What else can there be in Holmzgan Province? Now, the north has obeyed the central government, but the south is still resisting. Their army, in front of the Iraqi army, is simply a mantis chariot. Zad is very clear about this. He cannot see the future here. Following the governor and others, he can only end up in pieces.

However, the governor is a diehard and is absolutely unwilling to follow the trend. The governor holds the army firmly. Moreover, Zad doesn't know whether he will be liquidated if he is willing to surrender to the central government. He is also very clear about his past.

So, after countless inner tortures, Zade finally made his own choice: leave here, go to Europe, and go to France!

He had already sent his relatives abroad in advance through various excuses, and he himself was waiting for the opportunity now.

Recently, the governor has obtained a batch of weapons through international arms dealers. The transaction volume of these weapons is very large, with several million US dollars. Although the provinces have considerable profits through these oil smuggling exports, it is still difficult to take out the money. Another reason is that the US dollar has depreciated sharply now, so the other party demands to settle directly with gold.

It was not until then that Zad realized that there was actually five tons of gold in the financial vault of Abbas Port, the capital of the province! This was transported from the government's vault before the previous government collapsed. After the treasure fell into the hands of the governor, he was ready to sell it internationally at critical moments and then exchanged for funds and purchased weapons.

With the means of the province, they can only buy some guns and ammunition, and at most they can have a few weapons such as mortars. They cannot buy tanks or fighter jets, and they cannot compete with Iraq at all.

This time, three hundred kilograms of gold were needed, and one of the people in charge of the transaction this time was Zade. He finally found an opportunity.

The gold was transported out of a secret location and was dumped in another warehouse before preparing for trading. So, last night, Zad successfully transported the 300 kilograms of gold bars from the vault under the excuse of trading, and then drove to Lunge Harbor, which is only more than 80 nautical miles away from the drilling platform.

Then, he rented a helicopter from a foreign airline here and transported his large boxes to an offshore drilling platform, which were urgently needed components on the platform.

Since offshore drilling platforms are usually shipped by helicopters at critical moments, and because of the lack of helicopters, the authorities often rent civil aviation helicopters, so the pilots didn't know that the heavy boxes were actually gold bars inside!

The rig was transported to the drilling platform and temporarily placed the box in the warehouse prepared by Mansouri. Then, there would be a tanker they trusted most. After loading crude oil from here, they set off on the road to Europe, and then he could settle in France.

After entering the 1980s, the price of gold soared, and the market value of their batch of gold had reached more than 7 million US dollars. Zad was already satisfied with this batch of funds, plus the funds that had already been deposited in his account.

However, just after arriving on the drilling platform, the situation changed drastically before the tanker arrived.

Zade seized the current excellent opportunity and planned his own actions. His actions could not be discovered until the vault personnel changed shifts the day after tomorrow. However, he did not expect that there was a person who seized this opportunity more than him. Kusai Abdullah actually launched this attack at this time!

When the first shell started on the island and when the fighter planes roared past the sky, Zad knew that the Iraqis had launched an attack.

Zade had known for a long time that the strategic locations of these islands were important, and with Kusai's vision, it would never be impossible to see. This is the throat of the Strait of Hormuz, but Kusai has never moved, which makes them gradually lose their vigilance. Perhaps Kusai has really forgotten this place.

Unexpectedly, Kusai is just choosing the most suitable time!

Now, with the north's surrender, the people's hearts in the south have actually begun to move. At this time, Kusai chose to strike, and it was an absolute advantage. It can be seen from the flying transport planes in the sky that they had sent a lot of force. He knew in his heart that as long as a paratrooper on an aircraft jumped down, he could take over the island below. Now, there are more than twenty transport planes alone.

Zad didn't care who the islands would eventually belong, but now that he was trapped here, he was very anxious.

At this time, he must not have any abnormal movements, otherwise it would be easy to cause fire and stay there, avoiding the most dangerous time of daytime, and then take the tanker to leave at night.

Although he made up such a determination, Zad was still worried. The thing he was most worried about was that these Iraqis would attack these drilling platforms after restoring the islands.

You know, Kusai is definitely jealous of money. These oil platforms will bring huge profits. The next step is to attack these oil platforms. Otherwise, what will he do to send so many troops this time?

"The largest oil platform here is in front of it, Hazardan III, and there is a helicopter platform there." Inside the helicopter, Hades listened to the sound of the pilots in the cabin in front through the mezzanine.

"Two helicopters are covering here, we go down and pedal up there to check," said Hades.

"Captain, they do not belong to us yet, so we may not be able to force the inspection, right? Besides, this is very dangerous. If there are armed personnel there, if we exchange fire, it is likely to cause a fire." The captain of the first team said.

What is there? There is an offshore oil rig, and the most taboo thing there is is fire.

Because any small spark may ignite the combustible gases that appear during the oil production process. There have been instances where the oil platform caught fire due to aging circuits. Most of the employees working on it were burned to death by the fire, and the remaining ones jumped into the sea and drowned half, leaving only less than five people rescued.

So, the captain was very careful to comment with Hades, but he also knew that Hades would never listen.

"What are we? We are members of the Marine Corps, we are iron-killed soldiers, real gold is not afraid of fire, how can we be afraid of fire here? At worst, when we jump into the sea when the fire catches, don't you all swim?"

Jump into the sea? The Mi-24 helicopter is not a search and rescue helicopter. There is no winch on it. If they jumped into the sea, they had to swim back. You know, they sat on the helicopter for ten minutes, but if they were in the sea, they would definitely not swim back for an hour. At that time, they would be exhausted and would be eaten by sharks at any time.

However, the captain didn't speak.

"Oh no, three helicopters are coming." Mansouri's face changed. He turned his head and looked at the flag of the old government on their drilling platform.

Looking at the missiles and rocket nests under the rotors on both sides of the helicopter, he felt a little scared. As long as the other party fired one missile or a few rockets, they would probably be buried in the fire.

However, the other party should not be so cruel. Their purpose of coming here is probably to occupy the oil platform here.

What to do? Thinking of those golden gold bars, would they be cheaper?

"Or we'll get it down," said Mansouri. Although he was afraid, he would rather die if he lost those gold bars.

For the sake of safety at sea, Mansouri has carried several automatic rifles and placed them in a warehouse of gold to deal with possible situations. Now, he wants to take risks.

"No, we can't beat the helicopters, they can destroy us at will." Zad said.

"They won't. In that case, there will be a serious crude oil leakage here. Kusai will pay so much attention to his international image and will definitely not allow such a thing to happen." Mansouri said.

"Aim at the flag in front and break the pole for me," Hades said.

Just as the helicopter was surrounding the oil platform for a week, Hades saw the flag flying on the oil platform and suddenly became angry.

These helicopters are for use by the Marine Corps. From a legal perspective, they need to be commanded by Hades. However, the pilot was a little hesitant when thinking about the possible consequences of the fire.

"That government has fallen long ago, and they are still flying that flag. So, they are terrorists! Think about how many brothers we have fallen under the guns of the enemy under this flag for this war. This flag is a contempt for us. Killing this flag is my order!" Hades said.

There was an order from the superior commander. In the battle, the order of resistance was a very serious crime and could be shot at any time. When I heard Hades' roar coming from the headphones, it was all Hades' orders anyway. Thinking of this, the pilot of Mi-24 finally stopped hesitating.

Below the nose, the 12.7mm four-tube "Catlin" machine gun was constantly adjusting the pitch and azimuth angle under the pilot's operation. At the same time, the helicopter also began to hover and hit the flagpole with the machine gun. This was the first time.

The pilot stabilized the fuselage and at the same time, he used his sight to pull out the thin flagpole.

Heavy anti-tank missiles and rocket nests are operated by pilots in the rear cabin, and machine guns are a weapon that pilots in the front cabin can operate.

Put it in, hold it firmly, and then the pilot presses the thumb on the launch button.

The four-tube machine gun suddenly spit out the flames. In just a few seconds, it saw the flag falling from the highest point of the drilling platform.

When he heard the sound, Mansouri subconsciously hugged his head with his hand, and then he realized how timid and scared he was.

"We are Iraqi Marines, come to this oil platform for inspection." Mi-24, who fired the bullets, began to descend on the flight platform. The Marine soldiers who descended from the rope plane said to the people at the top of the platform.
