Battlefield Contractor

A few days later, Lin Rui and others came to the town of Arlit in northern Niger.

Niger is also not a safe place. After the fall of the Gaddafi regime in Libya, most of its armed remnants disintegrated to neighboring countries such as Niger. Niger's military and armed forces in the north also often exchanged fire.

In addition, the security of northern Niger faces threats from the North African branch of Al-Qaida, the Maghreb and various illegal transactions. At the time of the chaos, militants even raided government camps, killing more than 70 government troops.

This is also no way. For a long time, militants have been launching attacks in this vast desert area, kidnapping foreigners, and targeting areas that foreigners like to visit.

The military forces of the government and the French army in the region failed to prevent the development of violence. Some terrorists ambush military outposts not only to steal weapons, but also to expand the area of ​​land they control.

The incident occurred at a time when extremist attacks on military camps in the Sahel increased. Niger’s neighbouring Malian military has encountered more and more ambushes, so that the country has closed some of its most remote and vulnerable military posts.

Instead, this place becomes more chaotic. Before Lin Rui and the others arrived, the logistics team had arrived first and prepared a safe house, weapons and ammunition on the ground.

These mercenaries, the locals shunned them for fear. But as long as you are willing to spend money, you can still find some news. Lin Rui asked the logistics team to come first, just to find information locally.

Most people dare not get involved with mercenaries, let alone disclose information about terrorists. But they still found a few courageous young people, it is said that this is also because they are leaving to go abroad, so they are not afraid of revenge.

The two young men were thin and short, and looked timid. Courageously provided them with some information.

"The camp of those people is about 50 kilometers away from Waram." One of the young black people whispered, "They have a lot of people, and sometimes they come here. But they rarely come recently."

"About how many people are there?" Lin Rui frowned and asked. "The local government forces don't care?"

"Hundreds of people. They sometimes act collectively, and the government forces have nothing to do with them. The government forces have attacked them before, but they escaped, and later retaliated against the government patrols for a long time.

So if there is no order, the local government forces will ignore them. "The black man said.

"Can you take us there?" Lin Rui looked at him.

The local black stepped back and said nervously, "You didn't say to take you there before. You can get the money just by telling you where you are."

"But if you don't take us over. How do we know if what you said is true or false?" Scarface leaned forward and said viciously. "Maybe you are trying to lie to us? Maybe, you are in a group with these people."

"No, really not." The black man was almost back to leaning against the wall, with a look of horror on his face.

"Give him money. But people have to stay, and they can't let them go now. Only after this work is done can they be released." Lin Rui waved, and several mercenaries looked at the two black men.

"Map." Lin Rui waved, and Sausage handed over a map.

"This is Valam. They said it is about 50 kilometers away from here, but they don't know the specific direction. So this range is still not small." Lin Rui frowned. "Notify Sophia's Shadow Brokers team and ask them to check it out."

"I'll inform them." The actuary nodded Jiangan.

"In addition, look for the local government army and see what news they have. I remember that Nigerian officers had trained with us before. Maybe we can really find acquaintances to understand this matter." Kuaima also agreed.

Because in the joint counter-terrorism operations, many Niger grassroots military officers have been trained in the training camps of Lin Rui and others. After these officers returned to China, many of them have been promoted and started to lead troops.

Lin Rui and Kuaima easily found one of the Niger officers who had trained with them. This Niger officer was called Enoch. He was only a second lieutenant in the anti-terrorist joint force, and now he is a lieutenant company commander.

However, Enoch was still very polite when he saw Lin Rui. "Sir, why are you here?"

"We're here to ask you about something. Have you heard about the recent attack on the US military?" Lin Rui looked at him.

"Are you talking about the Maghreb organization? I heard a little bit. It was not only the American army that was attacked, but also our people." Enoch nodded. "I heard that it was Ramul's people. No one but him in this area has the courage."

"It's a pity that this person was too courageous. The Yankees didn't find a place in the helicopter, so they felt very shameless. So they came to me." Lin Rui nodded, "But I just came here and may need some assistance. ."

"I can't help you, sir. You know, I can't mobilize troops to assist you without a superior's order. Of course, if you are working for the U.S. military, you can ask them to say hello. Yes. With the above command, I will be able to do things." Enoch apologized.

"It's not necessary. We just want to get some information from you. You should know where these terrorists are hiding. We need some relevant information." Lin Rui nodded.

"It's not a difficult thing. In fact, we have always known where they are. The people of Ramul have often been in the village of Valam for a generation. There is a camp for them there, but this time, they should not be there.

They make things bigger, and Yankees won't let it go. They also know this, so they must not dare to stay in the camp. Usually they will go to Intas in this case. "Enoch nodded.

"Intars?" Lin Rui asked strangely.

"Yes, there is a big village. Right on the border between Niger and Mali, the terrain is complicated and you can escape to Mali at any time.

On the Mali side, all checkpoints in this area have been removed. They can come and go between the two countries without any hindrance. We have taken several actions against them before, and they all escaped in this way. "Enoch replied.

"How is the situation with Intas?" Lin Rui continued to ask.

"It was a border village, and most of the villagers often travel between the two countries. Many villagers are even the families of these terrorists themselves. They will provide them with cover and help them hide.

And if we go there, it will be some unwelcome outsiders to them. "Enoch nodded.
