"Damn it, that place must be full of vicious militants. Sergei shook his head.

"CIA intelligence suggests that they have used chemical weapons on several occasions on the battlefield and have the ability to create small amounts of chemical weapons such as chlorine and mustard gas. These guys will be able to get chemicals and munitions that can be used, and this group may also seek to export chemical weapons to Western countries for economic gain. All this shows that the enemy we have to face is not simple. Shogishi looked at the team members.

"Where are they?" asked Yelena.

"It's hard to say that there are extremists hiding everywhere in Iraq today. Prior to this, Iraqi government forces believed that they were hiding in a village called al-Bashir, and now the Iraqi air force has launched an air raid on the village. As for the effect, it is unknown. In my opinion, the gap is only symbolic. It is estimated that long before the start of the air strikes, the militants ran away without a trace. Shogishi replied. "Iraqi intelligence, in 2o13, sabotaged a group that was planning a chemical weapons attack and dismantled three dens containing chemical gases such as sarin and mustard gas. But it's not around. ”

"They have the potential to be anywhere. Lin Rui nodded.

"The C.I.A. is convinced that the militants have a team that specializes in chemical weapons, including Iraqi experts who worked for Saddam Hussein and experts from other countries. Biowarfare experts in the US military are convinced that the mustard gas used by these extremists in Iraq is made in Mosul, and they believe that these militants can get all the biochemical substances from the oil industry and have experts in their hands.

But it's a disinformation, because it's a smokescreen. This extremist group clearly does not have the capability to launch a large-scale chemical weapons attack, because it requires not only specialized technology, but also specific equipment, raw materials, and supply chains to make enough chemical weapons agents. Experts say this in order to cover up the fact that the chemical agent was made in the United States. Shogishi replied.

"Maybe they're really just small batches?" Crazy Horse frowned.

"That's not what the recent attacks say. Several people were killed and more than 600 were injured, and that was not a small fight. Moreover, the Iraqis have recently seized a batch of industrial-grade gas masks from local militants, which is also a sign that they are preparing for chemical warfare in this war zone. That is, the chemical weapons in their hands have a certain scale. Shogishi explained. "They have a certain amount of stock, not ad hoc production. Although only mustard gas and chlorine gas are currently used. By modern standards, they are all very low-end weapons. ”

"But this investigation and evidence collection team did not know about this, and they were probably misled by this false information. It is also possible that attempts to find the production base of these chemical agents have led to some more serious circumstances that led to their abduction by the militants. ”

"Then how are we going to check?" Sergey frowned, "going to Iraq and asking from door to door?"

"No, the CIA provided us with intelligence to conduct a search in a general area. The United States and Iraq have been paying close attention to the threat of chemical weapons, believing that this group still occupies a large area and is very conducive to hiding chemical weapons.

The U.S. military is currently deploying a special operations force to Iraq, which will be about 1oo people. The force is not a ground combat unit with armor and heavy artillery, and only a small number of trained personnel will participate in a limited range of targeted raids in the future. Similar to ground assault squads and the like, this unit will also provide us with the necessary assistance. In fact, they have locked down a general area, but the final search will be done by us. Shogishi replied.

"What a big area. Snakeeye asked.

"From the information they provided, this suspicious area is not large, just a few villages located between the two small towns. We're going to search the area, but we're going to meet with resistance whether the team is in the area or not. Because this is an area controlled by extremist forces. "Shogishi sent a map to the LCD.

"We need equipment, including helmets and protective equipment against poisons, and some emergency antidotes. All are provided by the U.S. military. At the same time, they will also provide us with some very sensitive electronic detection equipment, which will detect harmful gases in the air. And it can help us to find some specific raw materials for the preparation of poisons. "Shogishi looked at the intelligence report.

"Since there is a U.S. squad in that area, we will also have backups?" Sergei asked.

"Unfortunately, we still don't. Because this U.S. military team is only responsible for providing us with intelligence and equipment, they only provide assistance, and cannot cooperate with our operations. On the other hand, the Iraqi side will provide some helicopter cover when we need it. So that we can rescue the investigation and evidence collection team. After finishing speaking, he closed the report, "That's all we have so far. If I had to say, that area was very chaotic indeed.

We may have a complete plan, but there are too many variables in the implementation process. Because we operate exclusively in the vicinity of the lair of large groups of militants. Their total number may be in the thousands, and possibly even more. ”

"That's why it's up to us to do this. The Yankees certainly understand the risks. Sausage nodded.

"Well, that's the rough picture. After boarding the plane tomorrow, there should be a more detailed report from the US military. In addition, we should not play with the Americans who believe in everything, we must also have our own plans. Although our presence in the Middle East is limited, Aladdin is a popular man there. In this operation, the crystal people will still cooperate with us. They are a hidden wonder army, and the Americans do not know it either. But in some cases, it may be the one we can best rely on. Lin Rui looked at the team members and said.

"So what do we do now?" Sergey said with a shrug.

"Don't drink from now on and get some good sleep. Tomorrow be in good spirits and ready to go. In this operation, we had to travel between two extremist-controlled towns, searching most of the surrounding villages. So it's possible to encounter very strong resistance. I need you to keep your heads above water, because I want you all to be able to come back on your own, and I don't want to come back with the ashes of any of you. Lin Rui looked at the team members and said.
