Chapter 2082: Barricades
The convoy of Lin Rui and the others continued to move forward, along the border road into the northern part of the Orumi Federation, which was controlled by the warlords of the north of Ammore. Because of the control of several oil-producing areas and the only small industrial towns in the Federation, the warlords here are relatively wealthy, so they are also a little more powerful than the other local warlords in the country.
But even then, they do not have the ability to fully fortify the border. The nearly 400-kilometer border is almost empty, sparsely divided with a few outposts and checkpoints, and a group of lazy black soldiers are stationed. They didn't check when they saw a vehicle passing by because they saw the word AU printed on the body, which is the mark of the AU. The vehicles of such international organizations are usually armed guards, which is why they are too lazy to go and check them.
They would rather like to check on some civilians, so that they might be able to get some oil and water. In their eyes, it is almost natural for the soldiers to extort civilians from passers-by, otherwise why would they stay at this border checkpoint?
However, the troops of these African warlords, no matter how bad their military discipline is, know that these international organizations like the African Union cannot be offended. So they don't check at all, and when they see the car coming, they let it go.
Lin Rui, who was in the car, threw a cigarette to the black soldier at the window of the car, and the soldier took the cigarette with a smile and nodded to him.
These African soldiers don't like whites very much, but they don't have much ill toward Asians. Because of the increasing influence of Chinese investment in Africa over the years, many black people have worked for Chinese companies. For them, the yellow race is no stranger.
"How far is Kasan Town from here?" Lin Rui asked the black man.
"Kasan, are you going there? There is martial law in that town and along the way. The black man frowned. "I heard that General Logan's people are there. ”
Lin Rui nodded, "That's right, we're going to see General Rogan." This damn town can't be found on the map at all. ”
"There are still sixty or seventy kilometers to go. The black man nodded, "Follow the road, the town is on the right side of the road, you'll see." ”
"Thank you man. Lin Rui turned around and patted the car, "Let's go." ”
The vehicle continued to drive forward, and Crazy Horse whispered, "Rick, why did you deliberately ask him about the location of the town of Kasan? Don't we have a map and a satellite location?"
Lin Rui just wanted to test his tone and see if General Logan had really arrived in Kasan Town. This General Logan is an old and cunning guy who has been hiding in his hometown for fear of being assassinated. If he really came in person this time, he would definitely have set up his men in the town of Kasan, and impose regional martial law. Lin Rui asked about the situation in Kasan Town just now, just to find out if Logan was really here through this soldier. Shogan smiled slightly.
"I can't hide anything from you. Lin Rui smiled.
"But I don't understand, boss. Does that General Logan have anything to do with us if he's not in Cassan?" Crazy Horse wondered.
"Of course it matters, if he is not in Kasan Town, it means that he still has doubts about this operation, or maybe the Secret Society has not put enough pressure on him. That's why he continued to stay at home. However, if he came in person, it means that the pressure on him from the secret society is very great, and he already feels that he has no way out, and he is not safe at home, so he can only take risks. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Sometimes from some inadvertent little things, you can see what kind of mentality this person has." ”
Crazy Horse suddenly realized, "You mean, you want to see how much sincerity General Logan really has?"
Lin Rui nodded, "Now it seems that he should be in urgent need of our help, so he will personally come out to greet him." But the current situation in the north of Ammor is complicated, and even General Logan can't cover the sky with one hand, so we have to guard a little. Tell Sergey to adjust the order of the convoy on the road later. Put Brigadier Raul and the rest of the Mission in the back and let the armored vehicles drive into the middle of the convoy. ”
"I see, you mean, to create the illusion that our convoy is protecting this armored vehicle. In this case, even in the event of an attack, the attacker will focus on the armored vehicle. And not pay much attention to the few transporters at the back of the convoy. "Crazy Horse understands.
"That's right, that's one of the reasons. Lin Rui nodded, "General Logan has tightly guarded the town of Kasan, and has declared martial law on the roads near the town. This may attract the attention of the Order, especially this section of the road, which is dozens of kilometers outside General Logan's martial law zone, and we have to guard against it. If they arrange a raid, they will definitely attack the armored vehicles fiercely. The first is to strike at important targets, and the second is to cut us off from the middle. So the middle of the convoy, is the most dangerous. ”
"Understood, I will order the convoy to be regrouped as required. Crazy Horse nodded.
Lin Rui nodded. After passing through the checkpoint, the convoy re-formed on a road of about 10 kilometres and then moved on.
Along the way, it is still a desolate and magnificent African landscape. The yellow sparse grass and the red earth have a kind of beauty that goes straight to the hearts of people. Africa, the place where humanity originated, has also recorded too much human sorrow. There's about war, there's about slavery and plunder. A lot of things have never changed. War has never changed.
From the face-to-face combat of cold weapons in ancient times, to the long-range bombing of nuclear bombs by aircraft yesterday, and even the international deceitful deceit, although the form of war is constantly changing, and the name and starting point of war are also different, the essence of war has never changed. That's because there is original sin in human nature, arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, ****, gluttony, each of which can be a reason to kill, and even a lofty truth can be found in a grand way to cover up.
Lin Rui glanced down at the weapon in his hand, and slowly revealed a hint of mockery, how could he be different. Everyone is living for themselves, no matter how noble and holy they are, or how dirty.
The speed of the convoy slowed down significantly, and then gradually stopped, Lin Rui pressed the communication headset and whispered, "What's the matter?"
"Something isn't quite right up ahead. Sergei's voice whispered through the communication headset. "There are a lot of rocks piled up on the road, and it seems that someone is deliberately blocking the road. We parked early for fear of a roadside bomb. The sausage was walking over to inspect it, and it looked like something was going odd. ”
"Let him stay still, don't go over yet, and everyone get out of the car and be on guard. Lin Rui immediately shouted.
