Capítulo 1799: Chapter 1778: Free Muscle

Gao Yang couldn’t care less how Kanchelskis handles the follow-up; as long as he knows Kanchelskis wouldn’t dare betray him even if it means death, that’s enough.

Sitting in the car, Gao Yang was pondering with a gloomy face how to resolve the issue with Jefferson.

Gao Yang certainly didn’t have the time, nor could he personally deal with a petty arms dealer. As for the Black Demon, he obviously wouldn’t send them to deal with a bunch of arms dealers. But Jefferson, who dared to steal in a dangerous zone, had to be eliminated, and it needed to be done quickly.

Taking out Jefferson doesn’t need to be too secretive; just gather some of Grand Ivan’s people to handle it. Of course, this requires money because the ones Andre once gathered, who then followed Gao Yang to fight two battles and were dispersed, weren’t maintained by Grand Ivan all along; they were mercenaries.

It just takes spending some money to gather people, but Gao Yang thought about it and felt that spending money is a minor issue. Gathering those people to Ukraine and then searching and finally eliminating Jefferson would be a bit troublesome, while now he has a cost-free and convenient option, especially with suitable candidates for the job.

Gao Yang pulled out the business card Brian left him and dialed the number.

He didn’t expect to need Brian so soon, but being quick has its advantages. It’s perfect timing to use Brian’s men while they’re still eager.

Brian really answered the call quickly. Gao Yang smiled and said, “Hello Brian, I thought I’d never get to use your men, but fate is unpredictable. I need you to repay me now by having your men find a guy named Jefferson—an insignificant arms dealer. He stole my stuff, and I need your men to find him, capture him, and then send him to Odessa to my people.”

Brian laughed, “I really thought you wouldn’t use my men. Alright, Jefferson, any distinguishing features? Also, I’m curious what he stole from you?”

Gao Yang described Jefferson’s features and then couldn’t help but grumble, “He stole 36 cannons from me! I hope you can help me retrieve them.”

Brian laughed heartily, “That guy’s got some guts. Alright, I got it. I’ll leave tonight to help you find Jefferson, but I’m not going personally; I’m headed to Moscow. Kid, I’m retired, not working anymore.”

Gao Yang shouted, “Your men are reliable, right? I mean, you’re retired, and you’re having them work for free—is that okay?”

“Of course, I’m very particular about choosing people. Before meeting me, they were penniless nobodies, trash, failures! I gave them everything, taught them everything. Now it’s time for them to repay me. Also, to add, the people I choose are always grateful types, haha.”

Gao Yang reluctantly said, “It sounded like a good thing about loyalty, but how come it feels awkward after you said it? Alright, as long as you’re confident, don’t mess up my business.”

“Rest assured, I won’t mess up your business. After I do this for you, the debt of gratitude I owe you will be cleared, buddy, and we won’t owe each other anything anymore.”

Gao Yang immediately said, “No way, no way, brother, you haven’t told me how to find Djo yet.”

“Oh, that, of course, I’ll tell you, but it’s quite complicated. It’s a waste of time talking about it now. You’ll have to wait until I get to Moscow to discuss it. Right now, it’s inconvenient to talk while I’m driving. So, that’s it, goodbye.”

Brian impatiently hung up the phone. After putting away his phone, Gao Yang suddenly said, “My cannons are gone, they’re 36 cannons! Rebrov, have you seen the power of a 152mm cannon?”

Rebrov dejectedly said, “Of course I’ve seen it, but only during training.”

Gao Yang sighed, loudly said, “I’ve seen it—in Syria, with one shot, a football field-sized area leaves no living beings behind. When you’re facing a crisis in battle and suddenly an overwhelming barrage descends from the sky, blasting the enemy with nowhere to hide, nowhere to run, and turning them into chunks—it’s truly unforgettable!”

After speaking, Gao Yang shook his head and sighed, “Unfortunately, last time, I only saw what it’s like when three cannons fired. Syria didn’t have many large-caliber cannons. The key is, their artillery skills weren’t enough; they didn’t dare keep the fireline too close. But even so, the cannons still played a decisive role.”

Rebrov chuckled softly and said, “Of course, they’re the God of War, but the God of War isn’t something everyone can handle properly. If you’re aware of your lack of skill, keeping the shells’ landing points farther from yourselves is a precaution for your good.”

Gao Yang nodded and said in a low voice, “I used to think artillery was outdated, that laser-guided bombs or missiles dropped by airplanes were the strongest support weapons on the battlefield. But now, after experiencing it once, I realize cannons are still indispensable—many cannons, firing en masse, covering bombardments, completely flipping the entire region. This is the real firepower support!”

Rebrov smiled helplessly and said, “But you need suitable people to operate these cannons; otherwise, calling for artillery support and getting oneself bombed is not unusual.”

Gao Yang mused, “Do you have classmates you’re close to? Also, do you know any retired artillerymen? I want ones capable of being commanders. Recommend some to me—the more, the better.”

Rebrov pondered for a moment and said softly, “I can surely find some people, but if you only want commanders, there won’t be too many. Sir, why do you value artillery so much? You know, in today’s war system, you need a complete anti-aircraft system to allow an artillery team to fully utilize their potential.”

Gao Yang smiled, softly said, “I don’t have aerial forces, and I don’t have an organized anti-aircraft system, but what does that matter? Where I need to use cannons, there are no aerial enemies, nor enemies capable of launching attacks beyond line of sight. In these circumstances, I can naturally form a professional and powerful artillery force.”

Rebrov said with slight excitement, “In a place like that, a Heavy Artillery Battalion means invincibility!”

Gao Yang squinted his eyes, with a look of aspiration, “In a place where a pickup truck with a heavy machine gun can serve as rapid mobile heavy firepower, bringing over two Heavy Artillery Battalions is indeed an enticing scenario. Unfortunately, my cannons were stolen, and I think they won’t be recovered. Okay, I must quickly find more cannons and assemble my artillery force ASAP!”
