Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 305 Response
The position of Shanying and Tagore is protected by armored vehicles, so they will not become the target of Barrett's attack.

Just as everyone was panicking and looking for cover, Shanying held down Tagore and pulled Balan, and while urging the crows to start searching, he broke off the rearview mirror of the truck next to him, squatted at the front of the armored vehicle, and carefully extended the rearview mirror to look in the direction where the bullet was probably coming from.

“The muzzle velocity of the Barrett is over 800 meters, and the speed of sound is over 300 meters.

There was nearly two seconds between the bullet and the gunshot, and the enemy was at least one kilometer away from us..."

As he spoke, Shanying saw a tower-like building on the west side of the small building through the reflection in the rearview mirror and said, "Found it. It's on the west side. It looks like a factory..."

Tagore, who was squatting nearby, heard this and picked up the radio, gritting his teeth and saying, "Supa, the sugar factory in the west, take people over to seal off the factory."

As Tagore spoke, the crows had already arrived over the sugar factory...

Just when Shanying thought he should be able to lock on to the sniper's position, a minor explosion occurred in a warehouse at the sugar factory.

Then, for some unknown reason, the warehouse began to burn violently, and huge amounts of thick black smoke rose up.

The fire in the sugarcane warehouse is absolutely out of control with Thailand’s current management and firefighting capabilities.

The moment the fire broke out, there was a commotion inside the sugar factory and the workers began to flee in all directions.

In this case, the role of crows is very small...

Shanying confirmed that the sniper could not continue shooting in that environment. He reached out and patted Tagore, who was a little scared, and said, "The sniper should have run away. From now on, you have to find a hidden place to stay..."

Tagore nodded subconsciously, then frowned and said, "Why did the sniper shoot at the small building?"

Shanying thought for a few seconds, shook his head and said, "If they are from the Knights of the Round Table, then I guess they are sending a signal.

We have cut off the signal around the small building. No matter what the Knights of the Round Table want to do, they will need the cooperation of the terrorists inside to succeed."

As Shanying said this, he saw several local Pattaya policemen in police uniforms rushing over and talking to Tagore. Then Tagore nodded with an unpleasant look on his face...

Shanying knew without a doubt that the police force in Pattaya was definitely insufficient.

Watching Tagore kick the wheel of the armored vehicle hard, Shanying asked, "What happened?"

Tagore said in a grim voice: "There was a fire in the sugar factory. The fire cannot be controlled. We need to evacuate the residents near the sugar factory.

There are not enough police officers there, so they need to draw personnel from my place.”

After hearing this, Shanying said with a heavy face, "You have to be mentally prepared. This is definitely just the beginning!"

When Tagore nodded with a heavy expression and wanted to speak, Kate rushed to their location with her assistant and Sam from the seal and shouted loudly: "What happened?"

Tagore ignored Kate's nervous expression and said to Shanying, "I have to contact my father to request support, and also coordinate the actions of the local police in Pattaya."

Shanying reached out to stop Kate and said to Tagore, "Go ahead and tell the Red Bere to move the defense line 500 meters outward. It would be best if you could send some armored vehicles over."

Shanying glanced at the anxious Kate and said, "Leave it to me..."

Kate watched Tagore leave from the other side, and then returned to the command vehicle under the escort of several special police officers...

She stared into Shanying's eyes and said in a deep voice, "What happened? Why would someone shoot at the small building?"

Shanying had nothing to hide on this issue, and he said with a heavy expression: "According to the intelligence we received, a group of mercenaries entered Pattaya yesterday and wanted to rescue the trapped terrorists.

I don’t know what is in the small building that the terrorists are so determined to get, I think you should know…”

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle glanced at the seal Sam next to him and said with a smile: "Since you think you can solve the problem by yourselves, can you also get rid of those mercenaries?
From the military's involvement in human trafficking in Pattaya to the sea massacre in Krabi, you have been treating Thailand as a battlefield.

No apology, no compensation, not even a hint of regret!
When we were trying hard to rescue the hostages in the small building, you rushed over to cause trouble.

In fact, you don't want to save people at all. You just want to take out those very important things and prevent them from falling into the hands of terrorists.

I suggest you stop wasting time and rather than risk these seals, blow up the building so that everything inside will be destroyed."

Shanying looked at the suspicious look in Sam's eyes, raised his eyebrows at Kate, who had a livid face, and said, "In my impression, SEAL Team Six exists for difficult missions, but if someone conceals key information, someone will definitely die!

Who will be held responsible for the deaths of these soldiers?"

Kate looked at the arrogant Shanying with a cold face and said in a deep voice: "That's our problem, you just need to cooperate."

When it comes to the ability to apply eye drops, Shanying is definitely at the top level.

Facing the strong Kate, he spread his hands and said: "No problem, from now on, the encirclement will retreat 500 meters to leave space for you.

No matter how important it is, it is for you. As Thai police, we need to be responsible for our own people."

After saying that, Shanying pushed Kate aside and walked out, saying to Sam: "If I were you, I would be more careful, because even if you complete the attack, you still need to face the threat of mercenaries if you want to take away those important things."

Sam said in a deep voice: "Our duty is to deal with threats..."

Shanying smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he patted Sam's arm like an old friend and said seriously, "Good luck to you!"

Sam is a mature commander. Of course he could hear that what Shanying just said was intended to sow discord between them and Kate.

He would certainly disobey orders because of this, but he would definitely have doubts and concerns in his heart.

Whether becoming an ambassador's security advisor or a member of SEAL Team Six, we are all top talents. There is no reason for me to obey your orders unconditionally. We are the ones who carry out the mission, so you must give us enough freedom of action and ensure that nothing is concealed.

The result is that if you want to gain the upper hand in the internal game over operational command, you have to win over external forces.

The Thai military and police represented by Shanying are right there!

Whoever can convince the Thai on-site personnel to fully cooperate will have the dominant position!

As the seemingly weaker party, Shanying is displaying a naked conspiracy...

When he turns military and police resources into bargaining chips that can shake the command authority within the United States, Kate and SEAL Team Six will inevitably split.

Because Kate and the SEALs have different goals in detail, a mature commander must not only obey orders, but also learn to take the initiative, otherwise sacrifice is inevitable. A SEAL commander who dares not argue with his superiors is not only unqualified, but also despised by his brothers.

Shanying wants to split them from within and make them seek cooperation from the Thai military and police.

Then Tagore could calmly choose SEAL Team Six as his partner and put Kate, who posed a greater political threat to him, in disguise.

The ultimate goal of all this is to kill the terrorists inside.

It’s just that Thailand can find opportunities more calmly and grab more chips.

If possible, Shanying is ready to make America and even Britain swallow a bitter pill, and then thank them with a pinch of nose in the end.

Trapped in the small building as hostages were Hugo, the head of the CIA in Thailand, and Martha, an agent of MI6. It was these two who led the sea massacre in Krabi and who also launched the raid on the volunteer police office.

Shanying witnessed the miserable conditions of the stowaways on the cargo ship. He still remembers vividly how those underage children were beaten to death on the kang in the cabin.

He had decided a long time ago to make these two people pay the price, but he had never found the right opportunity. Now he felt that the opportunity had come.

After Shanying got rid of Kate and Sam, he began to help Tagore integrate the team around the small building, and then slowly retreated...

Except for the key positions, most of the space is left to the American side.

And how many people does Kate have in total?
There are 6 embassy special agents, 12 CIA field agents, 4 CIA agents, two teams of 14 SEAL Team 8, and supporting staff such as assistants and drivers.

It wouldn't be a big problem for this number of people to surround the small building, but once they were restricted by 'standing guard', subsequent attacks would be completely impossible to launch.

This is the downside of laymen guiding professionals...

The situation would have been much better if Kate had come to negotiate with Tagore in secret instead of bringing people with her to put pressure on him.

Now SEAL Team Six has not only lost its advantage of concealment, they also have to face the demands of terrorists.

Shanying didn't care about the group's embarrassment. He asked a soldier from the 191st Battalion who could speak English to act as an interpreter, found the major commander of the Red Berets, drew a simple map of the surrounding environment with a pen, and then distributed these Red Berets that had never found a place to use their skills.

A full retreat was impossible, so they only withdrew the police officers in front of the small building, but the key points around the small building had to be controlled by themselves.

At the same time, the 500-meter radius cleared by Tagore in advance was fully utilized to form a usable strategic depth.

The major of Red Berets was called Chaisong. Facing Shanying's arrangement, he not only did not have any aversion, but felt relieved instead.

Although the past two days had been easy, Red Berets were completely unable to exert their combat effectiveness.

Chaisong particularly wanted to have a good relationship with Tagore, the nephew of the current Deputy Minister of Defense. However, after arriving, he was unable to display his skills due to the existence of the 191st Battalion.

Now, because of the explosion at the sugar factory, a part of the police force has been withdrawn, and half of the 191st Brigade has gone to the sugar factory to surround possible snipers.

Now there is no need for everyone to crowd together and do duplication of work with the people of the 191st Brigade. As long as the chain of command is sorted out, real combat effectiveness can be formed!
This is the comfortable state of a qualified soldier. The past few days were actually very tormenting for Chaysong...

Shanying easily found the pain point of Red Beret and solved the problem...

Of course, Shanying didn't realize that Red Beret had this problem at first, but when he noticed Chaysong's expression and attitude, he decisively pulled this guy, who didn't speak the same language as him, to find Tagore...

Standing at the door of the command vehicle, watching Tagore hang up the phone, Shanying pushed Chaesong into the vehicle, and then said to Tagore: "Give Major Chaesong the authority to organize the Red Berets to deploy defenses around the perimeter.

If a fight really breaks out, we need to clarify what the three teams, the police, the 191st Brigade, and the Red Berets, should do?
At the same time we need a clear chain of command..."

Shanying looked at Tagore and said seriously: "My friend, you are the supreme commander, you must first know who you should give orders to and what orders you should give!
The attack of the Knights of the Round Table has just begun, and we must be fully prepared to deal with their impact."

Tagore was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly...

As an administrative manager, he is good at directing investigations of cases and maintaining social order, but he is not good at directing operations, otherwise he would not have gathered most of the manpower around the small building.

Shanying saw Tagore looking at him, he reached out and patted Chaysong on the shoulder, and said to Tagore: "Let the soldiers of the 191st Battalion stay around you to ensure your safety, and you will be responsible for coordinating and commanding the police through the radio to maintain order around you.

Tell Chaesong your request, and if fighting breaks out, have him give orders to the Red Berets.

Man, once the Knights of the Round Table continue to act, our manpower will continue to decrease. If we want to improve efficiency, we have to let professionals do professional things! "

Tagore looked at Chaisong, who looked a little confused. He spoke a few words to him in Thai, and then the two of them discussed at a very fast speed. Finally, Tagore nodded in approval and conveyed to Chaisong what Shanying had just said...

Cai Song looked at the mountain eagle in disbelief...

In Thailand, if you don't run around or send someone off, you can't expect a stranger officer to speak for you. This is something he has never encountered since he was promoted to major.

Now he has met him, and has established a relationship with the nephew of the Deputy Minister of Defense, the eldest son of the Paisoko family.

There is no need to mention my gratitude to Shanying...

This guy was so excited that he saluted Tagore to express his determination, then turned around and shook hands with Shanying, saying in English with a heavy accent: "Thank you sir!

We will definitely complete the instructions from our superiors conscientiously!"

Caisong's accent was not correct. Shanying tried hard to digest it before he roughly understood what this guy meant...

This is sharing part of the command authority, that is, Mountain Eagle is also regarded as the superior. As long as Mountain Eagle needs, he can also give orders to Red Beret through him.

Shanying doesn't mind these, but Caisong's attitude is too positive, so he must accept it...

Just when Shanying wanted to flatter the major, Songpa from the 191st Squadron suddenly called over the radio...

"This is Supa. According to information provided by the sugar factory, 10 trucks took away nearly 30 tons of sugar from the warehouse this morning...

Those who bought sugar were not their regular customers, but came temporarily.”

When Tagore heard this, he looked at the mountain eagle and said, "Shit, if we can't find them, something bad will happen..."
