Chapter 4519 Suspicious Situation

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Lin Rui and the actuary arrived and heard General Steven mention the attack on the US military base, their hearts suddenly sank.

    Their attack on the secret base of the US military has been well concealed for this period of time.  Confidence left no clues that could lead to them.

    So when General Steven suddenly said these words, the hearts of both of them suddenly tightened.

    "However, both of them are people who have seen the big world, and they still have the ability to endure the crisis.

    Lin Rui pretended to hesitate and said, "The US military base was attacked. When did it happen? Is the general talking about a US military base in the Middle East?

    If this is the case, I may not understand it very well.  After all, our company has long been focused on developing in Africa.  There is a real lack of understanding about the Middle East.  "

    General Steven looked at him without speaking, but smiled meaningfully.  "Mr. Rick is really calm. He can still keep his expression calm under such circumstances. This calmness is really admirable."

    "Thank you, General. I am naturally a bit slow to react. But I didn't expect this shortcoming. I am often considered calm enough." Lin Rui smiled, "General, can you tell me in detail about the attack on the US military base?  ?¡±

    "Forget it, I just mentioned it casually. This matter is highly confidential and I shouldn't have disclosed it originally.

    ¡°But Mr. Rick, you are not outsiders, so I will tell you the truth.

    We have set up a secret base in a certain sea area at the junction of Africa and the Middle East.  But a few months ago there was a sudden attack by a group of armed men.

    ¡°At first we thought it was terrorists.  However, an investigation by the military intelligence department found that those who attacked the base were most likely mercenaries.  "General Steven looked at Lin Rui.

    Lin Rui nodded, "It's very possible that this is not the first time that terrorists have hired mercenaries to help them work.

    Especially some larger terrorist organizations, they have enough funds to hire manpower.  In Africa, in addition to regular military companies, there are also many informal private mercenary groups.

    ?Theoretically it is possible for them to do so.  "

    General Steven nodded, "What you said does make sense. But our people discovered something unusual in the secret base on the island.

    We found some shell casings left at the scene. Through comparison and analysis, we found that these bullets are standard US military equipment.

    And through the serial number on the bullet, we did some tracing.  It was finally confirmed that this batch of bullets indeed came from our US military.

    During the joint anti-terrorism operation a year ago, this batch of bullets was equipped with the joint anti-terrorism force composed of six African countries in the Sahel.  "

    General Steven was speaking while carefully observing the details of Lin Rui's expression.  But to his disappointment, Lin Rui's face did not waver at all.

    "The general just said that these weapons are all US military standard? What caliber of bullets are they?" Lin Rui asked with a frown.

    "5.56mm, NATO's unified small-caliber rifle bullet. Of course there are also a certain number of 7.62mm bullets, but we believe they are from machine guns." General Steven replied.

    "This is a bit strange. Under normal circumstances, whether they are terrorists or mercenaries, they will use 7.62 bullets.

    The reason is very simple. Most Soviet and Russian standard weapons use 7.62 ammunition.  Soviet-Russian weapons are far more popular than American-made weapons.

    For terrorists, Soviet-Russian weapons, such as the AK47, have always been simple, durable, and reliable.  More importantly, the price is cheap.

    For mercenary groups, they are also more inclined to use Soviet-style weapons, because the popularity of ak47 has led to the wider use of 7.62 ammunition in Africa.

    This makes it easier for them to obtain such weapons and ammunition at any time.  "Lin Rui shook his head and said. "Judging from some mercenary groups I have contacted, they rarely use American-made weapons.  "

    "Really?" General Steven turned to look at Lin Rui, "What about your company?"

    ¡°Most of the equipment our company uses is American equipment. I think you, general, know the reason for this.

    We are contractors of the military and often have to deal with your US military.  So most of what we use is American equipment.  "Lin Rui nodded.

    "This means that your company is also suspected of this attack." General Steven said calmly.

    "Why? Just because we also use American weapons?" Lin Rui thought.He thought, "If we follow the general's logical reasoning, the scope would be huge.

    This 5.56 caliber bullet is also called NATO bullet.  Because 5.56mm is a unified small-caliber rifle bullet of NATO, all U.S. allies and NATO members use this caliber bullet.

    Since the M16 automatic rifle, all US military rifles have used NATO bullets. Later, many rifles exported by the US military to foreign countries also used NATO bullets.

    Therefore, the calibers of rifle bullets in the world are currently mainly Russian-made 7.62 bullets and American-made 5.56 bullets.

    ??If this kind of ammunition is used to draw an inference of guilt.  I'm afraid the biggest suspect is the US military itself and all NATO member forces.  "

    General Steven was stunned for a moment, but he still shook his head, "Not only that, after our verification, this batch of ammunition was supplied to the African joint anti-terrorism force.

    As far as I know, Mr. Rick and Mr. Silver Wolf Michelle worked at Black Island Company back then.  You are the ones who have a high chance of getting this batch of ammunition.

    So, judging from this, Mr. Rick, you are still full of doubts.  "

    "General, can I tell the truth?" Lin Rui made a gesture with a wry smile.  ¡°I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t understand the situation in Africa.

    Africa has long relied on external aid to survive.  The weapons and ammunition provided to the joint anti-terrorism forces are actually the same, with detailed distribution registration records.  No one wants to take less.

    At that time, although I was responsible for the daily training and combat skills training of the joint anti-terrorism forces, even I did not have the authority to intercept their ammunition.

    Another point is that the internal management of the African troops is actually quite chaotic.  When I was in the Joint Anti-Terrorism Force, things were a little better.

    But after the anti-terrorism operation ended, these troops returned home, and the weapons and ammunition were scattered across Africa with them.

    There were even a lot of weapons and ammunition that were taken home by the soldiers as their soldiers retired.

    I know, this is really hard for you Americans to imagine, but this is the actual situation.  After some African soldiers have been in the army for several years, it is normal for them to take their weapons home when they retire.

    The weapons and ammunition they brought home may be sold on street stalls.  Maybe it will be used for hunting, or even used to carry out terrorist attacks.  No one can say for sure.  "

    Lin Rui shook his head, "This is the real situation in Africa."
