Chapter 100 Coming
2017 7 Month 9 Day.

Baghdad.

The target is most likely hidden in Baghdad, so the first stop is of course Baghdad.

The main difficulty of this operation is not the assassination, but how to find the target, so this mission is more of a search business than a killer business.

Therefore, not being able to carry weapons is not a big problem. As long as Saib can be found, he can buy a gun temporarily in Baghdad. Besides, Gao Yi doesn't need a gun at all.

"So hot……"

After getting off the plane and being directly exposed to the scorching hot air of Baghdad, Gao Yi felt like he was being roasted in a frying pan.

It was dry and hot, way too hot.

After years of war, Baghdad suffered great damage, but after several years of recovery, Baghdad is not so dilapidated now, at least it looks okay near the airport.

Gao Yi looked at Luca, Luca looked at Lin Xianghua, and Lin Xianghua looked at Gao Yi.

I was in Los Angeles yesterday and arrived in Baghdad today. The main point is that I just do what I say.

But if you ask me if I have any plans, the answer is no.

Gao Yi felt that since Luca had been a middleman for so long, he should know what to do after arriving in Baghdad.

Luca felt that Lin Xianghua was a mercenary. He had been to the Middle East before, and he had to have some ideas about what to do when he arrived there.

Lin Xianghua was simple, he just listened to Gao Yi.

In general, it's a jack of all trades, a half-wit, and an amateur.

"Let's find a cool place to eat first!"

As a boss, Gao Yi made a decision that would never go wrong. Luca was obviously relieved, while Lin Xianghua just nodded silently.

Gao Yi looked at Lin Xianghua and said, "You've been here before, where would be a better place to go?"

Lin Xianghua hesitated to speak.

Gao Yi said impatiently: "If you know it, just tell me. Why are you acting like a bullied wife?"

Lin Xianghua whispered, "I came here before with a mercenary group. Although it was a mercenary group, it was nominally an American PMC company. When we arrived in Baghdad, someone would pick us up. We would eat and sleep. Several people would squeeze into one room. We would stay there for a day and then leave for Mosul. We would fight a few battles and then withdraw. When we got back to Baghdad, we would eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and wait for the flight to be arranged before going to the United States."

After saying that, Lin Xianghua said unconfidently: "So I don't know much about Baghdad."

Gao Yi wiped the sweat off his face with his hand, and then he found that although he felt hot, he did not sweat much because the sweat evaporated quickly after it fell.

This bunch is unreliable.

Gao Yi left the shade. He waved at the line of cars in front of him and shouted, "Taxi, taxi, any taxi available?"

Immediately, a man in a robe got out of the car, held the door, waved his hand and shouted, "Boss, here... here!"

The man in the long robe driving the black car spoke Chinese, and based on these two sentences, Gao Yi decided to use his car.

The three of them walked quickly to a Toyota Corolla, got in, and after Gao Yi sat in the passenger seat, he took a long breath, feeling the life-saving cool breeze coming out of the air-conditioning vent, and said with emotion: "This is a life-saving air-conditioning."

The driver looked very honest. He spoke fluent Mandarin with a slight accent: "Boss, where do you want to go?"

There is a sense of familiarity and intimacy.

Chinese is so widely used nowadays that no matter in a small rainforest town in Africa or in the war-torn Baghdad, there are actually illegal taxi drivers who speak fluent Mandarin waiting to pick up passengers.

Gao Yi looked at the driver, took a look, and said, "I'll hire your car. How much is it for a day?"

The driver was surprised and delighted. He was given a long-term meal ticket. After a brief hesitation, he said carefully but firmly based on his experience dealing with Chinese people: "Two hundred and forty dollars a day, boss. I'll cover the gas."

It was expensive, but the driver left room for negotiation and he thought two hundred dollars a day would be fine.

Gao Yi said without hesitation: "I'll give you three hundred dollars a day, but you have to be on call at any time, including at night."

The driver's eyes widened in surprise, and then he quickly said, "No problem!"

Luca didn't understand, but he watched the conversation between Gao Yi and the driver. After noticing that the driver's expression was too happy, his extraordinary sense of smell immediately made him discover something unusual.

"What are you talking about? Did you overprice the price?"

Gao Yi said to Luca, "He wants 240, I'll give him 300."

Luca's eyes widened and he asked in astonishment: "Are you crazy?"

The driver suddenly switched to English and said, "No, three hundred includes the night. This price is very reasonable." Luca and Gao Yi were speechless again, and then they both nodded.

A taxi driver who speaks three languages ​​is worth the money.

The car started to move, and Gao Yi asked the driver: "What's your name?"

"Ali."

It seems that these drivers have no other names, and Ali, a simple and easy to understand name, has almost become their unified name.

Gao Yi exhaled and said, "Ali, we...are in Baghdad for the first time. Where should we stay and where should we eat?"

"It's safer to go to the Green Zone, but hotels in the Green Zone are much more expensive. I have a Green Zone pass, so it's okay for me to stay inside the Green Zone. If you want to stay cheaper, you can go outside the Green Zone. Baghdad isn't too dangerous right now. I know a good hotel with air conditioning and a generator. Even if there's a power outage, there's air conditioning."

Ali talked for a while, then he laughed and said: "If you just want to eat, you can go anywhere, but if you want to drink, you can only go to the Green Zone. The only problem is that it is very expensive."

There is nothing to ask about this.

Just at this moment, the phone in Gao Yi's bag rang.

It was not a mobile phone, but a satellite phone. Gao Yi hurriedly opened the small bag and took out the phone. He glanced at the number and then looked at Ali, but hesitated whether to answer it.

This phone is a satellite phone provided by Martin, which allows Gao Yi to make calls anywhere in the world. In addition, this satellite phone can also use the mobile phone's network calls, so Gao Yi does not have to get out of the car to search for satellites before making or receiving calls.

A friend he had just met and a partner with whom he had just established close ties. Since Gao Yi was coming to Baghdad, how could he not say hello to Martin?

Looking for connections before doing anything is not Gao Yi's personal style, but it is the instinct of most Chinese people.

When the driver Ali saw the satellite phone Gao Yi took out, his face froze for a moment, and then he said to Gao Yi: "I am deaf now, but if you feel it is unreliable, I can stop the car and you can answer the phone after I get off."

I like smart people like Ali. Even if the world is difficult, he can live better than others.

Gao Yi answered the phone and said, "Hi, we're here."

"I knew you guys were here, so I called you. How was it, did everything go well?"

Gao Yi said calmly: "We have hired a car and are planning to go to the Green Zone. How is it going? Have you asked the right person?"

It's like this, Martin is from the FBI's intelligence branch. Although the FBI is only responsible for the continental United States, Gao Yi thinks that since Martin is an intelligence officer, he might know colleagues in Baghdad.

If people ask for help and people look for people, they may find a relationship that can be used.

Since Martin was able to get a satellite phone used exclusively by the FBI and then sold it to Gao Yi at an ultra-low price of $20,000, then of course he could probably contact a friend.

There's no harm in trying anyway. Even if Martin can't find it, that's just because his ability is limited. At least Gao Yi won't suffer any losses, right?

"I found a person who was transferred from the FBI to the Department of Homeland Security, and then from the Department of Homeland Security to the Defense Covert Operations Agency in the Pentagon. But I don't know if he's willing to help, because I haven't had time to contact him yet. I still have to find his contact information. Also, since I can find out where he works now, it means that his rank is very low and he may not be of much use. That's what I want to tell you."

Gao Yi had never worked in the workplace, let alone in government circles, so he didn't understand what Martin's words revealed.

But Gao Yi knows that, under the premise that conditions permit, using money to attack people is usually the simplest and quickest way.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Yi whispered, "Okay, contact them. As long as they are willing to help, everything is easy to talk about. You know what I mean."

"Okay, let's get in touch. You guys stay in the Green Zone first, and I'll get in touch as soon as possible."

After the call was disconnected, Gao Yi heaved a long sigh and said with a smile, "Satellite phones are great. I don't have to look for WiFi everywhere like I did last time."

Luca nodded, and Lin Xianghua couldn't help but say, "It's just a little expensive. The one I used was only one thousand dollars."

Gao Yi smiled and said, "But you don't have to pay for this call. I can call back sooner or later, so it's not a loss. Besides, this number is a symbol of status and a reflection of strength."

Luca coughed twice and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's find a place to stay and rest for a day. We'll go to... Ali tomorrow."

The driver immediately asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Luca said calmly: "We want to go to Suela, can you go? If you can go, then go. If not, we can just change the car."

The driver took a breath and said, "Suela? Yes, we can go! But can you add some extra money? Leaving Baghdad is still a little dangerous. Is that okay?"

Gao Yi said without hesitation: "Sure, is there anything I need to pay attention to when going to Suela? Just tell me what you know."

The driver hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "It would be best to hire some guards. Suela's place is still not safe, but other than hiring guards, there are no other problems. Ace Ace has already left, but there will be many checkpoints on the road. You'd better prepare some change. There is nothing else."

It is convenient to find a local person, and paying a few hundred dollars to save trouble is naturally the best choice. Gao Yi no longer has any questions and said, "I will give you 500 dollars after leaving Baghdad. In addition, for your own sake, think carefully about how to ensure your safety."
