Chapter 459: Fake it for real

"Andrea is ready to withdraw."

In front of the library window, the eleven members of the Dongfeng Corps gathered together again.

They had escaped the so-called "clearance" without incident, or in fact, the clearance had not occurred at all.

The moment public opinion broke out, the college students who were most easily incited ran out of the library in a swarm, and even the library management staff followed to support them.

Everyone in the Dongfeng Corps easily hid at the end, closed the door to the library, and then used this place as their base to begin a long but not boring wait.

It said it was long because they waited for a full 10 hours, but there was still no reaction from the CIA personnel in the villa.

There were no signs of evacuation, and there were no conflicts with demonstrators.

The people inside seemed dead. Only the riot police who kept entering the villa and returning to the outside could prove that they were really still inside.

But, despite this, the process of watching the show is not boring.

From the beginning, the demonstration was just chanting slogans, then crude slogans about rushing work began to appear, then people started throwing stones, then physical conflicts broke out, then GRS opened fire and demonstrators fell to the ground, and now even Molotov cocktails have begun to appear , the time is only 10 hours.

It can be said that the Istanbul University Villa is the center of this chaos, and every scene that happens here is quite exciting, and Chen Chen enjoys watching it.

Of course, he did not forget his mission.

While the entire city was in chaos, Xia Xing finally received the second batch of equipment replenishment.

And because of the tense situation, the arms dealers also went crazy and began dumping various weapons into the city for free.

——

This seems to be a counter-intuitive behavior. Logically speaking, the more intense the conflict, the more exotic goods they should have.

But in fact, there are differences between arms dealers and traditional businessmen.

Traditional businessmen most of the time "follow the market", but what about arms dealers?

They create markets.

Nonsense, if we don't take advantage of this moment to further fuel the flames, if we don't take advantage of everyone's most intense emotions to send guns into their hands, and let the war break out, where will the tens of millions of arms squeezed from their hands be sold?

The first wave of sales is not called sales, it is purely "market expansion"!

Therefore, under this situation, the Dongfeng Corps can be said to have obtained a large amount of equipment very smoothly, and this time, what they got was even better than the first time.

Body armor, yes.

AK-74 and EOTEC sights are available.

Thermal imaging night vision devices, although they are pulsar ones, are also available.

Even the two RPG rocket launchers that were originally impossible to accept were finally obtained by him.

Among the crowds, Chen Chen and his team divided into three groups and transported the weapons to the library. After putting on all the equipment, the team's combat effectiveness had returned to at least 60% of its peak.

Next, they are really going to launch a beheading operation on Andrea.

But how to do it specifically requires more precise planning.

Seeing the gathering of more and more military police and their increasingly tight defensive formation, Chen Chen immediately judged that Andrea was about to evacuate.

But exactly how and where they will go is not an easy question to answer.

Chen Chen's intelligence power in Istanbul is almost non-existent. If he wants information, he has to get it from Xia Xing and others.

The good news is that once Istanbul is in chaos, no one cares whether you are SVR or GRU, whether you are in the north or south.

Wu Cong completely let go of his hands and feet, and the information he obtained in these few hours may even be more than in the past few months, and much more.

So, when Chen Chen called Wu Cong, he provided the most sufficient and direct intelligence assistance without hesitation.

"Based on the current situation, Andrea's retreat destination can no longer be in Istanbul."

"Most of their consulate has been burned down. The consul just evacuated by plane two hours ago."

"Right now, there are still two remaining CIA safe houses in Istanbul."

"One is a large secluded villa in the northern suburbs, and the other is a holiday cabin near the small Lake Chekmaj."

"The probability of Andrea going to Little Lake Chekmaj is basically equal to 0, and there is no room for him and his entourage there."

"And going to a villa in the northern suburbs is not in line with the development of the current situation."

"He must continue to maintain contact with the Turkish authorities. Hiding in the northern suburbs will run counter to their purpose."

"So, we judge that there is a high probability that they will leave Istanbul."

"Also, they are likely to leave via land routes."

"Land passage? Why?"

Chen Chen asked in surprise.

Logically speaking, the more dangerous the situation is, the more important it is to get on a plane and leave as quickly as possible?

Are you still waiting for others to attack you by taking the land passage here?

However, Wu Cong's answer gave him a new understanding of the CIA's way of doing things.

"Under the current circumstances, land access is slightly safer or more controllable than air access."

"Now the JD forces in the entire Islamic world are staring at Andrea. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are around the Istanbul University Villa. His every move may attract attention."

"Even if he evacuated through the underground passage, if he attempted to leave by air, his itinerary would be exposed."

"Of course, with the power of the CIA and Turkish military police, he will be able to leave safely."

"But the thing is, airports are going to take a hit."

"This is a price that Turkish officials absolutely cannot bear. It is impossible for him to let Andrea affect Turkey's overall stability anymore."

"So, Andrea's only option was to go overland."

"However, we don't have information yet on how to proceed and which path to take."

"What we can be sure of is that he will definitely go to Ankara and will definitely pass through three bridges."

"Because the Turkish military has begun to deploy armored forces to the three bridges, this is paving the way for Andrea."

"So, we're now faced with a choice of one of three?"

After listening to Wu Cong's narration, Chen Chen answered and asked.

"That's right. In theory, it's one of three choices."

Speaking of this, Wu Cong suddenly hesitated.

After a pause, he continued:

"Actually, I think this step is enough."

"You don't need to pursue that perfect ending anymore."

"The CIA's credibility in the Islamic world is almost bankrupt. This turmoil will continue for a long time. With this window period, we can also catch the direct murderer and gain a lot of bargaining chips."

"I mean, this is good enough. You don't actually need to take any more risks."

Wu Cong's words were completely considered from the perspective of Chen Chen and the Eastern Corps. He was really very sincere in persuading Chen Chen to "don't chase after poor enemies".

Chen Chen can understand his logic very well and accept it as soon as possible. This is the first rule for many intelligence officers to survive.

However, he is not an intelligence officer.

His principle is to beat up the drowned dog and take advantage of his illness to kill him.

If you don't kill Andrea now, will you keep him for a few more years and wait until he kills Soleimani before you think about raping him again?

In other words, do we naively think that just such a turmoil can shake his upward path?

How can it be!

This storm sounds huge and has a wide range of impacts, but the problem is that there are ways to break the situation in the United States.

In a word, as long as Syria is defeated, all chaos will be ended by them using the most violent means.

At that time, the entire world will return to the preset track, and the Middle East will still be a hellish battlefield for the United States to balance the two northern powers.

Chen Chen definitely didn't want this to happen.

Because in that case, the interests that should belong to you will completely turn into dust.

Only by killing Andrea can the Dongfeng Corps truly take root here.

So he opened his mouth and replied:

"Andrea must die."

"Even if he dies and the United States replaces a more powerful person in charge, he will still die."

"It's a signal, a flag, and in a sense, a spark."

"We have to let these people in the Middle East know that the wrongdoers have their own owners, and the lives of their soldiers should not be wasted in meaningless places, but should go directly to kill the culprits."

"And to do that, we have to show them."

"We have to let them know that the culprit can be killed and can be killed."

"So, there is no need to discuss whether to do this or not."

"The focus now is how to do it."

"There are only a dozen of us, and there is no chance of blowing up the bridge. Once he leaves Istanbul University, we will basically be unable to do anything."

"Even if he stays in college, you have no chance to take action."

Wu Cong interrupted Chen Chen, sighed and said:

"Objectively speaking, you definitely have a chance to kill him."

"However, it is basically impossible for people who carry out the execution to survive."

"Are you willing to do this?"

"Of course not."

Chen Chen answered without hesitation.

Wu Cong on the other end of the phone was not disappointed. After all, the Dongfeng Corps was just a mercenary group. They had no obligation and no need to die for any lofty ideal.

However, Chen Chen's next words made him freeze on the spot.

"But I know who would."

"who?"

"Maozi."

".SVR?"

"And the GRU."

"I see."

Wu Cong breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said:

"I'll get in touch."

"However, the GRU's strength near Istanbul is running out. Even if the Turkish side does not send out military escorts, it will be very difficult for them to kill Andrea in one wave."

"It's a matter of probability"

"no problem."

"As long as they can knock out most of the force, as long as they can find out which team Andrea is in, we will definitely be able to deal with him!"

"Okay, that's it!"

Wu Cong didn't talk too much, and hung up the phone with a bang.

Chen Chen, on the other hand, looked at the phone and remained silent for a long time.

After a moment, he dialed a number again.

After the call was connected, he said:

"I want to do something big. I guess I'll have to run for my life after this job is done."

"Whatever resources you have, please arrange them for me as soon as possible."

"I have to find a way to escape from Türkiye alive. As long as we enter Syria, we can come back alive."

“If you can’t get there”

"Do not talk nonsense."

The person on the other end of the phone interrupted Chen Chen bluntly, and then said:

"Just do it and I'll clear the way for you."

20 minutes later, near Uskudar, there was an ordinary three-story building.

Alexei just hung up the phone and looked at the large map on the flashing screen, and he fell into a brief thought.

The assistant on the side waited quietly without interrupting his thoughts, and even blocked everyone else who wanted to report from the door.

Because he knew that what his commander was facing now might be a fork in the road that would change the world.

With or without cooperation, the future of the Middle East may go in two completely different directions.

If you choose to cooperate, the costs and risks are huge, but the benefits are also huge.

If you choose not to cooperate, it will be a trivial matter if the other party does not succeed. If you succeed, you may be directly excluded from the dining table and completely lose the qualification to "dine".

This is definitely not an easy choice, and as the front-line commander with the greatest power, Alexei must be responsible for all his choices.

After a long time, Alexey suddenly sighed heavily.

Then, he spoke:

"I really didn't expect that they actually did this."

"At that time Andrea came to me, and I even thought that there was really an internal problem within us. It was the GRU or the signal flag people who received orders from nowhere."

"But in the end, it was them."

"Are you sure it's the north?"

the assistant asked subconsciously.

"If it weren't for them, they wouldn't be asking for cooperation at this time."

"Have you ever seen them put their hopes in someone else?"

"They're not asking for help, they're asking for cooperation."

"That is to say, even if we don't take action, they will definitely have an armed force to launch a surprise attack on Andrea."

"This is tantamount to pushing us into a corner - actually, you can see the problem with this situation, right?"

"Yes."

The assistant nodded slightly and then said:

"But we can still refuse - it can even be said that refusal is the safest and most secure solution now, we"

"No."
