“…hijacked a Chinese transport ship carrying European industrial machine tools, attacked the Chinese Embassy in Djibouti, and launched terror in Yemen. The attacks put pressure on the local government… Employers generally leave the dirty work to us if it is not convenient for them to do it themselves. .The pay is good, the intelligence is guaranteed, and the risk of the mission is usually low..."
In a dark room with only one beam of light, Zaid's hands were tied behind his back on a chair, his head drooped, and his eyes staring blankly at the dark floor. There was still a halazi in his mouth, and he looked like he had been injected with veritaserum.
Based on the crimes he committed, it would be much easier for him to be tortured with Veritaserum. However, Jiang Chen didn't intend to waste time on these minutiae, and he would be needed later, so he directly applied the Veritaserum.
"Who is your employer?" Jiang Chen asked in a cold tone.
"The employer did not reveal his identity, as is customary..."
"Who is the person responsible for contacting you?"
"Arrowhead Military Corporation."
“Mayotte, west of Madagascar…”
Having already asked for all the required information, Jiang Chen turned off the recorder on the table next to him, and then made a gesture to Ayesha.
Ayesha understood, grabbed the bucket and threw it at the pirate leader's face.
A bucket of cold water was poured on his face and he choked on his saliva. Zaid woke up coughing violently.
The dim light made it difficult for him to see who was sitting opposite him. He could only see a pitch-black rifle leaning to the side.
"You, you are..."
"You don't need to know who I am, let's make a deal."
"What deal?"
"Take my people to deliver the goods. If it goes through, I can let you live." Jiang Chen said unhurriedly.
"Are you crazy... Do you know who they are? Arrow Military Company, although it is just a private military contractor, can even beat the 22,000 regular troops of Madagascar!" Zaid's eyes moved uneasily, and the beard on his chin Constantly trembling, "We will die..."
"Before you refuse, you need to understand something first." Jiang Chen raised a finger and said with a smile, "If you don't cooperate, you will die now."
Big beads of sweat fell from Zaid's forehead. He looked around with a struggling expression and lowered his voice.
"Why should I believe you will let me go?"
"You are just an ant to me." Jiang Chen said lightly.
Just an ant…
The corners of Zaid's mouth twitched, but he could not argue.
"Cooperate, or die, make your choice."
No longer trying to persuade him, Jiang Chen slowly loaded the pistol and put it against his head.
The coldness of the metal made Zaid's heart rise to his throat.
He doesn't want to die yet. He still has more than 20 million US dollars in blood money in his savings in Switzerland. This money is enough for him to escape to any country and start a new life. Even if he faces the pursuit of Arrow Military Company and the forces behind it in the future, it is better than just dying at sea inexplicably.
"… cooperate."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and put away the gun.
"Wise choice."
After the cooperation was reached, Zaid was temporarily locked in a dark room and watched by a drone. Because he needed to confirm contact with Arrow Company, Jiang Chen untied him and handed the walkie-talkie into his hand.
"Every word you say will be recorded. If you dare to play any tricks, the drone will automatically shoot. Don't say I didn't warn you."
Seeing Zaid nodding desperately, Jiang Chen closed the cabin door and locked it from the outside.
The blood stains on the ship had been washed away by the rescued hostages, and the corpses, at Jiang Chen's request, stripped off all their clothes and equipment, threw them at the bottom of the cabin and locked them, and sprayed deodorant on the inside of the door. .
He has other uses for these corpses.
After doing this, the employees of Gaoxin Danshui returned to their dormitories, and the crew members who had no tasks also returned to their rooms. Although they haven't had a drop of water since morning, after all what they experienced, they have no appetite for food now.
As they passed the cabin, the Ukrainian beauty Ulrika who was rescued by Jiang Chen suddenly hugged him and kissed the hero who saved her. However, regarding her suggestion that he could accompany her back to the dormitory and stay with her for a while, Jiang Chen declined the beauty's kindness because he was not in the mood.
Speaking of which, she was not at the scene at the time and knew nothing about Jiang Chen's identity. If she knew that the person standing in front of her was not a special soldier, but the chairman of the group, I wonder if she would blush because of her petty thoughts.
After all, foreigners look at the faces of Chinese people the same way Chinese people look at foreigners. Even if they were Gates or Jobs, Jiang Chen wouldn't be able to recognize them if no one pointed at them if they met on the street.
After returning to the "Water Drop", Jiang Chen set it to automatic cruise mode and hung it not far away from the back of the consignment ship.
About two hours later, night was about to fall, and two black spots flew over the dusky sky.
Two Black Hawk helicopters flew over one after the other, filled with soldiers from the Sea Lion Special Forces.
Amid the cheers of the hostages, the soldiers in black combat uniforms rappelled down to the deck. Garrett hung his rifle on the back of the exoskeleton and walked towards Jiang Chen who was waiting at the bow of the ship.
"boss."
Due to his status, Garret just smiled bitterly and swallowed back any words like "too messy".
Jiang Chen looked at the equipment on his body.
"Are all the equipment K2-type exoskeletons?"
Since the last time the group was almost wiped out in Antarctica, the newly programmed Sea Lion special forces have been equipped with the K2-type mechanical exoskeleton produced by the arsenal of the Sixth Street Block Arms Factory. These exoskeletons can mount more modules, including optical imaging, anti-EMP, annular nitrogen shields, etc., which the K1 exoskeleton cannot do.
"Yes." Garrett nodded.
"Very good, follow me." Jiang Chen nodded, turned around and walked towards the cabin.
…
This room was originally the crew mess on the ship, but now it has been converted into a temporary headquarters. The heavily armed soldiers formed a circle, quietly waiting for Jiang Chen's orders. Several tables were put together. Jiang Chen spread a map on the table, and then used a marker to draw two lines and a circle on it.
"Four soldiers were executed by pirates. The mastermind behind the attack was Arrow Company, and they were also responsible for the attack in Antarctica. It just happened that the old and new accounts were settled together. Let's put aside the diplomatic issues for now. Blood debts must be paid with blood. You know what I mean."
None of the soldiers spoke, but Jiang Chen could feel the high morale.
Revenge for dead comrades.
For revenge!
"...The battle plan is very simple. Team A will be led by me, pretending to be pirates, and go to the port of Mayotte Island in the west of Madagascar to deliver the desalination platform. Team B will be led by Garrett and arrive at Mayotte Island first on a Black Hawk helicopter. Deploy in the north, then walk around the coastline to the trading location. Attack them from both sides and annihilate them all!"
Seeing Jiang Chen finish what he said, the pilot raised an objection.
"We don't have enough oil on the helicopter. If we return to the frigate to resupply now, I'm afraid it won't be in time."
After a long journey, the gasoline on the helicopter was just enough to get back to the frigate. If we wanted to raid Mayue Island from a long distance, the remaining fuel was simply not enough.
"There is oil in the warehouse on the ship. We will replenish it after the combat meeting."
"The consignment ship uses heavy diesel, and the Black Hawk needs No. 3 jet -" the pilot told Jiang Chen.
"I'm talking about No. 3 jet fuel. The underwater vehicle I'm on carries this kind of supply. I've put it in the warehouse on the left side of the stern. Open the door, I believe you can see it." Jiang Chen said simply.
Glancing at Jiang Chen in surprise, the pilot nodded.
Jiang Chen dropped the marker on the map and glanced at the twelve soldiers and four pilots present.
"Operation codename: Trojan Horse. If you have any questions, please ask. If you have no questions, just let me know."
Led by Garrett, the soldiers present stood at attention with their chests raised and roared in unison.
"no problem!"
The hand that was holding the map suddenly clapped, and Jiang Chen waved his hand.
"Then move!"
What responded to him was a sonorous and powerful answer, as well as steps that broke steel.
"Yes, sir!"(.)
