Chapter 77 The Loyal Boss Lu
Dorian, this Italian 'Leather Headgear', was dead set on working for Joe Ga, which left him a bit bemused.
But the guy was indeed skilled, and although 'Leather Headgear' wasn't particularly formidable on a global scale, they were definitely the most combat-capable unit among the Italian Troops.
Moreover, the 'credentials' Dorian was prepared to submit were indeed significant, so Joe Ga agreed without hesitation. Discover hidden content at m,v l'e-NovelFire
After Dorian disclosed the number of personnel, equipment, and positions of the 'Sea Hound Mercenary Group', Joe Ga took notes and handed them to Antar for verification. Then he pulled Lu Jun, who had been following him, aside and honestly conveyed the enemies and problems faced by the mining community.
Watching Lu Jun fall silent, Joe Ga shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't expect that I would be a reason for the trouble for our client; it was never my intention to cause them any inconvenience. But now that it has happened, I will take responsibility and resolve the issue."
Lu Jun was taken aback, and then with an ugly expression, he said, "Brother Wolf, they are attacking me; would I blame you for coming to my rescue? If I did, would I even be human?"
Seeing Lu Jun's flushed face, Joe Ga felt a bit better.
He had been so explicit to Lu Jun because he wanted to see the man's reaction, and then decide how to proceed with the attack.
If Lu Jun showed the slightest hesitation, Joe Ga would decisively launch a fierce assault, crippling the 'Sea Hound' and then withdrawing. Whatever happened here afterward would no longer be his concern.
But now, with Lu Jun showing such loyalty, Joe Ga knew he couldn't be too hasty with his actions.
With Dorian as the inside man, the situation was actually very clear now.
The 'Sea Hound Mercenary Group' had 6 people left, Dorian had another 15, whose roles were to control the mortar positions and assist the Sea Hound in launching a raid on any approaching helicopter, and then break through the mining community in one fell swoop, forcing the people inside to seek help from outside.
In the end, striking the so-called 'China arms dealer' was just something done in passing, not the main strategic goal of the opponents at all.
The fury of the Sea Hound and the Mori Family was just a catalyst; even they themselves were merely pawns!
Lu Jun, whether he was clear-headed or truly loyal, spoke very well, not giving Joe Ga any reason to complain.
Having received a quite satisfactory response, Joe Ga stretched out his hand and gave Lu Jun a firm handshake, smiling as he said, "Boss Lu is a man of his word, so I can't let you down."
As he said this, Joe Ga glanced at Antar, who nodded to indicate that Dorian's information was accurate. He nodded towards Lu Jun and his bodyguard and said, "Leave those mercenaries to us; you just deal with the Cardin people."
Lu Jun was stunned for a moment and shook his head to refuse, "That won't do. There's only four of you; how can that be enough? Why not wait for my security support team to arrive before attacking?
Worst case scenario, the helicopter doesn't land in the warehouse area; there's plenty of space by the main gate."
Joe Ga shook his head and said, "They have the high ground, and the range of the 120 mm mortars is quite far. If you land too close, you'll still get bombed; if you land too far, they'll know their target has been exposed.
But now we have the advantage. As long as we find the right opportunity, we can cripple them in one fell swoop.
This isn't simply about having more men. We have eyes in the sky and sniper support. We may not be able to annihilate them entirely, but there's confidence in crippling them and relieving the mine."
After listening, Lu Jun shook his head and said, "That won't do. We agreed to just be on guard against a sniper, but now you want to go into battle and risk your lives; I can't agree to this. If word gets out, I, Lu Jun, wouldn't be able to face anyone."
"It was my decision alongside the security team not to drag the blue helmets into this, and it has nothing to do with you. I can't bear to see you take risks,"
Joe Ga looked at Lu Jun's sincere expression, patted his arm with a touch of emotion, and said, "Lu, you're a man of honor. Someone like you deserves to be wealthy.
But I stand by what I said earlier: if this matter involves me, then I can't sit back and watch others suffer because of me.
I make my own decisions about my affairs. If you truly want to help, then take everyone to the front and drive away those Kartan people while also distracting those mercenaries."
After much persuasion, Joe Ga sent Lu Jun away, then moved to an empty room and gathered everyone together.
Glancing at Antar, who was calmly charging the drone, Joe Ga smiled and said, "Owl, you've been a huge help this time. I hope you don't think that working with me is too dangerous. I'm starting to worry you no longer like your job."
Antar paused, then with a smile said, "No, this is the job I've always dreamed of. I like the atmosphere; it makes me feel useful."
Joe Ga nodded in response, then turned to Karman and said, "I want to kill everyone on that hill, do you have any objections?"
Karman fiddled with his radio for a moment, then pointing at Antar's drone he said, "We have eyes in the sky. All we have to do is find their location and sneak up on them to take them out.
RPGs and mortars aren't very effective against these buildings, and with their snipers gone, Devil Bird and Owl covering us here, the two of us could wipe them out."
Joe Ga was never fully accustomed to Karman's blunt approach, but he had to admit that the man made a lot of sense. The only thing he neglected was his own boss's limited real combat experience.
Joe Ga's shooting skills had left such a strong impression on Karman that he subconsciously overlooked the fact that his boss's practical experience was just a bit better than that of a rookie.
However, with such a strategic advantage on their side, Joe Ga couldn't afford to dampen spirits with any negative talk. He just hoped Karman, the old soldier, could come up with a solid plan of action. But who would have thought Karman would be so straightforward and crude?
It was Antar who proved her worth at this moment by producing a hand-drawn map of the hill's terrain. Pointing at two spots marked in red, she said, "The enemy is waiting on the other side of the hill now. The moment a helicopter carrying reinforcements gets close to the airspace, the mercenaries will definitely head to one of these two points.
Once the mortars on the other side of the hill bombard the landing helicopter, they will strike amidst the chaos.
It's not a good idea for two people to assault the enemy's gathering spot. I think you can choose one of these two points to set up an ambush."
At first, Joe Ga didn't quite understand, but after taking a look through the binoculars, he got what Antar was saying.
When the helicopter approaches, the enemy will theoretically get ready to attack.
The curved trajectory of the mortar fire will stay behind the hill near the top, but the mercenaries should move to a position that allows them to strike quickly; otherwise, if they're not there after the bombing, they'll miss the best window for attack.
Moreover, the two spots marked by Antar were both advantageous in terms of location and angle; setting up machine guns and RPGs there could cover the whole area, so the enemy surely wouldn't give up such good positions.
For Joe Ga now, the best choice was to pick a spot for an ambush and gamble on the Sea Hound's choice of position.
But at that moment, Joe Ga had some other ideas…
