Chapter 422: Entering the Silver Triangle
"Boss, you said at the Academy Awards that you want to break the record and win the best director for three consecutive years, I think you should concentrate on preparing the film in Hollywood, and the silver triangle will be left to Eric and me. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Thompson pleaded bitterly with Wu Chen, who was drinking rock sugar bird's nest, and kicked Eric by the way.
The mercenary corps' second intensive training is about to begin, and middle-level and grass-roots officers of various branches of the navy, land, and air force are rushing to report to the training base one after another, including some special trainees, such as officers of the Iraqi government army, leaders of the Kurdish armed forces, and even some senior officers of the coalition army of the Gulf countries.
In the conference room of the Langbasa training base, a group of high-ranking members of the mercenary corps couldn't help but laugh secretly when they watched this scene, and as soon as the boss finished saying the two requirements of the US government, the atmosphere almost exploded, and they all volunteered to take the second task next.
The difficulty of Liberia's task is relatively simple, and no one here can see that it is one of the least developed countries in the world, with only more than 30,000 troops and extremely backward weapons and equipment.
With the current strength of the mercenary corps, only one air assault brigade needs to be mobilized to completely control the situation in the country, if only to accomplish the goals of the United States, the number of one battalion is enough.
But the mission of the Silver Triangle is completely different, this is a test of life and death, the guys of those trafficking organizations are all very murderous, they are a shuttle when they don't agree with each other, and they are familiar with the local environment, they are good at concealing and hiding, and the difficulty is not ordinary.
The more challenging the task, the more it stimulates the interest and fighting spirit of the mercenaries, as for the threat of death that may be faced in battle, please, from the day you enter this profession, no one thinks about being able to live a safe life, and those who are afraid of death can be men, but not mercenaries.
"I just seem to say that my goal is to win three consecutive Best Director, not that I will definitely win three consecutive Best Director, don't change the concept, I feel that the Silver Triangle is much more attractive to me than the Academy Award for Best Director." Wu Chen smoked a cigar while looking at Thompson with a smile.
"Okay, you don't tease Thompson anymore, look at him sweating profusely, you have a lot of things to do, you can't stay in one place for a long time, let's leave things to Thompson and Eric to deal with!" Li Lisi came over with a cup of hot tea and glanced at Wu Chen.
"Is there a suitable candidate on the Liberian side? If we force Charles to step down, Liberia needs a new president, and that person must be in our interest and worthy of our investment. Wu Chen began to get down to business.
"According to the infiltration and investigation of the shadow organization for two years, there is a more suitable candidate, that is, the current Vice President Bula, this person used to be Charles's right-hand man, and he made great contributions in the process of forming the government, if he takes over as president, it will help the smooth transfer of power, and he can also smoothly integrate those forces of the previous government." Marcas said.
"Dennis, the navy has the Haidun 4 aircraft carrier as the core, and formed an aircraft carrier fleet to rush to Monrovia as soon as possible, from the Algiers naval base to the target location, about 5,000 kilometers, according to the speed of the fleet, it can be reached in four days at most. A battalion of marines was dispatched to occupy the port directly, and military control was imposed to block the sea lanes. ”
"Thompson, mobilize the 4th Airborne Brigade of the Falcon Airborne Division to wait in Sierra Leone first, while the Navy occupies the port, carry out airborne landing on the outskirts of Monrovia, block all land traffic in Monrovia, and when the heavy equipment from the Titan base in Sudan arrives, start an attack, capture Charles and send him to the International Tribunal."
"This is a rare opportunity to train troops, and the danger is very low, the Marine Corps and the Airborne Division, have not undergone major actual combat training, first use this mission to train their hands, the training ground and the battlefield, it is a completely different environment." Wu Chen made a decision.
The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Haidug-4 departed from the naval base in Algiers, accompanied by two Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, the USS Ukolan, two Burke-class destroyers, four Perry-class frigates, and two Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines.
A battalion of marines quickly took over the harbor and declared that it was temporarily under the military control of mercenaries, and that commercial activities could continue, but that people entering and leaving the port must be checked to prevent Charles from escaping from the sea.
At the same time, an airborne brigade of the Falcon Airborne Division, led by the Il-76 Tactical Transport Wing, carried out a large-scale airborne landing at several locations on the outskirts of Monrovia, which was also the largest airborne landing since the establishment of the Airborne Division.
Accompanied by more than 3,000 airborne troops, there were more than 300 Humvee off-road combat vehicles, more than 200 Soviet BMD-3 paratrooper fighting vehicles, more than 100 transport vehicles, 24 Avenger air defense missile systems, 36 105 howitzers, and a large number of mortars, and dozens of tons of combat materials.
After many drills, the airborne troops occupied the international airport and various transportation arteries in just one hour, blocking Charles's escape route from the land. The government troops guarding the capital did not put up any resistance in the face of the mercenaries' military operations, and they didn't even have the idea of shooting when they saw such mercenaries armed to the teeth.
A squadron of A-10 attack planes and a squadron of F-16 fighters rushed from Sierra Leone to the international airport in Monrovia, where strategic transport planes began to land, transporting a large number of infantry fighting vehicles and main battle tanks to cover the attack of the airborne troops, forming a tactical encirclement of Monrovia.
The United States and many Western countries are very satisfied with this operation, but the countries of the world have different attitudes towards this operation, and most African countries are dissatisfied with this, especially a few countries such as South Africa and Nigeria, which strongly condemn the behavior of the mercenary corps, believing that this is an aggression and trampling on a sovereign country, and calling on the international community to sanction the mercenary industry.
In the midst of all this chaos, a hilarious international joke suddenly appeared, and the tension was lost! The Gambia, a small country, actually claimed to send its navy to wipe out the mercenary aircraft carrier fleet and rescue the trapped President Charles.
"Go, send a battalion of airborne troops to the Gambia, and give me this tease to sober up!" Wu Chen was simply disgusted by this small country.
