Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 598 The "Truth" of the Operation

Song Heping looked towards the screen following the sound.

There are about forty heat sources in the picture.

Each of these dots represents a person, and they appear in a rough human shape on the screen.

And Dax was referring to one of the teams of more than a dozen people.

There's something strange about this team.

It seemed that someone was escorting several people.

From their movements, it can be seen that a few of them were obviously slow in their movements, and the rest of the people around them were pushing and shoving them.

"problem occurs……"

Song Heping immediately realized that something might have gone wrong with the bombing.

"Willy, haven't those bombs you have at home been out of use for a long time? Are they expired? Who is responsible for their maintenance?"

Although it was a joke.

But Willy couldn't take it as a joke.

Now it is obvious that Song Heping was right.

The power of the Mother of Bombs is apparently not as good as imagined.

Afghanistan is full of mountains, and the Air Force technical bureaucrats had discussed this when formulating the attack plan and considering the ammunition to be used before the bombing.

It's just that the information they have is incomplete. After all, apart from the British who visited Afghanistan under the guise of exploration and obtained some geographical materials, there have been wars there since then and no mountain exploration has been done. There is no detailed soil and rock information, and they can only rely on 3D images for analysis.

Bombing underground bunkers is a technical job, and the slightest mistake can lead to a huge mistake.

Obviously, they messed up this mission.

"They also have a separate communication channel..."

Jiang Feng whispered in Song Heping's ear, "There's something fishy going on."

Song Heping said, "No matter what, they can kill us if they want. We accompanied them here to serve as a cover. This matter is too sensitive, and they are afraid of accidents, so they dare not send special forces to do it properly."

Jiang Feng understood what Song Heping meant.

After all, if you kill your own people, it will be fatal if the news gets out.

If something happens to PMC people, it is just PMC's problem.

"Song, can we talk?"

"Of course, I think you must have something to say to me now."

The two walked to the side, and Willy tilted his head as if thinking about how to start.

Song Heping looked at him for a while and sneered, "I guess they will be here soon. You should tell me the truth earlier. What exactly are you going to do this time?"

Willy glanced toward the main mountain and seemed to have made up his mind: "Our rescue operation this time is actually secondary. The most important goal is to kill Lieutenant Curtis."

"WTF?!"

Even Song Heping couldn't remain calm.

"Kill Curtis?! Aren't we here to rescue him? Isn't he one of yours?"

"Actually..."

Willy scratched his chin again.

"He used to be one of ours, but now he's a terrorist."

Song Heping was completely stunned!
A US Army second lieutenant and a congressman’s son are terrorists?
What kind of international joke is this?!
"What the hell is going on?" Song Heping felt like the world was unreal. What the hell was going on?

"Second Lieutenant Curtis is indeed the son of Senator Curtis, and he was indeed a second lieutenant in our army before, but this man's brain..."

Willy raised his finger and pointed at his head.

"I don't know when he became obsessed with extremist sects, and he secretly converted and volunteered to go to Afghanistan to fight. Now the ISA has found out that he had actually been providing intelligence about us to the Taliban since entering Afghanistan, until the start of this "Absolute Isolation" operation. He took advantage of the 3rd Division's deployment in the direction of Ma'ruf and actually defected to the Taliban with confidential documents..."

"Fuck me!"

Song Heping's mood at this moment could only be described as unbelievable. This matter could be the subject of a Hollywood movie or a novel.

"Are you sure he's a traitor and not a prisoner?"

Willy nodded. "It's definitely mutiny."

Song Heping: "..."

What else can I say?
That's it!

Thinking back to Miles's expression before, I finally understand now.

This is a complete scandal!
The son of a congressman became obsessed with extreme ideas and finally turned to Ata and became a believer?
If this inside information gets out, it will definitely make headlines in America the next day.

Especially in the sensitive period after 911/, the war on terror was launched vigorously around the world. The United States stood on the moral high ground and became the leader of anti-terrorism. It also won the support of many countries. Many countries even gave up their sovereign interests, such as the Manas Air Force Base in Kyrgyzstan. Even Russia gave up a lot of air channel resources within its traditional Central Asian sphere of influence to facilitate the United States' anti-terrorism war in Afghanistan.

If this news made the headlines, if Lieutenant Curtis released a video opposing the war or gave an interview to an independent journalist, the consequences would be disastrous...

"At first we didn't know about it and even mobilized an ODA team for a rescue, but it ended up being completely wiped out. It was only in the last communication that we learned that Curtis had become a traitor to our country!"

"Okay..." Song Heping had nothing to say.

What else can I say?
"Then let's get ready quickly. We'll do our best to help you rescue those surviving comrades. As for how to deal with Curtis, that's your business. I don't want to get involved. I'll just pretend I didn't see it!"

"Thank you for understanding."

Willy said, "To be honest, I was reluctant to carry out this operation. We lost so many people to save the son of that congressman and that traitor, but the higher-ups still wanted us to continue this mission for the sake of face. In fact, the White House didn't mean for us to kill Curtis, but to bring him back alive. Because his father is a congressman, his family is very powerful in the country, and he has a very close relationship with the boss who lives in the White House now. So not only do they want to bring him back, they also want to portray him as a hero, who was attacked and captured during the operation without giving up."

"what?!"

Song Heping was once again shocked to the point of losing his soul.

"So what do you mean now? Was it your own idea to kill him?"

"It should be said that it was some people in our military who had the idea," Willy said. "Our military has its own style of doing things. We have to give the White House respect, but if Lieutenant Curtis died, it was an accident."

"So you are willing to let other comrades be buried with you?" Song Heping asked back.

Willy gritted his teeth and said, "No trace of this matter can be exposed. It must be buried in the ground."

"They're here!"

Just as the two were discussing, Dax, who had been watching the surveillance footage, whispered a reminder.

"It's less than 800 meters now, we'll soon enter the valley!"

"So……"

Willy held out his hand.

"Have we reached an agreement?"

Song Heping looked at the hand, then looked at Willy, and finally reached out and shook hands with him.

"It is."

He knew clearly that these were the U.S. military's own "family affairs."

And it’s better to hear these secrets yourself.
