Chapter 839: Fallujah

Fallujah is located in Anbar Province, Iraq's largest province, 69 kilometers west of the capital, Baghdad, and has a population of about 400,000.

It is said that there are more than 200 mosques in the city and its surrounding villages, hence the reputation of the city of mosques.

The vast majority of the residents who live in this neighborhood are the most devout Sunnis.

After the destruction of the Iraqi government by the U.S. military, it has been the place where the resistance has been fiercest, and the people have repeatedly clashed with the U.S. garrison, and even succeeded in driving out the U.S. military, which claims to be the strongest military force on the planet.

Currently, the city is controlled by Ben **'s deputy, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al-Qaeda's prominent number three.

He has 500 core members under his command and more than 5,000 militants who have come from all over the world to participate in the "jihad," and he is still sending people to infiltrate the whole of Iraq, trying to use more car bombs, suicide attacks, long-range snipers and other means to create more casualties and panic for the Americans, and try to replicate the classic case of Afghanistan driving out the Soviet invaders through guerrillas.

However, it is a pity that this idiot with an extreme religious ideology does not understand at all that the reason why the Soviet Union chose to retreat back then was not how powerful the so-called "holy war" was.

Rather, most of the world, including the US-led NATO, is collaborating to kill the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, one of the two poles of the Cold War era.

Without a large amount of foreign material and military aid, it is impossible to cause much trouble to the Soviet Union even if it were all dead by those ignorant and foolish people who regard a broken book written thousands of years ago in the Middle Ages as a holy text, or even a law and a code of conduct and morality.

Of course, these self-proclaimed pious believers don't know at all that whether it is ancient Judaism, or Christianity and Christianity derived later, the original root cause is actually a puppet supported by the forces of heaven on earth.

The crusades launched several times in the name of faith were nothing more than the forces of heaven in order to replenish more souls, allowing mortals to fight each other, and themselves to reap the benefits of fishermen.

What's even more ridiculous is that the gods, who are regarded as the only and omnipotent creators at the root of the three religions, have long been torn to pieces by the original gods of the earth in the earth-shattering war in prehistory, and not even a single intact corpse remains.

Right now, the altar in the center of heaven is dedicated to the heart of this Lord of Heaven.

Sitting in the car, Zhang Cheng looked at the scenery on both sides of the street outside the window with great interest, and commented with a smile: "It seems that the militants who occupied the city are doing a good job, and it seems that it is not as chaotic as I imagined." ”

"Of course! Zarqawi is no terrorist in the ordinary sense of the word. He and his men seem to be secretly plotting to create a state, a real Sunni*** caliphate. Yelena, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pursed the corners of her mouth, revealing an expression that she didn't know whether it was sarcasm or ridicule.

"ISIS!"

Countless images of memories instantly appeared in Zhang Cheng's mind, and he immediately realized who this Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was.

Two years later, in June 2006, Zarqawi would have been killed in a U.S. raid.

In October of the same year, his successor, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, announced the establishment of the "Iraq State", abbreviated as "ISIS", which shocked the world.

"What, are you interested in this guy? If so, I can introduce you. In fact, part of the weapons and ammunition they use are provided by us, and in return, we can buy the crude oil and minerals extracted from the areas they occupy at a very low price. Yelena explained meaningfully.

Since the Pacific Underground Base has several automatic production lines that can produce light weapons and ammunition of various calibers, including pistols, shotguns, submachine guns, rifles, sniper rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, grenade launchers, artillery shells, mortars, etc., it is natural to start an arms business.

Moreover, the equipment provided by Hydra is extremely advanced, and the weapons and ammunition produced are of exceptionally good quality, and the price is not very expensive, which has opened the door to the arms market in just a few months.

Zhang Cheng smiled noncommittally and shook his head: "Forget it when you meet, if it's convenient, tell me what kind of person he is." ”

"Hmm, how do you describe it? Yelena visibly hesitated for a few seconds before replying in a tone of uncertainty: "In the eyes of the outside world, he is a crazy and cunning religious terrorist, constantly causing terrible terrorist attacks. But in the eyes of the vast majority of Sunnis, he is a hero, a hero who dares to resist the invaders. In addition, he has a completely different set of codes of conduct, not only extremely hateful to Western countries, but also advocates the killing of the Yesh faction, which is also ***. In his conception, heretics are more damned than infidels......"

"Heretics are more damned than infidels?!" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

In his view, this strategy proposed by a certain "bald chairman" to first secure the outside world is simply the same thing.

"That's right, you don't know, do you? In Fallujah, if you are a heretic or a foreigner, then as long as the country and government behind you did not participate in the invasion of Iraq, you can continue to live here unaffected, the only restriction is that you must pay additional taxes on time, just like the *** religious countries in the past taxed Christians. But if you are a Yeshite, then I am afraid that you will soon be arrested and executed. ”

With that, Yelena pointed to a gray building in front of her and said to the driver, "We're here! Park at the door! Remember, don't shoot unless you have to, or you can get into big trouble." ”

"More trouble than fighting the Americans in Baghdad before?" asked the heavily armed driver, grinning and baring a mouthful of white teeth.

You must know that the reason why the team left Baghdad so quickly was to avoid the possibility of a large-scale search and pursuit by the American garrison.

In any case, they slapped the CIA and the U.S. military hard in the face this time, and even unceremoniously killed an Apache gunship that rushed to support.

"Idiot! The nature is different! The relationship between the CIA and the organization is a competitor and an enemy! The current ruler of Fallujah is our high-quality customer, understand?" Yelena rolled her eyes angrily, then pushed the door open and jumped out of the car, and forcefully dismantled the closed metal door.

In less than five seconds, a sturdy woman in a short white tank top, desert camouflage trousers, and brown military boots pushed open the door and walked out, opening her arms and giving her a warm hug: "Wow, my dear little darling, what is the wind blowing you here?"

"Damn, let me go, you muscular monster!" Yelena struggled to push the other away, quickly put on a serious face, and whispered in her ear, "Not long ago, I was sniped by the CIA in Baghdad! That woman probably betrayed us all!"
