"I really didn't expect that there would be British people who would run away as extremists. Sergei shrugged and smiled.

"It's not funny. Silver Wolf shook his head and said, "In recent years, as the number of extremists has grown, so have the number of places where they can train. Naturally, more people will be recruited, and social media has become a great way to attract young people. So far, 4,000 people from the UK are expected to travel from the UK to Afghanistan to train or join the fighting.

According to other sources, the number of British citizens who went to fight in Syria and Iraq may be between 500 and 1500 people. If this figure is to be believed, then the scale of the number of people involved in jihad is quite significant. Some of these extremists returned from abroad, while others were killed in the fighting. Some of them are teenagers. ”

"I'm willing to bet this guy is certainly not some thrill-seeking teenager. Judging by his service record, he was a pretty good sergeant. Lin Rui flipped through the information and said, "This Sergeant Moreno, is it really voluntary to join those extremist organizations?"

"Yes, according to the investigation, he joined in February last year. Because of his excellent military qualities, he was appointed as an instructor by this armed organization, and specially trained soldiers for them to command important operations. And through several battles against government forces, this Syrian self-defense force now has some prestige. It seems that now they are ready to go one step further and continue to expand their popularity. The silver wolf nodded.

"I kind of don't get it. The Germans are tolerant of these Middle Eastern refugees and take them in, why do these extremists kidnap Germans. Sergei frowned a little and said, "Logically, shouldn't they be grateful to the Germans?"

"Do you know why these people are called extremists? Because they have no reason to talk about it. "They consider refugees who have fled their homes to be traitors because they won't take up arms to fight. In the same way, the Germans who took in these refugees were even more hateful. Because they have weakened some people who might have been jihadist soldiers.

They believe that only when there is no way back, will there be warriors who risk their lives. Now that everyone has fled, who else is going to carry out the great jihad? So these Germans must be punished. ”

"What kind of logic is this?" Lin Rui couldn't help but shake his head.

That's their logic. Okay, take this information back and have a look, and then we'll leave tomorrow. I can only give you an afternoon and evening to prepare. You have to hold a combat meeting overnight to discuss how to deal with it. Leave tomorrow morning, because the prime time to rescue the hostages is three days before they are arrested, and if they miss it, the kidnappers risk losing patience and injuring the hostages. And the hostages may also become weak for physical and psychological reasons. Silver Wolf Michelle shook his head.

"Okay, it's a bit of a tight schedule, but we can still try. Lin Rui nodded and said, "I'll arrange it." ”

"Go ahead, three hours later, there's a video conference between us and the Germans, and they're going to give more detailed intelligence information. Everything else you need is in the mission briefing. Remember to bring your mobile computer, if there is an update available, we will notify you via satellite network. The silver wolf nodded.

"But you'll have to take those newcomers with you for this operation, they'll need to be put to the test of battle, and at least that Hans knows German anyway. The silver wolf nodded.

"Including Aladdin's chick?" Sergey said in surprise.

"Yes, this is their first operation in O2, bringing everyone with them. Lin Rui shook his head and followed, "I hope I can bring them back too." ”

He and Sergey returned to the camp and told all the team members to assemble in the squad tactics room. Looking at the four rookie mercenaries, including Aladdin's daughter Crystal,. Lin Rui nodded, "I welcome you all to join again, because tomorrow, you will accept your first mission to enter O2." I only have two requirements for you, listen well and do well. ”

"Listen to what, do what?" said Cook, a black man, with a frown.

"Listen to me, listen to what this tactical meeting is about, understand what is planned, and then follow the plan. I don't care what kind of messy mercenary troops you fought before, or what messy battles you fought. But in O2, we have to follow our rules. Lin Rui looked at them and said.

"Understood, sir. Cook, the black man, immediately stood upright.

"I repeat, don't call me sir, and there's no need to bow to me, especially during the mission. I don't want to be a worthy target for enemy snipers because you have too much respect for me. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I'm just your captain, if you can trust me, then I can try to bring you all back." ”

"Yes, Captain. Hans, a German, nodded.

Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "By the way, what's your name, Cook? It sounds like a cookie, it's too hard to remember, I think you look like that kind of black chocolate cookie, so you can just call it a cookie in the future." And you, Saladin, seem to be afraid that others will not know that you are an Arab, and you will be called a chief in the future. And your crystal, that's not your real name anyway. ”

"Yes, Captain, what am I called?" said Hans, frowning.

"Sausages. Lin Rui touched his nose and said, "You look like a Bavarian white sausage from Germany." ”

The mercenaries burst into laughter.

"Alright, sit down. A name is just a codename, it's who you are. Lin Rui nodded and said, "Actuary, send the task briefing to everyone." We only had one afternoon and evening time to prepare. Because of the rush of time, there are so many things to master, so I can only compress your rest time. ”

They spent the afternoon immersed in tactics, not just getting acquainted with the various situations on the mission briefing. There is also a need to know all kinds of other information, including the background of the operation, the geographical situation. The complex terrain of Syria and the various separatist forces alone were enough for them to study for half a day.

This continued until 3 p.m., when the video conference on the German side began, which was a very high-security meeting. At the request of the client, they are not allowed to keep this record. On the German side, five people attended the meeting, two intelligence officers, one military, and two were the two leaders of the operation.

This scene is high-level at first glance, and after talking about some key issues, the other party gave further intelligence information very directly, and asked the Black Island mercenaries to solve the matter as soon as possible.
