"On this note, we can move and get rid of the leaders we've targeted, but we can't wipe them out, and we haven't even figured out how many of them are here and how many of them are potential supporters or reservists. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć "If we don't understand this, then our actions will be the same as when the people of country M were in the Middle East, sweeping over and over again, and the enemy will not be able to sweep them all." ā
"Is this our own fire?" Lin Hai felt like he couldn't laugh or cry at the moment, "Although we have the most advanced science and technology on this planet, there is nothing we can do about a group of militants who are not much different from civilians. ā
"The problem is that they don't look much different from ordinary civilians. Without knowing in advance, we can't tell who they are if they don't have weapons on them. In this way, we will not be able to carry out a full-scale clean-up operation. ā
"What about surveillance communications?" Lin Hai asked again, "Can't we start from their communications and find out the whereabouts of those people?" ā
"Of course, the communication is always monitored." Zhao Wu replied, "However, it may be due to the influence of the previous attack by the people of country M, they rarely use modern communication tools, and more often use manual methods to communicate, although this is inefficient, but unless we keep an eye on everyone in all towns, it is difficult to monitor their communication operations." ā
"Somalia is not affected by electromagnetic interference, and our drones are not affected in any way. With our current state of technology, coupled with the distribution of the population of Somali cities and towns, it shouldn't be a problem to monitor the majority of people in every city, right? ā
"Of course, that's one of the reasons why we can spot those people in the crowd, but it's not absolute." Zhao Wu said, "Don't look at the population of Somalia compared to country Z, but the population density is said to have reached nearly 200,000 people per square kilometer, such a population density, relying on drone monitoring, can not be monitored, and we have not installed a monitoring system in those cities, monitoring most of the people, it is also impossible to do." We can only send commandos to those who we already have identities to carry out targeted killings, and eliminate some of them. ā
"Eliminating these people is just a trivial matter, the key is to try to catch some alive and come back and ask for more information from their mouths. We need to know if they really have a connection to an organization like the Holy Brotherhood so that they can be deployed and adjusted in advance. Lin Hai said, "Don't go to the time when we are clearing them, but we are facing the weapons of the Sijing people, and the result is that we are unprepared and the operation fails, that is called shame." ā
"Rest assured, sir, whether or not they have joined forces with the Holy Brotherhood, we will arrange and deal with them as if they had joined forces."
"If you don't join forces, won't your arrangement be too wasteful? Let's get the information right first. Lin Hai said, "And with a group of militants composed of civilians as the opponent, we still need to go all out, even if it is a lion fight, it is too exaggerated, our real opponent is still the Sijing people." What I hope for most is their technology that can cross galaxies, so that we who have not yet mastered the ability to travel at the speed of light and above have the ability to travel the universe. It would be a great sin not to see an interstellar civilization emerge that we can fight against with our military capabilities, and it would be a great sin not to seize this opportunity to get everything we need. ā
"We won't miss this opportunity, sir." Zhao Wu replied, "We are already in action, although we can't all of those attackers, but as I said just now, eliminate one by one, there will always be a time to kill them all." ā
As the two men spoke, a convoy of six double-bladed armed transport helicopters, 24 armored vehicles, and 50 large trucks near the central Somali city of Galkayo was approaching the city at a speed of 60 kilometers.
In order to legitimize his presence in Somalia and beautify his image in the eyes of the Somali people, Iron Eagle will transport a batch of food supplies from time to time and provide them to surrounding towns at a very low price to help them survive the current period when it is difficult to buy food.
Originally, only a small number of troops were guarding these convoys. The locals were still very supportive and happy about Iron Eagle's food support behavior, so except for a few forces that continued to maintain the atmosphere of warlords, there were basically no one who would grab these supplies. As for those forces that have fought crookedly, and even those who have already made a move, naturally they no longer exist now, although Tie Ying does not dare to say that he will definitely repay him, but he is not so broad-minded that he will not fight back when attacked.
The reason why there are now six helicopters escorted by two hundred and forty armored vehicles is precisely because after the repeated attacks by members of those extremist groups, in order to ensure the safety of the convoy, the base has sent more escort forces to ensure that all the food can be delivered.
"Pelican No. 3 report, safe ahead, no problems." Such a convoy is also rare in Somalia, not to mention the eight armored vehicles in the front and rear and the remaining eight armored vehicles in the middle of the trucks, just six armed transport helicopters, it can already be said that it is rare in Somalia, not that Somalia does not have such weapons and equipment, but in the current situation, no one will send such a large team with such fanfare.
"Pelican 5 reports, the rear is safe, there are no problems." As two path-finding double-bladed helicopters returned to the convoy from the front, two more caught up from behind.
"This is Cheetah 1, all the teams are on alert, be careful, the patrol has been attacked many times these days, and we are likely to be there too. I hope everyone can return safely. Inside an armored car, a black officer put down the walkie-talkie, took a breath, and continued to look out the window with a wary gaze.
"Major Barney, if that's the case, then why didn't we send tanks to operate with us this time? It's just armored vehicles and helicopters, the vehicles are a little fragile, right? One of the soldiers sitting behind the major asked, "And even then, the number of escorts we sent is a little too small." (To be continued.) )
