Battlefield Contractor

After some inspections, Lin Rui ordered the end of the search and all of them boarded the car. He understood that no more clues could be found in this place. It's better to go to the next location 20 kilometers away, there may be more gains in that village.

Before rushing to the village, a message came from Cobain. He analyzed the source of the canned ham based on the photo of the empty can provided by Lin Rui and others.

"It is printed in French, but in fact these cans are produced in Africa. Moreover, this manufacturer is a military contractor. Judging from the batch number on the cans, the batch of canned ham they produced is mainly used to provide To the French Army in Africa." Cobain replied.

"Is it the French Foreign Legion?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes. For more than 40 years, after the decolonization movement of French-speaking countries in Africa, France has woven a large network of tight control over Africa by concluding defense treaties, technical assistance treaties, and training troops, and is stationed in Africa. The military bases and French troops in southern France will respond quickly to any disturbance in Africa.

In order to legalize armed "intervention", France has signed defense agreements with 8 African countries, signed military cooperation agreements with 23 African countries, dispatched more than 100 military advisers to Africa, and has long-term presence in 6 African countries. The army has a total strength of about 10,000 people, including special operations units, unicorn units, and French foreign legion special operations groups dedicated to handling overseas affairs. These cans were provided to the special operations group of the French Foreign Legion. "Cobain replied.

"Could it be that the temporary base belongs to the French?" Lin Rui frowned. "If this makes sense, they have a large number of troops stationed in Africa, and they have a mobile command system composed of vehicles and mobile radar equipment, which is not difficult. Thing."

"But if they are French, they can't be so sneaky. They are almost the former suzerain states of many countries in Africa. Even after those countries become independent, they still have a great influence on these countries. Let alone a mobile base. , Even if it is to establish a permanent base, I am afraid it will not meet too much opposition, they do not need to be so sneaky." Crazy Horse shook his head.

"It makes sense. Besides finding the canned food used by the French army, it doesn't mean that those people are the French army." Lin Rui muttered, "Let's go to the village to check it."

Twenty minutes later they came to the village, which was a small village on the edge of the desert. According to intelligence, they should be their second search target.

After checking it again, Sergey came to report, "Many houses have been burned down, but there are not many dead bodies. These villagers should have been moved. In addition, on the north side of the village, we found some traces left by militants. One. A pickup truck that broke down, with a machine gun holder in the back, but the machine gun has been removed."

Lin Rui nodded and said, "Let's take a look."

This village was full of African earthen houses. When approaching the north side of the village, Lin Rui did spot a car. It was a rusty pickup truck. The windows were gone, the roof was rusted with a big hole, and the back body was rusted in many places, so the chassis structure below could be seen clearly. After Sausage stepped forward and checked, he jumped out of the car and said, "The old one can't be old. It's a heavily worn Toyota pickup. It should belong to those terrorists, but there was a glitch, so it was not driven away."

"What's the problem?" Lin Rui frowned.

"The spark plug problem." Sausage shrugged. "They probably were abandoned because they didn't start the car, and the condition of the car was really poor."

"By the way, if these terrorists had insufficient funds, they would not do this." Lin Rui patted the rusty car body. "There is another situation that they are eager to leave. Even the time to replace the spark plug. Don't want to delay. Did you find anything in those villagers' rooms?"

"There is nothing else, but we found this in a hut." Sergey carried a fire extinguisher up.

"The vehicle-mounted fire extinguisher. And it is the largest one. This shows that at least a large truck is equipped with such a fire extinguisher." Lin Rui frowned. "Terrorists and large trucks?"

"It takes quite a large truck to transport a drone." Sausage nodded. "Because the RQ-170 has a huge wing area. The RQ-170 "Sentinel" UAV is similar in appearance to the US Air Force stealth bomber B-2, with wings reaching 20 meters, even larger than the F-15 fighter.

"So they converted a large truck into a flatbed trailer, and some of the auxiliary equipment on the car was also removed. This fire extinguisher should be placed in the rear of the car. After removing the car baffle, there is no place to put it and it can only be abandoned. "Lin Rui's eyes moved, "There should be truck baffles that have been cut and removed nearby."

"I have found it, not far away. It seems to have been cut with gas cutting equipment in a hurry." Crazy Horse nodded.

"This is obvious. These terrorists are driving big trucks to load the RQ-170 Sentry UAV." Lin Rui nodded.

"What about the villagers in the village?" Crazy Horse frowned.

"I was forcibly taken away by these terrorists because they needed enough manpower to carry that unpowered RQ-170 sentry drone." Lin Rui answered.

Scarface turned around and asked, "How far is it from where the drone finally landed?"

"From the intelligence provided by the Americans, it should be ten kilometers short." Sausage replied looking at the tactical tablet in his hand.

"It seems that these terrorists hijacked American drones. This is really a joke. Americans' cutting-edge technology has lost to a group of armed militias who may not even be able to spell their own names?" Sergey mocked. Tao.

Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that's not the case. These terrorists are just transportation teams. I'm afraid there are others who have the ability to induce and hijack drones."

"Boss, how do you know they are not the same people?" Sergey asked.

"First of all, in the previous camp, even the canned food they had eaten would be buried to avoid any possibility of being discovered. And here, there is everything in the mess, and there is no same canned ham, because the North African Liberation Front is an extreme terror. According to their beliefs, they only eat halal food. From this, it can be determined that the two are not the same group of people, but they have a clear division of labor." Lin Rui nodded, "Those people are responsible for hijacking drone signals, The false coordinates induced the drone to land ten kilometers away. These terrorists are responsible for rushing to carry the drone."
