Kabul, Ahan branch of the Mai military's overseas operations joint command.
In the command room hidden deep underground, dozens of technicians in military uniforms sat in front of consoles, staring intently at hundreds of screens.
The red and green LED indicators flashed continuously, and the atmosphere was tense and dignified.
As the world's most powerful country, Merican has many military bases overseas. Although it suffered a lot in the Afghan War, its ambition for this war-torn land has never disappeared.
This headquarters, located underground at the Mairican Embassy in Kabul, has jurisdiction over all Mairucan military bases in Afghanistan and can dispatch elite troops into battle at any time.
But just tonight, the special operations unit directly under the Ahan Command of the Mai Army suffered unprecedented heavy losses.
Two armed helicopters were shot down, and many elite special forces soldiers were killed.
After paying such a heavy price, not even the enemy's body has been found.
Maybe he is still buried in the ruins of the hotel, maybe he escaped...
Colonel Doug Williams, the top commander of the Ahan Command, looked at the violently shaking video picture on the main screen with an extremely serious expression.
The video being played was captured by the body recorder of a soldier from the special operations team of the Afghan Security Department and transmitted back to the joint command headquarters in real time.
In the picture, the special operations team was attacked by an enemy covered in dark black scales in the hotel corridor. The latter was holding an AK47 and his marksmanship was extremely accurate, killing him with a headshot!
The special forces of the Ministry of Security did not fight back at all. However, the bullets they fired hit the opponent's body without causing any damage, and could not even interfere with the latter's actions.
Just a few seconds later, the soldier carrying the recorder was also shot dead, and the video stopped abruptly.
After a pause of 1 second, a new video starts playing.
This time, it was replaced by a special operations unit directly under the headquarters. The combat effectiveness is not that of elite warriors of SEALs.
Doug Williams watched his elite men rush into the hotel, search floor by floor, and then inexplicably collapse on the fourth floor.
Doug Williams even heard his men grunting!
This scene was so funny that even though he had seen it once before, it still made veins protrude on the forehead of the colonel of the Mai Army and he clenched his fists involuntarily.
But after anger comes fear.
That demon-like enemy appeared again.
The subsequent video was interrupted, and all the cameras mounted on the heads of these elite warriors were destroyed.
Doug Williams knew very well that there was no chance of them surviving!
What this Mai army colonel feared was not the death of his men, but that he did not know what kind of methods the enemy used to make the soldiers wearing gas masks fall into coma and sleep.
If such methods or weapons were used in a real war, it would undoubtedly be a nightmare for the Mai army!
The next moment, a portrait photo was displayed on the big screen.
Surprisingly, it was Gao Jing.
Or to be more precise, Gao Jing after the transformation!
"Joander Ward, identity unknown, nationality unknown, age unknown."
The adjutant standing next to Doug Williams said in a deep voice: "I showed up in Kabul a week ago and checked into the Alhad Hotel. During this period, I purchased a full set of Ahan identity documents through Abu Abiq."
After a pause, he continued: "Three days ago, Joanne Ward found Gassani Hart and ordered a large number of weapons and equipment from the latter. The intelligence from the Afghan Security Department returned, and this morning began
Operation closing net."
"But Ghassani was well prepared, and the arresting force sent by the Afghan Security Ministry was defeated."
"And Joanne Ward returned to the Erhard Hotel. The Afghan Security Department applied for backup support from us and wanted to capture Joanne Ward. After they failed, our special operations team was dispatched."
The Afghan Security Ministry is nominally an Afghan military agency, but in fact it is controlled by the Maijun Joint Command, and the special operations forces under its jurisdiction are also equipped and trained by the Maijun.
To put it bluntly, it is a local dog raised by Maijun!
Doug Williams stared at the high scene on the screen for a long time with extremely sinister eyes.
After a long time, he asked in a solemn voice: "Has our casualty report come out?"
The adjutant lowered his head: "Currently, there are 17 killed, 5 missing, and no one injured."
The dead and missing are composed of the pilots of the two crashed armed helicopters, combat personnel and special forces members. Because the ruins of the hotel are still being cleared, the missing will soon be included in the death list.
Doug Williams asked with a deadpan expression: "The body of Joanne Ward hasn't been found yet?"
The adjutant lowered his head: "No."
Doug Williams nodded.
His intuition told him that Joanne Ward most likely used some special means to escape from the Erhard Hotel.
Even if all the ruins of the hotel are cleared, there is no chance of finding the other party's body.
With such heavy casualties and no results achieved, the on-site commander of the special force cannot escape responsibility. He, the highest commander, cannot blame the situation and must be held accountable by his superiors.
The Mai army colonel, a former combat hero, clenched his fists again.
He didn't want to leave the land where he had fought for many years in a humiliating way.
"Notify the Afghan Security Department to issue the most wanted warrant for Joanne Ward and Gassani Hart!"
"Immediately seal all information and videos related to Joanne Ward and record them as Class A confidential files!"
"The search for missing persons continues..."
Doug Williams said with unspeakable fatigue in his voice: "They are all the best fighters."
These best warriors did not die in real combat.
Doug Williams secretly made up his mind.
He wants to find Joanne Ward and make the latter pay the price he deserves!
But the Maijun colonel didn't know that Gao Jing had already arrived near the Ahan border at this moment.
Of course Gao Jing didn't know that a well-known hawk in the Mai army vowed to make him pay the price.
Even if I know, I won't care.
Gao Jing gained a lot from this trip to Ahan and was satisfied with the results.
The only regret is that the identity I finally bought with money will be invalidated, and I will have to get it again in the future.
Joanne Ward's appearance can no longer be used, and he has to reshape a new face.
Of course there is no need to rush.
Gao Jing set up a tent in a sheltered area at the foot of the mountain, got into his sleeping bag and fell asleep soundly.
