Although they don't know how they came here all of a sudden, the two of them knew that they definitely didn't come here because they knew their secrets. Otherwise, as soon as they came up, they would definitely start searching for things, Now, they look more like they're playing pompously.

Hades is just playing prestige, this attack made him very angry, especially the fat was eaten by the paratroopers, let them eat the rest of the marines, so interrupted that flag, his The anger in my heart finally calmed down, and then, looking at those oil workers, as long as the other party declared that this is not the territory of Iraq and they are an act of aggression, Hades can show his talents even more.

It's a pity that the other party didn't. After the flag that was still fluttering fell, the expressions of the people here changed.

The older-looking man in his 40s leaned over and said, "Welcome to our drilling platform for inspection, and we will definitely cooperate with the inspection by our soldiers."

Junior soldiers?When did our side become their soldiers?Hades had a feeling of wanting to laugh, and felt that it seemed a little too inhuman for his side to oppress these unarmed oil workers by force.

"Why do you still raise that flag? Don't you know that the current Rajavi government has changed to a new flag?" Hades asked with a dark face.

"It's like this. We are at sea and need to know the wind direction and speed at all times. That flag is for us to see the wind direction." The middle-aged man said.

"In the future, the flag of the Rajavi government needs to be hoisted." Hades said: "Otherwise, the next time we fire, it will not be just that flag."

"Yes, yes, for sure." The other party replied nonchalantly.

Hades looked at the other party's statement and was very satisfied. He led the people and walked towards the stairs, preparing to go down to the second floor to check. Since it is an inspection, he has to look at them one by one.

Seeing that they were about to go downstairs, Zade saw Mansouri as if his brain was rusted, and he didn't know how to lead the way, so he had to follow the fierce officer and lead the way. Although he was not very familiar with this place, anyway The other party had never been here before, so he just walked around and passed by. He has very rich experience and has already seen the purpose of these people.

Hang the flag of the new zhèngfǔ, then agree to it first, anyway, your side will slip away at night, and hang whoever you like.

"What is the daily oil production of this drilling platform?" Hades asked.Since he came to check, Hades casually asked about the data.

Unexpectedly, this question shocked Zade. He only knew that the annual oil production of these drilling platforms was still an approximate figure. How would he know how much oil this drilling platform would produce?

However, he knows that there must be no problems now, otherwise, the other party will definitely see the flaws, so he immediately said in a very relaxed tone: "Our drilling platform is now in stable production, with a daily output of [-] barrels of crude oil. .”

Hearing this, Hardist suddenly became suspicious. The Japanese production is only [-] barrels. Do you think this figure is very high?Although it is more difficult to mine offshore than on the ground, it is the same to drill wells from above and then extract oil. Because the oil here is extremely rich, has large reserves, and high pressure, it is very easy to mine, although Kazakhstan Diss is not an official oil worker, but he has also stayed in an oil field on land. Judging by the thickness of the pipeline, the daily oil production here should be around [-] barrels. You know, this platform, But here is the largest oil platform.

Is the other party fooling himself?Here, when his own side receives it, the crude oil produced in Japan will definitely increase even more. He then looked at the middle-aged man beside him. His face is round and well maintained. It doesn't look like it is exposed to the wind and sun every day at sea. The appearance of the oil worker, on the contrary, looks like a person who eats imperial food in a government unit, and, from the way he walks, he can tell that this is still a person with a certain amount of power. There is definitely something wrong with this person!

"This is the rest and living area of ​​our workers." Zade introduced as he walked, "You are welcome to enter for inspection, but it's all men, and it's a bit messy inside."

The inside is not only chaotic, but also very smelly. The helicopters hovering above their heads made them start to panic. Those soldiers with live ammunition made ordinary people have a natural sense of fear. However, seeing the one who came here in the morning The mysterious figure was talking to these people, and they were very intimate, and they were also relieved.

Hades stared sharply at this place. These are real oil workers. There is a kind of fear in their eyes. This is a normal reaction, so there should be no problem here.

Walking forward again, in the computer room, the soldiers searched, but found nothing special. Finally, they came to the door of a room in the corner.

"Open here," Hades said.

"This is just an ordinary warehouse, full of spare parts, and quite dirty..." At this time, Mansouri had already reacted, and followed up and said, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Hades :"Open."

"I can't find the key..."

"Pry it open!" Hades gave an order, and a marine behind came up, took out a multifunctional dagger,

Zade's complexion gradually changed. As long as he opens this door, his secret will be exposed. The gold, in terms of value, is not enough to kill him, but it will reveal his identity, which is the most important thing. Yes, even if he brought US dollars, he could pretend to be a rich man, but only special people can get these gold.

Zade watched the other party slowly pick the lock open, knowing that it was troublesome now.

Suddenly, he ran backwards, and after only two steps, he reached the edge of the platform, ready to jump off.

In his capacity, being caught by the other party may be a death sentence. Although jumping into the sea is very dangerous, it is better than staying here and waiting for death.

It's a pity that before he jumped down, his arms were supported by two powerful hands, and then the cold muzzle of the gun was pointed at his forehead.

"It's very cold down here. If you jump down, you'll be frozen in less than half an hour." Hades said with a smile. Although summer in the Middle East is very hot, it's January now, and the sea water Still cold.

"Boom!" The door of the cargo compartment was opened, and several boxes were clearly placed inside.

"What are these?" Hades actually recognized them. There were some crooked words written on them in Persian, and he probably knew what they meant.

"Wow!" Immediately after opening it, a dazzling golden light appeared, and there were actually gold bars inside!

"How did these gold bars come from?" Hades looked at Zad and Mansouri jokingly. He had already guessed that the helicopter that the boy mentioned must have come to this oil drilling platform. , is to transport these gold bars, and transport them here, and then go out to sea by ship?In other words, are the two people in front of you planning to abscond with money?

If the search is for US dollars, the target is not very obvious. After all, many people can get US dollars, but gold bars are not available to ordinary people.

"Let's go, it's the first time I know that an oil rig can produce gold bars," Hades said.

Zade's complexion was already ashes.

Seeing the opponent's appearance, Hades winked. Immediately, a soldier took a dagger and rubbed it on Zade's neck, and a blood mark came out. At this moment, Zade felt his neck There was a sharp pain inside, and he thought he was going to be killed. Suddenly, fear occupied his heart, and he said: "I say, I am Zad Abdul, Director of Commerce of Hormzgan Province. , I took these gold bars from the treasury of Hormzgan Province. The governor did not obey the leadership of zhōngyāngzhèngfǔ, and I have completely broken with him. It's just that I didn't expect to meet you here, so I haven't had time to send you away..."

This is a gold bar of [-] kilograms!It's really not reconciled to just send them away like this, Zade can only say this, even so, he doesn't know if he can let the other party let him go, if they kill him, and then divide the gold bars privately, he can only accept it up.

In troubled times, the only way out to get rich is to serve as soldiers. God knows how these soldiers will deal with him.

Hades heard that the guy in front of him was actually a high-ranking official in Holmzgan Province, and, from his mouth, he also showed his admiration for Rajavi zhèngfǔ?It seems that in these areas, people still yearn for zhōngyāngzhèngfǔ?Although you can't trust the other party just based on a few words from the other party, what the other party said is still somewhat true.

"Is what you said true?" Hades asked with a smile, but there was a murderous look in his eyes.

Chapter 939 Scrambling for Gold

The shelling operation started at 11:30 noon, and at [-]:[-], the fighter planes started bombing, and lasted until [-]:[-], when the airborne troops and marines began to attack.

The main battlefield of the airborne troops is Qeshm Island, which is the largest island in the Strait of Hormuz. The airborne troops and some members of the Marine Corps took two hours to wipe out all the remaining enemies on this island , where the flag of Iraq was flying.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, the fighting had all ended. In the headquarters in Baghdad, Qusay listened to the good news coming one after another.

This time, Iraq quickly resolved the battle with the momentum of thunder and captured these islands, which represented Iraq's combat effectiveness and reached a new level. They can not only conduct land combat, but also attack from sea to land. In, they are also a ringing fist!

The biggest problem exposed in this battle is the serious shortage of landing ships in Iraq. Qusay will find a way to overcome these. The initial idea is to import design drawings from the eastern powers and start construction in Iraqi shipyards.

The [-]-ton training ship ordered by Iraq has already started construction at this time, and it is expected to be delivered by the end of this year at the latest, and the construction period may be shortened to this summer.

It is not that simple to set up this stall of the Navy.

"Report, the captain of the Marine Corps wants to report to you personally." At this moment, Qusay received a message.

"Just ask him to report to the commander-in-chief," Qusay said.

This time it was just an exercise, so the Marine Corps didn't have too many missions. That Hades must be very unconvinced and wanted to ask for more missions. He wanted to take people to fight Bandar Abbas. Can I agree with myself?This is determined by one's own strategic considerations.

"We have already reported to the commander-in-chief, but Captain Hades said that we can only report to you by leapfrogging because the matter is of great importance."

Even the Minister of Defense has to hide it?This Hades is getting more and more outrageous!Qu Sai said: "Then take it." If he said that he was asking for a mission or something, then I must criticize him. Hades relies on his relationship and his vision is getting higher and higher. Can?

"Hi, I'm Abdullah." Qusay's voice was indifferent, but then, his tone changed completely: "Really?"

Of course it is true, my harvest this time is simply too great!Hades isolated the guy named Zade, and after a very sincere exchange, the other party finally revealed that now, in the capital of Holmzgan, there are five tons of gold, which is the former zèngfǔ Before the downfall, it was transferred here.

Five tons of gold, this is a crazy number.There are gold mines in the Kurdistan province currently occupied by Iraq, but the current production capacity is seriously insufficient, with only about half a ton of production capacity per year, and five tons of gold is equivalent to ten years of production. In Tehran, the zhèngfǔ treasury was empty. In order to raise funds for the war, the former zhèngfǔ repeatedly sold gold reserves.However, they also knew that there must be some leftovers, they were just moved away.

Without the hard currency of gold, there is no way to issue banknotes. In addition, the Iraqi dinar is very strong now. Therefore, in the liberated areas, the banknotes of the former zhèngfǔ are gradually being phased out, and the Iraqi dinar, Qusay He also promised to help the Rajavi zhèngfǔ issue their own currency at an appropriate time.
