1165 It's not enough to plug your teeth, it's not because you don't want to save the boss
Abu Dhabi is a city built on the seaside like Dubai, but because of the different national strengths of its respective countries, it is a more promising city than Dubai.
In the woods of a ten-kilometer-long beach house on the seaside, William walked out of the invisible spaceship and saw Habibi, who had lost a lot of weight, and 007 Craig, who always kept a smile.
"Good evening, boss".
"Good evening, Mr. Devonshire."
William smiled and shook hands with the two of them, "Have you found the person?"
Happy's originally smiling face couldn't help but darken, and he shook his head and said, "Not yet.
However, we have received definite information that Mr. Stark was captured by a leader named Zara, a force that only arose two years ago."
William, who had known everything for a long time, nodded and suddenly asked, "How long has it been since Stark's mouth was captured?"
Happy was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's been 41 days, Mr. Devonshire."
"41 days," William pretended to touch his chin with his hand and said thoughtfully, "It's been so long and I haven't received any message asking for ransom or asking for technology to be replaced.
Now suddenly someone said that Stark was captured by someone, could it be...".
"no, I can not".
Although Happy said this, he was actually muttering in his heart.
There has been no definite and useful information for so long, and now someone is suddenly offering a reward of 100 million US dollars. This is indeed a bit unusual.
Otherwise, he would not have asked Craig again and again, and would have definitely asked William to come in person.
The reason is to let William, the big boss who provided the money, make the decision.
Otherwise, he would not dare to actually hand over 100 million US dollars to the person who sent the message.
After all, all the expenses and commissions for inquiring about information and finding people were paid by William.
Seeing that Happy was so frightened that he was stammering and had no idea, William smiled and looked at 007 Craig.
Craig shrugged, "I'm 70% sure that Tony Stark is still alive. At this time, he should be in a small city in the desert, or in a cave in a mountain col.
Draw blueprints or build weapons for the person named Zara.
Otherwise, these anti-American forces will definitely expose Stark's body to attack the United States."
"Well, that makes sense." William nodded, "As long as Stark is really captured by Zara, the commission can be paid to the person who provided the information.
Anything else?"
Happy looked at Craig and saw that he was silent, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "While we would like to ask you to send out a large number of drones to search,
Hire some mercenaries and attack valuable targets within his sphere of influence in the desert to try to lure him out."
William frowned when he heard this. He really hired a large number of people to attack Zara. It's hard to say he didn't win.
If the mercenaries win, Stark's situation will be even more dangerous.
But considering that Stark is always under Sunday's watch, it doesn't matter if he gives it a try.
I gave Happy a total of 200 million US dollars, but it has been almost a month and a half, and the fat man has only spent 30 million US dollars.
If Stark is rescued now and repaid ten times, it will only be 300 million. How can this be done?
It's not even enough to fill the gap between your teeth.
No matter what, we have to make back the money we spent on buying Wembley Stadium and sending people to Mars to make movies several times over.
"Ten drone aircraft carriers will arrive later. As for the mercenaries,"
After pretending to think for a while, William said to Craig,
"Since we want to attract Zara to appear, we can't just engage in a small-scale battle. We can directly hire all the mercenary teams active on the desert earth.
Maybe when these people are looking for targets, they will be lucky enough to meet Stark directly."
"Understood, boss".
Craig nodded, thinking about catching Zara as soon as possible and ending the task of eating sand in the desert.
Otherwise, unless he stays in Abu Dhabi, he doesn't want to go to the desert hinterland, that kind of ghost place.
Probably because he doesn't trust the American army in the desert base, and the efficiency of the American army is not as high as his after so long.
After Happy sent William away and called Pepper, neither of them mentioned asking the Mi Army to help.
With money to open the way, and Craig, who has been 007 for almost ten years, is it not easy to hire hyenas who are paid to fight?
Five hours later, between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning that day, three independent mercenary teams attacked three small villages in the desert.
The sneak attack killed more than twenty of Zara's men. While these hyenas ransacked three villages, they also killed and destroyed all the men and the weapons they collected before leaving.
A few hours later, as the sun had just risen, Zara, who was sleeping in a cave in an unknown mountain col in the heart of the desert, was awakened by a knock on the door.
Holding back his anger and opening the door, he saw a fat man saying in panic, "Chief, something happened. Our four villages on the border were attacked by unknown forces, and all the people stationed there were killed."
Upon hearing this, Zara instantly became irritable and angry, "Who did this?"
When Zara stared at him, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he stammered, "According to the accounts of the living people, he should be a mercenary."
"mercenary?"
Zara was stunned for a moment, and then thought that the underground world has not been peaceful at all these past few decades.
The price tag of US$100 million made many people excited.
If he hadn't transported Stark to the heart of the truly desolate and inhabited desert, and only let a dozen or so closest people know about it,
He also cut off external communication here so that his subordinates did not know about the 100 million US dollars.
Maybe he has been betrayed long ago.
But now three villages were attacked at about the same time. The people who wanted to save Stark must have found some clues, suspected him, and started testing?
Otherwise, those forces in the desert area that have money and weapons will only recruit local people with a stronger sense of belonging to fight.
No, if it was definitely him, then the soldiers who showed up must be American soldiers, and they wouldn't do it so rashly, so that he would be alert.
It seems that everything is not at its worst yet.
"What's the progress of Stark's Jellicho missile production?"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "I heard from the doctor named Ethan that half of the progress has been completed.
If we can get some more processing machinery, we should be able to complete it in a month."
Zara, who started to feel worried and nervous, said with a frosty face, "No, we must speed up."
Zara knew very well that since the other party had begun to test, there would only be more and more battles in the future.
If we don't keep track of the progress of weapon construction and record the whole process, Stark may have to be transferred again at some point.
It will be more troublesome and dangerous then.
A dozen armed men in somewhat shabby clothing, armed with guns, surrounded Zara into the cave where Stark was imprisoned.
Hearing the noise outside the iron door, Stark and Ethan, who was wearing glasses, immediately packed up the drawings and various parts of the steel armor on the wooden table.
After packing up, there was a creak, and the heavy iron door was opened from the outside. In just over a month, Stark, who had lost a lot of weight, quickly stood up and walked to the open space in the middle of the cave to stand.
As soon as a dozen militants carrying weapons came in, an incomprehensible desert voice came. Ethan quickly helped Stark translate, "They want to know when the missile will be ready."
Stark, who had already thought of his words, pretended to be embarrassed and explained, "Even hand-made spears require mechanical equipment, let alone making missiles.
If you want to speed up the progress, you have to give me machine tools and other equipment.
Otherwise, not only would I have to build missiles, but I would also have to build the equipment to build missiles myself, and it would be strange if the progress could be so fast.”
After hearing what Ethan translated back, all the desert people couldn't help but look at Zara. Zara, who understood Stark's words, thought about it with a straight face and left without saying a word.
After walking out of the cave, Zara asked her subordinates with a gloomy face, "Do you think Stark is lying to me?"
The subordinate said carefully, "Boss, boss, I don't know anything else, but Stark and Ethan have been forging iron from time to time this month, and have made a lot of weird things."
Zara's face darkened. He really wanted to bring machine tools, but all the countries in the desert area, let alone industrialization, had no industry at all.
And except for coastal desert cities, machine tools are different in the desert hinterland. Even if there are machine tools, there is no suitable electricity.
Zara thought for a while and then said to the fat subordinate, "Send someone to check out the nearby handmade weapon workshops and bring back some handmade machinery."
The men nodded quickly, and then watched Zara drive away with hundreds of people.
As time went by, Happy hired more and more people, and the battles within Zara's sphere of influence were only sporadic battles from the beginning.
It soon developed into a situation where the mercenaries were sniping and shooting black guns during the day, and at night they were using various auxiliary equipment such as night vision goggles purchased and shipped by Happy to carry out sneak attacks.
In just one week, Zara was devastated by various sneak attacks and assassinations. After more than two hundred of his men died, he had to start forcibly recruiting troops around him and rely on his numerical advantage to encircle and suppress the exposed mercenaries.
This method really worked, at least in the subsequent battles, his men also killed several mercenary teams.
But when there were more people, the weapons in his hands began to become scarce, and then he thought of Obadiah Stane.
But this time, in addition to missiles, rocket launchers, and mortars, he asked for a total of 50,000 AKs and 20 basic ammunition.
It would be a ghost if Obadiah agreed, but when he received a photo of Stark the next day, he was furious and had to agree after calming down.
But it is true that he is a super arms dealer, but Obadiah can't even remember whether he has sold anything, ak, this kind of garbage in his eyes.
Except for private purchases, the United States doesn't know where to find 50,000 AKs and supporting ammunition.
Besides, how do you transport it in at this time?
Looking for William?
This is impossible. Wouldn't it be clear that Stark was kidnapped by someone else? What's more, even if William helps, the price will definitely be ten times more expensive than asking a black market arms dealer.
When he thinks of arms dealers, Obadie can't help but think of Yuri Orlov, who has been selling weapons in desert areas and Africa all year round.
As long as the money is available, there is no small weapon that Yuri dare not sell. What's more, this mysterious customer not only readily paid the money in advance, but also said that it would be delivered to the desert area within three days, and he would receive the same amount of money.
Three days later, Zara received nearly fifty vehicles, including weapons and ammunition, and began to fully arm his men.
But he didn't expect that he would appear in villages so frequently and be spotted by drones high in the sky without any surprise.
That night, on a rocky hill one kilometer away from the village where Zara stayed, Craig, wearing a camouflage uniform, observed the village in the distance with a high-powered telescope.
Just as he finished his observation, he put on a fully enclosed bulletproof helmet.
Through the smart frame on the helmet, I checked the delta-wing drone in the sky, set the entry and exit routes, and planned to leave.
Sunday's voice came from the earphones, "Mr. Craig, I must remind you that England has no right to act here.
Once you are discovered, rounded up, and hunted down, we can only ask the Americans two hundred kilometers away for help."
Craig looked back in surprise and saw the Kun fighter jet hiding on the hill.
See the fighter plane displayed on the smart frame, look at the fully bulletproof camouflage uniform on your body, and touch the fully enclosed bulletproof helmet on your head.
Then he clenched his fist and felt that even with a dagger, he could kill all the militants in the village below.
But Sunday still gave him this reminder. If Craig didn't understand, he wouldn't be 007 who could live for ten years.
And in the past forty days, he actually knew that William might not want to find Stark so soon.
Otherwise, since he only saw the tip of the iceberg of William's power, he would think that looking for someone in a place like the desert would be too much.
It will definitely be difficult for others, but for William, it is really not that difficult.
If the delta-wing drone aircraft carriers in the sky were dispatched earlier, there would be no need for ten such aircraft carriers, only three.
Thirty-six delta wings would only take about a week to thoroughly investigate any place suitable for human habitation within 500 kilometers of the location where Stark was attacked.
Now, within four days of the appearance of ten drone aircraft carriers, even Zara, the leader of the militants, was found directly.
Thinking of this, Craig was shocked.
Nm, it's not my boss, he already knows where that guy Stark is being held.
After feeling secretly suspicious in his heart, Craig couldn't help but think of a week after he met Happy and acted together.
When he returned without success due to worry and hesitation, Happy, probably exhausted, suddenly burst out and muttered that Mr. Devonshire's reward was ten times that, and he couldn't just let it go.
When Craig thought about it now, he felt that his boss probably disliked the fact that the expenditure was too little. Less than 100 million US dollars had been spent on the 200 million US dollars in cash, so he was not allowed to take action.
"Understood," he replied to Sunday. Craig was about to leave when he saw figures flashing in the village. Zara came out surrounded by a dozen people carrying aks.
Pressing a button on the helmet "let the delta wing lower, I want to hear what they have to say".
"Okay, Mr. Craig."
Three seconds later, a translated voice reached Craig's ears.
When he heard that a group of mercenaries had been captured by Zara's people, and Zara planned to take people to the hinterland of power 240 kilometers away to personally execute these mercenaries,
Craig's expression was stunned. How dare such a bold mercenary dare to go directly into the enemy's hinterland.
Are talented people bold fools or opportunists?
Craig shook his head. Now there are only three people in the team who have been captured alive. They are 100% idiots.
To be saved or not to be saved?
But his long career as a spy and assassin made him just say it was a pity and not intend to pay attention to the matter.
