Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 356: Ruthless Boss

"Don't worry, Lieutenant Colonel. Your family is very safe now. We just asked them to come over and sit with us."

The strange male voice said in a teasing tone: "We are hosting your family because we are your friends. We are friends, right?"

This rhetorical question made Freddy feel as if he was being burned by the scorching sun.

No way, your family is in someone else's hands.

Yes, but it's against my will.

"Yes……"

Finally, Freddy backed down.

"Since we're friends, it's only natural for friends to help each other," the man on the other end of the phone said. "I don't have time to beat around the bush. Tell your people to evacuate the Tame area and stop searching. Otherwise, your family will never come home."

Freddy glanced in the direction of the command tent, sweat dripping down his forehead: "Despicable..."

"Lieutenant Colonel, if I were you, I would give an answer immediately, otherwise..."

Before the other party finished speaking, the terrified screams of Freddy's wife and daughter were heard from the other end.

"Assholes! If you dare to touch a hair on my family, I will bury you with me!"

Freddy's voice was a little loud, attracting the attention of the sentry not far away, who peeked over here.

He quickly lowered his voice: "If you dare to touch my family, I won't let you go!"

The man on the other end of the line didn't seem to take Freddy's threat seriously at all. He sneered, "You don't even know who we are, who are you threatening?"

After that, a gunshot was heard.

Then came the screams of Freddy's son and the cries of his wife and daughter.

"Oh! in God's name, what have you done!"

Freddy was a little overwhelmed and felt like his head was exploding.

The other party seemed to be a guy who would do what he said, without any hesitation or mercy, and he was not at all afraid of his identity as a lieutenant colonel in the special forces.

Freddy's psychological defenses have been shaken.

Although he is a soldier, the Colombian anti-government armed forces or drug trafficking groups have existed for a long time, and this is not the first day they have been encircled and suppressed. After so many years, these organizations are still there.

It's really not worth it to let all my family members be buried with me because of this.

"Don't worry. I only shot your son in the foot. It was a penetrating wound, not fatal. Someone has already bandaged him. But if you are still so stubborn, we will have no less than a hundred ways to torture your family."

This time, Freddy didn't dare to continue bargaining, for fear that the other party might shoot his son again.

"It's not up to me to stop the operation now. The operation was ordered by the Special Operations Command. Even if I wanted to stop it, there's nothing I can do! Besides, the people commanding the operation are Americans!"

"I know. Green beret."

The other party was not surprised at all.

Freddy suddenly realized that the other party had done enough homework to kidnap his family.

"You know I can't stop the operation, so what's the point of kidnapping my family?!" Freddy begged for mercy. "Please let them go. I'm just a lieutenant colonel, not the supreme commander. I'm not as important as you think."

"I said we are friends, remember? Friends should help each other." The other party seemed to have expected Freddy to say this and was not surprised at all.

"So I decided to help you. First, you must delay the operation and disrupt the search and capture. I think you can do that. Second, provide me with some intelligence. I can get your superiors to agree to a withdrawal."

"Intelligence?!" Freddy was stunned: "What intelligence?"

"I want you to contact your superior, Colonel Kemp of Special Operations Command, right now, and tell him that your family has been taken hostage, and someone has called and threatened to kill them if you don't stop your actions."

"what?!"

Freddy's jaw dropped.

He never expected the other party's request to be so bizarre.

In the past, kidnappers were afraid that others would know about their actions, so they tried to make deals without alerting too many people.

Now I am asked to leak information on my own initiative, which is simply unheard of.

"You want me to proactively inform my superiors that my family has been kidnapped?! What do you mean by that?!"

"Don't ask, just do it. Remember, after you make the call, think of a way to slow down the jungle raid as much as possible. I don't care what method you use, at least create some trouble for me. Remember, if Morins and the other man have any problems or die, your family will be buried with them. I swear on God."

After that, the phone was disconnected...

Freddy held the phone, standing there like a statue for a long time, unable to move an inch. Finally, he decided to do it.

Now it seems that the other party's request is not too difficult for me.

Isn't it helping yourself to reveal the information that your family members have been kidnapped?
If you don't let yourself leak it, it will be difficult to do it.

He quickly dialed the phone number of his immediate superior, Colonel Kemp.

Campo is the top commander of Colombia's Joint Special Operations Command (CCOPE).

At the end of 02, the relationship between the Colombian government and the Americans achieved unprecedented improvement, and the two sides signed a series of cooperation agreements, including military and anti-drug cooperation.

CCOPE is a new department born out of this military cooperation agreement. Its organizational structure and mission are similar to those of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff (JSOC) at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, but it is a smaller version.

CCOPE is commanded by a colonel and has five special operations battalions under its jurisdiction: AFEAU, AGLAN, BACOA, ACOEA and BAFEIM.

The five sub-units cover the land, sea and air aspects of Colombian special forces missions and are tailored to specific missions.

The entire department is not affiliated with any military branch and reports directly to the Colombian Joint Staff. It usually has an American officer as an advisor.

Colonel Kemp was a new officer. CCOPE had been established for more than two years and had received a lot of funding and training from the Green Berets. He was eager to achieve results, so he planned this military operation. He chose the ELN, the weakest of the three anti-government armed groups in the country, in order to establish his authority.

Since previous battles with drug cartels and anti-government forces had never yielded much significant results, Kemp believed this was a problem with the intelligence department. This was because this operation bypassed the General Intelligence Directorate and was directly directed by CCOPE for implementation. From bribing Laci to raiding the camp, outsiders were unaware of anything.

They had planned to capture Morins in one fell swoop and severely damage the ELN armed forces, but they did not expect that an unknown arms dealer appeared and took Morins away into the jungle in the Tame area.

"Colonel, I have an emergency to report to you."

As soon as the call was connected, Freddy anxiously reported the difficulties he was facing to his immediate superior.

"My family was kidnapped by ELN militants..."

Until now, he still thought that the people who kidnapped his family were ELN armed forces, and never thought that they were a group of mercenaries from abroad.

"what?!"

Colonel Kemp also sounded a little surprised.

"When did this happen?"

"Just now, someone from the ELN called my mobile phone and threatened me to stop my actions, otherwise they would kill my family..."

Freddy quickly complained, hoping to get his boss's forgiveness.

But he was wrong.

Without a second thought, Kemp gave a chilling reply: "The operation must not be stopped! The encirclement is now very small. We've been planning this operation for so long, searching for so many days and mobilizing so much manpower and resources. We absolutely cannot stop!"

Freddy's heart skipped a beat and he felt half of his body go cold.

Although he knew that military orders were as heavy as a mountain and that there was almost no possibility of stopping the action.

But he didn't expect that the superior whom he always regarded as a brother would be so indifferent.

He refused without even considering himself.

"Colonel... they shot my son in the foot..."

"He attended a military academy, right? He's half a soldier, and he's your descendant. Being the descendant of a soldier is an honor, even if it's glorious!"

Freddy's whining was interrupted again.

Kemp put a big hat on his head.

This hat called honor was big enough to make Freddy's eyes go dark and he couldn't see the road clearly.

"That's it! Don't worry, as long as you're quick! If we can capture Morins quickly, they'll negotiate. The entire ELN will contact us for negotiations. By then, with Morins in our hands, they won't dare to do anything!"

"But……"

Freddy was just about to say that the other party mentioned that if Morins and the other person were hurt, his family would die.

But Kemp didn't even give him a chance to continue speaking and directly hung up the call, leaving only a busy tone in his ears.

beep-

The lonely and cold busy tone seemed to be mocking Freddy.

He stamped his foot and cursed, "I'll fuck your whole family!"
