Chapter 176: Crisis looms
"It's ridiculous. "樂" Wen "Xiao" said|" Alberta frowned, "This is not the slightest basis, it is entirely your personal speculation. And the head office has ordered us to evacuate, so we must carry out this order. ”
"But once we get out, Harlot will be defeated. Our contract with him is completely over. The African Division's hard work and efforts for more than a month have all been in vain!" said in a deep voice, "Even if it is this risk, are you willing to take it?"
Alberta was silent for a moment, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Jiangan, you are a terrific military observer, and the best tactical strategy expert. However, this is a mercenary company, not a tactical strategy research room of a military school. Many times obedience to orders is not a risk, disobedience is the real risk. Do you know what I mean?"
"Understood. Shogishi sighed and said, "You just want to do your part, and you don't want to take unnecessary risks." So even if you know that there are doubts, you don't want to pursue more. ”
"Yes. You can be suspicious, but I want something that I can really show to the top of the company. If we can't convince them, we might as well not mention it. Alberta sighed, "So, get on the plane with the others." We're going back to Cape Town. ”
"If that's the case, what about the mercenaries left behind?" Shogan whispered, "After we evacuate in large numbers, these brothers left behind will face great danger. Alberta, at least find a way to get them out. ”
"I know, in fact, I have other arrangements. But you know, some things are not easy to say. He patted Shogan on the shoulder and turned to step onto the transport helicopter.
Zhao Jianfei walked over and said, "Okay, we've done our best." Alberta is right, and even if we say it now, no one will believe it. Alberta also won't be able to convince the company's executives to change their decision unless they confirm the possibility. ”
"Damn, if my judgment is correct. General Dunby is about to turn the tables in one fell swoop, and most people are still blindly optimistic there. Shogishi smiled bitterly, "I don't care about a warlord leader like Harlot, I just don't want to see the mercenaries we left behind suffer." ”
"They won't. Now that Alberta has promised, they'll be fine. Zhao Jianfei nodded, "I think he must disclose this news to those left-behind squads to avoid big losses." ”
"Actuary, are you so sure that the rebels will attack the capital area of Santuyak?" Qin Fen said a little strangely.
Shogishi nodded. Lin Rui responded, "Not only does he think so, but the more I think about it, the more likely it is." You just have to think about it, the last time we went to Cantor, almost all the villages and towns we passed through were looted, and there was no one left. Where can these people go? Could it be that General Dunby is just idle, taking these villagers back and raising them?
In the usual style of these African warlords, they were either taken into labour or used as a supplement. And because his diamond-for-arms program was ruined by us last time, his demand for labor is now limited. However, the requirements for soldiers are naturally as many as possible. ”
Zhao Jianfei said, "And now the news from the front line is that General Deng Bi is short of troops and is no longer able to control those cities. How is this possible? Unless he hides part of his forces, and isn't this hidden force the best place to use it in the capital area where we have withdrawn from defense? But, no matter what, it has nothing to do with us now. ”
"No wonder the Red Baron deliberately let us go last time. Lin Rui smiled bitterly, "That time, even if he paid a little price, he would be able to wipe out our entire team." He deliberately let us go, for fear of completely angering the silver wolf. The contradiction intensified, and Morningstar would not withdraw its troops along the way. That way, his plans won't be disrupted. ”
"This guy is so cunning, I know he doesn't have such good intentions. Qin Fen shook his head and said.
Zhao Jianfei groaned, "Forget it, get on the plane, don't discuss this matter in the future." Knowing too much may not be beneficial, and when it comes to pretending to be stupid, you can live a long life. ”
"I didn't do it for any other purpose, I just felt that there was something unbalanced. So I can't help but want to whine. Qin Fen said helplessly.
Several people boarded the transport plane, which was stacked with some heavy loads, but not many crews, except for Alberta and his lieutenant, Danny. It's Lin Rui and other members of the XCOM team.
With the roar of a huge engine, the transport helicopter slowly lifted into the air and headed off into the distance. The shaking feeling of the helicopter still made Lin Rui feel uncomfortable. Watching the strange city below gradually move away, he even felt like throwing up, and his head was a little groggy.
The rest of the team members smiled and chatted with each other indifferently. Danny even brought out a case of beer from the back seat to share it among them. Alberta didn't care either, instead laughed and had a drink with them.
It was about forty minutes before Alberta asked the helicopter pilot, "Where did we go?"
"It's still early. We just left Santujak not long ago. Director, you must be dying so badly to go back. Actually, we're the same, haha. The driver laughed.
Alberta smiled slightly, "yes, I really want to go back early." It's a pity you can't go back. ”
The driver didn't seem to understand Alberta's voice, and tilted his head slightly and said, "Mr. Director, what did you say?"
Just as he turned his head, Alberta suddenly pulled a gun out of his pocket and shot him in the temple. Even in a noisy helicopter, the sound of the gunfire was shocking enough. Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Alberta, but he smiled with his gun. "I'm sorry, I know everyone wants to go back alive, but it's not possible. ”
"Alberta, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"It doesn't make sense, he's just another member of the Order. Shogishi smiled bitterly.
Lin Rui's heart froze slightly, and he looked at Alberta, and his shock was beyond words.
Alberta nodded, "Worthy of an actuary." That's a good guess. Actually, you didn't need to die, and I didn't need to be exposed. But the conversation we had before we got on the plane made up my mind completely. You've seen the telltale signs, though I've made it clear to you not to get out of the matter. But given your background at Morningstar, I still can't rest assured. So the safest way is a plane crash. ”
