Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

It's much better than those guys who always say sweet things when they encounter a little trouble.

If he met such a person somewhere else, Lingyin was sure that his head would face some serious challenges.

On the other side, the EOD experts assigned by the Navy held small scissors and syringes, and their movements were gentle and delicate, focusing on taking their time to do a good job.

Because of this explosive device, all members of Team E and the humanoid team were trapped in place for several minutes.

She then thought that there were 21 hostages in total and evacuating them would be a difficult task.

This is the mission briefing. The rescue team is required to occupy the buildings around the embassy to create time for the rapid response force to arrive.

The core rescue is just the most critical yet least important link.

It's very interesting just looking at it from here. The total resources invested are no less than those of the Spear of Poseidon back then.

Although it has not yet started, it can be seen that the command level of this rescue operation is extremely high.

JSOC is in direct command, with support provided by the Central Theater Command.

The USS Eisenhower, which was originally scheduled to return to the Kaiser Shipyard, changed course and returned to the Gulf of Aden. The entire aircraft carrier strike group and several naval and air units were already in place.

The intelligence is directly provided by the CIA. The NSA computer geeks who sit in the office all day almost regard Yemen’s online network as their own home, and the wireless communication system is completely exposed to them.

Judging from the troops and command levels alone, it was a joint sea and land battle.

That night, Lingyin was made to stand in the corner the entire time as punishment.

She originally thought it was boring, but when she saw that the three unlucky guys, Luhui, Fei Niao and Raphael, didn't get any kills at all and were just wandering around with the others on the picnic, she felt that standing in the corner as a punishment seemed not so bad.

Sure enough, happiness comes from comparison.

"Grass team."

Raphael followed the crowd out, exhaling slowly.

"Everywhere there is a makeshift team," she emphasized.

It seems like the whole world is like this.

The car looks bright and shiny from the outside, but when you actually sit in it, you will find that its power comes from your legs, not a powerful fuel engine.

Hearing Raphael's emphasis, Lingyin couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. It turned out that Raphael also had times when he was frustrated.

Later on, joint exercises became much more practical, changing from being superficial at the beginning to being pragmatic.

Over the next week, the Army Corps of Engineers began to pick up pace.

Suzune witnessed the rise of a small town, even though the town had no residents at all.

If anyone looked down at the town from above, he would be surprised to find that it was almost a complete replica of the two streets around the embassy.

Now more people are involved in the joint exercises, and each one lasts longer.

In the end, even the Italians got involved, but they were just extras, simulating the movements of the Yemeni rebels based on intelligence provided by the CIA.

Although dozens of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft circled over Sanaa day and night, they failed to provide more substantial help to the rescue progress.

As time went by, the mission was originally planned to be carried out when the joint exercises were ready, but it was delayed again and again.

There were different excuses every day.

"The Rangers aren't here yet."

"We have to have the Green Berets enter the area first, and then the Rangers will follow their guidance and sneak through the rebel patrol lines."

Every general who could get his hands on one seemed to want a piece of the action, and every branch of the military had troops joining in.

They believed that this would be another "Spear of Poseidon".

April 4st, April Fool’s Day.

The order came to everyone's surprise. The first to set off was not someone else, but the vase team that many people thought was ahead of them.

Some people questioned Belloc's decision, saying he was taking human life lightly.

The SEAL detachment that had been cooperating with the humanoid team for some time did not say anything, but they had almost the same idea.

Lingyin was sure that if the humanoid team did not perform to their satisfaction in this mission, they would definitely be criticized if they worked together in the future.

What she didn't understand was that Raphael, who should have been anxious, seemed paralyzed at this moment, and was like a transparent person most of the time.

At most, he had some conversations with the captain from Delta, but they didn't seem to be that familiar with each other.

It's so weird and incomprehensible!

……

"You all think you know a lot," Sergeant Major Christensen Reed lowered his voice and whispered in a voice that sounded a little strange, "But..."

He snickered and suddenly asked, "It seems that the CIA intends to send you in as an advance team to do some dirty work."

Raphael gave him an unhappy look.

"You make it sound like you can only do dirty work."

"Generally speaking, the use of disguised means is all due to special needs, especially when the party proposing it is the CIA."

"Team D doesn't need it?" Raphael asked back.

"Of course, our essence is an independently operated counter-terrorism organization that reports directly to the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon.

Although over the years, Army bureaucrats have managed to add agencies such as SOCOM and JSOC in an attempt to cut off this uncontrolled connection that overrides other units.

Force Team D to go from reporting to the JCS to reporting to JSOC, then to SOCOM, and then to the JCS.

In fact, those connections still exist today. And the delta remains independent.”

"So you don't need anything, just your own..."

“Yes, it was not created for long-term combat, but it was established as an independent agency.

Like the DG next door, it is just a battalion-level unit, and its original purpose was to conduct water-based counter-terrorism activities - these were all written in the charter when it was first established, but they have never been a separate organization.

Because we already have a main hostage rescue team.

This was the original charter and writing process, so SEAL Team Six could not deploy without JSOC command.

But Delta can. Therefore, Delta can complete its deployment without the help of others.

Do you remember the training at that time? We had all kinds of people there. As long as you were interested in a certain aspect, you could find the corresponding guidance.

The SEALs must rely on reinforcements sent by JSOC, but JSOC just sends out orders and recruits people randomly.

So at this point, as long as the unit status of Team 6 is not expanded and transformed from a battalion-level unit to an independently operated regimental-level unit, they will never be equal to Delta."

"Wait, since the job definition of Team Six is ​​water-based counter-terrorism activities, why do they always come to steal your work?"

“That’s the key point I’m going to make next.”

Christensen was not shy about talking to Rafael because the two had known each other for a long time.

During Operation Softball, Rafael followed Christensen in combat and training.

There were some things she might not have noticed, so Christensen didn't mind letting a few more secrets slip out of her mouth.

After all, I am a graduate of Team D, and I cannot embarrass myself in terms of "cultural heritage".

"There are two reasons. The first is that there is a shortage of manpower. Team D is short of manpower, and DG is also short of manpower. Everyone is understaffed all year round.

Think about it, how many units can Team D have to go on a mission? How big is the world?

With the current command structure heavily relying on special operations forces, it is simply impossible to accomplish the task with just Team D and a few Green Berets units.

Even if we include the Navy's special operations units, it is still not enough. Everyone faces the problem of over-service and over-deployment.

If we rely on Team D alone, I believe we will all be exhausted. "

"What's the other reason?" Raphael became interested. She knew this would be a key factor, especially related to the strong independence of the Delta.

"It's simple. The CIA is doing something."

"how to explain?"

“I don’t care who it is, Bin Laden, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, I don’t care who it is.

If you have intelligence, for whatever reason, as long as you don't tell me the whole story, Team D will reject you outright."

"That's interesting, I've never heard of such a thing."

"Think about it, for every target, we need intelligence and the whole story, but you only gave me this person's address?"

"Yes, it seems suspicious."

"Any normal person would think there's something wrong here. They don't explain the situation, they just ask to be killed or arrested."

"I think I understand." Raphael said, "In this case, the CIA will choose Team Six.

Just tell the generals in JSOC who want a piece of the action, and they will happily cooperate, and they will do their job with just one order."

"In any case, be careful with the CIA, especially when they decide to tell you the target without telling you the details," Christensen warned.

Raphael was silent for a moment, then replied, "I understand."

"Okay, the plane to pick you up is here, keep in touch and stay safe."

"I know. I pay more attention to safety than anyone else." Raphael replied with a smile. For an intelligent individual like her, it is not possible to ignore it.

Chapter 146: Unfortunately

It was dusk when we landed at a gravel airport built on a flat wasteland.

The four engines of the C-17 Globemaster transport plane continued to run, and the wind and waves blowing behind it rolled up yellow sand all over the sky.

Even in this desolate wilderness, amid the heavy roar of aircraft engines, one can still faintly hear the sound of gunfire coming from nowhere.

Even after the plane took off, the sound of gunfire continued, like an epileptic seizure.

It is not known whether it is a confrontation between the Yemeni military and the rebels, or a conflict between tribal armed forces.

The soldiers patrolling not far away looked very happy. They were rubbing their hands, eager to show their power.

Raphael held the gun in his right hand from the middle of the handguard, and his left shoulder was slightly raised with a bulging sand-colored travel bag hanging on it. From a distance, he looked no different from a hunting enthusiast.

That very night, Raphael was called to the operations center.

The plainclothes intelligence agent in charge said: "The situation is urgent. You need to cooperate with the Yemeni military." He said: "Their army is trying to reduce the rebels' space for activities. You need to assist the Yemeni military."

"Do you need to bring equipment?" Lingyin asked.

"Of course. With your operational equipment, you may have to cooperate with them."

“The question is what to cooperate on?”

"We need to use all our resources. Do you understand, Captain?"

Raphael nodded and refused to say anything that would be questioned.

As soon as the operation began, Raphael received a notice from the Yemeni military: only two people were allowed to participate.

Although Raphael had more experience, what they actually wanted was an intelligence officer and communications technician, so the candidates naturally became Asuka and Green.

For the next three days, they stayed in a small command center located in a U-shaped underground concrete building.

The main task is to observe the information provided by drones hovering over the mission area designated by the Yemeni military and monitor various radio wave-based communications.

Lu Hui was troubled by the intercepted contact because it was so conflicting and she didn't know whether to believe what they said.

The content of each communication is inaccurate or contradicts what was mentioned previously, and each party sticks to their own story.

Lu Hui had to rack her brains to figure out a clue. The CIA intelligence officer played no role in this, but instead made her look like a politician who was playing the art of balancing.

She tried every possible means to avoid offending her "new" boss while keeping the real boss happy.

She carefully maintained the balance between the two sides for a few days, but the Yemeni military's operation ended in failure.

The rebels were very flexible in their movements. Relying on their familiarity with the battlefield environment, they constantly dispersed and regrouped, causing the Yemeni military a lot of headaches.

Luhui found that her time and energy in the past few days had been wasted.

Things were going smoothly on Raphael's side. The Air Force bombers took the lead in launching a fierce bombing, preparing for the special forces to enter the area.

The Green Berets worked very hard. On the day they arrived, they changed into the uniforms and insignia of the Yemeni army and moved around the outskirts of Sanaa with the Rangers.

For this reason, Raphael had to contact Asuka and Luhui from time to time to make sure that the pace of both sides was at the same frequency.
