I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar.

Chapter 570 Short-term Business Trip
Taylor Tamir, in the small courtyard where the Dongfeng Corps is temporarily stationed.

The Jackal's recruitment progress is still improving, and to ensure training, he has reopened the field once used by Suhail and set up a line of defense there as the first line of defense against possible attacks from ISIS or other enemies.

In order to cooperate with his actions, Chen Chen transferred most of the Dongfeng Corps' forces to the training ground to assist in defense, while he himself stayed in the courtyard, acting as an "egg outside the basket".

However, he is not too worried about his safety now.

The reason is simple. The white dog has died for him. As his identity has not been confirmed, the "sunken ship" has most likely been removed from the opponent's hit list.

As long as he does not organize any high-profile actions blatantly, it is unlikely that he will be threatened with fatal threats again in the short term.
-
Of course, it is also for this reason that the work he can currently do is actually quite limited.

Even Chen Chen himself began to feel a little "idle".

".Jianghe will not arrive for another two days, and the data collection work is progressing slowly."

"The Syrian military's intelligence capabilities are really poor. They can't even figure out the main attack direction of the Turkish army."

"Now all the fighting between the two sides is concentrated on the supply line. It's a repeated tug of war and repeated consumption. It can be described in one word: stupid."

"You're going to fight Turkey, can you beat them?"

"The Syrian military has not figured out yet. What they need is not a denial of war, but a resounding victory to slap Turkey in the face."

"War is the continuation of politics. The domestic environment in Turkey is so unstable now, but you don't take advantage of it and are still following their script. You are simply out of your mind."

"So did Suhail. I asked him to get the missiles as soon as possible. But when they were delivered, they were detained in Damascus."

"What do you mean, robbing? We bought it with our own money. Do you really think that it belongs to us just because we use their identities?"

Chen Chen's words were full of complaints. Li Bang just listened silently until he finished speaking. Then he finally spoke:

"At a time like this, we should really call Dakai over."

"You are under too much pressure, and your mentality has begun to become a little unstable."

After Li Bang finished speaking, Chen Chen sighed and replied:

"Even you can see it, so of course I know it better."

"But there is no way, our mission takes place in a high-pressure environment."

"Now I can only say that I should try to break down the tasks into smaller and more precise parts, and try to eliminate the influence of emotions as much as possible."

“I have no better choice than this.”

"Actually, there is."

Li Bang interrupted Chen Chen and said:

“You could go to Africa.”

"The cooperation between Maozi and Bashir has been negotiated. Next, the goods arranged by Peng Xucheng will depart from Mogadishu. During this process, we will definitely need our own people to escort them."

"You have to fly to Madagascar first,

"I don't think you need to arrange for anyone else to go."

"It's actually safest for us to go by ourselves, isn't it?"

"."

After Li Bang finished speaking, Chen Chen fell silent for a while.

In fact, the plan proposed by Li Bang is not unfeasible.

Under the current circumstances, the entire Syrian war has expanded to a scale far beyond the Dongfeng Corps and far beyond what Chen Chen can control. For most of the subsequent time, the marginal benefits of special operations should drop to a level far below the marginal costs. Whether for its own interests or for the sake of the overall situation, the Dongfeng Corps should keep a low profile.

Promoting missile deployment, training militia, and conducting small-scale battlefield reconnaissance are probably the limits of what the Dongfeng Corps can do.

And to do these things.
It's really not necessary for him to be there.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen's brows frowned slightly.

Then, he said hesitantly:
"If we leave Syria, we will completely lose control of the war here."

"Let alone the deployment of missiles, it may not be carried out according to our expected plan."

"You can leave it to Xiaoyu."

Li Bang interrupted Chen Chen again and said:

"You don't need to take all the responsibility. You should think clearly that all of our abilities have limits."

"You are best at commanding small-scale special operations, and you also have above-average capabilities in large-scale operations."

"But what if the war situation here can no longer be resolved by 'fighting', but requires a more macro-level deployment?"

"No one can do this alone. It must and can only be done by a professional team."

"Behind Ivan is the KGB, the so-called mediation center for the conflicting parties in Syria that has just been established, and possibly even the Kremlin."

"Ivan is just a messenger. In the final analysis, we are just a messenger now."

"This job is very important, and you are the only one who can take on this job."

“But you don’t have to stay in Syria, right?”

".really."

Chen Chen exhaled slowly. Before he could speak, Li Bang continued:
"Many things can be controlled remotely, which is a more reliable solution for us."

"Besides, I think you need to disappear for a while."

"At least, disappear from Syria for a while."

"Because a white dog cannot die in vain."

"understood."

Chen Chen finally nodded, and the expression on his face relaxed a little.

Then, he asked:
"What, are you going?"

"The entire escort process is estimated to take only three to five days. Just treat it as a short mission?"

"Of course I will."

Li Bang answered without hesitation:

"There aren't many people around you that can be used anymore. I have to ensure your safety."

"A team of four will be enough: you, me, Pingchuan, and Linhe."

"Yangshu stays here to assist the Jackal and maintain basic communication with all parties."

"Let him handle the things he can handle, and pass on the things he can't handle to you."

"How about we set off as soon as possible?"

"Get going as soon as possible!"

Chen nodded heavily and said:
"Notify Yang Shu and have him complete the handover with me within two hours and take over Taylor Tamir's on-site command."

"Contact Xia Xing and ask her to prepare an exit route and a transport plane from Kenya. The time should be short and the concealment should be high."

"Contact Xiaoyu - Forget it, I'll contact her myself."

"Suhail is not strong enough, and Camel is not strong enough either. I have to let the people behind her take over all the communication work against the civil servants group."

"We will leave within 24 hours and return within 5 days."

"When we come back, it will be time for the final battle!"

At the same time, in Mogadishu, in an inconspicuous house in the urban slums, Abdullahi Nader sat cross-legged on the ground with a serious expression.

He was wearing the same tattered shirt as everyone else in the room, and next to him was an old AK-47 with a faded strap and a handguard corroded by sea water. From the outside, he looked no different from the pirates, gangsters, and warlords active in this country.

But in fact, the high-precision military map in front of him was enough to prove the difference between him and other militants.

And when he spoke his first sentence, the gap became even more obvious.

"Our financial system has suffered a major blow, and the weight of SWIFT's hegemony has finally come upon us."

"More than 50 percent of the funds from Eritrea were intercepted before reaching our accounts, and none from Saudi Arabia arrived."

"The U.S.'s mandatory bank review policy has almost blocked all of our external funding channels. If this continues, our economic situation will quickly fall into trouble."

"We have to keep a low profile for some time to come."

“Action against Kenya must be delayed.”

“At the same time, we must temporarily stay away from AQIM (***********) and BH (Boko Haram) and cut off ties with them.”

“Reducing our focus and concentrating on the existing work at hand should be our priority.”

"That is to say, in the coming period of time, we must mobilize all our forces to complete this cargo transportation mission."

"This will bring us $1500 million in funding, and this $1500 million has the potential to change our future position in Somalia."

"So everyone, you must treat this with caution."

"Are you ready for the reception in the Gulf of Aden?"

"Ready."

The black man sitting on Nadir's left nodded immediately and then replied:
"We have dispatched an elite team. They will set out after confirming the location of the ship and receive the ship according to the scheduled plan."

"In order to ensure the success of the operation, our team has been divided into four groups to back up and supplement each other."

"The crew on the target ship are unaware of our actions, but based on past experience, they will not put up too much resistance."

“After receiving the ship, we will berth it in Bosaso, unload the cargo and then deliver the cargo to Mogadishu by land transport.”

"Once we get here, we will arrange an escort team to continue westward and deliver the goods to the vicinity of Elewak, Kenya."

“There, the customer’s transport aircraft picks up the cargo, and our mission ends there.”

"In general, the mission is not difficult. The most likely place for an accident to happen is the receiving link in the Gulf of Aden."

"We must be careful to avoid the escort formations there to avoid unnecessary conflicts and frictions."

"The time plan has been completed. Do you want to take a look?"

"Need not."

Nadir answered decisively:

"I believe in your ability."

"I just want to remind you to pay attention to your men."

"Not all brothers can withstand temptation. They will be instigated, incited, and infiltrated."

"You must keep it confidential. Before the goods arrive in Kenya - no, before the goods arrive at our customers' final destination, no third person other than you and me is allowed to know the specific details of the goods. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

The black man nodded solemnly, and Nadir took a long breath and said slowly:
"This deal is significant, not just $1500 million."

"If we can do it successfully, we will have a good chance of clearing our identities."

"From now on, we no longer need to play along with those JD organizations. We can become a real opposition and move further into politics."

"The future is bright, but the road is tortuous."

"Go do it. Go now."

"clear."

The black man stood up, nodded to Nadir, turned around and left the room.

At this moment, his heart was already extremely excited.

After all, the "big picture" that Nadir described was indeed something he had never imagined.

Can such a future really be realized?
This question lingered in his mind so much that he even became distracted.

He didn't realize that as he walked out of the room, there were already pairs of eyes staring at his back.
Thousands of miles away, in the JSOC headquarters office.

Craven leaned back on the sofa, smoking a cigar while listening to the adjutant's report.

He looked extremely relaxed, and the source of this relaxation was naturally obvious.

The greatest of the enemies had suffered a severe defeat, and there was evidence that their leader, the man called Shipwreck, had been killed in the battle.

There is no doubt that for some time to come, they will no longer be able to organize large-scale, targeted actions. The thorn in their body has finally been pulled out.

Thinking of this, Craven sighed comfortably. He raised his hand to interrupt the adjutant who was still reporting trivial matters and said:
"Skip the unnecessary content. It's too trivial and there's no need to listen to it."

“Is there any more important and challenging work that requires me to do it myself?”

Hearing his words, the adjutant smiled and shook his head, and replied:

"For now, not yet."

“After the main force of the Dongfeng Corps in Syria was destroyed, everything seemed to be going smoothly.”

"Most of the intelligence we gather is just small stuff."

"The French and Turks can handle it without us having to do anything."

"very good."

Craven nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask:

"Where are our team members? Have they completed the evacuation?"

“Yes, DEVGRU has begun to withdraw from Syria, but they will continue to be on standby in Turkey.”

"This time, their losses were not small, but it was all worth it."

"maybe"

Craven sighed, paused for a moment and said:
"It has to be said that they are still a little weak in actual combat - of course, they are already the most capable special forces on the planet, but this is still not enough."

"Perhaps we should learn from the Dongfeng Corps and hone them with continuous small-scale missions."

"Speaking of which, is there any such mission in the near future?"

"Have."

The adjutant nodded and replied:
"The latest CIA intelligence shows that the Somali Youth Party seems to be planning a major operation."

"We don't know what they are going to do yet, but Nadir has shown up in Mogadishu, which is very unusual."

"Perhaps, we should send DEVGRU members over and have them attempt a capture operation?"

"no problem."

Craven nodded without hesitation, and then said:
"Let them pass. We must stop Nadir, no matter what he is going to do."

"After all, that's our responsibility to maintain world peace, isn't it?"
