Chapter 870: Warlords and the Foreign Legion
"What about more details?" Lin Rui nodded.
"It's all in there, you can take your time. "The reason why I took on this task is because this point in Chad is very important to us. As long as this point is cleared, there will be almost no blind spots in the business scope of our Black Island in the whole of Africa. I also believe that the case of TongguΓ² Anse can give us a good start in Chad. β
Lin Rui nodded, "I know that Black Panther Guray has been trying to connect the entire African region with its operations, establishing multiple small bases through GuΓ² to form a more convenient action network. β
"Yes, this will make our reflexes and actions faster than any mercenary company. Because we have our own small mercenary bases in various places, they can be used for quick response. The silver wolf nodded. "Once this idea is realized, we will be in a very strong position among the mercenary forces in Africa. β
"Yes, there are our people everywhere, although the number of people is not necessarily large, but they can always be one step ahead. Shogishi nodded, "Black Panther Guray knows more about Africa than any of us, and his ideas are very developmental.
In the past, our forces were mainly concentrated in the southern African countries, and we have not had much control over Central Africa. And it is precisely the place where there is the most war, and there are many armed forces. Almost all of them are our potential customers. β
"So through this operation, we can also get rid of an armed warlord and befriend the Chadian government. Kill two birds with one stone. The silver wolf nodded.
"When are we going to act?" Lin Rui thought for a moment.
"Within a week. This time they didn't have any specific time requirements. The only requirement is that this Ansai must die. The silver wolf said slowly, "Let's get ready, during this time, everyone has been a little slack." It's time to fight a war and adjust your state. β
"This time I want to bring Group B with me. Lin Rui nodded and said, "It's really easy to relax if you rest too much." This is not good for later. β
"You're the captain of O2, take care of it yourself. The silver wolf smiled slightly.
Lin Rui put away the memory chip that recorded the mission information, then turned around and said, "Let's go, Jiang'an, let's go see those boys in Group B." β
Shogishi nodded and followed him, and walked out together.
On the beach of Black Island, Lin Rui found the players of Group B. Lincoln saw Lin Rui and was overjoyed, "Aha, you're back?!How are you doing in Russia?"
"I've been back for a few days, and I've been busy with some other things, so I didn't bother to come over to see you. How's the team?" said Lin Rui with a smile.
"In good shape, ready to participate in any fight. Lincoln laughed. "You're in such a hurry to come to us, do you have any new tasks?"
"Of course, I knew you were too busy to panic. Lin Rui shrugged and said, "This time we will go to Africa and let your people finish training." I'll give you twenty minutes to assemble in the tactical boardroom. For the early arrivals, there is Russian vodka. The mercenaries of Group B cheered and dispersed.
Later, Lin Rui and the others gathered in the tactical conference room. Lin Rui said slowly, "This time our destination is Chad, Central Africa, where we are going to carry out a decapitation operation. The beheading was carried out by an armed Chadian warlord, Ansai. That's the guy. β
"According to incomplete information, this man has an armed force of more than five hundred men. Moreover, he has resisted the military encirclement and suppression of the Chadian government army three times, and he has been quite tough. Shogishi introduced.
"It's not surprising at all in that kind of place. The total strength of the entire Chad country is just over 30,000. If the 500 men of Ansai are well equipped and occupy favorable terrain, the government forces really have nothing to do with him. Jason frowned.
"This man is entrenched in the east, near the border with Sudan, and occupies several small towns in the surrounding area, and he imposes taxes on him, acting as a local warlord on one side. The place where he is located is the small town he currently occupies, which is actually a military fortress left over from the French colonial period, known locally as Fort Baguil.
The fort is ancient, but it is still strong. There is a desert all around, and they occupy an oasis. This is also the reason why Chadian government forces have not been able to capture them on several occasions. Later, he became even more brazen, and at one point in the second Chadian civil war, he led his militants to conquer the city. However, it was quickly routed again and retreated to its lair. Lin Rui said.
"What we're going to do is to behead him?" Wang Haoze frowned. "Doesn't sound like anything special about this man. β
"Don't underestimate him, in that environment, people who can really become warlords are not idle people. And almost all the armed warlords in Chad have people behind them. It is a bit doubtful that the Americans asked us to get rid of him, but they were not willing to do it ourselves. Lin Rui said slowly.
"Yes, there are rumors about it due to the special relationship between Chad and France. The French had been aiding the warlord in the hope of gaining more control over the area. One more thing, except for these guys. We also have to be careful of another armed force, the French Foreign Legion. Shogishi looked at them and said.
"French Foreign Legion, what's the matter with them?" Lin Rui frowned.
The French Foreign Legion is a regular army unit composed of foreign volunteers, equipped with the same equipment as the French regular army, and is made up of about 8,000 volunteers from 136 countries and regions. It was founded in 1831 by the order of the then King Louis of France in order to solve the problem of foreigners committing crimes in France and at the same time replenish the French soldiers killed and wounded in the war. Volunteers can conceal their nationality and name when joining, and they can also have a pseudonym or change their name.
As a result, many convicts have joined, and since 2000 a detailed survey of the experience of volunteers has begun, and those who have served a prison sentence are no longer able to participate, and those who have joined can refuse to participate in the fight against their home country.
After its formation, the Foreign Legion participated in the Algerian War, the Mexican Expedition, and later the First World War, the Second World War, the Congo, the Bosnia-Herzegovina War, and the First Gulf War. In addition to war activities, the French Foreign Legion can also be seen in peacekeeping assistance in Myanmar, the suppression of riots in Haiti, and disaster relief in the Indian Ocean earthquake.
"Chad has always been a French colony and became independent in the sixties, but France and Chad have always had a close relationship. The two countries have signed a series of financial, economic, cultural, educational, and military cooperation agreements. France has a military base in Chadhar, with 1,200 troops. The training camp of the famous French Foreign Legion is located there. "Shogan said slowly.
"But the French should be on the same path as the Chadian government, will they defend this warlord?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Anse himself has a history of serving in the Foreign Legion, so this has to be guarded against. Shogishi shrugged.
