Chapter 83: Mysterious force

The attack on the African branch soon alarmed the senior management of Morningstar.
The twelve-seat manager meeting of the company's board of directors was held urgently. All relevant information is listed one by one on the large LCD screen in the conference room.
The chief white old man looked at all people with a sinking face, saying, "Two stations in Africa were attacked, and the number of casualties was nearly 100. Among them, 40 or 50 were combat personnel, and the others were various workers. Yesterday afternoon, The African branch building was sniped by unknown gunmen. Two security guards were killed on the spot, and even Alberta was almost killed. That's what we know so far. What do you think about this?"
"Although our mercenary garrison cannot be compared with regular military bases in scale, its security measures are more stringent, but it is even worse. The ability of the opponent to attack two garrisons in different locations at the same time shows that the opponent They have quite powerful combat capabilities and resources. They can launch two raids at the same time but at different locations. Judging from their raid methods, they are also quite clean and neat, leaving no trace." A middle-aged man said calmly. "This was definitely a well-planned attack, and it was quite successful from command to combat."
"In other words, the other party is very professional." Joe. Claire nodded. "Successfully attacked our two stations, and killed many people, but did not leave any clues that can be traced. This kind of military quality is definitely not what local armed personnel can do."
The chief old man nodded and said, "Yes, and there are a lot of special operations traces from their actions. I have no doubt that this is a well-trained and well-equipped unit, but the question is who this group is, they What is the purpose of ?"
Joe. Claire said indifferently, "Let's think about this issue from another angle. Who can openly be our enemy on the African continent?"
"What do you mean?" The chief old man frowned.
"If you launch an attack on a mercenary company without local armed forces, then it seems that there are only two possibilities left. Either some kind of national behavior, or another group of excellent mercenaries." Qiao smiled lightly, "Yes. The head of a company department uses sniper methods. I don’t think the military of any country will do such a thing. They don’t have to do this at all, because they are our employers. Usually they only need a phone call and we have to do what they want. Do it, so it’s not necessary at all. Then the last one left may be our colleagues."
"You mean other mercenary organizations." The chief old man muttered.
"I dare not assert that it must be so, but this possibility is not a little bit big. After all, we have a large share of the African mercenary market. Since 2000, our company's share of the African mercenary market has exceeded Forty-five percent. Almost many armed factions in central and southwestern Africa are our customers. In this case, it is not surprising that we will become the target of public criticism." Joe shrugged. "I think we should look for our competitors, especially those who have the strength to compete with us for regional monopoly. Maybe we can find some clues."
Michelle Silver Wolf said coldly, "I oppose this."
"Reason?" Joe snorted.
"The reason is very simple. Although there are not many private military companies with the same strength as Morningstar, they are definitely not many. Yes, their market share is indeed not as good as ours, but that is because we operated earlier in Africa, so there are more Good foundation. If we suspect or even accuse one of them without evidence, then we will be passive, because we broke the rule of friendly coexistence in the first place." Michelle shook his head, " So we should not act rashly at the moment."
"Should not be moved?" Joe smiled mockingly, "Silver Wolf, you are really old, are you so old that you can't even fight back?"
Silver Wolf Michelle said indifferently, "Age and experience can never weaken a person's courage, but will only make him appear more rational and calm. I don't need to pretend to be filled with righteous indignation, everyone can feel my anger about this matter. But I don’t think that because of this untrue speculation, we should take tough measures against other companies. After all, private military companies do not rely solely on tying out, but on relationships. Relationships on all sides."
Joe sneered at the table, "According to you, we just endured it like this?"
"Of course not." Michelle shook his head. "I just suggest to postpone all actions, and make plans after finding out the true identity of these attackers."
"That's procrastination." Joe shouted angrily. "Things have already happened. If we have nothing to do and procrastinate again and again, it will be the worst. Because we are at a high place and everyone is watching us. Including ours. Those customers. If we don’t take any action, we are considered weak. This is in Africa! In a world where the weak dominate, we must not take the initiative to show weakness."
The chief old man looked at them, calmly. "You all make sense. But, I only want one thing now. I have to figure out the identity of the other party, and then decide what way to solve it. Otherwise, everything is empty talk."
Michelle nodded and said, "This is what I mean. We must first determine the identity of the other party before discussing other things."
On the twelve seats in the conference room, someone stood up and said, "No matter who this group is, they are still fighting with our people inside the premises. Didn't we find any useful news?"
"The other party is very careful. But even so, they still had people killed in the attack at the two locations, and it is said that the number was 20 or 30. But we never saw the bodies of their dead, nor found anything at the scene. Weapons and equipment that can reveal his identity." First of all, the old man frowned.
"Are their dead in action taken away by them?" The man frowned, "Otherwise, how could the other's body not be found?"
"In fact, they did not take the corpses away, but all of their dead were burned. They were all unrecognizable scorched corpses. They didn’t even leave a whole piece of clothing. It should have used a small white phosphorus incendiary bomb, a kind of Non-standard weapons, there is no way to tell where they were produced. Do you think we can get any useful information from these burnt corpses?" The chief old man said coldly.
Everyone was silent, and no one thought that the other party would have done such a great job, even refusing to leave a dead body. But this also further confirmed that the opponent is a group of very professional and ruthless fighters.
