"The members of Alden's team are all free mercenaries from the Middle East, and they have already received a large amount of money from Wall Street the moment they board the ship, in other words, their lives are no longer their own before the end of this operation."

Robert said indifferently, not feeling anything special at all because of the annihilation of Alden's team.

Sadness? Hehe, non-existent. A group of mercenaries, in addition to the mercenaries supported by the European and American governments and the military, there are also a large number of free mercenaries in the Middle East, but a few free mercenaries have died, which is not a problem at all.

As long as the predators on Wall Street turn on the money printing machine, and some are free mercenaries who are willing to die for the dollar, there is no shortage of people at all.

"What's going on with the Chinese who suddenly appeared, if it weren't for the firefight caused by their sudden appearance, we would almost have succeeded in luring those things underground, and Alden might have survived a few."

Mitch Hayden obviously knew that Alden's team were free mercenaries, and he didn't dwell too much on this issue. What he wanted to figure out was why the Blade Squad suddenly appeared and briefly exchanged fire with his side, which was always a problem for people to understand, and he had to be on the lookout for the blade behind him.

"Mickey, don't be impatient."

"As you know, in order to avoid trouble, we greeted Moscow in advance before we came here, but we did not inform the Chinese government, and the reasons for this are complicated, but I promise that it is all for the benefit of the United States of America."

Speaking of serving the interests of the United States of America, Robert looked firm and solemn, as if he were a patriot.

"You know, right beneath our feet, there's a huge cavern-like space underground. According to the historical materials of the most glorious era of Mongolia and the Yuan Dynasty of China, the descendants of Genghis Khan were defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty and withdrew from the Central Plains with the treasures that had ruled the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years.

According to the intelligence collected by the Longshan base over the years, it is very likely that this is one of the treasures of the Mongols back then. Dr. Norman's expedition to the land also revealed a strong metallic response: the detector found a reaction band similar to gold within a three-kilometer radius. ”

"Three kilometers in a radius, do you know what that means? That's not worth millions of dollars, it's hundreds or thousands of tons of gold! Gold enough to tide the United States of America through the crisis! ”

Robert pointed to the ground under his feet and said feverishly and solemnly. Mitch Hayden and Thompson, who were close to each other, did not find a trace of greed in Robert's eyes, only excitement.

There was obviously no problem in sending Robert to the Mongolian Plateau as the commander of this mission, and judging by Robert's performance, he knew that he could not do anything to intercept or embezzle. In fact, during the wars in the Middle East, the US military often deserted and took away some of its finances, but this was also tacitly approved by the US military command.

Where there are immortals in war, as long as it is not your own people who die, it doesn't matter if it is a sea of corpses and blood. It is only a trivial matter for the soldiers to bring some property as trophies, and the soldiers also need to vent no, as long as the combat mission is successfully completed, these problems are not a problem.

"Forgive me for interrupting you, sir, I seem to have heard you just say, crisis?"

Thompson frowned, what Robert said later, what are hundreds of tons of gold, dollars, Thompson didn't take it to heart at all. Fake, all fake, only what you get is real! Don't think that American GIs have no brains, let alone retired soldiers from various special forces of the US military, they know better than anyone else: although the dollar is good, it must also be spent on it!

"Thompson, your hearing is good."

Robert said with a grin tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"This is a fiscal crisis that has never occurred in the history of the United States of America, and it is far more severe than the crisis brought about by the Great Industrial Depression of the last century. This is a crisis that concerns every citizen of the United States, from which no one can escape, it is everyone, you understand? ”

The smile on Robert's face came and went as quickly as he could, and he was already staring at Thompson's eyes with a solemn face as he finished speaking.

"I think I might get it, Lieutenant." Thompson replied immediately.

"You may not quite understand the gravity of this matter, but you just need to understand that the great United States of America is going through the worst crisis in history, and we, are fighting for the great United States!"

"Sgt. Mitch Hayden, Sergeant Thompson, this is the first and last time."

Robert's last sentence undoubtedly shows his inner dissatisfaction, no commander likes to be questioned by his subordinates, even if the commander's decision is wrong.

Mitch and Thompson looked at each other, saluted, and stepped back.

[Hmph, stupid Slavs, do you think that treasures that you can't find don't exist.] It seems that our appearance has alarmed the Chinese government, and it is necessary to speed up, and if necessary, let people from Japan and South Korea act as cannon fodder. 】

Robert stretched out his hands and pressed his temples, and the roses engraved on his left wrist were covered by his clothes as soon as they appeared. Looking at the scattered snowflakes falling outside the window, Robert combed through his messy thoughts.

Qinling base.

"Chief, news from Beijing." The correspondent saluted and said loudly.

Ouyang Longyun took the document and looked at it, leaned a little, and handed the document to Zhang Yajie for a look.

"The headquarters received news that the actual purpose of this US military team in the name of scientific research on the Mongolian Plateau is to excavate treasures. It is suspected that the gold treasure buried by the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty in China when they withdrew from the Central Plains. ”

After Zhang Yajie finished reading it, Ouyang Longyun said noncommittally.

"The headquarters also said that the news had already been received, and the headquarters consulted a large number of historians and could not reach an accurate conclusion, so it can only be said that there is a relatively high probability that it may be true." Zhang Yajie added.

"Treasure? Do you still believe in this reason? It's too... It's far-fetched. Ouyang Longyun was not satisfied with Zhang Yajie's answer, and frowned slightly.

What does it matter whether you believe or not? The Americans have not yet reached the point where they want to ask us for instructions, so if the Yankees want to do things alone, if they have not informed us, then don't blame us for the unnecessary injuries caused by our actions. ”

Zhang Yajie didn't want to say that such an unfounded theory, although it sounded as untenable as duckweed, but Ouyang Longyun felt that it made sense.

Ouyang Longyun and Zhang Yajie have cooperated for many years, and at this moment, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
