Chapter 47 The Rescue Mission

Lin Rui and the other team members stood still, waiting for Fernandez's lecture.

The training hall at Shendao base made him feel a little dull. The projector in front shows a chart of an unknown sea. Lin Rui was not used to Fernandez's silence, and he was not even used to it without his roaring voice. But he also knew that once Fernandez stopped yelling, something must have happened.

Fernandez still looked at everyone silently, took out a piece of paper after a while, and shouted in a deep voice. "Order!"

Lin Rui and other team members immediately stood at attention. They didn't really have to because they were mercenaries and had no military discipline to ask for, but Fernandez liked that for them. Because he begged them to look more like real soldiers.

"Relax." Fernandez said coldly. He folded his legs behind his back, and his gnarled muscles were tense. From the looks of it, he seemed a little nervous.

That made Lin Rui nervous too.

Fernandez walked to the podium, "Good morning, soldiers, he has a message. Under the order of Toutonda, he decided to test our combat skills. We have a new target: a pirate base in the Gulf of Aden."

The projector projected a sea chart behind him, and then zoomed in so that everyone could clearly see a small island in the picture. "There are four groups of pirates active in Somali waters. Among them, the most threatening one is Abadi Efuya, who claims to be the commander of the Somali Marine Corps. That is a notorious pirate who killed the crew in 2006. In 2008, he hijacked the Chinese fishing boat Tianyu 8, hijacked a Ukrainian cargo ship carrying a large number of munitions such as main battle tanks, and the Saudi Arabian giant oil tanker Sirius. Deakin Island is not his nest.”

A strategic map appeared on the screen, dotted with small icons representing islands and reefs. "There are more than a dozen small islands there." Fernandez continued, "Efua used this to avoid the attack of the army, and it has been dying until tomorrow. For a long time, some people thought that those pirate ports were stragglers, lack of organization, and not Threatening again. However, things have changed recently.

"There is evidence that one of the small islands has been developed and that they have built a base in it. After the search forces entered the area, they encountered heavy fire without finding anything. MI has evidence that Somalia's external There was a security breach—someone who sympathized with the pirates was passing them information. Not surprisingly, the locals were never reliable. Those people either denounced the pirates or the pirates’ families.”

Fernandez dragged the picture on the display, and a picture appeared on the map: a black man with thinning hair and a messy beard.

"That's the head of the pirates," Fernandez explained, "General Abdi Efuya. Is that from an official Somali photo? Whether it's authentic or not. That guy is in big trouble. During a kidnapping, he kidnapped a person with a special identity."

"Our task is to infiltrate the pirate base, find the kidnapped person, and take him to the territory controlled by the Somali military. Please ensure that he is alive and not harmed."

Fernandez let out a breath, loosened his wrists clasped behind his back, and cleared his throat. "This operation is not like the previous ones, we will fight the enemy with real guns and bullets. As I wronged them, they wronged us. If there is any doubt or confusion - try not to make that mistake, although in combat always There will be things that confuse us—don't take your chances. Kill first, ask questions later."

"The support they can provide is limited to the ammunition and supplies on the island," Fernandez continued. "That will minimize the possibility of leaks."

As Fernandez walked up to the projector, the face of General Abdi Efuya disappeared, replaced by blueprints of a cargo ship.

"While they are quite unable to determine the exact location of the pirate base, they can determine where it regularly receives supplies. The cargo ship, the Goat, which is not affiliated with any company, will leave the port of Mogadishu in six hours. It ships The food and water is enough to meet the needs of the pirates. Also, the captain has also been confirmed not to be from Evera. We beg to sneak on board, take a boat to their base, sneak into the base, rescue the hostages, and then try to get out of that damned Small island."

He initially said: "What's the problem?"

"Sir," Lin Rui asked, "how should they evacuate?"

"We have two choices: one is whether to press the emergency button arranged in advance to send a signal, and the local warlords will come to meet us. The other is to go directly to Shen Island, and they will stay in a predetermined sea area... but there is no limit The time limit is thirteen hours." He pointed to Yidong's map, and a blue mark appeared in the southern waters on the side of the small island, "We can choose ourselves. But he must point out that the island in that sea area Reefs are complicated ... even MIA couldn't do a blanket search. So when things get tough, we're on our own."

"Is there a problem?"

The team stood still in silence.

"Not anymore? Very good. Listen, rookies." Fernandez added, "That time he told us everything he knew. Be prepared to deal with any situation," he looked at Zhao Jianfei, "Zhao Jianfei, I'm the captain now .I must bring that hostage back safely, along with my team members."

"No, sir!" Zhao Jianfei replied calmly.

"Distribute equipment and weapons. Assemble in an hour. They'll release us at the port in Mogadishu, and we'll be on our own after that."

"Zuo Ming, Chang Gong. " Zhao Jianfei replied.

Fernandez saluted and left the room.

Zhao Jianfei looked back at his team members, "Lin Rui, Ivan, Yelena, we will meet him at the armory in ten minutes. General, I have a more serious task: wait there, familiarize yourself with the tasks in my legs Briefing. He needs my professional advice."

The combat equipment displayed in Shendao's arsenal is dazzling. A table is full of guns, daggers, communicators, explosives, medical kits, survival equipment, laptop computers, diving equipment and even a miniature diving propeller that can be used in Shuidong.

His team is more important than equipment, Zhao Jianfei always thinks so.

Yelena, with her legs crossed across her chest, was standing in a corner. She still looks very slender and beautiful, with soft golden hair, but her face has a wild charm. She organized the weapons and equipment familiarly, disassembled a sniper weapon and put it into a waterproof bag. She has always been the quietest of the bunch. She has pale skin, golden hair and green eyes. She has excellent marksmanship and can be called an artist in the field of sniper shooting.

Ivan crossed his legs, UU read www.uukanshu. com walked on the stool, turning a sharp dagger. At any time, the British special forces soldier was as thick and strong as a rock, and as silent as a rock. The weapons he chose were automatic rifles and pistols, and because of the stealthy operations, the weapons he chose were equipped with silencers.

Lin Rui went around the table and picked up a set of extremely smooth black one-piece diving suit. His number was embroidered on the chest of the suit. "Is that their new training uniform? They don't wear that to battle, do they?"

"Provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau," Zhao Jianfei explained, "the diving suit is very diving equipment. It is not the best, but it is enough."

They've used that black tights before. It is modified, made of light polymer material, and sealed well. The only downside is that it's not very comfortable to wear.

"Too tight." Ivan frowned. "It would hinder his movement."

"They had to wear those things for that mission." Zhao Jianfei told him, "It's very likely that the cargo ship will not dock, but deliver supplies by small boats. So they must be ready to dive to the island. Yu Dong's , We can bring whatever we want... but we must make it light. In that ghost place, they don't have any reconnaissance data, so we need to move as fast as possible... otherwise we will die."

The whole team began to organize their weapons.
