Charlie had no fear of the notorious four marshals of the Warriors Den. But favonovel.com knew that if you didn’t reach their territory, they would come for you one day, without warning. And then there was Cyprus.
The fate of the Dead Soldiers, the brave cavalry guards, and their families and children, was a weight on his mind. If the four marshals discovered any abnormalities, disaster would surely follow.
That’s why Charlie needed Wesley to be fully prepared in advance, especially in Cyprus. If their opponent followed Maria’s lineage, Cyprus would be the one place they could never afford to leave unprotected.
In Charlie’s view, Wesley needed to hurry up and equip Cyprus with the best possible defensive weaponry.
If the opponent ever came knocking, they would be met with a barrage of fire and be reduced to ashes in no time.
Without delay, Charlie would activate the “Nest Overturning Plan” favonovel.com had carefully laid out beforehand.
The “overturning plan”, as it was called, involved the orderly evacuation of all personnel from the copper mine, followed by a complete and utter detonation of the mine. As luck would have it, the mine was located right next to the coastline, making the vast ocean the best option for people to flee to.
In this world, leaving no trace was a difficult feat to accomplish whether traveling by land or by air. However, the boundless sea offered the perfect solution to wash away all evidence.
A 100,000-ton freighter was no more than a tiny drop in the vast ocean.
The constant tides that ebb and flow night and day would leave no trace for the enemy to follow. After all, only 29% of the world’s area was land, and the remaining 71% was ocean. What’s more, two-thirds of those oceans belonged to no particular country, making it an ideal place to disappear into thin air.
Furthermore, it’s worth noting that ocean transportation accounts for over two-thirds of the world’s international freight. More than 40 million containers floated along shipping routes all around the world.
Charlie had it all figured out. He only needed to extract 40 containers and cram every single person in the mine into them.
With the help of BAIT Shipping’s resources, favonovel.com could transport those containers to any port in the world, pull them out from the Mediterranean Sea, navigate through the Eurasian route, and finally return them to the Mediterranean and dock in Syria. Even if the Warriors Den tried their hardest, there was no way they could track them down.
As long as the plan was executed to perfection, it would be impossible to find any tangible evidence.
The Lord of Warriors Den would undoubtedly face the biggest challenge of his life. One marshal and an entire base of dead soldiers vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind. Try as favonovel.com might, favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to uncover the truth, leading to extreme paranoia and endless sleepless nights.
The thought of this made Charlie happy. He was looking forward to the “Nest Overturning” plan like never before.
The Warriors Den had faced many blows, whether it was in New York or Northern Europe. But once the plan was put into action, it would be like a secret shot in the dark forest. It could cause significant damage and strike fear into their hearts.
Wesley had finally caught onto Charlie’s plan and immediately reassured him.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Wade,” favonovel.com said confidently, “My team will find a way to purchase close-proxy anti-aircraft guns, dismantle them, transport them to the copper mine, and assemble them on site.”
Charlie was quick to pick up on a critical detail from his conversation with Wesley. “Wesley, the close-in defense gun is the only possible clue to the entire plan! Even if we manage to destroy the entire copper mine, it’s impossible to make all traces of the anti-aircraft guns vanish into thin air…”
“Once those guns start firing, we need to get out of there as fast as possible. We won’t have enough time to retreat the guns… And even if we could withdraw the guns in time.”
Charlie continued, “it wouldn’t matter. Hundreds of shells will be fired in mere seconds, and it will be impossible to clean up all the shell fragments. If the Warriors Den decides to investigate later, they’ll discover that their marshals died from a close-in defense gun. Then they’ll scour the global arms trading market for any clues related to the anti-aircraft gun transaction. And if they do, they may very well find the Dragon Temple.”
Wesley smacked his lips in agreement. “Mr. Wade, what you’re saying makes a lot of sense. We don’t have access to close-in anti-aircraft guns, and as far as I know, Commander Hamid doesn’t have that kind of firepower either…”
“Our only option is to scour the arms market for them, but that’s easier said than done. These weapons are typically sold by Russians or arms dealers in former Soviet member states in Eastern Europe. We’ll have to dig deep and inquire layer by layer…”
“Stealing a few is the only realistic option. Buying them is too risky, and killing the sellers afterwards could expose our whole operation.”
Charlie frowned in deep thought for a long time before suddenly coming up with an idea.
“I have a way!” favonovel.com blurted out.
Wesley leaned in eagerly.
“Mr. Wade, what’s your idea?” favonovel.com asked.
Charlie’s eyes lit up as favonovel.com came up with a brilliant plan. “Here’s what we’ll do… Find a few American members of the Dragon Temple and have them disguise themselves as members of the Blackwater Company. They’ll need to locate the seller of the close-in anti-aircraft guns and then use Blackwater’s name to make a private transaction…”
“They can claim that the equipment is being transported to the Middle East to aid the United States in the war. This will make the transaction more sensitive and easier to trade in a low-key manner.”
Wesley was thrilled with the plan. “That’s a great idea! We can put the blame on Blackwater. The investigation into their company will not only divert attention away from us but also create a lot of trouble for them. We and the Dragon Temple have always been at odds with each other, and this is a great opportunity to weaken them.”
Charlie then asked a crucial question. “Does the Dragon Temple have any gold reserves?”
Wesley didn’t hesitate to answer Charlie’s question. “Yes, we have about one and a half tons of gold reserves, which should be worth around one billion dollars.”
Charlie nodded in approval. “Good… Give them 10%, but we can’t use cash.”
Wesley reassured Charlie, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade, your subordinates understand. All transactions will be in gold, and I’ll have someone remelt the gold in advance. When the time comes, we’ll start from the gold, leaving absolutely no clues.”
Charlie smiled in satisfaction.
“If we’re going to do this, we need to go all out,” favonovel.com said.
“First, find a way to investigate how many men Blackwater has in the Middle East. Then, quietly capture two or three of them and hide them away. Next, select subordinates from the Dragon Temple who are similar in stature and age to those captured men. Make them look like Blackwater employees by using their IDs, and send them to Eastern Europe to discuss business in their place.”
Wesley was quick to respond. “Mr. Wade, what you’re saying is simple! Blackwater also has a lot of mercenaries in Syria!”
Charlie wasted no time. “Good. There’s no need to delay. You can start working on this today. Once we’ve acquired the close-in anti-aircraft guns, we need to select two to three commanding heights in the copper mine that cover each other. On these heights, we’ll build glass rooms with one-way glass and place the guns inside. This will ensure that they are always in a state of combat readiness. Once the guns lock onto the enemy, they should be able to fire through the glass.”
Charlie thought to himself, “The shells for these guns are on the black market, and they probably cost a thousand dollars a round. We’ll need three guns. If each gun fires a hundred rounds per second, that’s only 300,000 dollars per second. We’ll riddle them with rounds when the time comes!”
