Chapter 170 Heroic posture
It is very important who took Abdullah away. It can be said to be the most important thing, even more important than whether it was Khaled who reported the letter.

When Sandman lost his black glove, his opponents, competitors, and enemies fought desperately for it.

Therefore, the fight for Abdullah was unexpected but reasonable. Gao Yi was mentally prepared for this, but he was not particularly prepared to deal with it.

This fact really cannot be blamed on Gao Yi.

First of all, the most unacceptable thing about Abdullah’s kidnapping this time was that he landed in Baghdad, which was a temporary decision made by Gao Yi and Shaman.

Not to mention Shaman's enemies, even Gao Yi and Shaman, the two people who least wanted to see Abdullah get into trouble, didn't know in advance that they would land in Baghdad.

The original destination of this flight was the United States, not Baghdad.

No one on the plane knew they were going to land in Baghdad, and Khaled didn't know either.

So, these people came prepared. They made preparations after learning that the plane would land in Baghdad, and the total time was less than an hour.

What is one hour enough for? Is it enough time to gather the troops, enough time to send the troops from the Green Zone to the airport?

If it wasn't Khaled who leaked the news to his accomplices, and it wasn't Gao Yi, then there were only two possibilities left.

Either there was a traitor around Sharman, or Khaled's accomplices made their own judgment based on various signs, and then combined them with technical means, such as asking people at Baghdad Airport, to find out whether Khaled's plane was going to land here.

But there is a problem. It has only been a short time since Khaled was rescued. Do his accomplices really have such strong mobility and such great abilities?

If Khaled's accomplices were so powerful, they would not have been beaten by Sharman without any chance to fight back.

Therefore, there is only one truth, that is, there is a mole around Sharman, who not only leaked the news of Abdullah's arrest, but also accurately said which airport he would land.

Gao Yi picked up the phone and dialed the number he had just used to contact Shaman. After waiting for the call to be connected, he said anxiously, "Your Highness! There is a traitor around you. Find the traitor around you!"

First state the conclusion, pass the buck, and then tell us what happened.

Gao Yi continued, "All your men are dead, and Abdullah was kidnapped. The person who kidnapped him was most likely from the CIA, because they are very powerful and their attacks are extremely precise. There were no unnecessary moves throughout the process, and they didn't even waste bullets. From what I know, the only team in the Middle East that can reach this level is the CIA."

Saudi Arabia's National Intelligence Agency is not good enough. It uses high operating funds to support a group of highest-paid agents and purchases obsolete spy equipment at the most expensive prices in the world.

As for their abilities, they can only be described in one word.

Pooh!
This is not what Gao Yi said, this is the consensus of the intelligence community.

So, Gao Yi first passed the blame, then talked about what happened, and then who the opponent was.

And Shaman was speechless.

Shaman also knew the quality of the team he led. Not to mention anything else, they had fought with the Houthi armed forces for several years. Anyone with a clear mind knew how the National Intelligence Agency performed.

Shaman sighed, and then he said calmly: "Abdullah was kidnapped?"

"Yes."

Gao Yi spoke confidently, and then he whispered: "Quickly mobilize the forces and bring him back! Do you have anyone else in Baghdad? Hurry up, the interrogation takes time. How is Abdullah's psychological defense? How long can he hold on?"

No explanation at all.

Gao Yi never explained that it was not them who leaked the secret, nor was he in a hurry to clear himself.

At this time, you can pass the buck, but you have to be skillful.

But don't be quick to blame Shaman for the trouble. It has nothing to do with you, so Shaman has to handle the rest himself.

This saves trouble, but costs life.

Let’s put it this way, Shaman has a thousand reasons to hunt Gao Yi and Khaled to death, but for some reason, he is willing to let Gao Yi and the others go.

But if Gao Yi is in a hurry to distance himself from the matter, Shaman might be in a hurry to silence them.

So, after Gao Yi passed the buck, he immediately acted as if we were all family and said, "I'll do it for you right away. In short, I won't talk nonsense to you at all. I'll do my best to clean up your mess right away."

I asked Shaman why he had the intention to kill at this time, he didn't even have time to beg Gao Yi.

Shaman was really a little confused for a moment, because Gao Yi's atypical familiarity made him a little uncomfortable.

His brain froze for a few seconds, and then Shaman whispered, "We don't have many people in Baghdad, and there are not many people we can trust. I should be able to mobilize some people in a short time, but they..."

Simply put, what Shaman meant was that these people were incompetent.

I can eat and spend money, but I can't do anything.

Shaman exhaled and continued, "I promoted Abdullah from the front-line troops. He has received training from the KGB and the CIA. As an action team, he has performed well in all aspects..."

I feel guilty about saying this.

In fact, Abdullah was originally an action team member, a special operations member of the intelligence unit. He was mainly responsible for taking action and was not very good at things like collecting intelligence.

Shaman took a fancy to Abdullah because of his simple background and because he was easy to control, but most importantly, he felt that Abdullah was a very sharp knife.

At least he looked very good in fighting, his shooting skills were very accurate, he was fast and fierce when he attacked, and he performed well in several actual combats.

That is why Shaman promoted Abdullah and treated him as his confidant, making him the deputy director who did not need to use his brain much and only needed to follow orders and arrest people according to the list.

But how come Abdullah, whom Shaman thought was very powerful, was like a child in front of Gao Yi? How come he had good fighting ability, but in front of Gao Yi, he was just a little bit helpless?

It is hard to say that Abdullah has performed well in all aspects. So the question is, are Abdullah's psychological quality to resist interrogation and his ability to endure torture shown in previous files as strong as imagined?
The information shows that Abdullah would never speak even if he died.

But now, a 50% discount is definitely not enough, and even a 10% discount doesn’t seem safe.

The human mind is very strange. Once you lose trust in someone, you will fall to the bottom.

From never speaking a word to not speaking a word for 24 hours, Shaman's mind just turned a few times and his expectation of Shaman dropped from 24 hours to two hours.

"Well, I think, maybe, perhaps, probably, Abdullah won't speak for two hours?"

After talking for two hours, Shaman finally spoke in a questioning tone.

Two hours.

Gao Yi was sighing in his heart, but he could only express it in a tough way verbally.

"Two hours is not enough, Your Highness. You must gather your people as soon as possible and quickly gather intelligence to find out who has Abdullah and where he has been taken. Also, quickly check the people around you and find out the traitor. This is very important."

Shaman thought for a moment.

A traitor, yes, it must be a traitor.

The sources of the National Intelligence Agency's personnel were too complicated. Shaman had no idea how many of them supported him and who were originally his prince brothers' people.

It is not easy to find the traitor nowadays, because there are too many people who may be the traitor and have the ability to be the traitor.

Shaman hesitated for a moment.

Shaman has the demeanor of a hero.

Because only a hero can do things that ordinary people simply cannot do, especially, a hero can do things that ordinary people dare not do.

Turn around.

Shaman whispered to the three close confidants behind him, "Clean them up. Isolate all those who know that Abdullah was captured and that the plane landed in Baghdad. No, expand the scope to include those who may have been exposed to these two pieces of information."

Shaman did not avoid Gao Yi.

These three people grew up with Shaman. They are not management talents, but they are the ones Shaman can truly trust.

"Your Highness, are they all locked up?"

"No need to lock them up or put them under house arrest. Let them stay alone in their own offices and let them point fingers at each other. It would be best if they can find the traitor, but it doesn't matter if they can't. These people are all..."

Shaman hadn't figured out how to deal with it.

"Kill it?"

One of the subordinates asked in great surprise, because according to the previous practice, the suspected person basically had no way out.

But this time, there are too many people suspected, too many!
Shaman exhaled and said, "No need. Kick them all out of the Intelligence Bureau and transfer them to other units. Start the cleansing today. No, start right now. I want an absolutely clean and pure Intelligence Bureau. The capabilities may be insufficient, but loyalty must be guaranteed!"

After he finished speaking, Shaman said in a deep voice: "From the army, mobilize those soldiers who have no background but have outstanding performance. Soldiers, not officers, are needed to fill the vacancies. You go to the army to select people and eliminate those who are unqualified. You...you are responsible for assembling and commanding a combat team. Go to Baghdad immediately. I will command it personally."

After saying that, Shaman picked up the phone, and then he said to Gao Yi calmly: "Whether there is a traitor or not, it's gone from now on."

Shaman spoke in Arabic, and Gao Yi didn't understand anything, but Mu Tianwen was by his side.

Mu Tianwen was very smart. He did not translate Shaman's words to Gao Yi. Instead, he took a pen and quickly wrote what Shaman said into Chinese characters.

Gao Yi wanted to say something. He wanted to flatter Shaman, but he felt that Shaman might be unhappy if someone heard what he said.

But after thinking about it, Gao Yi felt that Shaman didn't want to avoid him, so he said seriously: "Your Highness's decisive actions, firm determination, and quick response are all beyond my imagination. What can I do?"

Gao Yi volunteered to take the initiative, and his main character is someone that everyone is close to.

Shaman hesitated and said, "You..."

Shaman didn't know what Gao Yi could do.

Gao Yi took the initiative again and said, "I'll ask the National Defense Secret Operations Agency to provide intelligence. In addition, my people are almost in Baghdad. After arriving, we will immediately start the search and rescue operation for Abdullah."

Shaman exhaled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Shaman didn't say thank you.

If you don't say thank you, then there must be a big reward.

Things in this world are impermanent. It's really very impermanent.

After a little thought, Shaman whispered, "Cooperate with our people in Baghdad to carry out the rescue. First, please collect some intelligence from the Americans. We will contact you at any time if there is any progress."

"Okay, I'll contact you later."

Gao Yi hung up the phone. He looked at Khaled, let out a long breath, wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead, and then said to Khaled: "I hope you didn't lie to me, and... do you have any available manpower in Baghdad?"
