A dead end! Jiang Cheng felt like he was facing a dead end. It was too difficult to break into a US Army base with more than 13000 people and bring out what he wanted!
After opening the roof window of the jeep, Jiang Cheng stood in the car and leaned his upper body out of the roof. He grabbed a pair of military binoculars and looked at the US Army base 2,000 meters away.
After a long time, Jiang Cheng sat back in the car and shook his head with a frown. "The security inside looks very tight, and the periphery of the base is a plain. This area is probably a scenic area. Once you get close, you'll be shot away. No matter if you sneak in or escape, they'll basically know where you are. There's no chance to sneak in or escape."
Zhao Hu nodded in agreement and said, "Last time, one of our brothers got close and was shot 500 meters away from the base. It was really dangerous. The enemy probably used a sniper rifle, and the bullet grazed his cheek. He almost died. The US Army doesn't shoot people away at all. Whenever someone gets close, they'll use them as practice targets. Not long ago, our brothers saw a ten-year-old kid get shot dead 600 to 700 meters away from the base."
"How's the brother who got shot?" Jiang Cheng asked with concern.
"The bullet grazed the side of his face, and his cheek and ear are missing. The bone can be seen. He's already been sent back to Huaxia for treatment. It's a minor injury, but the wound is a bit scary." Zhao Hu said with some relief, "Fortunately, he immediately laid down after getting shot and crawled back from that place."
"… That's good." Jiang Cheng was silent for a while and nodded. After thinking for a while, he said to Zhao Hu, "Drive around the base. I want to familiarize myself with the surrounding terrain."
"Yes!" Zhao Hu agreed and stepped on the gas pedal to drive around the base. The speed of the car wasn't very fast, and as he drove, he introduced the area to Jiang Cheng.
"This area is usually inaccessible, and only some people from remote villages pass by. It's even more secluded at night, but we can't just get close. The US Army base seems to have an infrared scanning device, and they'll know if anyone gets close. Maybe they're also afraid of terrorist attacks from Iraq … Also, that place, behind the wall is the prisoner camp …" Zhao Hu suddenly pointed at a wall in front of them. From the outside, it didn't look any different from other places.
Jiang Cheng looked in that direction and asked in surprise, "How did you guys know that there's a prisoner camp in this area?"
Hearing Jiang Cheng's question, Zhao Hu smiled a little awkwardly and said, "We used a drone to secretly take pictures from the air, and accidentally found that there were many people in prisoner uniforms moving around in this area. Before we could explore the other areas, the drone was shot down. It didn't do anything substantial, and instead, it alerted the enemy. In the end, it took us a lot of effort to escape their pursuit." He shook his head with a bitter smile, obviously thinking that the operation was a failure.
"It's not a big deal. The Americans must have known that someone was targeting this base. Otherwise, they wouldn't have transferred manpower and weapons from the other two bases to strengthen the defense," Jiang Cheng comforted Zhao Hu.
Jiang Cheng and Zhao Hu slowly circled around the US Army base that covered an area of ten square kilometers. Due to the long journey, it took them six to seven hours. The two of them ate some simple food in the car, and then continued to explore. The four-wheel drive off-road vehicle didn't disappoint them. Whether it was the gullies, puddles, or grasslands, they drove through everything without any problems. Other than some bumps, there were no other problems. Finally, they had a clear understanding of the situation around the US Army base.
The US Army base was surrounded by open space. There was no place to hide. If you wanted to enter or exit, you could only walk on the open road. Bullets could easily hit you.
The only place with less open space was the northwest corner of the base. There was a forest there, about 500 meters away from the base. However, don't even think about using this place as an entry point. There was already an outpost set up by the US Army in the forest, and all the facilities were very complete.
The US Army base had four entrances and exits. All of them were huge, and the security was very strict. However, only two of the exits were open. The other two were temporarily closed. Unless it was a special situation, no one was allowed to enter or leave.
The off-road vehicle that Jiang Cheng and Zhao Hu were in was parked far away from the entrance of a military base. Jiang Cheng was standing in the car, holding a pair of military binoculars and looking in that direction. He saw soldiers going in and out of the base in the distance.
"Zhao Hu, is this entrance the most commonly used by the US Army?" Jiang Cheng asked calmly as he looked in that direction with the binoculars.
"Yes, this Boland base is very close to Syria. It's almost on the border. The US Army often enters Syria from here, and the US Army from Syria comes back here to resupply. This happens once every four or five days. In addition to the US Army that is patrolling and carrying out missions in and out of Iraq, this entrance has always been open …" Zhao Hu explained slowly.
Jiang Cheng nodded gently and sighed. He put down the binoculars and sat back in the car. He said, "It doesn't work. I've circled around this base, but I can't find any place to sneak in. No, I should say that after confirming it, I'm even more certain that there's no way to sneak into this base."
Hearing Cheng Ge's words, Zhao Hu's expression turned very ugly. With Cheng Ge's military accomplishments, he actually concluded that it was impossible to sneak into this base so quickly. How were they going to get the item out? Was it possible that they had no choice but to give up? They couldn't possibly bring their brothers from the Lung Hing Society and rush in together, right? That would be like a group of rabbits rushing into a wolf's den. There would be no return!
"Cheng Ge, t-then what should we do?" Zhao Hu frowned as he looked at Jiang Cheng and asked.
"There's no other way. I'm completely helpless right now." Jiang Cheng frowned, and his expression was unusually grim. This plan was more difficult than he had imagined. Not to mention the strength of a gang from the Lung Hing Society, even a special force of two to three thousand people would most likely not be able to enter the base.
When Zhao Hu heard Cheng Ge's helplessness, he became even more depressed. After a long time, he said, "Cheng Ge, it's not that I, Zhao Hu, don't have the guts, but this operation is too difficult. Not to mention our gang, even if a country tries its best to snatch it, the chances of success are not high. The 13000 U.S. Army here is not to be trifled with. They can be defeated with a light touch. This operation … has no chance of success!"
"Zhao Hu, then what do you think we should do?" Jiang Cheng asked calmly.
"… In my opinion, why don't we just wait here? Germany and the other countries are also eyeing these things. Let them be the vanguard, and when they get their hands on it, we'll snatch it from them!"
"Hehe." Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Do you think we can easily get it back when it's in the hands of other countries?"
"This … of course it won't be easy, but at least there's some hope. Cheng Ge, look, we're facing such a solid military base. There's no hope of getting that thing. If it falls into the hands of other countries, there must be a gap in their operation plan. When that time comes, we might have a chance to succeed. Brothers, we're not afraid of dying, but we're afraid of dying for nothing, Cheng Ge!"
After a short pause, Zhao Hu continued, "It seems like there's no hope of invading this military base!"
"Hehe …" Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly. He looked at Zhao Hu and said, "Zhao Hu, don't think too highly of other countries. Unless we use a large number of troops to attack, they won't be able to do anything. If we continue to wait, I'm afraid we'll really have to wait until the American genetic modification project matures. At that time, we can only watch them celebrate."
"But now … there's no hope of sneaking in!" Zhao Hu said with a sigh.
Jiang Cheng was silent for a while and said, "Let's go back first. This isn't an urgent matter. Let's familiarize ourselves with the situation and see if we can find an opportunity."
"… Okay." Zhao Hu nodded and agreed. He stepped on the accelerator and drove the off-road vehicle to the Lung Hing Society's Iraq Operations Headquarters.
After 40 minutes, Jiang Cheng and Zhao Hu returned to the Operations Headquarters. After eating something, they went into the conference room with Ye Shaowen and Zhao Hu to discuss and inquire about the situation. Jiang Cheng also told Ye Shaowen about his judgment about the military base. However, it made Ye Shaowen sigh and become a little worried. Obviously, he had no confidence in getting the genetic modification information.
"No matter what, we have to think of a way!" Jiang Cheng said resolutely.
He had already made up his mind that he would not give up until this plan was completed. This thing was too important to China. It was like a super atomic bomb. If it was in the hands of the Americans, it would be a great threat to China. If it fell into the hands of China, it would be a great help to China's rise!
The United States was now the world's number one, and China was the only country that had the ability to threaten their position. Once the United States became strong, they would attack China vigorously. Making China poor and backward was their long-cherished wish. Only then could they sit firmly on the world's number one seat and continuously deprive other countries of their benefits to strengthen themselves.
If the Americans obtained the genetic modification results, then the military, business, science, and other fields would develop rapidly. At that time, who wouldn't submit to their tyrannical power? It was just like Iraq under their feet!
On the contrary, if China obtained the genetic modification drug, the military, business, science, and other fields would flourish. It might even replace the United States and become the world's number one country. So! This concerned the fate of his country and people. Jiang Cheng would not easily retreat. Even if he couldn't get the genetic modification information, he would destroy it!
