bottom of his heart that these people with hatred could live safely!
"Let's go back to the hotel!" Li Mo waved his hand, and the group got on several cars knocked off the roadside and left in an instant. As for these car owners, they will naturally be compensated by Razak, a member of the Taliban.
The more the convoy moved towards the city, the more dense the citizens on the street became. When it came to Ahmed Avenue, the flow of vehicles and people even caused traffic jams.
The sound of the horn was mixed with people's crying and scolding, giving Li Mo a living war lesson.
For these Afghan people whose homes and relatives and friends were destroyed by the war, Li Mo has only a firmer heart in addition to sympathy.
At this moment, Li Mo is in the bottom of his heart that his ambition for the arms industry is becoming more and more tenacious. Isn't the reason why the United States is so unscrupulous is that the United States is the only superpower in the world? Without constraints, acting with the powerful and advanced military weapons and strength of the United States will certainly not take into account the life or death of a few people. And Li Mo secretly made up his mind that he must make the cause of general fire bigger and stronger, in order to reach the level of even surpassing the technology of the United States and arm the whole world. When everyone's military strength is similar, even the United States will not bully the weak like today! Just like nuclear weapons, if everyone has them, there will be no large-scale conflicts, and if one has it and the other does not, it will only be the target of bullying by a family with nuclear weapons!
When there was a decision in his mind, Li Mo took back his chaotic thoughts. He looked through the window of the car and looked at a team of Taliban soldiers outside. These soldiers are all in the ruins, looking for people who may survive. Seeing this, Li Mo praised it secretly. This is the best time for the Taliban to buy people's hearts. Although this idea and practice is a little shameless, even cold-blooded and ruthless. But the reality is so helpless. If the Taliban had the strength to resist the U.S. Air Force, it would not let the U.S. bombers commit such a crime. When you don't have the ability to resist, you should also save yourself to the greatest extent. If you can get some unexpected benefits, you won't miss it with Omar's cunning and fierceness!
If you miss it once, you can't miss it again! Omar tasted the bitter fruit because of his stubbornness and distrust of the people. He was ousted by NATO troops in a short time. To Omar's disappointment, tens of millions of Afghans did not have much support for the Taliban. After three years of lying on fire and tasting gall, Omar finally saw his mistakes. If he wanted to reach the peak of being in charge of Afghanistan again, he must change himself and change the Taliban.
At this time, it is time to buy people's hearts. Countless local citizens who lost relatives and friends, or without loss, showed a heartfelt gratitude when they saw the Taliban soldiers bravely helping the survivors.
And more and more Afghans, who have lost their loved ones, come to the place where the Taliban soldiers gather and ask to join the Taliban. They once fought for a soldier, fought against the Americans, and avenged their dead relatives!
It took another half an hour before the convoy slowly drove outside the door of the Kandahar Hotel. Looking at the intact hotel, He Xiaoqiang and Lazak looked a little sad, and soon disappeared. If the scene just happened again, the two would still insist that Li Mo go to the air-raid shelter to hide.
Although it is already 10 p.m., in this night, even the babies in Kandahar City did not sleep. I have just experienced the 'baptism' of war, the grief and fear of the destruction of my home and the killing of my relatives and friends. How can I have the heart to sleep?
Even the foreign businessmen staying in the hotel did not fall asleep. No one can sleep now. No one knows that the U.S. military bombing opportunity will not come to Kandahar again. If the U.S. Air Force bombs here again after falling asleep, I'm afraid it will be bombed to death, and I'm still dreaming of spring and autumn.
In the hotel lobby, familiar foreign businessmen sat together, talking about the U.S. military bombing here just now. Some people who don't care about themselves evaluate with an aside attitude. People who are close to the United States dare not praise the accuracy and power of the U.S. bombers at this time. If you dare to say that, I'm afraid you will be immediately pulled to the street by the local staff in the hotel and tear the angry Afghans to pieces!
Li Mo and his party stepped into the hotel. ** He felt a few contemptuous glances paused from his body for a while. It seems that he laughed at Li Mo for being afraid of death. He didn't dare to stay in the hotel and ran out to take refuge.
He Xiaoqiang and others also noticed the eyes of this meaning. Following the incoming line of sight, they stared at the foreign businessmen who despised them and raised their submachine guns.
The threat of force is indeed the most direct and effective! No matter how powerful these foreign businessmen are in the outside world, they dare not conflict with a group of strangers with guns at will in Kandahar. After all, life is the most important thing. It's not worth it to be beaten to death here!
