"Probably not, the news was given directly to Silver Wolf by an arms dealer. This article was written by...... Does the starter know who this arms dealer is? the same alpha we rescued from Efuya last time. And as the provider of the information this time, he will also appear in Perata, of course, his request is not to involve him. Zhao Jianfei said slowly.

"Why did that arms dealer help us?" said Shogishi with a frown.

"Merchants, no profit can not be early. He was a newcomer and did not have a sufficient share of the arms market in Perata. So they want to use us to open the way for him. In other words, we have messed up the business of General Dunby and those arms dealers, and it is profitable for him to have an opportunity. Zhao Jianfei sneered, "Otherwise, how could he provide us with information?"

"But is he worth trusting?" Lin Rui frowned, "Maybe after we messed up the business of General Dunby and the arms dealers, he would take over the deal immediately." Then our plans to crack down on General Dunby's diamond trade and arms trade will still fail. You also said, he's just a businessman. ”

"No, General Dunby is suspicious by nature, never does business with strangers, and Alpha is a newcomer. Shogishi shook his head and said, "If the intelligence of this operation comes from Alpha, I don't think it's a big problem." He knew who the silver wolf was, and he didn't dare to deceive the silver wolf before he could. ”

Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "Actuary, you wait for a specific task briefing to be distributed to everyone, now let's introduce the information we have." ”

Shogishi nodded, switching pictures on the projector. The projector showed the head of a black man wearing a green military uniform and a skullless floppy hat. "This is General Dembizulu, the rebel leader of the Free Liberation Alliance, the number one war criminal of the Santujak government. ”

The screen shifts to another picture, which shows a thin black man, who looks even darker in a white suit. From the image with low resolution, it is even a little difficult to see the facial features.

Shogan said slowly, "This person is Acre, the fourth person in the Free Liberation Alliance. General Dunby had four wives, one of whom was Acre's sister. This person is mainly responsible for the economy and trade of the rebel organization, and is in charge of the rebels' purse. This man was very cautious and won the trust of General Dunby. As usual, he will be in charge of the diamond and arms deals. ”

"How many people are in their transport convoy and what about the armament?" Ivan frowned.

"Two trucks carrying rough diamonds, escorted by six armed trucks. The number of rebels may be more than fifty, and there may even be people from the Order involved. "Shogishi-do.

Lin Rui frowned and said, "Such a large convoy? Are Deng Bi's rebels trying to recruit people to rob it?"

"That's what he's always done. General Dunby was fond of being in the limelight, and he liked to show his face in various Western newspapers and magazines, talking about freedom, equality, and peace. to show the political influence of his rebel army and himself. So he likes to make a big show in everything he does, and he is a typical African warlord. "Shogishi said lightly.

Lin Rui sneered and shook his head and said, "The Western journalists who listened to him advocate freedom and equality must have never been to the mining areas he forcibly occupied, and they have never seen those slave-like child laborers." It's shameless. ”

"I'm more concerned about that truck's diamond ore, is it a benefit after we rob it?" Qin Fen smiled with a smile.

"A rough diamond is valued by its shape, clarity, color and weight. If it is an industrial drill, the price will not be too high. Diamonds from areas of armed conflict, also known as blood diamonds, are inherently inherently inexpensive, and unsorted rough is even cheaper. The value of the two truckloads of raw ore is also about one million dollars. Unfortunately, we can't touch that. Shogishi said with a smile.

"Why?" Qin Fen said a little unwillingly.

"Because it's not our purpose to rob things, our purpose is to disrupt General Dunby's diamond trade and cut off the rebels' source of funding. Zhao Jianfei smiled and said, "So we just feinted to attack them, make the rebels panic, and transport the diamond convoy back." At the same time, we have to go against the other side of the deal, the arms dealer with whom we are dealing. In this way, the rebels can create the illusion of unruly black eating black, and further damage the already bad reputation of General Dunby. ”

"You mean we feinted against the rebels, but in fact we attacked the other side of the deal, looting the arms. The arms dealers found themselves robbed, and the rebels ran away with the diamonds. It is natural to blame this on General Dunby, suspecting that he is secretly eating black. And General Dunby himself was a notorious warlord who often did this. So many people will not be surprised that something like this has happened. Shogishi nodded, "Perata is an important blood diamond and arms trading place, and the news will spread quickly. Out of self-preservation, no one will ever do business with this group of rebels again in the short term. That's what we're all about. ”

"Yes, the rebel-controlled area is so poor that there is no other oil or water. So they don't have any other source of funding than the diamond mines. If the blood diamond trade were to be hit again, it would be fatal to the rebels' economy. And without money, you can't pull the team. Zhao Jianfei said slowly.

"This is really a ruthless trick to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle. Lin Rui nodded.

"The Santuyak government army has been overwhelmed by General Dunby's rebels, and the Blue Helmets on which the government army relies are simply cowering at the base and dare not come out, so they want to find us. If we succeed in dealing a blow to General Dunby's diamond trade, we will be able to effectively curb the growing tide of the rebels. The Santuyak government army will be happy to pay for it. Zhao Jianfei nodded.

"Well, I can't wait. Tell me, how do we act?" said Ivanmo, clapping his fists.

"The official authorization for this operation has come down, Operation Code 0673. Our entire squad is responsible for all operations. In this operation, the head-to-head confrontation was not the main goal, the main goal was to mislead the two sides of the transaction into hating each other. And to make the impact of this incident bigger. Zhao Jianfei said slowly.

"We'd better get to Perata's trading place one step ahead of the rebels and make arrangements in advance. Shogan frowned, "And this operation, we mainly camouflage raids. Try to direct the troubles to the rebels. So there's a lot of pre- and post-work, even more important than the action itself. ”

"Yes, the trade between the rebels and the arms dealers took place the day after tomorrow. We have a day today to study the details of the plan and a qiē execution. We leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we have to get to Perata and then complete all the early deployments. Time is of the essence, and I hope you will take the time to adjust. Zhao Jianfei smiled slightly, "The difficulty of this mission is not great, but if it is done well, it can deal a heavy blow to the weakness of the rebels." ”

"I have one last question, how do we get those arms dealers to think that we are General Dunby's people?" Peng Lefeng couldn't help but say.

"How about wearing a blue-gray military uniform and a red hood?" Lin Rui smiled slightly. "If those arms dealers can gain a foothold in Perata, they naturally have their eyes and ears. We don't need to identify ourselves at all, they will naturally find out who is wearing some blue uniform. ”

Shogishi nodded, "That's exactly what I wanted to say. ”

The plan of action is still put forward by Shogishi, a man who is extremely good at tactical strategy and overall planning. The plan of action he developed was, as well as his nickname, actuarial. Every step has been carefully considered, taking into account the various contingencies and ways to deal with them. For the rest of the day, the members of XCOM Team were discussing the details of the mission plan.

The next day, they set off in full gear, and Lin Rui was still an automatic rifle, wearing a pistol's standard individual equipment. The rest of the team was also fully equipped and boarded the helicopter together. The helicopter painted with the Morningstar logo was too eye-catching to go straight to Perata. It can only be to send them to the border near Santujak, and then they have to come to Perata on foot.

Getting off the helicopter, the huge air flow of the propeller made Lin Rui squint somewhat unnaturally and look at the barren scene around him.

There are only a handful of asphalt roads. In most areas, the road is just a dirt road pressed out by the wheels, its borders are blurred, covered with a thick layer of dust, any car passing by, will kick up a cloud of dust, from a distance it looks like an earth-colored dragon, as if trying to devour the whole car, only the front of the car barely escaped.

This long dragon is very suitable for the African land at this moment, it is the dry season, and the vast red earth is lifeless, only clusters of wild grasses and scattered thorns.

"Let's go, let's cross this border road, it's Perata. Zhao Jianfei looked down at the GPS display in his hand.

"It's a place where birds don't. Qin Fen shook his head and said.

"Development depends on aid, food depends on trees, and transportation depends on walking......," Peng Lefeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Haven't you heard of Africa's characteristics?"

Jiang An smiled slightly, "I don't comment on the regional bias of the two of you. But when you get to Perata, you will find that you are not only wrong, but how wrong you are. ”

"Can this be wrong?" Qin Fen said in amazement. "Isn't Perata any different from other African towns?" he realized when he arrived, and that he was really wrong, and he was very wrong.

Perata is the most important town on the southwestern border of Santujac, an African town surrounded by ancient desert but with a strong European flair. There is a lack of fresh water, no arable land, but a first-class standard of living.

All of them come from the fact that there is a large illegal diamond trade here, most of which are shady conflict diamonds, which are known to the international community as blood diamonds. And the arms trade here is in full swing
