I love you, I won't kill you

As the deputy commander of the intelligence battalion lieutenant colonel, the executive officer needs to verify the authenticity of the large amount of intelligence collected and summarized every day, process and analyze it and provide it to the lieutenant colonel and the command center.

Amanda, who became an assistant executive officer, was engaged in the job of sorting out and summarizing all kinds of complicated battlefield intelligence for the executive officer.However, when she was just beginning to get used to the living treatment of an "office lady", the lieutenant colonel called her into a miniature meeting room made of polymer panels.

"Sir, good morning." Amanda walked to the back of the desk and saluted the lieutenant colonel sitting opposite.

"Nice to see you again, Lieutenant. Please take a seat," said the lieutenant colonel.

Glancing at the several report materials in front of him, the lieutenant colonel said slowly, "Second lieutenant, do you know why I transferred you from the law enforcement brigade to the intelligence battalion?"

Amanda really wanted to say the words she wanted to say loudly and confidently, "The devil would want to come! Now, I just want to go back to the aviation brigade and be my helicopter pilot."

He straightened his body and said to the lieutenant colonel intently, "Sir, I don't know."

"Lieutenant, relax. I know, you are a pilot of the 39th Air Group. Maybe it's easier to stay in the sky than on the ground."

"However, I think you must be more familiar with this young man than I am." After the lieutenant colonel finished speaking, he pushed the report in front of Amanda.

On the right side of the report, there is a frontal photo of a young Arab male.As soon as Amanda saw this face, she immediately remembered the explosion attack on the base restaurant a few days ago.After a few seconds of thinking, he asked, "Sir, did this criminal escape from prison?"

"No. I hope you can get more valuable information from him."

"Sir, do you think I can do the job?"

"Yes, he is your prisoner. And, the first interrogation was also done by you."

"Sir, do you want me to finish his interrogation?"

The Lieutenant Colonel smiled and nodded, "Second Lieutenant, your resume tells me that you are a trustworthy and excellent Marine Corps officer. I believe in you and will definitely be able to complete this job."

At this point, Amanda could only bite the bullet and take over the follow-up interrogation work, "Thank you, sir. So, is this prisoner still in the detention room of the Law Enforcement Brigade?"

"Well, he has been transferred to the Guantanamo Naval Base."

"All right, Lieutenant. I think you'd better start this afternoon."

Amanda seemed to be a little absent-minded during the intelligence sorting work throughout the morning.Thinking, "I came to Iraq to participate in the war, but I can still go on a business trip. Although the work pressure of this business trip is very high, at least I can relax."

"Never mind. As for whether I can get valuable information, how would I know."

"Well, it's not bad to treat it as a vacation."

After lunch time, Amanda was so excited that she went back to the barracks to pack her clothes.Corolla walked in, looking at her puzzled.Some were surprised and asked, "Second Lieutenant, are you going back to China for vacation?"

"No, I'm going to the Guantanamo Naval Base." Amanda said as she packed her things into her bag.

"What? God, compared to Assad, that place is heaven."

"It's funny. Heaven, you think so? Well, tell Alena for me, and I'll be back in a few days."

下午的1点10分，阿曼达驱车来到机场停机坪外。登上一架隶属于第三航空联队第462重型直升机中队的“超级种马”CH-53E重型运输直升机，准备前往驻扎在波斯湾的美国海军第5舰队的亚伯拉罕·林肯号航空母舰。

After three or four hours of flight, the CH-53E heavy-duty helicopter landed safely on the flight deck of the USS Lincoln.After a short rest, she will transfer to the C-2A "Greyhound" multi-purpose carrier-based transport aircraft of the US Navy and fly to the Lajes US Air Force Base in the Azores in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean.

Lajes U.S. Air Force Base, as a military base shared by the U.S. and the Portuguese Air Force in the North Atlantic, has become an important transportation transit point for the U.S. military during World War II, the "Cold War" period, the Gulf War and the Afghan War.

On August 8, at 20 o'clock in the evening, Amanda landed at the airport of Lajes Air Force Base as a non-combatant.After all, at this time, the Azores, which is part of Portugal's territory, has not approved the use of the base by the United States to take unilateral military action against Iraq.

At 10 a.m. the next day, Amanda boarded an Air Force C-17 "Globemaster" transport plane preparing to return to the United States, heading for Cuba, the "backyard country" of the United States.

The final destination of this itinerary is the Guantanamo military prison located in the Guantanamo Bay US Naval Base in eastern Cuba.Since its establishment in 2002, it has been used to detain Al Qaeda and Taliban members captured in wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and other regions, as well as Muslim personnel in the Iraq War.

By the time they arrived at the US Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Amanda was already hungry.On the recommendation of the US soldiers at the base, I rushed into the restaurant known as "the only McDonald's in Cuba" and prepared to have a feast.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon local time in Cuba, Amanda walked into a windowless mobile home with her luggage after a hearty meal.According to the U.S. military police responsible for guarding the prisoners, this place with many mobile homes is the military and police garrison area outside the prison.The reason why the house has no windows is because many people work different shifts, and many people don't want the sunlight to interfere with their sleep time.

"Thank you, Corporal. Excuse me, when can I start the interrogation work?" Amanda asked the Marine Corps soldier standing at the door after looking at the facilities in the house.

"Anytime, sir. But preferably after their five daily prayers."

"Well, well, thanks."

"Uh, sir, I think you'd better cover the surname strip on your uniform with military tape before you enter the "Delta Camp" (prison code name)." The corporal said to Amanda before leaving.

"What do you mean?" She didn't understand, and then asked.

"Uh, there was a prisoner who wanted to threaten and take revenge, and saw the guards with the surname."

"Well, I see."

After a night's rest and the national anthem salute in the morning, Amanda packed up the interrogation materials and prepared to go to Camp No. [-] of the prison.Today's interrogation work will be carried out in the newest and most modern Camp No. [-] in the base. Because the prison cells here are only a few steps away from the interrogation room, it is very convenient to bring prisoners to the interrogation room for interrogation at any time.

"Sir, for safety reasons, we have arranged for an Arabic interpreter to conduct a simultaneous interrogation with you in the next room." A voice came from the miniature speaker hidden in Amanda's right ear.

"I see, please bring the prisoner to the interrogation room." Amanda said softly, holding her right ear with her right hand.

Minutes later, a young Iraqi man in an orange prison uniform, handcuffed and fettered, was ushered into the interrogation room by two Marines.While sitting opposite the interrogation table, two marines handcuffed the man's feet to an iron ring on the ground, and then handcuffed his hands to the iron pipe in the center of the interrogation table.

Although the interrogation room is equipped with surveillance cameras and iron rings to tie the prisoners, and all the actions of the prisoners are under 24-hour surveillance, the above-mentioned security measures are still essential.

"Thank you, Marines." Amanda nodded and said softly.

"Sir, you can call us at any time if you have a situation." Two marines walked out of the interrogation room.

Amanda glanced at a huge mirror on the right wall, and opened the interrogation materials on the table, "Abdullah Mohammed, I know you understand English. If you want to say something, you can tell me now." I."

After about 2 minutes, she did not hear a word from Abdullah.Just continue to induce, "Of course, you can choose to continue to remain silent. But, do you know your identity here?"
