Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 159: Soldiers have no fixed form
Two days later.

Major Rajeev, the commander of the death squad at the refractory factory, has been feeling uneasy these days.

He felt the pressure.

Shadamu hasn't had a good night's sleep since he was arrested in Tikrit.

As the battle situation in Mosul becomes clearer, Najif has made preparations for the transfer. He has already contacted the organization in Rubait and is preparing to transport the gold to the southern desert.

In any case, Gayala is no longer safe.

"Major, it's time for dinner."

One of his men came and knocked on his office door.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

He looked at his watch and it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.

It's getting dark.

Step out of your office and look around.

There are fixed sentries at the corners of the walls surrounding the factory.

All of his men were now dressed as civilians, but they all had guns hidden in their robes.

His eyes swept over a few more buildings.

You can vaguely see small rooms like guardhouses on the roof.

That is a machine gun point, guarded by heavy machine guns.

These small guardhouses were all built by ourselves.

The purpose is simple, to allow the machine gunner to hide inside and avoid being discovered by aerial reconnaissance.

On weekdays, even if a US military reconnaissance plane flies over, it will only see one factory that is still in operation and nothing else.

The sentries are in place.

Rajeev's uneasy heart calmed down a little.

He walked into the dining hall slowly.

This factory is a closed world.

Except for a small number of suicide squad members who took rotation leave, the remaining two hundred or so people lived in this factory area, because there were complete dormitories, office buildings and warehouses here. Not to mention more than two hundred people, even a battalion of soldiers could be accommodated.

The happiest time of the day is when we eat.

The food in the canteen here is very good.

Because there is no shortage of money...

Of course, with so much gold, how can you be short of money?

Before moving the gold here, Rajeev had the three gold bars melted into gold bars and sold them separately on the black market in different places.

This funding has not yet been spent.

Rebuilding the army and organizing a counterattack...

Now it seems that hope is becoming increasingly slim.

As the commander of the gold guarding force, Rajeev has already thought of embezzling the gold.

Today's Iraq is a place where many heroes are vying for supremacy. Armed factions are separatist in various places. Those who are capable and against the United States have all joined the US military and the interim government in Iraq.

For a former member of the Revolutionary Guard's death squad like me, it is impossible to join the new regime, but if I organize an armed force, be active in the border areas, and carve out my own territory, I can live a comfortable life.

At the dining table and under the table, his men brought him food.

Naan, mutton, soup...

The soup is good and has an enticing aroma.

Smell it.

Mutton soup.

Rajeev couldn't help but pick it up and take a big sip.

Tastes good...

He grabbed the naan, wrapped the mutton in it, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate until his mouth was full of oil.

Night falls slowly.

On the fifth floor in the distance, Song Heping sat in front of the observation mirror, staring at the movements in the refractory factory through the high-power lens.

He saw someone coming out of the cafeteria, stretching and yawning.

Then the guard posts began to change.

six thirty.

We change shifts at this point every time we eat.

Same as the previous monitoring log.

no difference.

After the shift change, Song Heping waited for about half an hour and became a little impatient.

The cook's voice came from the earphones.

"Sang, is it okay? Why do I see no movement at the gate?"

"Not yet..."

Song Heping saw that there seemed to be people still active in the factory.

Someone was crossing the open space, walking from the office building towards the warehouse.

"We have to wait..."

"Boss, we saw no one coming in or out from the back door. The sentries used to pass by here occasionally and could see through the door, but I haven't seen anyone pass by in more than ten minutes."

Gray Wolf's voice also sounded a little anxious in the channel.

"Wait a little longer...don't be so impatient! Stay calm! Stay calm!"

In fact, Song Heping was more anxious than anyone else.

He couldn't help but turn around and ask Samir behind him.

"Are you sure you put all the medicine into their water filter?"

"Sure!"

Samir said: "I put in more than ten kilograms!"

"Are you sure you bought the right medicine?" Song Heping was still a little worried.

Samir said, "It was definitely the right thing to buy. There's a shortage of medicine for humans here right now, but there's plenty for animals. I asked around, and one small spoonful can knock out a donkey or even a camel! Ten or so kilograms is enough to knock them out!"

"Could it be that the pool is too big and the water is diluted..."

Song Heping muttered to himself.

No matter how hard he tried yesterday, he couldn't think of a way to break into the factory without alerting the US military.

To put it bluntly, it is not even certain whether they can break in with the strength of 9 people.

Song Heping once thought about contacting Afanti and asking him to send a commando team across the border to assist his operation.

Or mobilize all the Persian action team members in Irigaray to assist.

But on second thought, this would easily expose myself.

No one can guarantee whether there are double agents among the Persians lurking in Irigoe.

The CIA's infiltration capabilities should never be underestimated.

If one of them is a double agent, everything will be in vain.

Including last night when Song Heping asked Afanti to release false information, saying that the Persians would take action somewhere in the south to seize the gold.

In order to create smokescreen, he also asked Afanti to deliberately mobilize all the action agents in Irigo to gather in the south, creating the illusion that the gold was in a southern city.

Therefore, the Persians could not be mobilized.

The same problem exists on Haimur's side.

As for Hamed, the person in charge of the contact, Song Heping ordered him not to leave the building and even confiscated his mobile phone.

Not to mention asking Haimur to send people to assist.

Some things have to be done by yourself.

Otherwise I will definitely not feel at ease.

Just when he was reaching despair with all the simulated attacks on the map, he suddenly discovered something.

According to the drawings of the factory when it was built, the water source for the refractory plant was to use the water pump motor on site to pump water from the Tigris River two kilometers away, which was then precipitated in a filter pool outside the factory, then pumped back into the factory for filtration, and finally sent to the tap for use by people in the factory.

A light bulb went off in Song Heping's head at that moment.

Special operations principles may include the use of all means.

Including poisoning.

It is also a means of warfare.

Everyone in the factory gets water there.

Every adult should drink water every day.

So poisoning is a good option.

However, it is impossible to buy so many highly toxic drugs at once.

But just because highly toxic drugs are unavailable doesn’t mean that sleeping pills for livestock and other items are unavailable.

There are a lot of donkeys and other livestock in Yiligo.

Many people in their area use livestock for labor, so it is easy to find medicine for livestock.

So, Song Heping asked Samir and Hamed to go to the city and buy all the anesthetics and sleeping pills for livestock that they could find.

There were more than ten kilograms of medicine, and in the afternoon he secretly ran to the sedimentation and filtration pool and poured it all in.

According to the surveillance days, smoke was seen coming out of the cafeteria at four o'clock every afternoon, indicating that cooking was done there.

That's right.

At this time, they pour the medicine in, use water when cooking, and like to drink some tea after eating. And when changing shifts at 6:30, the sentries will carry a large kettle to their duty stations.

Iligo is dry, so people drink a lot of water every day.

It's impossible not to drink water.

Even if it's diluted, people should fall into a deep sleep at night. By then...

Just as he was thinking about it, Song Heping suddenly saw in the field of view of the observation mirror that the two people who were walking from the office building to the warehouse were about ten meters away from the warehouse. One of them staggered and fell to the ground.

The other person also seemed to be stumbling, standing there stupidly as if sleepwalking, and didn't even try to pull his companion...

“It seems to be working…”

Song Heping looked at this funny scene and a smile appeared on his face.

"Attention, all teams! I've seen people collapse in the open space. It looks like the drug is taking effect. Wait a little longer. It's eight o'clock now. There's still time. The more people collapse, the better. Follow my orders before entering."

There are fewer people walking around in Qayara City at night.

The whole city seemed to be asleep, and the factory was located on the edge of the city, making it even quieter.

Song Heping sat by the windowsill and heard the chirping of unknown insects.

He took the telescope to another window and changed the direction to look towards the American military camp.

The American military camp was also peaceful and the lights were bright. After all, these guys didn't need any blackouts. Now they controlled the sky of Irigo.

well.

Just be quiet.

The US military doesn't like to go out to fight at night. Most of them will drink beer and grill some meat in the camp.

This isn't Mosul, they're relaxed.

That's good.

Song Heping returned to the window facing the factory area.

In the camera, there were a few more guys lying on the open space in the factory area, probably asleep.

Wait until 8:40.

Song Heping could no longer see any signs of living people in the factory.

So he picked up his gear and started downstairs.

"Samir, Hamed, follow me!"

As they went downstairs, Song Heping notified the Cook and Gray Wolf teams on the channel.

"Cook, Gray Wolf, your two teams are ready to enter through the front and back doors. I think the fire is almost ready."

After getting in the car, Song Heping took out his satellite phone and contacted Afanti: "I've already started the evacuation. You can start the evacuation plan. I'll contact you when it's done."

"no problem!"

Afanti seemed a little worried and asked again.

"Are you sure you don't want my help?"

"Sure, I've almost got it now."

Song Heping didn't have time to talk nonsense with him and hung up the phone directly.

Then Ferrari was contacted.

"Ferrari, what happened to the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"According to reports, the CIA station in Bakda and the GRS have been extremely busy and have been transferred to the southern sector. Thomas and his men are no longer in the Green Zone. As for the SAD personnel, I don't know where they are going, but since the GRS is also heading to the southern sector, it seems they were mobilized based on false intelligence."

"Okay, you stay home and keep an eye on the movements. If you notice anything amiss, notify us immediately."

"rest assured!"

After getting in the car, Samir stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly towards the refractory factory.

In less than 7 minutes, the car arrived at the gate of the refractory factory.

Song Heping glanced at the gate.

It's still closed there.

He gestured to Samir to park the car in the bushes next to the factory.

He got out of the car and approached the main gate cautiously with his gun in hand.

When he reached the door, he stretched out his hand and made two long and one short strokes.

The door creaked open a crack.

A pair of eyes inside were watching the outside vigilantly.

The door opened only after seeing that it was Song Heping.

"Boss, are you here?"

Yulia quit even being a sniper.

There are 9 people, and all of them must be utilized to the fullest extent.

"Yes, Samir and Hamed are in the back. You watch here while I go in and take a look."

"They are cleaning and checking the building. Please go in."

Song Heping entered the gate and turned towards the office building first.

The basement is at the entrance to the parking lot on the side of the office building. There is a downward slope there. It is nominally a parking lot, but in fact it is a basement used to hide gold.

"Cook, where are you?"

"I'm on the second floor of the office building. Haha, these guys are all asleep! Like dead pigs!"

Song Heping said, "I'll go find the entrance to the basement first. The gate there is closed."

"No, blow it up."

"No, don't make any noise."

Song Heping was looking for the entrance to the underground parking lot on the first floor.

Because the underground gate of the parking lot has been closed, from the outside, the gate is made of steel, not an ordinary door, and it is difficult to open without a key.

Song Heping deduced that there must be someone guarding the underground parking lot, and he must have the key on him.

So he decided to try his luck.

The way to the parking lot is not difficult to find.

Found it in the fire escape in the stairwell.

Song Heping went down the stairs to the basement.

When I first entered, it was pitch black all around and I couldn’t see anything.

Song Heping quickly put on night vision goggles.

The parking lot was empty, there was nothing there.

Song Heping suddenly felt a little lost.

He walked around inside but found nothing.

"Where's the gold?"

He couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

A layer of sweat broke out on my back.

Could it be that the intelligence was wrong?

He quickly asked other groups in the channel: "Has anyone seen gold?"

“There’s none above the office building.”

"I was in the factory, and I didn't see it..."

"I went to two warehouses and didn't find anything..."

Everyone's reports caused Song Heping's blood pressure to slowly rise.

paralysis.

Is this really false information?

damn it!
Song Heping walked around the parking lot by himself, and finally, he decided to find the power switch.

Turn on the light first.

It took him a full five minutes to find the power switch in the corner.

When the switch was turned on, the underground parking lot was suddenly brightly lit.

Song Heping turned off the night vision goggles and looked around.

Still empty...

"Hold!"

He couldn't help but curse.

He turned around and went upstairs to find the commander here.

Only by finding the commander and interrogating him can we know whether there is gold here.

However, the people here have now taken animal-level doses of sleeping pills and anesthetics, and they don’t even know how long they will fall asleep. What should we do?

It's over! It's over!

This is one of the disadvantages of taking medication.

Now the medicine has taken effect and even my tongue is gone.

Just when he was getting anxious, Song Heping suddenly noticed that there was something like a switch box hanging on the wall not far from the power switch.

Song Heping walked over and opened the box.

There are two buttons inside.

A red.

One green.

Song Heping reached out to press the green button.

But the finger stopped an inch away from the button.

"Calm down! Calm down... Impulse is the devil!"

He kept repeating a sentence to calm himself down.

　Asking for a monthly ticket! Asking for a monthly ticket!
