Chapter 210: Sold!
The Second Middle East Oil Resource Alliance Economic Circle Expansion Meeting was held secretly in the second-largest city of Iskostan.
This city was also the capital of Iskostan's largest oil-producing province.
As the intense meetings continued, participants from various countries began to discuss issues such as unifying oil prices.
If the agreement could be successfully signed, it would integrate the entire Middle East's oil resources, increase their voice in the international oil market, and avoid the exploitation by the world's two poles in the oil market.
But reality was clearly not going to be that smooth. The Middle East had always been a powder keg, and the grievances between various countries and ethnic groups could be adapted into the most melodramatic history of blood and tears.
At the beginning, when everyone was looking toward the future, it was of course "you're good, I'm good, everyone's good." But once they entered the specific distribution of benefits, all sorts of trivial past grievances were dragged out as bargaining chips.
Fortunately, the representatives of the various countries were still somewhat rational, or perhaps this Middle East oil integration plan was attractive enough that no representative had yet slammed the table and threatened to quit.
"Everything is going smoothly. Although it seems it will take some time, the chances of success seem quite high."
Wang Liumei looked at the noisy venue and gave an evaluation in her heart.
Just as she was watching coldly with a smile, the representative from Zautstan came over to find fault.
There had long been grievances between Ankra-stan and Zautstan. The oil field that was currently producing "black gold" in a steady stream had originally received a large investment of manpower and material resources from Zautstan as well.
The Zautstan representative inevitably wanted to try to use their tongue to win some benefits, but Wang Liumei was no pushover and directly retorted.
Although she didn't have the momentum to turn red in the face and slam the table, her sharp words and calm thinking were her best weapons.
The Middle East oil integration plan meeting was still ongoing, while Mithril had begun to execute a secret plan.
Middle East, within the territory of Taertasitan, at an Amalgam stronghold.
This stronghold was the largest underground drug distribution center in the Middle East and was close to Taertasitan's largest port city, which was also one of the largest port cities in the Middle East, Kupa City. All drugs coming from Southeast Asia would flow through the port of Kupa City to this stronghold, and then be continuously transported to the underground markets of the Middle East.
The owner of the stronghold was an executive of the Amalgam organization. According to the intelligence Li Boyong had gathered, the other party had the support of an Executive Officer behind them.
Li Boyong, who did not want to go to war with an Executive Officer for the time being, but also wanted to completely clear out all Amalgam forces in the Middle East region other than himself, gave the intelligence about this stronghold and this executive to Tessa, letting her clear out the stronghold.
Yes, the exchange condition Li Boyong reached with Mithril was actually to have Mithril destroy a branch of Amalgam.
When Tessa heard this condition, she almost doubted if she had heard it wrong.
Was there such a cheap deal in this world?
Not only could she get back the nuclear weapon, but she could also get intelligence on a stronghold of the mysterious organization behind Li Boyong. If operated properly, she could completely find enough intelligence about that mysterious organization from the destroyed stronghold.
Tessa had not failed to suspect that this was a trap, but after analyzing intelligence from various aspects, she made the judgment that it was worth a try, so she agreed to Li Boyong's condition.
Subsequently, Li Boyong told Tessa the hiding place of the nuclear weapon, letting the other party go and take it.
At the same time, he hinted at some things through some small talk, for example, that the source of intelligence about this stronghold must absolutely not be leaked to the people in Mithril's Intelligence Department.
With Tessa's level of wit, she immediately understood that Li Boyong was hinting that there was a rat in Mithril's Intelligence Department.
While secretly shocked, Tessa made a decision: if it could be confirmed that the intelligence provided by Li Boyong was all correct, then it could basically be judged that the other party indeed had some intention of turning over a new leaf.
The recollection ended here. Tessa, who was in the captain's seat of the Tuatha de Danaan, issued the order for the operation to begin.
Although this mission had gone through some twists and turns in the decision-making stage, it was still passed with the strong support of Lord Mallory.
This combat mission was to be executed across regions by the Western Pacific Squadron where Tessa was located, the reason being that the Indian Ocean Squadron had just been hit hard because of the Helmakistan incident.
Of course, this was just some rhetoric within the organization; the main reason was that Li Boyong had requested it of Tessa.
After all, he didn't know if there were any Lambda Driver-equipped units in that stronghold. If other Mithril units came to attack, they might even be wiped out.
Only with the Western Pacific Squadron, which had Sousuke and the Arbalest, could Li Boyong feel more at ease.
And Lord Mallory had the same concerns, which was why he cooperated with Li Boyong's action.
Following Tessa's order, the Tuatha de Danaan briefly surfaced to the sea and opened the hangar.
First, three armed helicopters with ECS functions took off and formed a formation.
Subsequently, eight transport helicopters with ECS functions took off one after another and, under the escort of the armed helicopter formation, flew toward the Amalgam stronghold within the territory of Taertasitan.
The eight transport aircraft were each loaded with six M9s and one Arbalest, as well as the pilots for the units, while the last transport aircraft carried two squads of special operations personnel.
It could be said that for this operation, Mithril's Western Pacific Squadron had exhausted all its strength.
About one hour and twenty-five minutes later.
Mithril's flight formation arrived near the combat area and began to deploy combat power.
With Sousuke's Arbalest in the lead, Mithril's AS unit began the annihilation operation against the stronghold.
Suffering a surprise attack, the stronghold's defensive forces didn't even have time to deploy before they had already suffered heavy losses.
A large number of old-fashioned Savages and armored vehicles were destroyed, and the two Phantoms that were the only ones capable of contending with the M9s were surrounded and destroyed by the M9s after they were activated and failed to obtain firepower weapons.
The infantry of the stronghold either fled in all directions or hid in underground facilities to put up a desperate struggle.
At this time, Mithril's infantry squads entered. These combat personnel were originally the elite of the elite, and now they could freely call for heavy firepower support from the AS on the scene, completing the sweeping operation like a hot knife through butter.
After capturing enough live prisoners, the Mithril unit carried out explosive processing on the stronghold, destroyed the large amount of drugs stockpiled, and then began to prepare for withdrawal.
After all, it was hard to say whether the government of this country had any involvement with the stronghold. To avoid the terrible situation of the country's regular army intervening, Mithril quickly returned to the Tuatha de Danaan after completing the lightning-fast blitzkrieg.
And after the Tuatha de Danaan took in the returning troops, it quickly dived and disappeared without a trace.
The entire operation was as swift as flowing water. It was not until this moment that the security forces of this country had just arrived at the scene of the incident.
It could be said that from this point, one could see that although the total strength of the behemoth Amalgam was much stronger than Mithril, Mithril's strength was still not to be underestimated. ===== CHAPTER 211 =====
