Chapter: 5391
The Breakthrough Army couldn't help but nod his head, saying, "Mr. Ye, you're very reasonable. Near-defense guns like this are something we don't have. According to my knowledge, Hamid's command doesn't have such powerful heavy artillery either. So the only option is to buy from the arms market."
"And these kinds of things are usually sold by Russian or Eastern European arms dealers. We need to go one layer deeper to find out more, so it's not realistic to steal a few or snatch some; after we've bought them, we can't just eliminate them either. If there's even one leak, the whole thing will be exposed, and before we know it, the near-defense guns might still be installed, but we'll have already been scolded by global arms dealers..."
Ye Chen furrowed his brow, thinking for half a day, then suddenly thought of a way to go about it. "I've got an idea!"
The Breakthrough Army hastily asked, "Mr. Ye, do you have any good ideas?"
Ye Chen said, "Find a few American members from the Wan Long Temple and let them disguise themselves as Americans, then join the Blackwater company people and search for near-defense gun sellers. Once we find them, we'll negotiate with them privately under the name of Blackwater Company, saying that these equipment are being transported to the Middle East to help the US fight a war. It's quite sensitive, so we'll keep it low-key."
"The Breakthrough Army said, 'Good plan! Blame it on Blackwater and let the Clearing Committee go to Blackwater to investigate. Not only can we shift their attention away from us, but also cause them a lot of trouble! Ah, our Wan Long Temple and Blackwater Company have always had issues with each other. They rely on American backing, so they often give us trouble and keep dirty hands. We may not be doing something noble, but it's still an excellent opportunity to weaken them!'"
Ye Chen asked him, "Does the Wan Long Temple have gold reserves?"
"Yes." The Breakthrough Army replied without hesitation, "We have about half a ton of gold reserves, which should be worth around 10 billion US dollars."
"Good." Ye Chen instructed, "Make sure to use gold transactions and give them an extra 10% based on the gold price. Absolutely do not use cash or remittances!"
"Alright!" The Breakthrough Army immediately replied, "Mr. Ye, don't worry. I understand. When the time comes, we'll use all gold transactions. I'll arrange for someone to re-melt the gold in advance, so that when we start using it, there won't be any traces left."
Ye Chen said, "Since we're going to act, let's do a full-scale job. First, investigate how many people Blackwater has in the Middle East and quietly capture two or three of them. Then, hide them away and select some subordinates from our Wan Long Temple who resemble these people in terms of physique and age. Let them disguise themselves as Blackwater employees and go to Eastern Europe to do business, directly pinning this trouble on Blackwater!"
The Breakthrough Army replied without hesitation, "Mr. Ye, your idea is simple! Blackwater Company has many mercenary soldiers in Syria who are busy helping the US military transport oil from Syria. I'll personally take care of it and capture a few people easily."
Ye Chen immediately said, "Good! Don't delay. You need to do this today! Then, quickly set up near-defense guns. Once we buy the near-defense guns, choose two or three mutually covering high points within the copper mine. On the selected high points, build glass houses using one-way glass and place the near-defense guns inside. Ensure that we are always in a state of combat readiness, ready to fire at any moment. As soon as the near-defense guns lock onto our enemies, I'll open fire through the glass!"
As Ye Chen spoke to himself, "The bullets for the near-defense guns will be expensive, about $1,000 per shot. If we prepare three guns and shoot 100 rounds per second, that's $30 million per second! Don't worry! When the time comes, I'll fire until my death!"
"The Breakthrough Army replied without hesitation, 'Mr. Ye, don't worry, I'll do my best to set up a good layout before the enemy arrives. When the time comes, I'll personally go to the copper mine and make sure they won't be able to come back!'
'Good!' Ye Chen said, 'Well, Breakthrough Army, I have one more thing. Since our plan is already in place, I suggest we start evacuating personnel early.'"
"Ye Chen continued, 'Once the enemy suspects something's amiss or tries to investigate this base, they'll only come from the ground level and won't try to play along with us; at that moment, we'll fire first and eliminate them. Therefore, those underground fighters and their families no longer need to stay in hiding.'"
"I recommend you prepare a cargo ship now, wait until tonight to evacuate all personnel and their families on board, letting the surface guards and their families also make preparations for retreat, just like earthquake drills; arrange the details of evacuation beforehand.'"
"For example, when we start evacuating, who will be responsible for protecting family members, who will count the number of people, who will be in charge of transferring important supplies, and who will handle the final full-scale explosion? Everyone should divide tasks beforehand to reduce pressure at the time of our plan starting. If only surface personnel are left behind, we can assign them to focus on their tasks and bring back the near-defense guns when needed.'"
"No problem!' The Breakthrough Army replied immediately, 'I'll bind up Blackwater people first, then go to the copper mine and follow my teacher's instructions, so they can start preparing right away!'
"Ye Chen reminded him, 'Oh, by the way, don't bind anyone in Syria; after all, you're currently stationed there. If you do bind someone, it'll be too late, and they might suspect something.'"
"The Breakthrough Army responded without hesitation, 'Then I'll go to Iraq and bind them! After all, the US military transports oil from Syria to Iraq, so I can bind them in Iraq and bring them back quietly to Syria.'"
"Ye Chen laughed, 'Good!'
"Right now, right here."
