Chapter 172 Forgotten
Deer nodded, patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "So, you are a traditional Arab. You abide by the Arab tradition and you are determined not to abide by the oaths signed with the enemy, but you hope that I am also a traditional British man, abide by the British tradition and respect any oaths, right?
Unfortunately, you were wrong. I am a scheming person, a rigorous and self-disciplined person. For many years, I have always liked the saying "For tooth for tooth, for blood for blood," said - Oh, I forgot, this saying also seems to originate in Arabia."
As he said this, Deer sighed: "I have another common Hollywood problem. I'm dying, have I told you so much?"
Deer waved his hand, and the bodyguard immediately pulled the trigger...
There is a few hours of time difference between Switzerland and Iraq. When the Swiss put on old-fashioned black suits and tied them to work in the bank, it was already noon. Iraqi security situation has improved slightly in the past few days, and the establishment of a new government has made Iraqis full of good expectations for the future. As a result, the number of shootings in the city has decreased dramatically by the naked eye, which has made the work of doctors in the battlefield medical center easier.
At noon that day, An Feng finished his work early and rested easily.
An Feng has two diplomas, one is a medical assistant diploma, and the other is a neurosurgery diploma. The former is an undergraduate degree and the latter is a doctorate. He was recommended by Colombia University to participate in battlefield rescue, so in the medical center, the main function is the Colombia University diploma.
But because he also has a medical assistant diploma, An Feng has always been a role in the institute between a doctor and a clinician assistant. When the medical institute needs to use his surgical skills, he is a surgeon; when the outside world is relatively calm and there are not many surgeries, he is a medical assistant supervisor - responsible for managing nurses and other "clinicians" doctors, or nursing doctors responsible for the hospital bed).
Today is strange. The nurses and medical assistants didn't come to find trouble. He sat in the doctor's office with several doctors, chatting leisurely, and felt that life was good. If this peace continued, everyone's battlefield rescue mission would be easy to complete. After this battlefield rescue was completed, everyone's public welfare mission indicators within three years were also considered to be completed.
The doctors were excited about this topic. They thought that this kind of security transfer would continue, but they didn't know that by the end of this year, after the negotiations between the parties were not successful, due to uneven distribution of spoils, dog bites and dogs broke out within the new government, and the situation in Iraq turned sharply...
This kind of chat is not something An Feng is good at. An Feng usually only participates in this kind of chat, but never speaks. Everyone is talking very enthusiastically, and An Feng just hums a few words appropriately to echo - at this time, Deer had just finished his "work". He did not tell An Feng that he had "handled" Salvi and the old man. An Feng doesn't like to talk about this kind of thing during the day because during the day, An Feng is an upright person and a doctor who follows the rules.
He was participating with his chin, but in fact he was stunned and dazed. Dr. Kevin, who was sitting next to him, pushed An Feng with his shoulder and asked gossip: "Where are you going to take a vacation this weekend?"
An Feng shrugged: "I have no idea... do you have any good suggestions?"
Dr. Kevin immediately replied: "I heard that the civil aviation system of Baghdad has been restored. I plan to fly to the Mediterranean next week. Oh, it is better to find an island to be idle than staying in Iraq. Although it has become much calmer here, the air is still filled with tension. I was nervous in this nervous environment for more than a month, and I need to find a lazy place to take a rest."
"It's the Mediterranean? It's interesting," An Feng touched his chin and pondered.
Baghdad is located in the center of the narrowest and most places in the Arab plate. Walking south, you can cross Kuwait and enter the Persian Gulf; walking north, you can also not have much distance. You can cross Syria and Lebanon and reach the Mediterranean.
Compared with the Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf is a pool of stagnant water. Due to frequent sea tankers, the Persian Gulf has been greatly polluted, and the fish in the country are almost inedible. Even Arabs are reluctant to take a vacation here with such a pool of stagnant water.
"How is Cyprus?" An Feng pondered: "I heard that the island is half Turkish and half Greek. A small island has two styles and two cultures. I really want to see where the scenery is?"
"There are also the Knights of Malta. Cyprus was once the headquarters of the Knights of Malta. It is said that the remnants of the Teutonic Knights were also stationed there." Kevin heard An Feng mention Cyprus and couldn't help but feel spiritual: "The Knights of Malta are the only remaining Knights today. We can visit his former regiment headquarters, and maybe we can get a knight honor... Do you have any way to do this?"
The title of "Knight" of the Knights of Malta is no longer worth much money, but in social places, there is such a name. When you enter, you are notified loudly. It feels very noble and proud of your appearance... Of course, doctors are the easiest people to obtain this title. Because the Knights of Malta were the Knights of Hospitals, they once had territory, but later lost their territory due to war. Now the Knights of Malta are engaged in charity activities, managing hospitals, caring for refugees and disabled people in the war.
Today's Knights of Malta. The United Nations still recognizes its quasi-national status and calls it the "Knights of Malta". Although it has no territory, its knights automatically obtain the status of UN observer. Its national form is "located" at the UR of Condodi Street, Rome, a building covering an area of 10,000 square meters - the Palace of Malta. The Knights of Malta only have dozens of residents, but it has 12,000 "Knights" with members covering Europe and the United States, including Spain's King Juan Carlos, former Italian Prime Minister Francesco Cosiga, former US Treasury Secretary William Simon and other celebrities.
An Feng automatically ignored Kevin's words and pondered: "We need to get a yacht, we need to contact a small hotel..."
"Ah, then hurry up, I haven't seen my family for a long time. Please wait. I'll call my family and ask them to go on vacation in Cyprus together."
An Feng's face was thrusting. How much money could this guy make in Iraq? He actually summoned his family to Cyprus for vacation. And An Feng's vacation method...was that guy provoked?
However, foreigners are more concerned about human "sociality". They finally come to Iraq for a walk. If they can't even make a few friends after going back, then An Feng will be too embarrassed. The ways to make friends include establishing common interests with friends and taking a vacation together.
"Okay, let's put the matters of the Knights of Malta first. I want to contact the holiday..." An Feng wanted to say something, but Kevin was already running happily while contacting his family.
It didn't take much time to make a vacation arrangement in Cyprus, but the other party's words made An Feng think. After he got things done, he heard Kevin was still chatting with his family in the corridor, and he was deeply moved. He grabbed the phone and called Sakura Villa.
The phone was connected, but no one came to answer the phone for a long time. An Feng thought about it and then dialed Susanna's cell phone. The phone... actually disappeared.
After hanging up the phone, An Feng thought for a while and called Zhang Shuting. It was actually late at night in New York on Thursday, and it would take several hours to welcome the dawn of New York on Friday.
After the phone rang several times, An Feng was almost out of patience. Zhang Shuting answered the phone in a daze and shouted in annoyance: "Who is it?"
An Feng whispered: "It's me, Kane An, I'm in Iraq, are you all okay?"
Zhang Shuting was stunned for a while before recalling: "Okay, okay, it's you, ah, I'm almost suffocating. You don't know, the day after you left, Sister Susanna moved to the police station and said that she was going to perform a mission. She might not come back for a few days. Now I'm the only one left in the house. I'm really suffocating."
An Feng asked in surprise: "Why didn't she notify me when she left?"
Zhang Shuting responded: "Sister Susanna said she was performing a secret mission, so I won't tell you now. Maybe when you come back from Iraq, her mission will be completed. Everything will be normal at that time, and there is no need to worry you."
After a moment of pause, Zhang Shuting asked: "Brother Kane, how is the situation in Baghdad? Tell me quickly, are you still fighting? I often see explosions in your place on TV. I also want to remind you, Brother Kane, stay away from the temple, I find that I love explosions there the most."
In fact, Iraq has the most explosions, roadside bombs. Some people often put a remote-controlled mine on the side of the road in the coalition patrol areas, and detonate the mine when the patrol convoy approaches. The casualties caused by this explosion are mainly coalition soldiers. Because it rarely involves civilians, it is rarely reported in the news.
Initially, when the coalition forces entered Baghdad, there was a roadside bomb explosion almost every day. When the new Iraqi government was sworn in, there were fewer and fewer roadside bombs. As the new government police announced that they would take over certain areas of the city, roadside bombs began to be scarce. This week, not counting the several fire exchanges that An Feng personally participated in, roadside bombs and explosion attacks launched by the Iraqis have been reduced to one day.
In such a large city, with a population of millions, only one explosion occurred every day. The target of the explosion was still a coalition soldiers hiding in thick armored vehicles. Such casualties were insignificant.
After a while, Dr. Kevin had finished chatting with his family. He ran over and asked An Feng: "Have you arranged it? I want to inform my family. How do we go to Cyprus and how to take a vacation?"
When Zhang Shuting heard the word vacation on the phone, she immediately shouted: "I'm going to go, I'm going to go. This place is so suffocating that Brother Kane. Let me go there and talk to you. I'm so bored that I'm almost crazy."
An Feng did not put down the phone. He told Dr. Kevin and Zhang Shuting on the phone: "On the southern bank of Cyprus, there is a medium-sized yacht, and two small yachts are rented out all year round. If you want to rent a yacht, I think you don't need to make an appointment at the hotel on the shore. It is said that the owner of the yacht is very good at cooking."
An Feng quickly said the appointment phone number. Dr. Kevin took a note of one of the phones and said in a negotiation tone: "Then, we don't have to separate the yachts too far. Cyprus is a strange place to me, I hope..."
After pausing, Dr. Kevin suddenly remembered An Feng's unmarried identity. Alas, unmarried young people have a variety of ways to take vacations. For middle-class people like unmarried doctors, they have money and leisure, and many beauties want to rely on them. Even famous international supermodels say that they want to marry a doctor. Therefore, the way of vacation for young doctors... may be ridiculous and absurd and lewd.
"That place... I hope our yachts are not too far apart. Both sides are visually distanced. If something happens, they can echo each other..." Dr. Kevin stammered.
"This...is no problem. Anyway, I may..." I can't find Susanna, who will be invited to have a vacation together? Fanny? No, now this female reporter is in the limelight, so it's better to stay away from it.
Juliana? No, foreign trade unions do not encourage office romance. Once two young people in the same unit are found in love, one of them needs to resign. It is said that this is to protect the family - the two are employed in the same unit, and the risk of unemployment doubles.
While pondering, Zhang Shuting immediately answered the phone: "Brother Kane, let me go and let me go. We didn't have classes this weekend, and I was worried about how to spend this weekend... I promise to be good after I go there, and I won't cause trouble for you. I will only see the scenery and not be naughty."
An Feng sighed and told the other party helplessly: "Okay, I'll ask the bodyguard to take you to the airport later. There will be a plane picking you up at the airport..."
After Zhang Shuting got on the plane, this high-speed business passenger took Zhang Shuting to Europe. Finally, she took a seaplane and landed in the water where the yacht was located...
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Shuting went to pack her luggage excitedly. An Feng pinched the phone and pondered for a moment, and greeted Dr. Kevin: "Hi, Kevin, please help me with the shift for a while, I'll go out and arrange my itinerary."
Dr. Kevin naturally agreed to him. An Feng returned to the villa in a depressed mood and stayed alone for a while. Finally, he couldn't help calling Dr. Tom: "Doctor, I have been in Baghdad for two weeks and have not received any relevant instructions."
Dr. Tom replied quickly: "No orders, we have received reports on your general actions in Iraq. Starting next week, you will go to Fallujah as a military medical staff... Well, our test on you has ended, and the following should be the process of your self-growth. We hope you can exercise your on-site response skills on the battlefield. But as a medical staff, you are not suitable for participating in patrol searches, so staying in Fallujah and doing things according to the requirements of the local commander, maybe we will use you, but maybe not, who can say that."
An Feng pretended to be a casual question: "I heard that Susanna has started a secret mission."
Dr. Tom was silent for a moment and said, "Susanna's jurisdiction has been handed over, and she no longer belongs to me... My dear student, this experimental subject has never belonged to you, and has never belonged to you, so don't ask her where she went.
About her… I can only say that she needs to perform a secret mission, which may take a week, but may take a month. Now her jurisdiction does not belong to me, they - do you know who I am talking about? They have no obligation to inform me.
Well, I can only say so much to you, do you understand? You should understand that in this line, you may not have the opportunity to notify your family before performing a task. Even if she is your family, she cannot say something to you."
An Feng paused for a few seconds and said slowly: "I'm a little confused. What's the purpose of asking me to come to Iraq.
Dr. Tom immediately replied: "I need to put a layer of military color on you. Your current cover is so perfect, an impeccable doctor, but after having an Iraqi battlefield experience, you can get in touch with guns and occasionally show some military skills, it is not surprising.
Yes, my purpose is here. In the future, you will perform more tasks. These tasks are far from enough to use as a doctor. For example, you did not dare to touch guns in front of Susanna before, because you were afraid to show your familiarity with guns, and you are afraid that Susanna will become suspicious.
And when you come back from Iraq, you don’t have to worry about it. Baghdad is very chaotic, no one knows what you have experienced there, and after you come back from that, people will take it for granted that they are familiar with various advanced weapons.
There are four months of summer vacation, so you can exercise well there. There is a new weapon test site. I hope you will be familiar with various new weapons as soon as possible and the digital devices equipped by soldiers in the army... Try not to leave yourself idle. Learn more, and your new identity will appear more impeccable."
"I see."
An Feng was a little sad and disappointed when he hung up the phone, but he did not regret going on this path. Since he was on this path, the familiar people did not even say goodbye suddenly. This is the norm, and he did not have too much sadness.
Life has to continue.
When night fell, Dr. Kevin told An Feng that the vacation team had expanded again. He heard that there were extra oil tingers in the local area, and three doctors helped, and two doctors decided to join An Feng's team. They began to call on friends, making the entire medical office full of turmoil.
At this time, Juliana was still sleeping in An Feng's dormitory, and Gloria did not go to work. Baghdad, where the communication was not smooth, no one informed these people who did not work. An Feng also forgot to notify them.
