Battlefield Contract Worker

"It's impossible!" Yelena shook her head. "The Russian military never hires private military companies. As a military power, their military strength is very strong. Usually, they have the ability to solve problems by themselves."

"Very few, but not impossible." Kishi shook his head and said, "You really need to prove it as shown in the picture. I can give 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?" Sergey frowned.

Kishi nodded and said, "In general, the Russians really like to solve problems by themselves. But they have been in a lot of trouble recently. The United States. The EU and some other Western countries continue to impose sanctions on Russia. I think they must need it. Acting in a sensitive area. And if they act on their own, they're going to put themselves in a very difficult situation."

"Jiang'an is right." Lin Rui nodded. "The person we are trying to save this time is very sensitive. He is a Russian arms dealer."

"Russian arms dealer?" Sergey frowned.

"Ivanchenko, 46, has 8 aliases and holds more than ten passports. Judging from the passports, he is a Russian, an American, and a citizen of a small African country. He was officially named by the United States. As the most powerful arms dealer, he often sells weapons to armed conflict areas in South America, the Middle East, and Africa." Lin Rui turned on the computer, clicked on the photo, and said, "This is the person."

"Hey, man. I've heard of him," Sergey said, looking at the photo. "He's a celebrity. He's the basis for the 2005 movie "Lord of War," starring American star actor Nicolas Cage. He's associated with a lot of horror titles. Like death dealer, the world's number one illegal arms dealer."

Lin Rui said stunned, "I don't know."

Jangishi said solemnly, "This person is very difficult. He is definitely in the top ten on Cia's blacklist."

Lin Rui looked at the information and said, "Ivanchenko's exact origin 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 Turkmen village by the Caspian Sea.

Legend has it that his mother was an accountant. Father is an auto mechanic. He himself studied at the Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages. After graduation, he joined the Soviet Air Force and was sent to Angola, where he allegedly worked for the KGB, the Soviet intelligence agency. But Ivanchenko has denied any connection to Soviet intelligence.

Whether the guy's ties to the KGB are real or not, analysts agree that Ivanchenko does appear to have had deep contacts with senior Russian officials.

What is staggering is that Ivanchenko even became an important participant in the United Nations humanitarian relief operations for a time, and even became a contractor responsible for the delivery of weapons and materials to the US military in Iraq. And his US business partner is actually a military-backed company.

It is said that he once said: "As long as you can afford the price, whatever weapon you want to buy, as long as there are in the world. I promise to sell it 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 some data, he worked with another arms dealer to form an air transport team for arms and diamonds. At the most. They have as many as 60 aircraft. Aircraft, smuggled a large number of submachine guns, grenade launchers, bullets and a variety of light and heavy weapons to the war-torn areas of Africa.

Between July 1997 and September 1998 alone, they sold $14 million worth of arms to Africa. That's why Peter, the British government's secretary of state for African foreign affairs, gave him a nickname: the world's number one embargo cracker.

During the summer of 1999, several simultaneous conflicts occurred in parts of West and Central Africa. The U.S. National Security Council authorized intelligence services to conduct electronic reconnaissance of government and militia leaders in theaters such as northeastern Congo, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Intelligence analysts were surprised to find that each conflict was inextricably linked to a single individual. "

"Ivanchenko." Kishi couldn't help smiling bitterly. "He's very good at making money from both sides of the war at the same time."

“But his luck is running out, last week he was caught by militia guerrillas in Liberia. The U.S. wants to get this man from the militia because he is involved in a number of huge arms deals. Russia doesn’t. I hope this person is caught by the Americans." Lin Rui said slowly, "This is our mission."

"But I don't understand why Russia wants to save this person? This person is just an arms dealer." Sergey frowned.

Jiangan looked at him, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You must know that in the past five years, the United States has continued to occupy the number one position in the world's arms exporting countries, with a market share of more than 30%; Russia ranks second with a market share of 27%. So as long as you think about it carefully, you will understand. What kind of impact does the sanctions imposed on Russia by Europe and the United States 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 Americans know this, so they will do something to him." Lin Rui nodded.

"That's right." Jiangishi nodded, "and that's why Russia hired us. It's too sensitive, and they don't want to be involved. Because if they do, they'll be forced to admit that they and the most notorious people today. Arms dealers are related. Therefore, it is not appropriate for them to come forward. Even to avoid all suspicions related to this.”

"Okay, so what's the situation with this **** arms dealer now?" Yelena frowned.

"He should currently be held in a militia camp in Liberia. The leader of this militia organization is a small local warlord. The current situation is roughly the same." Lin Rui replied.

Sergey 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 up."

Lin Rui nodded and said, "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. These African boys who don't know whether to live or die are planning 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 Ivanchenko. Section was detained."

"They want to eat black." Jiangan nodded.

"Ivanchenko has been around all his life, and in the end, he was played by a few kiddies." Sergey smiled bitterly. "This task should not be difficult. Our opponents are simple this time. At best, they are just armed civilians."

"You are wrong to think so. Because just after we accepted this mission, news came that the US military also wanted to attack Ivanchenko's idea. Even they decided to send people to contact those militia forces. Once These libertarian militiamen who are ignorant of profits sold Ivanchenko to the Americans, and our mission has failed." Lin Rui said slowly.

"How much time is left for us?" Lincoln frowned.

Lin Rui looked at the other team members and said, "I think it shouldn't take more than two days. Our operation this time will be fully supported by the arms dealer Alpha. He will provide us with helicopters, weapons and ammunition supplies. We will do Yes, get Ivanchenko out before the Americans take him."

He spread out a map and said, "This is Liberia. This is where Ivanchenko and them traded arms. This should be where Ivanchenko was held after his arrest. These Liberian militants are local. A new armed force, very ferocious, and without any rules."

"It can be seen that even the most vicious warlords in Africa would not blackmail the arms dealers. They may lower the price, or forcefully buy and sell, but they rob the arms and tie people to blackmail. This kind of thing is very difficult. It rarely happens. Because everyone knows that if you want to mix in this land, you must have a gun. Arms dealers are absolutely not to offend people." Jiangan shook his head and said, "Once an armed organization has a bad reputation with an arms dealer. Well, other arms dealers will also reject this armed organization~www.readwn.com~ Any far-sighted warlord will not do such a thing."

"Yeah, these militants are very immature. But that's precisely what makes them more terrifying. Immature, unstable, hysterical, and without scruples. They can come as they want." Lin Rui said helplessly, "Their leader is A black man named McGinn, who is only 20 today, has already carried a dozen lives on his back and participated in many armed looting and massacres."

"How is their armed situation?" Wang Haoze asked.

"Pretty good. They are partially armed militias, trained and well armed. Thanks again to that Ivanchenko, who 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 the militants and which are the ordinary villagers?" Lincoln frowned. villagers, turn around and he will pull out his gun and give you a shuttle of bullets."

"No matter what, 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 lead these armed men outside the village to solve the problem."

"But we still have to go in and save people. And the process has to be quick, because Ivanchenko is in their hands. We have to be careful that these militants hurt the hostages. The Russians are asking for a rescue, not a body. "Jiangishi frowned.

"That's right. Alpha arrives in the afternoon, and his people will be in charge of the response. He will also bring us the latest information on the Russians." Lin Rui said solemnly, "I must stress again, this mission will be very dangerous. .Everyone must know what to do..)
