Chapter 4664: Darien Graben
"I don't agree to leave, in fact, I am more effective than any of you. This information was intercepted by us, and you can't exclude us." Sophia shook her head and strongly opposed.
"This is a combat operation. You can't provide more assistance than intelligence and technical support." Lin Rui shook his head.
"I'm talking about technical support and intelligence. We can assist you in your operations here. If you want to search the jungle, you will need remote assistance.
I have some data here, including the locations of the Colombian armed forces’ multiple hidden bases and arsenals in this country. Obtained from some well-known intelligence agencies, 100% accurate.
These are superimposed on the information we intercepted before, and it is not difficult to guess the location of the secret agency, the hidden base. Sophia looked at Lin Rui.
"Boss, I think this is feasible. They can help us by staying here. They don't need to participate directly in the operation, so they won't face too much danger.
The Colombian armed forces have had a ceasefire with the government for some time, and this is a relatively safe government-controlled area. I think they can stay, otherwise, we will leave two brothers here to protect them. Sergey replied.
Lin Rui was silent for a while and looked at Sophia, "There is one condition, that is, to cooperate with us and promise to do things for us."
"Yes. So I mean, we might as well start now." Sophia beckoned to "Puppet". The somewhat awkward young man immediately took the laptop and skillfully set up the satellite dish.
Sophia logged on to the computer and immediately called up a message. "This is the location they mentioned. Although we were not able to intercept the complete coordinates, we got some corresponding coordinate fragments."
"The damaged coordinates can be superimposed with the position coordinates in Colombia, and maybe more can be recovered." Lin Rui nodded.
"You're right. In fact, we have been recovering. So far, we have reduced the range to less than 90 kilometers. You see, this is the area we probably guessed." Sophia pointed to the map. The designated area replied.
"Damn it, the Amazon rainforest in southern Colombia." Lin Rui shook his head and couldn't help but said, "Like the rainforest in Africa, it's a green hell."
"Yes, there is a virgin jungle on the border between Colombia and Panama. On the map, the Pan-American Highway extending from Chile to the United States is disconnected here.
The 47,515-kilometer Pan-American Highway lacks only 161 kilometers, and this gap is the most unknown and dangerous jungle in the world—the Darien Graben. The Darien Graben is known as one of the most isolated places on earth.
In 2009, infiltrating the Darien Graben was selected as one of the top ten future adventures of mankind by Time magazine. There are various dangerous animals hidden in the primitive jungle, such as poisonous snakes, poisonous ants, and threats from humans-drug dealers and local armed forces in Colombia, kidnapping and hijacking occur from time to time. "Sophia nodded.
"This uninhabited land is not really unmanned. After Columbus discovered the American continent, in 1513, a Spaniard named Balboa led a 191-man white team across the Darien Graben from the Caribbean Sea. Until the Pacific coast of Panama.
They killed 67 people while crossing the Darien Graben, and finally discovered the Pacific Ocean in one fell swoop. It can be seen how dangerous it is to cross the Darien Graben. Large tracts of undeveloped swamps and tropical rain forests will be our worst enemy. "The actuary frowned.
"Moreover, to enter the Darien Graben requires the consent of the leaders of the local Indian tribes, and they will send guides to accompany them. If the tribal leaders refuse the request and prohibit us from passing through the tribe. Then we will lose all possible things near this jungle Supply points." Sophia replied.
"We can't do this. Maybe these Indian tribes are also connected to the secret society. As long as they know that someone has entered, they can take precautions. So we can't ask the Indian tribes for help and use their village as a supply point." Lin Rui shook his head. Tao.
"In this way, it will be more difficult to move." The actuary shook his head, "This tropical rainforest cannot be passed without road vehicles, nor can we cross easily, so we can only walk.
If you cross on foot, you need to consume a lot of supplies. We can't use local villages for supplies. This means that in addition to the necessary weapons and ammunition, we must also carry a large amount of supplies. "
"We need mules and horses. Dish-shaped communication equipment receivers, weapons and ammunition, and a lot of supplements. It is best to have a guide familiar with the terrain. But now it seems that finding a guide is very unreliable.
It is very likely that the guide has not been found, the people in the secret agency will know our intentions. But we also have satellite positioning and maps. Lin Rui thought for a while.
"It's better to think of another cover identity." Sophia shook her head and said, "You can't just enter the jungle like this. If you walked in this forest with rifles and weird backpacks like this two years ago, you would die. Colombian armed forces The guerrillas will kill you.
Even today, the guerrillas of the Colombian armed forces have signed a peace agreement with the government, and there has been a significant reduction in violence in many rural areas. However, in the dense forests along the Pacific in Colombia, it is often possible to encounter the rebels or pro-government right-wing paramilitary militias.
You have to deal with them. For decades, entering this area has to obtain permission to control the government forces in the area, to comply with the orders that the army changes from time to time, to have a guerrilla or militia, and to avoid both sides Do not want to be peeped by outsiders, etc. All of the above are matters of life and death.
If the local government army commander orders you to leave, everyone will have to pack their bags and evacuate before dark. If the officer has a question to ask, the entire team has to stay hostage, sometimes for several days. If the chief is not satisfied with the answer, someone will die. "
"That's because they didn't meet Lao Tzu." Scarface sneered.
"We are looking for the hidden secret society base. It is not wise to tear our faces with these people." Lin Rui turned to Sophia. "Tell me, what can you do to cover your identity?"
"Scientific research team." Sophia shrugged. "The rich biodiversity of Colombia ranks second in the world, but the war has hindered research on the country's flora and fauna.
They are currently embarking on the Eco-Columbia project, which funds researchers to conduct a total of 20 expeditions in remote areas that have been delayed by the war. You can pretend to be a researcher. "
