Mercenary’s War

There are some things that must never be said in front of Niva and Dmitry, so after they left, Gao Yang couldn’t wait to make a call.

Thanks to the convenient communication facilities nowadays, the transmission of intelligence has become incredibly easy. Information that once required the sacrifice of many lives can now be sent with just a phone call.

As for doing business, they certainly have more reasons to thank the convenient communication conditions. Any business opportunity can be settled with a single call.

"Brother, do you have 105mm towed artillery?"

"Of course, I must have them. Do you need it?"

"That’s right, either M102 or M119 will do. They need to be new, in good condition, and with a full range of shells. Delivery must be fast. What do you have?"

"I have M102, which can be arranged very conveniently. I don’t have M119, as it’s too expensive, but I have L118, the basic model of the M119."

"L118? I’m not too familiar with this artillery."

"L119 is a British cannon exported to the United States, where it is called M119. It’s essentially the same thing, and L119 is an upgraded version of L118. If you want L118, it’s easy because Oman is equipped with it. As long as you say you want it, I can buy it from Oman and deliver it to you quickly."

Gao Yang was a bit stunned, then he asked in amazement, "Buying the artillery equipped by Oman, is that even possible?"

"Why not? It’s not like it hasn’t been done before."

Gao Yang took a breath, then he said happily, "That’s great. I’ll immediately request from the Iranians to provide L118. Uh, if I directly ask for L118, isn’t that too blatant? Isn’t it like directly telling the Iranians that I’m colluding with you?"

"Exactly, so you only need to ask for a 105mm cannon. Then the Iranians will contact me, and I’ll just say I only have L118 in stock."

"Alright, I’ll contact them immediately."

"Hold on, isn’t using M102 a good option? We have stock in our warehouse, and I want to clear it out soon. The main thing is M102 can make us more money, buying L118 from the Oman Army will be much more expensive."

"No way, this is for my own use, buddy. I wouldn’t gamble with my own life. Get ready, wait for my news, the Iranians won’t refuse."

No need to trouble Grand Ivan with such small matters; Gao Yang called Polovich directly. Facts proved Polovich was enough for such small tasks.

After confirming the artillery with Grand Ivan’s side, the next call was naturally to Salim. Although the Houthis Armed Forces certainly couldn’t provide the 105 cannon, Gao Yang couldn’t directly contact Said, bypassing the Houthis Armed Forces.

Sure enough, within ten minutes of the call, Gao Yang got in direct contact with Said, who only said he would apply and didn’t give a direct answer.

However, Gao Yang knew Said would definitely meet his request, because Said had no other choice.

After the meeting and sorting out the artillery exchange, it reached around nine in the evening, time to move on, so Gao Yang and the others escorted the missile unit towards the next village to begin their operation.

The main role of Satan’s team was to act as artillery scouts, spotting and guiding targets. As for the Missile Troopers, they only struck fixed targets, preferably large ones, so just a few Black Demon members were enough to scout. With the artillery actions on hold, Gao Yang and his team’s position became awkward as they had no role to play.

Even with a rapid artillery replacement, it would take several days. During this time, scouting was unnecessary, participating in combat wasn’t needed, and Gao Yang thought back and forth, they could only be spectators, at most undertaking the task of guarding the missile units. But the possibility of the missile unit encountering air attacks was there, encountering enemy ground combat units was negligible.

Nobody likes to be useless, and although being idle was safer, Gao Yang still didn’t like just being a bystander.

The monotonous, unchanging desert scenery easily made people sleepy, and the endless, unchanging road made Gao Yang even more restless.

"I want to sleep for a while. If you feel tired or exhausted, wake me to take over driving."

There were enough vehicles and people; it was basically two people per vehicle. To avoid air strikes, dispersing the personnel configuration a bit meant fewer casualties if a strike occurred, though it did mean more fatigue.

Gao Yang was drowsy, but when he wanted to close his eyes and sleep, he couldn’t fall asleep instead.

Just then, Gao Yang’s phone rang.

As if wound up like a clock, Gao Yang shot upright, and immediately took his phone within reach, answering in a low voice, "Who?"

"Dongfeng Express, Hammer, I’ve found a big customer."

Gao Yang perked up immediately, asking, "Where?"

"Military camp, a large Gulf Cooperation Council garrison."

Excited, Gao Yang asked, "Just a military camp? Any high-value equipment like helicopters or armored vehicles, or the enemy’s command center, or senior officers’ rest areas?"

"None discovered yet. To find out, I’d have to sneak in. Currently, it’s only clear that this is a military camp. I suggest you store the coordinate data in the database, then you can strike whenever needed, as this fixed target won’t move."

Gao Yang exhaled, saying, "Alright, give me the coordinates."

"Latitude, longitude, 44.971000, 12.875254, center point."

Gao Yang quickly jotted down the latitude and longitude Hammer provided, confirmed it was accurate, then took out the GPS. After confirming his position, he suddenly said, "We’re only a hundred kilometers away from the coordinate point."

"So what?"

Gao Yang thought for a bit, then said, "Nothing, I decide to strike your spotted target now."

Hammer was astonished, saying, "Now?"

"Yes, now. We’re on the move, but I’m bored, so I decide to stop, fire a couple of shots, and then continue. It doesn’t delay us anyway, does it?"

"Isn’t it too wasteful?"

"Wasteful? The word ’waste’ isn’t in our dictionary anymore. Alright, Hammer, leave there now; no need for further reconnaissance, it’s unnecessary."

Gao Yang has always adapted quickly to new roles. What’s wrong with striking during a march? If you want to fire, then do it.

After all, staying idle is idle, doing two things at once with minimal effort isn’t a problem.

It’s not spending his own money, and missiles can earn him a commission when fired, so why not?
