Chapter 383 - 365: Hit Wildly and Randomly
"American Stinger, Russian Needle-S, and now a French Mistral."
The so-called influence was manifested here, Grasse provided American missiles, Sherkin procured two sets of Russian missiles himself, and Marina supplied the Mistral.
We were still missing the UK’s Starlight Portable Air Defense Missile, as well as Northeastern University’s Vanguard, Red Blossom, and the FN Series.
Three out of the Five permanent, that should be enough.
The British’s sudden interference certainly escalated things, but it didn’t make it too complex, it was merely a jump from targeting one helicopter to seven.
When Gao Yi and his powerful backers were determined to shoot down the US helicopter outside the embassy, adding a UK one into the mix was inconsequential.
One or seven didn’t matter anymore.
The French changed their usually slow and flamboyant attitude, but this might be related to the fact that all the people who came belonged to the French Foreign Legion. Within an hour after hanging up the phone, a team of people of diverse skin colors, none of whom looked French, arrived.
No need for chatter, no need for pleasantries, this wasn’t the time to socialize. Just establishing unified communication was enough; not making contact was the best choice.
"You go to the northwest corner; fire the missiles as ordered. After firing, withdraw immediately, do not engage with anyone, and avoid conflicts if intercepted. Tell me, and I will arrange a safe exit for you."
