Chapter 53 [Newcomer, Old Man, Retirement]
The geography and climate of Southeast Asian countries are similar, Myanmar and neighboring Vietnam are both tropical monsoon climates, not only have large areas of tropical rainforest, but also full of countless dangers, poisonous insect miasma abounds, no one knows how many jungle killers are hidden in this tropical rainforest, and it is still difficult to carry out tasks in this environment.
So when he heard that the mission location was in Myanmar, Gu Ren's eyes flashed with a bright light, and he was a little looking forward to the next mission in the tropical rainforest.
"Look, here's a picture of the local area that I got somebody." Captain Barney pulled out his laptop and clicked on a photo from the file, which was a map of the landscape taken from a satellite.
"In the rainforest?" Christmas Jason frowned, he didn't expect the rescued hostages to be trapped in the rainforest.
Ever since the Vietnam War, the U.S. military has had a fear of the rainforest, a fear that has been passed down from the top down in the military from the 70s to the present day, and all recruits have heard stories of the rainforest from veterans.
"Yes, so this mission is a bit dangerous, not just the rainforest......"
Barney glanced around and opened another image, "This is the kidnapper, the locals call him General Danto, he is a powerful local warlord who controls two jade mines in southeastern Burma, and he has built an armed force of thousands of men, and according to the credible information I have gathered, they are very firepower." ”
"Armed with thousands?"
Caesar's eyes widened in surprise and he said, "Oh my God, this task is very difficult. ”
"No, it's not that it's difficult, it's that it's impossible to do at all."
Highway Randy shook his head, the last time he raided the island of Verana, hundreds of armed forces almost left them all there, and now he is facing a warlord with thousands of subordinates, and a heavy firepower configuration, which is not at all something that they can solve with only a seven-person team of mercenaries.
"The task is very difficult, but our goal is not this warlord, but to free the hostages."
Barney never took on tasks they couldn't complete, and the last time he raided the island of Verana, the difficulty was actually not very high, and being surrounded could only be said to be unlucky, and he couldn't solve the battle as soon as possible.
But this time the mission was different.
"Because of the melee of the local warlords, in order to protect his two jade mines, most of the military forces are guarding these two ore veins, and he himself is also in a jade mine, so the number of enemies we face on this trip is not very large. And as far as I know, the kidnapping of the hostages this time was not the work of General Dantuo, but one of his subordinates named Tunqin, who took a fancy to the huge jade that the hostages had opened and wanted to get his hands on it. ”
Barney opened another picture, pointed to a building on the picture and said: "You see, this is an old city area controlled by General Dantuo, which is a trading market dedicated to trading jadeite, and our hostages are hiding in the abandoned factories in the innermost part of the city, and the people here are all Tunqin's subordinates, there are not many people, only about a hundred, we can easily get into it as long as we pretend to be jadeite traders." ”
"And how do we evacuate?" Li Jie touched his chin, he now has a plan to retire, and he is ready to go back to his hometown to open a travel agency after a few votes, and the bounty for this mission can be shared by everyone of nearly three million US dollars, which undoubtedly accelerates Li Jie's idea of retirement, so he decided to talk to the captain later, and he will go home after doing this vote, since he is going to retire, the most important thing must be safety.
Barney opened another picture, which was a map of the area, and he pointed to a red line drawn in advance and said: "After we rescued the hostages, we quickly bypassed the rainforest and then left by transport plane from the Mekong River." ”
After explaining the two most important steps of rescue and evacuation in detail, and after confirming that everyone had no objections, Barney clapped his palms and said: "Okay, this mission is like this, I know that this mission is very dangerous, so I specially got another sniper, he will probably arrive tomorrow, and then Hawkeye, you will lead the newcomer to meet us in the rainforest." ”
Newcomer?
"Okay captain."
Gu Ren touched his nose, he didn't expect that there would be a newcomer so soon, so he would become an old man of the death squad after only two missions, it was quite interesting to think about.
……
After the team meeting, Caesar and Randy hooked up and prepared to go to the nightclub to have a fun, before coming to Thailand, they had already found a little interesting game on the Internet, thinking about having fun on the eve of the mission, after all, the danger of doing a line is still quite high, and timely fun is their daily standard.
The captain and Christmas got together, and it seems that they are still discussing whether the plan of this mission needs to be improved, don't look at what you just said, as long as you carry out the steps, you can successfully complete the task, but you are always facing a group of local warlords, and it is always good to be careful.
Seeing that everyone had their own things to do, Li Jie made a look, and Gu Ren followed behind him clearly.
The two walked out of the hotel one after the other, and soon arrived at a famous local night market.
Stopped at a barbecue stand, ordered some skewers and a few bottles of local beer.
Before the skewers came up, Li Jie opened the cap of the bottle with chopsticks, handed Gu Ren a bottle, opened another bottle himself, and drank it in a big gulp.
"Comfortable! The weather in Thailand is so hot and humid that it's hard not to drink some cold beer. After drying most of the half a bottle of cold beer, Li Jie's dry heart caused by the weather finally eased a lot, and he breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Ah Ren, after this mission, I am ready to retire." ”
"Retirement? Brother Jie, are you serious? Although he knew that Li Jie had already thought of retiring, when faced with this sentence, Gu Ren was still surprised, and wondered why it was so sudden.
"Actually, I have wanted to retire for a long time, and after working for a few years, my health is not as good as before, not to mention, the main thing is that I am rich, and my courage has become smaller."
Li Jie said very bluntly the reason for retirement, he is afraid of death if he is rich.
Gollum took another big sip of beer, and he continued: "I originally wanted to take advantage of the breath to do it a few more times and make more money to go back to invest in the travel agency, but with your shares, plus this mission each person can share at least two or three million, I just thought that I could retire early and retire early, didn't the captain just say that another new person was recruited?" I think he must have seen the idea of retiring a long time ago, so he brought another person in. ”
Li Jie guessed correctly, Barney saw early on that he had the idea of retiring, so when Li Jie recommended Gu Ren to join the death squad, Barney agreed without hesitation, thinking that Li Jie could also connect seamlessly after leaving.
Unexpectedly, Gunner was disgusted by the team because of drug abuse, and betrayed them mercilessly, and then disappeared on the island, and the number of people in the team suddenly became seven.
Considering that Li Jie may propose to leave at any time, it will be very inconvenient to carry out the mission once the number of people is small, and Barney can only look for new people again, and it just so happens that this time the task is very difficult, so he recruited a young man with very good marksmanship to join.
"It's good to retire, so that I can take care of the travel agency in peace." Gu Ren grinned, picked up the wine bottle and said, "Then I'll leave the affairs of the travel agency to you, Brother Jie, I definitely have little time to take care of it." ”
"Haha, don't worry, I'll take care of the travel agency! The business license has been applied, and it will be issued after a while, and I will still come to the United States to run business at that time. ”
Li Jie laughed and raised the wine bottle to touch it with Gu Ren, and the two of them drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp.
