Battlefield Contractor
Chapter 953: Big arms dealer
"It's impossible!" Yelena shook her head, "The Russian military never hires private military companies. Please search (品#书……网)! The fastest novel is a military power, and their military strength is very strong. . Normally, they have the ability to solve problems on their own."
"Rarely, but not impossible." Jiang An shook his head, "As shown in the picture, you really need to prove, I can cite at least three or four real examples. But we all know that it doesn't make much sense."
"Hey, we all know this, but why do they need us to save people, and who are they saving?" Sergey frowned.
Jiang An nodded, "Generally speaking, Russians do like to solve problems by themselves. However, they have had a lot of trouble recently. The United States, the European Union and some other Western countries continue to impose sanctions on Russia. I think they must need it. Act in a sensitive area. If they act on their own, they will put themselves in a very difficult situation."
"Jiang An is right." Lin Rui nodded, "This time the person we are going to save is very sensitive. He is a Russian arms dealer."
"Russian arms dealer?" Sergey frowned.
"Ivanchenko, 46, has 8 pseudonyms and holds more than ten passports. From his passport, he is a Russian, an American, or a citizen of a small African country. He is officially known by the United States as the most Energy arms dealers often sell weapons to areas of armed conflict in South America, the Middle East and Africa." Lin Rui turned on the computer and clicked on the photo, "This is the person."
"Hey, man. I have heard of him." Sergey said in a photo. "He is a celebrity. He is the prototype of the 2005 movie "King of War" starring American star actor Nicholas Cage. He is associated with many horrors. Titles are linked together, such as death traffickers, the world’s number one illegal arms trafficker."
Lin Rui said in amazement, "I don't know."
Jiang An said seriously, "This person is very difficult. He is definitely in the top ten on the CIA blacklist."
According to Lin Rui, "Ivanchenko's exact life is almost unknown. Apart from knowing that he was born in the 1970s, his birthplace and nationality are still a mystery. Russia says he was born in Tajikistan. He himself Said he was born in a village in Turkmenistan by the Caspian Sea.
Legend has it that his mother was an accountant and his father was an auto mechanic. He himself studied at the Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages, joined the Soviet Air Force after graduation and was sent to Angola, and reportedly worked for the Soviet intelligence agency KGB. But Ivanchenko denied that he had any relationship with Soviet intelligence agencies.
Regardless of whether this guy’s connection with the KGB is true or false, analysts believe that Ivanchenko does indeed seem to have in-depth contact with high-ranking Russian officials.
What is staggering is that Ivanchenko even became an important participant in the United Nations humanitarian rescue operations, and even became a contractor responsible for delivering weapons and supplies to the US military in Iraq. And his US business partner is actually a military background company.
He allegedly said: "As long as you can afford to buy any weapons, as long as the world has them, I promise to sell them to you."
"This guy really reminds me of that Alpha." Lincoln shook his head.
Lin Rui shook his head. "He is better than Alpha. According to information, he has cooperated with another arms dealer to jointly form an air transport team that traffics arms and diamonds. At most, they have as many as 60. The plane smuggled a huge number of submachine gun grenade launcher bullets and a variety of light and heavy weapons to war-torn areas in Africa.
Between July 1997 and September 1998 alone, they sold $14 million worth of arms to Africa. Because of this, Peter, the Secretary of State of the British government in charge of African foreign affairs, gave him a nickname: the world's number one embargo breaker.
In the summer of 1999, several conflicts occurred simultaneously in parts of West Africa and Central Africa. The US National Security Council authorized intelligence agencies to conduct electronic reconnaissance on leaders of government militia organizations in theaters such as Liberia and Sierra Leone in northeastern Congo. Intelligence analysts were surprised to find that every conflict is inextricably linked to one person. "
"Ivanchenko." Jiang An couldn't help smiling bitterly. "He is very good at making money from both sides at the same time."
"But his good fortune came to an end. He was caught by militia guerrillas in Liberia last week. Since this man was involved in a number of huge arms deals, the United States hoped to get this man from the militia. Russia did not. I hope this person will be caught by the Americans." Lin Rui said slowly, "This is our mission."
"But I don't understand, why did Russia save this man? This man is just an arms dealer." Sergey frowned.
Jiangan, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You have to know that in the past five years, the United States has continued to occupy the top position in the global arms exporting country, with a market share of more than 30%; Russia is second with a market share of 27%. So as long as you If you think about it carefully, you will understand what impact the European and American sanctions on Russia will have on their arms business."
"You mean, they really need this Ivanchenko right now?" Sergey frowned.
"Of course normal sales are restricted, so Ivanchenko's abnormal channels are naturally more important. And I guess the Americans also know this, so they will do it on him." Lin Rui nodded.
"Yes." Jiang An nodded, "And this is why Russia hired us. This matter is too sensitive and they don't want to be involved. Because if they participate, they are forced to recognize them and the most notorious today. The arms dealers have something to do with them. Therefore, they should not come forward on their own. They should even avoid all suspicions about this."
"Well, what's the situation with this **** arms dealer now?" Yelena frowned.
"He should be locked up in a militia camp in Liberia. The leader of this militia is a small local warlord. The current situation is roughly the same." Lin Rui replied.
Sergei couldn't help but said, "This guy is obviously a young man who doesn't know the heights of the sky, and even the famous Ivanchenko dares to tie him."
Lin Rui nodded and said, "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. These reckless African boys plan to blackmail Ivanchenko, because he knows that the arms dealer should be a rich man. So after the transaction, he suddenly turned his face and took Ivanchen. Ke was deducted."
"They want to eat black." Jiang An nodded.
"Ivanchenko also spent his whole life, but in the end he was tricked by a few kids." Sergey smiled bitterly. "This task should not be difficult. Our opponents are simple this time. At best they are armed civilians."
"You are wrong to think that way. Because just after we accepted this mission, news came that the U.S. Army wanted to fight Ivanchenko's idea. They even decided to send someone to contact the militias. Once. These Liberian militiamen who have forgotten their righteousness sold Ivanchenko to the Americans, and our mission failed." Lin Rui said slowly.
"How much time is left for us?" Lincoln frowned.
Lin Rui’s other team members said, “I don’t think it will take longer than two days. Our operation will be fully supported by arms dealer Alpha. He will provide us with helicopters and weapons and ammunition supplies. What we have to do is Get Ivanchenko out before the Americans take him away."
He spread out a map and said, "This is Liberia. This is the place where Ivanchenko and them traded arms. This should be the place where Ivanchenko was held after his arrest. These Liberian militants are local. A new armed force is very cruel and has no rules."
"Come on, even the most vicious warlords in Africa will not be blackmailed by arms dealers. They may lower prices, or force them to sell, but they steal arms and kidnap people for blackmail. This kind of thing rarely happens. .Because everyone knows that if you want to mix in this land, you have to have a gun. And the arms dealer is someone who can’t offend him.” Jiang An shook his head, “Once an armed organization has a bad reputation with an arms dealer, Other arms dealers will also reject this armed organization. Any visionary warlord will not do such a thing."
"Yes, these militants are very immature. But this is precisely where they are more terrifying. Immature, unstable, hysterical, and unscrupulous. You can come whatever you want." Lin Rui said helplessly, "Their boss is A black man named McKim, who is only twenty today, has already carried more than a dozen lives on his body and has participated in many armed looting and massacres."
"How is their armed situation?" Wang Haoze asked.
"Very good. They are a partially armed militia organization that has been trained and well armed. Thanks to that Ivanchenko, he gave them a truckload of arms this time. Including a dozen large-caliber machine guns. And a 40-caliber rocket launcher." Lin Rui shook his head. "The difficulty is that these armed men live together with local villagers."
"In other words, where are the innocent villagers. We can't tell which are militants and which are ordinary villagers?" Lincoln frowned. "This will cause a lot of trouble for our operations. Maybe a thin villager, Turning around, he drew out his gun and gave you a bullet."
"In any case, we must try our best to avoid the casualties of the villagers." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "When necessary, we may be able to bring these armed men outside the village to solve them."
"But we still have to go in and save people. And the process must be as fast as possible because Ivanchenko is in their hands. We must be careful of these militants injuring hostages. What the Russians demand is rescue, not a corpse. "Jiang An frowned.
"That's right. Alpha will arrive in the afternoon, and his people will be responsible for the work. He will also bring us the latest information on the Russians." Lin Rui said solemnly, "I must emphasize again that this mission will be very dangerous. . Everyone must know what they should do."
