"But how do we find them? We can't send people out to search blindly, right?" Crazy Horse asked.

Jiangan thought for a while and said, "This is not too difficult. Let's look at the map. This is the fire zone between the Dinka and the Nuer. So these child soldiers will definitely not be active in this area. They are trained and very alert. , know how to protect themselves. In addition, these areas are the active areas of other large tribal armed forces, and those child soldiers should not be near them. Otherwise, their existence has long been known to everyone. "

"Makes sense." Lin Rui nodded, "So, where do you think they will be active?"

"First of all, they will avoid all large tribal armed forces. Second, the location they choose should be very remote, but it is convenient for them to loot a few nomadic tribes. After removing the above two points, there is not much area left for them to operate. Jiangan pointed to the map and said, "They have received military training from the armed forces of the secret society, and they must know how to choose the most favorable terrain. It must be concealed and conducive to defense. At the same time, there are fewer places that meet these conditions. .

So as long as a little analysis of their possible activity areas, coupled with the satellite image comparison provided by Cobain, should be able to find something. "

"Okay, I think I can try it. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible." Lin Rui nodded, "Actuary, you hand over the possible areas of their activities to Kebain and let him intercept the satellite images of these areas. "

Kishi nodded, turned to the tactical computer and discussed with Cobain.

In the afternoon, Jiangan took out some suspicious satellite images to find Lin Rui.

"Is there a result?" Lin Rui asked.

"Not sure yet, but there are several locations that are very suspicious." Kishi pointed to one of the pictures and said, "Especially here."

"The border area between South Sudan and Ethiopia?" Lin Rui frowned, "Is there any evidence?"

Jiangan nodded, "There are some. On April 16 last year, Gambella, the border area of ​​South Sudan in Ethiopia, was attacked by a group of militants, killing 170 people. Local houses were destroyed and livestock were killed. This is An inhumane and heinous attack. The head of the Ethiopian government information office, Geta Churida, said the attackers were members of the Murle tribe in South Sudan, and pointed out that the Murle tribe stole livestock and children.

But in fact, this incident has nothing to do with the Murle tribe, who may steal livestock, but not children. "

"Do you think those child soldiers have the ability to do such a big thing?" Crazy Horse said in surprise.

"I think it's them. First of all, because of the tension in South Sudan, a large number of refugees fled to Ethiopia. This provides them with a target to attack, and the attack on the refugees will not attract much attention. And they are vicious and do not leave alive, no one will Associate such an event with a group of children.

In addition, on the satellite image, we found that there is frequent vehicle activity in this hilly area, and the movement is very regular. So I asked Cobain to focus on this, and guess what we found? Jiangan looked at Lin Rui and said.

"What did you find?" Lin Rui frowned.

"A well-covered shooting training range is located in this area. Although it has been carefully masked, it is still partially exposed. Here is the enlarged picture, we can clearly see that this is a shooting range, and Child soldiers operating nearby. There are no known armed groups in this area, so we believe this shooting range is one of their training grounds and their camp is there." Pointing Shore to the coordinates on the satellite map road.

Lin Rui looked at it carefully and said, "Yes, this looks like a man-made field, which is obviously different from the surrounding natural grass. It should be compacted with lime soil. You mean that these child soldiers who escaped are here. New camps have been re-established, training grounds have been set up. And they've also enriched the team by stealing from nearby children."

"Yes, there are no other tribes in this area, so they crossed the border into Ethiopia, plundered other children, and caused massacres there." Jiangan sighed.

"That's too exaggerated. They're just kids," Crazy Horse frowned. "They'll set up their own camps, and train and grow their own teams?"

"Children are the most gifted imitators, they learn everything by imitating and learning. Once these children are trained by the Secret Society to become soldiers and have their own organizational structure. They can easily follow their own Instinct to live. There must have been a leader among them after they were freed from the control of the secret society, so that these abandoned child soldiers were reorganized. And continue their spartan style according to their previous training camp habits. military life." Masaki replied.

"It seems that they are really dangerous." Crazy Horse shook his head.

"Yes, they are very dangerous." Jiangan nodded.

Lin Rui pondered, "In this way, they are only less than 20 kilometers away from our location."

"Yes, that also perfectly explains why they attacked our convoy." Kishi put down the photo in his hand, sat down and said, "The question now is what to do with them."

"According to your previous thoughts, we have to try to enter their camp and control their leader. Then force them to lay down their weapons and surrender." Lin Rui replied.

"But what if it fails?" Crazy Horse sighed. "This is a group of children who have been dehumanized. They can shoot and kill people without asking for a reason. But we can't. To be honest, it's like being a mercenary. For many years, my biggest headache is encountering child soldiers. If I am not careful, I will kill myself."

"A Yankee is a Yankee." Sergey shook his head and said, "We have even beaten the Red Baron, and we are afraid of the child soldiers under him. Are you kidding me?"

"He's not kidding. After these children are out of the control of the secret society, they can survive independently and gather into an armed force. Although it is due to various conditions, they themselves cannot be ignored." Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "This It's better for us to do this operation ourselves. Leave this to Ah Hu's control, actuary, you stay to assist Ah Hu."

"How can I do that? I can't stay here all the time, watching you go all out, right?" Jiangan frowned.

"Listen to me, Ah Hu has a good ability, but this man is not good at communication, and has an impulsive temper. Sometimes it is easy to do bad things. I am not very relieved to let him stay on his own. So you can coordinate between him and Jonathan by staying. relationship and stabilize the situation here." Lin Rui explained. "After all, this is the focus of our mission."
