Chapter 3197 Leaving Persia, One Path for Two
"Team leader, we couldn't find it."
A man in a Zhongshan suit approached the middle-aged man and spoke urgently. Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man stood up from his seat and paced back and forth in the room.
They didn't see their superior when they evacuated last night, and they didn't see anyone when they arrived at the backup location either.
After searching for most of the day, we still haven't found the person.
Such a sight—neither alive nor dead—is clearly man-made.
But even human actions must leave traces.
This is too bizarre right now.
Of course, for those in their line of work, what's considered strange is simply their sophisticated methods.
All of these methods are man-made.
With this in mind, the team leader set his sights on the group from the Japanese islands.
After all, that was the only group of people they had seen here.
嘣嘣
There was a knock on the door, and then a person quickly pushed the door open and walked in, looking anxious.
"Something's up."
The team leader immediately asked, "Speak!"
"Something's happened on the Japanese islands too; their heads have disappeared."
"What? It's disappeared too?"
The team leader exclaimed in surprise, because he was just about to pin the blame on the Japanese.
But who would have thought that their leader would also be gone?
"Yes, but they are even more suspicious."
"What do you mean?"
"According to their people, the person in the bed didn't hear a sound at all, and then the person just disappeared."
The visitor explained the situation, and the team leader's brows furrowed deeply.
Everyone else in the room waited silently for the team leader to make a decision.
However, the middle-aged man's mind was also in turmoil at this moment.
Suddenly, I felt a lot of pressure on my shoulders.
"How could it just suddenly disappear?"
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, but still couldn't figure it out.
"Team leader, should we continue with the mission?"
Someone reminded him from the side, but the team leader immediately slapped him, saying, "Damn it, we can't even find our superior now, what kind of mission is this?"
"Go and find him! You must find the officer, or we won't be able to explain ourselves when we get back."
The middle-aged man was furious, and the others in the house immediately ran out to search for him.
The man who had come in earlier then spoke up, "Team leader, do you think this might have been done by the Japanese?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
The man immediately analyzed, "Think about it, we originally wanted to kill the target, while the other side wanted to capture him alive and use him."
"Do you think they might worry that we'll ruin their plans, and then..."
"They preemptively struck, which harmed our commander."
The team leader immediately added the following words, then a bright smile appeared on his face.
This analysis is correct.
That reason is perfect.
"And another thing, the reason they gave was too absurd. A person in the room was gone, but the person lying in bed didn't hear any noise."
"It's so fake."
The man spoke again, and the team leader nodded with satisfaction.
Then a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
"It must have been done by a scoundrel."
The team leader made the final decision and immediately gathered his men, heading towards the Japanese island base.
Before long, the two groups clashed violently in the stronghold, with screams echoing throughout.
While the two sides were fighting, a bald man not far away shook his head and sighed, then picked up his luggage and prepared to return home.
Now that they've alerted the enemy, they've become more vigilant, making it even harder for them to succeed.
Instead of waiting here, it's better to leave as soon as possible.
As for Bekotin, that guy was a brainless brute, and his death here is his just deserts.
We have to go back and explain the situation; we can't just brush it off.
After a moment's thought, Constantine immediately left the scene.
As for the original task, it is no longer necessary.
He doesn't think he'll dare to show his face in public after what happened these past two days.
In reality, Yang Xiaotao did appear at the wedding. If Constantine finds out, it's uncertain whether he'll come back to kill her.
Congratulations! May you have a son soon!
At the wedding, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye offered their blessings to the newlyweds.
Today is Alfat's big day. The bride next to him is not tall, half a head shorter than Alfat. She is wearing traditional Persian clothing with intricate floral patterns painted on her palms and ankles, making her look mysterious.
"Thank you, Brother Tao, and thank you, Sister-in-law."
Alphat said happily, "Although I'm no longer a little boy, getting this identity means that I've officially become a man."
"Hello, esteemed guest."
Led by Alfat, the bride Nilufar obediently greeted them. Yang Xiaotao smiled, and Ran Qiuye quickly helped the bride up and gave the newlyweds the gifts she had brought.
As the wedding proceeded, Yang Xiaotao pulled Ran Qiuye aside to sit down and eat something while they waited.
At this moment, Yu Zecheng sat down next to Yang Xiaotao.
"Old Yu, are you leaving today?"
Yang Xiaotao asked the question, and Yu Zecheng nodded.
He picked up a large piece of roasted meat from the table and ate it in a few bites before saying, "The city is restless."
"Just a short while ago, the two groups got into a real fight, and luckily the patrol team arrived to check the situation and brought it under control."
"It's getting more and more chaotic."
Yang Xiaotao sighed, and Yu Zecheng nodded, "It's all for profit."
Upon hearing Yu Zecheng say this, Yang Xiaotao glanced at him sideways.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" "No, it's just that I feel you've changed."
Yu Zecheng was taken aback, then sneered, "If things don't change, I can work in your Ninth Department."
Yang Xiaotao smiled, feeling quite moved.
In this unstable world, even getting married requires caution, and those on the outside are constantly wiping away sweat with nervousness.
At this point, the wedding had reached its climax.
Applause rang out continuously. Yang Xiaotao glanced at Yu Zecheng before saying, "Is there no problem with safety?"
Yu Zecheng gave a no-questions-asked gesture, then focused on eating the mutton on his plate.
"Have you spoken to Old Chen yet?"
"The commander has agreed."
"However, we need to go to the northwest and wait for a day or two for Alfat and the others."
Yu Zecheng spoke again, and Yang Xiaotao was well aware of their current situation; staying would only make things worse.
If we return to our homeland and shift our focus, the situation in Persia will improve.
"Okay, then we'll go pack up in a bit."
Yang Xiaotao readily agreed, while Ran Qiuye, standing to the side, hesitated to speak.
However, in the end, he made the same decision as Yang Xiaotao.
The wedding ceremony lasted a long time, and a banquet was even held in the evening.
Ran Qiuye was also worried about this, because when she was chatting with Alfat, they talked about the banquet.
However, everything now needs to be rearranged.
After noon, Yang Xiaotao received a notification from Old Chen.
He had already spoken with Mosidov and decided not to attend the banquet; the delegation would depart Persia immediately.
Mosidov and Albert led Niloufar to see them off.
After exchanging words of gratitude, Yang Xiaotao hugged Alfate and said, "I'll be waiting for you in Beijing."
Alpha nodded. "I'll be there soon."
On the other side, Ran Qiuye was also hugging Nilufar. Although they couldn't understand each other's language, they could still understand each other through gestures.
After meeting, Mr. Chen, Yang Xiaotao, and others boarded the helicopter that Ding Wei had planned and headed straight to the airport.
However, before leaving, Yang Xiaotao handed Wangbai to Li Yunlong and asked him to take good care of it.
Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately patted his chest and promised to find Wang Bai a foreign wife, leaving Yang Xiaotao speechless.
Upon arrival at the airport, we quickly boarded the planes, where two Blue Horses and four Persian Scimitars were already waiting in the air.
As the plane accelerated, the group slowly lifted off the ground and rushed towards the eastern night.
"It's finally time to leave."
Wang Hao sighed to himself, saying that he hadn't been able to eat or sleep well that day.
Now it's finally coming to an end.
Ran Qiuye smiled upon hearing this, finally catching up with Yang Xiaotao this time.
At that moment, Yang Xiaotao was discussing the oil pipeline with Old Chen.
"Sir, does what you're saying mean that our country has already agreed to it?"
Yang Xiaotao knew from Old Chen's tone that the matter was settled.
Sure enough, Old Chen nodded and then solemnly said, "The higher-ups are considering the future."
"This region holds over 50% of the world's oil reserves! Its oil production accounts for about one-third of global production, and its oil exports account for 60% of global exports!"
"And what about Persia?"
"Their oil reserves account for more than 10% of the world's total, and their oil transportation once accounted for over 40%!"
What does this mean?
"This means that in the future, this place will be the world's oil pump and the power source of industry."
Yang Xiaotao began to understand Old Chen's plan.
Industrial development is inseparable from oil.
Unfortunately, China's oil reserves are not large, and the amount extracted is also small.
So they set their sights on Persia.
This is currently the honeymoon period for both parties, so they should take advantage of it to quickly reach a deal and seize profits.
If we wait until Mosidov dies, or Alfate dies unexpectedly, it's uncertain whether the Persians will accept this project.
Therefore, they need to finalize the cooperation during this period!
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was silent, Old Chen knew that Yang Xiaotao was thinking about something.
After a moment, Yang Xiaotao asked, "Boss, if I remember correctly, most of Persia's oil is located in the coastal areas."
"Moreover, the terrain in Persia is not flat, with mountains everywhere. It would take several years to build an oil pipeline from the southwest."
Yang Xiaotao expressed his opinion, revealing that he was not optimistic about the project.
After listening to Yang Xiaotao's concerns, Mr. Chen understood them and did some work to address them.
First, the sincerity of both parties in cooperating was confirmed, with one party providing money and the other providing goods.
Secondly, China had close exchanges and discussions with several countries on land, and in the end, the talks went well, and they agreed to lease the land.
Finally, by fully utilizing the principle of winning people over with virtue, they managed to get the Northwest region to conduct a week-long exercise.
It is said that the number of airplanes flying in the sky was denser than the clouds, and the number of Kui oxen running rampant on the ground was greater than the number of people.
Who would dare disagree with that?
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's inquiry, Old Chen told Yang Xiaotao about the construction of the oil pipeline.
"Our plan is to have their oil transported to Turkmenistan by rail, and then through pipelines into the country."
"This way, the risk of being intercepted by sea is avoided."
"Therefore, when we build gas pipelines, we need to make the pipelines larger so that two pipes can be buried!"
When Yang Xiaotao heard what Old Chen said, he immediately felt a headache coming on.
Is this a matter of one set of pipes or two sets of pipes?
Even the materials for these pipes are different, how can we make them?
Furthermore, the West-East Gas Pipeline in China has already been laid; are we going to have to dig it up again and lay new pipes?
Does this imply that they want to go to Turkmenistan to help with the construction?
Have you considered the feelings of your comrades?
Have you considered the consequences of doing this?
Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath, realizing that this was going to be very difficult.
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao wasn't very interested, he said again, "This mission still needs your High-Tech Industry Research Lab to take the lead."
"At that time, Alfat and Beiranvanlong will negotiate cooperation as representatives of Persia."
Whether it works or not depends on you.
