Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 994 Peaceful life in the war zone

Noriega ran away? !

Hearing this news, everyone present was taken aback. Except for a few officers who had entered the building, most of them had the same mentality as Carter, and felt that the task had been completed for the time being.It can be turned into a state of combat readiness and defense, and the result.
"Could he have another residence? Like his hometown or something?"

Someone quickly came up with an idea of ​​his own.With the beginning of a person, there will be more chattering voices.

Some people suspect that Noriega has fled abroad, especially Cuba. I heard that this person seems to have a good relationship with Castro; some people suspect that Noriega fled to the embassy district, seeking political asylum; When I arrived in the United States, I played "Black Under the Light" for everyone.

Carter didn't know much about this battle in his previous life.During the operation, I have never been to the front line. emm, I have not many clues to enter the front line of the main building.Carter didn't express any opinions, just quietly waiting for the results to come out.

"Issuing a reward order, anyone who provides information on Noriega's location, if it is proven to be true, will be rewarded with 100 million US dollars! In addition, the fourth battalion will surround the embassy area; the fifth battalion will cooperate with the rangers to conduct a carpet search in the city!"

With the final decision of the task force commander, Carter had to part with Rick again.Take your own team, turn into the embassy area of ​​​​Panama City, and set up checkpoints on the outer streets.

Posters with Noriega's photos were posted one by one, and Carter also received a copy and distributed them to various checkpoints.To compare and confirm the personnel entering and leaving the embassy area one by one.

It takes four days to do this inspection.

During these four days, Carter's life gradually returned to normal.Even in a war zone, there are safe areas and non-safe areas. Places close to the center and heavily stockpiled are unsurprisingly safe areas.

During the days here, except for the occasional sound of "fried beans" and the slightly special work, everything else is the same as normal.Of course, in the past few days, there have been many fishers in troubled waters who randomly guessed a location and came to the US military to ask for money, betting with an outstanding attitude!

It doesn't matter if the information provided is wrong, but what if the information is correct?
100 million dollars!
The existence of this group of people directly affected Carter. Even the fourth battalion they were in charge of encircling the embassy area was once dispatched to search the place of the informant.The result, of course, is nothing.

The sun shone on the ground on December 12th, and the gunshots in the urban area had changed from frequent to occasional, and today, it has become rare.Carter admitted that the Panamanians have a strong will to resist, but the foundation is too weak!

If it's outside the city, it's okay to say, after all, there is a lot of space, but inside the city, anyone who has the courage to point a gun at the U.S. military will probably be at the end of the day.But outside the city, the sporadic resistance forces that frequently appeared caused the US military to increase its troops several times.Obviously, guerrillas are somewhat of a psychological shadow for the U.S. military who are used to cannons washing the ground.
What North Korea, Vietnam, right?

At this time, the United States was not so optimistic as to call home for Christmas. When it discovered that there were many guerrillas in Panama, it immediately began to increase its troops.At the same time, as the situation in Panama City stabilized, the military police were also pulled here.The wartime order in Panama City dominated by the will of the US military is rapidly being established.
"Dude, three tortillas, three hojaldres, and six coffees to go!"

Same as the previous two days, Carter chose to settle nearby for breakfast.

There is really no need to eat high-calorie and high-energy things like combat rations early in the morning.With the establishment of wartime order, many shops also opened their doors.After all, life has to go on.
For these small businessmen, not opening the door for a day may mean starvation.

"OK OK!"

The fat shop owner doesn't know much English.But he could understand the gestures. When Carter held up three fingers, he said tortillas and hojaldres, and when he said coffee, he held up six fingers with both hands.
There is no barrier to communication!

After a while, Carter got the food he wanted.Tortillas called tacos in Mexico and tortillas in Panama are thinner and crispier than tacos.But Carter didn't like this texture very much, so he changed to another sandwich based on tortillas
A sandwich, a cup of coffee, and another sunny day begins!

"Guys, breakfast is here!"

Carrying a bag of things, I returned to the company command post.Since it is determined that they will be stationed here for a long time, and there is no possibility of withdrawing troops if Noriega is found, the command post looks a lot better this time.This is a requisitioned residential house. After the original owner rented the house to the US military, he took his family and moved to the countryside.

"Wuhu! Here we come!"

Amidst the cheers, several people from the company department sat around and began to enjoy their own breakfast.

"Captain, how long do you think we will be around here? Tomorrow is Christmas, maybe Noriega is really not here?"

"Who knows, let's see the order above. But you are right, tomorrow is Christmas, starting tonight, you should be given access to satellite phone communications, and call your family when the time comes!"

Chewing the food in his mouth, Carter's answer was a little vague:
"As for tomorrow, I haven't received any activity arrangements from the battalion headquarters. If not, let's do it ourselves. Andrew, you can go around the city today to see if you can find a place that sells turkey. If so, buy more turkeys, and tomorrow we will make a fire and roast them ourselves, and it will be considered a holiday.”

"okay, I get it!"

"Only turkey, Captain."

"Turkey would be nice, David! This is a war zone!"

Before the festival comes, I feel somewhat depressed psychologically.For most soldiers, this may be the first time they have spent Christmas away from their families, and in such a foreign country.
Of course, there is no shortage of condolences from the superiors.What kind of cigarettes, beer, chocolate candies, that is a complete set, gathered together, and a simple but not simple Christmas dinner tomorrow, it must be enough!
As the commander of Company C in the center of the safety zone, Carter really has no pressure.Based on the location of their company, they can hold a Christmas dinner without worrying about being disturbed by some guns.It's just that there are no guns to disturb, and there will always be other things to disturb.
"Captain, the joint meeting! I need you to go there quickly!"

Just after breakfast, Carter had just lit an after-dinner cigarette, and before taking two sips, a report from the messenger Davy broke the tranquility.

"Is there any notification about it?"

Reluctantly getting up, he took one last puff of his cigarette, and while pressing the end of the cigarette, Carter asked casually.

"Noriega has been found! It's in the embassy area we are in charge of!"

"what?!"
