Chapter 47: Rescue mission

Lin Rui and the other team members stood still for a while, waiting for Fernandez's words. ｀｀し
The training hall of Shendao Base made him feel a little dull. The front projection camera shows a chart of an unknown sea. Lin Rui was not accustomed to Fernandez's silence. Without his roaring voice, he was not even used to it anymore. But he also knew that once Fernandez stopped yelling, something must have happened.
Fernandez still looked at everyone in silence, took out a piece of paper after a long while, and shouted in a deep voice. "command!"
Lin Rui and other team members immediately stood at attention. They don't have to be like this, because they are just mercenaries and have no military discipline requirements, but Fernandez likes to let them do it. Because he asked them to look more like real soldiers.
"Take a rest." Fernandez said coldly. He buckled his hands behind his back, and his knotted muscles were tight. It seemed that he was a little nervous.
This made Lin Rui also nervous.
Fernandez walked to the podium and said, "Good morning, soldiers, I have a message. The order given by the above decided to test your combat skills. You have a new goal: a pirate base in the Gulf of Aden."
The projector projected a chart behind him and then zoomed in so that everyone could clearly see an island in the picture. "There are mainly four groups of pirates active in the waters of Somalia. Among them, the most threatening is Abadi Efya, who claims to be the commander of the Somali Marine Corps. This altogether notorious pirate once killed his crew in 2006 and 2008. He hijacked the Chinese fishing vessel Tianyu 8, the Ukrainian cargo ship carrying a large amount of munitions such as main battle tanks, and the giant oil tanker Sirius in Saudi Arabia. Deakin Island is his nest."
A strategy map appeared on the screen, dotted with small icons representing islands and reefs. "There are more than a dozen small islands here." Fernandez continued, "Evya used this to dodge the army's attack, and has been dying to this day. For a long time, some people thought that these pirates were just skirmishers, lack of organization, and no longer Threatening. However, things have changed recently.
"There is evidence that one of the small islands has been developed, and they built a base on it. After the search forces entered the area, they either got nothing or were attacked by powerful fire. The MIB has evidence that there is security in Somalia. Loopholes—some people who sympathize with pirates are passing on information to them. It’s no surprise that the locals are never reliable. These people are either pirates or their families.
Fernandez dragged the picture on the display, and a picture appeared on the map: a black man with sparse hair and some messy beard.
"This is the leader of the pirates." Fernandez explained, "General Abadi Efja. This is an official photo from Somalia, and its authenticity has yet to be verified. But this guy got into a big trouble. In the most recent one During the kidnapping, he kidnapped someone with a special identity."
"Your task is to infiltrate the pirate base, find the kidnapped person, and take it to the area controlled by the Somali military. Make sure that he is alive and not harmed."
Fernandez exhaled, loosened his wrist clasped behind his back, and cleared his throat. "This operation is different from the previous one. You will fight the enemy with real guns and live ammunition. Whatever you do to them, what they do to you. If there is any doubt or confusion-try not to make this mistake, even in the battle. There will always be things that confuse you-don't try your luck. Kill first, then ask questions."
"The support we can provide is limited to the ammunition and supplies on this island," Fernandez continued, "This is to minimize the possibility of leaks."
When Fernandez walked to the projector, General Abadi Efya's face disappeared, replaced by a blueprint of a cargo ship.
"Although we have not been able to determine the exact location of this pirate base, we can determine where it regularly receives supplies. This cargo ship, which is not affiliated with any company, will leave Mogadishu Port in six hours. The food and water shipped are enough to meet the needs of the pirates. In addition, the captain is also confirmed to be from Evya. You have to slip on the boat, take the boat to their base, sneak into the base, rescue the hostages, and then try to get out of the damn. Small island."
He finally said, "What else is wrong?"
"Sir," Lin Rui asked, "How should we evacuate?"
"You have two choices: one is to press the pre-arranged emergency button to send a signal, and the local warlord will come and pick you up. The other is to go directly to the sinking island, and we will stay in a reserved sea area... but the wells are not unlimited Waiting for you in time. The deadline is thirteen hours." He pointed to the map, and a blue mark appeared in the southern waters on the side of the island. "You can choose by yourself. But I must point out that the islands and reefs in this sea area are very Complicated... Even the MIB can't do a carpet search. So once the situation becomes tricky, you have to rely on yourself."
"Any question?"
The team members stood still.
"No? Very good. Listen, rookies." Fernandez added, "I told you all I know this time. Prepare to deal with any situation," he looked at Zhao Jianfei, "Zhao Jianfei, you are now the captain. . You must bring that hostage, and your team members back safely."
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Jianfei replied calmly.
"Distribute equipment and weapons. Assemble in an hour. We will drop you at the port of Mogadishu, and then we will rely on you."
"Yes, Changgong." Zhao Jianfei replied.
Fernandez saluted and left the room.
Zhao Jianfei looked back at his team members, "Lin Rui, Ivan, Yelena, you will meet me at the Armory in ten minutes. Jiangan, you have a more important task: wait here and get familiar with the task briefing in your hand. I need your professional advice."
The combat equipment displayed on Shendao’s weapons depot is dazzling. A table is piled with guns, daggers, communicators, medical kits, survival equipment, portable computers, diving equipment and even a micro diving propulsion that can be used underwater.
More important than equipment is his team, Zhao Jianfei always thinks so.
Yelena, with her hands crossed on her chest, stood in a corner. She still looked slender and beautiful, with smooth blond hair, but her face still had wild charm. She organized her weapons and equipment familiarly, and put a sniper weapon into a waterproof bag. She has always been the quietest among this group of people. She has pale skin and green eyes under her golden hair. She is very accurate, and she is an artist in the field of sniper shooting.
Ivan crossed Jiro's legs and sat on a stool, turning a sharp-edged dagger. At any time, the British special forces are as thick as a rock, and silent as a rock. The weapons he chose were automatic rifles and pistols. Because of the covert actions, the weapons he chose were equipped with silencers.
Lin Rui made a circle around the table and picked up a set of extremely smooth black diving suit. His number is embroidered on the chest of the dress. "This is our new training suit? We won't wear this thing to fight?"
"It was provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau," Zhao Jianfei explained. "Diving suits and diving gear. Not the best, but it's enough."
They have used this black tights before. This is a modified lightweight polymer material with good sealing. The only drawback is that it is not very comfortable to wear.
"It's too tight." Ivan frowned. "This will hinder my actions."
"We have to wear this thing for this mission." Zhao Jianfei told him, "It is very likely that the cargo ship will not be docked, but will be transported by small boat. So we must be ready to dive to the island. The rest, you guys. Bring whatever you want...but it must be light. We don't have any reconnaissance data in that horrible place, and we must act as fast as possible...otherwise we have to wait for death."
The whole team began to organize weapons.
