Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1413 - 1,394: No warning, no negotiation.

Chapter 1413: Chapter 1,394: No warning, no negotiation.

The people of the White Shark Gang were of no use to Gao Yang; everything was settled by Satan himself.

Before carrying out any mission, Gao Yang is always keen to gather intelligence on the enemy. Conversely, he naturally wants to ensure none of his information is leaked to them.

Not having time to concoct a fake operation to confuse the enemy, Gao Yang was also too lazy to bother. For Mogilevich, he chose a straightforward approach. The only thing he needed to clarify was Mogilevich’s whereabouts, while everything else was disregarded.

The head of a gang is certainly not civilized. In terms of evilness and valor, gang members might even be worse than mercenaries.

Bullying ordinary people is one thing, but in a place where guns and cannons fly directly just to kill the enemy, in a battlefield where only violence remains, gangs facing any regular military force are like a herd of sheep waiting to be slaughtered. To a mercenary who acts before speaking, a gangster boss who talks first seems relatively civilized.

In front of the ultra-small mercenary group Satan Mercenary Corps, which is the industry’s top name, saying Mogilevich is like a fragile scholar is not an exaggeration. Today, Gao Yang was going to educate Mogilevich, letting him understand what it means for a scholar to face a soldier.

It was completely dark now. While staying at his resting place, Gao Yang took off his suit for the first time, changing into his preferred tactical gear.

Holding a helmet in one hand and standing in front of everyone, Gao Yang spiritedly said, "Check equipment!"

The sound of guns being cocked clattered, followed by the powering on of night vision devices. After checking all their equipment, voices cried out one after another declaring completion.

Having checked all the equipment, Gao Yang said loudly, "Radio communication sound test, finished."

"Normal, finished."

"Normal, finished."

It had been a long time since they’d had a proper fight. Not only did Gao Yang’s tone sound a bit excited, but so did everyone else’s. Some even sounded jubilant.

Everything was fine. Gao Yang pulled down the mask onto his face with his right hand, tilted his head back and forth so only his eyes and mouth were exposed, placed the helmet on his head with his left hand, and shouted, "Guys, get ready to move out!"

Just then, Yake, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said, "Boss, the White Shark Gang’s headquarters nightclub has been attacked."

Gao Yang waved his hand dismissively and said loudly, "Ignore that, ask Leonard about the target’s situation."

Yake was sitting at a table in one corner of the living room, wearing a headset and facing two computers. Besides the computers, there was a high-powered radio and six phones lined up. A wire connected the radio to an antenna on the roof’s repeater tower, cooperating with a vehicle-mounted mobile repeater tower that enabled him to receive radio signals from most of Kiev. There was also an MP7 submachine gun at the table’s corner.

After putting down a phone, Yake pressed the talk button on his headset and said in a deep voice, "Leonard, is the mouse still in the hole?"

"The little mice go in and out, the big mouse always stays in the hole."

With the repeater in place, Gao Yang’s walkie-talkie could also receive signals from Number Thirteen, so Yake didn’t need to relay the message. Gao Yang directly said through the walkie-talkie, "Very good, keep an eye on the big mouse and wait for us."

Number Thirteen’s voice was low as he said, "Now let me tell you about the mouse hole. Approximately three hundred meters along the line from the entrance are surveillance cameras with night vision. Within one hundred meters of the entrance is an infrared defense system that will trigger an alarm if breached. The infrared is one meter above the ground to prevent small animals from triggering false alarms. Also, there might be vibration detectors in the surrounding area near the mouse hole, but I’m not sure. There are plenty of little mice at the entrance, just outside. That’s the situation. When will you arrive?"

Gao Yang replied softly, "We’ll head over once the mousetrap is delivered to us. It won’t take long, be patient. I have a question, how did you get this intelligence?"

Number Thirteen said in a low voice, "I have eyes, I can see what their security measures are like at a glance, nothing much to say."

"Alright, wait a moment, we should arrive at the scheduled time. We’ll be in touch."

Ending his conversation with Number Thirteen, Gao Yang raised his wrist to check the time. At that moment, Yake picked up a vibrating phone, connected the call, and immediately said to Gao Yang, "Boss, Andre’s people are here."

Gao Yang chuckled and said, "Right on time at eleven o’clock, guys, let’s go!"

Gao Yang handled his gun, and was the first to step out the door, feeling quite invigorated.

As they walked out the door, Taylor spoke in a muffled voice, "Why set the first line of defense at a distance of three hundred meters? It’s too close, what’s the point?"

Albert laughed and said, "Because that’s just a gangster’s house, not a combat command center, buddy. Why do you have to paint your face full of camo? Masks are so much more convenient."

Taylor shook his head and said, "No, I hate the feeling of a mask covering my nose. Besides, field troops don’t wear masks, it’s the SWAT who wear masks, Special Forces use camouflage."

Taylor’s view stirred public outrage. Cui Bo sneered, "Nonsense! If you have to wear camouflage, it only proves you’re stupid! After a fight, we just take off our masks and we’re done, but you? After a five-minute battle, you have to wash your face for an hour, dumbass!"

Whether it’s a mask or camouflage paint, it’s all just for disguise. However, Taylor wasn’t wrong; indeed, field troops apply camouflage paint to their hands and faces, while SWAT or anti-terrorist units wear masks.

Satan Mercenary Corps are accustomed to wearing masks only because they grew used to it during training in Israel, and not exposing the nose with a mask is indeed suffocating, but it’s convenient. Camouflage paint is extremely difficult to wash off, so unless it’s a long-term mission in the wild, wearing a mask is more convenient.

Another advantage of wearing a mask is that with modern technology, even if the human eye cannot recognize a camouflage-painted face, some instruments, such as holographic photography, can capture human faces and restore them. Although the chances of encountering such a thing during a battle are slim, it’s not impossible, especially if you’re being watched by someone with an agenda.

For soldiers fighting for the country, these are not problems. But for mercenaries or other people who need to stay out of the limelight, it’s better to cover their faces with masks.

Some people prefer masks, others like camouflage paint. Stick to what you are used to. It’s just that in the Satan Mercenary Corps, most people have become accustomed to using masks, but Albert really wanted Taylor to change his habit.

"Buddy, wear a mask. Look, we all wear masks, only you painted your face like a clown. Don’t you find it troublesome? Also, why not keep in line with us? Buddy, I think next time we undertake a mission like this, we should all switch to skull masks. When I was a professional wrestler, I wore a skull mask, and let me tell you, it’s especially intimidating!"

Eileen whispered, "I think it’s silly, but I don’t mind trying."

Cui Bo excitedly said, "I think it’s doable, I like the idea. How about we buy the masks first and then look for the target’s trouble? I think it’s an awesome idea!"

Gao Yang had already reached the front door, but hearing the people behind him going on endlessly about masks, he turned his head and snapped, "Are you crazy? Wearing a conspicuous white mask, afraid the enemy won’t notice us?"

After speaking, Gao Yang swung open the large iron gate. Parked by the roadside were six cars. After glancing inside one of them, Gao Yang waved his hand, "Get in, let’s move out."

The car doors parked at the gate opened, and Andre’s head popped out from the passenger seat. He looked around and asked, full of confusion, "Who’s Ram?"

Gao Yang said in a deep voice, "Why did you come in person? Didn’t you say you had something to take care of?"

Andre laughed and said, "I wanted to see how you guys fight, and besides, it’s been a long time since I’ve experienced such a big scene. I want to follow along for the excitement."

Everyone quickly got into their cars, grouped by team. Gao Yang, watching as everyone boarded, pointed to a medium-sized van at the back of the convoy, and whispered, "Is the mousetrap on it?"

Andre paused and said, "Mousetrap? Oh, you mean the rocket launcher? Yes, it’s in that car. Buddy, it’s a rocket launcher, why use code names?"

Gao Yang opened the rear car door and got in, then whispered, "Use code names during operations, it’s a habit, now drive."

The car started moving, and from the passenger seat, Andre turned his head back and asked with interest, "Buddy, what’s your plan?"

Gao Yang unhesitatingly said, "Go to Mogilevich’s house and take him out."

"Just that simple?"

"What else? Sit down with Mogilevich for a chat, have a drink, and then take him out?"

Andre shrugged and said, "You’re exaggerating a bit, but it’s almost like that. Warn first, negotiate, and if it fails, then fight."

Gao Yang said in a deep voice, "That’s your way of doing things. We don’t warn, we don’t negotiate, we just go straight to action."

Andre nodded and said, "True, we mainly do business, using force as a last resort. But for you guys, you’re the ultimate measure, so it’s certainly different. Oh, don’t say I’m too inflexible, I just got used to negotiating before fighting. Even in the arms business, if we all handled it like you do, with disagreements and no warning, business wouldn’t be possible anymore."

Gao Yang asked in confusion, "The other side has already declared war, isn’t that warning enough?"

Andre shook his head and said, "Hey, that’s not how you say it. Even in war, you have to give the other side a chance to surrender. You guys don’t even greet, not leaving a chance for surrender, just go for the kill, it’s too extreme. We usually don’t do it this way." (To be continued.
