Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 806 Pressure
Mountain Eagle had no idea what was happening in Libya...

What he could confirm was that if the VX drug bomb was in the hands of al-Qaeda, then the Death Angel, a key figure in Isis, would not have provided al-Qaeda with such a deadly weapon for free.

Sofia the Great White Shark said that the discovery of uranium residue at the site in Tobruk, Libya, made the Eagle instantly realize the Death Angel's purpose.

VX poison gas bombs are indeed terrifying, but if used in open areas, and given the issues of dosage and detonation technology, terrorists using this chemical weapon can only create terrorist attacks. Aside from garnering hatred, it is not lethal to a country.

The world’s largest chemical weapons attack since the end of the Cold War was launched against the Kurds in 1988 by Saddam Hussein of Iraq, with the support of the United States.

At the time, nearly 12,000 Kurds were killed or wounded, and the incident was recognized by the United Nations as an act of genocide.

Later, the US accused Iraq of possessing chemical weapons, obviously to maintain the dollar's hegemony, but the existence of chemical weapons was not unfounded.

Because Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons were developed and possessed with the support of the United States, and the attacks on the Kurds were also carried out with the technical support of the United States. It is even possible that some of those chemical weapons were provided by the United States before 1988.

Another serious incident was the Tokyo subway attack, in which members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult released sarin gas in a subway station, resulting in 13 deaths and 6300 injuries.

These two most serious chemical weapons attacks fully reflect the fact that unless chemical weapons are used extensively on the battlefield, it is virtually impossible to paralyze a country with them.

This stuff is vicious and has serious consequences, but aside from demonstrating the user's madness, the small amount of VX drugs lost by the United States does not pose a strategic threat.

At worst, it will explode in a densely populated area, resulting in dozens or hundreds of deaths and injuries.

Frankly, this kind of thing doesn't do much good for terrorist organizations, except to thoroughly enrage the country where the explosion occurred.

The dirty bomb is a different story...

Regardless of the explosive power of this thing, if it is detonated at a high place, the scattered radioactive dust will cover a large area, and it will be extremely difficult to clean up.

This kind of thing isn't designed to kill civilians; it's designed to paralyze a city and destroy its economy.

Imagine what would happen to those houses that might have cost $10 or $20 per square meter after a dirty bomb explosion, once they were contaminated with radioactive material.
What will a city become when real estate becomes worthless, when a city comes to a standstill due to radioactive issues, when hospitals are overwhelmed, and when public order begins to collapse?
This is a true strategic weapon. Only by binding a city can an extreme terrorist group like ISIS have leverage to negotiate with the United States.

ISIS has cornered the United States in the border region between Iraq and Syria, forcing them to begin funding the Kurds and to portray ISIS as an enemy of humanity.

The Angel of Death is a key figure in Isis's quest to secure his position, and he must first overcome the hurdle of America.

A few dirty bombs sent into the United States would be the best bargaining chip!
This guy was incredibly cunning. He used his position to keep Kobe's refugee group's attention in Canada, while covering for bomb expert Basavich to manufacture two deadly weapons in Libya and exchange VX poison gas bombs for an even more terrifying dirty bomb with al-Qaeda.

When Al-Qaeda was preparing to use chemical weapons to attack Europe, the Angel of Death only leaked a little information to William Hurt, which forced the refugee group to go to Europe to investigate, while he himself disappeared without a trace. At the same time, the dirty bombs that should have received more attention also disappeared.

Kobe, a member of the refugee group, was extremely frustrated because he was certain the Angel of Death was in Canada…

As a result, William Hurt ordered him to go to Europe and asked him to take in the terrorist named Madeline and then fabricate a report to pin the chemical weapons' origin on Libya.

Ultimately, if Kobe's report is accepted, the case of the missing VX drug precursors will still exist, but it will become a bomb that will never explode.

Having weathered the complex power struggles of Alaska, Kobe is no longer as rigidly principled as he used to be...

He knew he couldn't fight against the authorities, so he chose to obey orders in order to preserve the refugee group and give himself the chance to continue tracking the Angel of Death.

However, what he didn't expect was that when he wrote the fake report and submitted his pledge, the refugee group's authority not only didn't decrease, but actually increased!

This is the dirtier part of politics!
Instead of comforting Kobe, the mountain eagle urged him to keep chasing the game no matter what...

He had a premonition that the Angel of Death would not let him go, and that their entanglement would not end there.

When this guy has dirty bombs in his hands and starts threatening America, a single word he utters could land Mountain Eagle in deep trouble. Most importantly, Arctic Fox is currently in Syria, and if ISIS launches an attack, they could very well become a primary target.

And once the Arctic fox is attacked, he can't just stand by and do nothing!

"Don't rush, keep your own pace!"

Mountain Eagle sat quietly in his study for several hours, repeatedly reminding himself not to let unexpected events disrupt his rhythm.

But he just couldn't calm his mind completely!
When Dalia came to the study to invite Mountain Eagle downstairs for dinner, she was startled to see him sitting in the shadows...

Dalia, who had been negotiating the Mexico issue with Kate for the past two days, was unaware of what had happened. She cautiously approached her boss and whispered, "Boss..."

The mountain eagle's body trembled slightly, and its dilated pupils contracted...

Seeing Dalia cautiously approaching, Mountain Eagle took a breath, smiled slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Dalia didn't know why, but seeing her boss's smile made her even more nervous...

Although the boss was smiling, Dalia sensed a strong sense of aggression.

Faced with this unprecedented situation, Dalia placed her right hand on her wildly beating chest, leaned slightly forward, and said, "Boss, dinner is ready..."

Kate and I have almost reached an agreement, but there are still some details that I need you to confirm.

Mountain Eagle hadn't fully recovered from his thoughts. He paused for a few seconds, then said, "Kate agreed?"

Dalia sensed that her boss's aggression had lessened, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief, saying, "Kate has agreed to our plan, but she still has some reservations about the Cancun vault."

"You might need to convince her about this..."

Mountain Eagle struggled to bring his thoughts back to the present. Looking at Dalia's expectant face, he shook his head and said, "Go tell him, one month. I'm only giving her one month to prepare..."

Thiago will 'escape' in a month, and the operation in Mexico will begin at that time.

If she's not willing to participate, then I'll do it myself...

Tell her to get out of my way!

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle stood up and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Inform General Sid that he has a month to prepare and to get Thiago's physical condition up as much as possible."

Dalia, I'm going north to spend some peaceful time with my wife and kids...

Blood Fox is gone; you're in charge of managing the camp now.

'Sled' and forensic doctor Anton went to El Salvador to coordinate the transfer of the floating prison. They need to stay in touch with them, get all the prisoners out as soon as possible, and then move the laboratory up there as well.

I don't want this place to still be a mess when my wife and kids come back!

You only have one month!

Dalia felt the pressure from the mountain eagle. She straightened up and said solemnly, "Understood, boss!"

"One month! I guarantee that within a month, the brown bear camp will be completely quiet!"
