Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 474 Determination to Act
Simon in Irigo received a notice that Director Kelly wanted to video chat with him on a confidential line.

After being processed by the confidentiality department, a link prompt popped up on his computer soon.

"SIR, what do you want from me?"

He couldn't hide his shock.

Although he is not Kelly's subordinate, he is the station chief of one of the Middle East branches under the Intelligence Department.

But someone like Kelly actually contacted me directly, which shows that this matter is very urgent and the confidentiality level is very high.

"Simon, there's someone I want to ask you about."

"Who?"

"Chinese, Chinese name - Song Heping."

When this name reached Simon's ears, it immediately became well-known.

His face changed slightly and his muscles stiffened.

"What? You look surprised."

Although it was a video call, Kelly keenly noticed that Simon was a little unnatural.

"Yes."

Simon was a webmaster after all, and although he was shocked and his actions were noticed, he immediately turned around.

"I've dealt with him before, I've detained him before, and I have some issues with him."

Let’s put aside the relationship first.

In any case, this is the safest approach.

"I know a little about these situations, so I found you."

Kelly got straight to the point: "I want to know if he's been in Iligo recently?"

"No." Simon said truthfully, "He seems to be in South America, Venezuela."

Kelly then asked, "What is this person's relationship with the US military in Iraq?"

"I don't know," Simon said. "But they've won the transportation contract for the US military in Iraq. Those who get this contract are people with deep military connections. I don't think I need to elaborate on this."

Kelly nodded thoughtfully. "He seems to be assisting the military in the arms trade? Didn't you mention in a previous report that he was arrested because of a misunderstanding with his company?"

Simon felt a little uneasy.

The last thing he wanted to mention was the SA-9 missile deal in Africa.

Because of this incident, Song Heping has been holding on to his weakness until now, and he dares not provoke this person again.

"Yes, that happened, but later General Peter came over and explained that this was a military operation. As for the purpose, it involves military secrets, and I have no right to ask."

"It's a bit interesting."

Kelly smiled and said, "There's information indicating that he once purchased two SU-24 fighter-bombers in Irigo under the guise of military processing, correct?"

"That's true. If he didn't get approval from the military, he wouldn't be able to buy this kind of aircraft." Simon breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Kelly no longer mentioned the African arms trade.

Apart from this, we can chat happily about anything else.

Kelly asked again: "Did you just buy the bare metal phone?"

Simon frowned: "SIR, why do you ask?"

Kelly said, "A few days ago, there were some unexpected incidents during Operation Viper, a joint White House and Colombian government operation. The entire command structure of the AUC forces we were collaborating with was wiped out. From the on-site information, it seems they were attacked by a high-yield bomb. Our technicians analyzed that, since Soviet aircraft can only use Soviet bombs, they must have used at least large FAB bombs, or large ODAB-type thermobaric bombs to have such a lethal effect. So, I'd like to ask you, since you are more familiar with the current situation in Iligo, did Shadamu's army purchase large FAB bombs or ODAB thermobaric bombs back then?"

"We do have FAB models, but they're all in the 500kg class. We haven't imported thermobaric bombs like ODABs because the Soviet Union had very strict controls on these high-kill weapons back then. They were second only to mushroom weapons and Chinese weapons, and were basically not sold to foreign countries."

Simon gave a flat negative answer.

"Although Shadamu's stockpile of weapons is currently being processed, as far as I know, these large-yield bombs will be disposed of by destruction and will not be sold to the outside world." Simon's certainty made Kelly fall into even greater doubts.

If Musician Defense was unable to purchase the ODAB thermobaric bomb, then what bomb caused such horrific casualties?
Could it be a high-yield FAB bomb?

But Irigo only had FAB ordinary bombs with an equivalent of 500 kilograms, which was not enough to cause such great damage.

For a moment, Kelly even thought her suspicions were wrong.

How could a private military company get the Russian ODAB thermobaric bomb?
"SIR? What do you want to check?"

Seeing Kelly remained silent, Simon pressed the issue, "Do you suspect Song Heping used a thermobaric bomb to bomb the AUC?"

“I’ve thought about that.”

"I even sent people to scout around his school in southern Venezuela, but something went wrong and everyone died," Kelly said.

Simon immediately thought of the previous news, in which Venezuelan officials announced that they had killed three CIA agents who had infiltrated the country.

This news is still very popular.

The president of Venezuela has never liked Americans, and this time he seized on this incident to make a big fuss, sparking heated discussions around the world.

Even I, who was far away in Irigo, saw the news.

"Simon, I have a mission for you. Thoroughly check Irigo's inventory for ODAB thermobaric bombs or high-yield FAB bombs."

"No need to check," Simon said. "Because the first thing we did when we arrived here was to check the weapons depot. I know all the weapons in stock, unless they're in the arsenal we haven't found. But that's impossible, because none of the former military officials who defected to us mentioned such bombs. These data are absolutely true, just like we didn't find the big killer weapons we needed in Irigo."

Kelly was silent.

The information Simon provided was clearly true.

In this case, where did Song Heping find the ODAB thermobaric bomb?
Could it be that I really guessed wrong?
But my intuition told me that there must be something wrong with Song Heping.

in this way……

Do we really have to use tough measures?

For the Secret Operations Department, many things can ultimately be solved through "secret operations."

However, this method is relatively risky.

Once it is exposed, you will have to bear the consequences.

Simon seemed to see Kelly's hesitation, and his heart moved.

Song Heping has the upper hand over me.

The most permanent solution is to let him die!
Now that he is dead, no one will ever know this secret.

"SIR."

Simon feigned helplessness and said, "It's not that I don't want to help. I could have waited for him to return to Irigo, secretly arrested him, and interrogated him to get the answers I wanted. However, I can't do that right now because he still has some influence in Irigo and has extremely close ties to the military. Last time, I didn't understand the situation of the African arms deal, and I ended up getting scolded by General Peter of the military. I think secretly arresting him somewhere else might still be effective."

Kelly sneered, "He only hangs out in three places—his home country, Irigaray, and Venezuela. If you say we can't catch him in Irigaray, then where do you think I should catch him? His home country? Or Venezuela?"

Simon could already hear Kelly's determination.

Everyone has heard that the White-haired Witch of the Secret Operations Department is a ruthless and decisive person. If she decides to arrest someone, she will definitely do it.

What's more, she can mobilize the CIA's most powerful "Watchmen" action force. As long as these people are dispatched, Song will be in trouble.

"Sir, I'm just reminding you that the military has a good relationship with him. You can try to coordinate with the Pentagon, but I think the news will probably leak out. However, if we arrest him secretly without the military's knowledge, there's still a chance it will be successful."

"Okay, I'll consider it."

Kelly quickly ended the call.
