But what if Team B decides to rescue the hostages, but something unexpected happens during the process, and even the only mission of installing a spy device fails.
Then they can easily throw away the responsibility, and no one will bear the responsibility for the failure. The blame will eventually fall on Team B.
all in all.
Team B decides whether to save the hostage or not. If everyone is rescued, everyone will share the pie. But if something goes wrong, all the responsibility will be borne by Team B.
This kind of blame-shifting behavior is very selfish and very unfair to Team B.
Long Zhan was very aware of the twists and turns inside, and he also knew that the people in Team B were a group of "good people". He knew that there was an American hostage inside, and he would definitely find a way to rescue him when the time came. He was destined to fall into this trap.
So he simply didn't bother to talk anymore and let them mess around.
Anyway, if something really goes wrong by then, at worst, all tasks will be thrown away and we will start working immediately.
It is better to come back and receive punishment after failing the mission than to succeed in the mission, only to be burned into a small box of ashes, covered with a flag and sent home.
Long Zhan's guess was completely correct, and the next reaction of everyone in Team B was the best evidence.
"That man has been imprisoned for five years. The torture and suffering he suffered during this period are unimaginable. Do we still have to pretend that he is not here?"
As soon as Lei finished expressing his opinion, Jason immediately came out to answer and said: "Yes, since we already know, there is no reason not to save him."
Team b's b1 and b2 both expressed their intention to save people, not to mention the rest of them, such as Full Metal and Brock.
"But the place where he is being held is more troublesome. It is at the stronghold on the other side of the camp where the server is located. The two are nearly 2 minutes away. The water tanker cannot take care of both locations." Soto expressed his objection.
As an officer, Soto obviously saw it more clearly and knew that this was a trap deliberately set up by the superiors.
This American hostage has been kidnapped for 5 years, and the US government has not launched a rescue, which proves that the value of studying it is not high.
It is very likely that even if you succeed in taking a big risk, the benefits you get will be far less than the risks you take.
Team B successfully completed the task of rescuing the hostages. As a commander, the benefits he could gain were not large. If it failed, he might be implicated.
I don’t want to do something thankless.
"This guy has a very clear mind. It's rare for him to be pleasing to the eye." Long Zhan said to himself.
Long Zhan has been fighting with Soto since he got on the ship. He has always felt that Soto is an arrogant person who blindly follows orders.
But Soto's wise words just now really refreshed Long Zhan's view of him.
"We can divide our troops into two groups. Half of us will take the water truck to the engine room of the camp, and the other half will attack the stronghold and rescue the hostages."
Jason persists in his idea of rescuing the hostages and proposes a preliminary course of action.
"In broad daylight with good visibility, using a new embedded platform to launch a mission, you have to deal with 60 hostile targets, and the seven of you have to be divided into two groups. Do you think this mission is not difficult enough?" Soto retorted sarcastically.
Jason was choked by Soto's words and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ray wasn't interjecting either.
Even if the troops are divided into two groups to infiltrate, facing a camp where 60 terrorists are stationed, the risk level is indeed too high.
Neither Jie nor Lei had the confidence and courage to say that they would be able to complete the task.
Just when Jason and Ray were at their wits' end and were wondering whether to give up rescuing the hostages, Diaz suddenly revealed a key piece of information.
"Fifteen minutes ago, the drone surveillance platform discovered a situation where about half of the combatants in the camp suddenly left the camp together.
Generally speaking, once Boko Haram combat groups go out to participate in operations, it will take at least 12 to 24 hours to return. This is their operational pattern. "
As soon as Diaz said this information, Jason's dark eyes sparkled again.
He couldn't wait to say: "The number of enemies in the camp has been reduced by half. This is a great opportunity for us. It is feasible to divide the troops into two groups.
These 12 hours before they come back are our best time to act, and we must act now. "
Soto was also moved by the news. If there were really only half of the people in the camp, the remaining enemies would be scattered throughout the camp, and the defensive ability would indeed be greatly reduced.
If you can kill two birds with one stone with less risk, that would be great.
No matter how small your contribution is, it is still merit, and you should earn it if you can.
"The action permission from our superiors has not yet been issued, so we cannot take action immediately." This was Soto's last struggle.
"It's been so many days since the action was approved. It should come out soon. 12 hours is definitely enough. We can start taking action first." Jason said urgently.
"Whether we can complete the mission and rescue the hostages, this is probably the chance." Lei agreed.
Soto, who originally didn't want to split the army, had hesitated just now, but now that Lei's words came out, he was completely moved.
"Okay, then hurry up and act. We will gather on the deck and set off in 15 minutes. In order to ensure the mission to the greatest extent, I will go with you this time."
Soto's order represents action.
Jason, who was full of confidence and impatient, did not reject Soto's request to go with him. Instead, he immediately called the members of Team B to go straight to the equipment room and fully armed to start this extreme challenge.
Running hundreds of kilometers in 12 hours, completing two tasks at once.
It can be called an extreme challenge.
Long Zhan was originally not optimistic about this mission, but when he thought there were less than half of the people left in the camp, he thought it might be a good idea to give it a try, so he didn't say anything more.
15 minutes later.
The seven members of Team B, plus Commander Soto, all boarded a fully fueled Black Hawk with additional auxiliary fuel tanks and a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.
The bay where the Keating is anchored is more than 700 kilometers away from Caro, Nigeria.
Under the high-speed flight of the Black Hawk helicopter, they arrived at a secret stronghold established by the CIA outside Kano City in less than two hours.
Long Zhan and Ke Lai came over to inspect the water tanker before, and they also got off the helicopter here.
Team B and a group of eight people got off the helicopter, transferred to off-road vehicles and drove for half an hour, and successfully entered the modification factory in Kano City.
Transfer all the various materials and equipment brought to the oil tank.
Soto and Ray, who are both black, wore civilian disguises and were responsible for driving in the cab.
Everyone else hid in the oil tank at the back. Jason held a tablet in his hand that could call up drone information from the sky, as well as a hidden probe outside the oil tank.
This tablet computer is the only pair of eyes for everyone in the tanker to observe the outside.
All personnel were fully prepared. In order to complete the task as quickly as possible, they immediately rushed to the abandoned base 30 kilometers north of Kano.
