Chapter 119: Opportunity

When Wang Dong and Luo Qing returned to Edinburgh, the sky was already bright. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After finding a casual restaurant for breakfast, the two went to D&F's headquarters in Appleton Tower.

It is said to be the headquarters, but it is actually a rented office building.

Serena, Musharraf, Zhao Yu and Gao Jun had been waiting here for a long time, while Nicholas, who was in charge of providing information support, stayed at the castle on the outskirts.

In fact, that castle is the stronghold in Scotland.

Musharraf gave an overview of the situation, followed by a video of the attack on the military city of King Fahd.

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

The video, which is less than three minutes long, has been broadcast tens of millions of times on the Internet, and most people have seen only the bloody and tragic side of the terrorist attack.

In the eyes of Wang Dong and others, this video contains a lot of extremely important information.

The terrorists used a Humvee military vehicle, most likely from the Saudi army, but it does not say anything, namely the Saudi army has tens of thousands of Humvee military vehicles, and it has lost a lot in Yemen, some of which fell into the hands of the Houthis and were used by the terrorists.

The military vehicle has been modified, the body of the vehicle is reinforced with bulletproof steel plates, and the front windshield has been replaced with bulletproof steel plates.

There was only one terrorist in the car, but judging by the degree of compression of the suspension, it must have been loaded with a lot of cargo, that is, high explosives.

The target of the attack was clear, the row of barracks behind the gate.

The guards guarding the gate did not play their due role and were surprisingly slow to react, such as not using the heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles in time.

The special forces reacted quickly and stopped the military vehicle in time.

It's just that the special forces appeared in time, was it a coincidence, or was there something else?

"What do you think?" Wang Dong looked at Musharraf.

"A premeditated attack with a clear purpose."

Wang Dong nodded slightly and asked Musharraf to continue.

"At the time of the incident, there were no guards on the armored vehicle, indicating that there was a problem with the guards, at least there was a possibility of betrayal by the officer commanding the guards."

"Bought by terrorists?" Luo Qing asked.

Musharraf nodded, and then said: "The special forces that stopped the military vehicles are subordinate to the Ministry of Defense and directly obey the orders of the Minister of Defense, that is, the Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed. In fact, this special force was Prince Mohammed's guard, so it was likely that he was nearby at the time of the incident. ”

"You're saying the attack was directed at him?"

"That's the only explanation." At this time, Serena spoke, "Judging by the power of the explosion, there is at least a ton of TNT explosives on the military vehicle. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the three infantry fighting vehicles, the military vehicles would have blown up the platoon barracks by hitting forward more than 100 meters. ”

"The one who lives there should be the pilots of the 5th Wing." Musharraf added.

Wang Dong's eyebrows jumped a few times, and he said, "You mean, Muhammad is in the barracks?" ”

"It's just speculation."

"The point is, what does this have to do with us?" Luo Qing pulled the topic back. "Even if the prince who is not short of money is stimulated, it is enough to give the terrorists a little color, dispatch a few fighter jets, and carry out a few bombings, do you need to purchase arms?"

"The last seconds."

"What?"

As Razakh had seen enough of Serena, Musharraf replayed the last few seconds of the video.

"After the military vehicle stopped, the special forces around it kept firing at the military vehicle. It is a pity that not a single bullet penetrated the steel plate on the military vehicle. Serena got up and walked over to the projection screen and pointed to the military vehicle on the screen. Obviously, there is something wrong with the weapons used by the special forces. ”

"The fortress is on the outskirts, there are no settlements nearby, and civilian cell phone signals are forwarded through base stations controlled by the garrison, and only specific numbers can be used."

"What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, the possibility of a second terrorist being remotely detonated nearby can be ruled out. Because of the high time sensitivity of the target and the uncertainty of the arrival of military vehicles, the possibility of using a timed detonation device is almost zero. ”

Wang Dong was slightly stunned, then nodded, indicating that he understood what Musharraf meant.

"However, this does not prove that the terrorist in the car manually detonated the bomb." After Luo Qing understood, he immediately said.

"That's right, it really can't be proven, for example, that terrorists can use a pulse-controlled remote control device to detonate a bomb after being killed." Serena walked over and said, "Only, again, the possibility that the bomb was manually detonated by terrorists cannot be ruled out. ”

Luo Qing pursed his lips and did not refute.

"Obviously, if the rifles used by the special forces could penetrate the bulletproof steel plates of the military vehicle and kill the terrorists inside, it would be possible to prevent the explosion from happening."

"You'd have to use a heavy machine gun."

Serena smiled faintly and looked at Zhao Yu, who was sitting next to Luo Qing.

"Judging from the video, the military vehicle has gained about one and a half tons of weight after modification, and combined with the coverage, it can be roughly deduced that the thickness of the bulletproof steel plate is about ten millimeters."

Luo Qing frowned, and also looked at Zhao Yu.

"This thickness is just enough to block a 7.62 mm NATO bullet."

"What about the machine guns on the three vehicles?"

"Apparently, the cockpit of the military vehicle was strengthened. In addition, the machine gun fired a high-explosive shell, not an armor-piercing shell. After the military vehicles stopped, the three combat vehicles ceased fire. "Zhao Yu asked Musharraf to replay the footage of the chariot firing." The vehicle was aimed at the power compartment of the military vehicle, and it was only after the engine was destroyed by a shell that the military vehicle stopped. It can almost be concluded that the terrorists driving were still alive when the military vehicle stopped. ”

"The weak point is the car door, and the special forces are also shooting at the car door."

Wang Dong let out a long breath and said, "In this way, if the rifle in the hands of the special forces can penetrate the car door and kill the terrorists inside, the explosion will not happen." ”

"It's possible."

"What can we do?" Wang Dong asked directly.

"Prince Mohammed is the deputy crown prince of Saudi Arabia and the king's own son, and he is certainly not bad for money. After something like this, there is a good chance that he will redress the special forces, such as procuring a rifle with better performance. This deal can make us an instant hit. ”

Wang Dong frowned and looked at Serena.

"I'm going to get it."

"You?" Luo Qing looked at Musharraf incomprehensibly.

"I know him, and the relationship is good."

"The question is, can we make a better rifle than the SCAR-H and HK417?" Wang Dong pointed to the screen on the screen.

The SABY special forces use the SCAR series of rifles, including the SCAR-H, which is known for its power.

At this time, Zhao Yu put an item on the table.

Not a rifle, but a bullet.
