Chapter 7: Mission Briefing
Tang Shuxing said that he considered it, but in fact, let them consider it on the spot, rather than returning to the station.
Rum was very anxious, because they were exposed, they didn't expect Shang Du to lay spies like a net, and the spies dug them all out, fortunately, the spies didn't tell Burns, if they did, Burns would inevitably kill 10 of them, after all, in Burns's rabble, there are 10 former SEAL soldiers, which is a terrible thing, because they can replace Burns at any time.
In Tang Shuxing's words, he also threatened Rum and the military blanket, and it was they who fell into passivity, if they left Somalia now, 10 people fled, it was not impossible, but how far could they escape? Escaping from Somalia is next to the harsher environment of Astaya, which is full of walking corpses, zombies, zombies, and all kinds of mutated monsters, even if they are seals, they are usually trained for armed personnel, not these monsters, so it is still a dead end.
After a long struggle of ideas, Rum asked, "What can you give us?" ”
"Let's put it this way, now our goal is to deal with Reinhardt, who has now fled to the underground Shandu, and has been sealed by us, and cannot get out. As long as the tyrant Reinhardt is dead, the reconstruction plan of Shandu will be restarted, and then we hope to end the long-standing war and bring together all forces, including the Resistance, to establish a true Federation Republic of Earth. After Tang Shuxing finished speaking, he added, "Of course." These are just assumptions. ”
Rum shook his head: "We are soldiers, we don't know so much, we don't want to get in touch with politics." ”
"Isn't it ridiculous to say it? Isn't what you have done before rigged by politicians? The army does not belong to the government? Isn't the government full of politicians? Tang Shuxing shook his head, "What kind of rhetoric about the separation of military and political affairs is farting, you should know better than me, the SEALs are not all just missions, there are also black operations, the special forces of every country in the world are like this, no one is innocent." ”
Rum said, "So, do we have to do it?" ”
"Nope. You have a choice. I did. You can not do it, you can also overthrow Burns and set yourself up as king, it doesn't matter, you will bear the consequences. Merely. If we carry out our actions this time. None of the consequences are yours, so to speak, in a sense. You are mercenaries, and I hired you. After speaking, Tang Shuxing looked at the direction of the airport and said, "I will wait for you on the plane, our people will select the commando team, the plan is very simple, we pretend to select 20 people under Burns, you can take your people to volunteer." ”
Jun Blanket immediately said: "Burns is not stupid, he will notice after we volunteer." ”
Tang Shuxing shook his head: "By that time, it will be too late, unless he has the courage to dare to confront us head-on, but, believe me, he won't, he is afraid of death, everyone is afraid of death." ”
Saying that, Tang Shuxing left, and after going to the airport, he appeared directly in the residence where Burns lived, at that time Burns was borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and entertained Tian Longting with the food and wine brought by Tian Longting, when he saw Tang Shuxing appear, even if he hadn't seen him before, he knew who he was, before that, he repeatedly asked Tang Shuxing to eat together, but Tian Longting just prevaricated on the grounds of "he is a general, I can't control him".
Tang Shuxing walked towards Burns with a smile, and after walking in front of him, he suddenly activated the state of corpse, which startled Burns a lot, and the soldiers next to him immediately raised the weapons in their hands, while Tian Longting continued to eat and drink there.
Tang Shuxing stared at Burns for about ten seconds before he was relieved, and then sat down and lit a cigarette: "General, I know what you're thinking, you think it's easy for these people under you to deal with the people we brought, right?" But you're wrong, the 10 soldiers I brought under my command are all high-intensity corpses, and it's not a problem to beat 10 of you at a time, and I, don't need to be so troublesome, if something bad happens, I will be the first to deal with you, so, I hope you cooperate and don't think too much about things. ”
Burns knew that he had no chance of winning, so he sat down quietly and asked kindly, "I will pick out the 20 people you need, and do your best." ”
"No, I'm going to pick and choose, because I'm in command." Tang Shuxing put down his cigarette, "You have to be clear, if this action does not go well, it is everyone who suffers, and everyone will die, if you cooperate, you can choose to follow us back to Shangdu to participate in the construction, or stay here to be your soil emperor, of course, you are only a few hundred people under the emperor, and the poor hundreds of people can almost be said to be waiting for death." ”
Burns shook his head: "General Tang, do you know how many resistance forces there are on the African continent now?" How many are there in the world? As far as I know, at least hundreds, large and small add up to at least thousands, are you still going to blackmail them into negotiating one by one to get them to join? If it can't be done, the war will continue. ”
Tang Shuxing said coldly: "You are mistaken, now we are not asking for resistance organizations, but seeking mutual cooperation, this kind of cooperation will be beneficial to everyone in the future, the large warlords have ceased fire, we are funding them, and provide the corresponding technology, the survival technology in the harsh environment is the best in the world today, and it is also the only country that continues to develop, and other organizations do not have this kind of technology, we belong to interdependence, we provide technology, they provide peace, as long as the big warlords cease fire, What will the little warlord do? They will also cease fire, they are not stupid, if they attack the big warlords, they will help the big warlords to kill them, get rid of them one by one, do you think it was the situation a few decades ago? Can small armed forces hide in the mountains and fight guerrillas? What are you kidding, if you go in and die, there's nothing there, and you'll die sadly if you get a cold, that's the truth. ”
Burns was silent for a long time before he said, "Then, if I am obedient, what position will you assign to me?" ”
"You can no longer lead the armed forces, we will give you business to do. Let you do engineering, we investigated, you used to be an engineer, sit back to your old job, it's good. Tang Shuxing said with a smile, and Tian Longting also wiped his mouth and stood up.
Tian Longting walked up to Burns and sat down: "Your people, they don't want to take guns, they just want to live a peaceful life, and soon, we will have a plane here." The one who picked you up. We'll take pictures of them all during this process and hope you and your people keep smiling all the time, like that. This video went viral. Other warlords will know. We are not lying, in other words, you are an important player in the peace process. Maybe your name will be written in the history books of the future, and people will make statues of you in your honor. ”
After speaking, Tian Longting and Tang Shuxing glanced at each other, left the house and returned to the plane.
When they were gone, Burns sat down and drank the wine from his glass, and said to himself, "I just want to live, I don't want to go down in history, I'm just an engineer who was forced to carry a gun." ”
In the early morning of the next day, Tang Shuxing waited at the airport with his 10-member commando, but after waiting for a day, Rum and they did not show up, and it was not until the evening when Tang Shuxing's patience was about to run out that Rum appeared from the woods with his team, and when he saw this group of people, Tang Shuxing was like seeing the legendary beggar gang.
This group of people didn't even have daggers, and they stood in front of Tang Shuxing in rags, and he could hardly believe that this group of elderly guys was the most elite Navy SEAL in the past.
Rum crossed his waist and stood in front of him and said, "I came, and the reason I waited all day was because my people needed rest, and our operation had to be carried out at night, wouldn't it?" ”
"Don't make excuses, you're just trying to test if I really need you, that's all." Tang Shuxing frowned and said, "Flying from here to that nameless island, plus the time to detour, at least three and a half hours, you still need physical recovery training, even if you are elite, it will take two days, that is to say, the action time is set for the night after tomorrow, and we will set off after 9 o'clock." ”
After saying that, Tang Shuxing returned to the plane and asked someone to carry down the weapons and equipment, hand them over to Rum and his people, let them conduct rehabilitation training near the airport, and at the same time familiarize themselves with the weapons and equipment, and let them recover their normal body and energy within two days, after all, even if they stay in this ghost place, even if they are immortals, they will be malnourished.
Two days later, at eight o'clock in the evening, the 20-man assault team was fully assembled and waited for a briefing in the transport plane.
Tang Shuxing projected the intelligence to the side, pointed to the floor plan, and said: "This nameless island, which was named 'Yuka' more than ten years ago, means 'beautiful island', the entire island is less than five square kilometers, and at the pier on the west side of the island, a former British Astute-class attack nuclear submarine is docked, which is one of our targets, and this goal is carried out by the Navy SEALs." ”
Leaning on the side, Rum asked, "What is the purpose of the mission?" Blow up the submarine or? ”
"That's a nuclear submarine, it can't be blown up." Tang Shuxing shook his head and said, "Clear all the resistance in the submarine, and then you stick to the place and wait for us, your task is like this, and my task is to capture James alive, I will take my people to sneak in from the south of the island, and after reaching the predetermined range, you will launch an assault." ”
Rum nodded: "Understood, let James think that our target is a submarine, and when we start, the target of the army on the island will be concentrated in the direction of the submarine, and you can easily capture James." ”
"It won't be easy." Tang Shuxing pointed around the island and said, "There are six air defense posts on this island, equipped with SAM-type surface-to-air missiles, so we can only parachute into the sea and use assault boats to dock, and you are the same, and then we need to bypass all the sentry posts and go to James's residence, once you start, two-thirds of the soldiers on the island will definitely be concentrated in the submarine position, and one-third will stay to protect James, there are a total of about 300 soldiers on the island, this is just a rough calculation, maybe more." ”
Jun Blanket shook his head: "Three hundred against twenty, only one of our support will be shot down by missiles if we get close to the C-130 armed gunboat, isn't this dead?" Undoubtedly suicidal. ”
"Listen, I didn't mean to send you to death." Tang Shu said, "Your people only need to attract attention, and when their attention is focused on the submarine, you can retreat." ”
Rum said coldly: "Where to retreat?" Can a transport plane descend on the sea to pick us up? ”
Tang Shuxing was silent, just looked at Rum, and then left the cabin. (To be continued......)
