Mark Rich finally convinced Khamenei, and as the two reached a consensus, four F-14 Tomcat fighter jets took off from the front line and flew to the sea area where the incident occurred. Escort the Goddess of Demeter. At the same time, the chief engineer of the Demeter Goddess is investigating the loss of the tanker. The torpedo just now damaged a watertight compartment of the Demeter Goddess, and the chief engineer has temporarily closed the cabin door. closed, but the injured tanker could not travel at full speed and could only slowly head towards Dubai.
The mercenaries of the International Risk Consulting Company have already sent a distress signal to the nearby US ships at this moment, but the US government only agreed to provide the detection data of the surrounding airspace, and once it finds that there is an aircraft appearing nearby, it will send a distress signal to the Goddess of Demeter alarm. So in this extremely dangerous situation, the mercenaries of the international risk consulting company waited anxiously for the next fate.
An hour later, ships near the U.S. military issued a warning to the Goddess of Demeter. Three fighter planes from Iraq were approaching the Goddess of Demeter. In addition, there were four fighter planes from Iran. It is also heading towards the sea area where the Goddess of Demeter is located. The U.S. Navy has locked the signal from the moment the Iranian fighter plane took off. Once the Iranian fighter plane crosses the center line of the Persian Gulf and approaches the Saudi side, the U.S. military will shoot it down without hesitation.
After hearing the news, the combat helicopters of the International Risk Consulting Company flew to the sea area without hesitation, because in case of any accident, these armed helicopters can rescue the companions on the Goddess Demeter nearby.
Time passed little by little, and the mercenaries on the Goddess of Demeter were extremely nervous.
"The Goddess Demeter! The Goddess Demeter! The Iranian fighter jets will arrive in the sky in five minutes. Please be ready to abandon the ship and escape. In the event of any accident, the U.S. Army will be your strong backing..."
The mercenaries naturally didn't believe what the U.S. military said. The military must obey the command of politicians, and the mission of the international risk consulting company is to protect the employer. Safeguard the personal and property safety of the employer. Today's events have well demonstrated that the mercenaries in the Persian Gulf are much more reliable than the US military.
Five minutes later, the roar of warplanes began to come from a distance, and then they got closer and closer. Before the mercenaries could make any response, four Iranian fighter planes passed the deck of the Goddess Demeter at low altitude. Then it flew off into the distance.
The mercenaries were only about to target the four planes and open fire directly. When they saw that the four planes left the Goddess of Demeter behind and flew towards the rear of the ship regardless, no one could understand why.
"Captain, how long before we cross the center line of the Persian Gulf?" The mercenary commander on board asked impatiently.
"There is still about half an hour!" The captain looked at the computer screen in the cockpit,
Then he answered seriously.
"Hurricane One! Hurricane One! Please answer!" The mercenary commander used the Iridium system to communicate with the helicopter support team of the International Risk Consulting Company.
"I'm Hurricane One, report your location!" the rescue team of the International Risk Consulting Company asked.
"We are still half an hour away from the center line of the Persian Gulf. By the way, the Iranian plane flew over our heads just now. Do you know what happened?" the mercenary commander asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, you're safe now!" replied the helicopter support team.
When the Iranian fighter planes passed the Goddess of Demeter, they flew towards the fighter planes sent by the Iraqi side. In the ensuing battle, Iran's F-14 Tomcat fighter jets shot down three Iraqi fighter jets that were ordered to sink the Goddess of Demeter. This time, the Iraqi side suffered heavy losses. I believe they will not come again for a long time Harassment of Mediterranean shipping ships.

The Demeter Goddess sailed into Dubai Harbor without any risk, and then the Demeter Goddess unloaded the crude oil and was towed to the dock to check the extent of the damage. After careful inspection, the overall structure of the Goddess of Demeter did not suffer any damage, but a large hole was blown in a watertight compartment, and the crude oil on the Goddess of Demeter was transferred to the Mediterranean Sea through special equipment. On another ship of the shipping company, continue to complete the next voyage.
After the incident, the International Risk Consulting Company became famous on the Persian Gulf route. This also made the US military begin to re-evaluate the combat level of a newly established private security company such as International Risk Consulting Company. Because the attack on ships in the Persian Gulf has seriously threatened the safety of oil tankers on this oil transportation artery, but the U.S. military is inconvenient to intervene due to political reasons, which makes the U.S. government feel very angry.
The emergence of the International Risk Consulting Company has given the U.S. government a new choice. Because of the nature of the International Risk Consulting Company's private security company, they do not have to worry too much about dealing with many issues. This time the Demeter Goddess was in distress, and the U.S. government saw the excellent military quality of the mercenaries of the International Risk Consulting Company. The U.S. Fleet Command stationed in the Persian Gulf began to consider whether it should establish a cooperative relationship with an international risk consulting company and outsource some things that the U.S. military is inconvenient to do to this private security company. At that time, the mercenaries of the international risk consulting company will charge forward, and the U.S. government only needs to provide intelligence assistance, just like what the U.S. military did in the Demeter Goddess incident.
The International Risk Consulting Company succeeded in the first battle, which allowed Ivankov to be affirmed by Sergey Shale, who decided to strike while the iron was hot, expand the scale of mercenaries of the International Risk Consulting Company, and purchase more advanced weapons to enhance the reputation of the International Risk Consulting Company. overall combat capability. Therefore, with the support of Sergei Sha, the headquarters of the International Risk Consulting Company in El Paso, Texas, began to conduct public bidding for weapons, ordering a batch of armed helicopters, transport aircraft, armored combat vehicles and other equipment. Sha wants to establish this security company as a paramilitary organization deployed on the US-Mexico border.
Ivankov and Yuri moved very quickly. They quickly purchased four Hercules transport planes, one hundred Humvee military jeeps, fifty armored infantry vehicles and other heavy equipment. These Hercules transport planes were eliminated and stored by the US military. Airplanes, Hummer military jeeps and armored infantry vehicles are also second-hand goods eliminated by the US military, but even so, the strength of the international risk consulting company is enough to disdain the global security companies.
