Chapter 935 CSIB

"This is the taste of war."

A Chicano transport helicopter landed in the town, and a dozen white men in military uniforms stepped off the helicopter.

However, there were no military logos on their uniforms.

They are now in a small town in the northern part of Daraa Province, Syria, where Syrian opposition forces have set up a training camp.

Since the outbreak of the Arab Spring in 2011, conflicts have broken out in Syria under its influence (of course, the CIA's behind-the-scenes promotion is indispensable).

From March 2011 to July 2012, Syria was mainly dominated by anti-government protests and the resulting suppression.

Under the influence of the Arab Spring and the instigation of some external forces, the Syrian people began to hold anti-government demonstrations in various places, demanding that Assad step down.

Later, as the scale of this action expanded, the government forces used violent suppression, resulting in an increasing number of casualties.

Some soldiers and civilians took up (obtained) weapons and formed the Syrian Free Army to fight against the government forces.

Since July last year, with the support of relevant forces, the conflict in Syria has escalated and begun to evolve into a civil war.

Syrian opposition forces began to occupy some cities and regions and engaged in fierce battles with government forces.

At the same time, some extremist organizations such as the Victory Front (later became the Islamic State) also joined the battlefield, trying to establish their own sphere of influence.

Foreign countries and organizations also began to support different parties, such as the United States, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, etc. to support the opposition; while Russia, Iran, Lebanon Hezbollah, etc. supported the government forces.

The Syrian civil war has essentially become a proxy war.

This time, the Protector Military Services Company received orders from the United States and Saudi Arabia. They need to send a "team of instructors" to a training camp of the Syrian opposition forces to help them conduct militarized training for newly recruited militants.

The order amount this time is still satisfactory enough - after all, unlike the "security mission" in Iraq and Afghanistan, this time they are closer to the front line of the war...

And these "mercenaries" will not be protected by the Geneva Convention.

This time, the training team sent by the Protector Military Service Company to Syria is composed entirely of retired soldiers from Britain and other NATO countries - after all, in the Middle East, the presence of "Kolo locals" is still very conspicuous.

In addition, the military factory in Kolo has also received some orders for weapons and ammunition shipped to Syria, some of which have arrived, and the rest are coming at sea.

The reason why they can obtain this part of the order, which is mainly for individual equipment such as guns and ammunition, is because the price is relatively lower. As for how much share the "Smith Commissioner" can take from the grants of the United States and Saudi Arabia, that is not their concern...

In March of this year, the Syrian Free Army launched an offensive in Deraa Province to seize strategically important border areas.

In this campaign, the opposition captured several military bases and towns.

However, according to relevant intelligence, the government forces will launch a counterattack in the near future, so the anti-government forces need to obtain personnel and ammunition replenishment before that - after all, they also suffered considerable losses in the previous offensive.

The arrival of these "training teams" of the Protector Military Service Company is to train them.

In addition, they will cooperate with NATO intelligence organizations including the CIA and MI6 to organize small special operations.

...

In fact, many extremist organizations in Africa have more or less connections with extremist organizations in the Middle East.

For example, the previous attack on anti-government forces in Mali, organizations such as "Defenders of the Faith" developed from extremist organizations that fled from Libya.

So far, after France's "Operation Counting Cats", most of the anti-government forces in Mali have been eliminated.

But at this time, the situation in Mali has changed subtly.

When the French army entered Mali for "anti-terrorism operations", it was promised that the French army would not be stationed in Mali for a long time.

But at this moment when most of the anti-government forces have been eliminated, including the "AU" peacekeeping mission in Colo, Niger and Burkina Faso, France has not yet announced the end of "Operation Counting Cats", so thousands of French soldiers still remain in Mali to carry out the "cleaning up the remnants of the anti-government" operation.

It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the French are just using this as an excuse to stay in Mali.

According to relevant intelligence, French representatives even hinted to the Malian president in private conversations that maintaining the presence of French troops in Mali would help the Malian government control the domestic situation...

It can be said that this is already "the dagger is revealed", and France's intention is still to maintain its presence in Mali.

Although the peacekeeping forces of the Kolo Corps have withdrawn from Mali, they still cooperate with the Malian government forces - the Malian government forces purchased some individual weapons and equipment produced by Kolo in the form of loans, and Kolo has provided corresponding training to the Malian government forces.

At the same time, according to information obtained by their intelligence agencies, some of the remaining anti-government forces in Mali are suspected of receiving certain financial and weapons support...

If the interests are taken into consideration, the French side may be suspected of "nurturing the enemy for its own benefit" at the end of the "Counting Cats Operation".

Caulo Security Intelligence Bureau (CSIB) is the only intelligence agency in Caulo. In name, it directly serves President Caulo...

In fact, the director of Caulo Security Intelligence Bureau is nominated by Caulo Development and Reform Research Center and appointed by the president.

As for Caulo Development and Reform Research Center, it was formerly the Anglo-African Institute established by Barron in London. Its members are experts in various fields hired by his think tank. To put it bluntly, this is the agency that Barron uses to formulate development plans for Caulo. Caulo's important policies and regulations are all formulated by Caulo Development and Reform Research Center.

Therefore, in fact, CSIB (Caulo Security Intelligence Bureau) is directly led by Nigel Inkster, Barron's intelligence consultant, and its director is his man.

As for President Kolo, he can get intelligence briefings provided by CSIB, but the content is mostly screened - the intelligence in Kolo will be more detailed, but their external intelligence will only provide "what the president should know within his duties"...

CSIB's external intelligence is mainly aimed at Africa - after all, although CSIB has absorbed some other races, it is still mainly black, so they are not strong enough to obtain intelligence from countries outside Africa (except for multi-ethnic countries such as France)...

In fact, CSIB does not have much need to obtain intelligence from these countries outside Africa. After all, Barron has his own intelligence force for those regions and can also get intelligence support from MI6.
