Chapter 396 The Intrigue Between Allies

Victor, who was destined to become an unsung hero, entered Erbil after changing his identity in Tehran. As a Kurdish autonomous region, Erbil suffered much less damage from the war than before. In the early days of the invasion of Iraq, Erbil immediately announced that it had entered a state of neutrality.It will neither get involved in the camp of the US military, nor will it take advantage of Saddam's army. Generally speaking, under the instigation of the Soviet Union, it chooses to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight to see who becomes the winner in the end.

The prerequisite for independence is self-respect, so the Kurds, who lacked heavy weapons, naturally became the targets of Soviet arms sales and military aid. Of course, the Soviet Union could not support tanks with high specifications. At most, they supported some anti-tank rocket launchers and shoulder-fired Anti-aircraft rockets, mediating guerrilla warfare with the Americans.

There are also strong differences of opinion between Shiites and Sunnis. Some Shiites support cooperation with the US military, while some Shiites and Sunnis choose to unite to resist the invading US troops. In order to ensure their dominance, Pai regards Shiites and the US military as the same enemy.

As the Shia sects in the six southern provinces successively declared their independence, Saddam suddenly had a premonition that his situation was over.The Republican Guard and Saddam's death squads have not given up resistance and fought behind enemy lines so far, which has caused some headaches for the US military.

Victor, dressed as a Kurd, stood in front of an unremarkable small house, and he was pushed into the wooden house.Inside is a strong religious style of furnishings. There are several bearded people sitting cross-legged, and beside them are guards holding Kalashnikov rifles.

"Hello, Victor, my friend, I didn't expect to meet you here." The bearded man sitting on the side stood up and walked towards Victor.

"Long time no see, Mr. Ocalan." Victor also smiled and hugged him. Even he himself was surprised that the leader of the Turkish Workers' Party actually appeared in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdish Autonomous Region. It seems that Sa After Damm lost power, everyone wanted a piece of the pie in Iraq.

During the riots in the east of the PKK, Victor was Ocalan's arms supplier, and the two formed a friendship. Because they knew each other's identity, Ocalan did not shy away from speaking in front of Victor. , In fact, he is also eager to let the Soviet Union know the Kurds' anti-American and pro-Soviet movements in Iraq, in exchange for more military support.

"The armed forces of the Kurdistan Workers Party have now expanded to [-] soldiers, and they have spread to the entire rural areas of eastern Turkey, establishing extensive bases. Next, we will send [-] soldiers to Iraq for actual combat training, accumulating rich experience of."

Victor smiled when he heard that he had accumulated rich experience. Having said so much, didn’t he hope to use the training of the war to cultivate an elite army to fight against the Turkish government?Of course, Victor will not point this out. In fact, the Soviet Union really needs the PKK to disgust the Turkish government. Turkey and Russia have had feuds for hundreds of years, and they don’t care who subverts whom.

Victor subconsciously touched the briefcase, which contained a list of weapons.

"Although we believe in different concepts from the Kurdish Autonomous Region in Iraq, all Kurds have the same goal, which is to establish a country belonging to the Kurds. Our nation has been wandering for too long. It is time to establish A stable and strong regime."

Victor just smiled and watched Ocalan's impassioned speech, but did not make any comments.How could the Soviet Union allow the Kurds to establish a Kurdistan? He allowed the Kurds in Turkey and Iraq to fight for independence, but he would never allow the Kurds in Iran and Syria to follow along.

"Our weapons are already on the way. The Kurds will build up a huge armed force. At that time, no matter if they are Shiites or Sunnis, if they want to control Iraq, they will find a way to win over the Kurds first." Victor sat down and chatted cordially with Ocalan. He turned his head to the other Kurdish elders and said, "And I have an unkind request. I hope you can communicate with the Kurdish elders."

"What's the matter?" Ocalan put his ear close and asked in a low voice.Ocalan owed Victor a favor before, and now he hopes to repay the favor.

"An American is selling a large number of weapons in Anbar Province, and he is instigating the local extreme Sunnis to target the Kurds. Have you heard about this? And according to the information provided by the KGB, he is now in the Kurdish They want to sell the fire dealers to the Kurdish armed forces and start a war by the way."

"People from the CIA?" Ocalan asked. He was also very concerned about the Americans sowing dissension on the Kurdish territory. He wanted to establish Kurdistan. The first thing he wanted to win was the people of the Kurdish Autonomous Region in Iraq.And the communism believed by the PKK happens to be contrary to religious teachings, so there is no guarantee that the CIA will not instigate it.

"Yes, his name is Simeon." Victor replied, and when he looked at Ocalan's solemn face, he knew that his plan had succeeded.He wanted to use Öcalan to remove Simien smoothly, and then pass the disaster on to the PKK.For the KGB, Öcalan is also a dangerous time bomb, because his ambition to build a Kurdish crescent goes against the strategy of the Soviet Union.

So when necessary in the future, Victor will definitely be the first to betray him.No matter how intimate the honeymoon period of cooperation between the two parties is now.

"Okay, I will ask the elders of the Kurdi Autonomous Region to release the news, and I will notify you as soon as there is information about that person."

"By the way, I have an unfeeling request. When he is caught, can he be handed over to me? Of course, we will not treat our allies badly. The batch of Kalashnikov rifles and RPG rocket launchers that will be delivered next time , in return for you handing him over to me."

Ocalan didn't care about the life and death of CIA personnel, but when he heard that Victor was willing to give a batch of arms as a reward, a mysterious smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth. The fighters who entered the Iraqi Kurdish Autonomous Region from the Turkish border are now All that's missing is weapons.And Victor's gift just made up for this embarrassing situation.

"Of course no problem, my friend." Ocalan said with a smile.

Chapter 397 The Captured Arms Dealer

Simeon Wise did a very stupid thing, instead of returning to the CIA immediately after he completed the Anbar arms deal, he went north to the Kurds, trying to use the dollars exchanged with the Sunnis to make money for himself again a sum of money.Simeon thought that after Victor was arrested by Interpol, it would take several days to release him, and he just made up for the gap in the arms deal in the Kurdish region at this time. Ke Duo was empty-handed.It's also a good time to humiliate the other party severely.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is full of unpredictability. What he didn't expect was that only one or two hours passed between Victor's arrest and release.So when he stood on the land of Erbil, Simien, who had cut off contact with the outside world, didn't know that he had embarked on a road of no return.

Through the matchmaking of informants, he has already got in touch with a certain leader of the local Kurdish armed forces. The other party is very interested in the quotation of his weapons. If possible, he hopes to conduct an arms deal with Simien in person and use cash settlement.

Such a good thing is naturally desirable, and Simien agreed to the other party's request. It was not until he set foot in Erbil that he felt that something was wrong.Although there is a hired armed soldier to protect his safety, Simeon still intuitively tells himself that this place is more dangerous than the western Ambala Province.

The transaction site was inside the abandoned factory, and it was only when Simeon came here that he realized that something was wrong. A group of Kurdish armed soldiers with live ammunition surrounded his convoy, and the entire abandoned factory was theirs.

"What's going on? It's different from what you said." Simeon pretended to be calm and said, "Do you know who I am? People from the CIA, the spokesperson of the world's arms giants, know what will happen if you touch me Is it the end?"

Although he was heavily protected by the hired soldiers, he still couldn't give Simeon a sense of security. He could only intimidate everyone with bluff, warning not to try to provoke the national giant behind him.However, all his fantasies about survival were completely shattered when a person appeared.

"If it's a member of the KGB, do you think you have the strength to move you? Simeon, you are really courageous enough. You made up your mind to hit our arms sales. Do you think that an Interpol can do nothing to win the entire Soviet Union? An underground arms force supported by the Politburo?"

Victor emerged from the shadow step by step. When he fully appeared in front of Simeon, he still had the smiling expression of the merchant of death, proudly announcing to the other party that you lost.

He straightened the tie around his neck with a heartbroken expression, "You have lost to your greed, Mr. Simeon, I think the recent heavy debts have caused you to take the risk and make a fortune for yourself with the CIA's money." Business? After all, you have lost two batches of arms in Africa recently. But your fault lies in another thing. You should not have declared war on me and the Soviet Union behind me. In the current situation, do you think Can I get out alive?"

Victor turned his head and said to the hired soldiers beside him, "Hey, friend, how about we make a deal? If I'm not mistaken, his suitcase should contain a box of dollars , how about you take the money and leave and leave people here? I think it’s better than fighting each other and killing a few people, right?”

The soldiers glanced at each other, and understood that no matter how heroic they were in the current situation, they would never end well. They exchanged glances with each other, and agreed to Victor's request.

"Scatter the soldiers at the gate so we can drive out." One of them held Simien hostage in his hands for the sake of caution.

"Of course, we will do what we say." After speaking, Victor motioned for the soldiers at the gate to make way for them to leave.

The hired soldiers slowly retreated back to the SUV, and one of them put a pistol to the back of Simien's head, and he left his employer and fled after confirming that it was safe.

Sure enough, after the group snatched the suitcase, they kept their promise and left Simien, and drove away. Simien, who was left alone, was heavily surrounded by armed soldiers of the PKK.

"Do it, why don't you do it?" Simien was ready to die, he spread his hands and shouted like a lunatic, "Anyway, if it falls into your hands, you are destined to die, so why don't you What are you hesitating about?"

"How could you die so quickly?" Victor took a step forward and stopped the soldiers who wanted to rough up Simien. I am not worthy to help you carry your shoes, and I am still not worthy.

"I also need to get information from you about the arms trade conducted by the CIA's top executives in Iraq. You should really cover up the Sunni arms trade. Otherwise, after someone discovers the flaw, you and the CIA The higher-ups can't afford to walk around." Victor pretended to be careless and said, but every word and every word hit Simeon's head hard, making him involuntarily afraid.

Afterwards, the CIA, who became angry from embarrassment, found out that the first unlucky person was Simeon.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Simeon said pretending to be tough.

"Of course you know what I'm talking about. Now I want you to tell the whole world about the CIA. You can choose not to say it, but I remember you have an illegitimate child who is studying business administration at Cambridge University. Professional, am I right?" Victor threatened the other party with a fierce look, as if you were going to send the whole family to God if you didn't say anything.

"What else do you know?" Simeon's face had turned ashen, he didn't expect that Victor knew much more than he imagined.The more the other party knows their cards, the less chance they have to bargain.

For the first time, he felt that he had underestimated his opponent.

The tripod of the video recorder has been supported, aiming at Simeon sitting on the chair. Victor said that he would expose the CIA's conspiracy to the world. This is not just a casual slogan.

"I still know a lot, everything about you. If you are willing to tell everything, I can save you and your family. But if you are unwilling to cooperate, do you think I and the CIA will let you go?"

Chapter 398 All Arrested

"My name is Simeon Wise, and I work for the CIA. On December 1995, 12, I was entrusted by Brennan, the deputy director of the CIA's Intelligence Division, and the director of the Middle East, Amis, to help senior CIA officials secure security in Iraq. Enemies at war with the U.S. military in Barr Province, Sunni armed forces conduct arms sales. I have direct evidence that the CIA is involved in this conspiracy that violates the U.S. Constitution and Homeland Security. This evidence will accompany the video. Delivered into the hands of the American media, I am Simeon Wise, and America will remember my name."

After reading this passage, Victor closed the camera. He gave Simeon a thumbs up and praised him as a national hero, "Mr. Simien, your contribution will be forever remembered by the KGB and the American people." Remember. Of course, I have always kept my promise and will never touch your family, but it is almost time for you to end yourself."

He stuffed the pistol into Simeon's arms, looked at the already pale and hopeless face, and still didn't forget to make another knife, "Even if I am willing to let you go, I don't think the group of vengeful guys in the CIA will either." Let you go, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, they will find you out and throw you into a federal prison, making your life miserable for the rest of your life. If I were you, I would end it as soon as possible and save myself from that crime."

Simeon glanced at Victor, then at the gun in his hand, slowly raised his hand, put the muzzle of the gun against his chin, closed his eyes, and pulled the trigger resolutely.After a gunshot, the entire abandoned factory fell silent.

Victor breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell. Next, he only needs to hand over these things to the KGB intelligence personnel, and they will naturally make the CIA fall into a new scandal.

Therefore, when the major newspapers in the United States received the secret evidence specially provided to them by the Soviet KGB, their expressions were all shocked. Adhering to the principle of Western journalists who listen to the wind and rain and like to make big news, this video and The evidence was released quickly, and the public opinion sensation caused in the society quickly attracted the attention of the FBI.

President Mario's complexion is not to mention how ugly it is now, especially when news reporters on TV linked this incident of arms sales to the enemy with the Ames espionage case a few days ago, and news commentators criticized him in very ugly terms. the CIA.

"The CIA was originally supposed to be like the sword and shield of the United States, protecting the people from other forces. In the end, they colluded with other forces and betrayed our country. Who gave them such rights?"
