    "This is impossible!" Yelena shook her head and said, "The Russian military will never hire private military companies. As a military power, their military strength is very strong. Under normal circumstances, they have the ability to solve problems by themselves."

    "It's rare, but it's not impossible." Jiang An shook his head and said, "As shown in the picture, you really need to prove it. I can give at least three to four real examples. But we all know that it doesn't make much sense."

    "Hey, we all know this, but why do they need us to save people, and who do they need to save?" Sergey frowned.

    Shogan nodded and said, "Under normal circumstances, the Russians do like to solve problems by themselves. But they have also had a lot of troubles recently. The United States, the European Union and some other Western countries continue to impose sanctions on Russia. I think they must need  Operating in a sensitive area. If they act on their own, they will put themselves in a very difficult situation."

    "Jiang An is right." Lin Rui nodded, "The person we want to rescue this time is very sensitive. He is a Russian arms dealer."

    "Russian arms dealer?" Sergey frowned.

    "Ivanchenko, 46, has eight aliases and holds more than a dozen passports. From the passport, he is a Russian, an American, and a citizen of a small African country. He is officially known as  As the most powerful arms dealer, he often sells weapons to armed conflict areas in South America, the Middle East and Africa." Lin Rui turned on the computer, clicked on the photo and said, "This is the person."

    "Hey, man. I've heard of him." Sergey looked at the photo and said, "He is a celebrity. He is the prototype of the 2005 movie "Lord of War" starring American star actor Nicolas Cage. He  Associated with many terrorist titles, such as Death Dealer and the world¡¯s number one illegal arms trafficker.¡±

    Lin Rui said in astonishment, "I don't know."

    Shogan said seriously, "This person is very extraordinary. He is definitely in the top ten on the CIA's blacklist."

    Lin Rui looked at the information and said, "Almost no one knows Ivanchenko's exact life experience. Apart from knowing that he was born in the 1970s, his birthplace and nationality are still a mystery. Russia says he was born in Tajikistan  . He himself said that he was born in a Turkmen village on the Caspian Sea.

    Legend has it that his mother was an accountant and his father was an auto mechanic.  He himself studied at the Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages. After graduation, he joined the Soviet Air Force and was sent to Angola, where he allegedly worked for the KGB, the Soviet intelligence agency.  But Ivanchenko denied that he had any relationship with Soviet intelligence agencies.

    Regardless of whether this guy¡¯s connection with the KGB is true or false, analysts believe that Ivanchenko does seem to have in-depth contacts with senior Russian officials.

    What is staggering is that Ivanchenko even became an important participant in the United Nations humanitarian relief operations for a time, and even became a contractor responsible for delivering weapons and supplies to the US military in Iraq.  And his American business partner turned out to be a company with military background.

    It is said that he once said: "As long as you can afford the price, whatever weapons you want to buy, as long as they are available in the world, I will guarantee to sell them to you."

    "This guy really reminds me of that Alpha." Lincoln shook his head.

    Lin Rui shook his head, "He is even better than Alpha. Information shows that he once cooperated with another arms dealer to form an air transport team for trafficking arms and diamonds. At most, they had as many as 60 aircraft  aircraft, smuggling a large number of submachine guns, grenade launchers, bullets and a variety of light and heavy weapons to war-torn areas in Africa.

    Between July 1997 and September 1998 alone, they sold $14 million worth of arms to Africa.  Because of this, Peter, the British government's secretary of state for African foreign affairs, gave him a nickname: the world's number one embargo breaker.

    In the summer of 1999, multiple conflicts broke out simultaneously in some areas of West and Central Africa.  The U.S. National Security Council authorized the intelligence agency to conduct electronic reconnaissance on leaders of governments and militia organizations in war zones such as northeastern Congo, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.  Intelligence analysts were surprised to find that every conflict was inextricably linked to a person.  "

    "Ivanchenko." Shogan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "He is very good at making money from both sides of the war at the same time."

    "But his luck came to an end. He was captured by militia guerrillas in Liberia last week. Since this person is involved in many huge arms deals, the United States hopes to get this person from the militia. But Russia does not  I hope this person is caught by the Americans." Lin Rui said slowly, "This is our mission."

    "But I don't understand why Russia wants to save this man? This man is just an arms dealer." Sergey frowned.

    Jiang An looked at him, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You have to know,??In the past five years, the United States has continued to occupy the top spot among global arms exporters, with a market share of more than 30%; Russia ranks second, with a market share of 27%.  So if you think about it carefully, you will understand.  What impact will the European and American sanctions on Russia have on their arms business?  "

    "You mean, they need this Ivanchenko very much right now?" Sergey frowned.

    "Of course normal sales are restricted, so Ivanchenko's abnormal channels naturally become more important. And I guess the Americans also know this, so they took action against him." Lin Rui nodded.

    "That's right." Shogan nodded, "And that's why Russia hired us. This matter is too sensitive and they don't want to be involved. Because if they participate, they will be forced to admit that they are related to the most notorious person today.  The arms dealers have connections. Therefore, it is not appropriate for them to come forward themselves. They must even avoid any suspicion related to this."

    "Okay, so what's going on with this damn arms dealer now?" Yelena frowned.

    "He should be currently being held in a militia camp in Liberia. The leader of this militia organization is a small local warlord. The current situation is roughly the same." Lin Rui replied.

    Sergey couldn't help but said, "This guy is obviously a young man who doesn't know the heights of the world. He even dares to tie up the famous Ivanchenko."

    Lin Rui nodded and said, "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. These ignorant African boys planned to blackmail Ivanchenko because he knew that the arms dealer should be a rich man. So after the transaction, they suddenly turned against each other and took Ivanchenko away.  I got a deduction."

    "They want to take advantage of others." Jiang An nodded.

    "Ivanchenko has been fooling around for his whole life, but in the end he was tricked by a few brats." Sergey said with a bitter smile.  "This mission shouldn't be difficult. Our opponents are much easier this time. They are just armed civilians at best."

    "You are wrong to think so. Because just after we accepted this mission, news came that the US military also wanted to take advantage of Ivanchenko. They even decided to send people to contact the militiamen. Once they did,  These unscrupulous Liberian militiamen sold Ivanchenko to the Americans, and our mission failed." Lin Rui said slowly.

    "How much time do you have left for us?" Lincoln frowned.

    Lin Rui looked at the other team members and said, "I think it won't take more than two days. Our operation will be fully supported by the arms dealer Alpha. He will provide us with helicopter support and weapons and ammunition supplies. We have to do  The goal is to get Ivanchenko out before the Americans take him away."

    He spread out a map and said, "This is Liberia. This is the place where Ivanchenko and they conducted arms transactions. This should be the place where Ivanchenko was detained after his arrest. These Liberian militants are local  A new armed force is very brutal and has no rules."

    "It can be seen that even the most vicious warlords in Africa will not take advantage of the arms dealers. They may lower the price or buy and sell by force, but when they steal the arms, they also kidnap people for blackmail. This kind of thing is very difficult.  It happens less often. Because everyone knows that if you want to get around in this land, you have to have a gun. And arms dealers are people who must not be offended." Jiang An shook his head and said, "Once an armed organization loses credibility with a certain arms dealer,  Well, other arms dealers will also reject this armed organization. Any warlord with foresight will not do such a thing."

    "Yes, these militants are very immature. But that's exactly what's scary about them. Immature, unstable, hysterical, and have no scruples. They can come wherever they want." Lin Rui said helplessly, "Their leader is  A black man named McKim is only twenty today, but he has already taken more than a dozen lives and participated in many armed robberies and massacres."

    "How are their armed conditions?" Wang Haoze asked.

    "Pretty good. They are a partially armed militia organization that has been trained and well-armed. This is thanks to Ivanchenko, who gave them a truckload of arms this time. Including a dozen large-caliber machine guns  And a 40-caliber rocket launcher." Lin Rui shook his head.  "The difficulty is that these armed men and local villagers live together."

    "In other words, where are the innocent villagers? We can't tell which ones are militants and which ones are ordinary villagers?" Lincoln frowned, "This will bring a lot of trouble to our operations. Maybe he looks thin.  Villager, turn around and he will pull out a gun and fire bullets at you."

    "No matter what, we must try our best to avoid casualties in the villagers." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "When necessary, we may be able to lead these armed men outside the village to solve the problem."

    "But we still have to go in and rescue people. And it has to be done quickly, because Ivanchenko is in their hands. We have to be careful about these militants harming the hostages. The Russians are asking for a rescue, not retrieving a body.  "Jiang'an frowned.

    "That's right. Alpha will arrive in the afternoon, and his people will be responsible for the reception. He will also bring us the latest information about the Russians." Lin Rui said in a deep voice, "I must emphasize again that this mission will be very dangerous.  .Everyone must know what they have to do."
