Chapter 371: Embarking on a Journey
With the wave of the rabbit's hand, the Sea Dragon helicopter turned around and swept away towards the vast sea.
Sitting in the seats of the cabin, a group of people did not speak, one by one closed their eyes like an old monk in meditation. The murderous aura of the full cabin made several pilots of the Atlantic Fleet feel extremely uncomfortable.
I thought in my heart, no wonder I was repeatedly told by the captain before taking off that Qianwai should not have too much contact with these people, let alone have conflicts with them. The murderous aura on this group of people is simply strong and palpable.
How many people have to be killed to accumulate such a strong murderous aura! In comparison, these regular armies are really inferior to them.
A few pilots tried to adjust their mentality, and did not talk to these people, and the helicopter flew quickly towards the fleet at sea.
In the vast Atlantic Ocean, a red sun slowly rises from the horizon, and the morning glow is reflected between the sea and the sky, giving the sparkling sea a brilliant red.
A mixed formation consisting of an aircraft carrier, two anti-aircraft cruisers, four anti-aircraft anti-submarine destroyers, four anti-aircraft and anti-submarine frigates, and several ocean-going supply ships is cruising on the surface of the sea.
Looking down from the air, more than a dozen steel giants dragged out white waterlines on the sea, which was spectacular.
After more than three hours of flight, the Sea Dragon helicopter slowly landed on the deck of the "Nimitz" aircraft carrier.
The captain, Rear Admiral John, was already on deck. By the time the captain and the others got off the helicopter, there were already Navy soldiers who had gone up to help defend the two wooden boxes with nuclear bombs.
Rear Admiral John strode forward, stretched out his hand to the captain, and said, "Welcome, Colonel Fleming, I am Captain John, thank you for your contribution to the country and for accepting my commission." ”
The captain shook his hand and said, "General, don't say polite words." Please check this nuclear bomb, and as for your commission, please tell us the details. Since it's to save people, the sooner the better. ”
"The Colonel is really resolute, all right! You go get something to eat first, and I'll bring you the mission briefing while you have breakfast. General John said.
Immediately, an adjutant and the captain came to a small conference room, and after a while, a few orderlies came in with breakfast and distributed it to everyone.
After flying for most of the night, everyone was hungry, and they all took their plates and began to eat and drink, when General John walked in with a few of his subordinates.
The adjutant immediately shouted, "All stand up," and several orderlies immediately stood up straight, their eyes looking ahead, and their feet together as a sign of respect.
The iron-blooded group, including the captain, were indifferent, still sitting in their respective positions and munching, doing whatever they had to do.
The adjutant who shouted the slogan was a little unhappy, and just as he wanted to open his mouth to reprimand, General John waved his hand at him, signaling not to talk too much, these people were not his subordinates. There weren't so many rules to talk about, so the adjutant had to give up.
When everyone had finished eating, General John motioned for his men to begin distributing materials to everyone, and a satellite map of Nijaria appeared on the projector in the conference room.
"Now the situation in Nijalia is becoming more and more chaotic, and the current dictator, General Gorba, is massacring the Ruba people, and the former king of the Ruba tribe, Azullu. Martin's son, Arthur. Azulu also led the Ruba in a revolt.
"But General Gorba now controls the country's oil-producing regions, and has hired retired instructors from Russia's Vympel to help him train his soldiers, so the Hausa are basically on the battlefield
I have never lost a battle.
"Due to the support and influence of the Russians, this guy is now very hostile to Europeans and Americans, believing that it is the Western regime that is secretly supporting Arthur. Azulu's resistance, so the international rescue organization that would not have been attacked some time ago has now also had to evacuate this place, which has lost order. ”
"Here, here, and here are all Gorba's forces, and there are about 50,000 people." Major General John said, pointing to a large red area on the map.
"Looking at it this way, Gorba has basically controlled the whole of Nijalia, so what kind of Arthur's power is?" The captain asked.
"A lot of gossip, one is Arthur. Azulu has been captured and secretly executed. Another is that he fled, abandoned his people, and became a coward, so the resistance of the Ruba tribe has largely disappeared. But it has nothing to do with us, your job is to save this man. Major General John motioned for his men to change the slide.
A black-haired woman with a ponytail appeared on the screen, with a straight nose bridge and a pair of big almond eyes, and she looked quite beautiful.
"Her name is Diana. Dunn, a doctor at the International Rescue Organization and an American newspaper magnate named Cornelly. Dunn's daughter. Major General John introduced.
"Damn, she's still a beauty! There is such a rich father, why did he come to Africa where birds don't to do some kind of humanitarian relief? This is sick, right? The fuse began to speak freely when he saw the photo of this beauty.
"Ahem...... "Ahem" The captain coughed twice to remind the big mouth to pay attention to the occasion, and this guy reacted, looked at General John, who was a little displeased, and said with a smile: "A woman with lofty ideals is very great, hehe!" ”
The general's eyebrows jumped, and he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, thinking that if you kid is Lao Tzu's soldier, you must be locked up for a few days, without the serious appearance of a soldier.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassed, the captain hurriedly asked, "General, since this woman is an American and has such a rich father, why don't you send your own subordinates to save her?" As far as I know, the U.S. government is supposed to protect the lives of its own citizens. ”
Major General John said with a wry smile: "I have just said that Gorba is very hostile to Western regimes, especially the Americans, he is now the de facto ruler of Nijaria, if the US government sends troops to Nijaria without his consent, if there is any conflict, then it is considered a blatant declaration of war on him, which is unreasonable." ”
"Oh! No wonder they will look for us, even if there is any accident, the US government can excuse us and say that we are not American soldiers, right? The captain said with some self-deprecation.
"Basically that's what it means, so my friend Cornelly. Dunn initially wanted me to send a team to help, and I'm going to convince him to find a private army! It just so happened that Director Benjamin asked me to receive the nuclear bomb you sent, so I asked him about you, and when I heard his praise for you, I felt that you were the best person for this mission, and as for Councilor Roger, he was also a good friend of Connelly, so please, please be sure to rescue this girl. Major General John told the truth about the cause and effect of the incident.
"OK, how do we get into Nijalia, how do we retreat after rescuing people, do you have a plan?" The captain asked.
"It's a church, and the International Red Cross has set up a refugee shelter here, and according to the latest satellite photos, there's a team of Gorba, about 300 people, heading in
The direction of the church has moved, so time is shorter.
"The church is about 30 kilometers away from the Cameroonian border, and because it is all Gorba-controlled territory, I am going to send a transport plane to take you there at night to parachute near the church.
"After finding Diana, walk fifteen kilometers southwest of this plain, and I'll send a helicopter here to pick you up after dark." Major General John said, pointing to a small dot on the map.
The captain lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Yes, but the helicopter pilot I want to arrange for my men, and I still want to use my own soldiers when I enter the war zone." ”
When Major General John heard this, he walked back and forth in the conference room for a few steps before he made up his mind and said: "Okay, just let your people drive one, and then the one who will be escorted by an armed helicopter will be escorted." ”
"So be it! When do we depart? The captain asked.
"You can leave at noon, I will let the fleet move at full speed towards the Gulf of Guinea, it will be almost evening when you arrive at your destination by transport plane, Gorba's air defense is not very strong, there is no risk of parachuting at night, and I have another request, there are five Americans in the church, a male journalist and two female doctors, as well as a nun and a priest, please also rescue them in the spirit of humanitarianism." Major General John said with some embarrassment.
The captain touched his beard, sighed and replied: "General, if you go to the business world to develop, I estimate that you will be better than the military world, you are too good at doing business, and you can buy one and get five free." ”
"Hey! You are also an American, I am in a political position and it is really difficult to do it, if it weren't for the pressure of those suits above, I would have sent troops a long time ago, what kind of character is Gorba? An African warlord, my fleet is about to be flattened in the Gulf of Guinea! The general grumbled indignantly.
"I love to hear this, so I rushed to this sentence, these people have also been saved, anyway, one is also saved, and five are also saved, but in the future, our iron and blood will be in trouble in your sphere of influence, if you don't violate the principle, I hope you can take care of it." The captain is not so easy to fool, if he doesn't give money to work more, he still has to ask for a blank check.
"No problem, both Benjamin and Roger say you are a friend worth making, I trust them, don't worry! Today's promise will work, and I would love to make friends with you. The general agreed.
When the captain saw him like this, he didn't say anything more, picked up the information in his hand and perfected the battle plan with the brothers.
In the end, it was agreed that they would take off in a C-2 Greyhound transport plane, pass through Cameroon, reach the church under the cover of night, and then parachute down, find their target, and take them to the plains, where Max would be piloted in a Neptune helicopter and escorted by an Apache helicopter gunship to pick them up.
The virus and the mechanic are not combatants, they stay on the aircraft carrier and wait, using the ship's communications to connect to military reconnaissance satellites in an open and honest manner, acting as everyone's eyes in the sky.
After the discussion, Major General John didn't say more, and after telling everyone to hurry up and rest, he arranged for someone to take the iron-blooded mercenaries to the cabin to rest.
At noon, everyone got up, had a full meal in the canteen, and then packed their bags, got on a C-2 transport plane, and flew in the direction of Cameroon.
