Tony. Stark's identity is very sensitive, and 40% of the weapons of the U.S. military come from Stark Industries, so Tony is also an important person that the U.S. government must protect.

It stands to reason that this kind of incident that happened abroad should be handled by the CIA, but this time the matter was a bit serious, so it was finally handed over to the more capable S.H.I.E.L.D.

After coming to the headquarters to listen to the relevant information, Director Fury decided to send Black Widow Natasha, Level 8 Agent Coulson, and Advisor Li Nan to the US military base in Afghanistan as soon as possible.

As soon as he stepped off the plane, the hot breath came to his face, but the terrain of Afghanistan surprised Li Nan.

This kind of country with frequent wars, a person of Li Nan's status has never been there, he originally thought that this place should be full of deserts and wastelands, but he didn't expect that it was all plains as far as the eye could see.

The plane landed inside the Kabul airport, so Li Nan and his entourage got on a military Humvee and drove for less than half an hour to the heavily guarded US base.

U.S. troops have been stationed in Kabul for several years, but they are somewhat powerless against the ubiquitous terrorist group.

This time, the U.S. generals stationed in Kabul valued the newly developed Freedom Missile developed by Stark Industries, which had a huge coverage area, so they invited Tony to come over to inspect the goods.

The war was not good, and the chairman of Stark Industries had another accident on his own turf, which made General Goering's mood extremely bad.

Seeing Li Nan and the others walking into the headquarters, Coulson had just explained his intentions, and General Goering said impatiently: "I have already sent someone to investigate this matter, you can go back to your residence and wait for news if you are fine." ”

Li Nan knew a lot of high-ranking military officials, but this lieutenant general was really the first one who dared to talk to him like this.

Without waiting for Li Nan to get angry, Coulson put away the smile he was accustomed to on his face, "General Goering, you don't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem now. ”

"Don't scare me!" General Goering said unhappily, "I know Tony. Stark is considered a rich man, but he is nothing in my eyes! ”

"No, no, no." Coulson shook his head and said very seriously, "I've never been in the habit of scaring people, and I advise you to pray to Tony quickly. Mr. Stark is in danger this time, otherwise your career will end here. ”

General Goering was also well-informed, and he didn't think that a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent could have much power, but when Li Nan, who was standing behind Coulson, took off his sunglasses, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

Li Nan looked at the general and said lightly: "Goering, I remember that four years ago, you followed General Frank to my club?" ”

After seeing Li Nan's face, General Goering's complexion suddenly changed greatly, and the whole person seemed to be a little shorter.

General Goering is not afraid of offending S.H.I.E.L.D., this kind of government agency will let himself leave the army, anyway, he has made enough money over the years, but after seeing Li Nan, he is really afraid.

Li Nan joined the Hellfire Club shortly after the end of World War II, and over the years he has continued to expand his network and maintain mutually beneficial relationships with politicians in the U.S. government, large conglomerates, and high-ranking members of the military.

Offending S.H.I.E.L.D. is just discarding his position in the army, but offending Li Nan, who controls Hellfire, then he will lose more than that.

After General Goering recognized Li Nan, like a fierce tiger suddenly turning into a docile kitten, he said respectfully: "Mr. Li, your memory is really good, I was just a small major back then. ”

"Hmm." Li Nan nodded and said, "Tony is my nephew, I hope you can do more to rescue him, what do you think?" ”

"Of course, of course!" General Goering hastened to explain: "Actually, even if you don't come, I will do my best to rescue Mr. Stark." At present, all the soldiers on vacation and rest at the base have been urgently recruited by me, and I have sent all the soldiers out to search except for some soldiers stationed in the combat area. ”

Li Nan also learned about the US military garrison in Afghanistan on the plane, and the entire number of soldiers sent by the United States to Afghanistan was no more than 10,000 troops, and it was indeed very difficult for people to find a person in this strange land.

After all, this incident happened in General Goering's territory, and Li Nan estimated that he did his best, and after thinking about it, he didn't embarrass him.

After leaving the command headquarters of the US military base, Li Nan and his entourage did not return to the room arranged for them by General Goering, but drove to the city of Kabul in an inconspicuous car.

Kabul is the capital of the Republic of Afghanistan, the largest city in Afghanistan, with a history of more than 3,500 years.

Since the start of the war in Afghanistan, the city has continued to be an economic center and relatively safe. But a few years ago, a civil war devastated Kabul's military organization, killing thousands of civilians, severely damaging infrastructure and leaving the country.

Today, the city of Kabul is protected by American troops and has become a refuge for many Afghans, and the situation in the city is also chaotic due to the complex composition of the personnel.

Since ancient times, no matter what country it is, it seems that the place where alcohol is sold will naturally become a distribution center for news, even the city of Kabul is no exception.

In the past, bars would never have appeared in Afghanistan, but now in this period of war, many Afghans' beliefs and moral bottom lines have changed a lot, and a large number of foreign mercenaries have also taken advantage of the chaos to come to this country, so bars came into being.

According to the guidance of the S.H.I.E.L.D. informant, Li Nan and the three of them walked into a bar in the east of Kabul City, pushed the door in, and went straight to the bar.

There are a lot of people drinking in the bar, and they don't look like they are good, and everyone has all kinds of guns on them.

Due to the hot climate, the white bartender, who was wearing only a small vest, saw a few customers coming, threw the black rag in his hand on the table, and asked lazily, "What do you want to have?" ”

Coulson said directly: "Intelligence." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, the bartender suddenly became interested, "What kind of information do you need?" ”

"Did you know that the American convoy was ambushed recently?"

Seeing the bartender nod, Coulson said, "We need information on those people." ”

The bartender was a little embarrassed and said, "This... I'm sorry, but there are so many organizations in Afghanistan right now, and we don't know who did it. ”

"Smack!" Li Nan took out two wades of dollars from his arms and threw them on the bar in front of the bartender, "Tell us which organization in Afghanistan has the ability to annihilate a team of well-trained American soldiers." ”

The bartender greedily looked at the two hundred-dollar dollars, and said greedily: "This money seems to be a little insufficient to buy precious information." ”

"Hahaha......" Li Nan was amused by the bartender's words, with his current value, it was really an insult to talk to him about money.

"As long as you can give me accurate information, I can add another ten times to your offer!" Li Nan said domineeringly.
