Chapter 911 Act as Planned
Passing through Fallujah was easier than Gao Yang imagined. Fallujah was very chaotic and dangerous, but Highway 1 passed outside Fallujah, so there was no need for the convoy to pass through the city.
There are many checkpoints set up by government forces outside Fallujah, especially on Highway 1. Gao Yang and the others need to pass two checkpoints. Gao Yang and the others do not need to prepare for this kind of thing. Tomler will naturally Have your passport ready.
Without the passes, Gao Yang and the others would not even be able to leave Baghdad, because the curfew in Baghdad has been in place for many years, and it is the same whether they are in Baghdad or on the road outside Fallujah. When passing the checkpoint, Liang After issuing the pass and handing over the everlasting US dollars, the convoy passed through Fallujah without much delay.
We wasted a little time passing through Fallujah. Once we passed Fallujah, there was not much danger, and the road conditions were better. The convoy picked up some speed and headed straight towards Ramadi.
Ramadi is about 60 to 70 kilometers away from Fallujah. It took Gao Yang and the others an hour and a half to get to Ramadi.
Near the city of Ramadi, the Euphrates River turns a zigzag shape. Ramadi is on the south bank of the river, and Highway 1 is on the north bank. It is still some distance from Ramadi city, but Highway 1 in this area all starts from It passes between rural areas, and in this area, roadside bomb attacks occur one after another, so one must be vigilant.
There is an overpass on Highway 1, and coming off the auxiliary road of the overpass is the road leading to Ramadi city. But Gao Yang and the others did not go south into the city of Ramadi. Instead, they got off Highway 1 and turned north.
We walked almost two kilometers. Frye, who was driving the car, said in a deep voice: "Boss, we should be here. We found the signboard for the supply point."
Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Toad and rabbit called the door. Observe the environment. Don't forget to say that Porovich introduced you. Make sure it is safe before entering."
The convoy stopped two hundred meters away from the driving car, and Gao Yang mounted his Satan's Blade. After watching Li Jinfang and Cui Bo get out of the car, they started calling the door outside what looked like a typical Iraqi farmyard.
Soon a light came on in the room. After Gao Yang saw someone coming out, he said a few words to Li Jinfang and Cui Bo, and then waved for the rest of the people to go in, but only Li Jinfang and Cui Bo followed. After staying for a few minutes, Li Jinfang said on the walkie-talkie: "This is the place. The person and Porovich can match each other, and the place is right. There are four people here, and they all have guns, but there is no threat. You can come in."
Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief and took back his rifle. He said on the intercom: "Okay, let the convoy go in and proceed as planned."
After speaking on the intercom.
Gao Yangcai picked up a walkie-talkie designed to communicate with people in trucks, and said in a deep voice: "We have arrived at the supply point, come with us."
The off-road vehicle had already entered the yard, and Gao Yang and the others drove into the yard one after another. When Gao Yang got out of the car, they found someone wearing a white robe in the yard. A bearded man carrying an AK47 on his back with a smile on his face.
After Gao Yang got off the car. The bearded man smiled and said: "Welcome, welcome, please come in. You have been driving hard all night. You can have a good sleep. The hot and fragrant food will be here soon. Please come in quickly."
Gao Yang carried his rifle on his back and held a shotgun in his hand. He walked in front of the bearded man in a white robe and smiled politely: "Hello, are you Mr. Masum?"
The bearded man in white robe laughed and said: "It's me, it's me, please come into the house. You are a friend of the Russian man, then you are our friend, please come in."
Gao Yang smiled and said: "Mr. Masum, eating and rest can wait. Let's do the important things first. We have to fill up the car with oil and bring enough oil and water to cross the desert." .”
Masum laughed and said, "No problem, I'll cheer you up."
After finishing speaking in English, Masoum turned around and shouted in Arabic: "Ahmed! Hassan, stop cooking now, go and cheer for our guests, Fudi, where is Fudi? This Lazy guy, let him get some drinks for our guests.”
After shouting twice, Masum looked at Gao Yang and said with a smile: "What do you want to drink? Coke? Or beer? I have a generator here, and it's all iced."
Gao Yang was stunned and said: "And beer?"
"Yes, there is everything!"
Gao Yang smiled and said: "I want Coke, we all want Coke, please give me more."
After finishing speaking, Gao Yang said loudly on the intercom: "Come down and have something to drink."
Gao Yang said, "Come on, come on," meaning that we can proceed as planned.
Gao Yang walked towards the truck, waved to the people in the cockpit, and said with a smile: "Come on, have something to drink and take a rest."
Mulafa looked at Gao Yang, opened the car door, and said to Gao Yang: "Do me a favor. Just fill up the gas and we won't go out. Drink water and eat without delay in the car."
Gao Yang looked as if nothing had happened and said with a smile: "With a little effort, oh, is it diesel or gasoline?"
"diesel fuel."
Gao Yang turned around and smiled at Masum: "Fill up all five cars with diesel. Three cars are filled with diesel, and the off-road vehicle and sedan are filled with gasoline. Thank you."
After Masum shouted to the two men several times, they each pulled a fuel pipe. The convoy had already stopped where it should. All it needed to do was open the fuel tank cap and refuel.
The two men took the oil guns but did not start to refuel. Masum smiled at Gao Yang and said, "Sorry, our rules here are to pay first."
Gao Yang looked apologetic and said, "Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I know, but I forgot. I'm sorry, how much is it?"
Masum smiled and said, "It's all good oil. A full tank of fuel costs one thousand dollars for a truck. The price for other cars is five hundred. If you need gasoline in an iron barrel, it's five hundred a barrel."
Needless to say, it is very dark, but there is a reason for being dark. Masum earns risk money. He supports armed organizations and the people who transport arms under Porovich. In short, it is not a good way. You also have to ensure safety, so it’s understandable that the charges are higher.
Gao Yang took out the money, counted the amount to be paid, and said with a smile: "In addition to the oil money, there is also water, and our food and accommodation expenses. Is it enough to pay you another two thousand US dollars? The barreled oil will be charged according to the quantity. Give you money."
Masum smiled and took the money and said, "That's enough. Friends of friends are my friends. The friendship price is enough."
After paying the money, the oil started to be added up. At this time, Gao Yang waved and shouted: "Come and help move the oil barrels. Just put as much as you need, and put as much water as you can."
Thirty liters per barrel, whether it is gasoline or diesel, is 500 per barrel. In a place where water is more expensive than oil, it is definitely a sky-high price. However, Gao Yang has no intention of bargaining. This is how people sell it. If you can find a place where you don’t have to worry about oil, The quality is great, and you don’t have to worry about being hit by a rocket when you refill it. It’s worth the price.
Gao Yang and the others had actually prepared fuel in their car, but if they could replenish it at this time, they should replenish as much as possible. After loading two more barrels into the car, Gao Yang carried a barrel of oil, and Grolev also carried a barrel of oil. Walked towards the truck.
As he passed the front of the car, Gao Yang said loudly to Mulafa as if nothing had happened: "Come down and help put oil in the car. You don't want to just watch."
Before Mulla could reply, Gao Yang and Grolev came to the back of the carriage. After winking at Grolev, Gao Yang knocked on the carriage door that was closed from the inside and shouted in a slightly impatient tone. Said: "Open the door, open the door, and fill it with oil."
At this time, Mulafa got off the driver's seat and ran to the back of the car. He patted Gao Yang gently and said in a deep voice: "Put it down, we will do it."
Gao Yang curled his lips, put down the oil drum with Grolev, turned around and left, but after taking only two steps, Gao Yang turned around and said in an impatient tone: "I think it's better to make it clear, man, we are on the same rope now We will escort you and be responsible for the safety of you and the cargo. Man, I don’t think it’s a good choice for you to be wary of us all the time.”
Grolev pushed Gao Yang and said dissatisfied: "Why do you care so much? Let's go. I'm thirsty and hungry."
Gao Yang turned around, shrugged, and said to Mu Lafa: "Okay, everything is up to you. In fact, I am happy not to have to help, but I think we still have a long way to go. If you think the people inside can stay inside, If you can’t come out, that’s up to you.”
Gao Yang turned to leave. After hesitating for a moment, Mulafa said: "Sorry, they don't understand English. I'm worried about causing any misunderstandings. I'm not trying to guard against you. Please wait a moment. I'd rather ask for your help so that we can solve the problem as soon as possible." Put the oil in the car.”
Grolev looked helpless. At this time, Murafa knocked on the carriage and spoke a few words in Arabic. The carriage door opened from the inside.
Gao Yang glanced at it, picked up the oil drum on the ground, put it into the carriage, and then said to the four people inside: "Come down and help."
The car was filled with crates and four people. The crates basically reached the roof of the car, and the space left for the four people at the rear was also quite small.
In addition, each of the four people in the car was holding a gun, and pointed the gun at Gao Yang and Grolev unceremoniously. Among the four guns of the four people, three of them were The butt of the gun was sawed off, the front sight was sawed off, and the AK47 was made into a set of two quick-change magazines with tape.
Gao Yang's brows furrowed, as if he was offended by being pointed at a gun, and he said to Mula: "What does this mean? Forget it, you should do it yourself."
Mulafa said, asking the four people to put their guns back, and then said to Gao Yang: "Sorry, please don't mind, they can't leave this car, so we have to trouble you to help us move the oil."
Gao Yang looked very unhappy and said: "Man, we have nearly two thousand kilometers to go, and there is no safe supply point after leaving here, so we have to prepare a lot of oil. Do you think? Is there room for an oil drum in your car?” (To be continued)
