The Red Alert Begins in the Wasteland

In the northern province of Iraq, at the junction of Syria and Iraq, the Tigris River descending from Turkey runs through this plateau. The mountains formed around the Caspian Sea meander to the river, forming a beautiful and spectacular landscape.

This is one of the birthplaces of Middle Eastern civilization. With more than five thousand years of human habitation history, it has gradually become a past tense in the long river of human history after dynasties and civilizations went south.

But in today's modern society, there are still many villages and tribes that still maintain ancient living customs.

Retaining the most primitive life, the same is that it is also the most closed here.

There is not even a cell phone signal, only a satellite phone can communicate with the outside world.

There are farmhouses deep in the high mountains and flowing water, and the primitive life keeps the purity of nature here. The black goat alpine coarse grain has become the only support for people here.

The lack of news and little interaction with the outside world have also caused people here to have simple thinking, follow the ancient tradition, and are being controlled by extreme emotions and thoughts. What can't be controlled is violence and threats.

The peace here is long gone, and the civilized order far away, everything is so primitive.

Steep mountains and hidden cedar forests make this the best place to avoid aerial reconnaissance strikes and satellite surveillance.

Therefore, such a place has become a paradise for many extremist organizations, and it has also become an excellent place for many people to avoid outside investigation and hunting.

And because there is no external communication, it is difficult for people here to receive outside news, and there is no phone to contact the outside, hiding in such a place is perfect.

However, in this world, there has never been an impermeable wall, let alone in the environment of the big world, the mountainous areas in northern Iraq have always been the most popular places for extremist organizations to hide.

Therefore, such an environment is the best hiding place. But it is also the favorite place of all intelligence personnel.

Even in places you don't know, there are people hiding in dark houses. Use satellite phones to communicate with others. Once the valuable news is delivered, the dollars in exchange are enough to keep the family safe for life.

But once it was discovered, the bloodiest retaliation was exchanged, and even if it was suspected casually, it would immediately lead to killing.

No one here stands up for them. There is not even any law or law enforcement, just follow the ancient habits.

At the mouth of Shanggu River, a small village is located on a small plain on a small mountain stream where the mountains and rivers flow. It is surrounded by straight high mountains, and the mountains on both sides sandwich a small spring stream.

The Shanggu River Mouth is located in this place, facing the two high mountains from east to west, so that this small village under the deep mountain stream has an average of less than three hours of sunshine per day, and the night has always come very fast.

Because the mountains on both sides are very straight. Surrounded by mountains, woods and shrubs, all the radio equipment that enters this small mountain village will lose its effect. Only those satellite communication devices can barely reach the outside.

From high to low, there is only one path in and out of this small mountain stream, and there is no other way to go in and out.

In the mountain stream, there are about 20 families, almost all of them are elderly and children. It is rare to see young men and women.

Because of the hardships of life, almost all the prime-ages of every family are earning a living, leaving behind some women as well as the elderly and children.

It can be said that the small village here is completely a village without much defense. But if you think so, it would be wrong, because almost everyone here is carrying a rifle, most of which are AK-47, which is enough to show the sturdiness of the people in this small mountain village.

Especially when the black goats are usually grazing on the mountain. The elderly and children in the group also carried weapons and went out in groups.

Because even if they are far away from the general public, they can understand the dangers of the world. The more they are in such a place, the more dangerous they are.

However, the weapons in their hands, at best, are defense against thieves or homeless people, and they can't stop those truly extreme organizations.

The Shanggu River Mouth, which has been controlled for more than three years, has also become one of the most hidden locations of the Islamic State.

However, the original villagers here did not suffer any persecution. When Baghdadi appeared, he received the support of these ignorant villagers as a caliph.

At the same time, Baghdadi also brought them a lot of daily necessities and built a small generator set in the mountains to provide electricity to the villagers.

Of course, provide the necessary power supply to the headquarters. After all, communication equipment, if there is no power supply, it is just scrap iron, and when necessary, various batteries must be charged. Without power, I can’t stay here for a day. .

And Baghdadi’s identity is respected here, and it is closely related to the many practical benefits he brings.

After all, no one is a fool. It is a better life to have a gun on one side, and the people here also know how to choose.

Above the mountain stream, under the dense forest full of sheep dung, and among the bushes, two motionless figures have been lurking here for three days.

During these three days, the two of them did not leave their current positions whether they were eating or drinking Lazarus. In the past three days, the two of them only took turns to rest, constantly monitoring the Shanggu River mouth below.

Only three days later, the small village they monitored did not show any abnormality at all~www.wuxiaspot.com~ More than 20 households, with less than 60 people, such a population base, for ordinary families in the Middle East , Already considered very few.

And they are all elderly and children, as well as some women wearing green cloaks.

However, the two did not relax because of this, because there was a wooden house at the back of the village, which was obviously far away from the village.

The size of the wooden house is not small, it is larger than the average house in the village, and the building materials are all made from nearby fir.

Almost all of their eyes were fixed on this wooden house, because in this wooden house, there was a small antenna swaying under the breeze of the mountain forest.

At the same time, in front of this wooden house, there is a large tripod for receiving satellite signals. You can see obvious lines connecting to the wooden house.

Through these three days of observation, none of the villagers at the Shanggu River Mouth would approach the wooden house, and at least two armed men would patrol the wooden house every day.

In the village, there are also more than 20 armed men who are active, and they usually live in the same house with those villagers. (To be continued.) SJGSF0916
