Chapter 53 [Newcomer, Old Man, Retirement]
The geographical climates of Southeast Asian countries are similar. Myanmar and neighboring Vietnam have tropical monsoon climates. They not only have large areas of tropical rainforests, but also are full of countless dangers. There are many poisonous insects and miasma. No one knows how many jungle killers are hidden in this tropical rainforest. You can imagine the dangers you encounter when carrying out tasks in this environment.
So when he heard that the mission was located in Myanmar, a light flashed across Gu Ren's eyes. He was a little looking forward to performing the mission in the tropical rainforest next time. He only obtained field skills from Rambo not long ago. Now it seems that he finally has a venue to fully perform.
"Look at it, this is the local picture I got from someone." Captain Barney took out his laptop and clicked on a photo from the document. This is a landform map taken from the satellite.
"In the rainforest?" Christmas Jason frowned. He did not expect that the rescued hostages were trapped in the rainforest.
Since the Vietnam War, the US military has been full of fear of the tropical rainforest. This fear has been passed down from top to bottom in the army and has been passed down from the 1970s to the present. All new recruits have heard stories of the rainforest full of dangers from veterans.
"Yes, so this mission is a bit dangerous, not just the rainforest..."
Barney glanced around and opened another picture, "This is the guy who kidnapped the hostages. The locals called him General Danto. He is a very powerful warlord in the local area. He controlled two jade mines in southeastern Myanmar. At the same time, he also built an armed force with thousands of people. According to the reliable information I have collected, their firepower is very strong."
"Among thousands of people?"
Caesar stared at the sight of his eyes widening and said, "My God, this task is very difficult."
"No, it's not that it's difficult, it's impossible to complete it."
Highway Randy shook her head. The last time she raided Vilanna Island, hundreds of armed forces almost left them there. Now she is facing thousands of warlords and heavy firepower configurations. This is not something they can only solve with the mercenaries of seven-man teams.
"The mission is very difficult, but our goal is not to this warlord, but to rescue the hostages."
Barney never took on tasks they could not complete. Last time, the difficulty was not very high. Being surrounded could only say that he was not lucky and could not resolve the battle as soon as possible.
But this time the mission is different.
"Because of the melee of local warlords, General Dantuo was in order to protect his two jade mines, most of his military power was guarding these two mine veins. He himself was also in a jade mine, so the number of enemies we faced during this trip was not large. And as far as I know, the kidnapping of the hostages was not done by General Dantuo, but by one of his men named Tunqin. He fell in love with the huge jade opened by the hostages and wanted to get it."
Barney opened another picture and pointed to a building on the picture and said, "Look, this is an old city controlled by General Dantuo. It is a trading market specially used for jade trading. Our hostages are hidden in the abandoned factory in the innermost part of the city. The people here are Tunqin's subordinates. There are not many people, about hundreds of people. We just need to pretend to be jade traders and we can get in smoothly."
"Then how can we evacuate?" Li Jie touched his chin. He had plans to retire now and was about to go back to his hometown to open a travel agency after a few votes. Everyone can get nearly three million US dollars for this mission bounty, which undoubtedly accelerates Li Jie's inner thoughts of retirement, so he decided to tell the captain later that he would go home after doing this vote. Since he was about to retire, the most important thing is safety.
Barney opened another picture, which was the local map. He pointed to a red line drawn in advance and said, "After we rescued the hostages, we quickly bypassed the rainforest and left from the Mekong River by transport plane."
He explained the two most important steps of rescue and evacuation in detail. After confirming that everyone had no objections, Barney clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this mission is like this. I know that this mission is very dangerous, so I specially got another sniper, and he will probably arrive tomorrow. At that time, Hawkeye, you will lead the newcomer to pick us up in the rain forest."
Newcomer?
"Okay captain."
Gu Ren touched his nose, but he didn't expect that newcomers would come so soon. He calculated that he became an old man in the suicide squad after he had just performed two missions. It was quite interesting to think about it.
...
After the team meeting, Caesar and Randy were holding each other and preparing to go to a nightclub to have fun. Before coming to Thailand, they had already found some interesting play games online, thinking of being happy on the eve of the mission. After all, the danger of working together is quite high, and timely fun is their daily standard.
The captain and Christmas got together, and seemed to be discussing whether the plan for this mission needs to be improved. Although it sounds nice just now, as long as the steps are executed, the task can be completed smoothly, but they are always facing a group of local warlords. Being careful is always good.
Seeing that everyone had their own things to do, Li Jie winked and Gu Ren followed him clearly.
The two walked out of the hotel one by one and soon arrived at a very famous night market in the local area.
I arrived at a barbecue stall and ordered some skewers and a few bottles of local beer.
Before the skewers came up, Li Jie pushed open the cap with chopsticks, handed Gu Ren a bottle, opened another bottle himself, and drank it in big mouthfuls.
"Comfortable! The weather in Thailand is so stuffy, it's really hard to bear if you don't drink some cold beer." After drying half of the bottle of cold beer, Li Jie's heart finally relieved a lot of heat caused by the weather. He breathed down and said, "Aren, this mission is over, and I'm ready to retire."
"Retirement? Brother Jie, are you serious?" Although he knew that Li Jie had the idea of retirement, Gu Ren still looked surprised when facing this sentence, wondering why it was so sudden.
"Actually, I have wanted to retire a long time ago. After working for a few years, my health is worse than before. I don't say it's mainly because I have money and my courage becomes smaller."
Li Jie gave his reasons for retirement bluntly, and he was afraid of death if he was rich.
Gululu took another big sip of beer, and he continued: "I originally wanted to take advantage of the qi to do it a few more times and make more money to go back and invest in the tourism agency. But with your investment, and each person can get at least two or three million for this task. I just thought that I could retire early and retire early. Didn't the captain just say that he had recruited another new person? I think he should have seen the idea of retirement for a long time, so he pulled another person in."
Li Jie guessed well, and Barney saw that he had the idea of retirement very early, so when Li Jie recommended Gu Ren to join the suicide squad, Barney agreed without hesitation, thinking that Li Jie could be seamlessly connected after leaving.
But unexpectedly, Gongna was disgusted by the team members because of drug use, and betrayed them mercilessly, and then disappeared on the island. The number of people in the team suddenly turned into seven.
Considering that Li Jie might ask to leave at any time, it would be very inconvenient to carry out the task once the number of people is small, Barney could only find new people again. It just so happened that the task was very difficult, so he recruited a young man with good marksmanship to join in.
"It's great to retire, so that you can take care of the tourism agency safely." Gu Ren grinned, picked up the bottle and said, "Then I'll ask you Brother Jie in the tourism agency's affairs in the future. I must have very little time to take care of it."
"Haha, don't worry, the travel agency will leave it to me for management! The business license has been applied for and can be issued after a while. I will still come to the United States to do business."
Li Jie laughed and raised the bottle and touched Gu Ren. The two of them drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp.
Chapter completed!
