Lin Rui nodded, but was a little puzzled, "You mean, we are going to stop the terrorists' poaching operations?"

"It's not realistic to stop poaching. In such a large area, we can't stop organized poaching by terrorists. But we can turn poachers into prey." Silver Wolf turned to look at Lin Rui.

"Talk about it." Lin Rui nodded.

Silver Wolf thought for a while and said, "The Garamba National Park near Naglo Village in the Republic of Congo, Africa is the last habitat of the wild white rhino in the north. In 2007, someone saw this rare animal here for the last time.

In addition, Garamba National Park is also a habitat for elephants, giraffes, bison, hippos, leopards and lions. Unfortunately, the government of the Republic of Congo is unable to manage this park. In this jungle the size of Connecticut in the United States, only 130 rangers hired by the international non-governmental organization Africa Parks manage it.

Terrorists who are active in Central Africa against the Ugandan government are also very active in Garamba National Park. The organization surpasses park rangers in terms of number and firepower. The Ugandan army in charge of fighting them could not enter the Republic of Congo.

The army of the Republic of Congo is usually in a situation of lack of funds and food, unable to fight against these terrorists, which makes these terrorists in this area like a fish in water. Garamba National Park manager Luis Elands said that these poachers behaved like the owners of the park and they knew the park better than the locals. "

Lin Rui nodded and said, "In other words, there is more than one terrorist organization engaged in poaching activities there."

Silver Wolf nodded and said. "We have obtained precise information. Some of the forces of many terrorist organizations have set up camps in Garamba National Park. They often go to nearby villages to raid, rob food and daily necessities, use boys as child soldiers, and girls use them. Every month, members of the terrorist organization rob bicycles or motorcycles from Naglo Village, and transport crates of beer or bags of flour and beans to the market.

Some defectors of the organization told the French intelligence service that the order to poach the elephants came directly from their leader Joseph.

Not long ago, the rangers went to check a group of elephants and they found a group of people in the park somewhere to communicate in the language of northern Uganda. Later, the rangers were attacked by this group of people. The next day, the rangers returned to the scene and found several bags of elephant meat and elephant corpses without ivory.

The French launched a "satellite sentry project" and launched a fact-finding mission to send a group of intelligence personnel to Garamba National Park to learn more about terrorist organizations' involvement in elephant poaching. In the subsequent investigation report, through interviews with eyewitnesses, the investigation report concluded that at least four terrorist organizations are poaching elephants to maintain daily supplies and trading ivory to obtain food and weapons. "

Lin Rui frowned, "So, their poaching behavior has been going on for some time, and there should be a fixed camp nearby."

"Yes, their first camp was discovered for the first time in April. It is located in a deep valley and is covered by a thick canopy. The forest ranger revealed that members of the terrorist organization who were guarding the tree discovered the Garamba country one day. A road grader in the park mistakenly used this large yellow machine as a military assault vehicle and notified the other members of the escape.

When the rangers came here for the first time, they even found a steaming pot full of meat, which proves how hurried the terrorists escaped.

A young woman who had escaped from this camp told the rangers that more than 200 militants and 60 women and children lived here. Some other defectors claimed that the camp had been used for five months.

These defectors told intelligence agents how the terrorists traded in illegal ivory. Although the details of how ivory entered the black market are not yet clear, the defectors revealed that terrorists often poached elephants in the Republic of Congo, and then moved the ivory through the Central African Republic. Ship to the leader of their organization.

In order to avoid being caught, the leaders of terrorist organizations hide in the border areas of Central African Republic, South Sudan, and Darfur where there is no legal jurisdiction, and often change their hiding places.

A defector revealed that terrorists had traded ivory with "Arab merchants" and Sudanese army officials in exchange for cash, guns, drugs, and food. Rangers said that people who had escaped from these terrorist organizations had told them that they had seen white helicopters land in the park, trading ivory with terrorist organizations.

Recently, the price of ivory continues to hit new highs, which continues to encourage armed groups like similar to participate. International non-governmental organizations announced after investigations that the poaching crisis in Central Africa has been deepening: In the 1970s, there were 20,000 elephants in Garamba National Park, and today there are only 1,800 to 2,500 elephants left. The rangers suspect that in addition to local terrorists, other armed groups from Congo, Sudan, South Sudan, and Uganda are involved in poaching. "Yinlang nodded.

"Where are the camps of these terrorist organizations, and what specific news is there at the moment? If we want to deal with them, it is best to start with their camps and destroy their camps, so that members of these terrorist organizations cannot form organized poaching. The harm has also been reduced to the lowest level." Lin Rui thought for a while and said.

"This behavior has been going on for some time. Now, in order to track and stop highly organized and heavily armed poachers, the international community has made real efforts. Radar technology can be used to monitor terror in the jungles of the Republic of Congo. Organize camps, infrared sensors can detect hidden campfires and militants.

Ground intelligence should be better shared, including better use of data collected from elephant tracking collars, combining it with satellite images, aerial surveillance, and topographic maps to help us better predict terrorist organizations’ plans to establish camps, Attack the village and poach the location of elephants. "Yinlang opened the computer and said.

"Have you found anything?" Lin Rui walked over and looked at the map on the computer.

"There are three large camps, the largest of which has three to four hundred people, armed with trucks, machine guns, and rocket launchers. Not to mention that forest rangers are not opponents. Even if government troops are sent in the past, they may not be able to take advantage." Silver Wolf pointed to the map. On the road.

"It seems that they are fully prepared to use poaching as a major means of collecting money. If we destroy these camps, their sources of income will be restricted and they will rely more on the financial assistance of the secret society. Increase the demand. And this kind of demand will also increase the pressure on the secret society organization." Lin Rui whispered.
