I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar.

Chapter 573 Wagner

A few hours later, Nairobi.

Chen Chen sat on the sofa in the room with a serious expression, while the other three people each occupied a chair and sat opposite him with serious expressions.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing. Chen Chen did not speak, and no one dared or was willing to speak in advance. It was not until Chen Chen finally put down the phone that he had been turning around in his hand for a long time without dialing the number that Li Bang finally asked:
"Are you sure you don't want to look for small fish?"

"It's impossible to find."

Chen Chen shook his head and replied:

"Under the current circumstances, looking for Xiaoyu is equivalent to self-destruction."

"The safest approach is not to look for them, but to find a way to quickly cut ties with them and eliminate all traces of any connection with them."

"Only in this way can they have a chance to get out and provide us with more support after the situation stabilizes."

"Damn it, I knew those guys in the Youth Party couldn't be trusted."

"When they charge, they can only carry out low-tech attacks. They have never done anything even slightly difficult."

"It's the same this time. If they were transporting a batch of Type 56 tanks, it would be fine. But now the truck is loaded with a set of Conqueror tanks. What should I do?"

"It would be fine if Nadir could bear it, but if he can't..."

"What kind of person is he?"

"Nadir? I don't know."

Chen Chen shook his head and replied:

"There is very little information about him in the outside world. We only know that he is one of the founders of the Somali Youth Party."

"He served in the Somali National Defense Force and joined the Islamic Courts Union, also known as the ICU, in 1991 after the Somali government was overthrown."

"In 2006, Nader was involved in the offensive on Mogadishu, overthrowing a coalition of warlords backed by the United States, but was defeated much later by Ethiopian troops."

"At this point, the ICU withdrew from Mogadishu and split into two parts. One part is now the Somali Youth Party, and the other part entered Eritrea and established the Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia."

"Although it is called a split, the two organizations have never actually cut off their ties. Nadir is said to have held important positions in both organizations and has led Eritrea's assistance to the Somalia Youth Party."

"There is no concrete evidence to support this claim, and everything is just speculation."

"But in any case, it is certain that Nadir is a thinker who is inclined to 'strategy'."

"He led a series of attacks on Kenya, Ethiopia, and the transitional government in Somalia, but never participated in any combat operations and did not directly command any armed forces."

"He was rarely seen, and no one even knew where he was in the past few years."

"I don't know why he was caught this time. Maybe our conditions were so tempting that he thought he needed to play in person."

"Or maybe he has really realized the huge scale of the game behind this and wants to take this opportunity to get more bargaining chips and use them to change the 'positioning' of the Somali Youth Party."

"It's hard to say which possibility is more likely, but if it's the latter, then our current situation is really very dangerous."

"He will become a chess piece. Just like Jia Ya was in Pubei at that time."

"Unfortunately, Russia, the north, Syria, and even the entire Middle East may be plunged into crisis because of this chess piece."

"To be honest, now we can only hope that the Russians do a good enough job of isolating information."

"Otherwise, no one will be able to clean up this mess."

After Chen Chen finished speaking, the other three people in the room fell silent at the same time.

They certainly knew the problem was serious, but they did not realize it could be this serious.

It was not until this time that Lin He truly understood the heavy worry that Chen Chen had expressed before - he really did not expect that what Chen Chen was worried about would become a reality in such a short time.

“So what is Russia’s attitude now?”

“They are very confident.”

Chen Chen shook his head and said with a sneer:

"According to Ivan, every link in this process has been strictly isolated from the rest of the world, and even different leaders within the Youth Party are unable to share information with each other."

"They believe that Nadir's capture was an accident, but a harmless one."

"The transport work can still be carried out. We just need to find a new person in the Youth Party to take over."

"Even Ivan said that Nadir's arrest was not a bad thing because it could attract more attention from the Americans. Sometimes I really don't know how to evaluate the thinking of these Russians."

"Li Bang, if it were you, would you make such a judgment?"

Hearing Chen Chen's words, Li Bang coughed and replied:
"If it were me, I would never let Nadir get caught."

"I should have sent him a remote-controlled bomb vest in advance. If nothing unexpected happens, I can just blow him up."

".I would like to do this, but Nadir won't agree."

Chen Chen exhaled angrily and amusedly, then said:
"The only good news now is that the goods are not in Nadir's hands."

"The Americans obviously don't have enough intelligence, otherwise they would never take action without solid evidence."

"That means we still have a chance."

"There are two choices. Either find a way to kill Nadir, or get the stuff to the destination before he tells you."

"According to Russian intelligence, the trial of Nadir has not yet officially begun and he is still being held in a National Defense Force barracks in northern Mogadishu."

"The Americans need to negotiate the specific handover matters and take Nadir to a suitable place before interrogating him."

"The time difference here is our last chance."

"Five hours, or maybe even faster, three hours, we have to react."

"But the problem is that even if we fly directly over, it's too late."

Having said that, Chen Chen couldn't help but want to curse a few words.

I originally thought that coming to Africa was just a simple business trip. After all, it was an escort. As long as it was planned properly, there would be no possibility of any violent conflict.

If all goes well, it is not impossible to take the opportunity to see the great animal migration while in Kenya.

But sometimes things are just so tricky, no matter how many twists and turns you go, you still can't get around the Americans and their special forces.

Depend on.

Is this some kind of Beyonder Characteristic Aggregation Law?

Even if they actively separate, they will eventually collide with each other because of some metaphysical "rules"?
It's really haunted.
Looking at Chen Chen's expression, Pingchuan thought for a moment, then asked:
“Can Russia take action?”

"Do they have any military deployment near Somalia?" "No."

Chen Chen shook his head decisively and replied:

"Russia's military bases are all concentrated in Europe and the Mediterranean, and it can be said that there is almost no military presence in Africa."

"We want them to take action, but even if they want to, they can't reach over here."

There is no doubt in what Chen Chen said. In fact, the Russian military's control over Africa is probably weaker than that of a certain big country in the north.

The big country in the north at least has a "supply station" in Djibouti, but the Russians had not even taken over Sudan's military port until he crossed over.

If there is any "influence" they have, it is probably their agents in Niger.

Niger is more than 4,000 kilometers away from Somalia. By the time their people get here, I'm afraid the opportunity will be lost.
Wait a minute.

The word "Niger" flashed through Chen Chen's mind, and then his thoughts suddenly opened up.

A series of instability factors in Niger are actually caused by mercenaries. The so-called mercenaries are Wagner. Wagner is quite active in almost every country in Africa, and in Somalia.
It's 2011 now.

The current Wagner is no longer called Wagner, but the Slavic Legion.

And Chen Chen was very sure that at least after April of this year, there were definitely teams of the Slavic Legion active in Somalia!
The reason is simple. In April 2011, the United Nations passed Resolution 4 proposed by Russia, authorizing countries to combat piracy off the Somali coastline.

The significance of this resolution is that from now on, countries can not only expel pirates at sea, but can even strike them ashore and raid pirate strongholds on the coastline.

And it is precisely because of this resolution that Russia's attitude towards Somali pirates has become particularly tough.

Most of the videos that circulated later showing shelling pirates at sea took place after this resolution came into effect.

At the same time, Russia has been ruthless in its crackdown on pirate strongholds. According to information disclosed by the Russian side itself, they have destroyed at least 30 pirate strongholds on the coastline and even participated in the capture of pirate leader Hassan.
-
And of course, all this was not done by Russia's own Marines.

It was all Wagner's or the Slavic Legion's fault.

They must still be in Somalia, near the Gulf of Aden, or even in Mogadishu, maybe they have an office there.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen's thoughts immediately became clear.

He exhaled lightly and said:
"Let the Russians solve the problems they created themselves."

"I have a plan that requires Russian involvement."

"Help me contact Ivan and tell him that he must follow our plan."

"If we can't do it, then we might as well just call it a day!"

"clear."

Li Bang nodded immediately, turned around and picked up the satellite phone.

Chen Chen leaned back on the sofa, his expression finally relaxing a little.
-
Even while he was relaxed, he still felt vaguely expectant.

Wagner, the strongest mercenary group in later generations, if they really fight with DEVGRU, what will be the result?
20 minutes later, Mogadishu.

Lyudmila looked at the contract she had just received, sighed, and said:
“I’ve never seen the federal government be this efficient.”

"The order arrived 10 minutes ago, and the contract was ready 10 minutes later."

"Perhaps in two minutes, we will receive the first advance payment, the first batch of intelligence."

"It seems that this matter is really big, and it is definitely not as simple as fighting pirates."

"However, whether or not to sign this contract is really a difficult question."

Hearing his words, his companion named Rusta shrugged and replied:

"What's so difficult about this? A $600 million commission, a one-time job. After I finish this job, I can even go home and retire."

"If I were you, I would have already signed the contract and set off with my gun - why would I hesitate?"

Lyudmila rolled her eyes and replied:
"The prerequisite for returning home to retire is that you have to go back alive."

"Our opponent this time is not some incompetent warlord, but an American special forces unit."

"They could be DEVGRU, Rangers, or Cuckolds. No matter which one they are, they are not easy opponents to deal with."

"Moreover, the target of this mission is the Shinkadir base in the north of Mogadishu, where there are thousands of government soldiers and more than 40 US military advisers."

"Armored vehicles, tanks, helicopters. Tell me, how difficult is it for us to rush in, kill people, and then rush out?"

"This is not an infiltration mission, this is a frontal assault mission."

"I'm afraid only a madman or a fool would accept the mission without hesitation - I am neither mad nor foolish."

After Lyudmila finished speaking, Rusta shook his head slightly and continued:
"But we don't really have a choice, do we?"

"We have to do this. Even if we fail, at least we have to try."

"To be honest, it's not like we don't have any chance at all."

"At least we were given a high level of authorization to use any weapons we could find."

"How about a suicide attack? Get a big truck full of explosives and go in there and blow up everyone there."

"Then, whenever a helicopter takes off, we shoot it down with portable anti-aircraft missiles."

"Since the target is so important, he must be the first one to be transferred. Our chances are actually very good."

"Well, the attack can be left to those lunatics of Al-Shabaab. It's quite appropriate, isn't it?"

"It's really a good fit."

Lyudmila couldn't help but laugh, and then explained:
"Our target is a key figure in the Youth Party. This is a logical conclusion."

"Isn't that okay?"

Rusta clapped his hands suddenly and said:

"Do it."

"Six million dollars. I can't wait to retire!"

After he finished speaking, Lyudmila nodded slowly. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke:
“It is necessary to do it.”

"But if we just use truck bombs to cause riots, it still seems a little insufficient."

"I'm thinking, I should go and negotiate the terms with the higher-ups again."

"Since they can use any weapon, maybe they should think of a way to get us something really big."
