Chapter 3022: Big action

The next day, news of unidentified armed missile attacks at the joint military camp in Agadez continued to ferment. On one side is a tough statement from the US military, expressing its full support for the six African countries to continue the war on terrorism in the Sahel region to the end. On the other side, dozens of well-known terrorist organizations are competing to claim responsibility for the incident. And news broke that these organizations have united with each other to form a powerful Sahel People’s Armed Group, which is about to fight to the end with the Western imperialist colonists.
With the escalation of various statements and wars of words between the two sides, the security situation in the Sahel has also deteriorated.
In the past few days, more than a dozen attacks have occurred in Niger alone, resulting in more than 100 deaths. A coalition armoured vehicle was hit by a bomb on the border between Mali and Niger, resulting in the death of two coalition soldiers. Since the start of the anti-terrorist operation in Africa, nearly a hundred joint force soldiers have been killed.
Faced with this situation, the US and French forces have also begun to exert their strength. First, the French Foreign Legion expanded the scope of counter-terrorism and launched a military operation code-named "Robin". At present, there are about 4,000 French Foreign Legion soldiers stationed in the Sahel region, fighting with the multinational armies in the region to jointly combat terrorism. The French Defense Minister stated that the anti-terrorism operation has achieved certain results. Since the implementation of the operation, the French army has killed 450 extremist militants in the Sahel region.
The Americans are even more unceremonious. Although they did not send ground troops, they have repeatedly sent drones to bomb terrorist camps on the Niger border.
The United Nations Security Council also held consultations on the security situation in the African Sahel region and discussed the United Nations comprehensive strategy for the Sahel region. However, the local security situation remains severe and complex. Increasing frequency of terrorist attacks started to catch the newly formed joint force by surprise.
After Lin Rui and the others finished the task, there was no further task arrangement and they were resting every day. In order to avoid trouble, they did not stay in the joint military camp, but lived in a foothold in Niamey.
This is a temporary hiding place for the Black Island Company, a small three-story building. The mercenaries have nothing to do here, and some people gather around to play cards. Sergey drank beer and watched TV shows in Hausa language that he didn't understand. He complained that there are always only two channels and no good programs. Crazy Horse was shaving with a sharp combat knife. Scarface sat on the shabby sofa, in a daze. And Sausage has already lost his last few bills in the poker game.
Lin Rui was sorting out the detailed combat report of the previous mission, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the terrorist attack on the joint military camp was weird.
Indeed, as the Silver Wolf said, even if the secret agency bought these terrorists, they should not attack the US military. Compared with the armed forces of major powers like the US and French forces, they should choose to attack relatively weak government forces. A secret armed organization, no matter how powerful it is, it will not be confident enough to provoke a superpower like the United States. What's more, the secret agency's original intention is to disrupt the entire North Africa, and they will not take the initiative to attack the US military.
"Not finished yet?" Crazy Horse walked to Lin Rui's side, took a cigarette from the cigarette case beside him, and held it to his mouth.
"It's finished, but it feels a bit wrong." Lin Rui sighed, "Is there any news from the camp?"
"No, it is said that the Americans and French are studying an operation. As a member of the military advisory group, Silver Wolf also participated. The specifics are unknown. But it is very likely that this is the big operation that Silver Wolf said last time. I think the US military is very good. It may be hard to come to the Sahel." Crazy Horse took a breath of flue.
"How hard is it to be hard?" Lin Rui looked at him.
"It's not clear yet. After the Silver Wolf meeting is over, we should be able to get a general idea." Crazy Horse nodded, "But I have a hunch that the U.S. military has suffered a loss this time and won't be able to bear it like this. They are super super A big country is the world’s policeman and the strongest military power on this planet. Everyone is watching. They can’t just forget about the attack this time.

While talking, Sausage ran over and said, "Silver Wolf has a new mission. He told us not to leave, he will be there soon."
"He is here?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, he said he just finished the meeting. There is a new task for us." Sausage replied.
"Well, I finally have work to do. I no longer have to stare at this broken TV and watch some Hausa programs." Sergey dropped the beer bottle and said, "Boss, when shall we act?"
"Waiting for the news of Silver Wolf. Tell the brothers that no one will go out before Silver Wolf arrives." Lin Rui nodded, finished uploading the report, and closed the tactical computer in front of him.
Silver Wolf and a few mercenaries arrived more than half an hour later. Seeing that Lin Rui and others were there, he nodded slightly and said, "It's good if you are all here, we have a new mission."
Lin Rui made a gesture and asked the brothers to sit down and listen to Silver Wolf's arrangement of new tasks.
The Silver Wolf whispered, "I just ended the meeting of the joint counter-terrorism force. The Americans and French intend to organize a large-scale operation with the goal of several large terrorist organizations that recently claimed to have joined the Sahel People’s Armed Group. It is reported that this Several terrorist organizations have been active recently. The many attacks on civilians that occurred this month are basically related to them. More importantly, a US military informant provided a piece of information. These organizations have all of them. Short-range missiles.
According to the investigation, the missile used to attack the US military base should be the same type, the Russian Dot E modified model. It is reported that this type of missile is an improved version of the old-fashioned missile. Even Russia does not currently have it. I don't know where they came from. "
"It can only be provided by the secret society." Lin Rui nodded.
"So the Americans and French feel that these terrorist organizations must be knocked out to show their great power." Silver Wolf nodded, "They are going to attack many terrorist strongholds in the Sahel in a week. The assault was launched. The attack was initiated by the French foreign legion and joint forces, and the US military was responsible for air strikes. In addition to drones, this time they will dispatch two AC-130 air gunboats to join ground operations." The wolf nodded.
"Great battle. The French Foreign Legion has good strength, plus it is good at fighting in Africa, and it has enough experience in combating terrorists. With the assistance of joint forces, plus the terrorist firepower of aerial gunboats, I can't think of it. What can these terrorists do. But then again, what does this have to do with our mission?" Lin Rui nodded.
