Chapter 47: Special Attack (Plus to Hongo)
In the darkness of the night, a Chinook transport plane took off from the temporary military base in Kaiwo, escaped into the night, turned off the aviation lights, practiced radio silence, and flew quickly to the southeast.
In the spacious cabin, Deputy Lieutenant Derick walked back and forth, making any final important reminders in a stilted voice.
"Guys, the target of our mission is Migre, the most remote town in the southeast of White Nile State. According to credible sources, the regional leader of White Nile, Target No. 1, Hawal, lives with his family in a house outside the town. And our goal is to kill him. ”
The eight Navy SEALs in the cabin were indifferent, touching their faces with oil paint and sorting out their equipment.
Half an hour later, Derek received confirmation that the transport plane had arrived at the booked location.
"Ready."
Drake buckled his helmet and pulled the hatch open.
The cold wind in the air was whistling into the cabin, the ears were full of whistling sounds, the clouds were thick, the visual environment was not high, and the risk of skydiving was extremely high.
However, the SEALs opted for a more dangerous way, gliding suits.
This area is still under the control of the rebels, and the coalition forces cannot be sure whether the White Nile rebels are supported by Yang Tian's weapons, have surveillance radars or other means, and take high-altitude parachuting to ensure safety.
"May the Lord bless you." Derek turned around, grinned, and rushed out of the cabin first.
High in the air, nine black dots leap out of the cabin and fall to the ground at high speed.
"Spread your wings, adjust your formation, seventeen kilometers ahead of the target, estimated arrival time, two minutes." In the eyepiece, Derick calmly gave an order with the help of the data fed back from the holographic helmet.
The nine men spread their arms, spread their legs, and formed a triangular formation, cutting through the clouds and gliding quickly towards the southeast.
Flying at an altitude of 1,000 meters with the help of a small glider suit is not an ordinary thrill and danger.
But for the nine poster commandos, this was just a trivial, and several of them even joked in the communication channel.
Two minutes later, with the help of geo-coordinate positioning, Drake accurately pulled the parachute.
Nine black clouds, inconspicuous in the night, slowly drifted down on the vast grassland outside the town of Migre.
Five hundred meters ahead, a pitch-black mansion also appeared in Derek's night vision goggles.
Nine people quickly put away their parachutes, gathered together, matched the time, divided into two groups, and disappeared into the night.
Ten minutes later, a slight sound of fire rang out from the distant house, but no loud gunfire came out, and all the guards in the house were killed by the assassination of the poster commandos.
And the main target, the head of the political axe in the White Nile region, the number one person, Hawal, was killed in his own bed.
……
"On March 8, after the capture of Kusti, the considerable casualties and losses still prompted the coalition forces to put down their plans to continue the offensive, and after a short period of repair, the coalition forces carried out a number of decapitation operations, sending elite special forces, deep into the enemy-occupied areas, with the main purpose of assassinating and attacking the leaders of the rebel army and important military targets."
"According to statistics, from March 10 to March 15, during the five-day operation, the main head of the rebel army, Governor Hawal, the deputy governor, the finance minister, and other five senior officials were killed, and the two main arsenals of the rebel army were also blown up."
"And the casualties paid by the coalition forces are only zero!"
"It is reported that the coalition forces will launch a new round of military operations in the near future, cooperate with the political axe army of the North Soviet Union, and capture the last three towns in White Nile State."
"In a leaderless state, the future of the rebels is in doubt."
Kaduli, Yang Tian, who was conducting research at the production base, also received the latest situation in White Nile State.
"White Nile is not going to work." After reading the summary information sent by various channels, Yang Tian couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Kai, who had taken the time to rush over, asked in surprise: "Didn't you say before that the coalition forces would be caught in the quagmire of the people's war and would suffer heavy losses?" ”
Yang Tian pointed to the newspaper and said: "That was the original, I didn't expect the coalition forces to really dare to play this hand, special operations." I dare to say that in the next stage of the battle, the coalition forces will definitely use the North Soviet Union as the main force, and use the North Soviet political axe army as cannon fodder, and they will play long-range bombing or something in the back. ”
The casualties prompted a change in the coalition's combat strategy.
Precision strikes are special operations that attack and kill important targets of the opponent, and then cooperate with long-range strikes to achieve zero casualties as much as possible.
It can be said that the coalition forces have changed their tactics from the very beginning of the active offensive to the passive offensive now, adopting a more conservative strategy.
This change in strategy is also good news for Yang Tian.
It can be seen that the coalition forces have also gradually understood that full participation in the civil war in the North Soviet Union will pay losses that they cannot afford.
After all, this is a war of other countries, and the political axes of various countries cannot but consider their domestic influences.
And what followed was huge military spending.
If the political axe of the United States is asked to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to fight a war that does not belong to them, I am afraid that Congress will have to weigh it twice.
But the bad news for Yang Tian is that the outcome of the war may not be satisfactory.
Originally, Yang Tian's goal was to make the coalition retreat, leaving a mess so that he could come forward to clean up the mess.
But now it seems that the strength of the coalition force is still beyond Yang Tian's expectations.
The war could end up with a coalition victory, a new North Soviet political axe, and years of military rule, as in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Even, the United States can build a new military base in North Africa, send a large number of troops, and gradually suppress Yang Tian's development.
You must know that from the very beginning, the United States and other countries promoted this war not to help the political axe of the North Soviet Union clean up the civil strife.
Unlike the Iraq War, it was an oil war.
In the civil war in the Northern Soviet Union, the main purpose of the United States and other countries was to contain the development of Yang Tian.
If a military force with nuclear weapons develops, it will change the world pattern too dramatically.
Now Yang Tian has received a large amount of aid from Huaguo, but the countries will definitely not dare to move the behemoth of Huaguo, so they can only take the edge and contain Yang Tian from other aspects.
The best way to end the civil war in the North and the Soviet Union and to support a new political axe is the best way.
Because Abye is already an inland area and is not near the sea, there is little room for development, and it controls the North Soviet Union and cuts off Abyeh's external connections.
And the South Soviet Union, which is a reading country, its policies can change at any time, and China may also change its strategy at any time for the sake of interests.
When the siege on all sides was finally formed, Yang Tian would fall sooner or later.
This is boiling a frog in warm water, cutting meat with a blunt knife, even if Yang Tian sees through this strategy, there is no solution.
If you want to break the game, you must not pin all your hopes on Huaguo, Mi Guo is a tiger and a lion, then Huaguo is a hunter, and he can play a good hand to drive away the wolf, and the ultimate goal is to play Yang Tian to death.
In Yang Tian's view, there may be only one solution, to make the coalition pay a heavy price and retreat.
But how difficult it is.
NATO, the most powerful military bloc in the world, let them retreat in the face of difficulties, it is undoubtedly a dream.
Rhythmically tapping his knuckles on the tabletop, Yang Tian fell into deep thought.
It seems that Kaduli is growing rapidly and prosperous, but the future is dark.
"By the way, Yang Zi, there is one more thing I just remembered, the reporter of Time Magazine, well, seems to be called Mandy. Bowen said he wanted to meet you, probably because you told her last time about helping us run a newspaper. Zhou Kai interjected abruptly.
Yang Tian was stunned for a moment, his brows tightened, he stretched again, and suddenly slapped the table, his eyes lit up.
"Yes, it's the media!" Yang Tian shouted in surprise.
Zhou Kai was taken aback by Yang Tian, and asked angrily: "What media, what are you doing in a daze." ”
Yang Tian came back to his senses, laughed, and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of a way to deal with it." ”
Zhou Kai's words immediately reminded Yang Tian that in addition to the means of war, there are still a lot of means to play.
If you can't play with military means, then play with political means.
Originally, Yang Tian blindly thought about how to make the coalition forces pay a heavy price on the battlefield, so he knew that it was difficult to retreat, and unknowingly drilled the tip of the bull's horns.
In essence, aside from the means of war, there are many more that can be used.
There are many ways to influence public opinion, control politics, and want to get the coalition forces to retreat.
"Where is Traust now?" Yang Tian thought about it for a moment and remembered someone.
Zhou Kai hadn't kept up with Yang Tian's train of thought, frowned and thought about it, and said, "It should still be in Europe, now we mainly rely on Huaguo's assistance, and there are fewer places to use him." ”
Yang Tian nodded and said, "You contact him as soon as possible and let him go to the United States, I have some things for him to do." ”
Zhou Kai wanted to ask what was the matter, but he still gave up, nodded and said, "I'll contact him when I go back." ”
"Also, White Nile is not good, fully support Mudaresi, Wolf attack vehicles, radars, anti-aircraft guns, all to him, you send someone to negotiate, the price is negotiable, if they don't have money, they can send it for free." Yang Tian instructed again.
Zhou Kaiwei screamed, and his flesh hurt again: "Free delivery, Yang Zi, you have a fever." ”
Yang Tian waved his hand away and slapped Zhou Kai's hand, and said angrily: "You just have a fever, hurry up and arrange, I estimate that it won't be long before the coalition forces may make a move on Mudaresi." By the way, remind this old fellow, be careful, don't let the seals assassinate again. ”
The seal's precise strike was indeed a big trouble, and Yang Tian could only hope that Mudaresi would be more fatal.
……
For Yang Tian's arrangement, Trauster was still very dedicated, and on March 16, he received Yang Tian's instructions and ran to the United States the next day.
New York, a café in Manhattan, Traust and others came to meet him.
Miller, the editor-in-chief of the New York Times, is a guy in his forties who doesn't smile.
Although in the eyes of the outside world, Miller is a strict and upright person, but Traust asked a private investigator to investigate, and only then did he lock this guy as a target.
Since then, the fund in which Miller has invested has failed, is in deep financial crisis, and is very short of money.
As long as you lack money, it's easy to do.
Gently pushing a bag of documents in front of Miller, Traust said: "There is a press release here, I hope it can be published in this week's weekly edition, of course, it needs to be placed in a conspicuous and important position, how to do it, I think you know better than I do." ”
Miller didn't read the press release, just frowned slightly, and said, "Lauste, right?" If you want to publish a press release, you can contact our editorial office, there will be a special person in charge, review, if it passes, you can naturally publish it in the newspaper, I don't think you need to ask me to come out to meet. ”
Traust also seemed to have expected Miller to say this, and said: "Of course, there are some special reasons, so I will say it bluntly, 100,000 dollars, to help me publish this report." ”
Miller was stunned, but the next moment he looked as if he had been humiliated, and got up to leave.
"Five hundred thousand!" Traust didn't move, and another number was reported.
Miller paused, did not leave, looked at Traust with an angry and smiling expression, and opened his mouth to say something.
"A million!" Traust spoke first, interrupting Miller.
Miller stopped talking, looked at Traust quietly, and even heard the sound of his own pounding heartbeat.
Settled, and Miller sat back down.
"I ...... I'm going to read this ......" Miller nervously picked up his file bag.
Traust took out a check from his bosom, quickly filled in the numbers, slapped it in front of Miller, and said, "Cash check." ”
Looking at the close check, Miller swallowed hard and nodded slightly. (To be continued.) )
