9-63 Who is the culprit?
War is brutal, especially this kind of attack from the air, although there is no face-to-face fighting, but the destruction is more violent, the lethality is greater, under the powerful fire of heavy aerial bombs and rockets, a minute is enough to blow this grass-roots base into a scorched earth.
Because they did not know how to evade the air raids, many people were killed by machine guns on the open runway, and many more were blown up by bombs, and the ground was littered with fragments of corpses and charred black ruins, and the base that had been painstakingly operated for half a year was in ruins, and it became unsafe here, because the air raids could come again at any time.
The Antonov transport plane was still burning, the fuel in the plane intensified the burning, the black plume of smoke soared into the sky, and it could be seen more than ten kilometers away, the soldiers silently rescued the wounded, picking up what could still be used in the rubble, but after the bombing, there were not many supplies, and more seriously, the 100,000 bullets bought from Listrovsky were also burned.
Alexander, who was covered in dust and smoke, jumped like thunder, Li Jianguo, whose arm was hit by shrapnel, said nothing, sat on the wooden box and let Wang Zhijun bandage his wounds, while Chen Martin, who had survived the catastrophe, looked at the scorched earth in front of him in a daze, and muttered to himself: "Why, why is this?" â
The young Martin Chen couldn't accept this reality, but Liu Ziguang experienced this kind of thing a lot, and he pulled the depressed Martin Chen into the last car that was not destroyed.
"Where?" Martin Chen asked.
"Go to a safe place, I have something to ask you." Liu Ziguang jumped directly into the driver's seat and shouted at Li Jianguo: "I'll leave it to you here." â
Li Jianguo saluted him with his uninjured left hand on the brim of his hat, indicating that he had received the order, and then Liu Ziguang shouted to Dongfang Ke who was shrinking in the corner: "Get in the car, we have something to do." â
Dongfang Ke looked reluctant, but he was helpless, thinking about it, it was safest to follow Liu Ziguang, so he still climbed into the car.
"And you, come with us to find out the real culprit and take revenge." Liu Ziguang shouted at the frustrated Alexander again.
Alexander looked up at him, blinked, suddenly jumped up, picked up two AKM automatic rifles and a few magazines and threw them into the compartment, then opened the door and sat in the passenger seat, pressed excitement and asked: "Shall we go to Angola now to destroy their airport?" â
"Are you sure their airport is in Angola?" Liu Ziguang asked while moving the car.
"I guess."
"Then forget it." As soon as Liu Ziguang stepped on the accelerator, the off-road vehicle rushed out and galloped away in the northwest direction.
As far as the eye can see, Africa has entered the rainy season, the dry riverbeds have turned into wide rivers, the desolate grasslands are lush, and herds of wildebeest and bison watch in the distance, and they will not run en en masse unless danger is imminent.
As the off-road vehicle moved forward, Liu Ziguang asked Chen Martin: "How much money does the government have to use, I mean including the money that the royal family has overseas." â
"Not much." Martin Chen shook his head in confusion and said, "The money of the royal family in overseas banks has been frozen, and His Royal Highness Bobby has no money at all. â
"Then where did he get the money to hire Colonel Faulkner and his army? As far as I know, the price of these people is not low. â
"I don't know." Martin Chen shook his head again, the bombing just now gave him a great stimulus, and his mind is still not very bright.
"How is the relationship between Your Highness and you?" Liu Ziguang asked again.
"We are not familiar with each other, although we are related, the crown prince was dependent on our tribe when he first fled San Juan, but now he has forgotten about us, especially after the arrival of Colonel Faulkner, who even refused to recognize the legitimacy of my army."
Liu Ziguang nodded: "That's it, Bobby is a short-sighted and narrow-minded person, he thinks that your Ximin Liberation Army does not have enough strength and despises you, but when you get a lot of aid, especially after getting a whole plane of weapons and ammunition, you suddenly make a very different decision, not only let the private representative meet you, but also give you the number, but when you arrived at the camp, we were attacked by air, what does this mean?" â
"Do you mean...... Your Highness wants to kill me? A fine bead of sweat oozed from Martin Chen's head, and his tone trembled a little, not because of fear, but out of anger and incomprehension.
"Is there such a possibility, by the way, the representative of His Highness, is there still his secret?"
"His Royal Highness's personal ghostwriter is an Englishman, and his secretary seems to be British, I can't figure it out, anyway, it's a white European, and he is very fluent in English."
"This shows another situation, Bobby is surrounded by foreigners, and he has become a puppet of others, and according to my guess, these people should be sent by a multinational company."
"Why?"
"For the sake of resources, if Western Sadama had no resources, no one would care about any massacres, but after the iron ore is now, things will be different, it is mercenaries and fighter bombing of unknown origin, Martin, you remember, the essence of all wars is for profit, without enough interests, they will not make such a big effort to control Bobby."
Martin Chen's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief, but after thinking about it carefully, what Liu Ziguang said was very reasonable, and he had to believe it.
"So, His Highness betrayed the interests of the country in exchange for the support of international capital, is that so?"
"It's quite possible, but we need to confirm a few things now." After Liu Ziguang finished speaking, he took out the satellite phone and dialed Zhao Hui's number: "Lao Zhao, are you up?" â
"At four o'clock in the morning, did you talk about getting up?" Zhao Hui's roar came from the other side of the phone.
"Okay, I have something to ask you, last time over the Red Sea, . Rīŧ â
"How do you know?" Zhao Hui's voice became serious.
"Well, yesterday afternoon, a jet attacked my transport plane, and this morning, two Tucano fighter planes attacked me and almost killed me, and their livery is the same as the one in the Red Sea, and I think this should be counted on your head." Liu Ziguang said.
"Wait, where are you now, why are they attacking you,. R's people? â
"I'm in Western Sadamoa, and as for their identification, it's exactly what I'm going to entrust you with, and with your energy, you should be able to find satellite photos. R's air base, the numbers of those two fighters are 37 and 45, I think you can see it clearly in the satellite photos. â
Zhao Hui shouted angrily: "Dude, you think too highly of me, I'm not a chief of staff, I can see anything, don't look for me about this." â
Liu Ziguang said: "I'm still looking for you, the seller you introduced to me, I went to buy a plane of munitions, and when I flew back, I almost beat down the jet, and finally got to the place and was bombed again, killing dozens of people, can you swallow this breath?" â
Zhao Hui was silent for a while and said: "I really don't have the ability to access the photos of spy satellites, the procedures on the side of the General Staff are very strict, but I can help you investigate in other ways, in addition to this matter, is there anything else you need help with?" â
"Yes, I need Bobby's address in the UK, as well as security details."
"Dude, do I call you brother? You really treat me as a jack of all trades, if it's in Hong Kong, Bangkok, Taipei, even Tokyo, I can do things for you beautifully, you have a mouth for London, am I someone who knows mI5 or someone who knows Scotland Yard? â
Liu Ziguang still said the same thing: "I don't care, in short, you have to give me information as soon as possible." â
"Okay, okay, I'll find a private detective to help you check the general line, brother, is there anything else?"
"Yes, lend me your team of four, and I will pay the wages."
"Cheng, as long as you instruct them, anyway, I promised them to retire this month, brother, is there anything else?"
"That's all for now, I'll call you when I think about it." After Liu Ziguang finished speaking, he hung up the phone and said to Dongfang Ke: "I'll talk to Alexander for a while, and you translate." â
"Okay." Dongfang Ke, who was enjoying the scenery of the African grassland, immediately cheered up.
"If someone hits you with a stick, do you take revenge on that person, or do you take revenge on that stick?" Liu Ziguang asked.
Alexander was confused: "Of course I kicked that guy in the ass." â
"That's right. . . R is the stick that hits us, it's an organization, not a specific person, its decisions come from the top of the company and the board of directors, not a single person, those fighter pilots are just soldiers who do what they are told, if we rush to Angola and blow up all their planes, I believe that the next day they will replenish more planes. Retaliation is an unwise move, and we should find out who is behind the scenes and point the finger at this person. â
After listening to Dongfang Ke's translation, Alexander couldn't help nodding. Liu Ziguang continued: "Now that I have analyzed who is behind the attack on us, do you want to kick his ass?" â
"Of course."
"But this man is in London, and he has a lot of power. R works hard for him, so we can't kick his ass for the time being, but we can do something that makes him disgusting, would you like to help me do it? â
"Of course."
"Very well, from now on, we are comrades-in-arms, Alexander." Liu Ziguang stretched out his hand to him.
"Call me Sasha." Alexander shook hands with Liu Ziguang, remembered something again, and said worriedly: "The plane is over, I haven't told the boss yet." â
"Then tell him now." Liu Ziguang handed over the satellite phone.
Alexander spoke into the phone for five minutes, then put down the phone and shrugged his shoulders and said, "The boss said, from now on, you give me a salary." â
"Deal." Liu Ziguang stretched out his hand again and high-fived Sasha in alliance.
The off-road vehicle entered the dense forest road and drove along the river towards the sea.
