Chapter 1456 - Applying Psychological Pressure
The madmen on the farm are on high alert, and it's not surprising that whoever let the two sides fight during the day, tonight the vigilance of the people inside is the highest and most nervous, and the mental and physical state will obviously be at a very good level.
After observing this point on the south side, I took the things and circled the Buick car to the support point on the east side of the encirclement to observe again.
One after another, they went around in circles, and by the time they got back to the south = it was already close to three o'clock in the middle of the night, and according to observation, the people in the manor were still on guard and did not relax in the slightest.
Some of Joshua's subordinates came to see the situation, and in order to make a familiar face, so as not to have a misunderstanding. Andrei simply lent two night vision devices to the other party, and also taught them how to use them and precautions, and finally said: "Don't break it, it's a six-digit one, it's expensive."
Also, there are not many spare batteries, which is quite difficult to match, so you can figure it out yourself. β
After saying that, I got into Joshua's Buick car and went to the hotel, and it didn't make much sense to continue to observe tonight, so there was no need to blow the cold wind here, although I didn't have to sleep for the time being after arriving at the hotel.
I went to the federal building to pick up the car first, and then arrived at the hotel in about ten minutes: sure enough, as Steven Taylor said before, the conditions were average, next to a gas station, almost in the state of no village in front of the village, no store in the back, and within two or three hundred meters of the nearby gas station, there was a fast food restaurant that closed at night.
I understand, this is a relatively large motel, or the kind that does not provide catering, and if you want to eat, you have to get the fast food restaurant next door to solve it.
The hotel has three floors, two rows inside and outside, and the houses are very long, and it is estimated that there can be hundreds of rooms. There are also advantages to living here, the door is the road to the target farm, and it is only ten kilometers away from there.
The motel is cheap, it doesn't cost much for the whole package, and the parking is super easy.
It would already be past three o'clock in the morning, and it was not particularly quiet here, so the ATF had set up a checkpoint in front of the hotel, so as not to have any crooked necks from outside to support their sect leader and headquarters.
There will also be ATF enforcers in tactical vests and M16s in the parking lot, presumably just waking up to change shifts on the farm, which is a clear indication of the rhythm of a protracted battle.
It's okay, Steve Taylor at least doesn't have a brain, thinking that a day or two will solve the problem.
Don't expect the conditions to be good in the motel, there are no suites, and the rooms for the experts are located on the east side of the second floor, with a row of corridors that double as balconies in front of them.
Each person has a bed of one meter and three widths, and the facilities of ordinary hotels are all available, and they look very clean.
As soon as he entered the room, Joshua said, "My room is next door, and something calls me." β
After saying that, he was going to leave, planning to call his uncle.
He is the second person in charge of ATF in Weico, which sounds very good, but in fact, he has just been promoted, and there are few people under him, which is similar to the situation of the deputy director of a small Huaxia police station.
This case is directly responsible for the state-level ATF, and there is really not much to do with Joshua, and there is a No. 1 person in charge in front of the tank.
Now he is carrying out a special task assigned by his superiors, and it is not directly ordered by his uncle, so no one can say whether it is wrong or not.
However, Joshua didn't make it, and here Andre spread out a few farm building drawings in his hand on the coffee table, and said to him: "Don't be in a hurry to rest first, there are still things you need to do." β
I'm really welcome not to ask you to do it.
It was not surprising to Joshua that his job was to cooperate with the two of them. I sat down on the simple sofa chair with the back next to the coffee table, and looked at the drawings twice: some marks were drawn with pencils on them, all of which were the results of observations.
Andrei went to the bathroom, came back and sat on the edge of the bed, and said: "Don't count on a tank attack, if you are not careful, it will be a big hole, but I recommend that you transfer a few vehicles to the farm as soon as possible."
Yes, then don't waste it. β
Joshua's mind turned, "Put on the pressure!"
"Yes, tanks can put a lot of psychological pressure on the field troops in the plains, let alone deal with the madmen in the farms.
There is still a big difference between a madman, a civilian madman and a soldier who goes mad, and if you are lucky, you can break the will of some of the incompletely brainwashed believers.
You can get the tank close to the farm building and take a closer look, and the members inside don't have to worry about the threat of the opponent's guns, so it's still a bit useful, just don't get close enough to be thrown a cocktail bottle..."
As AndrΓ© spoke, Joshua began to take notes in a small notebook.
Very good habits, good memory is not as good as a bad pen, this obviously understands.
β... Also, it's so quiet tonight that both you and the maniacs on the farm tend to doze off. I see that the nearest farmstead house is also five or six hundred meters away, and the people have been evacuated, right?"
"Yes, after the shootout broke out in the morning, the residents of the neighborhood ran away, and at noon we evacuated all the residents within a radius of 1.5 km.
In fact, there are not many people, just 7 farmers, some of them are arranged to hotels in the city, and a few families go to relatives and friends. β
The ATF is quite thoughtful, stray bullets are not long-sighted, and if there is a mistake, it will be troublesome.
A large area was farms, and the livestock raised on several farms were temporarily transferred to other nearby farms, and those farmers lost some of their crops at most.
Besides, this will be the end of February, and there will not be much to lose on the issue of agricultural products, and if it takes too long, the ATF has also promised to give these farmers a certain amount of financial compensation, and the farmers have no problem for the time being.
They are red-necked, Texas cowboys who love to carry guns when they go out, but they don't want to take risks without anything, not to mention that the "Apocalypse Ranch" is inhabited by rednecks and crooked necks who don't want to be provoked!
Joshua thought that the expert was thinking about the safety of nearby residents, but he didn't expect Andre to ask this because of safety issues at all - this is a risk factor of tens of thousands, or even a "one in a million" probability of accidental injury from a stray bullet, and Andrei will not consider this at all this time.
He also didn't care about the comfort of the neighbors, and to the American media, the ten deaths outside the farm were not as important as the death of a woman and child on the farm, and the same was true for Andre.
He and Alexander had come to help find a solution to the problem of the Crooked Neck Farm, and it was none of their business to kill a few unlucky people outside.
So why ask about evacuation?
Joshua soon knew, and after figuring it out, he instantly felt that the two experts in front of him were not only damn immoral, but also damaged!
Here Andrei asked: "Since you have M41 fierce dogs, this is the ultimate killer weapon for explosion-proof vehicles in China, are these tanks equipped with explosion-proof tweeters?"
