Chapter 910 A Very Bad Guess

To get the goods to Aleppo, Gao Yang had two routes to choose from.

Both routes required him to initially head south from Baghdad and then turn west, following Highway 1 passing through the dangerous towns of Fallujah and Ramadi before making a decision. He had to choose whether to continue west on Highway 1 or turn northwest onto Highway 12, depending on what Gao Yang decided.

The straight-line distance between Baghdad and Aleppo was about one thousand kilometers, mostly through the desert. Highway 12 followed the Euphrates River, maintaining a direct route to Aleppo alongside the river.

Moreover, traveling along the Euphrates provided towns along the way, making resupply convenient, but the downside was clear – more towns meant more people, and more people naturally meant more trouble.

If he continued west on Highway 1 past Ramadi, it would be a flat, open desert, definitely not worrying about encountering any armed organizations.
