Mercenary’s War

Throughout Yemen, there’s no place with better medical conditions than the Saudi Arabia’s military base in Aden.

Saving Hammer is difficult, bringing Hammer back alive is even harder, because if you take the gravely injured Hammer out of the hospital, a few bumps in the car could kill him.

Now, since the Saudi Arabia people definitely want to keep Hammer alive and they indeed have the best medical conditions, letting Hammer wait out the danger period in their hands is quite a good choice.

The most wonderful thing is, when Hammer can be transferred from the camp hospital to the military base, it means he already has at least the basic physical condition.

As for whether Hammer will be interrogated immediately after surgery and reveal secrets he shouldn’t, Gao Yang has never worried about that.

Hammer is simply not the kind of person who can be interrogated effectively. If there’s someone in the world whose nerves are made of steel, Hammer must be one of them. Even if the Saudi Arabia people have extremely skilled interrogators who can extract everything, perhaps Hammer would eventually talk if he’s in good health, but in his current condition, he’d probably die as soon as he’s tortured.

So, the Saudi Arabia people must be patient, giving Gao Yang ample time.

Misfortune rests upon fortune; fortune rests upon misfortune. Being gravely injured and near death is not a good thing, but now, Hammer’s severe injury is actually his guarantee to stay alive.

When night fell, Gao Yang received a call from Tarta.

"The surgery lasted four hours, completed two hours ago, successful, Hammer is still alive."

Tarta sounded very pleased, then couldn’t help but laugh and say: "That bastard Hammer has really great luck, he might just actually survive. When he comes out, I’ll definitely grab his ear and ask him what exactly he was thinking! That old bastard!"

After a few mock-swearings, Tarta quickly returned to the topic, then used the calm voice only a spy could have: "Glewatov’s infiltration is excellent, but still unable to reach the core, so the information’s timeliness is somewhat delayed. Now, we can’t determine when Hammer will wake, but it won’t be soon, and he definitely won’t be interrogated."

"Understood, find a way to leave a mole there to monitor Hammer’s condition at all times. When he can be transferred, we need to be ready for action."

Gao Yang looked at his watch and then said, "Rostotsky and the others will arrive in Aden tonight. We are ready for action. Once there’s information, we can be in Aden within three hours. However, we can’t currently infiltrate Aden City, so the timeliness of intelligence is extremely important. We need at least over three hours to prepare, four hours would be best."

Tarta responded solemnly, "Understood, Vasily’s infiltration of the camp hospital isn’t very successful. I’ve instructed him to exit the camp and start gathering intelligence from the camp to the military base. The shortest route between the two takes thirty minutes, the longest takes two hours, but there are multiple routes to choose from."

Gao Yang was a bit troubled and said in a low voice, "We can only intensify intelligence work."

"Yes, we can only intensify intelligence work. Also, I think it’s necessary to prevent the possibility that Hammer won’t be transferred."

The Saudi Arabia top management plans to send Hammer to their military base, but the person specifically responsible for the task might think it’s unsuitable to transfer him, so they might simply let Hammer stay in the camp hospital. This situation is likely to occur, but as it stands, intercepting en route is clearly better than assaulting the camp.

Without giving Gao Yang much time to think, Tarta provided a solution, speaking softly: "We need to hit the camp with two more missiles, making the Saudi Arabia people think the camp hospital is unsafe. What do you think?"

Gao Yang agreed with Tarta’s suggestion, but felt it was important to be mindful of Hammer’s condition to prevent alarming the Saudi Arabia people, forcing a transfer when Hammer’s physical condition permits.

"Will Glewatov be in danger?"

"Of course not, aim the missiles a bit farther away."

"It’d be better to coordinate the missile strikes based on Hammer’s condition. When Hammer is close to being transferred, we’ll strike with missiles, creating a guise of silencing witnesses to compel the Saudi Arabia people to transfer Hammer."

"Exactly, that’s how it should be."

"I’ll press the Iranians to hurry and deliver the missiles. We only have two left, need more to cause greater chaos when we execute the operation to facilitate our action."

"I like this plan, using surface-to-surface missiles as main firepower support. I’m curious, who else, who else can do it, haha."

Hammer’s condition appears well, which slightly relaxed Gao Yang’s mood. He couldn’t help but laugh twice, then said seriously: "I’m authorizing you to fully manage all actions within Aden City, continue strengthening intelligence gathering within the camp, and also clarify the routes for the rescue operation. Remember, do not act on your own."

"Understood."

"That’s it."

Gao Yang hadn’t mentioned anything about Hammer or the rescue operation to the Houthis Armed Forces.

What’s the use of telling the Houthis Armed Forces about this? Apart from cheering, they wouldn’t have any other role, and telling them might lead to leaks.

But things are different now. We only have two missiles left, and Gao Yang urgently needs a large number of surface-to-surface missiles, so it’s still unnecessary to tell the Houthis what we’re doing, but now there’s more time, allowing for more urgent requests to Said to quickly send the missiles.

Gao Yang called Said, then directly said: "Where have the ballistic missiles been delivered? We’re about to launch a major operation, urgently need missiles."

The previous two missile strikes achieved extremely good results, and since the results were good, naturally stronger support could be obtained.

Said did not hesitate to say: "I’ll send them to you immediately. I was just about to contact you about this. The first batch of twelve missiles has already arrived, oh and there are two missile launcher vehicles. Where do you want them delivered? Will your missile launch base be moved?"

Gao Yang paused for a moment, then uncertainly asked: "You’re saying, twelve missiles? Deliver them all?"

"Yes, they can be delivered all at once, or in batches, depending on your needs. They’re all U-Dian missiles, I’ve checked, very new and very good."

Gao Yang stroked his chin, contemplating a total of fourteen missiles, that’s quite a lot. Sending them all could pose storage issues, and the vehicles towing them aren’t small, the more vehicles, the bigger the target. However, fourteen missiles, surely enough for this operation.

Since it’s a major operation, a larger target would be worth the risk.
