Gao Guang's biggest problem now was that he lacked a reliable force that could create a pincer movement from the outside.
The Black Sea Mercenary Corps wasn't an option because they had suffered heavy casualties and couldn't continue to participate in the war in the short term.
It was also impossible to rely on Warfire's Baghdad branch, as Warfire wouldn't directly involve themselves in the confrontation between Gao Guang and Morris. They could offer as much support as possible, but direct involvement in the combat was out of the question. So Gao Guang didn't even bother asking, to avoid embarrassment for everyone.
Getting the CIA directly involved in combat was even more unrealistic. Although the CIA had the capability, if they were to engage directly, it was uncertain to what extent they could damage Morris. However, the consequences might be too severe for Tom and Gao Guang to bear.
