Chapter 432 Lobbyist (please collect, recommend, and vote monthly)
After that came a series of preparations. Different from the previous small unit operations, this time it took longer and the number of people was larger, which further tested the logistics capabilities.
Benghazi, "Vladimir, did you order Umbrella's transport team to do this?" The speaker was Yuri, Vladimir Makarov's deputy.
He strongly disagreed with Makarov's extraneous behavior. The rebels were actively preparing for an offensive in the direction of Misrata. It was definitely not a wise thing to provoke an enemy at this time.
Makarov has now basically done what Umbrella planned to do before, eating both ends. He is now employed by Cardano and also controls several rebel teams.
Because of his presence, the war here has become more anxious and bloody. Unlike Umbrella, Xu Chuan originally wanted to prolong the war and make money in the long run, but Makarov made both sides kill each other non-stop.
.
During this process, the hatred between the two parties continued to accumulate, and he took the opportunity to expand his power.
"Don't be nervous, Yuri. I did it very secretly. If they want to investigate, they will only find it on the National Army." Makarov has been going well recently, and several plans have gone smoothly.
Implement.
Helped the Khamis Brigade to successfully recapture Zawiya, and used the intelligence he provided to allow the government forces to march eastward to recapture Ajdabiya, which is only more than 100 kilometers away from Benghazi.
Then he took the opportunity to control the rebels who were already in disarray at that time. So far, at least one-third of the rebels are his people.
As for whether the government forces will directly win this war, of course it is impossible, because after that NATO has begun to set up no-fly zones and conduct air strikes on military targets, which has caused heavy losses to the government ground forces.
The National Army, backed by Langley, is also an agent strongly supported by the Western government. If they can conflict with Umbrella, it will be very beneficial to Makarov.
"There is absolutely no need for us to do this. After taking Misrata, the next target is Sirte. Under NATO's air strikes, it is not certain whether they can survive." Yuri was helpless, Makarov said.
Whenever you meet Umbrella, you will be stimulated.
But looking at his missing arm, you can understand his behavior.
"Yuri, that's not enough. It would be too cheap for them."
Turning his attention back to Sirte, Xu Chuan, who currently didn't know about Makarov's existence, was carefully looking at the battle reports of the recent period.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Xu Chuan put down the document and asked a question, "How did the Khamis Brigade open a gap in the offensive in the direction of Zawiya within four hours?", in his hand.
This is an internal report from the government forces.
What is written above is very clear. The Khamis Brigade was like a divine help, directly opening a gap in the most vulnerable position of the rebel defense line, so that the entire defense line collapsed directly.
Xu Chuan knew very well what kind of combat effectiveness the Khamis Brigade had. Although their equipment seemed to be that of a heavily armed brigade, with armored vehicles, tanks, and even military weapons, they were definitely the most capable of fighting among the government forces.
But this is just a matter of choosing a general, and everyone is competing against each other. After all, the mercenaries with the highest combat effectiveness in the Khamis Brigade are the mercenaries, and the local soldiers are only slightly better than the rebels. It is not an exaggeration to say that the ratio is 50:50.
Not surprised to be able to recapture Zawiya Xuchuan, after all, the strength is there. As long as the tanks penetrate, the rebels who lack heavy weapons can only run.
It's just that this battle happened too fast. There was no probing at all on either side. Khamis's tank battalion penetrated directly into the hinterland of the rebels. What is this? It's unparalleled.
"Yes, we have discussed this issue, and we have also inquired among the government troops. After combining the intelligence obtained, I think there must be someone from Ka Dazuo among the rebels." Michael handed Xu Chuan another document.
"Who has a brain problem? Who didn't know that Colonel's ship was going to sink?" In his opinion, this was no different from surrendering to the Japanese in 1945.
"Maybe he was just bribed with money. You don't know how much money the colonel has spent recently, recruiting mercenaries, contacting supporters, and buying weapons on the black market. We calculated that billions of dollars have been spent." Pike said.
Lang Dang sat on the chair and put his feet on the conference table.
Xu Chuan put his hands on the table and made a look like Commander Ikari, "I don't think it's that simple."
…
Many people know the saying that war is the continuation of politics, which comes from "On War" written by Clausewitz, but sometimes, war may be just the continuation of business.
For example, the person standing in front of Xu Chuan said, "Mr. Grylls, hello, I have brought greetings from Mr. Durand."
Xu Chuan knew him. He was Sériol Durand's assistant and had met him in Paris. He took the red wine from his hand and said, "Mr. Durand specially asked me to bring this here."
"Okay, thank you." Xu Chuan complained in his heart. He knew that I didn't drink and still gave him a drink. It was intentional.
This is not Sirte, but Misrata, located in the east of Sirte. "The weather here is not very good. The assistant is definitely not here to see the sandstorm."
"Indeed, I have brought a message from Mr. Durand." The assistant looked around at the burning buildings, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of barbecue.
Intermittent gunshots came from some buildings in the distance. Even though he was well-informed, there was actually cold sweat on his back. This was not because he was hot in a suit.
Two Yemeni soldiers wearing three-color desert camouflage brought out a table and two chairs from the house where half of the wall had collapsed.
"To be honest, this is not a good place to talk, but the conditions are limited, please don't mind, Mr. Assistant." Xu Chuan's smiling face reflected the firelight in the dark night, making it as scary as possible.
The assistant swallowed and calmed himself down, "Mr. Durand heard about the conflict between Umbrella and the National Army, and asked me to come here to understand the situation." In fact, he came on behalf of the entire French Energy Group, Umbrella.
Operation Ra completely disrupted the rebel military campaign against Misrata.
Yes, Umbrella had already started working with the National Army just as Makarov had hoped. While purging a small force, Umbrella unexpectedly received news that the group of guys who attacked the convoy were connected to the National Army.
Xu Chuan ignored the authenticity of the news and directly sent an ultimatum to the National Army, asking them to hand over the people or bear the consequences.
I guess that group of people were extremely confused when they received this ultimatum, but with several major powers behind me taking turns waiting on you, who knows who you are, Umbrella.
Xu Chuan did not intend to wait for their reply. It was originally an excuse to directly remove the two strongholds of the National Army near Sirte.
Attacking Umbrella head-on may not necessarily give you an advantage. After all, they have the support of the United States, Britain and France, and they also have some heavy equipment, but who will go head-to-head with them?
Umbrella's operations are all conducted at night, and Xu Chuan believes that he is definitely the only team on the Libiya battlefield currently equipped with night vision goggles.
Even these Yemeni mercenaries wear AN/PVS-14 monocular night vision devices, not to mention they also have drones for reconnaissance and can use MH-6 helicopters to conduct aerial assaults at night.
For this group of national troops who had just been armed, it was basically a dimensionality reduction strike. In less than half a month, all national army strongholds near Sirte and Misrata were raided by Umbrella.
Read it again.
"Understanding the situation, this is easy to handle." Xu Chuan looked at Durand's assistant. He had already known that someone was coming, so he asked his subordinates to take out a large pile of documents from the car and put them on the table, "The National Army and a group of
The KB elements attacked my transportation line, and the witnesses and physical evidence are all here. I did not accuse them unjustly."
"Also, don't forget, Durand is also an investor in this route. I also want to give an explanation to the shareholders." Any explanation, he was just talking nonsense and using the topic as an excuse.
The assistant looked at the documents on the table, which weighed no less than five kilograms, and had a headache. Umbrella had informed Durand of Umbrella's actions half a month ago, and no one cared about it at the time. You must know that Umbrella was only a PMC with two to three hundred people.
The company, this is the result of recruitment in recent times.
This scale is really unmatched in the international security market, not to mention that the National Army armed by NATO already has a team of nearly four to five thousand people.
Moreover, Umbrella did a perfect job in this matter. First, it spread the word to the whole world that it had been attacked and killed dozens of employees, and then continued to disclose the scene and the evidence collected in mainstream European and American media. Not only that, this
The gangster filed a lawsuit with the local court in the company's registration place in the United States. Damn, the problem is that the court actually accepted it.
And they only targeted the National Army. Umbrella did not touch any other forces under NATO control. This group of people themselves were not of the same mind. When the National Army was attacked, there was no one to support them.
The assistant knows that this pile of information definitely contains details about the support of European and American countries to the rebels, but there are some things that can only be done but cannot be said, and many exchanges of interests are shady. There are also witnesses and physical evidence, and the witnesses are probably only confessions, all of which are
Dead man, whatever you say will be done.
"So, Mr. Grylls, what do you mean?" He came here to ask Umbrella what price he planned to charge. As Xu Chuan said, the income of this transportation line is also related to Durand.
.
Xu Chuan narrowed his eyes, "I don't mean anything. Let the National Army hand over the murderer and then compensate the deceased's pension, and of course our economic losses." He pointed to the top document, "All of them.
It is written in it that as soon as they do it, I will stop the action immediately."
Watching the assistant get into the car holding the documents, Curtis came over and said, "Boss, do you still want to do the next goal?"
