Your hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan.
Giandro, who was checking two laptops and several screens in the room, wiped his face dry as if washing his face.
It’s already been several times.
By the time the sniping started, I had frowned or let out a sigh, but now I couldn’t make a sound.
Unable to cover his face with both hands, he even tore his hair.
It was because more than half of the body cam scene video displayed on the laptop screen had already been stopped.
It wasn’t because of a signal failure.
All of them died, so they fell face down or lay down, so the screen was only taking pictures of the dark ground or the sky with wind and rain.
virtually stopped.
Soon, a moan mixed with a sigh flowed from Giandro’s mouth.
“Huh… … .”
Even watching it, I still couldn’t believe it.
They thought that an ultra-long-range sniper ambush and mortar shelling would be a possibility, but even that was blocked by Kang-tae.
No, it was prevented in advance.
Of course, the location would have been helped by the US military, but the important thing was that Kang Tae-man moved alone during the suppression process.
Of course, I hadn’t witnessed it myself, but there was no other possibility.
If there had been a strike force nearby, they would have raided and arrested or killed all of them.
There was also the testimony of a dying mortarman.
One person at the firing point.
If that was enough to be exposed to observers, he would have taken a proper shooting posture.
No matter how I looked at it, there was only Kang Tae.
Of course, there were quite a few people who could do crazy things in the US tier 1 special forces, but in a war situation, that was strictly limited.
In particular, they would not act recklessly in front of mortars located 2.5km away.
I knew Giandro well because he was from the Italian special forces.
Soldiers performing special warfare, even if one screw is usually missing, were trained like machines in combat situations.
‘then… … .’
Giandro predicted what would happen.
On the screen, mercenaries were calling out their last names and swearing, but they didn’t care at all.
What matters is the present and the future.
‘There’s a good chance it’s slipping away from the mortar and the opposite point. The US military will also move to support the expulsion, and since the mortars have been exposed, the operation will be completely changed.’

Let the wrinkles around your mouth deepen for a while.
A conclusion came quickly.
‘Operation canceled. And I’m going to leave everyone… … .’
This means that the plan to kill Kang-tae will be completely ruined.
However, it wasn’t completely over.
The operation was not over, and the surviving mercenaries were also on the move in the laptop screen.
It was to chase after riding on the four-wheel drive ATV used to move the equipment.
Giandro’s eyes grew stronger as he watched this.
It was because it was a plan that had never been established beforehand and had never been discussed.
Simply put, arbitrary behavior.
This did not go well with mercenaries who had endured for years on the black market.
Of course I couldn’t do it either.
But Giandro only looked at the screen.
I was able to control the mercenaries by betting the remaining balance, but I left it as it is.
Because I understood.
It was because even he who was in charge of the operation and who grasped the situation by looking at the body cam was not convinced.
Emotions were swirling.
Of course, normal people would be afraid or frightened, but the mercenaries on the screen were not of that kind.
Not only did they survive on this floor for a long time, but they also made a name for themselves.
It is said that there is a certain skill and temperament.
Also, there was no reason to order them to stop.
It was because he had already paid for the mercenaries’ lives, and this operation couldn’t have ended like this.
I had to do something.
I left it to that judgment, but I didn’t see the probability of success as high.
It was more likely to fail.
Even the preparations in advance failed, so I had to see that the end of that chase would end in genocide.
On a rainy day, hitting a target 2.5 km away was a strong act.
It was clear that they would all die.
Engine noise as they run will expose their position, and they will be hit while stopping and preparing to fire.
It was clear that if he pursued them at close range and even fired a gun at them, he would be hit with concentrated fire and die.
The conclusion was simple.
failure.
At the end, Giandro’s expression changed.
‘I have to do something, anything… … .’
We couldn’t blow away the opportunity created by giving money to North Korea like this.
Giandro recovered his shocked mind.
It was because everything he had prepared had failed, but there was still something left.
A nuclear research institute.
Since he was not a key development person, we had to really bring him in, who had been chosen as the superficial target for the operation.
If you don’t even do that, the entire operation will come to an end.
Fortunately, there was an opportunity.
Right now the US forces are retreating.
After disembarking from the sea in a chaotic gap, I had to move on a motor boat.
The destination is the other side of the existing operational area, the Taril Islands.
It was the direction a cargo ship from China was coming.
It was originally intended to approach the Chinese cargo ship first.
Because I couldn’t wait for them to come.
Once they left the South China Sea, the route changed completely and they could not change cargo ships.
The only possible location was the vicinity of the South China Sea.
So I had to push myself a bit.
Or maybe it’s because it looks like it’s going to die.
Of course, even in this situation, there was no possibility that the enemy would pursue it, but it would not be so tenacious.
They’ll probably just send a drone.
It was clear that nothing could be done. The fact of the ambush was exposed, and I almost got shelled.
Kang-tae and the U.S. forces were to leave as scheduled.
That was the result of a common sense operation, and it was clear that he would continue to get out.
In conclusion, it was not difficult to secure nuclear development researchers.
With determination, Giandro took out his prepaid phone and dialed the number.
Then he recited the encryption code and gave instructions right away.
“Rewrap your presents as soon as you wake up.”
It was a phony communication commanding the researcher to transfer to a freighter immediately.
The answer came quickly.
– All right.
* * *
South China Sea, Tarill Islands.
– Echo 10, this is a killer whale. What is the current situation?
The voice of the field commander came over the radio, so I reflexively checked my back and replied.
“This is Echo 10, invisible to the naked eye.”
– Good reception. If it is confirmed, it is recommended to report it after taking preemptive measures with arbitrary judgment. Are there any additional special requests or requests?
“I want to speed up the march.”
– I’ll make it a little higher.
While listening to the commander’s answer, I looked behind me again.
Because it was located at the very end, it was not something I watched repeatedly to be vigilant.
It was because new information came from the drone operation team.
The movement of mortar troops.
It was also said that he started riding on a four-wheel drive ATV, aka bowl.
Minimum of 7 people.
The rest fled to the other side, but what mattered was the ones approaching.
It is said that the drone is tracking, but it was blocked by trees in the middle, so it was not able to follow all the routes.
So every time the radio came, a little bit of information was missing.
For example, the number of ATVs identified, the armament and behavior of the crew members, etc.
It was to inform only the confirmed ones among the dogs.
It’s the same now.
Chijik.
Behind the radio sound, the voice of the drone operation team spread.
– Disembarking the target after stopping the cargo ship!
“… … ?!”
Eyes wide open.
I thought it would be news about ATVs on the move, but it was because the words I had put off to one side came in.
Cargo ship and target, disembarkation.
It was the reason why I came to the island and waited all night, and it was also the cause.
To be precise, the killing and arrest of a North Korean nuclear development researcher.
If possible, he had to be caught, but if it was difficult, he had to be killed by any means.
Even when the situation was difficult, I had to try.
I couldn’t send it safely.
It wasn’t simply because it was a mission or a given goal, so I wasn’t obsessed with it.
It was because if the researcher went safely, it was clear that Pikal’s nuclear war would speed up.
In that case, the hard work and hard work was not worth it.
you will die in the end
As much as I had to delay it even a little bit, I had to catch that North Korean researcher.
I went on the radio, controlling my rising emotions.
“Distance, location, and detailed status are desired.”
– Wait a while.
After the response from the drone operation team, the field commander was immediately called.
“… I have a request. Is it possible to assist in removing the existing target?”
– … wait a while.
After hesitating and the same answer as the drone operation team came over.
After a while, the desired information came.
It was specific news about the target that had to be killed.
– It is located 4km northeast of our location and is disembarking by motor boat. Probable destination appears to be a freighter from China located north-northeast.
At that, I quickly radioed the commander.
“Echo 10, pause. I will check the target.”
At about the same time, I raised my sniper rifle and checked the spot the drone operation team told me.
4km northeast.
While I was looking at it, curses rose and went down to the tip of my neck.
It was because I felt it when I saw it.
The fact that sniping is impossible because it is too far away.
Of course I didn’t know.
The results of direct confirmation through the lens of the scope really touched me.
The limits were already well known.
It was because I had shot enough to change the parts of the MK.20 several times.
The 2.5 km I shot today was my limit.
It was very difficult to even increase 1-2M there.
In the first place, from the limit of 2.5 km that I personally set, I went far beyond the effective range of the gun.
The proper effective range in the gun manual was only 1,000M.
In conclusion, there was nothing I could do here.
If I had been able to solve it on my own line, I would have aimed and fired right away, but it was difficult to check targets outside 4km even with a super-high magnification scope.
Only the cargo ship is barely visible.
The conclusion was one.
You have to follow and kill them until they come within range.
With determination, I quickly radioed.
“Killer whale, this is Echo 10. Please answer if it is possible to track the target separately during the exit process, or if there is a plan to remove it.”
And while waiting for an answer, it was time to check the rear again.
An unexpected word came.
– Echo 10, this is the library.
“… … ?”
I paused for a moment.
It was because the study was a communication language that I had never spoken or heard during today’s operation.
Of course I didn’t know.
It was because I checked all communication connotations before being put in.
So I quickly realized what it was.
It was a command post.
United States Joint Special Operations Command, North Carolina, U.S. mainland, not a field commander.
The study was a dirty word that I didn’t need to say, so I didn’t say it.
And now, I was directly connected to that place.
I didn’t have to think deeply about why.
There were good reasons for that, and the important thing now was that the target was disembarking.
– Echo 10, separate the Echo Team from now on, and the Field Ops team will assist the Echo Team. Will Echo 1 do it as usual, or Echo 10?
“… … .”
Even though I was wary of my back, I stopped.
It was because it sounded like a devgru squadron supporting us and us being the main ones.
They were even asking me if I would take the position of Jake’s team leader.
It was quite strange, but I hadn’t thought about it.
It was because I was only overcoming bad conditions with my own characteristics, and my field judgment was not as good as Jake’s.
Of course, it was impossible to replace a veteran of Delta Force who had gone through all the battles, even though he knew all the details and maps of the operation.
In terms of experience, I was just a newbie, and he was as good as I was.
Even now, he was quiet because he was hidden from me, but he was a person who would show his monstrous skills when a situation arises.
To the point where he ate up the active Devgrew team and left over.
I responded quickly before it was too late.
“Let’s do that as usual, and let’s get the target first.”
