Chapter 249: Destruction Behind Enemy Lines
"What are you going to do," Harlot looked at the panther Gourley with some surprise. He knew that this person was not simple, and the black panther was once famous in the mercenary world, not because of his prominence, but because of his real ability.
"Just a few days ago, the Security Council peacekeeping force in Santujak was attacked by the Free Liberation Union and died. It has been ascertained that it was the Combat Boys Corps under Dunby. ”
"Hmph, those lawless boys, anyone really dares to mess with them. What is the reaction of those big powers," Harlot whispered.
"At present, there are two voices, one is a more neutral attitude, which is nothing more than the deployment of additional peacekeepers to maintain regional stability. At most, Dunby was asked to disband his Scouts. Gu Lei said lightly.
"This has no effect on Dunby, and he is not absolutely not going to disband his Scouts. He would continue to use those underage children to fight for him. Because they are cheaper and easier to control. Giving them two meals a day, plus a little bit of drugs, can make these children fight without fear of death, and this is the truth about child soldiers in Africa. Harlot sneered.
"Of course, there is another voice in the Security Council, and that is to send a coalition force to suppress Dunby's Free Liberation Alliance. However, most people believe that force should not be involved, so they advocate economic sanctions against the Free Liberation Alliance. Guray said calmly, "If there is a strict embargo on the resource ores that Dunby uses in exchange for funds. At most, in a month, Dunby himself will have to collapse. This must be done through the AU. And I happen to be in a key position in the AU, and there are a few people who are very familiar with me. ”
"You also have friends in the AU. Harlot stared at Gourlay.
"It's nothing new, Harlot, I was in a lot of places before I got into Morningstar. Therefore, from the head of state of a country to the leaders of various guerrilla groups, I have some friends. Even if they're not friends, they have to give me a little face. Guray said calmly, "Otherwise, how could I become the head of the African branch." ”
"But the African branch no longer exists. Harlot stared at Ghulay.
"That's right, but most African countries don't recognize Morningstar Africa, they recognize me. Gurey laughed.
Harlot looked at Gureed, "Then what do you want to do, just wait here for Dunby to fall by himself"
"Of course not, it is impossible to passively wait for your opponent to fall. Economic sanctions are only one aspect, and our people will infiltrate some of the key targets controlled by the Alliance for Freedom and Liberation to carry out systematic sabotage and accelerate the process of its economic collapse. "But we need your support. ”
"What kind of support," Harlot said, staring at Gurray Dao.
"The supply of all kinds of supplies, weapons, medicines. And don't forget, we're working for you. Guray looked at him and said, "I can't let my people go hungry to help you." ”
"Yes. Harlowt nodded, "I'll give you a month." But it's only a month. ”
"Good. Gu Lei turned to Lin Rui and said, "Let's go, we have a new mission." ”
In the makeshift camp, Gray gave the XCOM team its latest mission, sabotage behind enemy lines.
Gu Lei calmly looked at the mercenaries around him and said in a deep voice, "Now everyone knows that our situation is more difficult. But that's not a bad thing. We lost the financial and resource support of Morningstar, but at the same time, we also lost the various constraints of the headquarters. If we can take advantage of this opportunity and establish ourselves in Santujak. Then there will be a new beginning. ”
"The silver wolf is not here, you are the highest level. Just say what you want us to do," Ivan nodded.
"You're all elite players, and it's a shame to put you on the front lines of the war against the Free Liberation Alliance. You must have your own worth. So I need you to move into the rear of the Alliance for the Liberation of the Free Liberation and destroy the important targets they are relying on in exchange for funding. Guray pointed to the map, "Remember your previous operation in the mining town?"
"Remember, we suffered a loss that time. Ivan almost lost his life, and Yelena was wounded. Lin Rui nodded.
"The diamond mines are one of the main sources of income for the rebels. And because of its proximity to the border, it has been at the heart of Dunby's diamond-for-arms program. If the mine ceases, the FQ's revenues will be cut off. Ghuray looked at them and said, "I know that you and the Gurkha team were involved in the last battle of the mining town, and they know the terrain and objectives there very well. Especially Lin Rui, you once went deep into the mining area and returned safely. So I need you guys to help me wreathe this place. ”
"Destroying you means blowing up the mining area," Lin Rui thought for a while.
"Of course not the entire mining area, after all, there are many civilians who have been captured for forced labor. Instead, they want to blow up the mine and force the entire diamond mine to shut down. Santuyak's mining technology was not advanced, and once the mine was bombed, it would be time-consuming to resume production, which would have a huge impact on General Dunby's finances. Gu Lei said slowly.
"I understand that the rebels' financial situation is not ideal and is too one-dimensional in terms of the type of income. They have long been unable to scavenge for the local population, and they mainly rely on the export of mineral resources in exchange for war funds, and once this part of the income is damaged, they will have a serious financial crisis. Modern warfare depends on money, and only with money can there be soldiers, weapons and equipment, and logistical support. Without money, General Dunby could do nothing. Shogishi pondered.
"That's right. Therefore, I ask you to unleash your hands and feet within this month and carry out the greatest blow and destruction of all the economic objectives controlled by the Free Liberation Alliance. The primary target is the diamond mine in that town, supplemented by other targets. Unleash the wildest acts of sabotage. Guray said calmly.
"Sounds like the favorite thing for someone like Ivan to do. Lin Rui smiled faintly. "Crazy Ivan, that's a fitting nickname. ”
"Alright guys, get ready. This time, your squad will act alone, after all, to carry out this kind of mission of sabotage behind enemy lines, the number of people is not an important factor, but the suddenness and concealment are the most important factors. In this operation, Zhao Jianfei's injuries have not yet recovered, so it is not suitable to participate. In view of Lin Rui's familiarity with the entire region, he served as the interim captain. Shogishi is in charge of assisting him. Guray stood up and said, "Alright, good luck to you." ”
