Hernandez waved his hand and said, "You're wrong. Remember who came two days ago? ”

"The guerrillas? A guy named Perez? Suleiman asked.

"Yes. That's him. Hernandez picked up the phone as he spoke, "I made a deal with him. Actually, he's not too far from El Carmen right now. His people will help us deal with those American bastards. With that, he dialed a number.

On the other side of the phone, he was quickly connected, and Hernandez didn't talk nonsense, and said directly in Spanish: "My friend, the last time I talked to you, we can start." Right. Right away, do you have any manpower? Sixty people? OK. Let's go first. The money I'm ready. It's all cash, you let me know when you get to El Carmen, you don't have to tell you the location, I'll let my people take you there. Okay, I'll see you at midnight. ”

Hernandez hung up, smiled, sighed, and said in English, "Hire them for five million dollars." But only about 60 people came. However, he said that he would start to rush for more manpower immediately. As he spoke, he looked at Suleiman and said, "Do you think sixty or so people are enough?" ”

"It depends on what kind of person they are and what kind of equipment they are carrying." Suleiman said.

"He said that they were the most competent people under him, and that they had a duty to deal with the Yankees, and promised not to let me down." Hernandez said with a disdainful sneer: "I think it should be said that when there are dollars, they have a responsibility." After saying that, he looked at Suleiman and said, "Then you will take people and keep an eye on them." Act with them. ”

Suleiman immediately seemed to be excited when Hernandez said this, but then he added: "We are gone, what are you going to do here?" ”

Hernandez said: "Just leave some people behind." Who cares about this when you do it? Besides, if there is a disturbance I will leave immediately, and I will be able to enter Venezuela in ten minutes, twenty minutes at most, what is there to worry about? The purpose of my calling you here is actually to prepare you to participate in the operation against the Americans. Take the people here, and your mission tonight is to eliminate as many Americans as possible. ”

"Then I'll only take ten people with me. The rest of the people are here to watch. Suleiman said uneasily.

"No need!" Hernandez waved his hand and said, "So be it." You bring your people and my own people, they all speak English, and they are more familiar with you and more obedient. Let the Colombians here stay and guard this place. There were a dozen or so people, and it was enough. ”

Seeing that Hernandez's attitude was very resolute, Suleiman did not insist anymore, but stood up and said, "Okay. Then I'll prepare. ”

"Let's go," Hernandez nodded, "the guerrillas will probably get here in the middle of the night." To be on the safe side, I may have to enlist the help of some friends and some people who are willing to fill the Yankees with dirt. ”

Just when Hernandez, who was supposed to be the prey, wanted to prepare for his attack by surprise. John, Pete, and the others, led by Lance's subordinate Santos, went to the southeast side of El Carmen, and stopped in a wooded area about two or three hundred meters away from the intersection of the path leading to the area where the target was.

Santos turned off the car and looked around to make sure there was no movement before he said, "We can only park here." Further on, it is easy to spot. ”

John didn't say much, but reached out and opened the car door and got out of the car. Pete quickly followed after seeing John get out of the car. It was quiet, except for the sound of insects at the moment, but the sound of my own and other people's shoes rubbing against the ground.

"How far is it from there?" John asked, after looking around.

"There's still about 400 meters to the intersection over there." Santos said as he walked out of the woods, and we walked along the side of the road, and we would be there soon, so you each watch your step.

John nodded and beckoned to Pete for them to follow, then quickly caught up with Santos and whispered, "How close were you to that house when you guys were closer?" ”

Santos thought for a moment and said, "We've all looked around there. You can't get too close. Surveillance is placed on the barbed wire fence on all sides, as well as under the eaves of the rim of the house. We could only look through the surrounding woods, which were about a hundred meters away as recently as possible. ”

"So you've been around and found anything? For example, do they have any traps around? Alarms or even mines or something? John asked.

"Nope. There was nothing around there. It is that there is grass and trees, and it is relatively dense, and the vision is not good. Santos said.

John nodded and said nothing, and after walking for about three or four minutes, they came to the junction that led to the target's area.

Santos, who led the way, slowly slowed down and stopped after passing the intersection. After looking back and forth, he pointed to the direction of nine o'clock and whispered, "That's the way to the gate." Just go in from there and walk about 200 meters to see the door. The gate is an iron fence gate, and there is a watchtower not far from the gate. ”

John looked at it and said, "Are there many watchtowers?" Is there only one or how many? ”

"Not much. As far as our reconnaissance is concerned. There are watchtowers at the two entrances and exits, and the other is on the east side. On the west side, there is no gate because it is close to the west side. ”

"Where did you come from?" John asked.

Santos pointed to the other side and said, "Right from here." We used to try to go down that path. But it's not a good place to observe, in short, when you can see each other, the other person can see us, and the people on that watchtower can easily spot us. So we can only pass through the woods. ”

"Then let's do it. Take us the way you have walked before. After John finished speaking, he looked back at Pete and said, "Be vigilant, be careful." ”

While Pete and the others expressed their understanding, Santos walked out with his feet raised after looking at the situation outside. He moved quickly, and he was clearly familiar with the place. After crossing the road that headed east, it entered the woods outside the target area.

Pete and the others didn't move so fast, although they also had night vision equipment, they still didn't go fast, but followed the line that Santos had walked to the woods while paying attention to the movements around them.

"Don't go too fast." John said, "Even if you think it's perfectly fine here, don't be too fast. After speaking, he pointed to the opposite side and said, "How far do you want to go?" Is it about the same distance from the path to the door? ”
