Chapter 110: African town

"Probably not, this news was directly provided to Silver Wolf by an arms dealer. This article is from... 　 Do you know who this arms dealer is? It is the Alpha that we rescued from Ephra last time. And as This time the intelligence provider, he will also appear in Perata. Of course, his request is not to involve him." Zhao Jianfei slowly said.
"Why does that arms dealer help us?" Jiang An frowned.
"Businessman, I can’t afford to be profitable early. He’s just arrived and doesn’t have a sufficient share of Perata’s arms market. So he wants to use us to open the way for him. In other words, we confuse General Dengby and those The arms dealer’s business is an opportunity for him to be profitable." Zhao Jianfei sneered, "Otherwise how could he provide us with information?"
"But is he worthy of trust?" Lin Rui frowned. "Perhaps he took over the deal immediately after we disturbed the business between General Dumby and the arms dealer. Then we would fight General Dumby's diamond trade and arms trade. His plan will still fall through. As you said, he is just a businessman."
"No, General Dunby is suspicious, never doing business with strangers, and Alpha is a newcomer." Jiang An shook his head, "If the intelligence for this operation comes from Alpha, I don't think the problem is big. He Knowing who Silver Wolf is, he dare not deceive Silver Wolf."
Zhao Jianfei slowly said, "Actuaries, wait a moment for the specific task briefing and distribute it to everyone. Now let’s introduce the information we have."
Ji Ji nodded, switching pictures on the projector. The head of a black man appeared on the projector. This person was wearing a green military uniform and a hood. "This is General Dumby Zulu, the leader of the rebels of the Liberty Liberation League, and the top war criminal of the Santujak government."
As soon as the picture turned, it switched to another picture. The picture was a thin black man who looked even darker in a white suit. From the low-resolution images, even some of the facial features are not clear.
Jiang An said slowly, "This man is Akka, the fourth person of the Free Liberation League. General Denby has four wives, one of whom is Akka's sister. This person is mainly responsible for the economic and trade of the rebel organization and is in charge of With the money bag of the rebels. This man is very cautious and has won the trust of General Denby. As always, he will be responsible for this diamond and arms trade."
"How many people are in their transport convoy and how is the armed equipment?" Ivan frowned.
"Two trucks transporting rough diamonds are escorted by six armed trucks. The number of rebels may be more than fifty, and there may even be people from the secret agency involved." Jiang Andao.
Lin Rui frowned, "Such a large caravan? Does Denby's rebels want to recruit people to grab it?"
"This is his usual practice. General Denby likes to show the limelight. He likes to show his face in various Western newspapers and magazines, talking about freedom, equality and peace. To show his rebel army and his own political influence. So I like to fantasize in everything. I am a typical African warlord." Jiang An said indifferently.
Lin Rui sneered and shook his head. "The Western reporters who listened to him advocating freedom and equality must have never been to the mines he took over, and never seen child labor like slaves. This is really shameless."
"I am more concerned about the raw diamond ore of that truck. After we it, will it be considered a welfare?" Qin Fen smiled with open eyes.
"The value of a rough diamond is determined by its shape, clarity, color, and weight. If it is an industrial diamond, the price will not be too high. Diamonds from areas of armed conflict, also known as blood diamonds, are originally not expensive. The price of unsorted rough is even lower. The value of the two trucks of raw ore is about one million dollars. Unfortunately, we can’t touch these.
Jiang An smiled.
"Why?" Qin Fen said unwillingly.
"Because robbing is not our purpose. Our purpose is to disrupt General Dengby's diamond trade and cut off the sources of funding for the rebels." Zhao Jianfei smiled, "So we just pretended to attack them, making the rebels panic and take the diamonds. The convoy will be transported back. At the same time, we have to deal with the other side of the transaction, the arms dealer with whom we are trading. Only in this way can we create the illusion that the rebels are unruly and blackmailed, and further undermine General Dengby's already bad reputation. "
"What you mean is that we pretended to attack the rebels, but we actually attacked the other side of the transaction and robbed the arms. The arms dealer found out that we had been robbed, and the rebels ran away with the diamonds. Naturally, we would take this responsibility. Blame it on General Dunby, and suspect that he is secretly eating black. And General Dunby himself is a notorious warlord who often does such things. So if such a thing happens, many people will not be surprised. Jiang An nodded, "Pelata is an important blood diamond and arms trading place, and news will spread quickly. Out of self-protection, no one will do business with this group of rebels in a short time. This That is our purpose."
"Yes, the areas controlled by the rebels are extremely poor and cannot squeeze other oil and water. So apart from the diamond mines, they have no other source of funding. If the blood diamond trade is hit again, this will be for the rebel's economy. It's fatal. And without money, you can't pull the team." Zhao Jianfei slowly said.
"This is really a ruthless trick to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot." Lin Rui nodded.
"The Santujak government forces have been driven to a stricken head by the rebels of General Demby, and the Blue Helmets on which the government forces rely are simply shrunk at the base and dare not come out. That's why they wanted to find us. If we act this time The successful blow to General Dunby’s diamond trade can effectively curb the growth of the rebels. The Santujak government forces are happy to pay for this." Zhao Jianfei nodded.
"Well, I can't wait. Let's talk about it, how do we act?" Ivan eagerly said.
"The official authorization for this operation has been issued, operation code 0673. Our entire team is responsible for all operations. In this operation, the conflict of frontal firefighting is not the main goal. The main goal is to mislead the parties to the transaction and let them Hate each other. And make the impact of this incident bigger." Zhao Jianfei slowly said.
"We'd better get the rebels one step at the trading location of Perata and make arrangements in advance." Jiang An frowned, "and this time, we will mainly pretend to be a surprise attack. Try our best to bring the disaster to the rebels. So. There are a lot of pre- and post-work, even more important than the action itself."
"Yes, the trade between the rebels and the arms dealer is going on the day after tomorrow. We have one day today to study the plan and all the details of the implementation. We will leave tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we must arrive in Perata, and then complete all the previous deployments. Time is tight. , I hope you can hurry up and adjust your status." Zhao Jianfei smiled slightly, "This task is not difficult, but if it is done, it can give the rebels a heavy blow."
"I have one last question. How can we make those arms dealers think that we are General Dengby's people?" Peng Lefeng couldn't help asking.
"How about wearing a blue-gray military uniform and a red headgear?" Lin Rui smiled slightly. "Since those arms dealers can hold their feet in Perata, they naturally have their eyes and ears. We don't need to show any identity. They will naturally find out who is wearing some blue military uniforms."
Jiang An nodded, "This is exactly what I want to say."
The action plan is still put forward by Jiang An, who is extremely good at tactical strategies and overall planning. His plan of action, like his nickname, can be called actuarial. Each step has been carefully scrutinized, taking into account various accidents and coping methods. The members of the UFO team were discussing the details of this mission plan for the entire day.
The next day they set off in full gear, Lin Rui was still an automatic rifle, standard individual equipment with a pistol. The rest of the team also finished their outfits and boarded the helicopter together. The helicopter with the Morningstar logo is too eye-catching to go directly to Perata. They can only be sent near the border of Santujac, and then they must walk to Perata.
Coming down from the helicopter, the huge airflow from the propeller made Lin Rui squinted unnaturally, looking at the barren scene around him.
There are only a few roads paved with asphalt. In most areas, the road is just a dirt road pushed out by wheels. Its borders are blurred and covered with thick dust. Any car passing by will lift up dust in the sky, which looks like a dirt color from a distance. The long dragon seemed to be devouring the entire car, only the front of the car barely escaped.
This long dragon is very suitable for the land of Africa at this moment. It is the dry season when the vast red land is lifeless, with only clusters of weeds and scattered thorns.
"Let's go, we cross this border highway, and it is Perata." Zhao Jianfei looked down at the GPS display in his hand.
"This is really a place where birds don't shit." Qin Fen shook his head.
"Development depends on aid, food depends on trees, transportation depends on walking..." Peng Lefeng patted his shoulder and said, "Have you never heard of the characteristics of Africa?"
Jiang Jian smiled slightly, "I don't comment on your two regional prejudices. But when you get to Perata, you will find that you are not only wrong, but how wrong you are."
"Can this be wrong?" Qin Fen asked in amazement. "Is Perata different from other African towns?" After arriving, he realized that he was really wrong, and indeed wrong.
Perata is the most important town on the southwest border of Santujac. This African town surrounded by ancient deserts is full of European style. There is no fresh water and no arable land, but there is a first-class standard of living.
Everything comes from the large number of illegal diamond transactions here, most of which are illicit conflict diamonds, which are called blood diamonds by the international community. The arms trade here is even more in full swing.
