Chapter 168 War bonuses

An Feng looked at Fanni with contempt, feeling contempt like "You asked a stupid question."

Fanni began to make up for it automatically. She thought An Feng had gotten some clue of scoop news in advance, so she quietly pulled her to this wilderness and waited for an opportunity to "accidentally meet". She thought An Feng was very concerned about her career, and as for how the other party got the news...

No, we can't ask, when the Federal Court asked the Watergate reporter to name the "Deep Throat" and the two reporters insisted that the Federal Court could not say it, and the Federal Court was helpless about it - because they were "staying silent according to law."

So, if you want to know how An Feng got the inside news, this is indeed a stupid question. There is no need for An Feng to answer at all.

But, why did I fall into a coma at that time? How could I come here? What did you do to me? You didn’t...well?

All of the above are Fannie's right to know, but as the convoy on the opposite side gets closer, Fannie feels that these problems are not urgent. She rolls her eyes and quickly touches her body: "My interview certificate, my camera, ah, we should actually have a camera..."

An Feng pointed to the rear compartment of the Hummer: "Camera? Yes. I'll have everything for you."

The journalist's professional habits finally gained the upper hand. Fanni rushed over and hugged An Feng, kissed him heavily, then jumped onto the road lightly, took off the scarf from his neck, and began to wave it to the opposite side. At the same time, she greeted An Feng: "Take out my reporter's certificate and camera..."

The convoy on the opposite side saw Fanni rushing to the side of the road, and the whole convoy paused for a moment. The leading cars accelerated and quickly came to Fanni. Before the other party could speak, Fanni quickly showed her reporter's certificate and said in a row: "Ah, my boyfriend and I are watching the sunrise here, and we accidentally met you. Where are you going? It's rare that such a big action will occur after the war. Can I interview with the car?"

After a moment of pause, Fanny raised her face seriously and said, "The public has the right to know. We must let the public know where their taxes are spent."

The squad leader of the Pioneer Car, An Feng, handed over the press ID, and immediately lowered his head and asked the commander behind him in the walkie-talkie. After a while, the convoy behind him rumbled into the back. An armored personnel carrier with a star sign stopped on the side of the road. A thirty-year-old man jumped out of the car. This guy was obviously a fan of General Patton. His trousers were ironed in military uniform, and he was holding a big cigar in his mouth. He waved at Fanny proudly and introduced himself: "I am the temporary brigade general of the National Guard of Fremont. Such a coincidence, we were temporarily receiving an emergency mission, a secret operation. Since we met the reporter by such a coincidence... I allow you to interview with the car."

The Brigadier General firmly believed that this was a coincidence. He was called by someone in the middle of the night and then accepted the order to attack. The man and woman on the opposite side were covered in water. Look at this, these two people probably want to be romantic and play in field battles and cars... It's great to be young.

At this time, An Feng was busy at the rear of the Hummer. He took out a camera from the car and brought a flying scarf to block the sand and dust in front of the temporary brigade general - this must be face to face. Otherwise, the army would suddenly see a masked man appear and would be unable to help pulling the trigger.

In addition to the flying scarf on his face, An Feng also took off his golden-wire-edged myopia mirror and replaced it with a pair of large sunglasses - this must be fashionable, luxurious, and... stylish enough to scare the soldiers and officers.

He is wearing German Rottes glasses, which is the most expensive and luxurious customized glasses brand in the world. All glasses are handmade. Of course, the glasses on An Feng's nose bridge are very simple in appearance, neither diamonds nor gold-plated, but just a simple and simple colored metal frame. The ear clips of the frame are also very inconspicuous white buffalo horns.

Well... An Feng's pair of glasses hit the bridge of his nose, and the soldiers and officers couldn't understand its value and rarity. Fanni, who often deals with luxury goods, immediately whispered: "This is shameful... Playboy.

The white buffalo horn frame is one of the most famous frames in Rottes. This white buffalo horn that can be used to make glasses is only produced in southern Germany and is rare and expensive. Before the white buffalo horn is actually made into a frame, it has to go through 130 physical and chemical processes. After it is made, it cannot see the real value in the eyes of ordinary people, but people who know how to appreciate are willing to pay sky-high prices. This is also one of the reasons why Rottes' glasses are rare and expensive.

It is said that the simplest pair of Rotes glasses, just polishing a glass leg requires craftsmen to go over for more than 3 days. The smallest pair of Rotes's screws cost several hundred yuan, all made of platinum, and each can be turned into exquisite earrings. Each pair of Rotes glasses only uses the original platinum screws. After hand welding, it is a long polishing. There is no soldering joint on Rotes glasses, which is natural and almost perfect.

Most of the metal frames of Roster glasses are made of colored metal, which is melted into alloys with metals of each component. The color presented by the frame is completely metallic, and the density of each square millimeter is up to 3 times that of all other glasses. The greater the density, the more delicate it is, the more texture it has...

But Fanni didn't know that this pair of glasses was actually a copycat version. It was made of video glasses imitating Roth's appearance. As soon as the glasses were put on, An Feng's entire face was blocked under the curtain. Then, he pointed the camera at the brigade general with a very professional attitude. The brigade general who originally wanted to ask a few words subconsciously tidy up his clothes and spoke to the camera: "We received a tip last night that there was a violent exchange of fire in the suburbs of Ticrete, and the scale of the battle was equivalent to a small war. It is said..."

The brigade general hesitated for a moment, and a embarrassed expression appeared on his face. Fanni hurriedly chased after him: "What is it said, brigade general, please continue to speak."

The Brigadier spoke hesitantly: "It is said that the cause of the fire exchange was to compete for the spoils..."

Fanni's eyes immediately lit up: "It's a scandal. The previous reporter who reported the prison abuse scandal has become a big star. Now I am so lucky to catch up with another coalition scandal and get this exclusive report. This year's Pulitzer Prize has hope of nomination. Humph, who said fashion reporters can't report the news - look at me?"

Next, the Brigadier General was reluctant to say anything. He enthusiastically invited Fanny to get on his command car: "Is Fanny Davis? Let's get to the scene early, we have been delaying too much time."

The brigadier general turned to the masked man An Feng: "You get in the car too, then whoa, go drive the reporter's car and follow the convoy."

Fanni followed the brigade general into the car and immediately conducted an interview in the car. An Feng, as her assistant and her photographer, fulfilled his obligations competently. When the brigade general saw An Feng's professional work, he forgot to ask about An Feng's identity when he was not careful. He thought An Feng was really the cameraman of the New York Times brought by Fanni.

The convoy was moving. At dawn, the outskirts of Tikrit were quiet, with no gunshots or explosions. This was because the battle had subsided before dawn. Hundreds of surviving Neptune mercenaries were tied with plastic handcuffs like a piece of wood, neatly placed on the barn open space. The broken gates, discarded guns in the yard, and the craters formed after the bomb explosion showed the fierceness of the battle...

The soldiers led by the Brigadier General entered the barn compound without resistance. He immediately commanded the soldiers to occupy the commanding heights... Of course, he had to organize his clothes in front of the camera from time to time, and gave the order with obvious performance elements.

The container truck brought by the mercenary was still parked in the yard. When the brigade general came to the front of the convoy and ordered the soldiers to open the three container doors in the front, everyone present took a breath of air conditioning - what they saw was that bundles of small denominations of US dollars were neatly stacked in the container truck.

The three container trucks were filled with full capacity, and the fourth container truck had only a little space left.

Following the traces of the battle, some people went deep into the air-raid shelter and found that hundreds of millions of dollars had not yet been transported away in the warehouse, as well as some Arab artworks contained in various containers.

The brigadier expressed his opinion on An Feng's camera: "At three o'clock in the morning, we received a report that a fire exchange occurred here. It is said that the two sides of the fire exchange were to grab a batch of spoils. We mobilized eleven companies to stop the fire exchange, and found these..."

Just at this moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly broke out behind the brigade general. Fanni and the brigade general were so scared that they shrank. The soldiers around immediately lay down and looked around in search of the target. Only An Feng, the camera carrying the shoulders was still standing there, recording all the images, including the soldiers' subconscious reactions.

The gunshots rang for a while, and the hollows in the tunnel widened the gunshots, but soon the gunshots subsided. The on-board communication equipment was filled with the shouts of soldiers: "Safe, safe."

After the brigade general stood up awkwardly, several messengers ran from behind and reported loudly to the brigade general: "Your Excellency, we found several welded doors. The traces of the electric welding on the doors were new. The soldiers used cutters to cut the welded door bolts and found that there were living people inside, but they immediately fired at us... At present, we have controlled the situation, and the other party's resistance has been disintegrated..."

After a moment of pause, the soldier continued to report: "We found seven living prisoners, and in the several houses welded, more than forty soldiers who were suffocated due to hypoxia..."

The soldier whispered the name of a security company and continued: "They are mercenaries of this security company."

The brigadier waved his hand: "Save immediately and ask clearly the battle situation. Whether the quarantine officer has counted the supplies."

Fanni keenly grabbed the other party's words and immediately asked: "Brother General, the party that exchanged fire seems to have found out, it seems to be the Aquaman Fork Security Company. Can you tell me your guess? It's just a guess, just your opinion."

The brigadier hesitated and said hesitantly: "When we arrived, the firefighting had subsided. We don't know when the firefighting had subsided. Only the wounded soldiers of the Aquaman Fork Security Company and the survivors of their company were left on the battlefield. We still don't know who they are. However, judging from the weapons at the scene of the firefighting, they were using American weapons.

If I were to make a guess, I guess when we came, the fighting side had already taken control, and the mercenaries of the Neptune Fork Security Company had been completely disarmed. But because we came so fast that the winners had not had time to enjoy their loot—yes, I made this guess because, since the firefighting ceased, no convoys on the ground had been found on the ground, and no large armed gangs had evacuated from the area."

Fanni immediately grabbed the other party's words again: "Brother General, what you mean is that when you received the tip, someone passed the news to both sides of the fire exchange at the same time, so the winner of the fire exchange carried out an emergency retreat, and you did not capture their tails."

The brigade general's face was very calm: "Yes, I guess this is the case. You must know that if the winners in the firefighting are also a security company, our coalition's actions have no secrets to them, our information is shared with them, and they accept military employment and have the right to know any military movements."

Fanni asked: "So, you have determined that the other party in the exchange of fire is also a security company

The brigade general reached out and pointed at An Feng: "Can you turn off the camera?"

An Feng immediately turned off the camera obediently and placed the camera at his feet. The brigadier general tilted his head and greeted Fanni and An Feng: "Let's go and see Saddam's collection together. You are lucky to have entered this battlefield. This is your luck. According to the rules of the battlefield: whoever occupyes it will own it."

What the brigade general said is very obscure. In fact, what he is talking about is the unspoken rule of the army: the individual's seized belongs to him.

This is the battlefield, and no one asked the soldiers to return the seized goods to the public, and then the leaders of the department enjoyed the "public" spoils.

The soldiers sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. They were not cannon fodder or consumables. They had the right to retain their own "war dividends".

Fanny hesitated, twisted, and unconfidently followed the brigade general into the air-raid shelter warehouse. The quarantine officers were counting the containers containing the cash. His eyesight was very focused and he did not see many soldiers put stacks of banknotes into their pockets.

There are billions of deductions here. How much does it cost to put the deductions in the pockets of soldiers? Five thousand or ten thousand? So, even if the soldiers are loaded with too much, it is not worth mentioning.

The brigade general did not approach the cash container, so he led Fanni to the art container. The container boxes containing the art have been opened. While counting, the soldiers put the small items they were interested in in their pockets. The brigade general stood a few steps away from the container box, touching his chin to encourage Fanni: "Go, choose a souvenir, you are also a participant in this war. You have the right."
