The Red Alert Begins in the Wasteland
Chapter 46: Enter Baghdad
As Idris said, when the car entered the Baghdad International Hotel, it was also time for dinner.
After coming down from the highway, there is a checkpoint almost every two kilometers along the way, even in Baghdad, where the cars are very sparse, there are still traffic jams everywhere.
While coming this way, Cai Ruichen was suffocated with anger.
Starting from the first checkpoint of the expressway, he was called to get off every time, and then he explained over and over again his purpose of going to Baghdad.
Each identity verification takes a long time, and the questions are almost the same each time, and he has to repeat the questions answered at the last checkpoint time and time again.
Natasha is the same, repeating the same question over and over again, which is very troublesome.
If it wasn't really for business, Cai Ruichen would have turned around and returned to Marin Town.
Because even after this kind of all-round inspection, he had to pay a cryptic toll at the other party's suggestion before he was allowed to pass.
Anyway, when Cai Ruichen came to the hotel, he had already spent tens of thousands of dollars, and these were only his tickets to Baghdad.
And it still depends on Idris, a local snake, otherwise Cai Ruichen is very doubtful that these so-called Iraqi government soldiers will take themselves away on the grounds of safety, and then blackmail themselves severely.
Fortunately, after entering the hotel, these troubles disappeared. Baghdad International Hotel is one of the few five-star hotels in Baghdad.
Outside the hotel, a row of tall walls protects the hotel, and there are many armed soldiers on guard outside the hotel. On the way from the large iron gate of the hotel wall to the hotel entrance, several layers of anti-fighting piers and thick iron pillars are laid. Once up, the armored vehicles could not rush in.
As for things like tanks, walls can't stop them, and things like piers will naturally have no effect.
However, Cai Ruichen saw anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles on the roof and outside of the hotel.
It’s just that these things have not been used at all, because no one will attack here.
The defense level of the hotel is no less than that of a military base, and all this is for those who come to live in the hotel to see.
is used to tell all tourists that it is safe here.
Of course, the price is not cheap. The cheapest room costs more than one thousand dollars a night, part of which is the so-called security fee.
After another rigorous identity verification, Cai Ruichen finally walked into the room.
"It's more tiring than fighting a battle. I swear that there will be such a situation in the future. I am determined not to come." Cai Ruichen, who just closed the door in the room, couldn't help but vent.
Idris was also quite helpless. Every time he came to Baghdad, he also had to undergo layers of inspection.
The first time he was similar to Cai Ruichen, he was very uncomfortable. After all, the repeated inspections all the way, no one could bear.
"Mr. Cai, don't be angry, let's go have something to eat?"
"Go out outside the hotel?" Cai Ruichen asked back.
"You can't eat good things in the hotel, and it's very expensive." Idris nodded, glanced at Natasha and said: "However, in order not to attract attention, I hope to be separated from this lady. We are here. Together, this lady is alone."
Cai Ruichen glanced at Natasha, shook his head and said, "Since we came out together, we must be together."
"Since Mr. Tsai insists, that can only be done, but it is a bit dangerous." Idris also did not insist, reminding.
"I understand, but I believe nothing can happen." Cai Ruichen naturally understands the taboos between Iraqi men and women, but he is not an Iraqi after all, and Natasha is by his side, so he can go out with confidence.
"Then everyone change clothes, wash the dust all the way, and set off together in half an hour." Idris said.
After half an hour, the three people who had washed all the dust walked out of the hotel's door under the protection of a dozen armed men.
Opposite the hotel, there is a good-grade Iraqi restaurant, just to fill your stomach, and everyone is not picky, and just walked in.
The staff in were all men. The armed men Idris had brought were sitting at one table, and the three of them were sitting at another table.
Seeing Natasha, this woman sitting with Cai Ruichen and others, her attitude was a little cold.
Cai Ruichen didn't care about this, and ordered a large bowl of beef as the general's dinner.
The food goes very quickly, and Cai Ruichen's table is full of food not long after, assorted platter, fried eight pieces, hand-caught lamb, crispy chicken, dried roast beef, fried potato, roasted duck, tomato beef steak.
After the clerk saw the foreigner's face that Natasha had unwrapped, the expression on her face improved a bit.
As for Cai Ruichen, he has already turned the unhappiness in his heart into appetite, and ate it one bite after another.
There are a lot of products on the dinner table, but the quantity is a bit small, but so many dishes are enough for three people.
This is Cai Ruichen's first time to eat outside of Iraq. The food is indeed very good, and the craftsmanship is much better than the machine housekeeper.
The dishes are very delicious, even when the general eats beef, he enjoys more than usual.
At the time of checkout, the price is not very expensive, and it is cheaper than Cai Ruichen estimated in his heart.
After dinner, Ide Lisboa proposed to take Cai Ruichen to go outside. Baghdad is still very beautiful at night.
But Cai Ruichen refused. His identity was already sensitive. In the dark, it is not known how many people are hostile to him.
There is no need to find yourself unhappy. In the future, Baghdad will have time to look at it. There is no need to rush for it.
Just when they returned to the entrance of the hotel, a sudden violent explosion sounded from a distance, and the horizon in the distance soon showed a slight red light.
Cai Ruichen was taken aback by the sudden explosion, but all the Baghdad people around him stopped for a while, and then it seemed as if nothing happened, so just do what they should do.
It seemed that it was not an explosion, but a firecracker, not even a firecracker.
Idris only smiled wryly when he heard the explosion, UU reading www.uukanshu.com also recovered immediately.
The entire hotel is still the same. The people here have long been accustomed to this sudden sound.
When he came to the room on the twelfth floor, Cai Ruichen saw the brightly lit city outside the window, with a little fire burning.
Baghdad, in Cai Ruichen's eyes, is indeed a big city, a very developed city.
Without those armed attacks, Baghdad would indeed be a beautiful capital that would hardly lose to any other city in the Middle East.
Especially after the night ban has been lifted for many years, Baghdad, a big city in the Middle East, almost returned to its former prosperity at night.
is just underneath this beauty, there is a cold death hidden, and there is no day without an explosion.
This kind of explosion at least once a day has been going on for several years, and every Baghdad person has long been used to it.
The numb Baghdad people, I am afraid that they have already seen the separation of life and death, saying that the poor people must be hateful, but in Cai Ruichen's eyes, the people here are more pitiful.
is hateful, but that is only a part of people. If it is a war, such a social situation will not appear at all.
The disasters, pain, and death brought about by war are only temporary, but it is good for them to be afraid of the sharp conflicts left over by the war for a long time.
"Natasha, can we save this place?" Cai Ruichen suddenly asked, looking at the night view of Baghdad city outside the window.
Natasha did not answer, but stood quietly behind him.
