Chapter 12 Player Tactical Squad, Prepare for a Fierce Attack
"Su, the pirates have one condition for lowering the ransom to fifteen million—"
"That means I have to hand you over. You have a two million bounty on your head from the pirates, and the entire mercenary squad has a five million bounty on their head."
"If we don't pay, the ransom will be twenty million."
The shipowner paused for a moment before continuing.
Su Xuan frowned slightly and said calmly, "So, boss, you agree."
The words were spoken.
Other players drew their guns, ready for battle, and the personnel on both sides on the warship immediately fell into a tense and anxious state.
Players wouldn't mind fighting another battle against the most powerful navy in the United States.
Su Xuan killed two people, but the pirates attributed all the player kills and K/D to him.
In the eyes of the pirates, the player squad was brought by Su Xuan. As the commander, he was responsible for causing such great losses to the pirates.
When the pirates attacked, Su Xuan was the first to be hit.
You've misunderstood.
"I have prepared ten kilograms of gold for you at the port of Djibouti."
"The Marines will be here soon. I need you to cooperate with them to take back my ship and wipe out all the pirates on board."
The shipowner, Smith, heir to the Lighthouse Nation's arms conglomerate, didn't take the pirate threats seriously at all; the pirates' actions would only anger him and his entire family.
What does it mean for a family conglomerate that made its fortune selling arms to be threatened with force?
Arms dealers have plenty of weapons and methods to deal with pirates.
"After it's done, go to Djibouti and find a hotel to rest. Ten kilograms of gold is a reward prepared specifically for you."
Pirates raid other ships, and shipowner Smith doesn't care. But if they mess with his ship, Smith will make it a no-go zone for pirates.
Shipowner Smith wanted pirates to avoid his ship in fear from the future.
"Don't worry, boss, no problem."
Upon hearing that there were ten kilograms of gold, Su Xuan's eyes lit up, and he agreed without hesitation.
In his world, the price of gold has exceeded 1000 yuan per gram, so 10 kilograms of gold would be worth 10 million yuan, enough for him to live comfortably.
When the shipowner, Smith, saw that Su Xuan had agreed without hesitation, he hung up the phone.
Next, Su Xuan patiently led the players to wait for the Marines.
……
noon.
buzz-
Osprey helicopters carrying Marines landed vertically on the warship's helipad.
The hatch opened, and a fully armed ten-man tactical squad stepped out.
"All members are at Level 6A."
"Fully modified M4A1".
"MK153 rocket launcher and M249 squad automatic weapon."
The player looked at this fully armed Marine Corps, with firepower of all sizes and sophisticated weapons.
This comparison clearly shows the inferiority.
War room.
"There are only two hostages. If we let the pirates bring them to the deck, we'll have a chance to rescue them. Then, we can focus on eliminating the remaining pirates."
The Marine Corps squad leader outlined the initial operational plan.
Once the two hostages are rescued, the Marines can unleash their full firepower and eliminate the pirates without hesitation. The only concern is that the pirates might hide the hostages, putting them at a disadvantage during the attack.
"It's not that simple. The rest aren't pirates, they're a well-trained army. If you kill one, the others will immediately hide and then fire a rocket at you in return."
"That army is insane; they'll take you down with them, armed with Claymore mines."
Players raised objections.
If the remaining fifty pirates are a rabble, the player, in coordination with the marines, can easily wipe them out; however, if they encounter a well-trained and highly responsive army, they can easily get bogged down in a protracted battle, and the longer it goes on, the more unpredictable things become.
Players recall the army's insane firing of armor-piercing projectiles, the metal jets piercing the ceiling and nearly turning them into sizzling skewers.
Upon hearing this...
The Marine Corps squad leader fell into deep thought. If that were the case, the two tactical squads would be surrounded again, and it would be uncertain whether the hostages could be rescued.
"What countermeasures do you have?"
The Marine Corps squad commander looked at the player.
Players have experience fighting pirates.
Before the Marine Corps squad arrived, they watched the player's combat videos. Their quick-attack and quick-retreat tactics, amazing gun control, and the fact that they fought the pirates for a long time without a single death and still maintain their combat effectiveness were impressive.
The Marine Corps acknowledges the player squad's capabilities and shows no disrespect.
"Let our boss negotiate with the pirates, saying he wants to see the captain. We'll lure them to the deck railing, and then we'll split into two tactical teams and dive across the sea."
"Once we spot the pirates, the warship will open fire to draw their attention. Our boss will then grab the captain and first mate and have them jump overboard. Our two tactical squads will then go up to the deck to clear out the pirates."
"See if the warship can use mortars to fire a large number of smoke grenades onto the deck; that would increase the success rate."
"As soon as the sound of warships firing is heard, the two tactical squads will immediately take action."
The players proposed a preliminary plan: as long as Su Xuan could safely lead the hostages away, the players would have no worries and could launch a full-scale attack.
Although the remaining elite pirates were well-trained, the player's marksmanship was still not as fast as theirs after some contact. With the two sides standing face to face, the player was confident that he could shoot and kill the other side first.
"From what you're saying, you're planning to attack during the day."
"Speed is of the essence in war; the pirates wouldn't have expected us to be so fast."
"Moreover, our boss has a two million dollar bounty on his head from pirates. If our boss goes there, it will definitely attract the pirates' attention."
The player was communicating with the Marines, completely ignoring Su Xuan standing to the side, and didn't even ask for his opinion.
Both sides engaged in frank discussions and began negotiating the details.
"What if I can't pull someone into the sea?"
Su Xuan said helplessly, "What if something unexpected happens? What if a group of pirates are pointing their guns at me? What if I can't jump into the sea as fast as a bullet?"
"Boss, I forgot about the Dragon spray."
The player reminded him.
Dragon's high-speed jet propulsion will surely catch the pirates off guard.
Su Xuan got a headache as soon as he heard Wei Long breathe fire. He was disguised as Wei Long, but he wasn't really Wei Long; he was more like a Wei insect.
"They forgot about the escort."
Su Xuan reminded the players not to forget that the boss only needed to stay in the rear and didn't need to lead the charge.
These players got so engrossed in the game that they almost forgot they were on escort missions.
"The boss doesn't need to come in person. We haven't even shown our faces. The pirates won't be able to tell who the boss is. We can just have someone switch clothes with the boss."
The player realized what was happening and laughed awkwardly.
The escort team got so caught up in the chaos that they almost sent their boss up as bait.
The difference between Su Xuan and the players is that his outfit has a skin: the Jiaolong Commando uniform.
"Boss, I'll switch clothes with you, and I'll impersonate you to rescue the hostages."
Player Eggplant looked at Su Xuan and said.
"Um."
Seeing that the players no longer insisted on him personally taking to the field, Su Xuan nodded in agreement.
Su Xuan just wants to end everything as soon as possible, then quickly return to the main world to sell the gold and get some rest.
The thought that some people enjoy war makes Su Xuan feel that those people are either crazy or mentally ill.
Su Xuan used to enjoy intense battles, but that was in games. Now that he had experienced it firsthand, his passion subsided, his mind cleared, and he began to recall the several life-or-death crises he had faced, feeling a wave of fear wash over him.
