Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2251 - 2227: Confidence

All the hardware equipment is ready; next, we need to work on the software. The first point is how to infiltrate the pure military enthusiast group.

Working on two fronts, Gao Yang needs to infiltrate both the Allied Forces and the German Army. America, Britain, Canada, Germany - whichever he can blend into counts.

Gao Yang and three snipers traveled thousands of miles to America to test and verify their rifles, while others were not idle either. To be precise, Gao Yang mobilized all the forces he could.

The flights were booked by Little Donnie. After Gao Yang and his team arrived in Greece from America and managed to get four rifles out of the airport, the three immediately split up.

Phoenix and Cui Bo went to Sword Beach to collect the first-hand and most accurate meteorological data. As for Gao Yang, he initially wanted to practice more, but reality left him no time for training.

The prospect of infiltrating the military enthusiast group looks bleak.

"I’ve acquired a list. The military enthusiast groups from America and Canada have been identified. They come from two associations, totaling three hundred and sixty-two people."

After Justin handed over the list, he looked helpless and said, "Everyone on this list knows each other, and the worse part is, even though this is a civilian operation, the list has been filed with America and France, and cannot be altered anymore, meaning, you can’t add your name to this list unless you replace someone from it."

Disguising is not omnipotent. Changing one’s appearance to make it difficult for others to easily recognize them is relatively simple, but to disguise as a specific person and appear in a crowd of people familiar with them without being recognized is simply impossible.

This difficulty was expected. Gao Yang didn’t even look at the list, put it aside casually, and asked, "What about the British?"

"Haven’t gotten the British list, but the situation is roughly the same. The British participating are also from a military enthusiast organization, and they know each other. The difficulty of blending in is high, but perhaps there’s still a chance."

Gao Yang frowned and said, "We went to the scene to check it out. Actually, the opportunity to shoot from a confident position is within the German Army’s fortress. The best choice is to infiltrate the German Army fortress. So what’s the situation in Germany?"

Justin glanced at Yarebin, then spread his hands and said, "The opportunity is in Germany because, until now, the players for the German Army have not been determined. Whether Germans should play the World War II German Army, or foreigners play Germans, has been a topic of heated dispute, and this uncertainty implies an opportunity."

Gao Yang became interested and asked, "What’s going on?"

Justin spread his hands and said, "The German official government does not wish for their nationals to participate, but cannot directly say it. The Germans want to participate, but the German official government does not grant them permission. Meanwhile, the French and Americans actually want the Germans to participate."

Yarebin slowly said, "Even if it’s acting, having Germans play the German Army and experience another defeat always feels more genuine."

Gao Yang sighed and said, "Then let’s put some effort into the German side."

Justin immediately said, "Eileen contacted a military enthusiast organization in Germany likely to attend the ceremony; she hopes you can visit them."

At this point, Yarebin slowly said, "I believe the choice of snipers might need changing."

Gao Yang looked at Yarebin and asked, "What do you mean?"

Yarebin said solemnly, "You and Rabbit, two Asians, Undying Bird, a woman, no matter how you disguise, having Asians and a woman appear in the Normandy landing battlefield is very strange. This means that even if it’s a performance, although you might get in, you’d stand out, reducing shooting opportunities, and even if you shoot, it’s difficult to escape. Therefore, the best candidate is Tarta."

Gao Yang generally prefers to handle shooting tasks himself, but Yarebin’s point was also valid. If you stand out too much, the success probability of this task decreases drastically.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Yang nodded and said, "Makes sense, so Tarta, can you manage?"

Tarta appeared uncertain then, slowly said, "Hard to say, hitting Mario’s head with an old 98K at a distance over four hundred meters is really difficult."

It is necessary to shoot at a head-sized target, rather than a larger torso target, for a good reason. Mario will most likely be seated in the middle of a group of big figures, allowing only his head for shooting, and absolutely without misfire.

Gao Yang’s 98K uses a ZF41 scope, which has only a 1.5x magnification and a very small field of view. But during Fedor’s time, the ZF was the best choice; a better ZF42 with 4x magnification came later, which Fedor didn’t get to use.

Gao Yang still hit targets over four hundred meters using the ZF41, but at that distance, he couldn’t see the target’s face at all. The scope’s performance couldn’t guarantee hitting the head-sized target, so to be safe, he swapped the rifle Fedor left him with a ZF42 scope.

Historical accuracy is important; otherwise, blending into the military enthusiast group is impossible. Necessary equipment is even more crucial; having the chance to shoot but missing would be tragic.

Tarta saying he isn’t confident is normal, but Gao Yang can do it.

Gao Yang slowly said, "I can do it. I can hit a head target at 450 meters while standing, needing someone to provide me shooting data ahead, but no test shooting; I can hit it."

Yarebin breathed out, looked at Gao Yang and said, "Then there’s no choice. You must sneak into the German Army group yourself, with Tarta as your assistant, ditching Rabbit and Undying Bird since they stand out more."

Gao Yang hesitated a bit. He cooperates most seamlessly with Cui Bo, but Cui Bo indeed stands out, as does Phoenix. Tarta, while another expert marksman, Gao Yang has never done long-range shooting with him before.

Having thought a moment later, Gao Yang still said, "Let’s practice again. If feasible, let Tarta replace Rabbit."

Yarebin then shook his head and said, "I always find this plan very unreliable because the foundation of success is whether you can hit Mario. Given the shooting difficulties and its impacts, one mistake, and it’s all over."

Gao Yang confidently said, "If given the chance to shoot, I won’t miss."
