600: Chapter 595: Arch Enemy!
Uriyangko seemed to have already anticipated Gao Yang’s call, and upon hearing Gao Yang’s words, Uriyangko spoke quickly and with conviction, “Understood, the plane is ready, and the necessary ammo and fuel are also almost prepared.
We can ship out today, and I guarantee to deliver the helicopter at the fastest speed possible.”
Gao Yang was somewhat incredulous, saying, “What’s going on?
You seem to have known for sure that I would rent a helicopter.
Why?”
Gao Yang was definitely surprised.
What Uriyangko had said implied that he had foreknowledge, even having the exact type of ammunition prepared beforehand.
If this wasn’t foresight, what was?
Uriyangko cleared his throat and said, “Ram, the war triggered by the Somali Skull Gang, or rather the small-scale combat that ensued, was originally not a concern.
But now, I can confirm that you are going to have a serious showdown with the British, and it’s going to be a fight to the death.”
Gao Yang was truly confused.
To put it plainly, his dispute with the British was over interests.
Defeat the British and drive them out of Somalia—that was all.
But what did a fight to the death imply?
It meant that they would have to fight to the end, letting not a single enemy escape.
Even defeating the enemy, but failing to wipe them out completely, would be considered a loss.
Gao Yang, who couldn’t make head or tail of it, asked curiously, “Uri, I am really confused.
Although I’m in a tense situation and in the midst of battle, I still hope you can explain in detail.”
After sighing, Uriyangko said, “This morning, I received a call, and after that call, I started preparing.
Hmm, it might be hard for you to understand, so let me put it this way, I received a call from Grand Ivan, and Grand Ivan had received a call from Djo Malthael.”
Djo Malthael, that name again.
Gao Yang, with a serious voice, said, “I just heard about this name.
He’s your competitor, isn’t he?”
Uriyangko sighed and said, “Let me finish, Gao, let me finish.
It seems you know about this Djo person, which is good, I don’t have to explain so much.
Let’s put it this way, Djo is a major arms dealer, and indeed he is Grand Ivan’s competitor, but that depends on how you look at it.
Djo mainly sells Western world weapons, and you know we mainly deal with Russian goods.
We both have traditional customers; therefore, actually, the competition between Djo and Grand Ivan isn’t as intense as you think, because they only focus on the bigger market, and what weapons a country purchases is influenced by politics.
From a certain point of view, Djo and Grand Ivan are competitors, but sometimes, they can become collaborators.
For instance, when one side buys weapons from Djo and the other side from Grand Ivan, do you think, as arms dealers, they prefer their clients to quickly determine a winner, or remain in a deadlock and keep fighting endlessly until they are completely drained?”
As soon as Gao Yang heard this, he understood.
For an arms dealer, of course, they would prefer the business to last as long as possible.
It would be best if both sides of the conflict could endure, neither winning nor losing, just continuing the stalemate, turning people’s brains into mush until they have exhausted their resources.
After a bitter laugh, Gao Yang said helplessly, “True to the nature of an arms dealer.
What you mean is, Grand Ivan and Djo have an understanding?”
After a moment of silence, Uriyangko spoke softly, “It’s not just based on understanding, because sometimes there can be misjudgments.
So, the most direct method is, if there’s something going on, everyone passes along a message.
You know, it’s easy to manipulate when you monopolize the market, supplying weapons to both sides in a conflict, but if there are two suppliers each supporting one customer, then it can’t just be based on understanding.”
Arms dealers are not people of love and taste.
If the world were peaceful, they’d starve.
So, seizing an opportunity to make a killing is just the professional habit of an arms dealer.
Gao Yang sighed and said, “What are you trying to tell me with all this?”
With a heavy voice, Uriyangko said, “I just wanted to explain something to you.
By convention, I would let you receive the plane around the same time as the British, preparing anti-aircraft missiles for both of you, and only after you’ve fought it out on the ground, would I sell you air defense weapons, until the British or the Skull Gang pulled out.
But this time, Grand Ivan does not plan to do that, so he refused to engage in a long-term deal with Djo Malthael and decided to give you what you need immediately, letting you end this war quickly.”
Gao Yang smiled and said, “I understand.
Thank Grand Ivan for me.”
Uriyangko sighed, “Grand Ivan owes you a big favor, and doing these are just trivial matters for him.
So, if you think I’m telling you all this to curry favor with Grand Ivan, you’d be wrong.
I’m telling you all this because I got some very definite information from Grand Ivan.
So, the next part is what’s important.”
Gao Yang, not knowing what to expect, said, “Thank you very much, but is something big about to happen?
I always feel that you’re being so secretive and verbose, it’s like you’re brewing some terrible news for me.”
Usually, Uriyangko was very straightforward, but this time he was different.
With a heavy sigh after Gao Yang finished speaking, Uriyangko let out another long sigh and said, “Gao, let me put it this way, my relationship with Glolov is not bad.
We’ve known each other for a long time, and although it can’t be said that we are good friends, the relationship isn’t bad.
But now, my relationship with you is better.
We’ve been through some things together, and we’re friends now, so I have to ask you clearly, Gao, if Glolov were in trouble, would you go to all lengths to help him?”
Gao’s heart tightened, and he became even more curious, saying directly, “Do you even need to ask?
Of course, I would.
Stop beating around the bush, Uri.”
“What I’m going to say next involves Glolov and you, as well as the entire Satan Mercenary Corps.
So, I must be careful and explain it to you as clearly as possible.
Gao, listen, what I’m about to tell you, you can consider carefully and then decide whether to tell Glolov or not.”
Gao Yang’s heart tightened, and he said solemnly, “Spit it out.”
Uriyangko also spoke solemnly, “Confirmed news, among the British you’re facing, there’s the Holmesny Mercenary Corps.”
“I’ve never heard of that name, what about it?”
Uriyangko said quietly, “You might not have heard of this name, but Glolov definitely knows because the Holmesny Mercenary Corps is a sworn enemy of the Trident Mercenary Corps.
In other words, they are Glolov’s mortal enemies.
That means if Glolov finds out his enemy is the Holmesny Mercenary Corps, he will go insane.
You’ll witness the crazed, bloodthirsty side of the Machine Gun Artist, so now you understand, right?”
Realization dawned on Gao Yang—he finally understood why Uriyangko was babbling on.
Once Uriyangko spilled this information, the Satan Mercenary Corps would definitely be dragged down by Glolov.
“Oh…”
After a long exclamation, Gao couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Glolov, who was observing the enemy’s position through binoculars, oblivious to him.
Gao turned his head back and continued, “Understood, it’s like that.
But you should know, whatever Glolov wants to do, I will back him to the end.
If he wants to go crazy, then I will join him all the way until the end.
But can you tell me why this is?”
Uriyangko let out a breath and said, “I guess you’ll tell Glolov as well, but I still have to tell only you this news, so I don’t make a move that doesn’t match what you think.
Okay, why—you can ask Glolov, I won’t say more.
Now that I know your stance, it looks like I can carry on with the preparations.
You guys are going to fight to the death, believe me, so get ready.”
Gao Yang frowned and asked, “Then, when will the helicopters be delivered?
It would be best to deliver them directly to the battlefield in Gesale.”
Uriyangko responded, “Understood.
You don’t have to remind me, I will do everything in my power to get them to you.
Listen to me, Gao, don’t get agitated, don’t be impulsive.
If you can delay, then delay until the doe arrives, then go on a full offensive.
Especially, make sure to keep Glolov’s emotions in check.
Alright, that’s it; I have to prepare the weapons for you.
I’ll be watching over it personally, goodbye.”
After hanging up the phone, Gao couldn’t help but glance at Glolov again.
Uriyangko was dead serious, as if Glolov would go mad just hearing the name Holmesny.
Would Gao Yang tell Glolov?
Of course, he would!
Whatever Glolov wanted to do, Gao Yang would support him to the end, and he would keep his word.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang, without hesitation, shouted loudly, “Toad!
Take over Big Dog’s command; Big Dog, come over here for a second, I need to talk to you.”
Everyone glanced at Gao Yang, knowing that something significant must have happened.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left the state of imminent battle just to talk, but they quickly refocused on the enemy’s position.
Glolov handed the binoculars to Li Jinfang and swiftly slid down from the dune.
Upon reaching Gao Yang’s side, he, too, asked with curiosity, “What’s up?”
Gao cleared his throat and said, “Uriyangko told me to tell you that, uh, the Holmesny Mercenary Corps is right there on the opposite side, fighting alongside those British.”
Glolov fell silent.
He didn’t shout or anything, but he immediately raised his sloped machine gun muzzle and then, his eyes suddenly reddened.
Gao Yang truly didn’t know—that a person’s eyes could turn red in an instant.
It was truly in a flash, in less than a second, his eyeballs were filled with blood vessels.
If this wasn’t someone going red-eyed in an instant, what was it?
Gao was scared, for Glolov was no longer young.
He was genuinely afraid that Glolov would die from a cerebral hemorrhage.
Think about it—his eyeballs were bloodshot, so it would be pretty normal if a blood vessel in his brain burst.
“Calm down!”
Gao immediately let out a loud roar, his voice very loud.
After roaring, he quickly added, “No matter what you are thinking, we will definitely support you.
If you want to wipe them all out, then do it!
So, don’t get excited, treat them like they are already dead!
Calm down!
Calm!”
