Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 680 Questioning
Buddy Town, northwest of Irigo.

"This is a smokescreen!"

Rhodes put down the satellite phone, his face suddenly darker than the bottom of a pot.

"We've all been fooled! Samir's troops weren't planning to attack here at all. I understand now..."

He seemed to have discovered some big secret.

"People Power was just feinting. They were trying to lure us here! Damn it! That Song guy is so cunning!"

After saying that, Rhodes turned around and waved his hand: "Retreat! Emergency Celia!"

Ten minutes later, Ahmmar in the command post looked at the empty table in shock.

Those Americans just left without saying anything, without taking me seriously at all.

"These American pigs! They just left like that!"

The subordinates standing on both sides looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

It actually doesn't take much time to get from Badi Town to the border.

After all, it’s less than 30 kilometers.

Rhodes received a call saying that Baghdadi's hiding place in Siliya had been discovered, and Song Heping was leading a raid in an attempt to capture Baghdadi.

For the CIA, the cooperation with Baghdadi must not be exposed.

Song Heping's combat capability is best known to those in the Secret Operations Department and the "Watchmen" team, including Rhodes.

He had no doubt that Song Heping could capture Baghdadi - at least until now, he didn't know that there was actually a secret tactical team sent by the "Satanic" organization that had already been deployed there and had fought with Song Heping.

What he didn't know was that Song Heping actually suffered a great loss at the beginning.

The black squad of the "Satan" organization was actually the Deputy Director Pence who contacted Campbell on his own initiative and asked him to give the order.

The purpose is to protect Baghdadi.

This is a backup strategy and there is nothing wrong with it.

Unfortunately, he did not connect and communicate with Kelly, but reached an agreement with Campbell privately.

Almost everyone who has a background in intelligence or covert operations has this habit: they like to make things very tight and leak-proof.

However, Pence never expected that his negligence would bring disaster to the "Watchmen".

Inside the Urmia military camp on the Persian border, two Mi-17 helicopters slowly landed on the training ground with their flight lights flashing in the night.

Song Heping walked down from the cabin and was greeted personally by Afanti.

The former had no time to pay attention to the latter, but turned around and ordered the people in the cabin: "Hurry up and get the people down!"

The seriously injured were carried out of the helicopter one by one.

The medical staff who had been waiting there pushed a stretcher up to carry the wounded away. Song Heping stood by the cabin, watching the wounded being carried out one by one, and finally saw the bodies being carried out of the cabin one by one.

one……

two……

three……

Four……

five……

"and many more."

He suddenly called out to two soldiers from the special operations platoon.

Then walked over to one of the body bags.

Everyone stood still, as if the world had stopped.

Song Heping unzipped the body bag, revealing Gabriel's familiar face.

The special operations company commander, whom Song Heping had high hopes for, had now become a cold corpse. His face was bloodless, his eyes were closed, and there was a bullet hole under his throat.

"Ugh……"

In the end, Song Heping just sighed.

This seems to be a normal ending for mercenaries.

But the losses suffered tonight were too great.

This time when leaving Venezuela, Song Heping took away a total of two special operations platoons.

These two special operations platoons took a full year to train, and they are also the earliest established and most mature two special operations platoons.

It is the future combat power backbone of the "Musician" defense and also a training pool for future backbones.

Tonight, nearly half of it was lost.

Especially since a beloved general like Gabriel had lost his life, Song Heping blamed himself and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger rising in his heart.

"Avanti, I have something to tell you."

He zipped up his pants and walked aside.

Afanti followed Song Heping to the side of the apron.

Song Heping then spoke: "What the hell are your intelligence personnel doing?!"

Afanti knew that Song Heping would question him sooner or later. He shouldn't have made such a mistake tonight.

The special agent team that he had sent to keep an eye on Baghdadi for several days had been deployed in Siliya for three full days.

For three days, they kept reporting on their surveillance results, but never mentioned that anyone had entered the town of Galashuk.

These were elite field agents, yet they were completely unaware of being targeted. They even didn't notice a trap set up in the town on the night of the operation.

This level of professionalism is truly shameful.

"Song, I'm so sorry..."

"Sorry is useless. Do you know how many of my men died?"

Song Heping sneered.

This was the first time he was rude to Afanasiy.

Afanti is a wise man with great strategies and lofty ambitions.

Song Heping had respected him before and felt that he was a man who could accomplish great things.

But what happened tonight surprised Song Heping.

What rubbish subordinates these are!
The top intelligence agency in Persia is so weak!
Afanti said with a stern face, "I will punish those agents according to military law and give you an explanation..."

"I don't want any explanation from you," Song Heping said. "Please, we're partners. I discussed this operation with you ahead of time. You said you'd be responsible for keeping tabs on Baghdadi's movements and sending our most elite surveillance force. What was the result?"

He pointed to the other end of the tarmac.

"Those are your most elite forces?"

Afanasiy wanted to say something and moved his lips, but in the end he said nothing.

What to say?
It is indeed your own problem.

Song Heping continued, "Afanti, you mentioned to me that you wanted to develop the 'Arc of Resistance' in the future. I admire your strategic vision, but with just the men you have now? Haha."

He couldn't help but sneer.

"Do you think your strategy can be accomplished?"

“I never doubt my own ideas and I am always confident.”

Seeing Song Heping criticizing his strategy, Afanti could no longer hold back.

"Don't question my resolve, and I will train and manage my men well. This was an accident. Our opponent is very powerful, not just an ordinary special forces unit."

Song Heping pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, it's unnecessary to pursue any responsibility now. I only have two requests. First, do your best to rescue my subordinates. Second, I will give you some photos of the men in black that I took at the scene. You must trace the origins of these people for me."

"I will do this. I have no choice but to do it." Afanti nodded and said, "My friend, my heart is filled with apologies tonight. Please believe me, I am your most sincere friend."

Song Heping just listened to what he said for the time being.

Afanti is not an emotional person.

If he is too sentimental, he can't reach this position.

Those who have accomplished great things in ancient and modern times are all kings who are calm, ruthless and extremely firm in their own positions.

Talking about sincerity is actually redundant.

If a close partnership represents sincerity, then Kelly and I were also sincere a few months ago.

It's nothing more than interests and positions.

"Well, there's no point in me pursuing this matter any further. But let me remind you, my old friend, that the quality of your subordinates will drag you down in the future."

"I understand, I understand..."

Just as Afanti kept nodding in agreement with Song Heping's statement, suddenly a Post agent walked over quickly.

Afanasiy glanced at the other person and then walked up to him.

The agent whispered something in Afanasiy's ear, then turned and left.

Afanti returned to Song Heping and said, "Your mobilization strategy was very successful. The CIA team has already left Badi Town and is heading towards Siliya. I guess they don't even know the battle over there is over, and they still want to rescue Baghdadi."

Speaking of Baghdadi, Song Heping felt chest tightness again.

I rarely make mistakes.

Tonight is one of them.

Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind.

"Avanti, you just said that the CIA was heading to Siliya?"

"They're probably heading towards the border, probably planning to cross. The border is very busy tonight, so they might be taking a detour."

Song Heping understood that he was talking about the Irigo government forces intercepting the I5I5 organization's support forces.

"I suddenly have something I need your help with right now."

He had a new idea.

A bold idea.

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
