Chapter 155: Find a Way

Gao Guang discovered a problem, that is, people in Baghdad don't seem to like to communicate very much.

The driver said a few words when he got on the bus. After discovering that Gao Guang didn't bring any supplies that were in short supply in Baghdad, he lost interest in chatting, so that Gao Guang couldn't get any useful knowledge from the driver.

It was still too hasty. It only took one day to pack things, purchase supplies, and make arrangements for Mike and Francisco. There were so many things to do that Gao Guang didn’t even have time to learn more about what Baghdad is. What does it look like.

We must know that the way a city appears in the news is always far from the real side. Another serious problem is that the media in the United States that are accustomed to fabricating fake news have lost interest in Baghdad. For particularly serious events, such as a terrorist attack that killed hundreds of people, there is basically no news in this city.

In the United States, a shooting case in which one person is killed does not make the news. In Baghdad, if a small-scale firefight occurs and ten or eight people are killed, it will not be a big deal.

Gao Guang didn't realize the seriousness of the situation. It wasn't until the driver left the airport with the convoy and officially rushed to the city that he realized what a boring and dangerous place was.

There was a loud bang, and Gao Guang suddenly woke up from his drowsiness. Then he saw a white dot appear on the windshield, a white dot that had just been hit by a bullet.

"Shet! These bastards!"

The driver became angry on the spot. He didn't slow down or show any signs of panic. He just cursed at a place not too far away from the roadside.

"Asshole, can't you see the logo of the War Group? Where are you shooting? You sons of bitches, can you aim better!"

Just one bullet hit the windshield, but the vehicle in front seemed to have been shot continuously. The high-gloss rifle was still in the bag, so he subconsciously put his hand on the pistol, ready to draw it at any time. .

The driver cursed for a while, slowed down, bypassed several large cement block roadblocks, and followed the convoy without any intention of stopping or fighting back, and just passed the area where they were ambushed.

Gao Guang said in shock: "Can you tell me what happened?"

"Someone is waiting to teach the people of Thunder Company a lesson. Last week, Thunder Company just killed the son of the deputy of the boss of some armed organization and several relatives. This armed organization beat up the people of Thunder Company when they saw it. I will You shouldn't go back with them."

Gao Guang knew that a deformed ecosystem had formed in Baghdad. After the withdrawal of the US military, a new ecosystem was formed between the PM and the local people, using tacit understanding and exchange of interests. Generally speaking, everyone's choice is to fight or not. beat.

After all, they are all seeking money, and those who spend all day fighting life and death have lost the purpose of seeking money. Only when they encounter the kind of fanatical idiots, they will beat them up in desperation.

There is no reason to argue with idiots, such as those represented by Ace Ace, who will definitely be beaten, because if they don’t beat them to death, they will beat them to death. In recent years, the War Group has been in Iraq. The casualties were mainly caused by this group of people.

But there was a fight between an armed faction and a photo shooting company, and it was very targeted. It was really unclear what was going on with this highlight.

"Is Thunder Company big?"

"It's not big. There are only about a hundred people in total. If it's a big company, how can anyone dare to mess with them?"

"Then Thunder Company's opponent is the armed faction."

"Of course they don't have much strength, otherwise how would Thunder Company dare to provoke them."

It turned out that it was just a fight between two weak chickens. Gao Guang was relieved and said to the driver: "Then no one dares to mess with the War Group here, right?"

The driver looked at Gao Guang with a strange look, and then said in a slightly contemptuous tone: "There is never a shortage of rookies in this place. Rookies dare to do anything, so there will always be rookies who will do something. Let's do it." They, they messed with us, a few people died, the new birds became old birds, until they left this ghost place, another group of rookies came, and it happened again and again. "

Gao Guang knew that he was the rookie the driver called him.

Whether on the battlefield or in a place where a new order is established after the war, newcomers do die quickly and often.

You have to pay attention to save your life. If you want to save your life, the most convenient way is to find an experienced veteran to take you with you.

So, is it time to look for a better master to teach you?

"You must be familiar with this place. What should I call you?"

The driver said expressionlessly: "Familiarity is very familiar. I have been here for four years. You can call me coachman. Anyway, I just drive everywhere."

Coachman and driver are not the same words. Driver refers to carriage driver, but it is quite appropriate.

He can drive around Baghdad all day long. This is a veteran who is familiar with the situation. It should be right to explore the road from him.

How should we quickly close the relationship? Gao Guang's experience is that tobacco and alcohol are the way to go, so he brought a lot of hard currency in his luggage.

There are not many bullets, but the tobacco and alcohol are essential.

Gao Guang took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket and said with a smile on his face: "My name is Mad Dog, do you want to smoke?"

"Mad dog, would you call me mad dog?"

The driver seemed a little surprised that Gao Guang would be called Mad Dog. He looked at Gao Guang again and said, "You don't look like... a crazy person."

Looking at the cigarette in Gao Guang's hand, the driver shrugged and said, "I don't smoke."

Gao Guang quickly stood up, turned over and stretched his arms, reached the bag on the back seat, and lifted it with great difficulty. He opened the bag and took out a 700 ml bottle of whiskey from it, and said to the driver, "My friend told me that there is little alcohol here and it is very expensive, so I brought a bottle. I wanted to treat you to a drink tonight, but I don't know if there will be a chance tonight, so why don't you take it and drink it slowly."

The driver was very surprised. He said in surprise, "Why did you treat me to a drink?"

"Because, because..."

The driver was so frustrated by Gao Guang that he couldn't even think of a reason, so he said in a short time. After struggling, he said very straightforwardly: "Thank you for picking me up."

"The company sent me here."

"Well, you also told me a lot of experience. I am indeed a rookie, and what you told me is very useful, so I am grateful to you and I will treat you to the wine I prepared for myself."

The driver said again in confusion: "But I didn't tell you anything. I didn't say that the block is the most dangerous, nor did I tell you who to find fun in the green zone. I didn't tell you what work you can do and what you can't do. Why did you treat me to a drink?"

Gao Guang was really confused. He didn't know if the driver had any problems or really didn't know how to deal with people.

But from the beginning to now, the driver didn't seem to be an emotional intelligence black hole. Could it be that he asked so many questions because he was cautious?

Since the driver was so direct, Gao Guang had to be more direct, so he immediately said: "So I gave you the wine, but you have to drink it. We have become friends, and it's not too late for you to teach me." The driver accepted Gao Guang's reason. He looked at the bottle of whiskey. This wine costs $59 a bottle, which is not too expensive, but it is definitely not the cheapest wine in Los Angeles. "You are a rookie who likes to learn. A rookie who likes to learn has a better chance of becoming an old bird. Give me the wine." Gao Guang handed the bottle over, but the driver didn't take it. "Open the bottle for me." Gao Guang was very surprised and said: "Do you want to drink it now?" "Is there any problem? Don't worry, I only drink two sips, I will definitely not get drunk, hurry up." After hesitating for a while, Gao Guang still unscrewed the lid and handed the opened bottle to the driver. Holding the steering wheel with one hand and the bottle with the other, the driver looked up to the sky and drank a big gulp. "Ha, so refreshing."

The driver put the bottle of wine on the steering wheel with his right hand, exhaled heavily, coughed twice, and said with satisfaction: "I haven't drunk like this for a long time."

Drinking and driving at the same time, Gao Guang felt that for the sake of his life safety, it would be better to dissuade him.

"I can help you put the wine away, you can go back and drink it slowly."

Picked up the bottle and gulped it down again, and the driver finally returned the bottle to Gao Guang.

Seeing that at least one-third of the wine had been poured into the bottle, Gao Guang asked curiously, "Is there a shortage of wine in Baghdad?"

"No, not really. It depends on how you define it. You can definitely buy it if you have money, but it's expensive. Besides, the company doesn't allow drinking. The management is very strict, um, especially for me."

The driver seemed happy. He waved his hand and said, "You have found the right person. Just ask whatever you want to know. No one knows Baghdad better than me."

"Well, as a newcomer, what should I do to stay away from danger?"

"If you want to stay away from danger, you shouldn't have come."

The driver said in high spirits, "But I can tell you how to be safer. First of all, don't walk with the people from Thunder Company these two days. Absolutely not. They either leave Baghdad or several people must die to end it all. Then try not to leave the Green Zone. If you are going out on a mission, it is best to avoid the territory of the Igor faction. This armed organization is newly established and they are eager to make a name for themselves. , and we are the best target to make a name for ourselves. The Igor faction will definitely find trouble to start a fight. "After saying that, the driver looked at Gao Guang and said, "What are you doing here? Do you have a specific mission?" "No, I don't know what I'm going to do yet," The driver waved his hand again and said, "The company is in urgent need of security personnel now. Remember, if you have a choice, never protect those Iraqis. It's too dangerous." Gao Guang immediately said, "Can you explain it more clearly? Why do we have to protect Iraqis?" "The pro-American, the kind of people who want to be supported, the Pentagon used to send troops to protect them directly, but now it wants us to protect them. Remember, stay away from them, it's easy to die." The driver paused, burped, and said very seriously, "It's really easy to die, so if you have a choice, never protect Iraqis." For some reason, Gao Guang suddenly had an ominous premonition. He felt that Danny brought him here just to let him protect people. After thinking for a moment, Gao Guang nodded and said, "I understand. What should I say if I refuse?" The driver smiled and said, "Aren't you called Mad Dog? Generally speaking, people who are too crazy, too radical, and like to cause trouble everywhere are usually not sent to perform protection missions. Do you understand?"
