Abad persuaded his brother Nuri to go to the annual visit to visit the grave, which is equivalent to giving Nuri lip service.
All Mandy had to do was organize US troops and go to the village of Ayubkel to capture Nuri.
In order to avoid being caught together, Abad made it clear that he would pretend to be sick and stay in Pakistan without traveling with him.
In addition to bringing out Nouri, Abad also revealed the detailed number of security personnel, route of action, etc.
Basically there is no difficulty.
Although Jason, Long Zhan and other team members still felt that something was not right with Abad, Eric believed that as long as Nuri could be caught, he would take action no matter what.
So after the meeting briefing was over, Eric and Mandy started working on their own.
Eric contacted the Joint Operations Command, and Mandy applied to the bureau through Belding to approve the action plan to capture Nuri Halani from two aspects.
It's about 10 o'clock in the evening.
Although it was already past the lights-out time, Eric still summoned everyone to the combat center and brought good news and bad news.
The good news is that the Nuri Halani mission was approved.
The bad news is there are no ground missions.
In view of the fact that the operation area belongs to the Taliban activity area, ground operations are very risky, and the above decided to solve it in a more direct way.
A drone operator as far away as Nevada remotely controlled a Predator drone equipped with air-to-surface missiles that had taken off from the airport at Forward Operating Base Fenty.
It is flying to the village of Ayoub Kele where Nuri is located. Upon arrival, it will blow up the house directly with missiles.
Long Zhan and others, who had been chasing the murderer for more than a month, finally found the real murderer behind the killing of Team E, but they were unable to carry out the task themselves.
You can only sit in the combat center and watch the "show" of missiles blasting people through the screen broadcast by drones.
Not even popcorn!
Everyone who heard the bad news was bored. Everyone suddenly became weak and sat in the combat center. They were so bored that they almost took off their shoes and picked their feet.
But even though they were very unwilling, no one left just like that.
After all, after working so hard for so long and not being able to personally kill the murderer of Team E, watching a big firework explode is better than nothing.
Ten minutes later.
The Predator drone flying at supersonic speed arrived over the village of Ayubkal.
According to the intelligence provided by Abad, the village hotel where Nuri and his bodyguards settled was accurately located, and the night vision images were transmitted to the operations center.
"Being blown up in his sleep, painless, would be too kind to him."
"This is the real sleep."
"There seems to be bodyguard activities around the hotel. These guys are quite dedicated."
…
Team A and Team B, who were so idle that they could only watch the show, made all kinds of boring complaints and remarks to the drone surveillance footage broadcast in the big topic.
"What is that, is it a bus?"
Brian, who poured a cup of coffee for Long Zhan, turned his head and saw something unusual in the picture.
"It is indeed a bus, but why is there a bus in the village?" Jason also felt very strange.
"There is a large *** school in Gardez, and students often pass by in minibuses. Maybe some students stay overnight in the village on the way."
Vanessa specializes in Afghan culture and has a relatively comprehensive understanding of information about schools.
"you mean……"
Jason stared and said in shock: "There may be many dormitory students in the house that is about to be bombed? So the bombing operation..."
Jason didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone here understood the meaning.
If there are really a large number of civilians, or even underage children, in the hotel, if this missile blows up, there will be a lot of fun tomorrow.
"We have 14 hours of combat time, and the drone can stay over the target until tomorrow afternoon." Diaz said calmly.
"How many hours can we wait for the civilians to leave before the operation can continue?" Clay asked.
"The premise is that they will leave." Mandy took a deep breath and said.
"Even if they leave, by then the villagers will have woken up, and Nuri will most likely wake up and leave, and the missile will not be able to lock on accurately."
Eric frowned and just finished speaking, the phone in his pocket rang.
Mandy's phone rang at the same time.
The news they got when they got on the phone was that the drone air strike had been cancelled, and the command would not take the risk of causing any collateral damage.
"Operation cancelled, guys, I hope you have some entertainment tonight."
After hearing the final result announced by Eric, Team A and Team B, who were already feeling very disappointed, had disgusting expressions on their faces.
Even if you can't directly participate in the action, even the only killing show is gone.
This is so ridiculous, it's just nonsense.
"Boss, maybe our opportunity has come. We can do things that drones can't do without causing any innocent collateral damage."
Just when everyone dispersed in anger, Long Zhan approached Jason and made a suggestion.
"Good boy!"
Jason reacted immediately, knowing what Long Zhan meant, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Guys, wait a minute."
"Hey, another Hayes three-pointer?" Ray walked back with a smile.
Everyone in Team A and Team B who were about to leave stopped leaving because of Jason's shout, and turned their eyes curiously to Jason.
"The superiors rejected our plan when drones were available. Now that drones can no longer be used, I feel that our plan cannot be rejected."
Jason shrugged his shoulders and looked at Eric, and said seriously: "Let's go, we can do what the machine can't do."
"Civilian casualties remain a problem..."
"No, we don't need air cover."
Jason interrupted Eric, pointed at the map and said: "We can walk into the village, avoid all civilians and children, enter the hotel and capture Nuri alive.
Only in this way can we fully understand what he is doing and his real purpose in attacking Team W. "
Eric was moved by Jason's idea, put his hands on his hips and said: "I can apply to Admiral Cook, but I can't guarantee whether it will pass.
I can find a way for you to get a helicopter. There are several Huey helicopters from the Drug Enforcement Administration available. I can find a way to borrow them. "
"Gentlemen, I need to remind you that if you leave now, it will be dawn when you get there." Mandy interrupted everyone and reminded them.
"Then operate during the day."
As soon as Jason finished speaking, Lei echoed: "Yes, then we can do daytime operations."
"You still don't understand what I mean."
Mandy sighed helplessly, pointed to the map with a solemn face and said: "Like everyone else, I want to catch Nuri, but that is a Taliban area.
All adult males within a 100-kilometer radius hate the U.S. military and will inevitably support Halani.
Once you appear in their sight, it is likely to cause them to attack you, if you are caught on the spot..."
Mandy didn't finish what she said, but everyone here understood what she meant.
The U.S. military has been fighting in Afghanistan for so many years. What will happen to the U.S. troops captured by the Taliban has already been in the news, and there is no need to say more.
