Chapter 595 Embassy Crisis
When Farah saw Luke and Alex hugging each other so intimately, she knew that Alex was right.
Alex first came to Uzbekistan and found Farah to seek cooperation.
Farah didn't quite believe her.
This war-torn country naturally knows what kind of people the Americans and the U.S. military are like.
Although Luke is also an American, the cooperation with her seems to be genuine and trustworthy so far.
Importantly, Luke brought in a lot of investment from other countries.
Farah is not against investment from these countries, but she is a leader who grew up in a long battle.
So, naturally, I dislike Alex who represents the CIA.
Farah asked the CIA represented by Alex to show sincerity first.
Since Uzbekistan gained independence, there are still US and Russian military bases in its territory.
Farah has no way of solving these historical problems now.
A weak country has no diplomacy, but this is not just diplomacy, even the homeland has been occupied.
So Farah proposed that the CIA and the US military behind Alex should eliminate an illegal Russian military base.
On the surface, this is the base of another opposition force in Uzbekistan, but it is dominated by the Russian army.
Farah wanted to eliminate the opposition here, but she was powerless.
Uzbekistan is still too weak.
Unlike other countries Luke funded.
Those countries at least have basic governments and armies, and sovereignty is basically in their own hands.
And Farah's taking over of Uzstan was entirely the result of Luke's tricks.
Fast and effective, but later development takes time.
There is no way. Uzbekistan has fought a civil war and anti-Russian invasion war for more than 20 years, and the country is basically destroyed.
Even Afghanistan is stronger than them now.
At least the mountainous areas are still in the hands of the Taliban.
The government army represented by Farah was formed by integrating most of the original rebel forces in Uzbekistan.
It's just better than a mob.
Originally everyone was fighting guerrilla warfare, but now they have been transformed into regular armies and they don’t know how to fight anymore.
Even with Luke's help, it will be a long process for Uzbekistan to return to a normal country.
Fortunately, Luke came in person and gave Farah reassurance.
Farah felt a little uncomfortable just watching Alex and Luke being so intimate...
Luke must have been seduced by this CIA agent...
Farah thought so.
But then at the presidential palace, Luke and Farah explain his relationship with Alex.
Ex-girlfriend...
Farah stared at Alex and Luke with wide eyes.
You are both ex-girlfriend and ex-boyfriend, why are you still so close?
She didn't ask this question out loud.
But Luke and Alex didn't feel awkward.
That night, Alex moved into the hotel where Luke was staying.
The two haven't seen each other for many years, but Alex still remembers Luke's smell...
But now we are all mature people and know what is important and what is not.
Alex also moved in to work with Luke on operations and support matters.
He knew that Luke came here to solve the problem of Uzbekistan.
Before Luke set off, he asked Lilith to notify Frank's team to prepare.
Now according to Lilith's report, Frank's team is on the way to Uzstan.
Owen is Carter's man. His team is ostensibly settling accounts for S.H.I.E.L.D., but in reality it is settling accounts for Hydra.
This matter must go on. If so, Carter will sooner or later discover the trace of Hydra.
If that happens, causing trouble for Hydra will also be causing trouble for SHIELD.
But secretly, Nick Fury is the kind of disgusting person who wants it all.
In fact, he also wanted to find someone to settle the accounts. Many things he did secretly did not comply with the regulations.
This old guy has his hands and feet dirty.
But he didn't find a suitable team to settle the accounts, so he decided not to let Irving's team continue.
Now that the situation between the United States, Russia and the Middle East is so tense, Luke guessed that Nick Fury must be adding fuel to the fire.
But he is not the mastermind. Sometimes he clearly knows what the other party is going to do, but he can achieve his current goal by keeping the news secret.
For example: the London bombings.
Luke couldn't believe that Nick Fury would just sit there and do nothing if such a large amount of toxic substances was stolen.
This guy calls himself the guardian of the earth. It is impossible for him not to pay attention to such a big thing.
Yet, he allowed terrorists to attack London without any warning.
For this reason, Luke classified him as a politician.
Politicians are dirty from the inside out, no matter what color their skin is.
Luke wouldn't like him either, just because so many innocent people died in the London bombings.
What's more, Nick Fury always has an inexplicable feeling of being superior.
Obviously he is just an ordinary person. Luke really doesn't know where he gets the courage to control a team of extraordinary powers.
In the realm of the extraordinary, strength has always been respected, and only when they are similar will they compare other aspects.
The current chaotic situation is what Nick Fury wants to see.
Luke came here just to cut the Gordian knot.
At the same time, the MI6 led by Carter has launched a comprehensive investigation into the London bombing.
Not long after, Luke met the people sent by Carter in Uzstan.
"John? Long time no see."
The people who came were the SAS special forces team led by John Price.
Shakes Luke's hand.
"Long time no see, Mr. Dutton."
The two did not exchange much pleasantries.
After saying hello, get straight to the point.
"We found out that the leader of Al-Qatala, the Evil Wolf, was hiding in Syria. Now we have the same goal: to catch him."
Luke nodded.
Alex also spoke up:
"He's also kidnapped several Marines and is promising to publicly execute them. We need to act fast."
The specific action plan will be implemented by Alex and Price.
US military bases in the Middle East provide ground and air support.
The Marines will also be involved.
On the front battlefield, SAS teams are not very useful.
But Alex, as a coordinator, mainly provides intelligence and coordination work.
The main force of the attack was the United States Marine Corps.
Luke and Farah discuss Uzbekistan's national construction and investment.
When he arrived, Luke contacted Angelica through Marco.
Angelica is now the deputy director of the Russian Federal Security Service.
Luke heard from Angelica that the Southern Military Region and several opposition groups have already joined forces.
Although they haven't completely fallen out, they are in a state of only following orders and not announcements.
Because Bakov holds great power, there is no way to ease the situation for the time being.
Luke assured Angelica that they would solve the problem together this time.
Angelica was worried and gave Luke a secret special forces team.
The captain was Sergeant Kamalov.
Luke accepted Angelica's kindness, but he didn't need the intervention of Kamarov's team for the time being.
Under Alex's coordination, the U.S. Marines and the SAS team led by Price successfully captured the Wolf, the leader of Agatala.
Price and Alex brought the wolf to the American Embassy.
The wolf refused to speak even if it died, and even mocked the actions of the Western countries represented by Alex, Price and others.
The Aqtala organization and the Wolves were also fighters against invasion in the past.
But their methods are too extreme.
Gradually it went off track and finally became a notorious terrorist.
They have carried out many terrorist attacks, but this is the first time they have used a bomb containing toxic substances like the one in London.
The effect is very good, but it also stirred up a hornet's nest.
Regarding this matter, the Queen got up in the middle of the night to personally inquire about the government and summoned the Prime Minister.
This time, neither the Military Intelligence Department nor the National Security Center benefited from it.
But the competition between the two sides is who can eliminate the terrorist leader first.
Obviously, MI6 had a better relationship with the military, and SAS immediately sent its elite troops to assist MI6.
In this situation, it is obvious that the SAS special forces are more useful than the 00 series agents whose hair is still intact after a fight.
Now, due to the escalation of the war, Price and others brought the wolf to the US Embassy.
The embassy also received orders and prepared to evacuate.
There were not many people on the streets, and there were many Syrian soldiers guarding the surrounding roads around the embassy.
As night fell, everything became quiet.
The people at the embassy are still organizing various documents in an orderly manner.
But Price, with his years of combat experience, felt that something big was going to happen.
Alex then received a communication request from Lilith.
Then he took out the equipment given by Luke and contacted Lilith.
"According to analysis of drone and satellite images, armed personnel are gathering around the embassy. Please be prepared for battle."
Alex hurriedly found Price and the ambassador and explained the information.
The ambassador did not believe that the anti-government armed forces would attack the embassy, especially since there were government soldiers outside.
But Price and a team of Navy SEALs inside the embassy thought otherwise.
They also vaguely sensed the unusual atmosphere around them.
Therefore, they did not relax their vigilance, but gathered all the combat-capable personnel and weapons in the embassy.
They are all elite, SAS and Navy SEALs, and no one is willing to give in to the other.
Seeing that both sides were so cautious, the ambassador became a little worried.
Finally it was decided to gather all the staff in the embassy together.
Let Alex and others make a safety plan.
Just as Alex was worried, the ambassador received a call.
I don’t know what the other party said, but after hanging up the phone, the ambassador’s expression became serious.
He solemnly handed over the defense matters to Alex and others.
Just as Alex was preparing to discuss a defense plan with Price and the Navy SEALs, Luke called her personally.
"The attack on the US military base is probably a delaying tactic by the other side. The difficulties you will face will be greater than you think."
"Don't worry, dear. I won't let anything happen to you. Trust me."
Alex had no doubt about Luke's words.
"There are limited weapons in the embassy and the SAS and SEALs don't carry much ammunition."
"Make a count and report to Lilith as soon as possible. The nearby roads have been blocked. The opposition and government forces are fighting. I will arrange an airdrop for you."
"Ok."
After hanging up the phone, Alex hurriedly relayed Luke's words to Price and the SEALs.
Fortunately, both sides used American equipment, but they lacked spare parts and ammunition.
Alex passed the statistical results to Lilith.
"Received. Please keep the communication channel open. I will arrange airdrops in advance."
Just as the sun was about to set, Lilith's voice came from the communicator.
"In 10 minutes, the garden area inside the embassy will be ready to receive airdropped supplies."
When Alex, Price and others arrived at the embassy garden area, they soon saw planes in the sky.
The C130 opened its hatch and two airdrop boxes were dropped.
The plane circled and then returned.
This time the airdrop contained another box and a group of personnel.
The plane was not flying at a high altitude, and the supplies and personnel landed accurately in the embassy area.
In addition to the supplies, the people who jumped down were a team led by Frank.
Price felt somewhat relieved when he saw that it was an old acquaintance of Luke.
But this time Frank's team did not use such advanced equipment.
Most of the weapons are general American equipment, similar to those used by Price and the Navy SEALs.
When he saw the person coming, he immediately found Alex and explained the situation.
Alex was still a little touched in his heart.
She knew that this was someone Luke sent to protect everyone, but in reality, she was still worried about her safety.
But Alex has been working as an agent under Laswell for a long time, so his combat skills are no problem.
Laswell belongs to the US military, and for Alex, combat skills are more important to her.
After long-term training, Alex's combat skills are not inferior to those of the Navy SEALs.
As night fell, Alex sat in the command center, looking at the tablet and becoming increasingly worried.
Satellite and drone images showed that at least a thousand people gathered in the area around the embassy.
And as time goes by, the number is increasing.
But they could only watch and could not do anything else except reinforce the bunker.
As long as the other side fires first, they can fight back.
But as long as the other party does not open fire, they are civilians.
They can't strike first anyway.
But gradually, those people began to approach the embassy.
At some point, the government troops outside the embassy disappeared.
Those who surrounded the embassy, weapons in hand, slowly approached the embassy.
Flares were fired into the air, illuminating the surrounding area.
Crowds of people flocked to the embassy.
Now we have to fire warning shots.
Just after the Navy SEALs fired warning shots, the other side opened fire from somewhere else, and then things got out of control.
Intensive fire was directed at the embassy.
This opening of fire prompted armed forces inside the embassy to also open fire.
The ambassador also received news that the nearby US military base would send ground troops to help them leave the embassy the next morning.
They had to defend the embassy that night.
The people near the embassy were quickly eliminated, but there was still a steady stream of people rushing towards the embassy.
The enemy had a huge numerical advantage, and with the cover of night, they were often not discovered until they were very close to the embassy.
Just when everyone thought they were about to be broken through by the enemy, Luke's support arrived.
The three women in the team each took a tablet and started tapping frantically...
A high-altitude drone launched several air-to-ground missiles, creating a no-man's land around the embassy.
Not to mention, this really shocked the terrorists who besieged the embassy.
But this was only a short-lived relief.
The terrorists began using mortars.
