sarajevo sniper

Lin Nai's thinking is very clear: "Although the specific content has not been disclosed, the teacher said that he will perform a sniper mission. This mission must have something to do with the referendum. The time should be in the past few days, and it involves important issues related to voting. People may be in danger. The People's Army is very concerned about this referendum, and will definitely try its best to sabotage the voting process. Inviting a retired old man to the battlefield is a hopeless endeavor."

"Like a congressman from Croatia?"

"Can't canvassing speeches be suspended? Votes are never more important than human lives."

"The People's Army is desperate this time, and so is Bosnia and Herzegovina. If this vote fails, do you know what will happen to Bosnia and Herzegovina? Independence fails and it is brought back under the jurisdiction of Serbia. The Serbs will face a greater survival dilemma. We can only go on the road of winning."

"When will the speaking engagements take place? Where will it be? How will you deploy your staff?"

Leto would roughly recount his conversation with the Senator: "You want to join this safeguard operation?"

Lin Nai raised his eyebrows: "I don't mean to offend, my dear, but the entire Bosnian government army plus the Croatian Ministry of Defense, who can confront Odin Greenkins, I am afraid that he has not yet been born. You don't want to A sniper who has been in the business for over 40 years and has probably fired more bullets in his lifetime than French fries you have eaten is standing opposite you. I am your only hope."

Leto loved his self-confidence, which was Linnai's charisma.He now probably knows where this confidence comes from.If it wasn't because he was still a little weak, he really wanted to sit up and pull her into his arms for a kiss.

"You look beautiful now." Leto said sincerely, "I just want to keep you as you are now, if killing Odin Greenkins will make you painful and melancholy, then I would rather you not go. "

Lin Nai has made a decision: "But I can't afford to lose you."

Leto knew that all he could do was to make sure he made the right choice.In the afternoon, he forced himself to sit up, called Walter, the secretary, and Mario into the ward for a meeting, analyzed in detail the itinerary for the day of the speech event, and perfected the deployment—

"The speech activities of the day will last the whole morning. Starting at nine o'clock in the morning, the parliamentarians will take a speech car parading through the main road of Sarajevo. The route is the one drawn by the red line you see on the map. , starting from the hotel, passing through the Latin Bridge, the Civic Square, the National Library, the Opera House and finally arriving at the church. The speech was finally held in the courtyard of the church."

Lin Nai looked at the long, curved red line: "The speed of canvassing and speeches along the way must be different from the usual speed. Have you ever calculated how long it will take this road?"

"The whole route lasts about one and a half hours. It is planned to arrive at the church at 10:30 and start the speech. The speech lasts for one and a half hours and ends at twelve noon." Walter replied: "After the speech, there will be a small Dinner at lunch. All activities will officially end at two o'clock, and the congressmen will drive back to the hotel."

"It's a fulfilling day, isn't it?" Linnaeus teased.

Leto replied, "This is the price of politics."

"What is the current deployment plan?"

"Because the route of the parade passes through the main roads of the city, it is not easy for us to close the streets, which will affect the normal life of the citizens, so we will send eight motorcycles and two bodyguard cars to escort the speech car back and forth, and we will have soldiers at every intersection along the way. If there are a large number of citizens, they can evacuate in time, and it is strictly forbidden to raise signs, chase cars, and congest the streets."

"What about the church? Is there a topographic map of the church? Let me see."

"Here. The church is not big. This is the result of our consultation with the council members. The courtyard can accommodate up to 300 people. We plan to invite only [-] citizens to the site. The rest are political figures and people from the economic and cultural circles of the two countries. In this way, we can better control the scene. The media only invited one family to broadcast the speech live, ensuring that everyone can see the speech at home, and there is no need for everyone to gather in the church.”

Lin Nai took people to the church to see the environment.This unremarkable Catholic church is located in the area where the Croats gather with bungalows. It belongs to the community church. It occupies a small area, has few clergy, and the environment is simple, concise and warm. The people who come here to carry out religious activities are ordinary people from nearby communities. resident.It is the "community atmosphere" here that the congressmen are looking for, which is almost the perfect embodiment of "fraternity, mutual assistance, and equality" in the teachings.Holding political activities in this place will undoubtedly shorten the distance between politicians and civilians, which is more suitable than a luxurious conference hall in a high-end hotel or a solemn and solemn municipal office building.

Moreover, the regular and tight pattern of residential areas is very difficult for snipers to deal with——

"It can be said that this is the environment that snipers don't like the most." Linnai explained: "The houses in the old city are compactly arranged, and the streets are narrow, so the observation area will be greatly reduced, which seriously affects the sniper's field of vision, and the field of vision is not wide enough. It is an Achilles heel for snipers. In addition, there are many people in residential areas, and the more people there are, the more it will affect the sniper mission. First, here are all Croats, and his sniper team will be under great pressure after they come in. Once their identities are exposed, there is no need Our security forces, local civilians want them to die, and conflicts with civilians are easy to occur. Second, the large number of people means that uncontrollable factors are also increasing, the chance of accidental injury increases, and the retreat point is also very difficult to handle. So, from those two perspectives, we have an advantage."

Walter's head turned quickly: "We can notify the nearby civilians through the community personnel, let them keep an eye out for suspicious people, don't easily provide their own homes for strangers, and report to the security forces immediately if they find someone similar to Greenkins .We just need to cover the roof area and every intersection in the street, and it's easier for us to control."

Lin Nai was relieved by his progress: "Okay, then this task will be entrusted to you. Don't tell them directly that there will be military operations here, it will easily cause panic, and you are also afraid that the civilians will leak the news and scare the snake. Just say that there is a cunning and skilled person here recently. The thief has been caught many times, what is his appearance and characteristics, once he finds a suspicious person, immediately notify the police."

"No problem. Is there anything else I can do?"

"I need the security forces to conduct a scanning inspection of every building here, not just the roofs and street gates, including underground warehouses, sewers, indoor parking lots, garbage stations... Don't let any corner go. As long as cockroaches and mice can go All places are investigated. Greenkins is likely to use these places for observation and sniping."

"Can the sewer be used as an observation point and a sniper point?"

"Underground is easy to be ignored and forgotten, but it is these places where accidents are most likely to occur. As long as there is no cover and obstruction, the underground can of course be used as a sniper point. Even if there is an obstruction, things like optical periscopes were invented for It can see from the ground to the ground. He doesn’t even need to carry professional observation glasses. An old water pipe and two pieces of glass can see you clearly under your feet. When you were in school, the teacher taught you how to do it A periscope, right? This is something that elementary school students can do.”

Walter was speechless. Linnai said that he felt that the ground under his feet was not very solid.

Lin Nai is very serious: "Sniper is a comprehensive profession. He must be proficient in everything. He must understand everything from gravity and tidal changes to ant migration, woodworking and hardware. The longer the sniper has been in the industry, the more he will The more flexible your mind is, use everything you can use, create all conditions that can be created, you don’t even know where he will be and what he will use to kill you.”

In addition to the lack of vision and the uncontrollable number of people, there is another important reason why Lin Nai thinks that his dear teacher will not easily choose the upstairs room for sniping.Snipers who perform tasks inside the building should ensure that the roof is covered by their own people. This is because if the enemy wants to arrest people, they are likely to land from the roof in a helicopter and outflank the sniper from top to bottom. retreat route.Linnai and Roman made this mistake when they first came to Sarajevo to carry out the sniper mission, which caused Leto's men to surround the two of them in the stairwell, and finally had to jump out of the window.But Lin Nai had no choice at that time, because this is Bosnia and Herzegovina. If the Serbian army occupied the roof of a building in a high-profile manner, it would be easily discovered by civilians and cause conflicts with civilians.

Greenkins now faces the same problem Linnaeus had.Moreover, in order to guarantee the political speech activities of the day, the Bosnian government army will definitely deploy security forces on the top floors of all nearby buildings. This is the most basic operation. Leave yourself a hidden danger.At this time, choosing an upstairs room is too risky.

"Linnai! We found several vacant basements, would you like to take a look?" Walter followed the security forces to conduct a search.

Lin Nai followed the people to check.This is the basement of the apartment building. On the basement floor, most of the space is buried underground, and only about one meter of window is exposed on the first floor.These basements were originally storage rooms for apartment buildings. The landlord opened up the space and rented it out to poor students and manual laborers at a very low price. The inside is damp and cold, flooded in summer and ventilated in winter. The living environment is extremely bad, but it accommodates many people. Poor households who cannot pay rent.

"The landlord said that after independence from Croatia, a large number of Croatians living in Sarajevo fled and returned home. His original tenant also packed his luggage and boarded the train overnight because he was worried about the ensuing war, and ran away without paying the rent. These basements corresponded Empty out." Walter looked at the dark water-logged room with disgust: "This place is really not for people to live in."

Linnai went to the window to observe: "How far is it from here to the church yard?"

"Less than one kilometer. Except for a few cars parked on the side of the road, there are no obvious obstacles. The car can also be driven away."

"Enough. How many eligible basements are there around here?"

"At present we have found 4 houses, but the location of 2 houses is not particularly good."

"Let our people arrange a slightly further location to focus on these basements, and don't act rashly."

"Yes!" Walter was a little excited. He could see the apple tree in the church yard through the military binoculars: "If we can capture Odin Greenkins alive, we will have made a great contribution."

Lin Nai smiled and patted his head.After experiencing the food battle at the airport, Walter has grown very fast. He is not only prudent and careful, but also has a sense of responsibility. Now he can independently carry out some basic tasks.Leto was still recuperating, and he couldn't help with many things in person. Walter even took a lot of things from Linnai. The cooperation between the two of them was much smoother than the first rescue of Eric Blanclaveau.

Thinking of Eric Branlaveau, Linnai had to ask: "How is that Croat from Brownlavau?"

Walter knew more details: "His father tried his best to save him, and applied for him to return to the countryside in Croatia to recuperate on the grounds that his body needs to recuperate. The Ministry of Defense should have agreed, and he will go back in the next few days." He also expressed his dissatisfaction with the Croatian: "Our colonel kindly rescued him, but he dragged the colonel down. That's fine. The colonel lay in the hospital for two days, and there was no one who came to visit him. After all, he is also a lifesaver. , Such a heartless guy, but the colonel regards him as a close friend, what a waste of the colonel's heart."

"Have you never been here?" Lin Nai was also surprised.

"I'm afraid he's too ashamed to meet people." Walter sneered, "Only his father asked someone to bring over a basket of fruit, and wrote some polite words on the card. I think it's completely insincere. The whole family has a problem."

Lin Nai frowned slightly.He still felt that Eric's affairs revealed strangeness everywhere, like a scattered puzzle missing the most important piece, making the whole picture invalid and making it impossible for people to see the overall situation clearly.They must have missed something to make the whole thing so ridiculous, an important thread, a logic that can run through the whole thing from beginning to end.

Before, it was not good for him to forcefully interfere with Leto's judgment on Eric Blanclaveau. After all, he was a friend that Leto valued, and Leto believed in and defended his friend.But if Leto suffers in vain because of Blanc Laveau, Linnai can't ignore it.
