Beirut, the capital of Lebanon,
"Headquarters, this is B2. I just came out of the airport. Where are you going now?"
An Asian man with an average appearance and a height of about 1.78 meters looked around blankly and whispered into the phone.
“Go to the embassy, your vacation is waiting for you there”
A woman's lazy voice came over the other side of the phone, sounding as if she hadn't woken up.
“Who comes to Lebanon for the holidays?”
Zhang Liang muttered speechlessly, would a normal person come to this ghost place for vacation? Are you ready to experience whether Israel's artillery fire is strong enough?
"Be content. B1's vacation spot is in Baghdad. How about I exchange it for you two?"
"Forget it then, they are all the same."
What is the difference between Baghdad and Beirut?
Zhang Liang hung up the phone helplessly, and then followed the map's guidance and took a taxi to the Chinese Embassy in the center of Beirut.
"Hello, I'm looking for Ambassador Han. I have an appointment."
After showing the relevant documents, Zhang Liang asked the staff next to him.
"follow me"
I followed the staff member in front of me, who seemed not very talkative, to a room on the second floor. After knocking on the door a few times, a deep voice came from inside.
"Please come in"
"Ambassador Han, the person you were waiting for has arrived."
The staff member pushed open the door and whispered, then nodded to Zhang Liang and turned to leave.
"Hello Ambassador Han, I am Zhang Liang"
"Who's on vacation?"
Ambassador Han raised his head and looked around, then asked with a smile.
"Uh, yes, here for vacation!"
Zhang Liang emphasized the word vacation. He was really on vacation now. Who knows what the headquarters was thinking, and they actually sent him here temporarily!
As a covert operator of China's overseas operations team, he and B1 had just completed an operation in Morocco.
It was originally planned to give the two of them a holiday and let them have a rest, but I never thought that one would go to Iraq and the other would come to Lebanon...
"Haha, welcome Zhang Liang, I hope you have a happy holiday in Lebanon."
Ambassador Han finished speaking playfully, pressed the phone again, and called in an assistant.
"You go and rest first. Your 'companion' will arrive in the evening. I will let you know then."
"Okay, thank you Ambassador Han"
What else could Zhang Liang say, he could only follow the assistant to a temporary lounge on the third floor.
"Would you like to prepare lunch for you?"
The assistant is not very old. Compared with the serious staff Zhang Liang met along the way, this one is obviously much more cheerful.
"Let's have one, I'm really hungry."
Zhang Liang nodded gratefully. He couldn't get enough of the airplane meal!
"Okay, but supplies are a little tight lately. There's nothing particularly good. It's usually just lunch boxes."
The assistant said a little embarrassed, but how could Zhang Liang choose this? What didn't he eat when he was in the army?
Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Liang started to cook attentively, and also made a phone call to another unlucky guy.
"Hello, are Iraqis very welcoming?"
Da da da,
The faint sound of gunfire came over, and Zhang Liang asked while suppressing a smile.
"It's quite enthusiastic. Two groups of hospitable Iraqis downstairs are greeting each other with AKs."
A male voice sounded very calm, but if you listen carefully you can hear a hint of irritation.
"Then I've made a profit. At least I'm sitting in the embassy eating with peace of mind."
Zhang Liang smiled, what should I do if someone is more unlucky than me?
Taunt him, otherwise what are you waiting for!
"Whenever you cry, hang up!"
After listening to Zhang Liang's words, the person on the other end became obviously more irritated. He no longer gave Zhang Liang a chance to ridicule and hung up the phone decisively.
"Anyway, as long as I'm luckier than you now..."
Zhang Liang muttered, and then continued to sweep away the uneaten food.
The guy opposite is called Zhen Ye. Although his name sounds like he is a restless person, on the contrary, this guy has a very calm and delicate personality, just the opposite of Zhang Liang.
Originally, Zhang Liang's father hoped that he could become a man with outstanding intelligence like the counselor Zhang Liang. Unexpectedly, this kid was crooked, and his strength and IQ were seriously imbalanced...
Zhang Liang was completely forced to join the army before, because he has become a well-known problem child near his hometown and a typical negative teaching material.
His family really couldn't control it anymore, so he was asked to join the army, hoping that the army could reform him.
Don't tell me, the effect was really immediate. The troops were not used to his faults at all, and Zhang Liang, a thorn in his side, was given a hard lesson.
However, Zhang Liang's physical fitness is indeed very good, and many special forces like this kind of thorns. They feel that it will be more fulfilling to deal with such people, so Zhang Liang was directly assigned to the reconnaissance company when he joined the company.
In this way, Zhang Liang stayed in the army for seven years, and even served in the secret army for two and a half years. Until now, this department came to the team to replenish manpower.
He just joined here last year. Originally, he didn't want to come, but there is really a shortage of operational personnel with practical experience and high personal qualities here.
I don’t know how the other party negotiated with his troops, but he was the one who came in the end...
Zhen Ye joined a year earlier than him. He was considered his senior. He also came out of the secret army, but he was not on active duty, but was re-recruited after retirement.
“I hope there won’t be too many surprises during this vacation.”
After finishing the meal, Zhang Liang lit a cigarette and leaned comfortably on the sofa.
Their action team is not like those specially trained agents and spies who are restricted by various rules and regulations. The rules of the action team are to eat and drink, and as long as the action is not delayed, they can do whatever they like.
After all, when it was their turn, they were all risking their lives...
At about six o'clock in the evening, there was a slight knock on the door.
When the other party's footsteps approached the door, Zhang Liang had already woken up from his sleep state.
"Hello, Ambassador Han asked me to inform you to go to his room."
"Got it, thank you"
Zhang Liang replied, it seemed that his vacation had come.
After tidying up his clothes a little, Zhang Liang went directly to Ambassador Han's room downstairs without anyone else leading the way.
"Let me introduce you to each other. This is Zhang Liang, the military attache who is accompanying you this time."
Seeing him come in, Ambassador Han introduced the two people in the room who had just stood up.
"These two are reporters from the main station. Your mission this time is to protect their safety during the interview."
After Mr. Han finished speaking, he winked at Zhang Liang, meaning that these two are your vacation.
"Hello, my name is Zhong Rong, and this is my photographer Kong Bailing."
Zhong Rong stretched out his hand, shook hands with Zhang Liang who was a little stunned, and said with a smile.
The security in Lebanon is average and gets worse the closer to the border, which is why a military attache will be arranged to protect them.
"Um, hello."
Zhang Liang quickly came to his senses and nodded to the two of them.
But this guy was madly complaining in his heart, or roaring loudly.
"Family members, who knows, I don't want to be a nanny!"
