A helicopter descended slowly onto the drill ground of the "Falcon" Special Soldier School.
Erging from the cabin were none other than Song Heping, along with Jiang Feng and Tang Cheng.
After crossing the border with Morins's escort, Song Heping had contacted General Rama, asking him to prepare a helicopter so he could rush back to the school as quickly as possible.
anwhile, Jiang Feng and Tang Cheng had both been within Colombia, but Song Heping had urgently recalled them, instructing them to imdiately return to Venezuela and join him back at the school.
The reason for the rush was the phone call from Dominic.
The content of the call had taken Song Heping by surprise.
The instructors and security personnel left at the school had captured two CIA agents.
The situation suddenly beca complicated.
Discovering CIA agents within Venezuelan territory, and near his own school, ant only one thing—he was being targeted.
Song Heping, who had long been involved in the arms trade in South Arica, had always feared one thing: attracting CIA attention.
Even though he was now one of the military's important contractors, if the CIA caught him out, General Peter and the big shots behind him wouldn't be able to protect him.
That was why he had always been extrely cautious and secretive.
To date, not many people knew about his cooperation with ELN.
The word outside was that ELN had received support from within Venezuela, with so even suspecting General Rama.
But a character like Rama didn't fear the CIA at all. The relationships between the two countries were already very sensitive. The Aricans had long been displeased with the current Venezuelan regi and supported behind the scenes any force that could destabilize Venezuela in hopes of a color revolution.
This was also why Song Heping had chosen Venezuela as his base in South Arica.
Other South Arican countries weren't suitable.
Cuba was too small; Colombia, Brazil, and even Argentina couldn't withstand Arican pressure.
Only Venezuela was the perfect place to lie low.
Should anything happen and relations with the Aricans sour, he could retreat here, and they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Now that CIA agents had appeared near his school, the matter demanded his imdiate attention.
Not a single person from "Musician" Defense should remain in Colombian territory; they must withdraw at once.
"Old squad leader, why the rush to call us back? Things are going very well in the southern war zone!"
Jiang Feng was puzzled.
"If you don't co back now, you'll run into big trouble later."
Song Heping said while asking Tang Cheng, "Old Tang, you didn't et many people on your side, did you?"
"Not many, no more than ten." Tang Cheng, acting as a guide for another reconnaissance team, indeed didn't et many people.
"That's good," Song Heping continued. "By the way, I'll have the bonus transferred to your account when we get back."
"Thanks, boss!"
Tang Cheng's eyes creased into crescents as he smiled.
In just a few days, he had earned thirty thousand US dollars. Although the mission was extrely dangerous, the pay was generous!
Thirty thousand US dollars converted into RMB could buy him a big house in his hotown.
How could he have even dread of such inco back when he was working in his ho country?
"No need to thank , it's hard-earned money; you deserve it."
After that, he said to Jiang Feng, "Yours will be deposited too."
Jiang Feng had been with Song Heping for a relatively longer ti, and he had already earned quite a few greenbacks. Accustod to Song Heping's generosity, he waved his hand with a smile, "The money doesn't matter. Old squad leader, would you ever short ?"
Then he asked again, "Why the rush to call us back?"
Song Heping's face beca serious, "Let's go, you'll know in a mont."
Dominic and the school's instructor battalion commander, Li Sheng, ca to et them in a convertible jeep. Once in the car, Song Heping asked, "Where is the person? Where have they been detained?"
"They are locked up in the newly built ammunition depot," Dominic said.
The ammunition depot had just been constructed in the last few days; it was a temporary steel structure. According to Song Heping, the depot should have an underground section for safety reasons.
Soon, the group drove to the newly built ammunition depot.
The ammunition depot was located in a small hollow north of the school, where trees were tall and the forest dense. The location provided excellent concealnt for the depot; even planes flying overhead wouldn't be able to spot it.
Three instructors were guarding the entrance.
After greetings were exchanged, they opened the door and Song Heping and his companions entered.
"For the ti being, we don't know how to deal with these two, so we asked Dominic to contact you to co back urgently."
Li Sheng reported to Song Heping the process of finding these two individuals.
Since there was only a small town near the school, many of the school's food and vegetables were purchased there daily.
Li Sheng managed the school exactly according to the managent model of a PLA military camp.
Following the traditional PLA managent style, food for the troops was personally purchased at the vegetable markets by the company leaders. Here, there was no centralized purchasing center nor the conditions to implent one, so Song Heping asked Li Sheng to set up the company leaders following the military system, assigning one for each squadron.
Currently, with the squads not yet fully staffed and the school not officially open, the school's military managent team assigned one person each day to accompany the construction site's kitchen staff to buy vegetables in town, to familiarize themselves with the area. Once the school was established, the workers gone, and the students recruited, the company leader system would then be officially operational.
There were twenty-one instructors at the school, all of whom were retired military officers and NCOs recruited from PLA reconnaissance troops, Special Forces, or airborne troops, with extrely high military quality. One of them would go with the construction site purchasers to buy vegetables daily, and it was through this that problems were discovered.
The instructor who went to buy vegetables these two days was Xu Dalong, a retired NCO from a Special Forces unit in a major military region, with strong counter-reconnaissance and reconnaissance skills.
He suspected that soone was following him while he was shopping for vegetables.
At first, he thought he was being paranoid.
But later, when patrolling, he actually found soone moving in the dense forest near the airport, and so he reported it to battalion commander Li Sheng.
These instructors were all once formidable figures in their military units. If soone dared to infiltrate close to their school, they wouldn't have the face to say they ca from XX troops if they didn't apprehend that person.
Thus, a simple encirclent operation was conducted, and before the two individuals hiding near the airport and taking photographs could react, nearly a dozen gun barrels were almost pressed against their faces.
Xu Dalong recognized one of the individuals as the person who appeared to be trailing him while he was shopping for vegetables these past days.
Looking at the equipnt on the two, Nikon caras, satellite phones, military computers...
And two P226 pistols with silencers.
No need to ask, this was definitely a reconnaissance team.
Like wolves, more than a dozen instructors tied up the intruders and dragged them back to the school for interrogation.
It's well known that these instructors had undergone counter-interrogation training back in their service days, so the repertoire of interrogation techniques was no mystery to them.
After a session of the mory Recovery Technique, one of them couldn't stand it and confessed.
"He said they are CIA agents lurking in Venezuela, here to scout our school, especially to scout our airport's aircraft and personnel, and send photographs back to their South Arican division. We found these in their cara..."
Finishing his report, Li Sheng took the backpacks of the two n and pulled out a cara, which he handed to Song Heping.
Song Heping looked at it and scoffed, "High-end gear, not sothing the average person can afford."
He then examined the photos.
They were all long-distance shots of the hangar and nearby photos of Peterovich and Nikola, who were maintaining the aircraft.
A few angles even showed the inside of the hangar, capturing the nose of the SU-24.
Song Heping's expression turned grave.
These people were targeting the SU-24.
That ant they were suspecting the previous appearance of the SU-24 and the Thermobaric Bomb attack in Colombia were related to him.
It had to be said, this was clearly troubleso.
