Chapter 392: New Bolivia (Part I)
It seems that he also realizes that this is an ominous night, and after nightfall in La Paz, the sky is full of dark clouds, and even the air seems to have some oppressive unhappiness.
Yuri barely put on a bulletproof vest, looked down at his bulging belly, and took a muffled puff on his cigar.
Transferred from the military to the CIA, he still has some combat ability compared to most civilian agents in the CIA.
Well, just a little.
In fact, he has been out of the field for a long time since he was promoted to senior agent and began to be responsible for selling stolen goods for the CIA.
Especially in the last six months, Yuri's life in Rio is called a paper fan and extravagant enjoyment, even if it is not at the level of the legendary wine pond meat/forest, it is not much worse.
Now the six-pack abs that could still be faintly seen in his lower abdomen have grown into a ball, and his belly is even bigger than in the past.
If it weren't for the fact that tonight's events were too important, he wouldn't even want to appear on the battlefield for fear of death.
“…… Boss, get ready! ”
A tall, sturdy African-American mercenary approached, his name was Dibham, an African-Brazilian, whose ancestors may have been black slaves who had been looted and brought to Brazil during the Great Voyage, but unlike the pure-blooded African-Americans who had been smuggled and immigrated in recent years, his complexion had changed from charcoal black to brown.
Yuri and the others are now in an abandoned military base arranged by Colonel Numar, about eighty-five kilometers from the city of La Paz.
Because it was the Precursor's order that came so suddenly, most of the mercenaries in the camp were already asleep, and after being suddenly shouted and informed of the early mutiny, these veterans who had served in the military in several different countries behaved very badly.
It took nearly two hours just to get dressed, organize the equipment, and assemble.
However, Yuri didn't care much about this, the Forerunners took some of the most difficult targets in the military mutiny, and if they still lost, they really wouldn't even be as good as garbage.
Flicking the ashes of his cigar, he looked at the groups of mercenaries who had gathered in the camp, and under the slightly dim light, they still looked like each other.
His eyes narrowed into a slit beautifully, and he nodded to his henchman with satisfaction, "Dibham, well done!" ”
Racial discrimination is not something that only one country has, it exists in almost any country on the planet, and the more Western countries have political systems, the worse they become.
Brazil's economy has deteriorated in recent years, but it is also a South American hegemon, and white Americans, as the main controllers of the country, are born with discrimination against immigrants of other races.
Poor African-American people like Tabam had a hard time, having served in the military in his early years to make ends meet, and after failing to get a job in the military and police, he had to return to his hometown, the slums of Rio, and sell his labor on the docks to make ends meet.
The security company is a good way out for people like Dibham who are not educated enough and have no doorway, not to mention that Yuri's salary is higher than that of other security companies.
At the beginning, many people, including Dibham, took refuge in him for treatment.
Although many people who were recruited into the security company by Yuri only found out about the mistake after getting on the black ship and taking his money, what if they found out.
Usually train your physical fitness, run, shoot guns, eat and drink well every day, and the salary is higher than that of many office workers in Rio, and a fool will leave.
Even if he later transferred personnel from the security company, saying that he had received a commission to hire a military mutiny soldier to participate in a coup d'état in a neighboring country, many people took the initiative to join.
There is no way, it can only be said that money is confusing.
Regardless of whether the mission is successful or not, everyone who participates will immediately receive a $20,000 settling-in payment, and if the coup is successful, there will be $30,000 to go.
And the target is still Bolivia, which is one of the lowest military forces in South America, which is not difficult to explain how Yuri managed to get his men.
With a snap of his fingers, the two men immediately focused the two spotlights on themselves.
Yuri instantly felt a myriad of eyes all looking at him, and he didn't have the slightest stage fright, throwing his cigar to the ground, he took a shouting microphone and turned it on and held it in one hand, holding a brand-new AK-74 rifle in the other, with a malicious smile on his face.
“…… I won't say much nonsense, we are here today because we were hired to participate in a coup d'état that decided the fate of a country...... You should be lucky that your boss is me, and I lack nothing but arms and dollars...... Of course, I also feel very lucky because my boss told me just now...... Tonight's coup d'état will be successful, and there will be another force involved in the coup d'état, so we don't need to participate in any fighting except for taking over the parliament building, the national television, the Ministry of the Interior, the airport and the railway station......"
In the barracks, there was a lot of noise and noise.
Yuri snorted impatiently, "...... Quiet......
Only a few of his subordinates knew that the Precursors existed, and the vast majority of them still didn't know who they were working for.
Yuri didn't bother to explain, and his eyes swept over the mercenaries who had gradually quieted down, and finally landed on the dozens of military trucks and infantry fighting vehicles parked next to the barracks, and the hand holding the weapon waved forward.
"Follow the changed plan, act!"
……
The noisy barracks hide a lot of things.
The Precursor activated the optical stealth device, and stood indifferently in the barracks.
Controlling Bolivia is an important part of the master's plan, and once it is controlled, it means that the forces controlled by Sun Cheng will begin to expand on this intelligent planet called Earth.
Therefore, there must be no room for error in the first step.
The military mutiny must succeed!
As Yuri announced the start of the operation, infantry fighting vehicles and military trucks brought in from various channels quickly left the abandoned barracks and headed for the city of La Paz.
The forerunner was not in a hurry to set off, and he was trying his best to imitate his master in every way, and after replacing the new mech, his changing form was not the various types of vehicles often chosen by the Decepticons and Autobot warriors who like hand-to-hand combat, but the same aerial form as Sun Cheng.
Although the four-hour time he had agreed with Yuri was not yet up, Yuri and the others had to leave early.
In order not to be exposed, Colonel Numar deliberately chose this abandoned base far from the city to house the mercenaries, which reduced the possibility of exposure, but also increased the marching distance.
After waiting in the base for more than half an hour, Yu mentally calculated Yuri's voyage and calculated the direction they could almost reach, and the forerunner knew that it was time for him to go.
The waves on his body flickered slightly, and after the optical stealth device was lifted, he corrected the target orientation to the satellite in the sky, and suddenly jumped up after a small step, and after the whole person experienced a dazzling change in the air at a height of more than ten meters, a slender but also very graceful conventional swept wing aircraft sprayed firelight and quickly rushed to the height above 10,000 meters.
The Mirage F-1D, a third-generation fighter developed and improved by Dassault of France (new standard), is exactly the change chosen by the forerunners after the replacement of the new airframe.
There is no way to choose it.
Both Decepticons and Autobots need to perform a comprehensive scan of the reference target before they can reassemble their bodies before determining their changing forms.
Unfortunately, the United States regards Latin America as its own backyard, so it has tried its best to suppress the military power of Central and South American countries, and there is no third country equipped with advanced things such as fourth-generation aircraft, except for Chile and Venezuela (both F-16).
Brazil once wanted to purchase the Mirage-2000 from France, but the business was intervened by the United States, and the cheaper third-generation aircraft Mirage F-1D was purchased instead.
Flying at a height of 10,000 meters, enjoying the howling wind constantly blowing over the airframe, the forerunner happily raised the speed and immediately entered the supersonic cruise.
Limited by the Mirage F-1D, the energy consumed and the drag he experienced when entering supersonic cruise was much greater than that of Sun Cheng.
However, this was just a hurry, and seeing that the lights of La Paz's bustling downtown were already faintly visible, he quickly withdrew from the cruise, and began to reduce his speed and altitude.
Bolivia is one of the most militarily powerful countries on the South American continent.
It has been at war with almost all the countries around it since its founding, so it has been tacitly suppressed by its neighbors, especially Chile and Paraguay, and almost every year the military exercises are aimed at Bolivia.
There is no access to the sea and the difficulty of transporting minerals abroad, the plateau terrain is inconvenient, the tourism industry is underdeveloped, the economic development is not up, and so on, and many internal and external factors are mixed together, resulting in the Bolivian military can obtain very limited military spending every year, and after the majority of it is used to pay the salaries and subsidies of the soldiers, there is no money to purchase advanced equipment except for picking up rags all over the world.
For example, Bolivia's air force is now only equipped with a few MiG-23s that will fall apart one day, and it was only purchased from China when the new president visited China at the beginning of this year, and the K-8 trainer aircraft will be delivered in 10 years, and it will be the main force of Bolivia's air force in the future......
Therefore, the forerunners also privately felt that their participation in the coup d'état was a serious waste.
When he was only seventeen kilometers away from the city, he had already descended to an altitude of 4,700 meters, La Paz's radar finally reacted, and felt that there was a detection wave shining on his body, and the forerunner did not care, and he was like a fifth-generation fighter in the form of the Mirage F-1, and two AS-14 air-to-surface missiles imported from Russia slowly stretched out from his lower belly cabin, and were quickly moved to the launch frame under the wings.
Then, without waiting for the air defense sirens in La Paz, the missiles turned into two fiery snakes in the dark night, one aimed at the position of the Bovian anti-aircraft guns four kilometers away from the presidential residence, and the other flew towards the temporary headquarters of the guard company near the official residence.
The fire and the sound of explosions immediately woke up the sleeping city, and before it could react, the forerunner, who drew a perfect arc in the air, fired two AS-14 air-to-surface missiles at the presidential residence again.
His mission is to wipe out the new president to ensure the paralysis of the country's administrative system, and as for the president's mansion to be bombed into ruins, he is in charge.
After identifying two AS-14 air-to-surface missiles and turning the presidential residence below into a sea of fire, the forerunner circled around the sea of fire a few times, corrected its orientation slightly, and then turned around and flew towards the next target.
……
The explosion and the sky-high fire were particularly eye-catching in the dark night.
At the same time, in the communication channel of Yuri's infantry fighting vehicle, an icy electronic voice sounded, "The presidential palace has been solved, four surface-to-surface missiles, there has become a sea of fire, no one will survive!" ”
Yuri knew that this was the forerunner, and although he was surprised by how he knew the communication channel of the vehicle he was in, he still picked up the walkie-talkie and replied: "Roger, Your Excellency, please keep up the good work!" ”
The forerunner did not answer him, and Yuri was not surprised, he signaled his subordinates to help open the reconnaissance skylight of the infantry fighting vehicle, revealing half of his body, raising his night vision binoculars to look at the explosion and fire in the city dozens of kilometers away, his face was full of intoxication.
"Alright, boys, our battle has begun!"
He quickly retracted into the infantry fighting vehicle, took the map from one of his men, looked at it a few times, and raised the walkie-talkie in his hand.
"Dibham, we'll be in the city in a few minutes. According to the previous plan, we will divide into two ways...... You lead a group of people to the parliament and the Ministry of the Interior, and take control of these two places as soon as possible......"
As he spoke, two more explosions were heard in the direction of the city, and then the cold voice of the Precursor interrupted his command, and resounded in the communication channel.
"The police headquarters has been blown up, I will go to destroy the ...... of the 732 regiment"
Yuri's voice froze, and after looking at several men in the chariot for a while, he raised the walkie-talkie again and slowly opened his mouth.
“…… Well, a battalion went with me to save Colonel Numar...... The second battalion is under the command of Dibham, and I hope to be able to end the fighting completely within two hours......"
"Collect ...... Roger that! ”
Dybham's voice soon came from the other side of the com, but it was the same as him, a little trilling.
He is one of the few of Yuri's subordinates who knows about the existence of the Precursor and has met with him, but Yuri doesn't reveal much about the existence of the Decepticons, only vaguely mentioning to his henchmen that these outsiders are the forces they really work with.
Tonight, even all those in the know, including Yuri himself, will have to re-understand the power they really serve, how powerful and terrifying they are.
Well, in the constant burning sea of fire in La Paz, and the constant sound of explosions.
