America: Starting with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 365 is finished!

The missile attack caught Assad and his Haitian soldiers completely off guard. The huge explosion from the junkyard could be heard clearly even in the core area.

Assad snapped out of his shock and immediately called his deputy colonel to inquire about the situation, but there was no response.

"Where did these missiles come from? How could they possibly have missiles?" Assad asked incredulously, pounding his fist on the table in anger.

The soldiers in the command room looked at each other, not daring to breathe.

The chief engineer, forcing a smile, stepped forward and analyzed, "General, only warships and combat ships can launch this kind of missile. According to the information transmitted by radar, the missile's range is at least two hundred kilometers away. In other words, the enemy does indeed have a combat ship at sea. We misjudged the enemy's firepower."

"You don't need to tell me that? What I want to ask is, where exactly did they get these warships from?!" Asad's face turned pale and then red, and he couldn't understand it no matter what.

"This... I don't know either..." The chief engineer frowned, unable to understand which South American country could be so extravagant as to acquire such a thing? And specifically use it to plunder and attack their Solo Island? Could it be the US military?

"General, if the enemy can launch two missiles, they will definitely launch a third and a fourth. With our firepower configuration, we simply cannot withstand this scale of firepower. I suggest we have a proper talk with them." The chief engineer had come to terms with the reality and advised Assad to compromise.

"You want me to surrender to those unknown guys? To hand over my treasure? No way!!" Assad was furious.

He immediately ordered, "Contact the soldiers at the vault right now and see how many survivors there are. I refuse to believe there aren't any alive. Those two missiles only precisely hit our equipment; they couldn't possibly have that much power!"

"clear."

Seeing that Assad was still putting up a stubborn resistance and looked like he was about to go crazy from holding out, the chief technician was also afraid that the other side might suddenly shoot him. He quickly mobilized other technicians to contact the soldiers on the front line, and soon news came back.

On the other side, the Haitian troops, though suffering heavy casualties, were not truly annihilated and still possessed the ability to fight. A captain, who had escaped the blast wave while hiding in an armored vehicle, immediately used his walkie-talkie to request reinforcements: "General, our equipment, vehicles, and helicopters have suffered heavy losses. Of our more than two hundred men, only a few dozen have survived, and I'm afraid they are no longer capable of fighting! If the enemy launches another bombing attack on us now, we simply have no way to resist!"

"Captain, what do you mean by this? Do you want me to surrender? I am a general, this island is mine, and I am not yet dead, so you should obey my orders. Now, immediately gather the remaining men and prepare for battle!" Assad angrily issued the order.

He then contacted the leaf greenhouse area and the drug processing plant, summoned the guards there, and ordered them to abandon protecting the drug assets on the island and move towards the vault area to provide support.

The Haitian soldiers who were holding their posts hesitated after receiving the news, and the captain in charge even questioned his life choices.

"The enemy launched missiles to bomb our troops, causing heavy casualties. Even a colonel was killed. And the general still wants to send us to guard the vault? This is a completely unequal military conflict. We don't even have many helicopters now, we have no air superiority, going there would only be a pointless death!"

They resisted Assad's demands from the bottom of their hearts and developed a war-weariness, but they could not directly refuse the general's orders. So the group could only dawdle and outwardly comply while inwardly resisting.

The soldiers guarding the vault, after being bombed, turned into cowardly lizards, refusing to hold their ground even after receiving orders from the general to do so.

Many of the survivors dropped their guns, and no matter how the captain tried to gather them up, they refused to die any longer.

"The enemy has already launched missiles, and our lines have been breached. What are we still doing holding out in this wretched place? Just waiting to die? If the enemy can launch the first round of bombing, they can launch the second. What countermeasures do we have? None! There's nothing we can do but wait to die here!"

"The general's money belongs to the general, not us. We only earn so little military funds each day on the island, why are we risking our lives?"

"Go ahead and hit me! I'm not going to fight!"

The soldiers started refusing to work. The captain was at a loss and had no choice but to convey the soldiers' thoughts to Assad.

"Damn it!! We've been raising you for a thousand days, only to use you for one! Now is the critical moment for Solo Island, and it's the time I need you to give your lives. And you guys have chosen to desert? Haven't I been good enough to you?" Upon receiving the news, Assad was so enraged that he nearly fainted.

Although he knew what kind of people Haitians were, that it was a poor country rotten inside and out, and that it might not be reliable to ask them to risk their lives for him in a critical moment, he did not expect them to be this unreliable!

The enemy merely used force to intimidate them, and they were so frightened that they surrendered immediately.

"Damn it! You have no faith at all! You shameful bastards! Die! Die, all of you!!" Assad was furious and cursed loudly.

Seeing this, the guards immediately stepped forward to express their loyalty, solemnly saying, "General, let those cowards try to escape. We are here now, and we will always stay by your side, defending you to the death! We will protect your safety even at the cost of our lives!"

"Loyalty!!" The other guards immediately saluted as well.

Seeing that he still had supporters around him, Assad was comforted and immediately promoted them to higher ranks, saying, "From today onwards, you are a colonel! Anyone here who survives can become a major."

"Loyalty!!" Upon hearing this, the soldiers present were even more energized, shouting loudly.

The chief engineer then unceremoniously poured cold water on the situation, saying, "General, there's some bad news. It seems the enemy has sent armed helicopters and new combat troops to land on the island."

"Armed helicopters? How did you know that?" Assad was startled and quickly questioned.

"Because it was a video sent to us by the enemy..." the chief technologist said tactfully.

Then they shared with Assad a short video sent by the hacker think tank, which was also a God's-eye view shot by a spy balloon, and it was all in 4K Blu-ray ultra-high definition quality. The picture on it was much clearer, at least incomparable to the picture quality of their cameras.

The technical supervisor couldn't really say that the people below had cut corners. They had originally ordered 4K cameras and paid the same amount, but the people below made excuses, saying that the waves on the island were too big and the magnetic field was not good, so there was no need for Blu-ray quality and that high-definition cameras were sufficient. They argued that the island was so safe, why would they need to see something so clear?

But it's no use saying all this now, because their house is about to be completely robbed.

The footage shows several speedboats and Black Hawk helicopters approaching the coastline, carrying well-equipped soldiers. Even more alarming is the sight of a massive vessel, seemingly approaching Solo Island at an extremely high speed a hundred kilometers away, appearing to be almost there.

The enemy even included a massive 4K photo as a bonus. Upon opening it, it revealed a littoral combat ship docked in port during the day.

When Assad saw the video, he couldn't help but gasp and slumped into a chair, feeling as if the sky had fallen.

"Damn it! The enemy really does have warships!"

"That looks like a US Navy littoral combat ship. How did it get here? Did the US military attack us?" The soldiers discussed among themselves.

"This is impossible..." Assad also began to doubt his own existence and fell into deep thought.

At least the US military has no excuse to cause him trouble!

The US is in such a state, with its navy spending most of its time messing around in the Asia-Pacific region and struggling in the Middle East. How could it possibly have time to come to the Caribbean? Although this is considered their backyard, where they can come and go as they please, it has absolutely no strategic value!

He knows people in the US military, otherwise how did he get all that equipment? He would definitely receive information if there were any special circumstances.

The chief technician also received a new message at this moment. After reading it, he immediately reported to Assad: "General, the enemy has sent a message demanding our immediate surrender. They say that as long as our soldiers give up resistance and hand over their weapons, they will not attack us again. Otherwise, they will continue to bombard our island's buildings and facilities with missiles, launching missiles at the leaf greenhouse area, the drug processing plant, and the command center building!"

"Damn it!! They've gone too far!!"

"They only have one littoral combat ship, how many missiles can it carry? Let them bomb it if they dare!!"

Enraged, Assad roared, "Even if I die, I will never surrender to them!!"

"Everyone!!"

"exist!!"

"Get ready for battle! Follow me and we'll fight our way out! To the vault!!"

With a command, Assad said in a deep voice, "I've already planted bombs in the vault. If they dare to continue their missile bombardment, I'll detonate the C4 explosives and fight them to the death. They won't get a single gram of gold!"

"I swear to serve the general to the death!!"

The bodyguards present immediately prepared for battle, surrounding Assad as he exited via elevator. The technicians were also taken away, otherwise they would have been shot on the spot!

ACR's hacking team also saw through surveillance footage that Assad's group came out of the attic and rode in armored vehicles to the vault area, which puzzled them.

"Assad is out. But he doesn't seem to have given up the fight? Instead, he drove straight to the vault. Does he have some backup plan? Did he plant a bomb in the vault?"

"It's just a desperate struggle. Many of his soldiers have already surrendered. Since he wants to go to the vault, there must be other reasons. But whatever the reason, we can't let him get his way. Immediately send the gunmen to attack him!"

After discussing the matter, the hacker team immediately informed the gunmen team, dispatched a group of people to intercept Assad's convoy, and also notified the naval combat ships landing on the island, so that Black Hawk helicopters could provide support ahead of time.

The two sides left the core area one after the other, and then met on the way, where they engaged in a firefight.

Black Hawk helicopters followed closely behind, providing air support.

When Assad and his personal guards encountered the gunmen's team on the way in their armored vehicles, their hearts sank. They witnessed once again the intelligence capabilities of the hacker think tank, realizing that he was being monitored at all times.

But he wasn't worried, because his personal guards had far more firepower and were far more effective in direct combat than the gunmen! They could end the battle quickly!

But when neither side could gain the upper hand after a long stalemate, he got a little impatient and wished he could just fire an RPG missile and finish off the enemy!

When he heard the sound of armed helicopters and looked up to see Black Hawks circling high in the sky, he felt a sense of despair.

It's over!!

It's an American Black Hawk.

He knew it all too well, because he had tried to buy it from the US military before, but they refused to sell it to him on the grounds that he was not qualified.

To put it bluntly, it's because he's a Black man from Haiti, a small and weak country with no riches. If he were a Black man from Africa, the Americans would definitely have sold him out! This is blatant discrimination!

The battle came quickly and ended just as quickly. It wasn't as grand or exciting as the final battle had been imagined. After a few minutes of intense fighting, the gunmen sent a report to the organization informing ACR members that they had defeated Assad's personal guard and captured Assad himself!

The technicians and Haitian black soldiers were almost all wiped out, killed by the firepower of the Black Hawk machine guns.

"Well done!!" The hacker team was overjoyed upon receiving the news.

"Assad was originally hiding in the underground command post in the attic, a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. We really didn't know how to find him. But now he's exposed himself, escaping with only a dozen or so men, leaving numerous gaps in his defenses. He was basically doomed! Now, our people have defeated him head-on! We've won!!"

"Notify everyone on the island! We have captured General Assad himself! Everyone must cease resistance immediately!!"

The hacker team immediately took action, controlling the alarms in the monitoring room and broadcasting the message throughout the island via loudspeaker.

Upon receiving the news, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and immediately abandoned their duties, waiting for the enemy to take over.

After all, international practice dictates that prisoners of war should not be killed. As prisoners of war, they should be treated well. They are all working people. They have all surrendered, so what do you still want from them?

On the contrary, the desperados and criminals were incredulous when they received the news of the general's capture.

Who would have thought that the ruler of Soro Island in the Caribbean Sea would be dealt with so easily?

Could it really have been the Americans who did it?

Everyone was filled with fear, and then chaos broke out on the island. They began burning, killing, looting, and arson, attempting to plunder some treasure from the island. Then they drove to the island's airport, preparing to escape on a private plane.

This scene was essentially the same as the eve of the fall of Jehovah's Island. With the island's owner gone, the island's security naturally descended into chaos.

The ACR organization discovered the desperados' actions immediately and dispatched a team of gunmen to suppress and stop them, issuing the order accordingly.

"Whenever we encounter any wanted fugitives or desperados committing crimes, we should shoot them dead! We should also control and protect the underage children and women who have been abducted to the island. We need to conduct interviews with them afterward and film some videos so that Assad's crimes can be exposed to the public!"

"clear!"

The gunmen team immediately began their operation after receiving orders to hunt down the restless outlaws.
