Chapter 335: Como City
To the northeast of this border road there is a canyon that is not too long, and the terrain is peculiar. From that canyon there is direct access to the territory of Andira. Lin Rui and the others found the canyon, and after careful searching, they found traces of the convoy passing.
"I've found something here. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.
Several people walked over and looked at it, and found several deep tire tracks. Based on the width of the tires, it is assumed that there must be a large vehicle passing through the guò, and the marks of a tree on one side are also clearly indicated.
"These cunning guys, they still show their traces. Yelena sneered.
Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "This road leads to Andira, which means that these people's lair is in Andira." ”
He flipped through the electronic map and compared the satellite imagery. "Judging from the direction, this canyon leads to the area of Ciudad Como in Andira. ”
"Como City," Lin Rui frowned.
"It's a very mixed place, Como was originally an old town with a lot of history. It has always been the main area where local warlords fought each other. However, no armed faction has ever been able to control this area for a long time, and other armed elements in the surrounding area are also operating in this area, so the situation in the region can be as chaotic as possible. Shogishi explained.
"I can ask the base in Mombasa to send drones to scout that area. From the map, this area is not very large. Maybe we will be able to find this convoy that has disappeared from here. Louis hurriedly said.
"It's useless, the other party is not stupid at all. They know how to hide themselves very well, and they are very familiar with the aerial reconnaissance of the US military. That's why they hid here immediately after the incident. In the city of Como, they don't leave any traces that can be detected. Lin Rui shook his head, "Instead of preparing drones, it's better to prepare a little dollars." ”
"What do you mean dollars?" Louis said in amazement.
"I mean, advanced reconnaissance equipment that costs millions is sometimes not as good as an informant who can be bought for only a few hundred dollars. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I asked Vitak before. He had a lot of connections and inside lines in that place. Maybe we can find one of them through guò. As locals, they know much more about what is going on there than we do. ”
"Virtek, this intelligence monger, how is he now," Yelena frowned.
He is now in charge of intelligence gathering across Africa on the Black Island, although he has injured his spine and is paralyzed for life. However, with the intelligence network he has built, he can know a lot of things even without leaving his home. Lin Rui said to Jiang Andao, "Use the satellite network to contact him." ”
Shogishi nodded, turning on his tactical computer. Vitak was contacted via the Guò satellite network. The signal from the satellite network is not very good in the canyon, and there is some delay in the images on the computer. But Vitak can still be seen clearly.
"Hi Vitak, you look good. Lin Rui said with a smile.
"No matter how good it is, it's gone, and after a few months of recuperation, I've gained a few pounds. The reason you're looking for me is because of the drone incident?" said Vitak.
"Are you always so well-informed about your news," Lin Rui smiled.
"Actually, it's not a well-informed thing. It's no secret that the wreckage of this advanced drone will be auctioned off on the black market. Vytak shook his head and said, "I've tried to look up some information, but I'm afraid the situation is not as rosy as you think." The people who hijacked the drones were very well organized, and my people barely got any information. But. I can give you a name. He is involved in most of the black market transactions. Maybe you can get some news from him. ”
"Oh, who is this person," Lin Rui frowned.
"General Leon, the former Deputy Minister of Defense of Andira. You should have seen this man last time during Andilla's operation. Vitak said.
Lin Rui was slightly stunned and said, "It's him"
"Yes, after your last assassination of Loren, Andila was plunged into a full-scale civil war. Several powerful warlords took advantage of the situation, and General Leon was one of them. However, his strength is not the strongest, so he can only choose to stick to the area of Como City. The black market for arms is not behind his operations. But he certainly wouldn't be unaware. Vitak said.
"You mean, if we find this person, we will know who the seller on the black market is," Shogan frowned.
"It's not guaranteed, but at least Leon will understand. You may be able to follow this clue and find the people behind the black market. Virtek nodded.
"That's right, that's the number one priority. Louis thought for a moment. "In fact, Raytheon has already made preparations internally. In the event of a desperate situation, we are even ready to intervene in the black market and photograph the wreckage of the drone on the black market. While it would cost a lot of money, it would at least stop the outflow of a few key technologies. It's just that this is too damaging to the company's reputation. ”
"Don't worry, since you've hired us, we'll do our best. You will not be subject to further losses. Lin Rui turned to the other team members and said. "Ready, let's go into Andira. This is a war-torn zone, and everyone must be vigilant. Watch out for a possible attack. ”
The two armored off-road vehicles of Lin Rui and others drove all the way in the direction of Andira. Como is an ancient city, and like many old African cities, its streets have not changed for a thousand years. The urban pattern of the old city, which has not changed for thousands of years, also determines the unique living habits of the locals. Walking into the iconic earthy yellow gate of the old town, you will say goodbye to the busy traffic.
There are no cars or even bicycles in the narrow and winding streets and alleys of the old city, where transportation is done by human and animal power. The usually inconspicuous little donkeys, because of their small size and hard-working work, became a new force in the transport work in the old town of Fez.
The armored combat vehicles of Lin Rui and others are like coming from another century here. They also received great attention because of this, and immediately a group of black soldiers surrounded them. Many soldiers were armed with weapons at their cars, shouting and swearing in an unfamiliar African vernacular.
"It's not good. "Shogan said slowly.
"We still don't come. Lin Rui sneered. He paused, pushed the door and got out of the driveway, "Sue General Sù Leon, we are waiting for him here." ”
The African soldiers whispered a few words to each other, and one of them, riding a dilapidated tricycle, hurried away, as if to report something. The rest of the African soldiers pointed their guns at the squad members in the car.
Lin Rui slowly took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and squinted at the soldiers opposite. He didn't care at all about the threats of these soldiers. With these two armored vehicles present, he was not worried at all about what the other side would do. It was Louie, a drone expert, who was nervous, and the sweat on his face flowed down.
