Mercenary’s War
Chapter 674 - 674 666 Ready to Get to Work

674: Chapter 666 Ready to Get to Work 674: Chapter 666 Ready to Get to Work Gao Yang had only made a suggestion, which included himself, but no one really expected much from it, especially since Ivan’s team was short-handed.

The only ones who could go to the hospital in an attempt to find information were Cape Town police.

No one had anticipated that the most crucial piece of information would actually come from the hospital.

About an hour after Ivan ordered a search starting from the hospital, Sergei, who was in charge of communication in the next room, nearly burst out.

“We have a lead!

Cape Town University Affiliated Hospital!

Someone was admitted to Cape Town University Affiliated Hospital last night, then a patient underwent a magnetic resonance imaging scan under strict protection, and after that, they performed a direct coronary intervention on the patient and used at least one heart stent.

All medical personnel who were involved in the patient’s rescue were evacuated from the hospital at around 5 a.m.

this morning.

Someone saw it; it was many armed people who took them away!”

After Sergei hurriedly finished speaking, Uriyangko immediately shouted loudly, “Grand Ivan!

It must be Grand Ivan!”

Ivan also became excited and exclaimed, “Grand Ivan has a bad heart.

The examinations last night were done in strict isolation and protection, and all the doctors who had contact were taken away.

It must be Grand Ivan!

Otherwise, even if it were the President of South Africa going to the hospital for a check-up, they wouldn’t take the doctors away.”

Uriyangko said urgently, “Check!

Follow this clue.”

Ivan rubbed his hands and said anxiously, “I don’t know how Grand Ivan is doing.

If the person who went to the hospital was really him, then his condition must be very bad.”

Uriyangko spoke gravely, “There should be no problem.

If Grand Ivan had died, there would be no need to take those doctors away.”

Ivan immediately urged Sergei, “Follow this lead.

Direct our main manpower to investigate this lead.”

Sergei started making calls again, while Ivan muttered to himself, “Cape Town University Affiliated Hospital is one of the best hospitals in the world for heart disease treatment.

The world’s first heart transplant was performed there.

Grand Ivan had been there for check-ups before.

If he really did have a heart attack, he should be okay.

I think he should be okay.”

Uriyangko shouted, “Grand Ivan is definitely fine.

And you heard, they performed surgery and placed a heart stent.

Grand Ivan absolutely won’t have a problem.

Rest assured, now we have to find him!”

After comforting Ivan, Uriyangko pondered for a moment and said seriously, “I think, there’s a very high chance that the person who went for the hospital check-up is Grand Ivan.

If so, following the hospital’s lead, we will definitely find Grand Ivan.

Maybe we’ll know his whereabouts soon.

We need to prepare for Grand Ivan’s rescue operation now, we can’t delay, the longer we wait the harder it gets.”

Ivan nodded repeatedly and said, “Exactly, it’s time to prepare.

Once we’ve confirmed Grand Ivan’s whereabouts, if we can make a move, we will rescue him immediately!”

After he finished speaking, Ivan looked at Gao Yang, his face filled with excitement, “Gao, having you guys here is a huge help.

In the end, we have to rely on your strength.”

Uriyangko also said urgently, “Gao, now is not the time to be polite.

I’ll be straightforward; among our current personnel, we don’t really have those who are particularly strong in combat.

They can take to the field, but the strongest are still you guys, so you will have to be the core force.”

Gao Yang didn’t hesitate and immediately said, “Our weapons haven’t arrived yet.

Give us something to use now.”

Ivan, excited, said, “Everything is here.

Whatever you need, we have.

Come this way.”

Ivan walked to a room, pushed the door, and entered, then said urgently, “There are many things here, take whatever you can use.”

Gao Yang entered the room and felt as if he had walked into an armory, which in fact, was exactly what it was.

In a room of about a hundred square meters, shelves were filled with guns, boxes upon boxes of bullets, rocket launchers, bullet-proof vests, and even directional mines.

Gao Yang walked into the room, glanced around, and immediately instructed, “Select equipment suitable for CQB combat.

Assault team, stock up on grenades—focus on shock grenades and smoke grenades.

Weapons are at your discretion—hurry!”

After he spoke, Gao Yang looked at Ivan and said, “Night vision devices, and communication systems—where are these?

I need infrared night vision, low-light too!”

Ivan pointed to a shelf, “There are many night vision devices, both low-light and infrared.”

Everyone knew what they needed; starting with helmets and bulletproof vests, followed by night vision devices and communication systems, then came the guns and bullets, and finally, the individual specialized equipment.

As Satan’s men had just started selecting their weapons, Ivan suddenly said, “Oh, I must remind you, our opponents are very likely to be South Africa’s elite special assault forces, or even Americans.

Their protective gear is very good.

I recommend using 7.62 NATO rounds to guarantee stopping power.”

Ivan had a point, and Eileen immediately said, “I need a SIG 751 with a short barrel.

Do you have it?”

“Yes, we have SIGs.”

Li Jinfang hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’m more familiar with HK.

Do you have the HK417 short-barrel assault type?”

“Yes, we have the HK417, but only the short-barreled assault type.”

At this point, Rafael shouted, “If I can’t use the AR70, then I need a SCAR-H short-barreled type.

Where is it—oh, I found it.”

Just then, Ivan raised his voice, “Guys, this is one of Grand Ivan’s hideouts.

As the world’s largest arms dealer, you can basically find the operational weapons you need here.

The models might not be comprehensive, but we generally have all the commonly used ones.

You can search by brand for what you need.”

Because information from Grand Ivan had come so suddenly and Gao Yang and his team would join the battle in a core armed capacity, their preparations suddenly became quite urgent.

Everyone was looking for what suited them; the scene was a bit chaotic.

Frey shouted loudly, “I need to carry more grenades.

I don’t need a rifle, I want a submachine gun.

Fork, hand me an MP7.

You don’t have one?

Then give me an MP5.

I only need six magazines.

Ivan, Ivan!

Do you have the right backpack?

Find me two saddlebags and a chest rig!”

Gao picked up a pistol, the M1911A1, a Colt Government Model that he was most familiar with.

Although it had a smaller magazine capacity, the 1911A1 was the most comfortable and the best-performing pistol for him.

Gao thought that CQB combat was the most likely, so his primary weapon should be a shotgun.

He naturally chose the Benelli M4, the M1014 long-barrel version used by the United States Marine Corps.

The reason why others chose short-barreled rifles suited for assault while Gao chose the long-barreled one was because the M1014 long-barrel could hold two more rounds than the short-barreled version.

He had to take a shotgun.

A semi-automatic precision rifle needed to be ready too, just in case Gao needed it, but he was somewhat at a loss when it came to choosing the semi-automatic rifle.

Besides the Blade of Satan that Gao used, he was more familiar with the HK417.

However, there were no long-barreled HK417s here, and Gao wasn’t too comfortable with the SCAR-H.

So, after hesitating for a moment, he ultimately chose the M21 sniper rifle from the M14 rifle family.

The M21 was almost no different from the M1A that Gao had used for a long time; it didn’t require any time to get used to it and was ready to use right away.

When Gao had decided on the rifle, Cui Bo looked it over and then loudly said to Gao, “Brother Yang, what should I use?

There’s no Barrett here.

For large calibers, there are only the McMillan TAC-50 and AW50, no semi-automatics.

Should I use a large caliber or a medium caliber?”

Gao thought for a moment and said, “Large caliber, we need to have a large caliber.

Take the TAC-50, and also prepare a SCAR-H.

We’ll decide which to use depending on what’s needed at the time.”

After examining the machine guns, Glolov turned to Ivan and asked, “How come there’s no M60?”

Ivan shrugged and said, “No M60.

We have the M240, and also the PKM and RPK.

Oh, and the improved version of the MG3, the MG3kws.”

At this moment, Tommy shouted, “I won’t take the mortar.

There’s none here anyway.

I’ll take a few Directional Mines.

Big Dog, I’ll get you a barrel and a belt of ammo to be your assistant gunner.”

After hesitating for a moment, Glolov replied, “Alright then, I’ll use the MG3.

Comparatively speaking, this gun is better, mainly because the barrels are very easy to switch out.”

Gao looked at Glolov and asked, “I thought you would use the PKM.

You’re okay with the MG3, right?”

Golov smiled confidently and said, “There isn’t a machine gun in the world that I can’t use, nor one that I can’t handle well.”

As they talked, they continued to put on and attach the weapons they would use.

Soon, Gao and his team were fully armed.

Gao had prepared two sets of combat gear, one specifically for indoor operations and another possibly for mid-to-long-range engagements.

He just needed to determine the type of operation to undertake, then grab a set and go.

Once they had finished preparing, Gao returned to the living room and addressed Uriyangko and Ivan, “Any new developments?”

Uriyangko shook his head, “Not yet.

It might take some more time.”

At that moment, Ivan suddenly said, “I think I need to find two people.

They are professionals and might be useful, although their fees aren’t low.

Alright, perhaps we won’t need them, but it’s better to have them come here as quickly as possible and be prepared.”

Ivan went off to do his own thing while Gao checked his watch and said, “Arrange a room for us to rest, and prepare some food as well.

We need to rest a bit and get our bodies and minds into optimum condition.”(To be continued.
