Chapter 1501: Hanika Camp
Lin Rui's judgment was correct, Haria knew that he would only come at night, and his face was a little unpleasant. He brought some food and drink and gave them to them. The food is roasted naan and some snacks, and the drink is black tea with added sugar.
It was not the first time Lin Rui had eaten this kind of food, but he still felt that Pakistani food was quite distinctive, and he said while drinking black tea, "Is there any news?"
Haria whispered, "I probably won't be able to help this time. ”
"Why?" Lin Rui frowned, "You received the money." ”
"I can give you back twice as much as I do. Haria whispered, "It's not that I won't help you, it's just that this time it's not good. Haesa is in charge of this, and he is not easy to mess with. I can't put me and my family in order to help you. I have three children, all of whom are not yet adults. ”
Lin Rui was silent for a moment and said, "But we need this information very much. ”
"Ha'esa is the most radical faction of the Haqqani network, and they do whatever it takes. If I help you, in case they find out. Haesa said helplessly, "It's too dangerous." ”
"How much money do you need?" Lin Rui said as he looked at him.
"It's really not about money, it's just that I don't do business this time. Haria nodded.
"Really didn't do it?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, I'm sorry. Haria shook her head.
Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "Okay, I'm different from most mercenaries, we don't make it difficult for others. He got up and said, "Then we'll take our leave." ”
Crazy Horse whispered, "Rick, I know Haria is a tough guy, but this isn't the time to lose your temper. We can't get news here on our own, only through local connections. And Haria is the person with the most background and connections in this area. In the vicinity of Peshawar, even if there is a little bit of trouble, he will have news. We can't give up on his clues, and it looks like he knows something. ”
"Even if he knows, but he doesn't dare to say it, what can we do with him? Hang him up and torture him?" Lin Rui shook his head and said, "It's true that we are mercenaries, but we are not bandits." Sometimes we use some radical means, but most of the time we are forced to do so. But at least we're not at the end of the rope yet. ”
"Let me talk to him. Crystal looked at Lin Ruidao.
"You?" Lin Rui frowned.
"We are old acquaintances, and he must be able to give me some face. Crystal whispered. "It doesn't necessarily work, but you have to try. ”
Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "Okay, as soon as possible." If Haryaken helps, we'll stay, and if it doesn't, we'll leave sooner and think of other options. ”
Crystal nodded, "Give me a few minutes, I can get him to change his mind." ”
Lin Rui didn't object, just sat down again. Crystal walked over, pulled Haria aside, and whispered a few words. Haria quickly lost her temper and sweat ran down her forehead. In the end, he relented.
Crystal walked over and said, "We seem to have a deal." ”
"What, he agreed?" Lin Rui frowned, "You didn't mess around, did you?"
"No, I didn't even move a hair from him. Crystal sighed, "I just told him the names of his three children. And in what school. ”
Lin Rui was stunned, he smiled bitterly and said, "He didn't look for you desperately." ”
"Because he didn't dare, he knew that if I wanted something, I would get it. Crystal said slowly, and she turned to the gloomy Harya, "Come here, Harya." Tell us what you've heard. ”
Haria seemed to be in awe of Crystal, and walked over and whispered, "Originally, there were four or five secret camps in the vicinity of Peshawar by the Haqqani network, but in Operation Sword, the Pakistani military suffered a lot of losses. There are only three left, one of which is still closed. I've inquired, and there's nothing wrong with those two camps.
But there was something unusual about the closed camp, where they got fuel and other maintenance equipment from a friend of mine. I think it's supposed to be for repairing the generator, and they're going to fix the generator, which means they might be trying to reopen the secret camp. ”
"Secret camp?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes. "This camp of theirs has never been discovered, neither by government forces nor by American drones." Since 2004, drones have been dispatched more than 300 times, killing about 2,000 people, but no one has discovered the secret camp. ”
Lin Rui frowned and said, "What's the matter, why are they able to hide it so well?"
"Because the camp originally belonged to a group of Afghan militants, the U.S. military attacked it once with a drone. Everyone thought it was abandoned. Outwardly, it is. But in reality, this abandoned camp is nothing more than a front. Those members of the Haqqani network are hiding in a nearby village, which is normal on the surface, but in fact it is full of militants and their families. Haria said.
"It's kind of like a tribal force. Lin Rui nodded.
"Yes, they are very cunning, they are warriors when they take up arms, and they are honest peasants when they lay down their arms. I don't stay in the camp until I have anything to do, I only go there for training. All the Pakistani military thought that the camp had been wiped out, and that all that was left was a few villagers living nearby.
And because US drones often cross the line, Pakistan has already protested. Coupled with the fact that the U.S. military has now withdrawn from Afghanistan, there are fewer drone patrols, and they should have hid the hostages there and prepared to reopen the training camp. Haria said.
"Is the source reliable?" Lin Rui frowned.
"I have several friends who have confirmed that there are people from the Haqqani Network who are active there. Their words are not false, because they themselves are peripheral members of that organization. You know that every armed group needs that kind of people, who are specifically prepared for them to procure some supplies and necessities or something. Haria whispered. "It's inevitable that we'll deal with them in our business. So I have a good relationship with them. You can't be wrong with this news. ”
Lin Rui nodded, "I hope your message is useful." Where are the coordinates of the camp?"
"I don't have the coordinates, but I know the place, and if you need to, you can get someone to take you there. But I can't. Haria shook her head, "My goal is too conspicuous. You'll be discovered before you get there. ”
