CHAPTER 1497: CHAPTER 1478: FRIENDS GET A DISCOUNT

Gao Yang felt he was close to touching the truth about the matter, so he spoke with a slight tremor in his voice: "If SEAL Team Six is just a cover, then it has to be Cerberus! Both are Navy Special Forces, only one secret unit disguises another top-secret unit."

Nate shook his head and said softly, "No, they’re not from the Navy, they’re from the Army."

Gao Yang frowned and said, "Why do you say that? How could the Navy cover for the Army, and how could the Army be outshone by the Navy?"

Nate whispered, "Russians call the Army unit Butter Knife, and the name should be quite fitting. I haven’t seen the true combat power of that unit because we had an absolute advantage, but a person from Butter Knife killed one of my brothers even in overwhelming disadvantage, I have to admit they’re impressive."

Gao Yang waved and said, "You still haven’t said why you think they are Army and not Navy."

"Because tactics and maneuvers differ between Army and Navy, their hand signals are different. Everything about Butter Knife is very special, but their people are selected from the Army, so they inevitably carry the Army’s imprint. I’ve fought against them, I can recognize some of their moves and signals, it’s unmistakably Army!"

Gao Yang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That’s right, these things are ingrained and can’t be faked."

Nate took a breath and whispered, "The people we encountered descended from the sky. The helicopters they used were extremely quiet; we didn’t notice them in time. When the battle started, it was a surprise encounter for both sides. One of my brothers, who had been with me for nine years, got his entire chest blown apart even while wearing body armor."

Gao Yang whispered, "Shotgun slug, Mr. Big Eye was the one who fired it."

Nate chuckled softly and said, "That’s what the British call it, we just call it a sawed-off shotgun. Yes, that’s the kind of gun. It ignores all protection, if hit you’re dead."

Then Nate raised the small sonic locator again and slowly said, "Three years, I’ve finally learned the name of that unit, Army Special Tactics Research Group, Butter Knife, interesting!"

Gao Yang said softly, "What mission did you guys undertake? Uh, I shouldn’t ask that. So what was your situation at the time, what was the terrain? How did the battle go? Can you tell me all of it?"

Nate didn’t answer Gao Yang’s question but said absent-mindedly, "If it was Butter Knife, how could they work for Djo? That’s hardly possible."

Gao Yang smiled wryly and said, "I’m also troubled by this question."

Nate thought for a moment and said, "Did they use helicopters?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "No, that I can be sure of. If they used helicopters, their attack position couldn’t be so far away."

Nate frowned and said, "If Americans deployed Butter Knife, they should have used helicopters. Oh, no, this is Ukraine. To avoid provoking Russians, America is unlikely to use helicopters."

Gao Yang laughed and said, "Buddy, Andre is just an arms dealer. If he were Grand Ivan, I might believe the Americans intervened directly. But being merely a regional manager, do you think it’s possible for America to step in?"

Nate sighed and said, "I don’t get it. If America didn’t intervene directly, could Djo actually have recruited Butter Knife’s people? This is a top-secret unit."

Gao Yang whispered, "Do you know Black Demon?"

Nate nodded and said, "I know this, of course I know it. I’ve heard of it. KGB has a Black Demon, but I’ve only heard about it. I only know it’s an extremely powerful and mysterious force, KGB’s henchmen, and nothing else."

Gao Yang said with some pride, "Hehe, Black Demon is working for me now."

Nate was startled and said, "You recruited Black Demon? Oh, it must be Grand Ivan."

Gao Yang laughed and said, "Doesn’t matter who, the point is they’re working for me now. I can’t reveal too much; I have to keep things confidential. But since Grand Ivan can recruit Black Demon, it’s not surprising that Djo could recruit Butter Knife, right?"

Nate gave Gao Yang a glance and said solemnly, "America hasn’t disintegrated."

Gao Yang was at a loss for words, but Nate then said, "However, given Djo’s relationship with America, maybe it’s possible. Okay, let’s say that some members of Butter Knife retired and started working for Djo, and Djo indeed could acquire some new equipment, like this."

Nate shook the sonic locator in his hand. Gao Yang whispered, "Buddy, tell me about your combat experience. This is very important to me, I need to prepare against Butter Knife executing a decapitation strike."

Nate smiled and said, "This is hard-won experience, paid for with our lives and blood. Want to know? You have to pay a price."

Gao Yang waved his hand and sneered, "You seem to have forgotten something; you asked me earlier if I could handle those things, I have to study it carefully."

Nate’s expression changed, he frowned and said, "What do you want? Name your terms."

Gao Yang grinned and said, "I’m always fair, arms, that’s easy to arrange. However much you need, I’ll give you. You want command of a brigade, no problem, I can help you with that. A regular brigade unit, replaced entirely with your people."

Nate said solemnly, "And it has to be sent to the East, to the front lines in the battle."

Gao Yang waved his hand and laughed, "No problem, you want cannon fodder, and of course cannon fodder goes to the frontline. I can arrange all of that for you, it’s just a matter of agreeing on the price."

Nate said solemnly, "Regarding equipment, a mixed brigade’s equipment will be enough. Just name your price."

Gao Yang pondered for a moment, then held up one finger and said solemnly, "One billion."

Nate said in shock, "You’re robbing me?"

Gao Yang chuckled and said, "In Colombia, someone taught me how to take advantage of a situation. Actually, I think one billion isn’t pricey, especially when what you need can only be provided by me alone, don’t you think?"

Nate exhaled and said with a face full of disdain, "I don’t have that kind of money, F**k! I’m paying myself, do you understand? In Bogota, it was Grand Ivan who paid!"

Gao Yang shrugged and said, "That’s the price. Take it or leave it."

Nate was extremely irritable and said, "I won’t buy it!"

Gao Yang said with a smile, "Fine, you don’t have to buy it. But don’t expect to purchase it from anyone else, whoever dares to sell, I’ll take them out. I’ll spread the word today and we’ll see if you can get what you want. Monopolies are quite enjoyable!"

Nate wanted to get angry, but in the end, he waved his hand and said helplessly, "I’ll tell you Butter Knife’s tactics, you name a reasonable price."

Gao Yang laughed, raised his voice and said, "Now that’s more like it. We’re old friends, I can’t not give you some preferential treatment. So tell me, how does Butter Knife fight?" (To be continued.
