953.Chapter 953 - The Great Arms Dealer

"This can't be!" Yelena shook her head, "the Russian military never hires a private military company. Please search (product # book...... As a military power, their military strength is very strong. More often than not, they have the ability to solve problems on their own. ”

"Rarely, but not impossible. ”

Jiang Shore shook his head and said, "If you really need to prove it, I can give at least three or four examples of real existence." But we all know that it doesn't make sense. ”

"Hey, we all know this, but why do they need us to save people, and who are they saving?"

Sergei frowned.

Shogishi nodded, "In general, Russians do like to solve problems on their own. But they've been in a lot of trouble lately. United States. The sanctions imposed on Russia by the European Union and a number of other Western countries continue. I think they must need to operate in some sensitive area. And if they act on their own, they will put themselves in a very difficult situation. ”

"Shogishi is right. ”

Lin Rui nodded and said, "The person we want to save this time is very sensitive. He is a Russian arms dealer. ”

"Russian arms dealers?"

Sergei frowned.

Ivanchenko, 46, has eight pseudonyms and holds more than a dozen passports. From the passport is a Russian, also an American, or a citizen of a small African country. Officially known as the most powerful arms dealer in the United States, he regularly trafficked weapons to armed conflict zones in South America, the Middle East, and Africa. ”

Lin Rui turned on the computer, clicked on the photo and said, "That's this person." ”

"Hey, man. I've heard of him. ”

Sergei said in a photo, "He is a celebrity, the prototype of the 2005 movie "Lord of War" starring American star actor Nicolas Cage. He has been associated with many horrific titles, such as Death Trafficker, the world's number one illegal arms dealer. ”

Lin Rui was stunned and said, "I don't know." ”

Jiang An said sternly, "This person is not simple. He is definitely in the top 10 on the CIA's blacklist. ”

Lin Rui said, "Ivanchenko's exact background is almost unknown. Aside from knowing that he was born in the seventies, his place of birth and nationality remain a mystery to this day. Russia claims to have been born in Tajikistan. He himself said he was born in a Turkmenistan village on the shores of the Caspian Sea. Legend has it that his mother was an accountant and his father was an auto mechanic. He himself studied at the Moscow Institute of Foreign Chinese, after which he joined the Soviet Air Force and was sent to Angola, where he allegedly worked for the KGB, the Soviet intelligence agency. But Ivanchenko denied that he had anything to do with Soviet intelligence. Whether this guy's connection to the KGB is true or not, analysts agree that Ivanchenko does seem to have deep contacts with senior Russian officials. What is staggering is that Ivanchenko even became an important participant in the United Nations humanitarian relief operation for a time, and even became a contractor responsible for transporting weapons and supplies to the US military in Iraq. And his American business partner turned out to be a military-backed company. It is said that he once said: "As long as you can afford the price, whatever weapons you want to buy, as long as there are in the world, I will promise to sell them to you." "This guy really reminds me of that alpha. Lincoln shook his head. Lin Rui shook his head, "He's better than Alpha." According to some sources, he worked with another arms dealer to form an air transport convoy for arms and diamond trafficking. At its peak, they had as many as 60 aircraft, smuggling large quantities of submachine guns, grenade launchers, bullets, and a variety of light and heavy weapons into war-torn areas of Africa. Between July 1997 and September 1998 alone, they sold $14 million worth of arms to Africa. That's why the British government's secretary of state for foreign affairs in Africa, Peter Peter, gave him the nickname of the world's number one embargo breaker. In the summer of 1999, there were simultaneous clashes in some parts of West and Central Africa. The U.S. National Security Council authorized intelligence services to conduct electronic reconnaissance of government militia leaders in war zones such as northeastern Congo, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Intelligence analysts were surprised to find that each conflict was inextricably linked to one person. "Ivanchenko. Jiang An couldn't help but smile bitterly, "He is very good at making money from both warring sides at the same time. "But his good fortune came to an end, and last week he was caught by militia guerrillas in Liberia. Since this man was involved in a number of huge arms deals, the United States wanted to get this person from the militia. And Russia does not want this man to be caught by the Americans. Lin Rui said slowly, "This is our task." "But I don't understand why Russia is saving this man, who is just an arms dealer." Sergei frowned. Jiang Anhe shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You must know that in the past five years, the United States has continued to occupy the first place in the world's arms exporters, with a market share of more than 30 percent, and Russia has the second place, with a market share of 20 percent and 7 percent. So if you think about it, you will understand. What kind of impact does the sanctions imposed by Europe and the United States on Russia have on their arms business? "You're saying that they need this Ivanchenko very much at the moment?" Sergey frowned. "Of course, normal sales are restricted, so Ivanchenko's abnormal channels are naturally more important. And I guess the Americans also know this, so they will do it to him. Lin Rui nodded. "That's right. Shogishi nodded, "And that's why Russia hired us." The matter was too sensitive, and they didn't want to be involved. By participating, they are forced to admit that they are connected to some of today's most notorious arms traffickers. Therefore, it is not appropriate for them to come forward themselves. It is even necessary to avoid suspicion of this. "Okay, so what's going on with this damn arms dealer now?" Yelena frowned. "He should currently be held in a militia camp in Liberia. The leader of this militia group is a small local warlord. That's roughly the case at the moment. Lin Rui replied. Sergei couldn't help but say, "This guy is obviously a young man who doesn't know the height of the sky, and even the famous Ivanchenko dares to tie him." Lin Rui nodded and said, "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. These African boys, who don't know whether to live or die, are going to blackmail Ivanchenko, because he knows that the arms dealer should be a rich man. So after the transaction, he suddenly turned around and deducted Ivanchenko. "They want to eat black. Shogishi nodded. "Ivan Chenko has also been mixed all his life, and in the end he was tricked by a few little ghosts. Sergei smiled bitterly. "This should not be a difficult task, our opponents are easy this time, armed civilians at best. "You'd be wrong to think so. Because just after we accepted this mission, news came that the US military also wanted to fight Ivanchenko's idea. They even decided that they had already sent people to make contact with the militias. As soon as these forgetful Liberian militias sold Ivanchenko to the Americans, our mission failed. Lin Rui said slowly. "How much time is left for us?" Lincoln frowned. Lin Rui's other team members said, "I don't think it should be more than two days." We will have the full support of Alpha, the arms dealer, in this operation. He will provide us with helicopter pick-up and supplies of weapons and ammunition. What we have to do is get Ivan Chenko out before the Americans take him away. He spread out a map and said, "This is Liberia." This is the place where Ivanchenko and they made an arms deal, and this is supposed to be the place where Ivanchenko was held after his arrest. These Liberian militants are a new armed force in the region, and they are very vicious and have no rules. "Come, even Africa's most vicious warlords don't have anyone to eat the arms dealers. They may lower prices, or they may buy and sell by force, but they rob arms and kidnap people to extort money. This kind of thing rarely happens. Because everybody knows that if you want to mix in this land, you have to have a gun. And the arms dealer is a person who must not be offended. Jiang An shook his head and said, "Once an armed organization has a bad reputation with a certain arms dealer, other arms dealers will also reject this armed organization." No far-sighted warlord would do such a thing. "Yes, these militants are very immature. But that's exactly what makes them scary. Immature, unstable, hysterical, without scruples. You can come as you want. Lin Rui said helplessly, "Their leader is a black man named McGin, who is only twenty today, but he has already carried more than a dozen lives on his back, and has participated in many armed robberies and massacres. "How are they armed?" Wang Haoze asked. "Pretty good. They are partially armed militias, once trained and well armed. Thanks to the Ivanchenko, who gave them a truckload of munitions this time. Including a dozen large-caliber machine guns and 40-caliber rocket artillery. Lin Rui shook his head and said. "The difficult thing is that these armed men live together with the local villagers. "That is, where are the innocent villagers. We can't tell which ones are militants and which are ordinary villagers?" Lincoln frowned, "and that would cause us a lot of trouble in our operations." Maybe a thin villager, turn around and pull out his gun and give you shuttle bullets. "In any case, we must do everything possible to avoid casualties among the villagers. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "If necessary, we may be able to lure these armed men outside the village to solve the problem." "But we still have to go in and save people. And the process must be as good as possible, because Ivanchenko is in their hands. We must beware that these militants harm the hostages. The Russians are asking for rescue, not to retrieve a body. Shogishi frowned. "That's right. Alpha arrives in the afternoon, and his people will take care of the pick-up. He will also bring us the latest information on the Russians. Lin Rui said in a deep voice, "I must emphasize once again that this mission will be very dangerous. Everyone must know what they are supposed to do. "This book is from /book/html/25/25880/
