Mercenary’s War

For the next step, Gao Yang doesn’t have much to do.

The help that could be offered has already reached its limit, but the next matters certainly won’t be handled by Gao Yang for Grand Ivan, and he doesn’t need to manage them either, so Gao Yang is quite eager to proceed to the next step.

Grewatov pondered for a long time, finally nodded, and said solemnly, "I think we can proceed to the next step."

Hammer said casually, "If he’s just a grunt, he wouldn’t overthink. If he’s a grunt blinded by hatred, it’s even simpler. I don’t think there will be an issue to proceed to the next step."

Gao Yang quickly said, "He’s not a soldier, he’s an officer. We’ve found some information; Karl Stemonsen is his real name, and Karl’s rank is Lieutenant Colonel. At the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, surely he can’t be treated just as an ordinary soldier."

Hammer still looked unconcerned, saying, "A Lieutenant Colonel doesn’t matter, he’s a commander of special forces who maintains high-intensity training for years. He understands combat well, but if we let him handle intelligence, he doesn’t have that much energy. It’s different thinking, no problem."

Yake appeared somewhat hesitant but nodded after calculating for a long time, saying, "We should proceed to the next step. We’ve done all we could. I suggest maintaining high vigilance. If anything unusual is detected, we must be able to eliminate them immediately. These few people know too much."

Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Good, let’s proceed to the next step."

Gao Yang looked relaxed, saying, "When leaving, I said I would send people to take care of them and find them a doctor. Have you prepared suitable candidates?"

Ivan said solemnly, "I have suitable candidates, Giovanni Moreno. He’s Mexican and has worked for me for many years, familiar with the situation in Matamoros. I’ve also found doctors who serve drug dealers; they’re discreet and won’t spread anything."

Gao Yang frowned slightly, saying, "I think you should send your doctor rather than randomly pick one from here. If the doctor leaks anything, the consequences won’t be good."

Ivan immediately said, "Rest assured, I am completely confident that no one will disclose secrets."

"Okay, I’ve handed over control of the safe house to Karl, told him someone will come to help in the afternoon. Have your people just knock on the door, the contact code is ’the sun is nice, ideal for healing.’"

After reminding him, Gao Yang then casually said, "Things here are over. It will take at least three months for them to recover. Where will you go next?"

Ivan shook his head, saying, "I’m not going anywhere, staying right here."

Gao Yang was startled, asking, "You’ll wait here for a few months?"

Ivan said earnestly, "Yes, I might leave occasionally, but unless there’s something big, I’ll stay here to ensure nothing unexpected happens. These people are very important and also very dangerous. I’ll make sure nothing happens. If Karl and his team show signs of leaving forcibly, I’ll immediately eliminate them, better to waste a few billion than letting a few formidable guys go out of control."

Gao Yang nodded, saying, "Very well, you decide the progress. Notify me when you think their injuries allow them to act, and I’ll handle the remaining matters."

Ivan said earnestly, "I thank you on behalf of Grand Ivan."

Gao Yang waved his hand, smiling, "No need for thanks, handing this over to you, we’ll leave this afternoon."

Ivan said straightforwardly, "The plane is ready for you, you can directly fly to Yemen. There’s one more thing to tell you, you mentioned finding a few missile troopers?"

Gao Yang spread his hands, "Yes, missile troopers. The Houthis have missiles and Iran can supply them. I plan to get a few sets under our control. Given our current position in the Houthis Armed Forces, acquiring these shouldn’t be too difficult."

Ivan smiled, "Perfect timing, we have missiles. The target is too big and hard to handle. Grand Ivan said we could send you two free sets of Point."

"Oh, then thank you very much, thank Grand Ivan for me."

Ivan waved, saying, "Don’t rush, sending you two sets is nothing, as long as you can use them well. Besides, you should best utilize missiles to show their value. Iran has its ballistic missiles, but using their own entails too much risk for Iran. If you utilize the missiles very well and make them valuable, Iran will certainly be willing to buy them and give them to the Houthis Armed Forces, then we could seize the chance to clear some inventory."

Gao Yang smiled wryly, asking, "You’re suggesting I help you get some business? That’s hard to say, the Houthis Armed Forces have no money, and why should Iran buy from you? So I can’t be sure to convince Iran to buy your missiles."

Ivan laughed, saying, "Don’t worry, we’ve long had contact with Iran. The business isn’t just a one-time thing. As long as Iran finds it necessary, they’ll come to us themselves. Our missiles are cheap, very cheap, more suitable than Iran using their own. So if you can show the value of ballistic missiles, we can definitely sell them."

Gao Yang thought for a moment, nodded, saying, "Alright, then you can send them to Yemen under the guise of Russian assistance."

Ivan laughed, saying, "This task is handled by Uriyangko and operated by Polovich. You can just contact them. I can promise for them disguising the munitions as Russian aid is no problem, even disguising as American aid is feasible."

For missiles, Gao Yang wasn’t particularly focused; he was more interested in artillery, ordinary artillery.

"Since you’ve contact with Iran, can you figure a way for Iran to pay for self-propelled artillery but ultimately for our use? Yemen has towed artillery, but for us, self-propelled artillery is most suitable. However, buying it ourselves isn’t suitable, hoping Iran gifts us seems unrealistic."

While helping Grand Ivan a lot, it would be foolish not to make some demands, but the demand shouldn’t be too excessive. After all, self-propelled artillery is expensive, asking Grand Ivan to buy them out-of-pocket to gift to Houthis Armed Forces could be done but would always result in a loss; it’s best if Iran pays.

Ivan fell into contemplation, finally said with some trouble, "Getting Iran to pay, artillery for you, this isn’t easy to resolve. Maybe I should just decide to gift you a few pieces of self-propelled artillery, not too much money is involved."

Gao Yang shook his head, saying, "We won’t stay in Yemen for too long, self-propelled artillery won’t be needed anymore, unless we cart it away. Better work out a way for Iran to pay. If not, we’ll be stuck with towed artillery."

Ivan shook his head, saying, "I’m not very familiar with that side, this matter needs Polovich to try to find a way. I think maybe we can see about getting both artillery and missiles delivered to you simultaneously, give it a shot."
