Chapter 315 Jianghu is about human nature. It was getting dark. Zhang Ailun had no plan to stay here overnight or eat, so he asked the mercenaries and Qibatu and others to continue to guard the island, and would send more people over later. Taking Boktu and a few others, they left the private island in a Black Hawk helicopter and headed to a suburban hangar. It took some time to reach the destination and landed smoothly on the airport runway. After getting off the plane, he walked to the hangar, entered the hangar password, pushed the door open and walked in, and found that the Beggar Gang disciples had already loaded the Warthog with ammunition. After saying hello to a few people, Zhang Ailun took out his mobile phone, logged into , found the official bidding department of Tijuana, and contacted them in the background. Thunderbolt Armed Nation: Regarding the whereabouts of the wife and daughter of the mayor of Tijuana, we have received some relevant information and intelligence. Tijuana Tender Department: Really? That's great. Where did you get the information? Are they doing well now? Thunderbolt Armed Nation: According to a secret investigation by our intelligence personnel, we learned that an organization called White Dove accepted a kidnapping order on the dark web and kidnapped a 14-year-old girl and a 34-year-old mature woman. The real identities of the mother and daughter are suspected to be Debbie, the daughter of Reagan, the mayor of Tijuana, Mexico, and his wife, Mrs. Newman. Tijuana Bidding Department: Yes, these are indeed the mayor's wife and daughter. Where are they now? Have your people come into contact with them? If possible, please ensure their personal safety.
Thunderbolt Armed Nation: We have not actually contacted the two of them, but we have verified that they were kidnapped by terrorists and put into a red container numbered SH585V, which was transported to the port area by an MS-5800 Matsun Clipper via the Gulf of California. Now they should be transported away by a dark green Ford F-27 pickup truck with a license plate number of LS-49B-150, which will secretly transport them to the abandoned factory in the eastern suburbs of Los Angeles, where they will trade with drug cartels. Tijuana Tender Department: Those drug traffickers are in Los Angeles, California. Our people can't get there. This involves diplomatic issues, but we have contacted the DEA and they will verify it. If the news is true, they will definitely mobilize people to fight against the criminals! Thank you so much for the information you provided! Thunderbolt Armed Nation: What we hate most in our lives are drug dealers and human traffickers. If you need more weapons, you can also choose to place an order in our store. Tijuana Tenders: We will! Exited the chat box. After waiting for a while, an anonymous phone call came in. After Zhang Ailun answered the call, the other party directly introduced himself and explained his purpose. "Hello, is this Mr. Jin? We are DEA agents stationed in Los Angeles, California. Officials from Tijuana, Mexico, have contacted us. After our investigation, we found that a Matson Clipper had indeed transported goods to the port area, and a pickup truck was also captured by a camera heading to a suburban location. We are now ready to take action against those criminals." "However, due to the emergency, in order not to alert the enemy, we cancelled the original plan to recruit local police officers to cooperate in the crime, because those police officers may have accepted bribes and will help them tip off the drug dealers and terrorists. We heard that your Armed Nation is also engaged in escort work and security commissions, so we want to temporarily recruit your weapons and manpower to deal with the drug cartel. I wonder if you are willing to help us?" The DEA agent asked directly to borrow a gun and some people. Zhang Ailun pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Arresting drug dealers and combating human trafficking should be the responsibility of your DEA and FBI, right? We are just a small company engaged in arms trading. Guns and personnel are registered. We can only engage in buying and selling transactions, and cannot directly participate in fighting. We also provided them with relevant information because we have transactions and cooperation with Tijuana officials, and we do not intend to directly participate. What if there is an accidental discharge or accidental casualties, and someone holds us accountable?" Upon hearing this, the DEA agent immediately assured, "Please rest assured that if anything goes wrong, we will be responsible. We have applied to the higher authorities for approval of the operation. Due to the urgency of the situation, we have to recruit additional helpers from the outsourced military company. We understand that the employees of your Armed Nation are all veterans. They are obliged to cooperate with relevant departments to carry out the task of combating criminals. This is also allowed by local laws. We will reimburse the government for the guns and manpower we rent from you." "Ok, I'm relieved." Zhang Ailun smiled and said, "I wonder what weapons you want to borrow temporarily? We now have 30 people who can help you solve the case and rescue the hostages." Thirty people is a conservative number, but it does not take that many people to crack down on drug trafficking gangs. Let the people from the Narcotics Enforcement Administration take the lead and they can just provide fire support from the back. Anyway, it is impossible for the chief leader to let his subordinates fight to the death, so it is enough to give them face by just providing them with corresponding weapons and equipment. "Your Thunderbolt Armed Nation is a three-star qualified store that cooperates with the military, right? It should also have equipment with large-scale lethal firepower. We want to requisition at least one Black Hawk helicopter from you, as well as blasting drones, sniper rifles and other equipment." said the DEA agent. "We can provide you with fire support at any time." Zhang Ailun asked again in confusion: "Why don't you ask the people from PMC? They should be more professional than our people, right?" The DEA agent said helplessly, "Their people have already gone off duty, and it's not within the working hours. If we submit the request to recruit soldiers directly to the military, it will be approved, but the approval process will take at least a day, and during this period, it is very likely to attract the attention of the CIA. By then, those drug dealers will have long disappeared, and we can only rely on our own strength." “…” Zhang Ailun was speechless. The DEA has also suffered a lot at the hands of the CIA, and every time an operation fails it is basically because they are stabbed in the back by their own people. After communicating with each other for a while, they agreed to meet at the suburban airport. After Zhang Ailun hung up the phone, he turned around and informed the Beggar Gang disciples of the matter. He also notified the personnel in the Kiliyad Mountains and asked them to recruit thirty strong soldiers to gather together.
Half an hour later, the Beggar Gang disciples drove a van with their people over. Everyone was fully armed and carrying a variety of sophisticated equipment, ready to set out for a big fight at any time! Ten minutes later, the DEA people finally arrived. They drove a few inconspicuous Ford cars to the airport. More than a dozen people got out of the cars, all wearing DEA credentials on their chests. The leading detective came over and greeted the chief leader enthusiastically and shook his hand. "Hello, Mr. Jin. I am the detective of the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration stationed in Los Angeles, California. You can call me Lei Luo." "Inspector Lei Luo?" Zhang Ailun was a little uncomfortable with this name. But he still shook hands with him, looked at the dozen teammates in front of him, and glanced at their weapons configuration and transportation. Not to mention the shabby second-hand Ford, why is even the equipment so ordinary? If not everyone of you is equipped with an M4, then at least you should have a submachine gun, right? How come everyone was armed with a bulletproof vest, a Glock 17 pistol, several spare magazines, throwing explosives, and no helmets, and they just came here so quickly? The chief was confused by this and couldn't help but ask hesitantly: "Inspector Lei Luo, is your Narcotics Bureau doing so badly? How come you don't even have a decent weapon?" "This brings us to those damned CIA guys... ahem, actually our activity funds are mainly spent on the consulates in Mexico and Colombia. The severity of drug abuse in Los Angeles is not that high, and because of the legalization of cannabis, we don't need to do a lot of work. The FBI and the local police are particularly concerned about this kind of thing, so we don't need to do anything at all. Because if we intervene, they may not make any money, and it's easy to offend people working in the DEA." "Los Angeles is relatively stable, far less than the drug abuse in New York, Miami, and Chicago, so we rarely get financial support on weekdays." Inspector Lei Luo was also helpless, but still assured: "But the personnel recruited this time, without exception, are all elites of our Narcotics Enforcement Bureau!" As he spoke, he was looking at the well-equipped Beggars' Sect disciples, and he became more and more satisfied. And the Black Hawk helicopter that was pulled out, look at it, how majestic and domineering it is. Wait, there's a Warthog here? "Mr. Jin, where did you get this A10 Warthog? It should not just be a toy model for collection, right?" Lei Luo said in surprise. The Beggars' Sect disciple immediately replied: "Of course this is not a model. We just finished debugging and flight testing this afternoon, and it can be used for missions." Inspector Lei Luo smiled even more happily. “……”I can see that you just want to get my fucking for free! The chief took a deep breath. He had been getting free stuff from others for so many years, and now someone shameless finally came to get free stuff from him? There is no other way. Life still needs to go on. The leader still hopes that the Tijuana officials will find him to place more orders. He cannot be too stingy. This little money should not be taken seriously. If he goes back to Tijuana to sell a few more orders, millions of dollars will be in his account! Jianghu is not about fighting and killing; Jianghu is about human relations. "We're just dealing with some drug dealers and human traffickers, so we shouldn't need the Warthog. Aren't we going to rescue the hostages?" Zhang Ailun said. "That's wrong! This mission concerns the DEA's reputation! It also concerns foreign policy. The drug cartel ran from our territory to Mexico and kidnapped the mayor's wife and daughter. We must crack down on the criminals! Otherwise, if the CIA takes the initiative and then voluntarily hands over the drug dealers, our ability and voice will be further questioned by the public." Inspector Lei Luo said seriously. In my opinion, you don't seem to have much power in your own country. You have a tense relationship with the military, you are an opponent of the FBI, and you are an enemy of the CIA. "Okay, I can provide you with A10 air-to-ground fire support, but the government needs to reimburse me for the cost of the bullets consumed," said Zhang Ailun. "No problem." Inspector Lei Luo agreed readily. But the chief felt that this guy was not very reliable. After communicating with each other, they made relevant combat deployments. They boarded the Black Hawk helicopter. The pilot of the Beggar Gang disciple was also responsible for flying the A10 attack aircraft and flew out from the runway of the airport. Boktu also flew high into the sky in a Black Hawk helicopter, while the rest of the Beggars' Sect disciples took ground transportation to the suburbs. It's quiet at night. In a suburban storage plant, a pickup truck loaded with wooden boxes, under the cover of night, turned into a small road and stopped at the gate of the factory. Several armed men armed with guns came out, communicated with them, confirmed their identities, and then waved them to let them go. The pickup truck entered the community unimpeded and then parked in the park's parking garage. The car door was opened, and several masked terrorists with white dove tattoos and patterns on their arms got out of the car. They opened the car door, carried the wooden box down and placed it on a cart.
A few people pushed a cart to the factory, exchanged a few words with the people outside, and were allowed to pass. When we arrived inside the factory, what we saw were piles of US dollar cash wrapped in plastic and sealed, amounting to at least tens of millions of US dollars. A one-eyed man wearing camouflage clothes, smoking a cigarette, with an obvious scar on his face, and several drug cartel members holding guns standing beside him. Seeing them bringing the people over, the one-eyed man nodded, said a few words of praise in Spanish, and then waved his hand. The drug cartel member next to him turned around, took out a few stacks of banknotes from the pile, and threw them to the other party. The armed men of White Dove took several stacks of cash . dollar bills, looked deeply at the pile of . dollar bills, nodded, turned around and left with their men. After Bai Ge's men left, the drug cartel members nearby immediately used a crowbar to pry open the mortise and tenon structure of the wooden box, destroying the box and revealing two women, one large and one small, inside. They were tied up, their mouths and noses were blocked, and they were in a coma. "Boss, are these Mayor Reagan's wife and daughter? They look really good! Should we torture them first, make a video and send it to the people in Tijuana, and then negotiate a deal with them? If they don't agree to release our people and drugs, and don't allow us to continue drug trafficking, we will just torture them both severely and bury them alive." A member of the drug cartel suggested. After hearing this, the one-eyed man immediately refused. "The rebels in Tijuana are not ordinary organizations. They have a tough attitude. If we really hurt these two people, they will definitely fight us to the death. They also cooperate with the DEA and have destroyed many drug trafficking organizations. If things get too serious and it's hard to stop, we will definitely be abandoned by those people." "Now the DEA people don't know where we are. They will never think that we would kidnap people in California. The most dangerous place is the safest place! They are now looking for people all over the city like headless flies. They probably think we are in Mexico! Hahahaha..." The people from the drug trafficking group laughed. The one-eyed dragon also snorted when he heard this. (End of this chapter)
