Chapter 616 3-Line Operation (2-in-1 Chapter)

After Laswell arrived in Dubai, he was immediately taken to the hotel by Luke.

After taking a look at Hela, Lasswell looked away and shared the information with Luke.

A few days ago, Bering Strait.

Captain Price and his 141st Squadron raided a freighter.

According to intelligence, there is a nuclear warhead in the container on the freighter.

When Price and others found and opened the container, they discovered that it was empty.

The nuclear warheads had already been moved.

Just as they were about to evacuate, two unidentified fighter jets attacked the freighter.

Price and his 141st squad escaped in a thrilling manner.

All evidence was submerged in the sea.

Lasswell was in a state of panic because a rebellion broke out in the Middle East.

The former president was a member of a pro-American party, and after the Assad coup, the public execution of the former president was intolerable to the United States and its allies.

To put it bluntly, if you continue to be pro-American, then we will overthrow you and we can cooperate with anyone.

But if you act like a dictator, the Americans can't tolerate it.

Fortunately, this country is not big and there is a US military base nearby.

So a large number of Marines began to gather here.

Assad does not belong to a large army, he is just one of those who command heavy troops.

But the government was overthrown, and those who held heavy military power in the country began to have other ideas.

They were not convinced that Assad was in power, so they each became their own king and refused to recognize Assad's regime.

Luke and Lasswell analyzed the situation and believed that the most important task at present was to find the nuclear warhead.

Luke thought Assad was being a little hasty by launching a mutiny and overthrowing the government.

Although Assad took the capital without being fully prepared, he was clearly not prepared for the subsequent problems.

This further proves that it was Hydra who did this in order to fish in troubled waters.

"Lilith, check Assad's location."

Soon, Lilith gave the answer.

Azerbaijan.

Laswell frowned.

“Why Azerbaijan?”

Luke waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter. His absence from the Middle East just proves that the bomb is there."

"We will act simultaneously. Let your people capture Assad, and I will deal with the nuclear bomb."

After a little thought, Lasswell agreed to Luke's plan.

"Would you like me to say hello to General Sheffield?"

Luke shook his head.

"No, let Sheffield postpone the attack for 12 hours."

"This is difficult to do. The White House has already issued an order."

"It's okay. I'll get approval from the Joint Chiefs of Staff."

Finally, Laswell hesitated and spoke to Luke.

"Can I borrow your assistant?"

Luke was stunned.

"what happened?"

Laswell smiled.

"Your assistant is very good at information processing and temporary command and coordination. We need her for this operation."

Of course Luke would not let Lilith leave, but Laswell also needed support.

"Connect your communication system to Lilith here. I also have a temporary command center here. She will help you remotely."

"Is this okay?"

"Don't worry, the equipment I have here is the most advanced."

Laswell left satisfied.

No preparation is needed on Luke's part.

This time I came with Frank's team.

The only thing that needs to be prepared is Lilith.

But this did not bother her at all.

Dual-line command is not a problem for Lilith.

Luke made several calls in succession after Laswell left.

Finally, after communicating with General Sheffield, the plan to postpone the attack was decided.

However, Sheffield was a radical, and the original attack time was in the morning, but it was postponed to noon.

Luke didn't hide the news of the nuclear bomb.

"If my men move smoothly, you can deploy according to the original attack time."

This answer satisfied General Sheffield.

"But I need to carry out the mission at night. I have to command the air strike force of the nearby air base."

"No problem, as long as you can dismantle the nuclear bomb, we can launch the attack in the middle of the night."

"Wait for good news from me, General."

"Good luck."

In the afternoon, Luke recalled Hobbs who was supporting Thom's team in England.

All team members are present except Erica who is training on Xandar.

This is the most difficult mission the team has ever carried out since its establishment.

Inside the briefing room.

"According to the data analysis sent back by the reconnaissance drone, there is a radioactive reaction in the presidential palace. The nuclear bomb is there."

Lilith pointed out the location of the Presidential Palace on the map.

But the entire capital is under the control of Assad's forces.

Therefore, Luke will also participate in this mission in person.

When it comes to defusing nuclear bombs, no one is more experienced than Luke.

Next, Lilith introduced the entire process and details of the operation.

There are four air force bases around it and an aircraft carrier fleet in the Persian Gulf.

Throughout the night, the Air Force and Navy would bomb the capital according to Lilith's request.

The purpose is to attract the target, create chaos and give the team time to attack the presidential palace.

Block enemy support.

The evacuation point is the seaside.

The Navy's destroyers will close in and fire, providing fire blocking.

The entry and exit points are both at the seaside.

The beach is at least 3 kilometers away from the Presidential Palace.

In order to provide the team with more accurate intelligence, Lilith mobilized 5 drones to the capital.

Conduct real-time command based on enemy dynamics.

At the same time, Laswell and Price's 141st Squad had also arrived in Azerbaijan.

Assad is hiding on a farm in the mountains.

Lilith has locked onto Assad's cell phone signal.

Uzbekistan, Russian troops stationed at the Ahal Air Force Base in Uzbekistan.

Team 141 will depart from here, cross the Caspian Sea and enter Azerbaijan.

Joint action by the United States, Britain and Russia.

Team 141 and a Delta Force team will carry out the capture mission together.

The Russian side provides air support and transport missions.

The person in charge of this base was sent by Angelica.

Lilith was easily connected to the chain of command.

The special forces unit in Angelica's command, the Makarov Squad, was sent to India by Luke.

The IMF team tracked down India based on the intelligence and prepared to intercept the former Soviet satellite in the hands of Indian businessmen in advance.

That satellite has been secretly controlled by Lilith.

Makarov's men were there to finish the job.

Regardless of whether the IMF succeeds or not, the nuclear bomb briefcase must be recovered by Russian personnel and it is impossible for the IMF to take it away.

Lilith is operating on three fronts this time, but there is no pressure at all.

The first to set off were Team 141 and Delta.

The farm where Assad is hiding is very large and requires infiltration, and it is likely to be a violent attack in the final stage.

Over in the Middle East, Luke had his team put on the most advanced nano combat suits.

This combat uniform is modified based on the lining of Thor's Hammer armor.

It can defend against 7.62mm full-power bullets without causing any damage.

Even a 12.7mm heavy machine gun would only cause minor internal injuries and would not penetrate the target.

Most importantly, the nano combat suit can be optically invisible.

Combined with an optical stealth vest, it can be made undetectable to the naked eye at a distance of 50 meters.

In the dark, it can be even closer.

When it is still, it is not visible at all.

The weapons equipped are dual-mode.

Use energy weapons when sneaking in covertly, as they are almost silent.

Use electromagnetic weapons in frontal combat.

Luke also put on the same combat uniform as his team members.

"Boss, you haven't been with us for a long time."

"Don't worry, I won't hold you back."

Lilith provided information support throughout the process, but Luke still handed over the specific combat command of the team to Frank.

Originally, Frank wanted to put Luke in the support group, but Luke refused.

He has superpowers, and can play his best role as a member of the vanguard reconnaissance team.

Frank finally agreed to Luke's request.

"You are the boss, I can listen to you, but... please don't let me lose my job..."

Luke smiled.

"Don't worry, I don't want to go back and inherit the family business..."

Frank: I'm so angry, but I can't beat them... those damn rich people...

Mulder: I hate rich people, but... we're fucking rich.

Nelson: That's right. This set of equipment you have on you can be exchanged for tens of millions of dollars.

Mulder: It's tens of millions, why should we fight so hard?

Tobili: Because if you don’t work hard, you won’t be able to wear these tens of millions of dollars, and you will become a poor man again.

Faced with this seemingly impossible task, the team members all had a good attitude.

Bob excitedly said to Beckett who was drinking tea:

"Finally I don't have to carry that damn howitzer (sniper grenade launcher)..."

Beckett: Young man, you are so naive.

After saying that, the revolver grenade launcher behind him appeared.

Bob: Fuck, teacher, didn’t you say we shouldn’t bring this thing?

Beckett shrugged.

"Street fighting doesn't require sniper type, this is support type."

Two stealth Pelicans quickly passed over the sea.

Entered the country's capital from the Persian Gulf.

The Air Force had begun bombing Assad's rebels an hour earlier.

In order to prevent the enemy from suspecting anything, military camps in various parts of the capital were bombed.

In addition to military camps, key areas also include the seaside.

According to the plan, at a remote location, the first Pelican would drop off the team.

After successfully capturing the Presidential Palace, under the cover of the Air Force, the second Pelican lowered three special trucks.

Used to evacuate the team with a nuclear bomb.

Sneaking and attacking are not a problem at all for this well-equipped team.

The key is evacuation.

Because they have to carry nuclear bombs.

According to Laswell's intelligence, the nuclear bomb should have leaked from the Hryvnia.

But Lilith analyzed the sensors of the reconnaissance drone and concluded that based on the radiation intensity, there should be two nuclear bombs.

To be on the safe side, Luke arranged for three special trucks.

The vehicle in the middle is loaded with nuclear bombs, and the vehicles in front and behind are responsible for fire support.

The most dangerous part of the entire mission is the evacuation process.

Otherwise, the navy's destroyers would not risk approaching the coastline to provide artillery support.

You know, the 120mm gun on the destroyer is equivalent to the firepower of an artillery battalion of the army, which is very powerful.

Everything went well and the team landed successfully.

The drones in the sky are divided into three directions, providing factual information to the team without blind spots.

Based on reconnaissance images and various sensors, data is transmitted to the temporary command center in Dubai.

After analyzing it, Lilith marked it on the team members' goggles.

Of course, this is only apparent.

In the complex urban environment, this is not enough.

So, Luke took the lead as a scout pioneer.

The team was divided into three groups.

Luke led the vanguard group and walked in the front.

Hobbs led the assault team down the middle.

Frank led the support group at the end.

Luke came to the outer wall of the building at the corner and made a few gestures to Chapman and the strange head behind him.

What the two pulled out were not daggers, but electric stingers.

Four-edged blade design with electric shock device at the tail.

You know, using a dagger is not the safest option.

The human body can still respond after receiving severe damage, unless the brain receives a fatal attack.

But the brain is covered by the skull, and the skull is so strong that it is difficult for a dagger to penetrate.

The same is true for electric shock devices.

Strong electric current can instantly cause the human body to lose all functions.

So, this specially designed electric shock device was born.

After piercing the human body, an electric current will burst out immediately, even if the person does not die.

The electric current will make the enemy lose all ability to move, ensuring that no sound will be made in the first place.

Chapman and Guaitou immediately controlled the two rebels in the room from behind.

In the night, the entire capital was in chaos.

Many rebels are clearing out armed personnel from other forces and government troops.

There are also many rebels who oppose Assad.

In the sky, the air force is still bombing.

Explosions and gunfire continued in the capital all night.

This also provides good cover for the team.

Air Force fighter planes occasionally fly across the sky.

The loud engine noise will drown out many other sounds.

Both the Air Force and the Navy used fighter-bombers for this mission.

The Air Force's F-15E and the Navy's F/A-18F, under Lilith's command, entered the area for bombing in a predetermined order.

Not only that, there are electronic jammers conducting electromagnetic suppression over the Persian Gulf.

After all, Assad seized a large amount of equipment from government forces after invading the capital.

Anti-aircraft missiles are one of them.

Therefore, the team led by Luke did not use the AC130 with the strongest support capabilities whether it was infiltrating or evacuating.

This thing is indeed useful for ground support, but it is strong in offense but weak in defense.

Facing ground-based air defense weapons, there is no ability to fight back.

So, when it is uncertain how many air defense weapons Assad's rebels have, fighter-bombers are safer.

Electronic interference also takes time.

If the ground-based air defense radar is not turned on, it cannot be found at all.

After being turned on and before the electronic jamming was fully suppressed, the radar was able to lock onto the slow-flying AC130.

Fighter-bombers do not have this concern.

They fly so fast that the radar has no time to lock onto them.

Therefore, fighter-bomber support is the optimal solution.

Under normal circumstances, it is not possible to coordinate all bomber formations of the Air Force to carry out precision strikes in a timely and sequential manner.

But Lilith can.

It is impossible to do it with real people giving orders, but it is no problem for Lilith.

She can plan the entry time, bombing order, and evacuation direction of each aircraft...

And it can be accurate to seconds.

This action has attracted attention from many parties.

Inside the military base on the border, Sheffield looked at the factual data on the big screen with a serious expression.

Unexpectedly, the most elite special operations team is hiding in the FBI.

At the same time, General Troutman, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and other generals were watching the live broadcast of the mission in the Pentagon.

However, compared to the serious General Sheffield, the atmosphere among the generals here was much more relaxed.
