Chapter 1923: Bomb the Shen Mason

"Do you want to recruit him?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Of course not, I just need him to help me a little bit. And you have met my little request, I am very grateful. This time I owe you a favor." Aladdin chuckled, "Forget it, let's not Let’s talk about this topic. How about other things?"
"What else?" Lin Rui looked at him.
"I know you will come today, and you don't have any missions at the moment, so I want to provide you with a new mission." Aladdin looked at Lin Rui.
"Do you want to hire us?" Lin Rui frowned.
Aladdin sighed, "No, I'm just acting as an introducer. The client is one of my clients. More than a month ago, they attacked American warships with anti-ship missiles. But their level is too good. Poor, failed to hit. But these people don't know how to reflect that their training level is too bad, and their weapons have problems."
"Using missiles to attack U.S. warships?" Lin Rui said in amazement, "Aren't you kidding me?"
"Of course not. Although I have a good sense of humor, I never make jokes about business matters." Aladdin smiled and winked at Duncan.
Duncan handed a newspaper to Lin Rui. After reading it, Lin Rui found that it was all in Arabic.
Aladdin smiled and said, "Sorry, this is a local newspaper, there is really no Chinese version."
"Just tell me, what does this mean?" Lin Rui frowned.
"The USS Mason, the US Navy destroyer operating in the Red Sea near Yemen, was attacked by missiles. The attackers fired two missiles. The missiles failed to hit the target and fell into the sea." Aladdin said slowly.
"I've heard about this, it is said that the Houthi armed forces in Yemen did it." Lin Rui nodded. "So, what do they want to hire us for? Help them blow up this American warship?" He smiled mockingly.
"Yes." Aladdin said solemnly.
Lin Rui was stunned. He had just said casually like a joke, but he didn't expect Aladdin to admit it all at once.
"What are you kidding?" Lin Rui frowned, "Who would do this?"
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious." Aladdin said slowly.
"Are you serious? Do you really think we're going to bomb the US ship for some Houthis?" Lin Rui shook his head, "This is impossible."
"Of course it's not a mess of weapons, it's just for money. They paid a lot of money this time. As long as you can kill the American warships, the money will be yours." Aladdin looked at Lin Rui.
"It's impossible." Lin Rui shook his head, "Silver Wolf Michel will not take this task. The risk is too great. The Black Island Company is a private military company registered in the United States and has strict regulations on accepting tasks. "
"Yes, according to those regulations, your Black Island company can't even fight directly, but can only provide security and logistics support. But in fact?" Aladdin whispered, "What have you done, you are always the best clearly."
"These are completely different things. Once we are found out that we attacked the US military, the price we will pay is too great. This task is too crazy, Silver Wolf will not agree to it." Lin Rui shook his head.
"What if the Americans agree?" Aladdin looked at Lin Rui.
"The Americans agree too? They agreed to blow up their warships, are they brain sick?" Lin Rui frowned.
"They are not sick, they are shrewd. Saudi Arabia is one of the protagonists of the Yemen war, and the Americans are their allies. Losing an old warship for this will not only win allies, but also put themselves in a favorable position of public opinion. The United States will continue to ensure freedom of navigation around the world, and will continue to take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of ships and personnel." Aladdin smiled slightly.
"What do you mean? This is a trap?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes. In general, the Houthis wanted to blow up the American warships to gain power. But the Americans wanted to do everything they could, blow up their old warship, and put themselves in a more favorable position. The situation. If you enter, you can directly deter Yemen by force. If you retreat, you can ask for funding to rebuild the ship.
The new president of the United States recently vowed to rebuild the depleted US military and remove budgetary restrictions. At present their biggest limitation lies in Congress.
The bombing of the warship is just an opportunity to show the US Congress that the existing equipment is already quite backward. Promote this incident and strive for a high military budget. "Aladdin said slowly.
"Directing and acting?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Almost like this, so this time it appears that the Houthi armed forces hired you to bomb the U.S. warship. But the U.S. military will very cooperatively evacuate everyone and help you blow up the ship. In addition, after the mission is over, they will also Pay you." Aladdin smiled.
"What kind of task is this?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Sounds ridiculous, isn't it? But in fact, each needs what it needs. The Houthis need to blow up a U.S. warship to boost morale. Declare to the rest of the world that I dare to fight even the Americans and I am not afraid of anything. It takes this small setback on the surface to satisfy their purpose of putting pressure on Congress to obtain high military expenditures and build a new type of ship. And you made money." Aladdin said slowly.
"Then what can you get?" Lin Rui said suspiciously.
"I can win friends. I turned a thing that would have caused both parties to lose, and turned into a situation where each side gains." Aladdin looked at Lin Rui.
"This is not a war, this is simply a show." Lin Rui frowned. "Since they want to make such a secret song, why don't they cooperate to blow up the ship?"
"First of all, they are not secret music, they are enemies, they are not a group of people at all. And the Americans need some more professional people to do this, only in this way, his allies will believe. Said Houthi armed forces Saudi Arabia and other countries certainly don't believe it if the US warship is blown up. The skinny camel is also bigger than the horse. No matter how ruined the US warship is, it will not be blown up by a group of people with similar quality to the militia. But the mercenaries are hard to say. "Aladdin whispered.
"So, this is one willing to fight, one willing to endure? There is such a strange thing?" Lin Rui frowned.
"It's just such a strange thing. People from the US military are talking about it in Silver Wolf Michel's office. He must be asking you to help." Aladdin whispered.
"This is too strange." Lin Rui still couldn't believe it, he shook his head.
"It's not surprising if you want to wear it." Aladdin smiled. "Propaganda and public opinion are part of modern warfare. Through this, they can get the effects they want. The essence of war is profit. As long as it is profitable, anything Anything can happen."
