The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3165
As soon as Hamed heard that Charlie had a way, he was immediately very excited, and he asked, “Brother, what good idea do you have? Hurry up and teach it to me!”Charlie spoke up and asked him, “I recall that you said that you had purchased a batch of thermal imaging cameras?”“Yes!” Hamed hurriedly said, “I spent a lot of money to buy a batch of thermal imaging cameras made in Russia. All of them are military-grade, and one unit can already be exchanged for a Mercedes-Benz. If it weren’t because you helped me settle the funds, I would definitely have never been able to afford to use this thing.”Charlie then said, “That’s good. Now that you are actively engaging in civil engineering, construction, and infrastructure development, you should also have a special blasting team, right?”“Yes, yes.” Hamed said, “I generally rely on blasting to open up the mountain and dig the tunnels here. We would usually drill holes into the rocks first before burying the explosives inside the rocks.

Since everyone already knew that Hamed had fortifications on the front and west wing, no one could be certain whether there would be any hidden fortifications on the east or north wings.This way, the tactic of sneaking in quietly from outside was completely blocked.This was because if they were to secretly sneak in without figuring out the enemy’s fortifications, they would most likely end up being covered by the enemy’s hidden firing points. Regardless of how strong their soldiers were, they were all still made out of flesh and blood. So, how could they possibly beat their opponents, who would be hidden within the steel and concrete fortifications?So, this plan was quickly pushed aside. Since they would not be able to sneak in, the only remaining plan would be an airborne attack.There was a huge advantage to an airborne attack, and that would be the fact that they would be able to bypass the opponent’s line of defense before landing directly into the opponent’s base. If

After nightfall, the military airport in Damascus was extraordinarily busy.The few transport planes in Syria were all transferred in order to drop one thousand soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies into Hamed’s base. In addition, two cargo plans were also urgently called in from civil aviation.A total of six planes were responsible for the flight tonight. Zayne also selected the strongest one thousand elites from amongst the eight thousand soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies, and he also made sure that they were all fully armed and prepared for the airborne attack early in the morning.In order to be able to defeat and kill the enemy in one go, Zayne also equipped these one thousand men with all of the high-end equipment. This included a complete set of the best individual weapon for each person, the best bulletproof vest, a lightweight bulletproof helmet, as well as a set of head-mounted night vision equipment, and multiple thermal imaging cameras.This kind of high-end standard equ

It was expected that they would be able to arrive at the scheduled location in forty minutes due to the mobility of the entire crew.Meanwhile, Hamed’s base was bustling with activity.More than one hundred and forty explosion points that had already been buried in advance were all controlled by fourteen blasters and engineers.The detonators in front of each of them had also been marked with the location and the number of the detonating points. At the same time, they were also holding a walkie-talkie using a special channel in their hands.As soon as the enemy appeared, and as soon as the soldiers in charge of the reconnaissance had determined the enemy’s location, they would then be informed of the detonation points that would need to be detonated through this channel on the walkie-talkie.At this time, the person responsible for the detonation would need to find the detonating point within his control, and he would then detonate the designated detonation points immediately.Th

As the first five hundred men landed near the ridgeline of the top of the south wing of the mountain, another group of five hundred men also jumped off the aircraft as they began to drift toward the top of the north wing of the mountain.Since the paratroopers were affected by the wind, wind direction, and their personal control ability, it was very difficult for them to be able to jump and land in the same area at the same time. So, they could only land near the target before they moved together in all directions toward the target area.Generally speaking, in order to prevent their parachutes from getting entangled with each other, the paratroopers would maintain a safe distance from their own comrades. Therefore, when they landed, a deviation of several hundred meters or even up to a thousand meters was still normal.This was especially so when parachuting at night. It would not be surprising even if they were to have deviated from the target location by several kilometers. Ther

At the same time, as soon as the defensive force on the front collapsed, thousands of government soldiers would immediately rush up. At that time, Hamed’s troops would have nowhere to escape. The commanding officer of the first echelon spoke through the intercom system of Ten Thousand Armies, “My team is already ready for battle. I would like the second echelon to confirm their current assembly situation.”The voice of the commanding officer of the second echelon sounded on the intercom system, “Our team has basically finished assembling, and we are currently confirming our equipment before the war.”The commanding officer of the first echelon immediately spoke up, “My team is requesting to launch an attack. I’m asking Commander Carter for approval to do so!”Zayne replied with great enthusiasm, “Approved! Attack immediately! I want you to get rid of all of their soldiers on the front within ten minutes! Avenge our dead brothers!”“Yes!” The commanding officer of the first echelo

“Ambushed?!”Zayne felt a thump in his heart when he heard this, and he asked quickly, “What is going on exactly? What kind of ambush is it?!”The commanding officer was sobbing as he replied, “An explosion! A very powerful explosion! They must have planted a lot of explosives, and the explosion set off a large number of metal fragments. Both my eyes have already been blinded. My legs and my hands are also wounded, but I can no longer identify the extent of my injuries!”“How could that happen?!” Zayne’s heart started throbbing wildly when he heard the other party’s description of the situation.The two echelons that had parachuted in tonight were the strongest soldiers and commanding officers under Zayne’s command. When Zayne heard the news that his own subordinates had already been blinded and that their bodies were all covered in wounds at this moment because of the explosion, Zayne really wanted to jump down and rescue them himself.The background of the intercom system was

This way, the one thousand elites that Zayne had sent over there had already been completely assassinated by the opponent!They were obviously the ones who were going to launch a surprise attack on the opponent. Moreover, all the elites that he had dispatched today were the most suitable for the decapitation mission. Yet, how did more than half of them end up getting killed and injured from the explosion as soon as they had just landed? How did the enemy strategize and come up with all of these arrangements in advance?!Just as Zayne was still feeling extreme self-doubt, Hamed’s soldiers had already begun attacking in full force!Hamed had already divided the entire base into five areas according to Charlie’s instructions. Each area was then in turn divided into dozens of different coordinated locations according to the location of the detonation points. Therefore, the soldiers in each fortification knew which detonation points had exploded according to the coordinates marked on

Zachary couldn't help pointing at the screen and snapping, "Fucking loser! The more you feel pressed, the less you should be nervous! What are you thinking?! You're falling right under that bastard's trap!"Jacob was frustrated too, growling through his teeth, "Shit! I didn't think that bastard was a sly old fox. Fucking hell!"He then sighed, shaking his head. "Forget it, Zachary—I'm going home to pack my shit, and I'll depart for Dubai first thing tomorrow. Just handle that bronze sculpture for me and wire the money over."As he was about to get off, Zachary sighed in exasperation and apologetically said, "Sorry, Mr. Wilson… but it's fine! Even if this plan screwed up, just let me cook up another plan to destroy Raymond Cole!"Jacob ignored him as he strode out of the car, but that was when Raymond spoke audibly from Zachary's phone, "You can calm down. I'm not accusing you of lying to me. I just think that it's not Renaissance… Rather, it's medieval.""E-Early medieval…?" Billy

In Treasure Measure, Raymond unwrapped the red cloth around the bronze sculpture in front of Billy and the camera.There was a brief flash of surprise on his face, and it was soon gone.Still, he picked up the bronze sculpture, fiddling with it as he asked, "Do you know where it's from?""Yeah," Billy nodded. "A Renaissance-era sculpture. I think the base makes it obvious."Raymond looked up at him and asked in curiosity, "Are you sure about that?"Billy, presuming that Raymond had already noticed a catch, quickly said, "Well, the old man had an expert check it, and the expert said it was immediately obvious! To be honest, I want to sell it because the old man just passed away—gotta sell this baby before my brother goes for a garage sale."He had certainly added more details to the script, and Raymond nodded as he said nonchalantly, "But it doesn't look Renaissance to me. Sculptures from that era—be it the craftsmanship or the unique attributes? It's quite different from this one

In the antique trade, items that raised eyebrows would only be shown in the evenings—when various shops were about to close.That was certainly the case in Antique Street, as most items arriving in the evening were either freshly excavated, stolen, or forgery used to dupe unsuspecting victims.Even if Raymond had started his career abroad, he had learned every last unspoken rule during his earlier stint in Aurous Hill.Seeing the wariness on Billy's face and the way he was holding something in his arms, Raymond knew right away that what he carried wasn't legal.Still, the antique trade was no different here than it was abroad.Tomb raiding, forgery, or adding some touch-ups that increased the value of an item—everyone across the globe pretty much played the same tricks, and Raymond had his fair share of experience.Still, he did not let his wariness show, instead grinning, "Yes, of course. Come on in—let's talk inside!"And with that, he quickly led Billy inside.Meanwhile, bot

"Five hundred grand?"Mick chuckled. "Well, the sculpture looks Renaissance, and the craftsmanship as well as the material are all ideal. It would sell for up to two million in an auction, while established antique traders like us could offer up to a million. So, why the lowball?"Bill sighed. "I won't lie—it belonged to my old man, who just croaked this afternoon. But you see, he left a will stating that every antique in the house would be given to my brother… Since he's playing favorites, I thought I had to get something for myself.""That's why I quietly sneaked this baby out without anyone else knowing and am trying to sell it quickly to change my own circumstances. You don't have to tell me how many millions it's worth—I'm not that greedy. Give me five hundred grand, and it's yours."Mick shrugged as he shot back, "If it's as you say and your old man intended for your brother to have it, the fact that you sneaked it out here makes this theft. Do you think I'd buy stolen proper

It was half past six, and the skies were darkening when a figure hurried into Antique Street, heading straight toward the center—to Vintage Deluxe.Mick Crane, the manager, was holding the fort with some of his employees, and there were some guests window shopping there as well. As Mick asked the employees to assist the guests, he waited anxiously for Billy—Zachary's henchman.Nonetheless, a certain figure rushed inside within minutes, asking eagerly as he entered, "Is the manager in? Do you still buy antiques?""Yes, and yes!" Mick exclaimed as he approached Billy enthusiastically, asking, "May I ask what you're planning to sell?"Billy looked around before sneakily holding up a parcel wrapped in red cloth, carefully lifting a corner to reveal an edge so that Mick could see.Then, he promptly lowered the cloth again, whispering, "This is the good stuff. I'm just not sure if you have the money to buy it."Mick grinned. "What are you saying? If it's something Vintage Deluxe coul

Jacob chuckled. "Can't tell you right now. But I will once it's done.""Well, have you decided when we're going to Dubai?" Elaine quickly pressed.Jacob said, "I'd have to wait until tonight to see if this deal works, but we're leaving first thing tomorrow. I'll get the tickets first, and we will be staying at the Burj Al-Arab that I told you about. People are always saying how amazing it is on the internet every day, seeing how luxurious the seven-star hotel is, but I'll be the judge of that."Elaine was overjoyed to hear that. "That's amazing! And I was just thinking we can't go sooner! Go about your business, then. I'll pack our luggage right away."Jacob chuckled smugly. "Don't pack so much, though. Just stick to the necessities, since we can get the rest over there!""Alright!" Elaine exclaimed, beside herself in excitement. "Alright, you hurry up and get your thing done over there. I'll start packing now!"After hanging up, Elaine called Charlie, who was in Champs Elys Reso

As Zachary agreed to do a favor for Vintage Deluxe's Mick Crane in passing, he and Jacob agreed to meet up at 7pm at the car park by Antique Street.He first took Jacob back to the Calligraphy and Painting Association and called Billy, one of his boys whom he thought was smarter than the rest, giving him the gist of the plan and telling him to familiarize himself with the script.Then, he took the sculpture back to Heaven Springs and met up with Billy in office, telling Billy what to do in finer detail and making sure he committed everything to memory.Zachary's strength as a judge of character certainly proved itself—Billy had never done anything like this before, but he took to the plan like fish to water. He committed the script to memory soon enough, and he was flawless.Once he made sure that Billy was fine, Zachary called Mick.As soon as Mick answered, he immediately asked, "Hello, Mr. Evans. How is that thing we talked about going?"Zachary chuckled. All the arrangements

Zachary continued, "Why do you think casinos are always making a profit? It's exactly because no matter how unassuming a guest is the first time, they would be allowed to win a couple of hands, making a little profit.""And suddenly, they would think that they are the chosen one, destined to win against all odds and always come out triumphant! Once such radical, blind confidence hits them, every last bit of his money would be lost to the casino!""At that point, you can get anything from them—their house, their wife, their children… hell, they'd be willing to die if you'd just let them gamble again!"Turning toward Jacob with a grin, Zachary then asked, "So, with all the points I made and that sculpture you're holding… Do you still think Raymond wouldn't fall for it?"Jacob laughed out loud. "Oh, talk about a plan within a plan! No one would ever see it coming! Raymond Cole is so screwed!"Zachary smiled and nodded. "That's why there's no reason to rush—I'll arrange a man to get r

As soon as they drove out of the village, Jacob asked Zachary eagerly, "So, when do you think we should make our move? I can't wait!"Zachary didn't hesitate, "Let's do it today. It's better than waiting! I'll get someone reliable to bring this to Treasure Measure and get him interested. I'm sure that since he has just returned to Antique Street, he'll need a hot deal to generate hype and make himself known. That's why I'm sure he'll take this sculpture."Jacob nodded repeatedly as he chuckled. "I think so too. Today is definitely best since I'll be going to Dubai soon and probably leaving once I'm done with this. Once you get this settled by the end of today, I'll get tickets for the flight tomorrow!"Zachary grinned. "Don't worry, chief. We will definitely get it settled today…"He trailed off for a moment before continuing, "Still, you should be a little patient. We should do this in the evening—at the second just before Raymond Cole closes shop.""But why?" Jacob asked in curi
