Chapter 1338 Long live Hydra (Third update, please subscribe)
After leaving Musandam, the C130 transport plane flying to Paradise Island flew all the way to its destination.
There is a big difference between military transport aircraft and civil aviation aircraft. Zou Hao, who is sitting on the left side of the cabin, cannot see the situation outside the cabin at all unless he stands up. Most of the passengers in the cabin are military personnel,
There is the Army, the Navy, and of course the Air Force. On the pallet in the middle of the cabin, there are some aviation containers neatly stacked. What is inside?
Is it a weapon? Or other supplies?
Zou Hao didn't know, and he didn't care much. Now, he is more concerned about the next task,
"The Security Council passed a resolution in November 1961, authorizing the United Nations peacekeeping forces to use all necessary means to maintain peace in the Congo. The peacekeeping forces finally obtained Shang Fang Sword."
While the plane was flying to its destination, Zou Hao looked at the information provided by "Hydra".
“The peacekeeping forces stationed in the Congo are composed of troops from neutral countries that are neither NATO nor Warsaw Pact. They come from Ireland, Sweden, India, Ghana, Ethiopia and other countries. Among them, India sent A fully equipped infantry brigade was formed. The commander of the 99th Infantry Brigade was Major General Chand, who was also the commander of the peacekeeping force."
"The 99th Infantry Brigade..."
Zou Hao raised his brows and thought:
"It seems that I have fought against them, old friends..."
In order to enhance the strength of the peacekeeping forces, both India and Sweden have sent air forces. Go to war. India sent "Canberra" bombers, Sweden sent "Saab-29" fighter jets, and India also sent a heavy artillery battalion, making the United Nations peacekeeping forces even more powerful.
In addition, the United States also provided transport aircraft to help the peacekeeping force transport supplies. The peacekeeping force quickly transformed from a force similar to a police force into a regular field army - a field force with tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery. These are not peacekeepers, they are here to fight.
Who is the opponent of this 17,000-strong United Nations force?
"Tshombe has about 17,000 troops, led by about 500 white mercenaries... These white mercenaries are the key. Bob Denard - a French retired officer! Well, if nothing else, it should be France Someone from the intelligence agency.”
Looking at the photo in the file, Zou Hao, a fellow traveler, could see through the other party’s identity at a glance.
It’s really hard to say, at least as to the identity of this guy, it’s not clear.
In another world, Bob Denard is the famous "King of Mercenaries". As the earliest mercenary in Africa, he not only participated in the Congolese Civil War for a long time, but after leaving Congo, Denard It has been involved in civil wars in Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Benin, Gabon, Angola and other countries. According to statistics, in the decade of the 1970s, at least 150 military coups and civil wars in Africa were related to European mercenaries.
But his famous battle was Comoros. He led 29 people to invade and occupy this country, giving birth to the world's first "mercenary state".
Later, despite pressure from France, he left the Comoros and returned to France, where he faced a series of judicial trials. He used various evidence to defend himself and emphasized that he maintained contact with French intelligence services. In the end, for various reasons, De was acquitted due to insufficient evidence.
Later, whenever troubled reporters wanted to stir up the mercenary past, Denard always insisted that everything he did in Africa was not wrong and was all for the "motherland."
The white mercenaries in Africa... are nothing more than a white glove of many former sovereign states in the post-colonial era.
Zou Hao didn’t understand this. Of course, he didn’t mean to understand. He just looked at the people in the photo and said to himself in his heart:
“Okay, now The tasks you have not completed will be completed by us!”
A few hours later, the plane landed at Paradise Island. After the tail cabin of the plane was opened, after the passengers from the army, navy and air force got off the plane, Zou Hao, who was dressed as a civilian, also got off the plane. When he got off the plane, someone came to greet him and asked. :
"Are you Agent Zou of the Black Knight?"
"I am, are you?"
"I am Zhao Guojie from the Air Force Intelligence Office."
When Zhao Guojie introduced himself, he specifically added:
"I will be responsible for accompanying you these days."
"I've asked you to worry about it, Chief Zhao."
After a simple communication, Zou Hao proposed to go see the plane - he The purpose of coming here this time was to "purchase remaining supplies", and this batch of remaining supplies was a batch of MiG fighter jets.
You don’t even need to leave the airport, you just need to take a bus to the tarmac at the other end of the airport. Soon, they came to the planes. Zhao Guojie pointed at the planes and said:
"You see, these are all aircraft captured by the military during "Operation Restoration of Freedom". In fact, some British-made Vampires and our F1s were also captured, but they were all left to the Royal Army. These Soviet-made aircraft were Stayed.”
In fact, there is no need to explain. Zou Hao knows why he was left behind. It is because the intelligence agency needs some "non-Southern weapons", just like Shan State. Now, the reason why he came here is also for these weapons.
“We can provide you with 10 MiG-17 fighter jets and corresponding accessories.”
“What about tanks?”
“4 IS3 heavy tanks, 15 T34 tanks, 30 M3 light tanks, and 55 M8 armored vehicles and Bren machine gun carriers. In terms of artillery, 12 152 mm cannons can be provided, which is the Soviet-made ML-20..."
Actually provided These technical equipment all have a prerequisite to suppress the United Nations forces, which only have 10 "Saab-29" fighter jets.
After thinking about it, Zou Hao said:
"I need these aircraft! I mean, after the operation is over, these MiG aircraft will be handed over to us. We will definitely need these aircraft for our operations in other places. I believe that in the future, you will not only need us in Katanga"
..."Katanga is just the beginning"
In. In a club in Chang'an, Jia Wentao looked at Berlin in front of him and said:
"Three years ago, France gave up almost all of their colonies in Africa, and more than a dozen independent countries appeared overnight across Africa. It is for this reason that the year 60 is called the "Year of African Independence."< br>
"Yes! Overnight, there are more members on the international stage,"
Berlin looked at the deputy director of the Secret Intelligence Service in front of him. Today's meeting was proposed by Sun Peng'an, From now on, Jia Wentao will be responsible for the connection between the two companies.
However, the meeting place was not in their office, but in this club. Obviously this was not a formal meeting, or in other words, it was not an official meeting.
Since he mentioned "Katanga", there is naturally nothing to hide, and it is impossible to complete this task just relying on the nine-headed snake.
Nodding, Berlin said:
"At that time, they thought that independent Africa had unlimited possibilities, but we can see what happened there. The former low-level civil servants suddenly became high-ranking officials, even ministers, President, they have kept saying that the country will become rich and powerful after independence, but what will be the result?"
Berlin said slowly:
"They live in white colonists. They turned the national treasury into their own wallets. What did they do besides enriching their own pockets? International aid turned into luxury cars, jewelry and watches, and turned into their luxury houses in Europe. But what about the local people? Living even poorer..."
"No!"
Jia Wentao said:
“They have never been rich in the past, but the people who exploited them have changed from white Europeans to their own people, and to black people.”
“It is true, but Compared with the rule of white people, the way their own people treat their own people is more cruel and barbaric..."
So Berlin described his understanding of African politics in detail.
“Perhaps the colonial rulers were not benevolent guys, but at least under their rule, people could live a peaceful life, but after independence, those countries were turbulent and chaotic, and people suffered The suffering is also unprecedented..."
Of course, this is all a one-sided statement, a lofty one, standing on the highest moral point!
Don’t call Berlin hypocritical, in fact everyone is like this.
“Just like Katanga, Katanga’s independence is inevitable because they involve tribal and other issues. Kinshasa cannot guarantee fairness to Katanga, so they also The only choice is to go your own way!”
“This phenomenon is not isolated”
Jia Wentao said:
"That's why I say - Katanga is just the beginning. You should have a more extensive plan. Of course, this is not within the scope of my understanding."
Facing the conclusion drawn by Jia Wentao, Berlin did not give a direct answer, but asked rhetorically.
"Do you know what Hydra is?"
"Hydra..."
After thinking about it, he said:
"hailhydra!"
His answer made Berlin laugh. After the laughter, Berlin said seriously:
"hailhydra!"
Then he said : "Hydra... is an extremely secretive organization. If you cut off one head, another will grow. But no matter what, the relationship between Hydra and the Secret Intelligence Service is like a coin."
Berlin took out a coin from his wallet and said:
"The Secret Intelligence Service is the obverse side of the coin, and Hydra is the flip side of the coin. Sometimes we will perform tasks that you cannot perform."
And this is what created Hydra. The original intention was not just to recruit those Nazi spies, but to do some dark work for a better future.
"Africa, now with the successive independence of African countries, we can see that the Americans and the Soviets are extending their hands to Africa. At this time, what should we do?"< br>
Berlin asked:
“Katanga is just the beginning, Hydra will launch operations there, and we will definitely be able to succeed there, but our goal is the entire Africa, Compared with the direct intervention of the Secret Intelligence Service, Hydra... will hardly attract the attention of the outside world. After all, not many people in the world know of his existence."
Two sides of the same coin, such is the relationship between Hydra and the Secret Intelligence Service. After hearing the other party's explanation, Jia Wentao also fell into silence.
He found that even as the deputy director of the Secret Intelligence Service, there were many things that he did not understand. This was of course true. After all, there were some things that he was not a participant in, so naturally he would not become a Insider.
As for the phenomenon, he will be involved in it...
