"Since you think there are more benefits, then we will do it. You know that I have always believed in your judgment." Lin Rui smiled.

The actuary shook his head, "but this time is a bit different. The United States asks you to discuss the contents of this mission in detail."

"It seems that they are still very formal." Lin Rui frowned, "This matter is very important to them?"

"I'm afraid they are. They have been paying attention to whether you are coming back? Since I got your news, the representative of the US military has notified me that there are about three hours to arrive." The actuary replied.

"Which guy is it this time? The guy from the African Command, or from the base in Djibouti?" Lin Rui asked.

"From the African Command, Colonel Dulu Jonathan," the actuary replied.

"Jonathan? I haven't seen him for a while, I thought he was elevated." Lin Rui shrugged.

"He is indeed promoted. He is now a capable officer under the commander of the U.S. Africa Command, Stephen Townsend.

He came over in person, saying that things were not that simple. "The actuary replied Jiangshi.

"Then let's wait for this Colonel Jonathan. See what surprise he can bring us." Lin Rui smiled.

After noon, several US military helicopters landed on the island. Colonel Jonathan came to the island accompanied by several American troops.

He looked quite happy after seeing Lin Rui. Strode over to shake hands with Lin Rui, "It's nice to meet you, Rick."

"Hello Colonel. It's been a long time." Lin Rui nodded to him.

"I have been at headquarters these days. I only returned to Africa last week." Colonel Jonathan smiled.

The U.S. African Command is a rather strange existence.

In October 2007, the United States announced the establishment of the U.S. African Command, but in the process of finding a place for the African Command, it was generally resisted by African countries and could only locate its headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany.

"At least the beer there is good." Lin Rui teased.

"Rick, we have worked together many times and we are considered old friends. So I don't want to say too much politeness. I think Mr. John has already told you the general situation.

Can we go to your office and talk in detail? "Jonathan looked at Lin Rui.

"Of course." Lin Rui made a gesture, "Please here."

After arriving at the office, everyone sat down.

Jonathan directly spoke to Lin Rui, "We have encountered some trouble in Somalia, I must have heard of it.

Rick, I need your help now. Very necessary. "

Lin Rui looked at him, "We are willing to help, but we have to know the specific situation. We have to know what we have to face before we can formulate a strategy."

"I need you to help us get rid of the Somali Youth Army." Jonathan whispered.

"I have heard about the Somali Youth Army. It is said that they have changed the boss now. What is the name of that person?" Lin Rui turned his head and asked the actuary Jiang An.

"Salas," the actuary replied, "A few months ago he was the second in command of the Somali Youth Army. The terrorists who had been defeated by the Jihadist League recently have now officially become the leaders of Somali youth.

Lin Rui nodded, turned to Jonathan and asked, "You are going to kill this Salas, right?"

"No, not exactly." Jonathan hesitated and explained patiently, "Salas is just a leader. Killing him will not change the situation.

What we want is to completely kill the Somali youth army. "

"To get rid of the Somali Youth Army completely?" Lin Rui thought for a while, "It might not be easy. There are currently at least a few thousand Somali Youth Army.

And in the recent period, many experienced terrorists have joined them. The total number of them is now twice as large as before.

Do you want me to kill a team of thousands of people at once?"

Jonathan looked at Lin Rui, "Even if they can't be completely wiped out, I also demand to be able to severely damage them.

So what we want is not to kill someone. Instead, they demanded that they be killed altogether.

Because even if they kill their boss, they will soon have a new boss. This will not solve the fundamental problem. "

"Mr. Colonel, this is an armed force of thousands. Even the Somali National Army can't help it.

It would take a long time and a great price to eliminate them as a whole. Lin Rui frowned.

"I understand, that's why I came to you." Jonathan said to Lin Rui, "I also know that this can't be done in a short time.

But we do need such an effect. Even if the Somali youth army cannot be completely eradicated, at least their strength will be greatly damaged and they will not be a threat to us again. "

"I thought you were just targeting someone, but if you want to completely eradicate the Somali Youth Army, it will take a long time, and it will most likely be a large-scale operation.

It is very likely that I will have to use all the manpower and material resources of my company to fight the terrorists in Somalia. Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes, this is what we want. Rick, I know you. You have the ability to take on this task, and your company has enough strength.

And we can ask Somalia to cooperate with you. The Somali National Army can fully assist you. "Colonel Jonathan looked at Lin Rui.

"It has nothing to do with how much support we can get. I just didn't expect you to need to do this." Lin Rui replied. "This makes me somewhat underprepared at the moment.

You know that since the end of the Western Sahara mission, our personnel and equipment have suffered great losses. In fact, we have been in the rest phase.

I did not expect that we would face a major task so soon. Are you sure what you need is a large joint combat mission? "

"Yes. The current situation in Nigeria is quite unstable. The Nigerian authorities even asked us to locate the African Command in Nigeria.

They made a formal proposal to us last week.

The above believes that this is a great opportunity for the African Command to return to Africa. We need to set an example for this return to Africa.

And this time the Somalia incident made the military high-level officers very uncomfortable. It is very likely that the plan to return to Africa will be stranded.

Therefore, we urgently need to reverse this situation. We have to tell everyone that the US military's military presence in Africa is helpful to improve regional security.

So the Somali Youth Army has become our number one target. Only by solving them can we show that we have this ability and responsibility.

Rick, this is an opportunity, both for you and for us. "Jonathan looked at Lin Rui. He said very seriously.
