Chapter 41 Decisions
"Don't rush yet, but." Donovan interrupted, "You have to tell me first, are these two towns that we're going to pass through?" ”
"Yes. Yes. are two towns northwest of Saada. "This Yemeni humane.
"Are there armed men here?" Donovan continued.
"Yes. In fact, it is difficult to find a place in the region that does not have the presence of these armed groups. But there are not many people in these places, and there are generally only a dozen or so people equipped with weapons. The Yemeni said.
"That means they don't pose much of a threat, do they?" Donovan continued.
The man nodded and said, "Yes." One more point. We are not as good as yours here, and we do not have such a developed means of communication. It's hard to react immediately in these more remote places after something suddenly happens. As we pass through there, most of the people here will be busy going about their business as usual. So don't worry too much. What really needs to be noted is here in this mosque. ”
"What's wrong with this mosque? Is this a stronghold? Donovan asked.
"Yes." The Yemeni nodded: "There will be some armed men here, just like Artah." If Artah reacts, most of these people here will react as well. They may rush there, or they may be vigilant and prepared to stay here. So we have to be extra careful when we come here. ”
"Can't you get around here? Continue around here. Donovan said.
"If it's just going around, it's okay. But then the road is even more difficult. And you have to go into deserts and hills. It's going to be very difficult to get around, and it's going to give them plenty of time to contain us. And if a containment is formed, the consequences will be unimaginable. "This Yemeni humane.
"Okay... Donovan said, "So are there any other ways to detour?" You can't just have one alternate route, right? ”
Hearing Donovan say this, the Yemeni man looked up at his superior, the man named Said Amari, and then nodded at the other side before saying, "The other way is to take the east side of the road we evacuated." Bypass Artah, but the road is more difficult. And there are more small armed forces that are messy on this side. In the event of a fight, these people are likely to flock to it. That's when we're going to be in big trouble too. ”
Donovan looked at the route repeatedly and said, "Where are we going?" Where are the people in Saudi Arabia to pick us up? ”
Without waiting for the Yemeni to speak, Meghan said: "The Saudi side means that we are going to get to Bachim." They will be waiting for us at this place. ”
"Here." The Yemeni immediately moved north on the map and stopped at a border point near Saudi Arabia, "Here. This is Bachim. ”
"So far?" Morris and Ochoa said in unison when they saw the locations marked on the map.
Pete didn't speak, but he made eye contact with Donovan. Donovan said, "Can they only go here?" ”
"That's how the discussion turned out now." Meghan said: "The Saudi side is reluctant to go deeper. As he spoke, he looked at Said Amari and said, "Of course, you don't want them to move too much, do you?" ”
Sayyid Amari did not answer directly, but said, "Our people will always be with you in Salem and Useford." Another operation in Saada will continue to be offensive against the forces there after it has been successful. So I don't think you need to worry too much. In addition, as long as the Saudi side gives enough support in the air, it will be difficult for these people to cause you too much trouble in that area. ”
"I hope so." Donovan said a word and then looked at Meghan and said, "I still hope they can come forward a little bit, at least be more flexible then, and don't wait for us to cross the line like the finish line." ”
"I know that. I'll coordinate with them. Megan said.
Donovan nodded and sighed: "So are we going to use Kalashnikov's guns?" ”
"It's all ready." This Yemeni human: "AK-47 rifle." You'd better not bring your guns there. The first is too conspicuous, and the second is that ammunition is also difficult to resupply. So the AK-47 is the best option. ”
"Prepare a few more for us." Donovan said: "And the magazine, I have to look at it first." As he spoke, he looked at Pete and said, "You know the quality of those things here." ”
Pete smiled and didn't speak, and the Yemenis seemed to know what Donovan was referring to, only to see Said Amari say, "It's not a problem. You can check it out right away. But hurry up, because we're going to leave soon. ”
"Okay." Donovan stood up, pointed to the map, and said, "Can you give us this?" ”
"Of course." The Yemeni who had been briefing Team 009 immediately cleaned up and handed them to Donovan, including the photos.
While Pete took these things, Donovan said, "I don't know what your name is." ”
"I'm Salem." The Yemeni man said and pointed to another man who had been standing beside Saeed Amari: "This is Yussefu." I'm with you, Eusefo with the rest of our men. ”
"Okay. I remembered. Donovan said a word, "Take us to see the weapons." And are we going to change our clothes now? ”
Team 009 left the parlor, and what the Yemenis had prepared for them was placed in the backyard of the embassy. Pete and the others were taken straight to the backyard, and first they took off all their clothes and changed all the clothes worn by the locals.
"Pete." Donovan walked up to Pete, stretched out his hand and wrapped Pete's turban around his face and said, "You don't have a beard, you don't look like it, you block your face a little." ”
"Looks like I'm going to have to grow a beard in the future?" Pete said as he fiddled with the cloth wrapped around his face.
"That's a must. Especially in this place. In the past, you didn't use it when you were in the service, and you wore a military uniform to do things without disguise. And now it's different. John told me that there might be a lot of such tasks in the future. Donovan said.
"But what if it doesn't grow?" Pete looked a little embarrassed and touched his face through the cloth and said, "This kind of beard is not something that everyone can grow. ”
"Haha." Donovan smiled and said, "Then use the current method." The problem will not be very big either. With that, he turned back to the weapons, "Look at the guns." I hope it's not too bad. ”
