Two days later, just as all the members of the Dongfeng Corps arrived and began to carry out adaptive training with the cooperation of Suhaier, the prisoner handover plan was officially launched.

As a result of negotiations between the Syrian government and the Free Army, or more accurately, with NATO, they will release all designated personnel, including members of the 24 STS team, MI6 agents, and the recently captured Morris, in one go.

This is clearly a rather "loose" trading condition, and even, in a sense, a bit too loose.

If it is according to Chen Shen's suggestion, the Syrian government should at least divide the prisoners into three batches, and for each batch exchanged, it will ask NATO for a little benefit, and at the same time, it can continue to delay and prolong its own preparation time.

However, since the Syrian government has already made its own choice, it is impossible for him to blindly intervene.

Because in fact, even if he is deeply involved in the Syrian war, his control of the overall situation is still not as good as that of the Syrian official.

Perhaps, some decisions that seem quite stupid have their own reasons for having to choose.

The huge temperature difference in the desert made the people lurking here motionless miserable, and Chen Shen's arm, which had not yet recovered, even began to ache a little.

"Hey"

Intermittent artillery strikes.

"In fact, they have already made public the details of the mission of the 24 STS in Syria-—— just yesterday."

At their average rate of three minutes, the identity verification step alone takes more than half an hour.

It's a fairly simple, but also rather boring job.

"Before the official start of the handover, our side will arrange artillery in advance to aim at the scheduled handover area and conduct a round of test firing."

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

There is no poison gas, there is no White Helmets, there is no humanitarian crisis.

All the prisoners were put on a prisoner van with their heads covered and departed from Aleppo to the handover site.

"They chose the former between ideological subversion and increased support from the military."

And it was at this glance that his expression changed greatly.

At the very least, it would maintain the formal and legal compliance of the U.S. and NATO operations in Syria.

——

The only thing that needs to be blamed is JSOC.

Chen Shen sighed and did not continue to ask.

"To put it bluntly, this is an infighting between USAGM and the U.S. military."

Security is safe, but if this plan is followed, the interests of the Syrian government cannot be guaranteed at all!

The captives were handed over, their own people were withdrawn, and then what?

"There's no reason or need for them to tear up the agreement, right?"

"Turn on the radio! Let the convoy withdraw early! ”

Sitting in the temporary operational command room, Su Haier pointed on the combat map while introducing the situation at the scene of the prisoner handover.

I have to say that there must be high-ranking people behind the Syrian officials, and they are not much worse than the USAGM in terms of manipulating public opinion and building momentum.

Then, as long as the government personnel are evacuated to Taylor Rifat, the whole thing can be declared over.

"However, they are not targeting us."

Suhail shook his head and explained:

"We'll live stream the handover process from start to finish."

Because the Syrian official has too much black material in the hands of the United States, once all these black materials are released, even with their control over the media, it is impossible to completely eliminate the impact.

"Are you kidding?! How could the U.S. let you go live publicly? ”

"Anyway, let's just do our own thing, 1 hour at most, and this mission will be over."

"Anyway, this should be a once. Simple task. ”

"There is a difference."

Very smart.

Ten minutes later, the government convoy also departed from the temporary cantonment two kilometers away and headed for the target handover position.

"So what do we need to do?"

But either way, it's essentially a "cut".

"I won't."

"Gunshot!"

Theoretically, they should have blocked the news at all costs – doesn't that officially their purpose of actively promoting the release of the captives by the Syrian authorities?

Looking at Chen Shen's puzzled expression, Su Haier nodded solemnly, and then said:

They arrived ahead of the Syrian government forces, as planned, and carried out a comprehensive inspection of the handover site.

Hearing the white dog's words, Chen Shen couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Chen Shen was shocked, he had been busy training for the past two days, and he really didn't care about the so-called "changes in the international situation".

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask:

"This handover plan has no binding effect on the Free Army, they can completely tear up the agreement reached in the early stage after the prisoners are in their hands, you don't know the Free Army, don't you know the Americans?"

"If you want me to say, the Syrian side should directly pull people to Taylor Rifat and throw them on the front line."

The white dog said honestly.

Everything went on step by step, and the white dog lying beside Chen Shen gently blew away the dust from his mouth, and then complained:

"Put yourself in your shoes, if it were you, would you be so short-sighted?"

"The ceasefire agreement you want has no chance of being enforced, so what is the difference between you doing this and releasing the prisoners directly?"

Suhail replied briefly:

Therefore, the bigger the battle, the more "like that", and the more "in line with the perception of ordinary people", the better it will be for them.

At this point in time in 2011, when the term of the US president is about to expire, he is about to face a challenge from Romney, and any negative news released at this time is extremely detrimental to him.

——

In this way, the validity period of the "gentleman's agreement" between the two sides can actually last until at least 5 months?

Whether or not to disclose the details of the 24 STS's operation, although on the surface it is only a very simple choice, there are still too many things hidden behind it, too deep.

At this time, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning, and the temperature was gradually rising, but fortunately, the emotions of both parties were relatively restrained, and there was no pointless dispute due to the irritability caused by the high temperature.

12 hours ago, Chen Shen had already led the team to the handover site and completed the lurking 600 meters away from the handover point.

But at this moment, the whistling of shells was already heard in the air.

But fortunately, the handover time is approaching, and from the telescope, Chen Shen has already seen the personnel of the Free Army who arrived in advance.

"Got it"

In a sense, this can even be seen as the second major strategic defeat of the United States in the Middle East, following Andrea's death.

Without actively exposing it, even if the United States has zenith-level technology, it is impossible to detect their traces from the sky.

"After all, everyone needs to take a little time when it comes to this point."

"But I dare say that even the stupidest and stupidest person would not make themselves unhappy at such a time."

After confirming that there were no ambushers and preparing for evacuation, they contacted government forces on a specific radio frequency.

I see.

After figuring out this joint, Chen Shen instantly felt that the series of negotiations between Syria and NATO during this period had a basis.

The white dog couldn't help but sigh, and after a few seconds of silence, he continued to ask:

"Isn't the Syrian side worried that someone will take the opportunity to disrupt the handover operation? I mean, they're live and public, and if a third party wants to do something, they're too flawed."

A large number of armed men were parked 500 meters away, the helicopters provided by the Turkish side had already arrived, and logically speaking, the US early warning planes were also on standby, completely clearing the airspace and making sufficient preparations for the handover of prisoners.

The muscles of his whole body tensed instantly, and then, almost subconsciously, his eyes leaned towards the scope and quickly aimed at the location of the flash.

This cut means that the war in Syria has been going on so far, and all the advantages accumulated by both sides in the field of public opinion have been wiped out.

"They're crazy?"

"Yes."

Gee

JSOC is behind the pot, isn't it the president who is behind the pot?

Chen Shen snorted, and then explained:

"At this time, if a third party intervenes to disrupt the prisoner handover, then he will become the common enemy of the United States and Syria on the spot."

"Or to put it more concretely, they are defending the so-called 'justice' of the rebels at all costs."

"The Syrian government wants someone to wreak havoc, because that would mean much less pressure on themselves."

He could feel that there really shouldn't be a problem with the handover of prisoners this time.

It's only been a few days, and his opponent has already made such a major decision?

After confirming their identities, the responsible persons of the two sides disarmed and entered the handover site first, and then several buses carrying the prisoners entered the venue, and all the prisoners got off the bus, and the responsible persons of the Free Army began to check their identities one by one.

Three bursts in a row, the distant flash disappeared.

Could it be Maozi?!

Yes, as long as bin Laden is dead, the importance of these negative news in the hands of Syria will naturally decrease.

A day later, the ceremony was officially launched under the full broadcast of Syrian state media.

They themselves are putting on a show, and the important thing is not to return the captives, but to return them in full view.

Thinking of this, Chen Shen coughed and continued to ask:

"If the other side has any intention of evacuating early beyond the limited area, we will use dense artillery fire to cover the handover area and kill all prisoners and the other side's handover personnel."

"In accordance with the agreement reached by both parties, we will complete the handover in a no-man's land 6 kilometers northwest of Taylor Rifat."

"Of course, if the situation changes, you also need to provide the necessary cover for the people involved."

"They will not be able to leave until our personnel have been successfully evacuated to Taylor Rifat and given the command signal."

It seems that the internal political situation in the United States has also begun to be turbulent.

"They have indeed made public the details of the operation of the 24 STS."

Thinking of this, Chen Shen opened his mouth and said:

"I don't understand this, the outcome of many things is important, but the process is equally important."

"You don't need to be involved in the battle, you just need to make observations and provide guidance to the artillerymen."

Everything went smoothly, and only five minutes later, Chen Shen could already see the convoy of government troops in his sight.

In fact, the prisoner exchange process this time was indeed different from the prisoner exchange mechanism that he was familiar with in his previous life, but he understood the Syrian government's thinking very well.

This is just a misunderstanding caused by the JD actions of the JD molecules, and after the misunderstanding, what should everyone do, or continue to do it.

At least on Lao Mei's side, there shouldn't be a problem.

"Don't they walk without feet? Or is it that the United States is afraid that Syria will temporarily regret and kill people? That's."

What they want is here, but what about what you want?

"This will ensure our safety to the greatest extent possible, and it is also necessary to ensure that the terms of the transaction between the two parties are successfully met."

So, he no longer bothered about the background of the task, but leaned back in his chair relaxedly, nodded and said:

"Then leave it to us."

Chen Shen no longer bothered him, and at this time, the handover of prisoners had reached the final stage.

"You know what."

"These people are too abrasive, what else is there to check at this time, they are all state-level forces, and the prisoner exchange is still like a gangster deal, is it necessary?"

The process was quite lengthy, as each person they checked had to be reported by radio succession, and after receiving a confirmed response, they could move on to the next identity check.

As the sound of the engine faded away, only the sound of the wind blew in the desert.

——

However, at this moment, Chen Shen suddenly saw an inexplicable flash of light appear on the sand dunes in the distance.

When the words fell, everyone in the combat command room nodded, but Chen Shen, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help but have some doubts.

"According to them, the 24 STS carried out only a conventional anti-terrorist operation, and they were only involved in the conflict between government forces and rebels because of the change in the situation in Syria."

Politics is sometimes really much more complicated than a straight fight.

They are covered in desert camouflage suits with a tin foil layer underneath them to block infrared signals.

"Boom!"

Chen Shen nodded slowly.

Are they crazy?!

This thought flashed through Chen Shen's heart, and then, in the open space less than a hundred meters away from the handover site, an explosion suddenly sounded.

"Once the handover begins, our personnel will be evacuated in the direction of Taylor Rifat after the release of the prisoners, while the other party will have to wait within our limits in the handover area."

Chen Shen watched the government convoy go away with a little nervousness, and then looked back at the free army at the junction.

The Syrian government drivers all got out of the car, and the Free Army EOD personnel carried out a full inspection of the vehicle, after which all the personnel got into the car and waited, and the government personnel began to evacuate the handover site.

"And at some point, the process is more important than the result."

the groove.

"Surveillance."

"I need a special operations team to ambush the handover area in advance and stay dormant until the handover process is over."

"But I don't think that's going to happen."

As the words fell, his fingers had already pulled the trigger.

Acknowledging that the 24th STS entered Syria and that the 24th STS was captured is not as simple as "admitting the operational defeat of the special forces".

That's it.

Chen Shen jumped up, and then shouted loudly:

"Search for enemy artillery scouts! Cover the evacuation of the captives! ”
