Chapter 40: doubt

"Africa?" Lin Rui frowned slightly. ?
"Yes. An ancient land, the place where mankind originated. However, it is also a land of suffering and plunder. The out-of-control diseases of the Great Famine, and the constant wars." Michelle sighed, "Yes. We have business in war-torn places. So some people say that Africa is a paradise for mercenaries. But I don’t think so. This may be a big market, but compared to heaven, it’s the other extreme."
Jiang An frowned slightly, "So, we are going to Shendao?"
Michelle glanced at this somewhat thin young man, nodded and said, "Fernandez will take you there. I have completely handed over the specific matters of the final stage of the training camp. Among you, I am most worried. It's you, Jiang An. This will be completely different from your previous job. After all, this time, you are no longer a secretary sitting in an office. You are a soldier.
"I'm a born fighter. Although I may not have the body of a fighter, God has given me the heart of a fighter." Jiang An smiled slightly, "I will miss you, boss."
Michelle smiled slightly and said nothing. Jiang Jian has been with him for some time as his secretary. There is a tacit understanding between them. He knew what Jiang An wanted, and he also intended to fulfill his ideal as a fighter.
Michelle is a man who does what he says. That night he invited these team members, including Lin Rui, to have a meal together. A Chinese restaurant in Volgograd. Although there are not many dishes, it is truly Chinese. This was also the first time Lin Rui had a standard Chinese meal after leaving China.
Ivan is a bit obsessed with Chinese food. He even ate three people's share alone. This British man with sequelae of war trauma seemed to forget everything at this time, and even smiled rare.
The restaurant was facing the Volga River. Lin Rui stood at the window and looked at the night view outside, feeling lost.
Jiang An patted his shoulder, walked to his side, smiled and said, "It seems that we two should have a drink. Because of the previous assessment, we should be a little unhappy between us. Although you don't say anything, but I also I know. It's really not a pleasant thing to make you beaten by the fat." He held a glass to Lin Rui, smiled and said, "According to Chinese tradition, this is called peaceful wine. "
Lin Rui took the wine glass and said calmly, "You don't need to explain, you and I are both ordered to do things. We have no choice in many things. Just like the duckweed on the Volga River, wherever the wind blows, it drifts wherever the wind blows, just drifting with the current. After speaking, he picked up the glass and drank it in one go.
"You don't look like someone who goes with the flow." Jiang An smiled slightly.
"A lot of people are different from what they look like, including you. Who would have thought that someone like you would have that kind of disease." Lin Rui shook his head and said nothing.
Jiang An smiled as usual, "I'm used to it a long time ago. But looking at it from another angle, a limited life can make people live more fulfilling. I knew from a young age that I didn't live long, so when others were wasting time and having fun, I But I was studying alone. With the best theoretical results, I was favored by the best military academies, and I was even called into the battle tactics research room. But I knew that I could not be a soldier. Fortunately, I met Mi Schell, I can’t be a soldier but at least I can be a soldier."
Lin Rui nodded and said, "I understand that everyone has their own beliefs. To outsiders, it is a waste of time, but often the person involved thinks it is important."
"Forget it, I don't want to talk about it." Jiang An shrugged. "What do you think about going to Africa?"
"No opinion. What about you, you seem to know a little bit about that place." Lin Rui looked at him and said.
Jiang An smiled exaggeratedly, "That place in Somalia? Haha, the most disorderly and chaotic place. Warlords have been fighting for years, starving everywhere, robbers are rampant everywhere, and pirates are rampant. But it is also the least regulated place, where mercenary companies are not there. Subject to any restrictions. The more chaotic the area, the greater the power of various military security companies. No one dares to control and no one can control. The sunken island we are going to is in the Gulf of Aden waters, where Fernandez used to be the company. Director. You will understand the specific situation when you get there."
Lin Rui just wanted to talk, but there was a burst of laughter behind him. Zhao Jianfei walked over with a wine glass, "What are you talking about, so lively?"
"It's nothing. It's just that our newcomer has some questions about Shen Dao. I'll help him answer it." Jiang An shrugged.
Zhao Jianfei walked over and nodded, "Jian An, I have heard of you a long time ago. It is said that you are Mr. Mi's youngest think tank, and he respects you very much."
"Thank you." Jiang An smiled slightly.
"Since this is the case, can you answer one of my doubts?" Zhao Jianfei looked at him calmly.
Jiangan sighed, "Even if you don't say it, I know what you want to ask me. Is it about Gross?"
"Yes." Zhao Jianfei looked at him, then looked at Lin Rui, "I heard that you two killed Gross. At least on the surface. But I have a question."
"What question?" Jiang An smiled.
"It's not the first time I have dealt with Gross. Since my brother died in his hands, I have spent almost six years tracking everything about him. I have had several chances to confront him since then, but it came In the end he always escaped safely. It can be said that I know him far better than anyone." Zhao Jianfei said slowly.
"What are you trying to say?" Jiang An shrugged.
"I don't believe that he will die in the hands of the two of you. At least he won't die so easily." Zhao Jianfei looked at Jiang An.
Jiang Jian was silent for a while, then nodded, "I understand what you mean, you suspect that the person we killed was not the real Gross."
Zhao Jianfei didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.
Jiang An looked at Lin Rui, then at Zhao Jianfei, and then whispered, "Well, if you really want to know. I can tell you something. That's right, I have studied a lot of Gross's information, right Some of his combat habits and personality have been analyzed. I also think that during Thunder Operation, many of his practices at that time did have some problems. It was not like Gross himself. Therefore, after the operation was over, I set about Some investigations. And these investigations proved that it was Gross himself who was killed."
"How to prove?" Zhao Jianfei said solemnly.
"First of all, Gross is a former member of the Israeli wild boy army. He has a fairly complete file. From blood type, to DNA samples, and even medical records. They all match the person I killed. I even checked his medical records. When he arrived at the dentist's record, he used the computer to retrieve the filming situation of his teeth, and compared with the deceased, it was completely consistent." Jiang An said slowly.
Lin Rui frowned, "Tooth marks are just like fingerprints. It is difficult to impersonate. This means that the person you killed was really Gross?"
Jiang An nodded and said, "Yes, nor is it."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"The person I killed was indeed Gross, and indeed a former member of the special forces. But I suspect that he was not the leader of the free mercenary group, Gross." Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "Gross is probably just standing The little guy at the front desk. There may be someone else behind him. And that person never shows up, and everything is arranged through Gross. So the outside world never knows that the leader of the Israeli free mercenary group has someone else. Know the Gross we saw."
"You mean impersonation? Someone is using his identity to secretly control the entire free mercenary group." Zhao Jianfei frowned, "What is your basis?"
"First, Gross's original defensive operation plan was very detailed, three-dimensional defense, leaving almost no flaws. This is in sharp contrast to his subsequent fainting. It is completely different from the same person. Second, The reason why he made successive mistakes in the later period was because Lin Rui’s fifth team blew up the communication base station and destroyed the satellite communication. In other words, the communication between the person behind the scenes and Gross himself was cut off. This led to He couldn't receive the instructions of the people behind the scenes, and had to do his own way, which led to all losses." Jiang An said slowly. "I found a hidden miniature earplug in his ear. This also proves that he has been in contact with someone in time."
"Gross isn't the leader of that free mercenary group?" Zhao Jianfei was slightly surprised.
"One more thing, I don't know if I should say it." Jiang An looked at Zhao Jianfei and said, "Because I am not sure if this is good news or bad news for you."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"I checked Gross's shoulders and palms." Jiang An said calmly, "He is a very good special soldier, but he is not a professional sniper. In other words, the person who killed your brother Zhao Jianye at the time would definitely not be he."
"What are you talking about?!" Zhao Jianfei's face changed sharply.
"I just think you have the right to know the truth." Jiang An looked at him and said, "As far as I know, your brother was killed by a small-caliber sniper rifle remotely. The only country equipped with a small-caliber sniper rifle is China, type 88. 5.8mm sniper rifle, this gun also has a foreign trade model 97 sniper rifle with a caliber of 5.56mm. This gun is the world's first 5.56mm sniper rifle. In addition, the United States and other countries have also developed 5. 56mm sniper rifles, but none of them have been adopted by the military. They are only used in the civilian market and competitions. That is to say, the armies of other countries are not equipped with small-caliber sniper rifles at all."
"You mean that I killed my brother, maybe he was a Chinese mercenary? This is impossible!" Zhao Jianfei shook his head, "Gross' free mercenary group is almost all Israelis."
Jiang Jian shook his head and said, "I didn't say that it was a Chinese mercenary who killed your brother. I just said that no one of Gross's mercenary team used such a non-standard weapon. Except for one person-that A hidden leader who has never appeared behind the scenes."
Zhao Jianfei's face changed slightly, "Are you sure?"
Jiang An smiled slightly, "We are incapable of losing our horses, and we are not blessed. On the bad side, we have not been able to avenge your brother. But on the good side, you have the opportunity to do it yourself. If we have a chance, we can find that freedom. Words from the head behind the mercenary group."
