Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger

Mountain Eagle wasn't clear about what exactly happened in Libya...

What he could confirm was that if the VX nerve gas bomb fell into Al-Qaeda's hands, then Death Angel, a key figure in ISIS, wouldn't gratuitously provide such deadly weapons to them.

Great White Shark Sophia said that uranium residue was found at the site in Tubruk, Libya, which instantly made Mountain Eagle realize Death Angel's true intentions.

VX nerve gas bombs are indeed terrifying, but if used in wide open areas along with issues of dosage and detonation technology, terrorists employing such chemical weapons can only cause terror attacks, and apart from sowing hatred, they do not have an existential threat to a nation.

After the Cold War, the largest chemical weapon attack globally was launched by Old Sa, with U.S. support, against the Kurds in Iraq in 1988.

The Kurdish casualties at the time were nearly twelve thousand, identified by the United Nations as an act of genocide.

Later, old America accused Iraq of possessing chemical weapons, with the goal, of course, of maintaining the US Dollar's hegemony, but in reality, the existence of chemical weapons was not unfounded.

For Old Sa's chemical weapons were developed and possessed with the support of the United States, and the attack against the Kurds was also carried out with U.S. technical support, potentially including some chemical weapons provided by the United States before 1988.

Another significant incident was the Tokyo subway attack, where Aum Shinrikyo released sarin gas at the subway station, leading to 13 deaths and 6,300 injuries.

These two most severe chemical weapon attacks sufficiently demonstrate a fact: unless chemical weapons are massively used on the battlefield, attempting to cripple a nation with them is nearly impossible.

This stuff is very evil, and the consequences of its use are severe, but aside from showcasing the user's madness, the amount of VX nerve gas America lost does not possess a strategic threat.

At most, it might explode in a densely populated area, resulting in dozens or hundreds of casualties.

Such incidents, apart from thoroughly enraging the nation where they occur, frankly, do not benefit terrorist organizations much.

In contrast, a dirty bomb is entirely different...

No matter the explosive power of this thing, as long as it detonates from a high vantage point, the dispersed radioactive dust will cover a vast area and be extraordinarily difficult to clean.

This thing isn't aimed at killing civilians but at paralyzing a city and destroying a city's economy.

Imagine what would happen if, after a dirty bomb explosion, houses previously potentially worth 100,00, 200,000 US dollars per square meter became contaminated with radioactivity?

When real estate worth becomes nil, when the city is paralyzed due to radioactive issues, when hospitals are overwhelmed, when security begins to collapse, what will that city become?

This is strategic weaponry. Only by tying down a city does ISIS, this extreme terrorist group, have the leverage to negotiate with America.

ISIS established an Islamic State in the border area between Iraq and Syria, triggered regional issues, cornered America, and forced them to begin aiding the Kurds while framing ISIS as the common enemy of humanity.

Death Angel is a core figure in ISIS; to secure the status of the Islamic State, he first has to pass the American hurdle.

A few dirty bombs sent into America would be the best bargaining chips!

This guy is unbelievably cunning. He used himself to divert the attention of Kobe's Refugee Group within Canada, covering for bomb expert Basavic to manufacture two types of mass destruction weapons in Libya and exchanged VX nerve gas bombs with Al-Qaeda for even more terrifying dirty bombs.

When Al-Qaeda prepared to use chemical weapons to attack Europe, Death Angel merely leaked a bit of information to William Hurt, forcing the Refugee Group to investigate in Europe while he vanished with the missing dirty bombs.

Kobe from the Refugee Group was deeply frustrated because he was certain Death Angel was in Canada...

Yet, William Hurt, the big boss, ordered him to go to Europe and required him to receive the terrorist named Madeleine, then fabricate a report to pin the source of chemical weapons on Libya.

As long as Kobe's report gets recognized, while the case of the missing VX nerve gas raw materials still exists, it becomes a bomb that will never detonate.

Having experienced complex encounters in Alaska, Kobe was no longer sticking to his principles like before...

He knew he couldn't outmatch powerful forces, so he chose to obey orders to preserve the existence of the Refugee Group and to give himself a chance to continue tracking Death Angel.

However, what he didn't anticipate was that after crafting the fake report and handing in his pledge of allegiance, not only did the Refugee Group's authority not diminish, but it actually increased!

This is the dirty part of politics!

Mountain Eagle didn't comfort Kobe; instead, he urged him to keep pursuing at all costs...

He had a premonition that Death Angel wouldn't let him go, and their entanglement wouldn't end here.

When that guy holds dirty bombs and starts threatening America, a mere word from him could plunge Mountain Eagle into big trouble.

The most crucial thing is that Arctic Fox is now in Syria, and if ISIS strikes, they are likely to be the prime target.

And if Arctic Fox gets attacked, there's no way he could stand by idle!

"Don't rush, maintain your pace!"

Mountain Eagle sat silently in his study for several hours, repeatedly reminding himself not to let unexpected events disrupt his rhythm.

But he just couldn't fully calm his mind down!

When Daria came into the study to invite Mountain Eagle downstairs for dinner, she was startled to see him sitting in the shadows...

Daria, who had been negotiating Mexico issues with Kate in the past two days, didn't know what happened. She cautiously approached her boss, softly saying, "Boss..."

Mountain Eagle's body trembled slightly, and his scattered pupils contracted...

Seeing Daria cautiously approaching, Mountain Eagle took a deep breath, revealed a slight smile, and said, "What's up?"

Daria didn't know why; seeing the boss's smile actually made her more nervous...

Though the boss was smiling, Daria felt a strong sense of aggression emanating from him.

Facing this unprecedented situation, Daria placed her right hand on her rapidly beating heart and slightly bowed her head, saying, "Boss, dinner is ready...

Kate and I have mostly settled things, but there are some details that still need your confirmation."

Mountain Eagle hadn't fully transitioned from his previous thoughts; he paused for a few seconds, then said, "Kate has agreed?"

Daria sensed the aggression in the boss fade, heaving a sigh of relief, saying, "Kate agreed to our plan, though she still has some hesitations concerning the issue with the Cancun Money Vault.

This may require you to convince her..."

Mountain Eagle tried to drag his thoughts back to the present, looking at Daria's expectant expression, he shook his head and said, "Go tell him, a month, I'll only give her a month to prepare...

Tiago will 'break out' in a month, the Mexico operation will commence then.

If she doesn't want to participate, then I'll do it myself...

Tell her not to get in my way!"

Saying this, Mountain Eagle got up and rubbed his hands, saying, "Notify General Sied, he has a month to prepare, get Tiago's physical condition optimal.

Daria, I'm heading north to spend some quiet time with my wife and kids...

With Blood Fox gone, the camp's management here will be entrusted to you.

'Sled' and forensic doctor Anton have gone to El Salvador to connect the issues concerning the sea prison transfer; remain in contact with them, and expedite transferring all prisoners, then move the laboratory as well.

I don't want this place in chaos when my wife and kids return!

A month, you have only a month!"

Daria felt a pressure emanating from Mountain Eagle; she straightened her body and solemnly said, "Understood, Boss!

In a month, I ensure the Brown Bear Camp will be completely calm!"
