I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar - #458 - Chapter 450 Supercharging Plan

After determining the direction of the operation, the first thing Chen Chen had to do was to conduct manual reconnaissance of the attack location and collect Humint (manual intelligence).

This matter cannot be directly handed over to the intelligence department, because the reconnaissance focus of the intelligence department is different from the reconnaissance focus of the operations department, or the attack team.

For a very simple reason, an intelligence officer may focus more on observing the monitoring and surveillance posts at an attack point, while the attack team focuses on the defensive force itself.

Maybe the enemy will deploy multiple hidden sentries near the target point, but as long as these hidden sentries cannot form a fire support point, the attack team will not pay too much attention.

This is the same for intelligence agencies around the world.

Let’s take the CIA as an example. In an attack led by the CIA, after the CIA completes the preliminary background investigation, most of the reconnaissance work will be handed over to the PMO (paramilitary agents) under CIASAD.

After completing the initial offensive reconnaissance work, these PMOs will continue to hand over the final reconnaissance tasks before the operation to specific execution groups. Whether they are seconded SOCOMs, Rangers, or Green Berets, they must complete it themselves. Final evaluation to determine whether the task can be performed.

Therefore, according to this logic, when the early background information has been basically prepared, the Dongfeng Corps itself still has to visit the front line in person to conduct a “mission feasibility assessment.”

The risk of this job is actually not high. After all, Istanbul is a tourist city, and the entire city is full of tourists. Not to mention the CIA’s safe house disguised as a civilian building. Even the heavily guarded city hall is closed every year. A large number of tourists went to check in and take photos at the gunpoint of the security personnel.

As long as you don’t go too far and as long as your identity is not exposed in the early stage, generally speaking, it is difficult to attract special attention during close reconnaissance missions.

Based on this general premise, after handing over specific information to Wu Cong, Chen Chen organized everyone to start the first reconnaissance work early the next morning.

No one was carrying any equipment that might attract attention, not even wireless headsets.

They wandered around the city as if they were really tourists on vacation in Istanbul.

The locations of the safe houses provided by Wu Cong are quite scattered. According to tourists’ logic, it is basically impossible to complete the reconnaissance in one day.

Therefore, Chen Chen chose a relatively “randomized” strategy.

On the morning of the first day, we went to a tobacco shop and a dental clinic.

In the afternoon of the first day, we went to a tobacco shop and a Bu0026B hotel.

The next morning, we went to the dental clinic and Bu0026B hotel.

Of course, their target every time was not the target itself – except for actually going to the tobacco shop to buy cigarettes, the other two points they chose were other buildings and facilities near the target point.

For example, candy and chocolate shops next to dental clinics, and travel agencies next to Bu0026B hotels.

After a round of reconnaissance, Chen Chen has basically mastered all the information on the three target points, and has already made a preliminary plan on how to launch an attack.

Next, it’s time to put the plan into action.

Chen Chen made an appointment with Wu Cong to the hotel again according to the contact information provided by Wu Cong. After hearing the direction of Chen Chen’s plan, he froze in place.

“What?”

“You mean, you want to directly destroy these three safe houses of the CIA?”

“No, do you know how powerful the CIA is in Istanbul?”

“With just 12 of you, do you expect to kill them all?”

“of course not.”

A mysterious smile appeared on Chen Chen’s face, and then he answered:

“I’m going to put a little pressure on the CIA.”

“Create pressure? They won’t feel pressure just because of you people. You know, Maozi has also organized several operations in Istanbul, but”

“We think differently than they do.”

Chen Chen interrupted Wu Cong and continued:

“It’s not us that creates pressure, it’s Türkiye’s security system.”

“I will continue to create attacks against the CIA in the city, continue to undermine public order here, put Turkish officials under pressure, and then transfer this pressure to the CIA.”

“In this way, they will have to mobilize more manpower to deal with our offensive, and you can free your hands and feet to do what you should do.”

“So, is it a pretty perfect plan?”

“.Perfect, except that the probability of your survival is too low.”

Wu Cong sighed and refused:

“This plan is too risky and I cannot approve its execution.”

“We don’t need your approval. We are just a cooperative relationship, not a superior-subordinate relationship.”

Chen Chen shook his head and said firmly:

“We only need you to provide us with initial equipment support. Other than that, you don’t need to do anything.”

“.I have to ask my superiors for instructions.”

“Everything is fine, but this operation can be pushed back.”

“Now, I need to know what power the CIA has in Istanbul.”

At this point, Wu Cong could not continue to follow Chen Chenjuan. After thinking for a moment, he answered:

“What we know so far is that the CIA has a complete organizational structure in Istanbul.”

“There are about 10 DI and DT personnel, that is, intelligence and technical personnel respectively. At least three of them have been identified and are PAG personnel under CIASAD. These three people are high-level political propaganda. Basically, we do not care.”

“Your biggest concern should be DO personnel, which are operations personnel.”

“At this point, the CIA’s layout in Istanbul is relatively unbalanced – their total number of operatives should be more than 100.”

“This is because the situation in Syria is tense, and Turkey, as an important outpost for the CIA to penetrate Syria, must arrange a large number of reserve forces here.”

“However, this is only temporary. We estimate that within a week or two, most of the DO personnel in Istanbul will be transferred to the Turkish-Syrian border, and eventually a team of about 10 people will remain in Istanbul.”

“Specifically when it comes to DO personnel, the CIA has a total of three forces in Istanbul.”

“The first team is CIASAD’s PMO personnel, the number should be more than 20 people.”

“These people are basically retired personnel from various special forces, including Rangers, Green Berets, Navy SEALs, etc.”

“Is it a regular Ranger, or a Ranger’s RRC?”

Chen Chen interrupted Wu Cong and asked.

Rangers RRC and Rangers are not the same thing. If I have to give an example, compared to Rangers, RRC is equivalent to the first camp in the ancient vanguard camp. Although it doesn’t sound much different, there is no difference in combat effectiveness. Small.

“It must be the RRC, as well as the CIF of the Green Berets. The PMO selection standards of CIASAD are very high, and the ordinary soldiers of the Rangers cannot meet the standards.”

“Understood.”

Chen Chen gestured for Wu Cong to continue.

Wu Cong coughed and continued:

“.These PMO personnel rarely directly participate in external missions. Most of their responsibilities are security, protection and vigilance, and their scope of activities is basically limited to their own territories.”

“However, under special circumstances, they will also take the initiative.”

“But again, these PMOs are directly affiliated with the CIA after all, and their hands can’t be too dirty.”

“So, the real dirty work will be done by GRS.”

“GRS is the Global Response Force. This is an armed force for hire, but they are different from other PMCs. They are directly employed and only employed by CIASAD.”

“In a sense, they are you.”

“According to reliable information, the GRS has deployed more than 50 people in Istanbul. Most of these people will be sent to Syria in the future, but they are still staying in Istanbul.”

“If you want to cause trouble, then your enemies will most likely be them.”

“These people are well-equipped and act without scruples. Once they start fighting, they will not estimate the Turkish government’s response.”

“This is also the reason why I am not optimistic about your actions – if you want to do it, at least wait until they leave.”

“If we don’t discuss this, what else is there?”

Chen Chen interrupted Wu Cong again, who shook his head helplessly and continued:

“There is also a seconded special forces unit and we don’t have any reliable information.”

“We only know that there is a high probability that they are here and here, but we have no idea who they are or how many there are.”

“This special force should be mobilized in response to the war in Syria. What they need to carry out is probably a beheading operation against the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad.”

“Theoretically, you won’t have a direct conflict with them.”

“But if it happens, then you can only ask for blessings.”

“clear.”

After listening to Wu Cong’s words, Chen Chen also had a general understanding of the CIA’s military strength in Istanbul.

One word to describe:

Strong soldiers and strong horses!

No wonder Beibei is so passive here, no wonder even Maozi can’t get any benefit from them.

what else can we do?

People just have more people and guns, and they are just unscrupulous.

However, Chen Chen still believed that these people were definitely not invincible.

As long as you find the right method, you can achieve greater success at a relatively small cost.

You know, although Istanbul is a modern city, you won’t see much surveillance here.

In a sense, it’s a “concrete jungle.”

The jungle happens to be the best combat scene for the Dongfeng Corps.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen said:

“I have basically understood the situation.”

“Next, I need you to help me do a few things.”

“First, we need to leave Istanbul and come back.”

“All evidence of our stay here must be erased, and our identities must not be exposed.”

“However, if Lin Chenming really wants to leave, he will go to Gaziantep to pick up the dog.”

“Understood, I will do this without you having to ask.”

After hearing Wu Cong’s answer, Chen Chen nodded slightly and continued:

“Second, we need to go to the black market to buy weapons and equipment. Please give me the information of several contacts.”

“Black market purchases are too easy to expose. You guys understand, you just want to be exposed.”

“No problem, I can give it to you.”

“Okay. Thirdly, I need you to help me publish a message.”

“You have to contact the media as soon as possible. No matter what method you use, you must tell them that there is a big news that will affect the entire Arab world and it will be exposed soon!”

“.Do you really have one?”

There was a suspicious look in Wu Cong’s eyes. Chen Chen nodded confidently and replied:

“I really do.”

“Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have one. Just make up something.”

“Anyway, the audience of this public opinion offensive doesn’t care about the truth or falsehood at all. They just need an outlet to vent their emotions.”

“The powder keg in Syria has been ignited, and Libya has been blown to pieces. This is the best time, bar none!”

“Okay, I believe you.”

Wu Cong solemnly said:

“I will report your plan to my superiors, and if it is approved, I will implement it according to your plan.”

“If it doesn’t pass, I still hope you can follow our requirements and cooperate with our actions.”

“After all, if big things can’t be done, we must at least do a small thing and catch the direct murderer first.”

“I see.”

Chen Chen nodded slowly and replied:

“Don’t worry, I won’t let him go.”

A few minutes later, Wu Cong left the Hilton Hotel where the Dongfeng Corps settled. Immediately afterwards, Chen Chen took out his satellite phone and broadcast a very familiar number.

Not a small fish.

It’s a jackal.

The phone was picked up quickly. After hearing Chen Chen’s voice, the jackal on the other end of the phone couldn’t hide his surprise.

“Shipwreck, have you arrived in Damascus? Or are you still in Turkey? Istanbul?”

“We’re still in Istanbul, but I don’t have time to chat with you – give the phone to Jia, I need her to do something for me!”

“Jiya? Got it.”

Jackal’s work efficiency was astonishingly high. In less than a minute, Jiya’s voice came from the receiver.

“Wreck, I’m Jiya.”

“There is one thing I need your help with.”

“I want to investigate a man and get something from him.”

“This man is still in the United States, and we have no way to get close to him, but I believe that the person behind you must have a way to get what I want.”

“How about, help me do this, and I will say a few more good words for you.”

“.A few kind words? What an attractive offer.”

Jiya laughed slightly teasingly, and then said:

“But there is nothing I can do. We are just news people, not agents. We are not good at stealing, robbing and other things.”

“unnecessary.”

“All you need to do is contact the person I gave you, give him a sum of money as an admirer, and then find a way to get a video from him.”

“He won’t be defensive because he’s a fool.”

“.It’s that simple?”

“It’s that simple.”

“.Do you provide funding?”

“We provide all the funding.”

“No problem, I can try – but, what is his name?”

Chen Chen paused, and then a name blurted out:

“Sam Batchelley.”
