A large number of officers, non-commissioned officers and intelligence personnel arrived at the red team's headquarters first, making the already small space very crowded.
The arrival of Long Zhan and Jason's group made the headquarters even more crowded.
Seeing that Team B had arrived, Blackburn walked to the conference table with a heavy heart and said, "Thank you all for coming so quickly. Mandy, you can start."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
"Last night, at about 1 a.m. local time, Team E was performing its second mission at night. Under the leadership of an informant, it went to Jalalabad City and performed a follow-up mission near the Kashganbad neighborhood."
Mandy pressed the remote control, and the drone night vision video began to play on the screen in front of the conference room.
Through black and white night vision images, you can see a heavily armed team forming an attack formation and entering a square two-story building.
Mandy explained as the video played: "This is a watchman video a few seconds before the explosion, and the target was a private residential building.
Team E successfully broke through the residential building, but an explosion occurred soon after entering the building."
As soon as Mandy finished speaking, an explosion occurred in the video.
The flames of the explosion were very bright in night vision images and spewed out from the windows and doors of the house.
Along with the explosion, most of the houses collapsed and turned into ruins.
Seeing how powerful the explosion was, all the DG members working there felt chilled, and the atmosphere in the headquarters became extremely depressing.
"Is the target wearing a bomb vest, or is the whole place full of explosives?" Jason asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know now, it may be both." Mandy replied.
"Anyone survive?"
The question Diaz asked is also of concern to most people here.
Mandy looked solemn and did not reply. It was obvious that she was unable to accept the result and could not even bear to say it. She looked at Blackburn, the supreme commander of the red team.
"According to the current investigation, no!"
There were only 6 teams under the red team, and one of them was wiped out in one fell swoop. As the leader of the red team, one can imagine how uncomfortable Blackburn felt.
"So, what you are saying is...all six people are dead?" Sonny asked gloomily.
Sonny is very familiar with the members of Team E, and many of them are his friends.
"The casualty notification team has set off."
Blackburn answered in another way, and this answer was more certain than any other way.
Because only when it is absolutely certain that the person has died and the body has been found, the casualty notification team will contact the family of the deceased.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Sonny couldn't accept this answer, and he couldn't accept that the top combat troops would die in this most useless way.
This is the first time he has joined DG for so many years.
"The person we are assigned to hand over is Team E. I called Steve Porter yesterday and went to the base bar for a drink together, but now..."
Jason couldn't say anything else.
As an old man who has been working in DG for more than 10 years, he has witnessed the growth of most of the current team captains of the red team, and has also fought side by side with them.
As a result, the yin and yang were separated in the blink of an eye, and the sadness was beyond words.
Blackburn could understand Jason's mood and said in a serious tone: "The squadron has now lost an entire team, so as you know, the situation is unsustainable.
In order to make amends and take revenge, the headquarters requires you to advance your deployment time."
An entire team just disappeared. Unless the real culprit behind the scenes is found, not only Blackburn cannot accept it, but even the Joint Operations Command cannot swallow this breath.
To put it in simpler terms...
You dare to trap even a first-level combat unit, you just think your life is too long.
The US military's strong desire for revenge is well known to everyone around the world.
For example, after the failure of Operation Red Wings in history, the US military sent more than 150 bomber sorties in revenge, bombing multiple villages where the Taliban existed.
Regardless of whether there are civilians in the village or not, it is just a matter of air strikes and hair washing one after another.
Not to mention the number of civilians killed in the bombing, the number of Taliban militants alone exceeded 600, and the number of civilians was at least over 1,000.
A total of 19 US troops died, but more than a thousand Afghans were buried with them.
This desire for revenge is simply terrifying!
"When to set off?"
Long Zhan's mentality has changed at this time, and he is more eager to go to the place of posting.
"You have to leave within 18 hours. If you have anything to clean up personally, hurry up. Does anyone else have any problems?" Blackburn said.
Team A, Team B, officers at all levels, intelligence personnel...
No one is talking!
Everyone's expressions were very consistent, that is, they were filled with burning anger and deep pain, and their desire for revenge had been completely ignited at this moment.
There is nothing left to say.
Find the murderer and kill him.
This is the only thought in the minds of everyone present except Long Zhan at this moment.
…
The emergency meeting ended and everyone dispersed and left.
The overseas deployment time is advanced, which means that I need to say goodbye to my family in advance. In addition, 18 hours is not very sufficient to express condolences to the families of Team E.
A team is gone if it is gone. For Long Zhan, who believes that staying alive is the king.
It was indeed a bit shocking.
The shock I felt when I watched the TV series was not even one-tenth of the shock I felt when I became a member of DG and heard the bad news in person.
In order to prevent himself from dying for the United States, some of Long Zhan's inner thoughts changed.
The original idea of working in DG for a year or two has been reduced to thinking of a way to retire after getting the money during this posting.
Rather than staying in DG to perform the most dangerous tasks, it is obviously safer to go out and do it alone.
You can probably choose the difficulty when accepting missions. You can choose not to accept those that are too dangerous. This is not possible in the army. No matter how difficult the mission is, you have to do it.
If you serve your country and its people loyally, it is worth getting psychological comfort.
But Long Zhan is the "Egg Man"!
As an egg person, Long Zhan does not want to die for the US government.
