Benghazi is 643 kilometers away from Tripoli.
The U.S. Embassy where Stevens was originally staying was already in chaos because the Benghazi consulate was attacked. . .
The number one ambassador in the embassy is away, and the number two minister is solely responsible for the rescue.
In the temporary emergency rescue center, the minister asked loudly: "I need to know what the situation is now. Have you contacted the rescue unit?"
"I contacted the State Department Operations Center in Washington," a staff member reported.
"US Africa Command is online." Then another staff member reported.
"Help me pick up the State Department."
The minister picked up the microphone on the table in front of him and immediately said after connecting: "I am Minister Hicks of the Libyan Embassy. The Benghazi consulate was attacked. The thugs were very crazy. All the local guards at the front door ran away..."
The second-in-command at the embassy contacted the State Department and began reporting on the attack.
On the other side, at the CIA intelligence station in Benghazi, the GRS team, which had prepared vehicles, weapons and ammunition, was stopped by the station commander.
Teague drove out the Mercedes-Benz bulletproof off-road vehicle, and Long Zhan also got a German Heikeng Company hk69a1 40mm grenade launcher.
The launcher has a muzzle velocity of 76 meters per second, an effective range of 50 to 350 meters, and a maximum range of 400 meters.
Use m406 high-explosive grenade, referred to as "HE" bomb, with a killing radius of 15m, and the lethal radius is within 5m.
Using the m433 multi-purpose bullet, it can penetrate the 50mm steel plate in front of the warhead, and at the same time, it can form a large number of explosion fragments when it explodes.
In addition, it can also launch smoke bombs, flares, shotguns, etc.
Long Zhan carried a total of two grenade straps, one m406 high-explosive grenade and one m433 multi-purpose grenade, one on the left and one on the right, crossed on his chest.
With more than 20 big lumps hanging on the chest, coupled with Long Zhan's tall figure, he is a proper "real-life Terminator".
Full of momentum!
Long Zhan had two spears, one short and one long, in hand, and his combat effectiveness was fully maxed out. The others in grs were also fully armed and ready for a big battle.
But when they were about to get on the bus, the stationmaster who came after hearing the news blocked the car.
"We must get there immediately, Station Master."
Tyrone stared at the stationmaster with a cold face. If he hadn't been a subordinate, he would have gone up and punched him.
"We have no obligation to help the consulate, and we have no law enforcement power in this country. Your first priority is to protect the intelligence station. I will contact the Martyrs Brigade to send someone there as soon as possible on February 17."
The webmaster ignored Tyrone's cannibalistic look, and his opposition was extremely firm.
“Do you think the February 17th Martyrs Brigade is useful?”
Tyrone mercilessly exposed the webmaster's thoughts and tried to deal with the problem, insisting: "The American Ambassador is in danger, and only we can save him.
Let us go. We must do this. You don’t have to give this order, or you can pretend you didn’t see it. We will bear all the consequences ourselves. "
"Woods, calm down."
The stationmaster approached Tyrone and shouted: "The ambassador and his security personnel are in the shelter, and there will be no danger in the short term.
You are not among the frontline responders. I will never allow you to leave here unless it is absolutely necessary. You must stay here on standby.
If you dare to leave without authorization, it will be regarded as a violation of the military contract. Do you think you can afford the consequences? "
When the webmaster said these last few words, Tyrone's momentum suddenly disappeared.
Except for Long Zhan, the reason why everyone in the GRS team joined GRS after being discharged from the army was to do the job of wearing their heads in their belts.
The main reason is that after they retire as soldiers, they cannot find any decent jobs in society.
Failure to find a decent job means no income. Without income, you cannot support your family, and your entire family cannot survive.
It is precisely because of the high income from joining GRS that they say goodbye to their families and return to the battlefield.
There is no need to go to jail for breach of contract, but as a military contract is a type of commercial contract, breach of contract requires huge liquidated damages.
They did this because they had no money to live on, and Tyrone and others simply had no money to compensate.
In the United States, if you don’t have money to compensate, you will be declared bankrupt by the court, and all your property will be confiscated. If your credit is stained, no company will hire you, and even if you have sound limbs, you won’t be able to find a job.
The final result will be one, and that is being forced to become a homeless man on the street.
That is very miserable!
There are many homeless people on the streets in the United States, and most of them are personally bankrupt. It’s not that they don’t want to work, but that they simply can’t find a job.
With no one to hire and no place to live, they had to make do on the streets.
…
Tripoli.
U.S. Embassy.
Jason, who learned that the Benghazi consulate had been attacked, broke into the rescue command center with Lei and came to the person in charge, Minister Hicks.
"We have two paramilitary assets in Libya, one is a temporary consulate where the ambassador is located, and the other is only 1.5 miles away from the consulate.
There's definitely more than one attack, and another one is probably unavoidable, and you need to send us there as soon as possible so we can help them. "
Jason's eyes were fixed on Minister Hicks, with a pleading and determination.
On the one hand, the rescue ambassador is eager, but on the other hand, he has his own people in Benghazi. If he arrives late, it may lead to an irreversible tragedy.
"No, no, I don't have permission to call in air power support yet."
Minister Hicks was also anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Driving from the ground to Benghazi, the straight line difference between the two is more than 600 kilometers. In addition, the road conditions in Libya are very bad, and there is no time at all.
The US military does not have an air base in Libya, so the use of aircraft requires the cooperation of other theaters.
Hicks was just an embassy minister and had no right to mobilize the military. He could only wait for orders from Washington.
"You know the efficiency of Washington's affairs better than I do. By the time they finish the meeting, everyone will be cold."
Jason was in a hurry and couldn't care about that much. He mercilessly satirized the nature of politicians and said, "Give me a bag of money as a ticket to Benghazi, and I will take care of the rest."
Minister Hicks was familiar with Tripoli and guessed what Jason wanted the money for.
The high probability is to rent a private plane, lead the DG team to Benghazi Airport, and then coordinate the new government troops to go to the rescue.
There is a certain risk if a small team goes over first, so the best way is to send a quick reaction force over.
However, the State Council, which is directly under the embassy, is still coordinating with various military departments such as the Ministry of National Defense and cannot come up with a specific rescue plan for a while.
And time waits for no one.
Every minute of delay puts the ambassador in greater danger.
After Minister Hicks thought about it for a moment, he finally agreed to Jace's request and let the ace elite DG team rush over first.
