Chapter 210: Parachute into Iraq
"Understood, Boss. Sergey nodded.
"You'd better understand. Lin Rui, "This task was not accepted by us willingly, but we were coerced and had to do it." Our employer is Mr. K, who cannot be trusted at all, and we have to operate in an area controlled by a group of Iraqi extremists, so the dangers contained are self-evident. ”
"It's not the first time anyway. Crazy Horse fiddled with the dagger in his hand and said with a wry smile, "It's Iraq again, I thought I was completely out of that place in my life." But after a walk, I went back there. ”
"If you want to open up a little man, Iraq isn't the worst experience. Snakeeye patted him on the shoulder. Before the two of them joined the Black Island, they had been mercenaries in Iraq for several years, so they were relatively familiar with that place.
After Lin Rui and others were fully prepared, they were sent by transport plane to the US military base in Kenya, Africa.
The fact that the US GIs, across a vast ocean, are able to frequently show their swords around China depends not only on its first-class military projection capabilities, but also on its network of military bases in various regions of the world. Among them, the base in Kenya is an important base that they often use.
In the aftermath of 9/11, Washington's strategic community has increasingly focused on the so-called "arc of instability" while preventing the rise of regional or global powers.
Comprised of the Caribbean coast, Africa, the Caucasus, Central Asia, South Asia, and the Korean Peninsula, the region is rich in energy resources, but it is fraught with internal crises that are constantly spreading outward, and Washington sees it as a major threat to its own interests. Unlike rising powers such as China and Russia, as well as hostile regional powers such as Iran, the "arc belt" poses mainly non-traditional security threats such as terrorist attacks, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, piracy, drug abuse, and refugee flows.
In response to this kind of threat, large, permanent bases are costly and untimely, and the US military needs to be more flexible, mobile, and miniaturized "forward deployment." To this end, the US Government has repeatedly made major arrangements, including finding new bases around the "arc belt," strengthening defenses, adjusting the way troops are stationed, shortening the duration of garrisons, and turning small bases into "duckweed."
The small base in Kenya where Lin Rui and others arrived is one of them, and at present, even the Pentagon's public list of bases cannot find the number and existence of this base. However, it can take off and land medium transport planes, and even heavy transport planes if necessary, as a supplement to the increased military investment in the Middle East.
Lin Rui and others, led by an officer wearing flying sunglasses, received their equipment and boarded a transport plane. "You're from a private military company?" the officer looked at Crazy Horse, who was inspecting his weapons.
"What's the matter, do we look obvious?" said Crazy Horse with a frown.
"Not really, but you're going to Iraq at this time, and there's a woman in it, and I don't think it's ours. The officer looked at them and smiled. "Rest assured, we often meet people like you. And we'll take you to the right place. ”
"Thank you very much. Crazy Horse nodded, "Also, don't stare at that chick." She's a Russian, and she's not very good-tempered. Don't mess with anyone, especially women with sniper rifles. ”
“ok。 The officer turned and said, "You're all ready, do you need me to explain to you a little bit more about how to parachute? ”
"Save it, Yankee, you're really treating yourself like a dish. When my brother was skydiving, you were still fucking in the academy. Sergei mocked unceremoniously, and sat without respect and lit a cigarette.
"You're Russian too?" the officer frowned.
"We are a multinational force, in addition to the Russians, there are Germans, Israelis, Arabs and South American boys, and our head is still Chinese. Crazy Horse patted him on the shoulder and said, "And don't think you're an American." When you go to school, you should study history well, and you will know that you are only a descendant of European colonizers, and that Indians like me are real Americans. ”
The officer was stunned for a moment, he was completely unable to communicate with the gang. These people are all self-righteous, and they pride themselves on being unruly, and they like to provoke when they have nothing to do. He could only shake his head and turn away from them.
Lin Rui sat in the corner and smoked cigarettes with his brothers, and smoking in the cabin of an airplane was almost a tradition for them. made those US soldiers want to scold their mothers, but they don't dare to provoke these people. Because none of these people seem to be easy to mess with.
Lin Rui snuffed out half of the cigar, put it in his pocket, and said slowly, "There is a beginning and an end, return victorious." ”
"There is a beginning and an end, and victory returns. "The O2 guys did what he did. The transport plane flew over the destination and then began to descend to the altitude of the signaling parachute. "See the pyrotechnic beacon below? We've arrived, ready to skydive. Check the gear, hang the paraline. The U.S. pilot turned his head and said.
The hatch opened, the team members jumped out of the cabin, and the parachutes were opened, falling in a line in the air. They did not arrive at noon as originally planned, but chose to parachute at night according to Lin Rui's request. Because Lin Rui understood that there might be extremists everywhere in this area, it would be too noticeable to parachute in broad daylight. Even at night, they had to be careful. Fortunately, the area seems quiet, and there are not many lights until late at night. Only the green fireworks flickering in the distance serve as their beacons.
Landing from the air, Lin Rui got up with a tumbling cushion and removed the parachute harness. Turning his head to look at his teammates, they all landed close to each other, and they were all within sight of him. "Safety!" Lin Rui heard the voices of the team members in his headphones.
"Hide the parachute to avoid being traced to our whereabouts. Then assemble at the beacon. Lin Rui said calmly. They are in a very delicate position, and there may be militants everywhere around them. Therefore, when the team members parachute down, it is best to hide their parachutes to avoid their parachute landing location being revealed, so as to avoid more possible traces.
Ten minutes later, the team arrived at the beacon location, where a U.S. military team was waiting for them. Now that they are approaching, the U.S. military team immediately stands on alert, "Stop moving forward and report your action code!"
"Action Code: Foxoo4—J" Lin Rui replied as he came out of the darkness.
