Chapter 427: Operation Silver Triangle II
The matter in Africa has been solved in just half a month, it is so incredible, under the supervision and control of the mercenary corps, the government of Cobiria is actively preparing for the election of a new president, and Western countries led by the United States will also send observation missions to participate, and this trivial matter is naturally operated by Hunter.

Thompson and Eric, who were in charge of the Silver Triangle operation, attended a welcome ceremony for the training camp before arriving on a military transport plane to Leticia, Colombia's southernmost part of Colombia, a port town with a military base and airfield.
According to the agreement of the five countries, the mercenaries will be permanently stationed in the Silver Triangle to monitor the trafficking syndicates at all times to prevent a resurgence of their efforts from being lost. As a result, Leticia became the mercenary's first base in South America, and there was no lease period.
Logistics teams arrived early and began construction of barracks and airfields, and the docks were to be re-expanded, and the U.S. government alone had invested more than $300 million in infrastructure here.
The base has a joint office where the militaries of the United States, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia have liaison officers to coordinate operations in the various regions at any time. As a representative of the CIA, Selena also has her own office, but she feels a little depressed about not being able to be with Wu Chen.
"Thompson is the boss, he doesn't come forward for such an important matter, it's really inappropriate, our mercenary corps is starting the second training camp, I, as the chief instructor, must fulfill my duties, I promise you, after the three-month course, I will go to the Silver Triangle to participate in the operation." Wu Chen explained.
Half a month later, the 3rd Brigade Combat Team of the Lightning Air Assault Division and a battalion of special forces arrived in Leticia one after another under the escort of strategic transport aircraft. In order to protect the security of the headquarters, a battalion of T-55 main battle tanks and a battalion of infantry fighting vehicles were also brought in, and the army of several thousand people was brought in, which made this border town suddenly lively.
Two Perry-class frigates, departing from the port of Monrovia in Cobiria, arrived here first, followed by four Hamilton-class patrol ships and eight Poison Spider missile speedboats, and at the same time, two Akula-class attack nuclear submarines capable of launching Garnet cruise missiles also appeared in the eyes of various countries for the first time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Akula-class attack nuclear submarine, which has not appeared since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, suddenly appeared in the port of Leticia in Colombia, and it is understood that this is just sold by the Russian government to the Golden Triangle International Security Company in the near future, and the military has also recognized the deal."
"The Akula-class attack nuclear submarine is currently the world's largest displacement attack nuclear submarine, reaching 9,500 tons, more than the Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine, 110 meters long and 13.5 meters wide, like a steel behemoth, standing in front of it, everyone will feel very small," said a reporter from ABC, standing in front ......of the camera.
With less than a year to go before the U.S. government's term, Operation Silver Triangle was the last large-scale transnational operation, and the president made a televised speech to the nation that the government would crack down on the trafficking syndicates that poisoned the American people, completely destroy the cultivation environment of the Silver Triangle, and reduce the flow of drugs* into the United States.
The government's move has been highly praised by the American people, first cracking down on the Mexican trafficking syndicates, and then completely eradicating the drug lords in the Golden Triangle, and the amount of drug imports from the United States has been greatly controlled, which is also one of the most brilliant achievements of the current administration.
There are too many journalists in the news media who are eager to become famous in one fell swoop, and everyone follows the US Military Observer Mission to Leticia to broadcast the whole operation, of course, they stay in the base during the war, and they will interview after the end, not afraid of death does not mean that they want to die!
"It seems that Russia is really not good, even such an important naval equipment as the Akula-class attack nuclear submarine was sold to mercenary regiments, which shows that the sharp deterioration of the economy has led to no military spending to maintain the huge nuclear submarine force left by the former Soviet Union, which is a good thing for us in the United States!" The Minister of Defense said with a smile.
"These nuclear submarines have long been discontinued, and it is estimated that it didn't cost much when they were bought, but the later care and maintenance will definitely make the mercenary corps suffer, not an economically developed country, and they can't afford to raise such a gold-swallowing beast!" The CIA director also said.
"Things are not as bad as you think, you look at the TV picture, these two nuclear submarines have just been replaced with silencing tiles, it is estimated that the interior has also been modernized, and even the reactor has been maintained and the fuel rods have been replaced, and the mercenary corps will be eliminated after ten or eight years of use, and it will not cost much, ten million dollars a year is enough." said the commander of the Navy.
Wu Chen and the top management of the mercenary corps unanimously decided to unveil some of the nuclear submarines hidden in the nuclear submarine base, why choose the Akula-class attack nuclear submarine, because the main weapon launched by this type is the Garnet cruise missile, but it can carry a nuclear warhead, and it is very powerful.
It doesn't matter to the United States, it's just an old Soviet nuclear submarine that has been in service for 15 years, and the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine is sure to win, but for many countries, this is a strategic killer with enough deterrence!
"The area of the Silver Triangle has reached more than 200,000 square kilometers, and it is either a mountain or a forest, although we mobilized more than 30,000 people this time, but this environment plays a very small role, and the other side has too many roads to choose from, and it is impossible to prevent it at all."
"Therefore, the strategy formulated by the mercenary corps is that people can hide, but those production sites can't escape, and those planting sites can't run away, so we divide the area under our jurisdiction into multiple areas according to this method, and carefully investigate them one by one, as long as these are completely destroyed, the trafficking syndicate will become a fish without water, and can only be thirsty to death."
"The most important thing is that the reason why the people in these areas plant these contraband, or because of the pressure of life, we can manage it for a while, but we can't manage it for a lifetime, if we want to completely transform the Silver Triangle, we need governments to help these people in their lives, publicize the harm of drugs, not blindly implement punishment."
"According to the original agreement, the mercenary corps is responsible for cooperating with the actions of your four countries, whenever you need it, please call me at any time, the mercenaries will definitely arrive in the shortest possible time!" At the joint meeting, Thompson explained in detail the plan that had been made in advance.
This is definitely the most practical method, the reason why the trafficking group was born is because there is a place to grow and refine drugs, and dig out the roots.
