The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Wesley didn’t hesitate to respond, Mr. Wade, we’ll start making the layout now, and when the time comes, our subordinate will personally go to the copper mine to take charge and make sure he doesn’t come back!”

“Good,” Charlie said, “By the way, Wesley, I have one more thing.

Since the plan to overthrow the nest is already in motion, I suggest that we start evacuating personnel in advance.”

Charlie continued, “If the other party suspects that there’s a problem with this base or wants to come here to find clues, they’ll only enter from the ground, and we won’t give them a chance to act.

We’ll fire at them as soon as they’re detected.

That’s why we should evacuate the families of the dead soldiers from the underground and move them to a boat…”

“This way, the guards on the ground and their families will also be ready to evacuate at any time.

We need to arrange the details of the evacuation, such as the number of people, who’s responsible for transferring important materials, and who’s in charge of the final full-scale blasting.

Everyone needs to divide the work in advance.

This will also reduce the transfer pressure when we start the nest cover plan.

We should remove the close-in defense gun and take it with us.

After all, we’ll need it in our Syrian base.”

Wesley was eager to put Charlie’s plan into action, “No problem!” he declared.

“We’ll start by taking care of the Blackwater personnel and then proceed to the copper mine to meet with the Master and make a solid plan.”

Charlie offered a word of caution, “Just make sure not to kidnap anyone from Syria.

We don’t want to raise any suspicion.”

“Got it,” Wesley replied confidently, “I’ll head to Iraq instead, bring them back quietly to Syria.”

Charlie gave a nod of approval, “That sounds like a solid plan.

Let’s do it!”
