Chapter 61: Hold on
Fernandez said slowly, "I know that every one of you thinks I'm the kind of soldier who is tough, but what I want to tell you is that being tough doesn't mean being brainless. This may be a good idea, full of aggression, but it is also too risky. You're going to strike at night, but you don't really have much chance of winning without the cover that night can provide. ”
"Maybe we don't have to fight them, just make enough noise to scare Efuya back on board......," Shogun explained.
Fernandez nodded, "I've heard your thoughts, there's no need to repeat them to me." I hope we can be a little more conservative than this risky plan, which is full of uncertain drinking water. ”
"So sir, what's the safe way?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Hold on and wait for help. Fernandez said slowly, "With strong fortifications, we will hold out longer." And in defensive battles, as the defender, we will have more chances and fewer casualties than them. On the one hand, we can no longer afford further losses; ”
"Backup?" Zhao Jianfei frowned, "Sir, with all due respect, if the support you are talking about refers to those people like Sander, it is best not to have too many expectations." Alien to Somali pirates, unlike the usual ones, most of the tribes here are either pirates or their families. Sander was a pirate himself, and he couldn't match Evya's strength. This time, he didn't attack the sunken island with Efuya, and he was already very concerned about the friendship between us. There is little chance of counting on him to help us. ”
Fernandez nodded, "Of course not Sander, he's shrewd and would be smart enough to avoid this sensitive action." And he won't give us any assistance, but I would say that some of the assistance doesn't have to be military. ”
"Isn't it military?Is there anyone else who can help us?" Qin Fen said a little inexplicably, "Could it be that they are still a group of unarmed fishermen? What can they do? Help dig a pit and collect the corpses?"
"There is a kind of influence in this world, some people really work hard all their lives, it is better than someone's casual words, as long as this person has enough influence. Fernández said calmly,
"You mean, Silver Wolf?" Lin Rui said with a slight startle.
"Yes, Michelle the Silver Wolf has deeper roots in this region than anyone else. Ninety percent of the local warlords were his friends. And more than 80 percent of them have benefited from him. Fernández said in a deep voice, "In fact, I have already made contact with him via satellite communication. He is already informing all forces that as long as the major warlords in Somalia are willing to act together, Efuya will not let out a single fart and will be driven back to his lair. ”
"It's not easy, I'm afraid. Shogan frowned, "Efuya was originally a local warlord. In addition, in the past few years, he has made a lot of money on the sea. Even the local people were deeply favored by Efuya, and they all regarded Efuya as a national hero, not a bandit. Otherwise, Efuya would not have been able to grow big. It is most unreliable to count on local Somali talent. ”
"Yes. Sir, we cannot entrust our lives and deaths in the hands of others. And, as you once said, let's never trust the locals. Lin Rui frowned.
Fernandez nodded, "That's what I said. But I really didn't trust any Somalis either. The man I believe in is Michelle the Silver Wolf. ”
"Sir, do you think Michelle is sure?" said Ivan, frowning.
"If he can say it, he will do it. It has always been so, and there are no exceptions. That's why he's the silver wolf. Fernandez took a deep breath and said.
Shogishi nodded, "What is not sure, the silver wolf will not do, especially in this kind of thing, he will definitely not make any irresponsible promises." Since he asked us to defend solidly and have a way to save us, he would be able to do it. I think he asked us to hold on to reinforcements out of the need to preserve our strength and reduce casualties. What do you guys think. ”
"I believe in him. Zhao Jianfei nodded.
"But I don't really trust the old man!" Yelena said coldly. "He's a senior executive at Morningstar, that's right, he has a lot of influence, and I believe that. But wasn't it because of the dispute between him and Joe that he had done us like this? How could he react so quickly in such a short period of time and start a siege against us?"
"But it was Joe, not Michelle, who hurt us. It was Joe who took advantage of the company's loopholes and let us rescue the hostages without backup, stabbing the hornet's nest of Efuya. Then he deliberately disclosed our information to Efuya. He wanted to kill two birds with one stone, that is, to get rid of us and destroy his creditors. Qin Fen said a little disappreciatively, "I think I should trust Mr. Michelle." ”
"Speaking of which, it's the damn alpha, and I want to beat him up. Ivan gritted his teeth.
"Don't do this, if you kill him, that's what Qiao is most happy about. Lin Rui said lightly, "But letting him live is tantamount to saddling Qiao with a debt and setting up an enemy for him." An unscrupulous arms dealer with ties to many armed groups is a difficult enemy to mess with. Even if you can't move him, you can add a little disgust to him. ”
"That's right, we're going to have that Joe lift a rock and smash him in the foot. Qin Fen nodded.
"And this qiē must have a premise, that we and Alpha are still alive. Jiang An said in a deep voice.
Zhao Jianfei nodded and said, "Hurry up and eat something, maybe there is still time to rest a little." We still have a whole night to get up. ”
"Not one night, but two days and two nights. Fernandez sighed, "That's pretty much the limit of what we can do." It is also the only guarantee that the silver wolf can guarantee. As long as we can survive these two days and two nights on the sunken island, he will have enough time to get each of us out safely. ”
"Two days and two nights?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"Yes, the silver wolf is coming. In addition, he has to deal with various local warlords, so that they can unite to exert pressure on Efuya. Two days and two nights is not a long time. Fernandez said lightly, "But for us, it will be a long and unbearable two days and two nights." ”
