Chapter 208: Confinement and Siege

In the temporary headquarters set up by the Black Island Military Company, the atmosphere was solemn. 2. Lin Rui constantly issued orders in the communication command room and received information received on the front line of the conflict.

"Report on the situation of the Chinese oil base. Lin Rui said in a deep voice.

"Now that the fighting has come to an end, the militants have made several attempts to attack the base, but we have repelled them. A hole in the perimeter wall on the southwest side of the base was blown up, but there was no significant damage except for a few wounded. The insiders of the base are under our protection, and their mood is stable at the moment. Wang Jinghua replied. "They cut off the power lines, but at the moment the motors inside the base are still working, so there is no problem with the power supply. Defenses at night will not be too much of a problem either. ”

"That's good. Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "The brothers have worked hard, try to arrange the rotation rest, so that everyone can get a certain amount of rest." How is the opponent's offensive at the moment?"

"They attacked several times from morning to afternoon, but they didn't work well, so now they have stopped attacking for the time being. But it is also possible that a night sneak attack is being prepared. But judging from our current defensive deployment, even if it is a sneak attack at night, they may not be able to take advantage of anything. Wang Jinghua replied.

"Good, keep going. If you have any questions, please contact us as soon as possible. Lin Rui cut off the communication and turned to look at the other team members and said, "They did a good job on their first day, and the Secret Society shouldn't be rash anymore now." ”

"There is also good news, our public opinion war has had a certain effect. The reports and video files published by those reporters have now gone viral on the Internet. Although several major countries have not yet taken a public statement, we have already attracted attention. Many people are aware of this local conflict in Ammorson. And before, people had not even heard of the place of Ammor. Fat Will turned and said.

"Well done, it's going to make them bogey. Don't dare to move a larger attack. Shogishi nodded.

"Great!" Sergey whistled, turned and high-fived each other with guns. Several of the other mercenaries were also happy. In the battle of this mission, the people of the Secret Society suffered a dark loss, and this start was not bad for them.

But Lin Rui obviously thought more, he was silent for a while, then turned to Will and said, "Contact Crystal and ask him, what new information is there about the Secret Society?"

Will nodded, switching the communication channel to another. The LCD screen on the command vehicle shows a crystal video signal. "You've done a great job today, but the Order seems to be doing the same. According to our insiders, they did not increase the intensity of the attack further, but dispersed the personnel around the oil production base. Crystal looked at them and said, "That's bad news. ”

"Why? Isn't it good news for us that they disperse their forces and mean that they are going to abandon the attack?" said Crazy Horse.

"Normally it's good news, but not this time. They deployed their troops on several major roads outside the base. There is a similar situation in several other oil production areas. Crystal whispered.

Lin Rui took the map and looked at it, and immediately realized the Secret Society's intentions. "They want to besiege these oil production areas for a long time, force the oil companies to compromise, and then walk away. ”

"Yes, that's it. Crystal whispered, "One more thing, our previous approach to involving the media in this matter was really a miracle move. This has attracted widespread attention, and it has also made the Secret Society dare not act too recklessly. But in fact, this is also a double-edged sword that hurts others and hurts themselves, once the employees of these oil companies are trapped for a long time, and the news of the trapped situation spreads, those international oil companies will also bear a lot of pressure. As soon as they offered to abandon those oil bases, evacuate people. Then we're actually going to be very difficult to do. ”

"That's right, I've thought about this layer. The Order must have thought of it as well. Lin Rui paced back and forth, "They first besieged these oil production bases, and then they may damage the oil pipelines, causing these enterprises to be unable to produce normally." As a result, these oil companies will begin to disagree that the region is no longer fit to continue. When the time comes, the employer orders the evacuation, and there is nothing we can do. ”

"That's it. Crystal said slowly, "There's also news that the person who is said to have come up with this solution is a strategist. ”

"Marklovsky, he's in Ammor, too?" Lin Rui was slightly startled.

"Yes, and he's currently cooperating with the Red Baron. The proposal to besiege the oil production base this time was put forward by him. His strategy was to besiege but not attack, and to keep the pressure on. Waiting for those oil companies to collapse on their own. Crystal whispered, "This person is the brains of the Grand Duke of the Secret Society, and he is very powerful in terms of strategy. The Red Baron, with his assistance, will be a tiger with wings. ”

"Boss, this is not a good situation. That strategist, Mark Lovesky, was a real sinister. Last time we almost suffered a big loss from him. Crazy Horse looked at Lin Rui and said.

Lin Rui frowned and looked at Jiang Andao, "Actuary, what do you think?"

"Their blockade plans must be disrupted. Shogan pondered for a moment and said decisively. "The employees of those oil companies, although they are used to seeing such things in Africa, are not soldiers after all, but civilians. They are skilled workers, or managers. Their mental capacity simply cannot support them in a situation where they are trapped for a long time. Once they reach the bottom line that they can bear, then they will collapse and take the initiative to evacuate. Because no one wants to live in fear like this as a whole. Especially when they still have a choice. ”

Lin Rui nodded, "That's true." ”

Albert Von, who had been silent beside him, spoke, "Maybe we can break their blockade." ”

"How exactly?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Each one is broken. Albert pointed to the map, "Let's start with this area, which is the main road in and out of the oil production base. If the Secret Society held on here, it would be enough to cut off the transportation and supply lines of several major oil fields in the entire northern part of Ammore, including the Chinese oil production base. We must open the gap here before their siege is fully established. ”

"But this is not the solution to the underlying problem. Shogishi shook his head and said, "If they send a dozen people to guard here, even if we attack this place and take it down smoothly." But it can't last long, because we can't stay there forever. Maybe today we will deal with them, and tomorrow they will send someone again. It's going to be a tug-of-war with no ending. ”
