Chapter 3341: Situation changes

After returning to Mali, Lin Rui and others reported the two missions to Michelle Silver Wolf.
Silver Wolf Michelle was silent for a while and said, "I have received the report of personnel loss in advance. To be honest, even I did not expect to encounter such a huge loss during the evacuation process."
Lin Rui nodded, "No one thought of this. But this time the loss, although the O2 team still retained most of the core members, and did not hurt their muscles, it would be difficult to perform the mission in a short time. The team needs to add new people, and these new people have to learn how to integrate into the team."
Silver Wolf Michelle nodded, "O2 has always been the company's most elite team. I don't want O2's combat ability to drop too much because of this action. So, you start to prepare and I will give you permission. , Select players from all the mercenaries of the entire company. In addition, you can also recruit people from outside. Angel has a list of mercenaries we planned to recruit. Most of them are good players, they should be able to be faster You can also refer to the team’s integration."
Lin Rui nodded, "I will."
"In addition, the information you brought back is very important. The situation in Libya will change greatly in the near future. We may also have to make preparations early and make some relevant deployment adjustments." Silver Wolf meditated.
"What kind of changes do you think the reappearance of Hamis will bring to Libya?" Lin Rui asked.
Silver Wolf pondered, "The current situation is still more difficult to say. The overall situation in Libya has one of the biggest influences on the attitude of France and the Americans. Although the French are currently supporting the Libyan unity government, judging from the current results, It's really not quite satisfactory. Not to mention the extremism before, and judging from the recent local conflicts, the French support for them is not as firm as before.
Coupled with the armed presence of the secret agency in Sirte, the situation in Libya has become even more confused. At this time, the appearance of Hamis and the pro-Gaddafi armed group once again made a comeback. I think the French and Americans should be reluctant to intervene again. They should adopt a wait-and-see attitude. After all, the current chaos in Libya has begun to affect their fundamental interests. They also eagerly hope that someone can come out and break this chaotic situation. "
"Even if this person is Gaddafi's son?" Lin Rui frowned.
"This is politics. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests." Silver Wolf shook his head, "We are just some small people seeking money in this war and chaotic world. We can't control many things. So my attitude is, first Withdraw our people and wait and see. Anyway? Manita and Hamis have a clear attitude towards the secret society. They know this is a long-term threat, so there is no peace between them. It can only be confrontation. For us, even if it is not a good thing, it will not be too bad."
"You mean, their existence? It will hinder the development of the Secret Society in Libya to a certain extent. This will give us anti-terrorism operations in other countries and form a certain degree of benefit." Lin Rui nodded.
"That's what it means." Silverwolf walked on the trail. "Recently, terrorists have been making a lot of noise. Some extremist organizations that were wiped out by the coalition forces have changed their places and have begun to return to their old businesses. Terror in several countries in Northwest Africa There are endless attacks, and the governments of these countries have begun to a little bit unable to support them."
"In that case, the pressure on the joint counter-terrorism force is not small." Lin Rui looked at him and said.
"It's not just a small one. Several countries have already begun to shake." Silver Wolf smiled bitterly. "These African countries themselves are not really for counter-terrorism. It's just that these extremists have affected their dominance. With military assistance from Western countries, they will rush. Many of the leaders of these countries are of warlord background. They regard the military as their own private property. How can they not retreat when they encounter some setbacks. Power comes from the barrel of a gun, and they are better than anyone else. Understand the meaning of this sentence.
Only when someone has a gun can he have a turf, and only when he has a turf can he be the boss. The loss of one's own troops is equivalent to the loss of one's own strength. Doesn't this kill them? So now, the joint counter-terrorism force is also panic. The United States and France have been aware of this, and they feel it is time to show their actual support for anti-terrorism operations in Africa. "
Lin Rui mocked, "What are they going to do? Continue to increase aid? To be honest, they also understand that this is useless. How many billions have they spent before and after? Yes, no matter how much money they have spent. , It's just a ditch."
"This time they are not going to spend two money. The French foreign legions have all assembled, and the American African Command has begun operations, gradually using some African military bases." Silver Wolf whispered.
"So, are they going to be serious?" Lin Rui frowned.
"You can say that. Of course, they don't say that to the outside world. They can only say that in order to support the African people's anti-terrorism and security cause, as a major country, it is an indispensable responsibility." Silver Wolf smiled.
"Are they really planning to directly invest in troops?" Lin Rui frowned.
Silver Wolf shook his head. "A large-scale investment of troops is definitely not possible, but most of the French foreign legions are stationed in Africa, and currently there are still about 8,000 French troops stationed in East Africa, Central Africa and West Africa. The country with the most garrisons. France, known as the African Gendarmerie, has many overseas bases in Africa. According to statistics, French garrisons in the region include 500 from Ivory Coast, 825 from Chad, 3,200 from Djibouti, 680 from Gabon, and 1,170 from Senegal.
The total force invested by the French army in Mali will eventually reach 2,500, surpassing the maximum force of 2,400 in the "Operation Lafayette" in Afghanistan. The French army mainly departed from military bases in Chad and Côte d’Ivoire to Mali. The first batch of troops was 750 troops, the main force being the Army Sparrowhawks in Chad.
This unit has demonstrated its skills in the battle between Chad and Libya that year, and has also intervened in the China-Africa coup. It is a unit familiar with desert operations and has an African combat tradition. In terms of equipment, the French ground forces have invested a total of 30 armored vehicles, mainly AMX-10RC wheeled assault guns and VAV personnel carriers, all of which are light vehicles suitable for desert operations. Among them, the AMX-10RC wheeled assault gun weighs only more than 10 tons and has strong maneuverability. It can not only undertake reconnaissance tasks, but also is equipped with a 105mm large-caliber artillery, which can directly provide fire support for offensive troops. "
