Chapter 207 It's not okay to hide here
Omar is now not living in a cave in the southern mountains, but at the foot of a mountain in the northern city of Kandahar, occupying a villa of a rich Afghan businessman who is close to the Northern Alliance and the NATO army.
Li Mo stayed with Omar and left after only more than an hour. In addition to the fact that he doesn't want to continue to be entangled in the whirlpool of Kandahar, Omar's work is also very busy. With the gradual assembly of NATO troops around Kandahar Province, it is time to test the armed will of the Taliban. And the advanced equipment and a large number of NATO troops fight a large-scale frontal war, but the Taliban does not have that ability. Omar didn't even think about waiting for the arrival of NATO troops in Kandahar.
In the room where Omar received guests, Li Mo actually saw an anthology of the founding of China published in Harbin in 48 years on the coffee table. The opening page of this book is a paragraph of On Protracted War.
Li Mo didn't expect that Omar, a peasant-born Taliban armed leader, would learn Taizu's military theory!
At that time, Li Mo was ready to ask Omar why he wanted to learn this. But I didn't ask until I left.
I don't know what the reason is, and I stopped Li Mo from the bottom of my heart.
Leaving Omar's residence, the Humvear quickly drove into the city and crossed Ahmed Avenue again. Li Mo, who was sitting behind the car, suddenly opened his eyes, but he didn't see the figure on both sides of the road until he used Ahmed Avenue.
When he arrived at the hotel, Li Mo's expression changed and was full of seriousness. He Xiaoqiang and the mouse who just arrived standing in front of him understood why the boss had such an expression. It's all because of the news reported by the mouse at the Taliban secret base.
The missing Delta Special Forces has news!
This special forces soldier named Mark is the sniper of this Delta detachment. The most powerful thing is that it is hidden. That's why, last night, other Delta soldiers were either killed or captured, and Mark fled with injuries. According to the answer of the captured special forces, Mark was only hit in the right arm by a bullet, and there was a preliminary treatment at that time, which would not affect Mark's action.
However, when asked how Mark took the body of another Delta soldier, the captured special forces did not know. In this regard, the mouse and He Xiaoqiang, who presided over the interrogation, believed that he would not lie. Because under the torture of the Qing Dynasty, the special forces even kissed the neighbor's girl when he was a few years old.
Li Mo has always been worried about the escaped special forces. If you can't kill him before the U.S. military finds him. I'm afraid it will pose a great threat to the Star Organization. Li Mo doesn't know whether the escaped special forces has contacted the U.S. military in Afghanistan through communication equipment such as telephones.
However, on the night of the war in Kandahar, the Taliban armed forces in Kandahar occupied the communication companies and telephone companies. The operation of the communication relay station was cut off. This soldier named Mark, even if he wants to contact the outside world, is only today.
"Is he really hiding in Kandahar?" Leaning against the sofa, Li Mo cigaretteted another cigarette. Whenever he was thinking about things, Li Mo liked to light a cigarette and 'enjoy' the smoke inhale into his lungs. Under the action of nicotine, he felt a little excited while thinking about important things sharply in his mind.
The mouse nodded and said, "This discovery of Mark's whereabouts was also an accident! After the U.S. military occupied Kandahar, some American businessmen came here. When we searched Mark last night and today, we focused on places where there were more Westerners. And the company factories run by these Americans are another important goal. This trading company, known as Hilli, was established less than a month ago in Kandahar City. Its main business is to transport some cheap goods from the United States here, sell them to local citizens, and then buy fur and specialties from here and ship them back to the United States. The Kandahar branch of Hillai Company is located in the eastern business district of Kandahar, not far from the U.S. military camp. There are mainly merchants from all over the world. In that area, when the U.S. military occupied Kandahar, the local police did not dare to go in and inspect it. Because the people living in it are either rich or noble, which is either related to the current government axe in Afghanistan or with the officers stationed in NATO. In private, local residents call this community the 'All Nations Concession'. Because in this community, there are many businessmen from all over the world, of which Westerners account for more than half. We put our energy in this community. With the assistance of the local Taliban intelligence organization, we found that the Healley Trading Company suddenly closed down this morning. Some of the local employees were hired and went home on holiday. Originally, because a war was about to break out here, it was not normal for these businessmen to shut down for the sake of safety and interests. But strangely, in the whole 'uniorary concession', only Hilly's company is closed for a holiday. Other foreign companies are still operating normally, which arouses our suspicion!"
The mouse said so much that he picked up the cup on the table and drank a few sips of water. After feeling that his mouth was not dry, he continued, "At the beginning, we did not investigate Hillai directly, but privately learned about it with several businessmen from Pakistan and Iran before we knew it. The reason why these foreign companies do not stop working is that they all believe that the NATO army will soon come and reoccupy Kandahar. And they all know that the army serves the economy, even if their company has lost. The top officials of the NATO army will also compensate in other places. And those Pakistani and Iranian businessmen are because their country has a good relationship with the Taliban. This is something that people with a little status know. So they are not afraid that the Taliban will do anything that will harm their interests.!"
The mouse picked up the cup and drank a few more. After he put down the cup, He Xiaoqiang quickly picked up the cup and helped him pour water.
"Because of the abnormal behavior of Hilli, we are very suspicious of it. Even the Taliban intelligence organization doubts whether the Hilli company has anything to do with the U.S. military. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made such an abrupt move. Later, we found several local employees working in Healy Company, and then learned that the company's closure was suddenly announced in the morning by Gilbert, the general manager of the Kandahar Branch of Hillai Company, and there was no manifestation or sign before. At this time, we and the Taliban intelligence immediately decided to arrest a senior management of the Sheeley company to understand the situation. Finally, we quietly caught a vice president of the company. Only then did I know that Gilbert drove away from the company in person this morning, and his whereabouts are unknown! Just before leaving, I ordered the vice president of the company to preside over the company's affairs during the shutdown. If there is anything important, wait until he comes back. After that, we tracked Gilbert's whereabouts. Although we didn't catch anyone, we knew where they were hiding!"
When Li Mo heard this, he quickly asked, "Where?"
The mouse suddenly smiled softly, "Boss, you don't even know where they are hiding! They actually hid in the Pakistani office in Kandahar!"
Pakistan's office in Kandahar? Li Mo really didn't expect that the special forces soldier could be blessed by Pakistan!
For Pakistan to protect American soldiers. Li Mo didn't show much surprise. Because the relationship between the United States and Pakistan is also very close. Although it is not as close as the close 'comrade-in-arms' relationship between China and Pakistan, it is also similar! This is mainly caused by historical reasons. The hostile relationship between Pakistan and India is well known to the world. The former Soviet Union, now Russia. They all have a lot of support for India. And if Pakistan wants not to be defeated in the confrontation with India, it will also pull allies in the world, China and the United States. They are all 'allies' of Pakistan.
The overseas office is different from the responsibilities of the embassy. Generally speaking, the embassy represents the office of a country in that country. Moreover, the duties of the embassy tend to be political, while the office is mainly a commercial dispatch agency. Some are the offices of the company, and some are the offices of a political agency. But in general, the main responsibility of the office is business, and the responsibility of the embassy is political. There can only be one embassy in one country, and there can be more than one office. Anyway, an office, in addition to the office sent by the company, the office sent by the political axe agency, can coordinate some local and domestic political work, and also represents the image of the sending country. In general, offices such as those sent by political axe agencies are within the jurisdiction of ordinary police.
Pakistan's office in Kandahar belongs to a political axe agency. It is mainly to coordinate the bridge between Pakistani businessmen in Afghanistan and the local political axe. It also represents the face of Pakistan in Kandahar. When it comes to major threats, the Afghan police department cannot inspect the office at will.
The reason why the missing Delta Special Forces Mark hid in the Pakistani office in Kandahar may be to see this. Moreover, the relationship between the Taliban and Pakistan is also very close. Everyone is a country in the Islamic world. Like Afghanistan, the full name is the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, while the full name of Pakistan is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. There are also countries that mainly believe in Islam, such as Iran, which also belongs to the Islamic Republic.
And among the Taliban forces, many officers and soldiers are from the Pakistani border and trained by training camps established by Pakistani radical organizations, such as Kalemedin, the captain of the Taliban Guard, who came from Pakistani training camps.
With this relationship, it is generally very safe to hide in the Pakistani office in Kandahar. The Taliban will hardly check here. As long as the limelight passes, or the U.S. military comes, Mark will be safe.
But they don't know yet that there is another Li Mo in the world who is staring at them. As a thorn stuck in Li Mo's heart, it will be uncomfortable if Li Mo is not pulled out. The Pakistan office is not in Li Mo's consideration at all. However, Li Mo did not want to send arbitrary people to rob people from the Pakistani office or kill them directly. He also needs to discuss with Omar first. It is believed that Omar had already received the news from the Taliban intelligence organization. However, the cunning Omar didn't show a trace of talk when Li Mo went to the meeting just now.
