Chapter 5324 Large Task

"Since you think there are more benefits, let's do it. You know I always trust your judgment." Lin Rui smiled.

The actuary said, but shook his head, "But this time is a little different. The United States wants to talk to you in detail about the content of this mission."

"It seems that they are doing it very formally." Lin Rui frowned, "Is this matter very important to them?"

"I'm afraid so. They have been keeping an eye on you to see if you are coming back? Since getting your news, representatives of the US military have informed me that they will arrive in about three hours." Actuary Masakishi replied.

"Who is it this time? Someone from Africa Command, or someone from the Djibouti base?" Lin Rui asked.

"The man from Africa Command, Colonel Dulu Jonathan." Actuary Masagishi replied.

"Jonathan? I haven't seen him for a while. I thought he was promoted." Lin Rui shrugged.

"He has indeed risen through the ranks, and he is now the right-hand man under U.S. Africa Command Commander Stephen Townsend.

He came in person and said that things are not that simple." Actuary Masakishi replied.

"Then let's wait for Colonel Jonathan and see what surprises he can bring us." Lin Rui smiled.

After noon, several US military helicopters landed on the island. Colonel Jonathan came to the island accompanied by several US troops.

He looked very happy after seeing Lin Rui. He strode over and shook hands with Lin Rui, "Nice to meet you, Rick."

"Hello, Colonel. Long time no see." Lin Rui nodded to him.

"I have been at the headquarters recently. I just returned to Africa last week." Colonel Jonathan smiled.

The US military's Africa Command is a rather strange existence.

In October 2007, the United States announced the establishment of the U.S. Africa Command. However, in the process of finding a location for the Africa Command, it encountered widespread resistance from African countries and could only locate its headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany.

"At least the beer there is good." Lin Rui joked.

"Rick, we have worked together many times and are considered old friends. So I don't want to say too much politeness. I think Mr. John has already told you the general situation.

Can we go to your office to talk in detail?" Jonathan looked at Lin Rui.

"Of course." Lin Rui made a gesture, "Please come this way."

After arriving at the office, everyone sat down.

Jonathan directly said to Lin Rui, "We have encountered some troubles in Somalia, I believe you have heard about it.

Rick, I need your help right now. I really need it."

Lin Rui looked at him, "We are willing to help, but we have to know the specific situation. We have to know what we are facing before we can formulate a strategy."

"I need you to help us get rid of the Somali Youth Army." Jonathan whispered.

"I have heard something about the Somali Youth Army. It is said that they have changed their boss now. What is that person's name?" Lin Rui turned around and asked the actuary Jiang An.

"Salas." Actuary Shogan replied, "A few months ago he was the second-in-command of the Somali Youth Army. The terrorists who were recently defeated with the help of the jihadist alliance have now officially become the leader of the Somali youth."

Lin Rui nodded, turned to Jonathan and asked, "You want to kill this Salas, right?"

"No, not exactly." Jonathan hesitated and explained patiently, "Salas is just a leader. Killing him won't change the situation.

What we want is to completely eliminate the Somali Youth Army."

"Completely kill the Somali Youth Army?" Lin Rui thought for a while, "I'm afraid it won't be easy. The Somali Youth Army currently has at least several thousand people.

And recently, many experienced and veteran terrorists have joined them. Their total number has now tripled from before.

Do you want me to kill a team of thousands of people at once?"

Jonathan looked at Lin Rui, "Even if we can't completely annihilate them, I still want to be able to severely damage them.

So what we want is not to kill someone. What we want is to kill them all.

Because even if their leader is killed, they will soon have a new leader. This will not solve the fundamental problem."

"Mr. Colonel, this is an armed force of thousands of people. Even the Somali National Army can't do anything to them.

If we want to eliminate them all, it will take a long time and cost a lot." Lin Rui frowned.

"I understand, that's why I came to you." Jonathan said to Lin Rui, "I also know that this cannot be completed in a short time.

But we do need such an effect. Even if the Somali Youth Army cannot be completely eradicated, at least it must greatly weaken their strength and prevent them from posing a threat to us again."

"I originally thought you were just targeting a certain person, but if you want to completely eradicate the Somali Youth Army, it will take a long time, and it will most likely be a large-scale operation.

It is very likely that I will have to use all the manpower and material resources of our company to fight the terrorists in Somalia." Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes, this is what we want. Rick, I know you. You have the ability to take on this task, and your company has enough strength.

And we can ask the Somali side to cooperate with you. The Somali National Army can fully assist you." Colonel Jonathan looked at Lin Rui.

"This has nothing to do with how much support we can get. I just didn't expect you to need to do this." Lin Rui replied. "This makes me a little unprepared at the moment.

You know that since the end of the Western Sahara mission, we have suffered heavy losses in personnel and equipment. In fact, we have been in a rest stage.

I didn't expect that we would face a large-scale mission so soon. Are you sure what you need is a large-scale joint combat mission?"

"Yes. The current situation in Nigeria is quite unstable. The Nigerian authorities even asked us to locate Africa Command in Nigeria.

They made a formal proposal to us last week.

The above believe that this is a great opportunity for Africa Command to return to Africa. We need to set a certain example for this return to Africa.

This incident in Somalia has made the top military officials very uncomfortable. It is very likely that the plan to return to Africa will be shelved.

Therefore, we urgently need to reverse this situation. We must tell everyone that the military presence of the US military in Africa will help improve regional security.

Therefore, the Somali Youth Army has become our number one target. Only by solving them can we show that we have such ability and responsibility.

Rick, this is an opportunity, both for you and for us." Jonathan looked at Lin Rui and said very seriously.
