752 -690: The Strong-willed Boss Qiao

“What exactly happened?”

Steven, faced with questions from a CNN reporter, shook his head solemnly and said, “Turkey has launched an airstrike on the Kurdish people within Iraqi territory?

I don’t know who gave them the right to enter Iraq’s airspace, but this is aggression!”

As he spoke, Steven looked at a group of incredibly curious reporters and waved his hand saying, “I can tell you a few confirmed pieces of information…

As far as I know, last night, not only did the Turkish bomb Kurdish bases, but they also bombed a small village on the Iraqi border.

The place was originally a significant stronghold of ISIS, and we had a team, covered by the air power of a military contracting company, trying to rescue 15 hostages kidnapped by ISIS there.

They had succeeded, they could have gotten away safely, but the Turkish dropped two cluster bombs right on their heads.

Then our allies had no choice but to take down those crazed Turkish fighter jets…”

The CNN reporter, holding up a recording pen, said loudly, “Sir, does what you’re saying imply you suspect the Turkish are silencing witnesses?

To my knowledge, ISIS recently posted a video online of hostages being dismembered, claiming that no benefits could make them compromise.

Does ISIS have some kind of frightening leverage in their hands?

Is the Turkish attack directed by certain instructions?”

Steven shook his head and said, “I don’t know, I haven’t been focusing much on military matters recently because I’ve been dedicated to stabilizing Iraq, and you’ve all seen the recent results.

I don’t understand why this would happen, I can only tell you what I know to be true.

As for the answers behind it, you’ll have to find out for yourselves.”

Speaking, Steven pointed in the direction of the Baghdad Air Force Base, his disappointment immense, “The Turkish actions have escalated the situation, I don’t know what will happen, I need to go there to see.

I, like you, want to know, what exactly is behind this incident?

God forbid, I hope it doesn’t impact the reconstruction in the south of Iraq.

Those old people, women, and children shouldn’t have to go through terrible warfare anymore!

We’ve already obtained the key to peace, millions are benefiting from it.

Our Iraqi allies are smiling happily every day…

Why?

I damn well want to know why?”

…………

While turmoil brewed everywhere, Boss Qiao was sitting in a house in the Kurdish Temporary Safety Zone, connecting to a video call.

Xiao Hei, the tech expert who had just launched the second drone in the safety zone, had helped set up a set of network communication equipment.

‘Hellhound’ and Jack Heinz sat next to Joe Ga, their faces ashen…

The operation should have gone smoothly, if only the airstrikes had been as accurate as usual, landing close to their guided targets, if only conventional missiles or precision-guided bombs were used, then many would not have died…

Thirty people from Halliburton involved in the operation were turned to mincemeat in the first wave of cluster bombs.

Six military prisoners, carefully selected from the prison, died three and were seriously injured two in the second wave of bombings, with only Jack and another lucky one still intact.

By then, even idiots would realize they had been duped.

The hostage rescue operation did exist, but someone altered some key details in the operation, leading the Turkish Air Force to include both the soldiers rescuing and the hostages in the attack range.

Some people just wanted everyone to shut up, and the rescue mission was just for show, killing the hostages was what they wanted.

Thinking about what the CIA agent among the hostages had told him, they had provided ISIS with a large number of deadly weapons to find dirty bombs, even betraying some ally’s secrets to ISIS, ‘Hellhound’ felt a chill…

Such actions can be forgiven at a national stance, after all, it was about three dirty bombs, affecting the lives and deaths of thousands.

But the mission failed, and some politicians would definitely be pushed out to take responsibility.

It was a conspiracy, one started by certain politicians to cover up their own mistakes.

They, the SEALs who had their military status revoked, were just inconsequential sacrificial pawns.

Watching Boss Qiao connect to the call, and the American Secretary of Defense Carter and the Turkish Foreign Minister appearing on the screen, ‘Hellhound’ bowed his head in silence, clenching his fists tightly…

Because of the camera angle, the two on the other side couldn’t see ‘Hellhound’ and Jack Heinz.

The somewhat lean Turkish Foreign Minister, upon seeing Joe Ga, began to bellow loudly, “Release our pilots immediately, return our fighter jets.

If our pilots haven’t come home by tomorrow, we will attack you…

You, and the damned P·B, must pay for your ignorant actions!”

It had been a long time since anyone spoke to Joe Ga like that.

He smirked at the rabid Turkish Foreign Minister, gave him the finger, and then said to the American Secretary of Defense Carter, “Sir, we didn’t know beforehand they were Turkish, and they were attacking our allies, the SEALs…”
