Chapter 274: The Church
Li Qi weighed the situation and said to the woman: "If you are willing to tell the truth, or I can provide you with some medicine." Your companions have led the enemy away, but I don't think they will be able to pick you up anytime soon. β
"Well, I can tell you." "We were ordered to assassinate the Luba, the warlord general who controlled the diamond mines. β
"Why?"
"We don't ask why." The woman replied.
"Li Gui!" Li Qi said: "Check her injuries." β
"Yes!" Li Gui untied the bandage, and the woman gritted her teeth and endured the pain. Li Gui opened the wound and said, "The bullet stayed in the body and pressed the major arteries. She had to undergo surgery to remove the bullet as soon as possible, otherwise there would be a big movement that could cause bleeding and death in the aorta. β
"Give her some hemostats and bandages. Kindness...... Leave her with another shot of morphine. β
Li Gui hesitated: "Advisor, we can send her to the church." The surgery is not very difficult. β
Xun Xuan said loudly: "I agree with Li Gui's opinion. This is not a woman's benevolence. Save her one in, maybe we can get extra help. β
"Come to Africa to make friends, you really have ideas." Li Qi thought about it and said, "Gou Xuan, you and Li Gui make a stretcher and carry her away." Li Qi knew that Li Gui hesitated because she felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. It's all security companies, it's all women, it's all in Africa. Although listening to the sea security company and entering the house is really not comparable.
Xun Xuan said: "I feel that my point just now is wrong. Africa is not a good place to make friends. β
"I'm the captain." Li Qi said: "Xiao He, you explore the road first." Zhang Mei stayed at the high point to observe the situation in the direction of the firefight. β
Chop down a few small trees and bundle them with vines to make a simple stretcher. Li Gui fixed the woman's leg to avoid artery damage caused by big movements. Then he and Xun Xuan lifted the woman into the front and walked forward. The woman said in English, "You should know that I don't thank you. β
Li Qi smiled: "I just don't want my subordinates to misunderstand that I'm a cold-blooded villain because of a convenient thing." Don't worry, if we get into trouble, I'll order them to leave you behind. β
Xun Xuan scolded: "Which unlucky one said that he wanted to save her, so fat." "Xun Xuan has never suffered this kind of hardship. But the words were said by themselves, and I was embarrassed to deny them. Fortunately, Jiang Ying was kind-hearted, and after Xun Xuan's several hints, and even explicitly, he finally had no choice but to take the stretcher.
Jiang Ying only made one remark: "It's really fat." β
The march in the jungle was relatively slow, because Xiao He opened the way into a cautious action, and carrying a stretcher did not slow down the speed of the team's march. To the edge of the rainforest is a path. Li Qi looked at the telescope, and the church lights were faintly visible. However, the area is open on all sides. In addition, the Luba may be searching for outsiders...... Li Qi said: "Leave again at ten o'clock, everyone rest, eat something." β
There was a thunderclap, Xun Xuan looked up and smiled bitterly: "Okay, it's raining." Xiao He, set up a tent quickly. β
Poor little why not take a gun and be sent as a sand monk. He took off his backpack, looked for a suitable place, and set up a small improvised tent. As soon as the tent was set up, the rain poured down. Li Qi dodged from the rain and said: "Two snipers stay on high alert. β
Xun Xuan was angry: "Isn't it? With a telescope, anyone can do it. β
Before Li Qi could speak, another sniper, Zhang Mei, said, "I found the situation." β
Li Qi took the binoculars and went to the edge of the rainforest. On a small road outside the rainforest, two green trucks are moving. Then stop halfway. About five minutes later, night vision binoculars saw a man being dragged out of the rainforest by several hacked soldiers. In addition to the soldiers, there were two wolfhounds. The group braved the rain and pressed the man in camouflage onto the car, and then the car drove away.
Li Qi said: "Fortunately for this rain, otherwise the dead dog might have chased us." β
Zhang Mei asked: "Is that man from IZO?" β
"It's okay to help, but none of you should be afraid to rescue alone." Li Qi put away his binoculars and returned to the tent. Although Xun Xuan was inked, he still faithfully guarded his post.
Nuri raised her head and said, "My name is Barbie Gail." β
"Li Qi!" Li started to smoke, Li Gui, Jiang Ying, and Xiao He took away a fire every time they entered. Immediately there was a miasma of smoke in the tent. Li Qi took out a photo from the waterproof package and handed it over: "Have you ever seen this?" β
Gaier took the photo and looked at it for a while: "No! You're here to find him? β
"Yes!"
"Then you should go to Goma City Jail." "There is news that M23 has collected foreign imports to Goma City. β
"Yes!" Li Qi is not unaware of this news. However, the M23 is not an ordinary warlord or armed group, he has a Rwandan background. Although he had a diamond purchase agreement with Denton, Li Qi felt that it was too dangerous.
Gai'er returned the photo, looked at Li Qi's hand and said, "Show me that photo." β
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, looked down and saw that he still had a photo of Wang Kan in his hand. This time the commission Wang Kan is not the target, but Wang Kan is a friend of the big boss. Li Qi handed over the photo: "You know." β
"Of course I know, Wang." "He's in an international medical camp. They're dealing with a plague. The M23 and the warlords gave them the green light. And said that they would ensure the safety of their white spoons. β
"The plague?"
"I don't know much about that. An outbreak of tropical plague broke out in the vicinity of the medical camp. "Tropical microbes are numerous and complex. "There is a shortage of medicines in Africa, and there are not many ways for them to go deep into it," Geer said. We met with Wang, who led several villagers to advise us not to enter the area. β
"How is he?"
"He's not bad. I just look a little tired. β
"Yes!" Li Qi stopped talking and closed his eyes to recuperate. The rain stopped at nine o'clock, and the team set off at ten o'clock. Under the cover of night, head to the church.
It is often said that there is no winter in the tropics, but during this season, the temperature is still relatively low at night time. Although there are raincoats, it is difficult to fight the downpour. Xun Xuan, who lacked exercise, kept shivering.
Outside the church, Li Qi and Li Gui held guns. Xiao He opened the door of the church, and the two main attackers rushed in. It's a very ordinary church, with rows of chairs, a statue of Jesus, and multicolored glass. There are two electric lights at the top of the church. In Eastern Province, the source of private electricity is generally self-generated. There are power plants such as the capital or Goma, and the power supply is also unstable.
This church has everything, except for one missing, and there is no entry. The church was empty, and there was not a single person entered. Looking at the church floor, there are traces of mud and grass. The candle before Jesus has not yet burned out. Li Qi said: "The sniper is on the second floor, reconnoitering the east and west directions. Jiang Ying Xiaohe stayed, Li Gui, let's go in. β
Two into the kitchen after the search of the church, the basement, found nothing. In the basement there is a diesel generator still working. Li Qi carefully inspected and said: "This side should be evacuated, evacuated within twelve hours." "There was no sign of a robbery, everything that could be packed was packed.
Xun preached: "The church is not safe, and it should be evacuated. β
"Not one in." Li Qi returned to the church and observed: "There are at least more than 30 traces of entry here. Civilians of this size are very popular. Mining requires work, and warfare requires soldiers. β
"After the Luba warlords took control of the diamond mines, they set up bases near the mines, attacking villages everywhere to capture laborers. Women, children alike. Nearby villages were attacked and people fled their homes. And the M23 is apprehending children under the age of 16 and over the age of eight to serve as military recruits. β
Li Qi frowned and said in English: "There is an international school a hundred kilometers away from the church, and there are hundreds or thousands of orphans from Country G. M23 should prioritize attacking international schools, right? "This international school is an international school of kindness, which gathers war orphans in the Eastern Province and allows them to receive a certain education. The school hired mercenaries, but there were only a few of them. The flames of war in the eastern province of G have not been extinguished on more than a dozen sides.
"I think international schools have been attacked. Two years ago, we received information that the M23 and the Luba warlords had negotiated a joint attack on the school. The M23 is the most important armed force condemned by the United Nations General Assembly, and the favorite is these scouts who can pick up rifles. However, the Luba people have some concerns, and the donors to this school come from all over the world and are all reputable. The biggest disagreement is that it is the IS mercenary corps stationed at the international school. β
βISοΌβ Li Qi was surprised and asked: "Isn't the center of gravity of IS in the capital?" "The head of the Africa team is currently responsible for the security of two presidential candidates, supported by an IS mercenary fire. He had always thought that the South African private armed EO was in the International School.
"There are several international influencers in international school sponsorship. The IS African Mercenary Regiment took on the order five years ago, and they sent thirty mercenaries to the International School of Airborne Marine. At the same time, the head of the African special service team, Hassen, is also in the international school, and in the face of the deteriorating political situation, he has to find a way to take the students out of country G and reach the refugee camp. Ge'er had a comprehensive set of information: "NATO has privately and unofficially warned the Luba against the idea of attacking international schools. However, due to the rampant activity in M23, IS has not dared to make up his mind to lead Chiri's children out of school. At present, IS mercenary groups in Europe, Asia and South America have set off to prepare for the arrival of international schools. But due to factors such as transportation and political factors, it will take at least five years for them to really play a role. β
Li said: "M23 not only likes this group of orphans, but also looks at dozens of foreign teachers in the school. With this batch of chips, M23 will be able to withstand international pressure and establish its own territory in the Eastern Province. β
Jiang Ying said: "NATO should have air supremacy, why not use air superiority to pick up the inductees?" β
Gaier said: "It may be because it is impossible to mobilize such a huge military aircraft. In addition, the M23 is armed with SAM6 surface-to-air missile vehicles. A few years ago, the United Nations peacekeeping force dispatched a large number of helicopter gunships to strike at the route of the M23's westward advance. At that time, helicopters reported being locked by ground-based fire control radars, but ultimately did not fire. The peacekeepers simply prevented them from crossing the eastern province. β
SAM6, ground-to-air tracking self-guided missile, not to mention helicopters, even fighter jets have a headache. In 95, two US F16 fighters accidentally entered the no-fly zone over Yugoslavia, and because the planes were not equipped with anti-radar missiles, they were both shot down by missile vehicles. In 82, Israel attacked Syria, and the ground forces first cleared the SAM6 missile silos, and the Air Force set off with it. Technological development, now missiles follow the car. And it's still in the jungle so unfortunate camouflage. **The deterrent power of the A6 is considerable for the Air Force. It seems that IS can only use mass mercenary deterrence, plus air cover, to control the situation and open a safe passage by land.
