The Mercenaries



Good afternoon, Mr. Phelps.  You're looking at Colonel Hans Krim, the leader of a mercenary army currently ravaging equatorial Africa.  Ostensibly, Krim fights for the cause of emerging nations, but in reality he is nothing but a military gangster who plunders ally and enemy alike.  Krim and his mercenaries have converted their loot into gold bars which are kept within the enclave used as headquarters.  Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to destroy Krim and return the gold.  As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.  This tape will self-destruct in five seconds.   Good luck, Jim.
