Chapter 431: Chapter 288: Conservation of Energy

The situation in Syria has undergone sudden and significant changes recently.

Since February 2018, the Syrian government forces launched a military operation dubbed "Damascus Steel," relentlessly attacking the Eastern Ghouta region on the outskirts of Damascus.

In April, they surrounded the rebels in Douma, the largest town in Eastern Ghouta, further expanding their control.

However, just when the dust seemed to be settling, Douma was suddenly hit by a suspected chemical attack that reportedly killed at least 70 people.

The rebels immediately claimed that the government forces had used chemical weapons, and several international medical monitoring and activist organizations, including the "White Helmets," promptly followed up with reports.

On April 13, the President across the ocean delivered a speech about the chemical attack, announcing a strike on Syria.

The next day, Damascus was bombed, and violent explosions were heard in many areas...

On the same day, the last batch of 4,000 rebels encircled in Douma was safely evacuated from the town in accordance with a withdrawal agreement...

"According to intelligence from various sources, the air strikes were carried out by England, US, and France. The attacks were executed by ship-launched, submarine-launched, and air-launched cruise missiles.

The Eagle Army’s GR4 Tornadoes took off from the Royal Air Force Base in Akrotiri, Cyprus, supported by four Typhoon fighter jets, and launched a total of eight Storm Shadow missiles.

The French Navy deployed a carrier strike group in the Eastern Mediterranean, consisting of one Kasha-class destroyer, one Georges Legue-class frigate, one Durance River-class supply ship, and multiple-purpose patrol ships, Aquitaine, Auvergne, and Langdoc.

From the US side, two B-1 bombers from the 34th Bomb Squadron took off from the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and launched a total of 19 JASSM missiles.

The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer Rabun and the Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser, as well as the Monterey-class cruiser stationed in the Red Sea, fired 7 and 13 Tomahawk missiles, respectively.

In the northern Persian Gulf, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer launched 23 Tomahawk missiles, and the Virginia-class submarine John Warner in the Mediterranean fired 6 Tomahawk missiles...

The total number of Tomahawk missiles launched exceeded 100.

The bombing targets included Damascus’s Barca Research Center, the Eastern Homs Xin Xinsar Building Group Warehouse, and the Sin Hinsar Building Group Bunker.

Syria responded with its Pantsir-S1, S-125, S-200, Kub, and Kvadrat air defense systems, but the interception was not effective..."

In a military base, a stern-faced officer was explaining the situation in front of a giant military map.

Fifteen special forces soldiers in desert camo sat upright and listened attentively, among them was Chu Tian.

After the officer finished briefing the intel, Chu Tian stood up, saluted him, then turned to face his team.

"This is the recent military situation in the surrounding area, and our mission this time, aside from the overt military advisory and observation duties, includes a covert operation target right here!"

Chu Tian pointed to the Eastern Ghouta Region on the map, on the outskirts of Damascus.

"Although the conflict in the Eastern Ghouta Region is drawing to a close and the government forces are securing victory, there are still multiple rebel factions in the vicinity, and these rebels are of complex composition.

Beyond the local resistance forces, a significant portion are remnants of IS, including members of the ’Frozen Soil’ organization that threaten the national security of Country Hua.

According to our intelligence, after the intensification of the Syrian civil war in 2012, the ’Frozen Soil’ organization responded to calls from IS and other extremist organizations, moving in from the borders of Afghanistan and Bajistan into Syria to join the rebel forces.

Incomplete statistics indicate there are still about 3,000 to 5,000 ’Frozen Soil’ members operating in Syria.

With IS’s defeat in neighboring regions, the risk of ’spillover’ or ’backflow’ of IS armed personnel from around the world is increasing.

Our covert mission is to head to the Eastern Ghouta area to locate a particularly dangerous group of ’Frozen Soil’ members and prevent these defeated troops from flowing back into our country, affecting the stability and prosperity of Country Hua’s northwest.

If possible, to annihilate them directly!"

Chu Tian’s expression was serious.

"Since this is a covert operation, we can’t operate openly in the identity of military personnel from Country Hua. From now on, we are an irregular special combat team from the Syrian government forces.

Considering the timeliness of the intelligence, you only have three days to familiarize yourselves with your weapons and operating environment. We will move out immediately after three days!"

Chu Tian then looked towards a black-skinned team member.

"Heizi, the language system here is complex. Any problems?"

"Arabic, Berber, Armenian, Aramaic, and Turkish. Except for Kurdish, which I’m not good at, the rest are a piece of cake!"

"Good, everyone start preparing!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After all the team members had left, the officer who had been briefing the situation gave Chu Tian a big hug, laughing.

"Old Chu, I never expected to run into you here."

"Ha ha! Nor did I expect that you would be sent here as a military observer. That’s why I couldn’t get in touch with you these past couple of years.

Last time we met was at the Red-Blue confrontation in the Eastern War Zone; it’s been over three years now. I remember at that time you were just a junior staff officer."

"A staff officer is a staff officer, what ’junior staff officer!’" the officer rolled his eyes. "It’s been over three years, but I still remember the grudge from that day!"
