Chapter 1181: Chapter 990: Flee at the Mere Sight of the Enemy’s Approach_2

For example, this time, the Aviation Combat Brigade and air defense forces that were procured from Shao Yigu wanted to come to this Base, and that meant passing through several countries!

This had to be done in the name of Burkina Faso to communicate with those countries; otherwise, it would definitely be considered a violation of other countries’ airspace and could lead to a major incident!

Dozens of aircraft arrived at the main base in Burkina Faso in several batches.

Besides fighter jets, there were also many large transport planes, which did not belong to Wagner Group since they simply couldn’t afford them!

The transport planes were carrying ground personnel and those S300 systems.

The main base was especially lively today, bustling with noise, and even Androf’s usually impassive face was brimming with a smile.

The Boss certainly had the strength and the knack for business!

It was incredible how he had managed to get his hands on an entire Aviation Combat Brigade and an air defense battalion!

This was just absurd...

From now on, the Wagner Group could be considered to have a complete "navy, army, and air force" regular military force.

In terms of strength, it should be ranked among the top countries worldwide...

Blackwater Company was no longer a match for them whatsoever!

......

With Wagner making such a show of bringing in so many fighter jets and transport planes, Blackwater Company, which had been keeping a close eye on them, could certainly not be kept in the dark.

Prince from Blackwater had also personally arrived at the temporary base in Africa to oversee operations.

Moreover, Androf’s worries proved to be justified, as during this time, Prince had also been busy arranging for over twenty fighter jets from his company to be transferred over.

He also brought over a large number of heavy types of equipment!

Prince was ambitious, intending to engage in a tough battle with Wagner!

Confident that his own weapons and equipment were a bit more advanced, particularly his overwhelming airpower, he planned to settle things once and for all and drive Wagner’s influence out of Africa!

He had already gathered very detailed intelligence on Wagner.

To be honest, in terms of ground forces, Blackwater really couldn’t compete with Wagner, which had far fewer personnel.

Wagner was a behemoth with tens of thousands of personnel, while Blackwater only had about half the number of Wagner’s workforce.

But Blackwater had several dozen fighter jets!

These fighter jets would have an absolute advantage in a battle between the two companies, turning Wagner’s armed fighter jets and transport planes into targets.

Although Wagner also possessed a fleet, which Blackwater did not have,

the trouble was that these fleets couldn’t be deployed on land...

Once Wagner was defeated, Blackwater Company could then take over their territory with ease, and the whole African continent would be theirs to roam...

......

Just as Prince was outlining a battle plan with his trusted subordinates, he received intelligence from his informants.

Before looking at the intelligence report, Prince, holding a beer glass, was chatting and laughing with a few of his subordinates, not taking Wagner seriously at all.

But just a glance at the report, and he froze, letting the beer glass slip from his grasp and shatter loudly on the ground.

"Boss, what’s wrong?" a confidant asked in surprise.

It was unusual to see Prince in such a state as he was always composed, even in the face of the direst circumstances, remaining unflustered and steady.

Very rarely would one witness such a reaction from him...

Prince swallowed hard, said nothing, and silently read through the report word by word.

Two sentences in particular were glaringly "eye-catching"!

Fifty fighter jets, all of them Su-27s and MiGs-29s, were said to be from a regular Russian Aviation Combat Brigade that had been disbanded and were then snapped up by Wagner.

An air defense battalion, including four complete sets of the S300...

He had only brought over twenty fighter jets, while his opponent had suddenly acquired fifty, even top models from Russia which were much more advanced than the outdated models his company had from military surplus!

What was more outrageous was the fact that they even procured several sets of Russia’s prized S300 systems?!

Is Wagner a private mercenary army, or an official regular force of Russia?!

The moment after Prince had finished reading the intelligence report, he wondered if the report was fake?

How could this be possible!

But reason told him that the information should be correct because his informant was reliable, and these reports were not difficult to verify. After all, so many fighters and transport aircraft had come over, it was impossible to fool everyone.

Moreover, Wagner had no need to hide, he estimated that very soon he would see those fighters and the S300.

"Cancel the combat plan for now, the situation has changed. Have all our combat personnel withdraw, leaving only intelligence-gathering personnel in the minefield, closely monitoring Wagner’s movements to see what their next step will be.

Additionally, do not let our fighters take to the skies these next few days, push them back into the hangar, and await further orders!"

Once he had come back to his senses, Prince, with a stern expression, issued a series of orders.

Although his subordinates were confused, they immediately executed Prince’s orders.

......

Prince did not wait long, and the next day, he confirmed that yesterday’s intelligence report was indeed correct.

Whether it was the number of fighters, the models, or that outrageous S300, they were really all transported to Wagner’s main base in Burkina Faso.

And Wagner began to follow official procedures, preparing to deploy fighters and S300 to the disputed minefield...

After looking through the second report, Prince’s face turned ashen.

He had grandly mobilized his troops, rallying the entire company to march into the African continent.

But in this first battle, he had encountered a tough nut to crack!

And the opponent was too strong; even if he were to break his teeth, he probably would not make a dent...

What should he do next...

Prince was not bewildered; he knew the disparity between both sides was now starkly apparent!

What he had originally relied on were the fighters, which could completely dominate the air superiority, to bombard and crush the opponent.

But now the opponent not only had stronger aerial power with more and more advanced types of fighters,

they also had anti-aircraft missiles!

This was just too exaggerated!

There was no way this battle could be fought.

That would be tantamount to sending his brothers to their deaths...

It has to be said that Prince, who had grown Blackwater Company to such a scale, was indeed a fierce figure.

After realizing the futility of the situation, he made a decisive "cut off the arm to save the body," where matters of face and profit were no longer of importance in light of life.

If a defeat was certain, then there was no point in fighting.

Therefore, before Wagner’s "reinforcements" had even arrived at the disputed minefield, the Blackwater personnel had quietly retreated...

Not just back to a temporary base—it was a full retreat from the African continent!

By the time Androf received the news, Prince had already taken his Blackwater personnel back to the United States...

Furthermore, Prince was quite "stubborn," publicly stating that as long as Wagner’s men were still in Africa, Blackwater Company would not set foot on the African continent again!

Clearly, this was an admission of defeat...

Since the opponent had "surrendered," Androf, of course, would not pursue further; there was no need, as wars result in casualties!

While Wagner’s soldiers were unafraid of death, if they could fight one less battle, if fewer brothers were lost, that was better.

After all, isn’t it advocated to seek wealth in a peaceful manner?

The reason Wagner maintains such a vast fighting force is not to engage in warfare, but because with such powerful strength, others will be very "polite" and "cordial" when they see you.

Many tribal chieftains in Africa may be accustomed to being overbearing, but now even the most blustering chieftain speaks very kindly when he sees a person from Wagner, and has become more inclined to reason...

Although the conflict between Blackwater and Wagner didn’t truly occur, those who were watching these two companies understood that the outcome had already been decided!

From then on, anytime mercenary companies were mentioned internationally, Wagner would inevitably be ranked first!
