Chapter 46 Wait and see
When Lana took a look at the snake with a basin, Liu Guodong gasped.
He first tied Catherine's right arm and injected her with a shot of poison. He made a small incision on his thumb with a small scalpel and sucked out several mouthfuls of black blood in his mouth. Catherine had already fainted, and Liu Guodong had dealt with all this before putting her flat on the sofa.
"Pit vipers?" Mao Yankai looked at the poison bottle and asked. Rana had already taken the delicate little box containing the little snake, and everyone had taken a look at it.
"That's right, it's the Mediterranean jungle pit viper. If it's a little later, this girl will be reimbursed. However, it doesn't matter now, when she wakes up from sleep, her resistance will be stronger and her body will be healthier. Liu Guodong held the cup, rinsed his mouth with water, and replied affirmatively.
Mao Yankai looked at the mailing address, and his face was extremely solemn. Yu Songyuan's feeling is really right, and he really hit the door, but who is the opponent?
Together, they walked into the underground war room.
In the basement, Yu Songyuan, Lin Tao, and Lin Zhumin were deducing alpine ambush tactics around the sand table, and the target location was the polar bear Spates Natz special operations team, which was ambushed several late nights in the Khyber Pass Canyon.
Lin Zhumin took a ruler to measure the distance in a straight line, Liu Guodong also stepped forward to help, Lin Tao kept remembering and calculating. Yu Songyuan was planting small red flags and green flags one by one according to the data calculated by Lin Tao.
With that done, they started to calculate another sandbox.
This sand table is a topographical model of Central America, where country M invaded Grenada on October 25. It took only eight days for the M Army to completely occupy the entire territory of Georgia. In this quick decisive battle, the M Army conducted a vertical landing operation on the runway of Pearl Airport, a parachute operation at Sahlins Airport, and a rescue operation of the Governor's Mansion of St. George.
Now they're talking about the seals' rescue of the Governor's House in St. George's.
While parachuting at Sahlins Airport was a fierce battle, an 11-member team of Army M SEALs was parachuted to the Governor's residence in St. George's, where they quickly launched a military operation to rescue Governor Skun. However, as the team prepared to evacuate with the Governor's family, three Cuban-operated BTR-60 armored vehicles surrounded the Governor's family and members of the M Army SEAL Team.
If the SEAL team had been tactically strong and had decisively attacked the armored vehicles, the situation would not have been too serious.
However, just three armored vehicles left the famous seals helpless. Because of the seals' timidity and fear of war, they missed their precious warplanes, and the locals surrounding the Doge's Palace gathered more and more. When I tried to force my way through, it was no longer possible.
As a result, the two sides engaged in a fierce confrontation.
Regrettably, Cubans and Grenadians have also made mistakes. They, with their superiority, did not organize a breakthrough to the official residence. Just imagine, if the governor's family and the seal team are all taken hostage, this operation of the M Army will become the second "Persian hostage incident", and it will be laughed at again.
In order to rescue the besieged Governor and the SEALs, the front commander of the M Army, General Matcalfe, had to adjust the entire invasion operation, that is, the direction of Pearl Airport, the M Army, and no longer attack St. George by land, but by sea. Except for some marines who remained in the direction of Pearl Airfield to take up guard duties, the remaining 240 marines returned to the amphibious assault ship "Guam."
The ship then took the ship from the north of the island and quickly circled to the sea near the Great Marle Bay, about 1 kilometer north of St. George on the west coast of the island. At 7:30 p.m., the marines landed in landing craft, accompanied by 18 tanks and armored vehicles. After landing, after 12 hours of all-night fighting, the enemy besieging the Governor's Palace was annihilated and the Governor and the SEALs were rescued.
After careful calculations, Liu Guodong concluded, "If the seals can subdue, capture, or simply eliminate the three armored vehicles at the first time, and quickly disguise and conceal the retreat, it is entirely possible to skillfully avoid the encirclement." It can also be seen from this battle that seals are not superior in intelligence and combat effectiveness under inferior conditions, which is their fatal weakness. ”
Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin also thought so, Yu Songyuan said, "It's not all the seal's mistakes, the high-level personnel of the M Army also have great responsibility." Due to the flaws left in the battle, the root of the bane was laid. Think about it, if before the war, a special team could be sent to hide the governor's family, or use the excuse to secretly pick them all out, would this joke still appear? ”
Mao Yankai listened to their discussion and felt the same way.
He lamented that this kind of military action, which had a small cost, a large benefit, a quick victory, and a quick victory, and took over the country in one war, enabled the M Army to regain its "self-confidence" after the defeat in the Vietnam War. This war will prompt country M to give more consideration to using force to pursue its foreign policy in its foreign exchanges, thus posing a threat to the peace and stability of Shijie.
Yu Songyuan nodded, "Team leader, you're right, this is determined by the nature of Westerners. After this war, the people of country M will become the promoters of regional turmoil, stirring up firesticks, and even the source of regional turmoil. Thirdly, the sovereignty and security of the small and poor countries, especially the weakest among them, will be seriously challenged, and the shijie will be further volatile as a result. ”
The defeat of the Vietnam War once plunged country M into internal and external difficulties, and in the struggle for hegemony with polar bears, country M had to be on the defensive at all times. On the issue of the use of force against foreign countries, we are even more cautious. In the more than eight years since the Vietnam War, country M has hardly conducted large-scale military operations abroad.
However, the invasion of Grenada made the elites of country M see that with the rapid development of military jishu, especially military high jishu, it is entirely possible for country M to get rid of the painful lessons of protracted and huge losses, similar to the "Vietnam War", so that they can freely pursue the foreign policy of country M by force.
The facts since then have fully proved this point.
In the process of winning the Cold War and reshaping its hegemony, country M let go of its military liliang and combined it with geopolitical games, exporting Western values, and subverting sovereign state power, which caused frequent turmoil in the Balkan Peninsula, the Arabian Peninsula, Central Asia, West Asia, and South Asia. And country M and the West, while controlling the situation in these turbulent regions, firmly control the hegemony of shijie in their own hands......
Mao Yankai did not have a complete and rigorous military training like them, and he generally did not disturb them when they were nervously conducting sand table deductions, working on maps, and discussing tactics. Learning the strengths and weaknesses of war from the opponent is one of the secrets of the "Ghost" to maintain a strong fighting power. Moreover, when the team is doing such tactical discussions, it is basically not disturbed by the outside world.
When the discussion was finally over, Yu Songyuan nodded apologetically to the team leader and gave Mao Yankai a cigarette. He knew what Mao Yankai meant here, so he quickly shifted his thinking from the Caribbean to West Asia, "Team leader, does the trading company have business with the Mediterranean?" Could it be a competitor in the arms trade? ”
"There is business. We do not have an office in Pantelleria in the Mediterranean, but we have a branch in Southern Europe. It is also difficult to say whether it is a competitor of other countries, and we have a competitive relationship with the flat-bottomed fleets of several countries in the Middle East and countries bordering the Mediterranean, but the competition is not great. Because the main business at present is to transport arms from Chinese mainland to Karachi. Mao Yankai said.
"In other words, this email attack was specially sent to this island, and it was aimed at our brother team." Yu Songyuan said with certainty, "So, who is warning us?" Although I don't know who the opponent is, there should be a tentative action after the warning. It is recommended to postpone the attack, stand still on the surface, wait and see what happens, and secretly and carefully investigate. Of course, trading companies will be more vigilant. ”
Mao Yankai nodded in agreement, "It seems that I was a little too hasty in the attack. Peshawar is not over, and it is not completely peaceful here, so let's remove the threat here. ”
Yu Songyuan walked to the sand table of the "Inoue Road Map", Mao Yankai took the reclining Buddha and looked at it carefully, and said, "This is a beautiful cultural relic from the Kushan Empire, a slave country in the 1st to 3rd centuries AD, when Peshawar was the center of Buddhist culture in Central Asia and Southwest Asia. Unfortunately, the Kushan Empire later collapsed, and the glorious Buddhist culture was destroyed. But many of the artifacts buried in the ground have been preserved. ”
Yu Songyuan analyzed, "What do these three points mean by the hill in the northwest of the old city, the 'Lord's Summer' hotel, and the University of Peshawar? March is the time when the 'Signal Flag' first arrives in Peshawar. If my estimate is correct, it should have been Molotov who discovered an antiquities theft syndicate and seized them on this hill northwest of the old city. And this hotel is a temporary hiding place for the bandits as tourists. The arrows point to the University of Peshawar, and perhaps they are eyeing the artifacts there. ”
Mao Yankai said, "You want to investigate the summer hotel? Do you think the person who stole the artifacts could have something to do with the attacker? ”
"Yes. You think, Molotov was a professional KGB agent, but he was also a professional soldier, and he had no interest in antiquities. Weishenme suddenly cared so much about cultural relics, what kind of trick is this Inoue, what does this road map reflect, I want to find out. This thing was found in the Summer Palace, and must be connected to our mission. Yu Songyuan said with certainty.
Mao Yankai said, "The caterpillar has repeatedly told me that I must believe in your battlefield feeling. I agree with your analysis, so let's put a break on the Khyber Pass and investigate this 'road map' first. At the same time, we need to strengthen the protection of trading companies, and I am worried that they may be attacked in the near future. ”
"Don't worry, boss, we've raised the security level of the trading company, so let them come over." Lin Tao said with a grin.
The Abar Trading Company is not afraid of direct attacks, and its main business in Peshawar is arms trading, and every employee can fight. No matter how strong the "Lightning" is, it will not be hard to fight for its life. Spies don't dare, intelligence agents are okay to engage in some small business of "stealing chickens and touching dogs", and it is even more impossible for the brothers to fight directly knowing that the brother team is in charge of the trading company.
The email attack incident made Yu Songyuan have a feeling. This is not the style of "signal flag", no matter who the other party is, does it dare to "fight with open fire" to surround the door and sneak attack?
