Mercenary's War

Satan is definitely the mercenary group with the strongest intelligence system, without a doubt.

With its deep cooperation with Justin, Satan possesses the best intelligence network in the world. No other mercenary group, whether it be those super-large security firms or those old or small mercenary groups, can enjoy the advantages that Satan has.

Satan has intelligence power that is disproportionate to its size. If the intelligence system is likened to a brain, then Satan is like a normal person with a brain as large as a blue whale, which is no exaggeration.

It is precisely because of its extremely powerful intelligence network that Satan can find accurate information and evade in time when Saudi Arabia’s early warning aircraft and electronic reconnaissance aircraft have just taken off; otherwise, people like Gao Yang, especially, might get blown to the sky by a missile while making a phone call.

Now Gao Yang knows Saudi Arabia dispatched two E3 early warning aircraft. At the beginning, they may not be able to achieve continuous 24-hour surveillance of the battlefield airspace, but when the two early warning aircraft move to King Fahd Military Base, they will be able to achieve continuous 24-hour surveillance of the battlefield.

So the problem becomes very serious. Satan, despite having the most advanced wireless communication system, dares not use it at all, which means Satan’s real-time battlefield communication is reduced to nothing, and even the channel for acquiring the latest intelligence is problematic.

To contact the outside world, they can only rely on satellite phones. A satellite phone can’t be turned on - what’s the point of contacting then? Even if the early warning plane lands earlier or hasn’t taken off at all, how would Gao Yang receive this intelligence?

This is how it is when confronting a nation; they aren’t on the same level, and often you can only endure it, lacking any means to retaliate.

Gao Yang has been thinking about how he can bring down Saudi Arabia’s early warning aircraft, but it’s just a thought.

Early warning aircraft are generally heavily protected by fighter jets, and Saudi Arabia holds absolute air superiority, taking down the early warning aircraft with fighter jets is simply a pipe dream.

Using anti-aircraft missiles? That’s not possible either. First of all, the flying altitude of the early warning aircraft is very high; using man-portable air-defense systems to take it down is out of the question. As for larger anti-aircraft missile systems, even if they’re on hand, as soon as the radar is switched on, it’ll get bombarded by Saudi Arabia.

Gao Yang looked at his watch; only one hour remained of the safety time that Justin had given.

"Without battlefield communications, there’s no point in staying here."

Gao Yang sighed heavily and spread his hands in helplessness: "I have no solutions. Either we leave here or continue like this, unable even to make a call."

Tarta said gravely: "Two early warning aircraft, can achieve uninterrupted flight surveillance under the most ideal circumstances."

Yake also gravely said: "Yes, we can all be sure Saudi Arabia can’t achieve 24/7 surveillance with just two early warning aircraft, but the problem is, how do we get intelligence? Without daring to switch on the phone, unless we can acquire the flight plans for the early warning aircraft in the upcoming days, which is simply impossible, we can’t contact the outside as long as the early warning aircraft might be airborne."

Gao Yang breathed out and waved his hand, resignedly saying: "Keep the phone turned on for another forty-five minutes, wait for news from Abdullah. If Abdullah still brings no news by then, turn off the phone, and then Fox will set off for Sana’a tonight, at least keep in touch with the outside there."

Yake said in a deep voice: "And what about you guys?"

"Stay here and observe the situation. If the early warning aircraft’s presence becomes a constant, we’ll all retreat."

Tarta lightly rubbed his chin, thoughtfully saying: "I’ve actually been considering a possibility. We can’t do anything after the early warning aircraft is airborne, but if it’s still on the ground, might we think of a way? For example, sabotaging the early warning aircraft so that it can’t take off? At the very minimum, significantly shortening the takeoff time of the early warning aircraft is sufficient."

Gao Yang shook his head and said: "Solving the threat on the ground would be the best, but the early warning aircraft is at King Fahd Military Base. Sending out information is already the limit, sabotaging the early warning aircraft at the airport, Justin’s intelligence network can’t do it, and even if it could, Justin won’t agree to carry it out."

Tarta smiled confidently and said: "Black Demon can do it! Stealth infiltration, find a way to get close to the early warning aircraft, and sabotage some key parts, like under the premise of being undetectable, damaging an engine, sabotaging the radar, any unnoticeable but flight-impacting failure, would suffice to keep the early warning aircraft grounded."

Gao Yang spoke softly: "Isn’t it too dangerous?"

Tarta shook his head and said: "Not dangerous, these things are difficult on one hand but relatively simple on the other. Fahd Military Base does indeed have a lot of people, but infiltration is definitely a lot easier than you’d expect, and it depends on which country’s military base it is. For Saudi Arabia, his military base is effectively unfortified, and Black Demon’s forces in Saudi Arabia are sufficient to accomplish this; it might just take some time."

Gao Yang hesitated for a moment, feeling that at worst they should retreat, better not let Black Demon’s people take risks, sabotaging something as sensitive as Saudi Arabia’s early warning aircraft is not something easily done.

"I’ll think it over. If the situation doesn’t improve, I’ll discuss with my teacher the feasibility of this plan."

At this moment, Yake suddenly said: "Abdullah is calling."

Yake quickly answered the call and said anxiously: "How’s the situation?"

After asking the question, Yake casually handed the phone to Gao Yang: "Abdullah wants to talk to you."

Gao Yang took the phone, and heard Abdullah’s low voice: "Seven companies will use mercenaries to enter Yemen for combat, wearing Saudi Arabia uniforms, using Saudi Arabia’s military numbers. Only four companies, including us, are willing to take on the business. We made full preparations and secured a large contract, providing 100 people to form a medium-sized unit entering Yemen for combat. The contract lasts a month, valued at thirty million US Dollars, with the content involving entering Yemen for combat and coordinating with Saudi Arabia’s military command, but we have the right to avoid fights beyond our competence."

Gao Yang spoke softly: "This deal pays well but not as high as expected. If it’s high-intensity special operations, the salaries we’d need to pay would be around 10,000,000, and if there’s casualties, the cost would be even higher."

Abdullah replied softly: "I know, but we can’t negotiate a higher commission now. This is our first contract at the Northwest Border, we must execute it well. If done well, we’ll have big opportunities ahead."

Gao Yang asked urgently: "Do you know when they’ll deploy the mercenaries for combat? Importantly, do you know when they’ll stop using the early warning aircraft?"

"The situation with the early warning aircraft is hard to say, but the mercenaries will be deployed to the battlefield within a week at the latest. The fastest, for example us, must enter the battlefield within three days."
