Chapter 174: Raid on the Oil Well (01)
Moshadine is one of the richest countries in the Middle East, and of course, because of its oil resources, there doesn't seem to be a poor country in the region.
Despite the country's small size, its economy is among the best in the region, and it is certainly much easier to make money in a country that can pump oil from a water pipe.
"Heaven is fair, and being able to extract the world's most important energy source in such a barren place can be regarded as a kind of care for them!" Heavy Punch said as he looked at the city built in the desert.
"This water is more expensive than oil, and most of the water they use is obtained by boiling seawater with water and oil for distillation and desalination, and burning oil for water is probably only in such countries." Worm said as he looked at the oil well towering in the distance.
"The tenacious race has seen such a powerful country in the region in this barren land, and if it weren't for the small size of the country, they would definitely not have become a regional power.
Now the oil resources are getting less and less, in this case, the country's oil reserves are still rich, and the superiority of the people here will be higher and higher, but this oil can't be burned for decades, and the oil that can be proven should be burned for 100 years, once the oil in the ground is lightened, I really don't know how they should live. "Heavy punches feel that the future of the country is worrisome.
"That's dozens or hundreds of years later, what's the use of thinking that far? At least this generation has enjoyed a luxurious life, and as for the problems of future generations, leave it to future generations to solve, how many people can live to be 100 years old? How many people can see the descendants of their grandchildren beyond three generations? It's not that there are four generations in the same house, it's really pitiful, and the vast majority of people can't see it, so at most there is a blood relationship, as for the feelings for the juniors, that's it! There's no need to worry about them. "It's as if the ghost is looking at everything.
"That's why the vast majority of people only care about the present, and don't care about environmental pollution, because no matter how much they harm themselves, they can't be greedy for retribution." Worm is one of the few who agrees with the ghost's view.
"The target's oil well is located in the middle of nowhere, and it needs to be at least two hours away, so you can guarantee that they can deliver the equipment to the place we request?" The ghost asked with some unease, and although the CIA agreed to provide them with the equipment they needed for the operation, he still felt uneasy until he got the equipment.
"If they can't even do this, they dare to call themselves the world's number one intelligence agency?" Worms don't think there's anything to worry about.
"I haven't worked with them, I don't know their form, but hopefully they can get what we need, and don't make a bunch of to deal with us." The ghost said as he drove the car.
"Look at you, let them prepare things, and worry that things won't work, what do you want?" Heavy punch felt that the ghost was a bit hypocritical.
"I just can't trust them, and I don't want them to be too comfortable, I have to find something for them to do, this is cooperation, they should meet some of our reasonable requirements, providing equipment should not be a big deal for them, we have to let them contribute to our operation, right? In the previous paragraph, we ran all over the world with the lost dogs, and now we have to compensate for it. "The ghost is speaking his mind.
"You want me to see it...... You're just careful. "Worm is a very accurate assessment of the ghost's current state of mind.
In a desert more than a dozen kilometers away from the target area, they finally saw the CIA's equipment delivery vehicles, two desert off-road vehicles to be exact, and after meeting and making the simplest handover, the two agents left one vehicle and left.
"Are we poisonous? In such a hurry? The ghost was quite unhappy with the indifference of the two men.
"Who wants to stay in a place like this?" The insects shaded the sun with their hands and looked at the desolate desert, the surface temperature was close to 50 degrees Celsius, and the hot wind on the face did not feel good.
"Look what it brings us." The ghost immediately went to the trunk of the SUV, the body was too hot to start, and he opened the trunk with his clothes pads, revealing the equipment inside.
Desert combat suits, individual temperature control systems, long and short guns, and necessary supplies are all available.
"It's okay, it's not a slam." The ghost was pleased with the equipment, and he pulled out a revolver-type grenade launcher, "It's just that there are fewer ammos in reserve, and everything else is fine." ”
"This is just a private oil well, and the defense force is only about 20 people, so what is there to worry about, is it possible that you want them to send a tank over." Worm picked up the equipment he needed from it, picked up a cooling vest and put it on his body, "It's much more comfortable to have this thing." ”
"It's old...... The paint is all gone. The ghost picked up an M4A1 and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm going to have to get a few SCARs, this thing ......"
"People provide it for free, make do with it!" Heavy punch picked up a skillful inspection, "The rifling is clear, the wear is not serious, but it is a little dirty, and it has to be wiped again......"
"Fuck, Glock 19, fucking like a toy, can't you get some big bore ones?" The ghost began to pick and choose these things, the Glock 19 was a smaller version of the 17, it was easy to carry, and the spies preferred it, and for people like them who were used to using large-caliber pistols, this thing really didn't work so well, for them the USP and Mk23 were the best options.
"So-so, more than enough self-defense, not enough attack." Worm picked one out and skillfully dismantled and cleaned it up, "They are agents, not special forces, they must think differently from you, no matter what?" This is also fully prepared, people even have Huya D80 prepared, what do you want? ”
"This thing is not bad, the serrations are easy to get stuck in the ribs, it is better to use a triangular thorn." The ghost pouted and said a little raised.
"The preparation of this batch of equipment is decent, and it is quite kind, but it can barely be said in the past, be content!" Heavy punches are not as picky as he is.
The ghost shook his head, and stopped talking nonsense, pulling out a KSG shotgun from under the pile of equipment and inserting it into the side of the backpack, he liked this high-capacity shotgun very much, as a melee and door-breaking weapon, this thing can be very useful in critical moments.
"That's enough stuff to equip a squad." Worm pulled out an MP7 submachine gun and fastened it to the side of his leg with a special holster to use as a melee defense weapon.
"It's a toy." The ghost is very disdainful of this miniature submachine gun.
"Enough as a pit stop defense." Worm said as he rearranged his gear pack.
"This night vision device is an old model, they really pick the door, can't they provide a few new ones?" The ghost took the night vision device on his head and tried it, feeling awkward.
"How can I give you the best stuff? Maybe it's because I'm afraid you'll steal the technology. "Heavy punches put the packed equipment bag back on the back of the car they were driving, and got into the car with only the gun and the necessary ammunition," said "Hurry up." ”
The ghost pouted: "It's just a broken night vision device, what technology is there, it's not that we can't build it, or even better than them, do you think this is the era of technological blockade 20 years ago?" Now they have a lot to learn from us. ”
"Let's go, we have to do the preliminary investigation first, and then start at night, hoping to find out the general situation before then." Punched the car door to urge the two of them.
"It would be nice if there was really a 'Clock Tower' left here, at least we could find something, and maybe we could find a direct connection between the Bain Group and the 'Clock Tower'." The ghost got into the car, "It's not in vain that we came so far to toss." ”
"If you want me to say, you still don't have any hopes, just follow the clues, how can this thing be accurate, if the 'clock tower' is so easy to check, we won't still be able to figure out what it is." Worm has always maintained a relatively normal mentality, and she knows very well that some things are not rushed.
"Our mission this time is aimed at the management, the most suspicious is the person in charge of the oil well and their security forces, since it is determined that this is the 'middle tower' industry, it can be directly destroyed, but we must try our best to avoid harming innocents, we are not terrorists, all our actions must be targeted." "From an overall strategic point of view, this is the first step we have taken against the 'Clock Tower', and we hope to cause a ripple effect and play a necessary role. ”
The location of the well is not remote, but because the desolation of the desert does seem to be far away from the bustle, the contrast between modern oil extraction equipment and the desolate desert is stark, and it looks like a pimple on a desert from a distance, which seems a little abrupt.
The level of security in the area is not high, after all, it is a relatively stable country, although the guards are equipped with guns, but the security awareness is limited to dealing with non-war emergencies, but compared to other oil wells, the level of security here is quite high, from this point of view, it is indeed a bit abnormal.
After arriving near the well, they parked their cars in a safe place, and then split up to conduct long-distance reconnaissance of the well's perimeter, and the worms also released drones to understand the situation of the entire oil well from the air, and observe the details inside to the greatest extent.
"Maybe there's something unsightly hidden in here, otherwise it wouldn't have sent so many guards, just an oil well, as for it?" The ghost has always felt that this place is not simple.
"It's really profitable to get the oil out of the country and then it's shipped directly to the refineries in neighboring countries, but why should they ship it to the refineries in neighboring countries? Why not process it in your home country? Worm said thoughtfully.
"Sometimes some seemingly incomprehensible behaviors are actually just because of a paper contract, which is not as complicated as imagined, don't be so conspiracy theories." Heavy punches think it's better not to guess until you find something suspicious, it's a waste of brain cells.
"But the level of security is really not normal, and the number of guards is twice as large as in other oil wells." From the images sent back by the drone, the worm stared at the guards patrolling with guns, "These are not ordinary security personnel, and they can be seen from their behavior and experience in actual combat." ”
"It's kind of interesting, I don't like to deal with rookies." The ghost was even more excited than before.
"Don't you forget that there are only three of us, and they have an absolute advantage, how excited are you?" Heavy punch felt that the ghost was starting to go crazy again.
"Judging from the current situation, it is not certain that these people are the mercenaries of the Bain Group, and even if there is a connection between the two, it may be hidden deep and will not be too easy to find." Worm continued.
"Be sure to stay alive with the leader, he may know more." Heavy punch said.
"It's not hard to ......," the ghost looked at the front of the oil well with a telescope on the other side of the sand dune, "this patrol route and time interval are typical of the habits of the army, and these guys are lazy enough to just copy it." ”
"There is a lookout post at the highest point, you should be careful to be discovered." Heavy punch reminded him.
"See, that guy isn't very competent, he sat there for at least ten minutes without moving, and he didn't hide." The ghost pointed the telescope at the highest point of the building, where the sentry was leaning against it and smoking a cigarette and looking bored.
"This kind of place is relatively safe, after all, there is no internal instability in the country, and these security personnel may not have encountered any emergencies for a long time, and slackness is inevitable." "However, these people are doing their duty and strictly enforcing the warning clauses, and we need to be careful not to underestimate the enemy too much." ”
"It's a good route to go in from the southwest and out from the north." "The shortest and safest journey is the shortest," the ghost suggested. ”
After a few hours of peripheral reconnaissance, the three of them gathered together again, the night reconnaissance had not yet begun, they discussed it for a while, briefly ate something and hurriedly separated, until more than one o'clock in the morning to complete the night reconnaissance, the specific situation of the oil well, the guard division, the changing of the guard and the patrol time, and the route were all known, and then began to make preparations before the operation.
"Although this place is not big, we also split up and act, the worm goes to the office to get information, it is best to bring out all the computer hard drives, it should not be difficult at night" and then said to the ghost again, "You go to the guardhouse to get their heads, you want to live, I will arrest the person in charge of the factory." "Act quickly, avoid head-on confrontation, our purpose is not to fight with them, to destroy the mining equipment as much as possible on the premise of accomplishing the primary purpose, remember, to avoid injuring innocent people." ”
"It's a 24-hour non-stop mining area, and there are people working at night, so it doesn't seem easy to hurt the innocent." The ghost said.
Heavy punch said very resolutely: "That's not good, this opening can't be opened, we are not terrorists, try to use directional blasting, destroying equipment is not equal to blowing up all, this is the time to test the accuracy of your directional blasting technology, at least to ensure that this place can not resume normal mining within a month or two, if necessary, you can seal the wellhead, try to destroy the equipment to the greatest extent, in short, according to the specific situation to decide on your own, this task is indeed a bit difficult to accept, but if it is an ordinary task, There's no need for us to do it. ”
