Chapter 206 Is the road uneven?
In Kandahar, the most prosperous and commercial street is tantamount to Ahmed Avenue. This is King Ahmed, who founded the State of Afghanistan in Kandahar more than 250 years ago. The street named after Khan is lined with various shops. Merchants from Pakistan, India, Iran and other countries are an important pillar of the prosperity of this street.
In Kandahar, only on this 8-lane, three-kilometer-long road, you can often see all kinds of cars driving. In other cities of Kandahar, people like to walk or ride a kind of human tricycle.
Li Mo took He Xiaoqiang and other four meteor members, and after separating from Michael, he hurried to Kandahar.
On Ahmed Avenue, the usual bustling situation has not been reduced by the Taliban's re-occupation of Kandahar. On the contrary, because of the crazy influx of major forces in the world, there are many strange faces on the road. However, if you look carefully, there is a wisp of sadness on the faces of the local citizens of Kandahar, coming and going in a hurry. It's not the same as usual, for a leisurely stroll on the road. As local citizens of Kandahar, what they need is not the control of the U.S. military or the control of the Taliban. Their needs are very simple, as long as they can improve their living standards.
It's such a small request that the former Taliban regime did not do it, and the later NATO army did not do it. Will the Taliban, who now control Kandahar again, do it? Many people have no confidence! And because of the Taliban's sudden capture of Kandahar, civilians are very worried that a large-scale war will break out next. The sword has no eyes, and the bullets have no eyes. In the war, neither the NATO army nor the Taliban will shrink back from the safety of civilians.
As soon as Li Mo's Hummer entered Ahmad Avenue from the west, he realized the strange atmosphere here.
It is said that a war is about to break out here in Kandahar. People with or without money will flee Kandahar because their lives cannot be guaranteed. But the pedestrian traffic on this road is still the same as before.
Although Li Mo was surprised, he was prepared for it. He is not going to stay in Kandahar. I will rest here for one night today, and tomorrow I will go to Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, and fly back to China from there.
Suddenly, there was a noise not far in front of the Hummer. Li Mo opened his half-squinted eyes and took a look. More than 100 meters ahead, a large circle of people and vehicles were gathering at this moment.
After the Humvear approached, Li Mo looked through the window. The protagonist of the matter turned out to be a woman. Seriously, it should be a Western woman guarded by four tall bodyguards.
When he saw this woman, a string in Li Mo's heart was touched. A long blonde curly hair is gently put on the shoulder. The slender neck is as white as jade, like a proud swan. A melon seed face has the exquisite elegance of a Chinese woman. What attracted Li Mo's attention most was not the cherry mouth, but the blue, pure eyes without a trace of impurities. It's just that at this moment, the pure eyes that make anyone feel ashamed are full of anger. The bridge of Xiu's nose was also slightly wrinkled, as if to express her dissatisfaction.
From a person's eyes, you can see the person's heart. A person with such pure eyes is also flawless in his heart. Who on earth can make such a lovely angel angry?
Li Mo turned to the opposite of the woman. There were four soldiers in desert camouflage clothes standing there.
Li Mo was very surprised when he knew that the target of the woman's anger was a Taliban soldier. In the past two days, Li Mo has also seen a lot of Omar's men, and has not found that there are evil soldiers! Isn't there any misunderstanding?
Li Mo was going to visit Omar directly, and then returned to the hotel. But the current situation made Li Mo hesitate in his heart. He knows that he is not a good person. What's more, he is not a good person. If it's something else, with the relationship between Li Mo and Omar, he won't care about this kind of 'nothing'. But the woman's pure eyes moved Li Mo. The owner with these eyes can't be wronged. Li Mo is a man, still a little male chauvinist. At this time, I met her and had the idea of helping that woman.
However, there are more than 100 people around both sides at present. There are locals and foreigners in Kandahar. There may be hidden the eyes of a certain force. Li Mo doesn't want to expose himself because of a flood of compassion.
After all, a Chinese in Afghanistan has influence on Taliban soldiers, so anyone can guess what is hidden in it!
"Xiaoqiang, go down and have a look. What the hell is going on!" If Li Mo doesn't go down by himself, it doesn't mean that he can't send his men to have a look.
"Yes, boss!" He Xiaoqiang said, opened the door and jumped down.
Five minutes later, He Xiaoqiang returned to the car and told Li Mo the news.
It turned out that the woman, with a bodyguard, kept probing the news of last night near the base of the former U.S. military infantry battalion. The incident was soon known by the Taliban and suspected that the woman was an intelligence agent of a certain country. Nurzai, the military chief in charge of Kandahar, sent someone to arrest the woman back for interrogation.
Li Mo doesn't think there is anything wrong with the Taliban's approach. After all, this is the time before the storm comes. NATO troops have begun to gather around Kandahar Province. In order to prevent the Taliban armed forces from being investigated by NATO, Omar ordered last night to monitor strangers and unexplained people in Kandahar.
What makes Li Mo strange is that the woman with a pair of pure eyes should not be an agent. Judging from the two Mercedes-Benz SUVs parked behind her, and four tall and powerful bodyguards of Kong Wu, this woman looks like a daughter. And if she is an intelligence agent, it's better to do things with such a lot of fanfare. This is not in line with the principle of secret execution of agents.
Anyway, this woman is incrying about the Taliban's attack on the U.S. military base last night. This kind of thing is in Kandahar, and many people hiding in the dark want to know. But no one openly questioned among the residents near the U.S. military base like this woman. So Li Mo felt that there was still something hidden in it.
The dispute between the two sides became more and more fierce. Li Mo looked impatient when he saw the four Taliban soldiers. The AK rifle in front of him has raised the muzzle and pointed to the four bodyguards.
Li Mo secretly said that he was going to suffer! The Taliban soldiers are unwilling to continue to pester and are ready to forcibly take a few people away. If those bodyguards dare to resist, these Taliban soldiers will definitely shoot and kill.
Perhaps in most countries, there is another place that can be reasonable, but this is Afghanistan, Kandahar, which is controlled by the Taliban. Here, Omar is the emperor. He doesn't even pay attention to NATO led by the United States, let alone just a rich family.
Suddenly, Li Mo's eyes lit up. He actually saw someone he knew. Lazak, the escort beside Omar.
Perhaps it is because of the traffic jam on Ahmed Avenue, which has attracted Omar's attention. He sent the escort Razak to bring someone to check.
Razak took four guard soldiers to the center of the crowd. The four Taliban soldiers must have known the guard Razak beside the leader, and quickly and enthusiastically introduced the story. Just ask for Razak's instructions.
The reason why these four soldiers did not forcibly arrest people at the beginning. It's because Omar's surname has changed greatly in the past three years after living in seclusion. I also noticed that the image is an important surname for an organization. If you arrest people on the street unscrupulously after occupying Kandahar, it will be another blow to the Taliban's reputation. So he has been ordering the army to occupy the moral high point recently. Of course, it doesn't count when there is a war.
"Xiaoqiang, go and tell Razak that after you take these people back, don't be rude. Be civilized!" Li Mo ordered. That's all he can do.
Although he has a good relationship with Omar, he can't interfere with the Taliban's actions at will. Especially when the other party is suspected of being a spy. Li Mo, an outsider, can't take action at will. Although he has a crush on that woman, he doesn't want to make a gap between him and Omar for the sake of a stranger. The most he can do for that woman is to keep her from punishment. After all, in any country and power, spies will not talk about human rights.
He Xiaoqiang received the order to get out of the car again. I trotted to Razak. The four guards who had followed Lazak were ready to intercept He Xiaoqiang, who rushed straight away. But he had seen and met He Xiaoqiang's Lazac, and immediately stopped his men' movements.
He is a close person around Omar. Of course, the deal between Omar and Limo and Michael is clear. I also learned that the U.S. Delta Special Team was annihilated by Li Mo and Michael. And the young man who came over was the subordinate of the oriental young man.
He Xiaoqiang walked to Razak and whispered a few words. After listening to this, Razak took a look at Li Mo's Hummer, and then looked at the beautiful woman opposite him. He thought that Li Mo had a love for this woman. A mysterious smile immediately appeared on his face and nodded, "Please tell Chief Li that we will not be rude to women!"
This sentence not only expresses the attitude, but also upholds the authority of the Taliban. Don't be rude to women, but not to be rude to men. I'm afraid the four male bodyguards are suffering.
He Xiaoqiang also thought of this. I nodded and thanked. He was satisfied with Razak's answer. Moreover, He Xiaoqiang didn't care about the life or death of the four bodyguards under the woman. As long as nothing happens to that woman, she will have an explanation to the boss.
Back in the car, He Xiaoqiang reported Razak's answer to Li Mo.
"Ye! Let's go straight to the leader of Omar!" Li Mo knew that this was the best result, so he didn't say much and ordered the meteor team members in front of him to drive.
When the Hummer left, some people in the crowd quickly passed on the message. Just now, He Xiaoqiang and Razak talked intimately, and everyone saw it. A young Chinese man and a Taliban armed officer chatted like an old friend for a while before leaving. This is definitely the most information that many intelligence agents have received today.
