Chapter 1260: Chapter 1258: Noob!

“Everyone, take a look at the contents inside first. These are all the information we’ve gathered about Baldeke. At least for now, this is all we have. Once this mission is completed, I believe we won’t need this information anymore.”

“Still, just in case, our people will continue to gather information.”

Hao Jian pointed at the information in their hands, propping up his chin with his hand, and smiled, “Everyone, let me explain my plan next.”

Hearing this, everyone placed the information in their hands on the table, occasionally flipping through it, but most of their attention was on Hao Jian.

“Currently, we’ve found that Baldeke’s base is divided into two parts. One part is the external base, where the well-armed soldiers are stationed. There are a total of sixteen thousand people, with three thousand out on a mission today.”

“Their external base has a military camp, where eighty percent of the soldiers are stationed daily. As long as we bypass them, we don’t have to engage in combat with them.”

“At least when we enter the internal base, we don’t need to engage with them. We’ll start by facing the remaining soldiers, about three thousand in number.”

“Our combined forces can handle them.”

After Hao Jian finished speaking, Xia Hou interrupted him, saying, “Mr. Hao Jian, rest assured. Mr. Pearson has brought along ten thousand soldiers. Even if we face the entire base, we can withstand the pressure.”

Hearing this, Hao Jian subtly shook his head, but outwardly he gave Xia Hou enough respect by nodding.

Hao Jian could easily see through Pearson’s team’s equipment. They didn’t even have bulletproof vests, and their weapons seemed quite random. By observing the way they handled their guns, it was clear many were not familiar with their firearms.

Even though there are many in this team, they’re only targets compared to Baldeke’s army. These ten thousand might not even manage to deal with five thousand of them. How could they handle the possible sixteen thousand?

Xia Hou was only giving Pearson face. After all, Pearson was also someone who was supposed to contribute. What if he didn’t put in any effort when the action started?

Hao Jian was not worried about that; it was Xia Hou who needed to be concerned because he didn’t know Hao Jian and his group’s true strength and influence in the battle.

This, Hao Jian understood and did not blame him.

“Huh!”

Hearing Xia Hou, Pearson’s expression improved, and the arrogance that had disappeared started to return. His gaze toward Hao Jian seemed to say, “See, only Xia Hou understands.”

Seeing this, Hao Jian shook his head but didn’t bother with such people and continued with his plan: “I’ve finished talking about the external base; now, I’m going to discuss the internal base!”

“For me, the external base poses little threat. The internal base is the most threatening place. The soldiers there are worth ten to thirty others, and there are nearly a thousand of these people. This means the internal base’s strength is equivalent to ten to thirty thousand soldiers!”

The difference is primarily due to strength disparities. For Hao Jian’s twenty subordinates, they can fight three to four Transformed People without showing signs of defeat. Xia Hou’s men might manage one-on-one, but for Pearson, more than ten might not defeat a single Transformed Person, maybe it takes thirty.

Hao Jian’s subordinates, with just twenty men, could hold off nearly a hundred, and within a short time, deal with one or two, thus handling two hundred.

As for Hao Jian himself, he certainly won’t confront these Transformed People because he needs to face the Mercenary Alliance and Assassin Alliance, who are his real opponents.

The remaining Special Forces under Xia Hou can handle over a hundred Transformed People, and the rest must be dealt with by Pearson’s men.

That point was Hao Jian’s main focus, as they first need to confront those sixteen thousand soldiers, not the nearly thousand Transformed People in the internal base.

However, they could bypass these sixteen thousand and directly enter the internal base.

What Hao Jian was going to discuss next was interrupted by Pearson, who sneered disdainfully at Hao Jian: “Is it because you’ve been defeated by those people before and are now exaggerating about the strength of the internal base’s people?!”

“Is there anyone in this world who can take on ten, even thirty, single-handedly?! Everything you’re saying is a joke!”

“Have you heard of Transformed People?”

Hao Jian glanced at Pearson indifferently, with a mocking tone: “Your experience is too limited. You speak recklessly because you don’t understand. I don’t blame you; it’s a lack of knowledge.”

“But let me clarify for you here, those people are Transformed People, essentially no longer in the human category. The experiments happening inside the internal base are about these Transformed People!”

“It’s only during wartime that human lives are so undervalued and easily become experimental materials…”

Hao Jian looked at Pearson, a faint smile appearing: “Have you noticed that originally prosperous cities, even if affected by war, wouldn’t see people leaving so much, yet in Bata, people leave daily? Has Mr. Pearson heard the rumors?”

“They say young men living in Bata mysteriously disappear?”

Upon hearing this, Pearson’s expression slightly changed. Even though their Government Forces were confined in a small city, they still had some spies. Not long ago, they had lost many, initially thinking they had been discovered, but later, they speculated otherwise, though they couldn’t find a reason.

They had also received reports of missing persons from many cities, which they hadn’t taken seriously until now, which made sense after Hao Jian brought it up.

But this guy says that so many of his people are needed to defeat a single Transformed Person, implying that all these people are just cannon fodder?!

Don’t forget, before entering the internal base, there’s an external base with sixteen thousand people, enough to deal with already, let alone the inside.

“Is it because of this?! But I don’t believe our strength, with our current numbers, would allow us to storm the internal base and destroy the laboratory inside.”

Now, even a fool would understand Hao Jian’s intent—destroy the laboratories while taking out the high-ranking personnel inside.

After all, those living in the internal base are Baldeke’s confidants. Taking them all out would alleviate some pressure on their Government Forces.

“Haha, Mr. Pearson, no need to rush. Let’s discuss the plan since you now understand the whole story; a plan is still needed.”

Hao Jian waved his hand, having considered all this long ago.

“Due to the dangerous nature of this matter, let me tell you my specific plan…”

“The twenty-one of us will be captured as prisoners by Baldeke’s base and then infiltrate inside, coordinating from within. Of course, how we get in isn’t something you need to know; we have our methods.”

Hao Jian glanced at Xia Hou, who wanted to speak, stopping him from doing so, and continued: “Once we infiltrate the base, we’ll find a way to minimize the pressure we face. I’ll signal you then.”

“Once there’s a signal, you’ll attack together. With inside and outside cooperation, we’ll take down this base and reduce our casualties significantly.”

According to Hao Jian, there’s a place in the external base where many weapons and explosives are stored. If detonated, a large breach would appear, reducing the base’s overall defenses.

Upon hearing this, Xia Hou had no objections, nodding, “The Huaxia Special Forces agree with Mr. Hao Jian’s plan, and I can share some good news with everyone. The Huaxia Special Forces’ naval headquarters have understood our situation and have dispatched five hundred people to assist. According to the schedule, they should arrive at Bata’s port by tomorrow afternoon, so I’ll meet them directly.”

Hearing this, Hao Jian’s eyes slightly brightened. With so many reinforcements, a lot of pressure would indeed be alleviated, and he nodded.

“I greatly appreciate the Huaxia Government Forces’ help, thank you.”

Pearson, upon hearing of the additional reinforcements, also showed excitement but, upon seeing Hao Jian’s face, cynically added: “Unlike some people, who are as weak as chickens and still want to go inside. If things go wrong, it’d just mean twenty more cannon fodders, and wouldn’t we need to rush in to rescue you?”

“I see, whether you succeed or fail, we’ll need to brute force our way in, so why not do it from the start to show Baldeke our might? We, the Equatorial Guinea Government Forces, are not to be ignored by these little warlords!”

Upon hearing this, Xia Hou thought, not good, as he knew Hao Jian’s capabilities well—a killer capable of taking on a thousand. Becoming cannon fodder was out of the question.

Hao Jian, on hearing this, also shook his head, deciding not to argue with this guy, seeing him for what he was—a jealous, arrogant, and boastful person.

A frog in a well, the label Hao Jian gave him.

Hao Jian didn’t want to bother, but his subordinates wouldn’t let it go. Was their boss to be casually mocked by others?!
