"What's going on with those people in Africa? The Empire has provided them with the greatest support possible, and they have been so wasted by two snipers, and the secret base, the extent of the losses is still unknown."

These words of the devil officer with the rank of colonel were squeezed out of his teeth, and they sounded extremely infiltrating.

The other officers in the room didn't know what was going on, and they should all be under the control of the officer, because the officer's desk was placed at such an angle that no one else could see what was displayed on the officer's monitor.

However, the officer's self-talk somewhat revealed something, such as the name "Africa".

Restricted by their own geographical environment, the living space of the devils is actually very narrow, and it is not an easy task to feed hundreds of millions of citizens in a land like chicken intestines. More importantly, strategically speaking, the devil has no strategic depth, people can kill the entire country in one breath, plus they are an island country, surrounded by the sea, once they lose air and sea supremacy, it is like meat on the chopping block, slaughtered by others.

In order to change this strategic posture of the country, the devils have tried to expand their territory for a long time. When they entered the modern industrial civilization, they never gave up this idea, so in World War II, they brazenly launched an attack on the extremely weak China.

In fact, the Chinese lost that battle, if it were not for the fact that the United States first dropped two nuclear weapons on Devil Island, even if the devil would still lose in the end, but that outcome is still not something China can bear, and the four words "the country will not be a country" will evolve into "the country is no longer a country."

After the end of World War II, the devils seemed very cautious on the surface, but in their bones they never gave up this idea and desire. Asia's overcrowded territory leaves the devils with no choice, so they can only look further away and chaotic Africa.

Africa has always been at the source of chaos and is not itself, but after many years of combined influence from Europe and the Americas, there is still not a day of peace in Africa. It is precisely because of this chaos that the devils have a glimmer of hope, and they have secretly resorted to various means to try to obtain a piece of land of their own in Africa.

Thanks to the increasingly mature ocean-going technology and various high-speed vehicles, the world's space distance is relatively shrinking, and the developed ocean-going transportation capacity gives the devils the confidence to project population and resources, all of which prompts the devils to invest more and more in Africa, and even some quite important research has been put in a few secret bases in Africa.

I'm afraid that when the devils formulated this strategy, they didn't take into account at all, they would encounter such a hard bone as the saber mercenary group, even if the first heir of Triangle Heavy Industries was killed in that encounter, in the eyes of the devils' decision-makers, it was just an accident.

In order to avenge the heir, the decision-making level agreed to the request of Triangle Heavy Industry and tried to launch an attack on the saber mercenary group, but no one thought that the saber mercenary group would take the initiative to "invade" the base, resulting in a serious accident!

In the devil's own country, only a very small number of people know about this accident, and only they know how much damage this accident has caused them.

The Colonel, whose face was as pale as iron, turned worried again after a violent tantrum, since this matter had happened, he had to report it, and reporting it meant that he would suffer the wrath from above.

Even the senior executives of Triangle Heavy Industries did not know that there was a very important laboratory in the base on the border of Libreville, Africa, and the research project of this laboratory was of great importance for the devils to further occupy Africa.

"Report, urgent information has just been received, the following ......"

The colonel, who was holding the phone, lowered his voice and solemnly reciprocated, and in his heart, he was ready to break jade.

"The exact extent of the damage is not very clear at this point, and the fire from the oil explosion has completely sealed the passage, and it is currently impossible to send people in...... Yes, I'm going to Africa right away, the Saber Mercenary Regiment, it must be wiped out! ”

Even across the phone, the colonel's officer was extremely respectful, one by one, and bowed to the phone extremely respectfully after hanging up the phone.

"I'm Taniguchi, give me the fastest flight to Libreville, yes, right away."

Facing Colonel Taniguchi, who is very respectful to his superiors, he has a full frame when he orders his superiors, and his tone is completely intolerant of martial rebellion, perhaps this is also a manifestation of the true temperament of the devils, and the devils as a whole seem to be very suitable for such a result.

After arranging his itinerary, Taniguchi got up and walked into a separate office. Perhaps in order to alleviate the sense of oppression brought about by being underground, the floor height of the office area where Taniguchi is located is higher than that of the buildings on the ground, which makes Taniguchi appear to be shorter and shorter.

After closing the door, Taniguchi carefully took out a phone from his pocket and dialed the number. I don't know who he's talking to on the phone, even if it's in a lonely room, and his voice is so low that it's hard to hear.

At the end of the short three-minute call, Taniguchi put the phone back in his pocket and began to pack his bags.

If a high-ranking military officer like Taniguchi entered Africa under his own identity, he would inevitably be surreptitiously monitored by various countries, which meant that he would not be able to carry out his work at all, so he could only act as a smuggler, and Taniguchi gave up all identification documents except for the proof needed internally.

After coming out of the underground base, Taniguchi sped away in an off-road vehicle that had been waiting for him, and perhaps only he knew what kind of way and what kind of transportation he would take to Africa.

At the same time, the devils' base in Libreville, after everyone's unremitting efforts, finally extinguished all the fires on the surface of the base.

In this base, most of the personnel are not devils and natives, but mercenaries they recruit with high salaries, so many secret things, these mercenaries who work for money don't know, because they come from different countries and even different mercenary groups, and these mercenaries don't have too deep feelings between them, even in this sudden disaster, many mercenaries died inexplicably, and there are few strong complaints and revenge.

The only thing that most mercenaries think about after the fire has broken down is to rest, so that the exhausted body can get a relaxation, even if it is a sleep on the ground full of mud and dirt, it is excellent.

However, there are also mercenaries with excess energy, and from time to time they look at the cave located in the corner of the base, which has been blocked by the devils, and does not allow idlers to approach.

Obviously, for the sake of secrecy, ordinary people were not allowed to approach it, and the direct result was that there was still fire and smoke coming out of the cave, and the fire extinguishing work was not going well. First, the temperature is too high due to the burning of a large amount of oil, and it is impossible to approach it without adequate protection. Second, it is difficult to carry out fire extinguishing work smoothly in such a special environment as the entrance of the cave.

What's more, unlike the fire on the ground, the fire caused by the burning of oil cannot be solved by watering at all, and theoretically speaking, the effect of pouring oil on the fire and watering on the oil fire is the same.

At this time, no one cared about the enemy on the hill, and after round after round of heavy artillery bombardment, even if the enemy on the hill had nine lives, there would be no one left at this time.

"Poof~"

The large stone, which had been identified as the first gathering place by Bai Ge, had been sharpened like a washboard under several rounds of heavy artillery bombardment. Perhaps this big rock is like an iceberg floating on the surface of the sea, although the part that exposes the sea surface is huge, but even more huge is the body submerged by the sea, and only in this case can it be guaranteed that after several rounds of shelling, this big rock still does not move at all.

Next to the boulder, the thick floating soil suddenly arched up, like a fast-playing seed germination process, and a black head popped up.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Even if he knew that it was not suitable now, Zhang Ran still couldn't help coughing strongly, the matter of burying him in the floating soil was too long, even if he had a special mask, but when he breathed in a big breath due to lack of oxygen, no matter how good the mask was, it was difficult to ensure the cleanliness of the air.

Zhang Ran didn't die, he chose to jump into the gap next to the big stone at the most critical time, he was also gambling at the time, and the result seemed to be good, at least he was right.

Although he was not dead, the impact of the shell explosion was real, and Zhang Ran, who raised his head, in addition to the dirty dirt on his face, the blood soaked out of his facial features condensed the dirt and dust even thicker.

Struggling to roll over his body from the dirt, the pressure on his chest was gone, and Zhang Ran was finally able to breathe two fresh breaths smoothly. But with every breath, he had to endure pain like torture. He didn't know if his ribs were broken, or how many.

Even Zhang Ran was a little worried about whether his internal organs were destroyed and whether there were symptoms of internal bleeding under this continuous and huge impact. Strictly speaking, the number of people killed directly by artillery shells on the battlefield is far less than that of those who are shocked to death, and there are often many people who are first shocked to death and then blown apart.

Fortunately, the big stone beside Zhang Ran protected him, and he just embedded himself in the gap next to the big stone, so that a large number of impacts were blocked by the stone, otherwise Zhang Ran's best situation was to leave a complete corpse.

After a brief examination, Zhang Ran was sure that he had won the jackpot, and under the cover of the cannon fire in the sky, there was actually some subcutaneous bleeding caused by the impact, but he did not suffer more injuries.

"White leather, white leather, speak."

Zhang Ran, who was excited, pressed down the pager, but to his disappointment, he waited for a long time but did not reply.
