Volume 3: The Road of the Strong Chapter 31: The Son of the Narcos
The three of them were in no mood to go out in an instant, but fortunately, they were all at the base, so there was no need to rush to the command room. The three of them each went back to the dormitory to rest for a while, and then arrived at the combat command room on time according to Rogers' request.
All of SK's team members also arrived within the allotted time, and Captain Rogers was still sitting in his place, smiling apologetically when he saw that everyone had arrived.
Then, Rogers stood up and said slightly apologetically, "Everyone, I'm really sorry to disturb everyone's rest." I got a notification from T3 at noon today, and it instructed us that the mission was ahead of schedule. As you all know, there is no way we can refuse such a task! ”
Rogers pressed the remote control, and a picture of a young man who looked 30 years old and was supposed to be Mexican appeared on the big screen. The person in the photo has long hair, thick eyebrows, and slightly serious eyes, and has no features in terms of appearance.
Rogers pointed to the photo and said, "This is our employer's son, and this is also our target this time, the most valued son of a famous drug lord in Mexico." For some reason I can't tell you his real name, so we'll call him Target 1 for this mission.
Our intelligence and intelligence services report that Target 1 is currently being kidnapped by another recently emerging Mexican gang. The leader of the gang that kidnapped him, codenamed Poison Shark, was once a subordinate of Target 1's father, and has been helping the target's father in his drug transportation and trafficking business.
Later, by chance, the poisonous shark befriended a certain powerful figure in Colombia. Since then, Poison Shark has left his old club and set up his own business to run a drug business, from which he has also made a huge fortune. Because the business philosophy of Poison Shark is obviously different from that of the old club, the two sides have constant conflicts of size until they finally become mortal enemies. There have also been many clashes between the armed forces of both sides, each with casualties.
In terms of overall strength, the power of the poisonous shark is not enough to compete with the old club. But in order to protect his drug business, he hires an ultra-small mercenary group and kidnaps Target 1 to blackmail his old employer. Poison Shark has followed his old club for many years and knows their family very well. He knew that the No. 1 target was the best child in his old club's family, and it was very likely that he would inherit his father's business in the future, so he attacked him! ”
Rogers switched the target's footage to a map of the U.S.-Mexico border, and continued, "The intelligence services don't have exact information about the ultra-small mercenary group, and can only determine that they have 12 more people in total, 4 of which were lost in the kidnapping of Target 1, and there are currently 8 left.
Target 1 was hidden in a secret stronghold in the jungle east of Tijuana, near Tecat, and was guarded by this mercenary group. In addition to the members of the mercenary group, there are at least 50 Poison Shark's subordinates and 1 person in charge. The Poison Sharks are battling our employer in Tijuana, and Target 1 is the last trump card in the hands of Poison Shark.
Our employers are moving people from other cities, and it's hard to say if they can help me for the time being. But he also contained Poison Shark's men, and we shouldn't encounter armed reinforcements from drug dealers on Poison Shark's side, so the pressure to rescue will be much less! ”
Rogers pointed to the map on the screen with a laser pointer and continued, "My mission consists of two parts: first, we will secretly infiltrate the jungle where the target is hiding from the border between the United States and Mexico, rescue the target, and then withdraw to the United States, where we will be picked up by our people.
Then, we had to drive through Duursula, San Diego, and cross the San Diego border into Tijuana to get the target to the employer.
There will be a commission of 12 million for this mission, which is not too high. As you know, none of these tasks will have a high commission, but T3 will not charge a commission either. The most likely combat zone of the mission is the jungle where the target is imprisoned, or if we rescue Target 1, we may also be attacked by the Poison Shark after entering Tijuana. ”
Roger turned to face everyone and asked, "Okay, that's the mission, what's the problem?" ”
The male dog was the first to say: "Captain, after we rescued the target, we are only a few dozen kilometers away from Tijuana, and we can send him directly to Tijuana, why do we have to go around in such a big circle from the United States and back to Tijuana?" ”
The ronin poked the male dog and said, "Stupid, it's safe to enter the United States." We drive within the U.S. and you don't understand it! ”
Rogers smiled and said, "The ronin is right, there will be someone in the United States to protect our safety and escort us all the way to the San Diego-Tijuana border. Another important issue is that the poisonous sharks control all air traffic in Tijuana and the surrounding cities, and we can't evacuate by helicopter.
It's not far from the jungle where the target is located to Tijuana in a straight line, but the terrain is very complex. If we go overland, we will have to cross a mountain range, which may take longer and will be more likely to be pursued and ambushed. This route is currently the safest, and this is also what T3 has negotiated with the people above. ”
Rogers looked at everyone again and said, "If there is no problem, let's go and prepare, let's leave at 20:30 in the evening and take the car to the destination!" ”
Everyone left one after another, but Yang Fan stayed.
Seeing that Yang Fan didn't leave, Rogers said directly: "Say it, I know you will have questions." ”
Yang Fan smiled awkwardly and said, "Captain, you told me that although we are mercenaries, we are not people who do all kinds of evil. None of the targets we've been targeting in previous missions are good people, so I've always believed in you.
But this so-called government mission is for us to rescue a drug lord who has done all kinds of evil, a drug lord who has harmed countless families, and the United States should be the most affected by the Mexican drug lord. This...... Why is that? ”
Captain Rogers looked at Yang Fan and said with a smile: "Yang Fan, there are still too many things in this world that you don't know. You were born in a peaceful country and a stable family, and the entanglement of interests between countries is not something you can understand. Perhaps, if you have been in this circle for a long time, you will gradually understand.
For this mission, I can only tell you that if we don't save this man, once the poison shark replaces our employer, then the drug market will be uncontrollable, and then the drug will be even more rampant. That's all I can say, and as for the relationship between the United States and Mexico, or between the U.S. government and Mexican drug traffickers, you can surely know a little bit about it! ”
Rogers looked at Yang Fan, who was thinking seriously, and continued: "Yang Fan, you must know that we, even the T3, are very small in the conflict of interests between countries, and what we can do is also very limited.
A lot of things you think are bad because you just think of them as a result of the past. But if you look at it from a different perspective and look at it as a cause for the future, it could be a different story entirely. What you thought was meaningless, even bad, can turn into something very meaningful.
Don't just look at our goal as the child of a drug family that does all kinds of evil, you have to look further. Our target is likely to be an important figure in the coming era who will influence the Mexican drug market, who may not give up the drug business, but at least be able to control the market and keep the drug trade stable. For the United States, for those addicts, it makes perfect sense.
Well, that's all I can say, and you can take care of the rest. By the way, I've heard that your new gear has been delivered here, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do on this mission. ”
"Yes, Captain." Yang Fan stood up, and after a mercenary salute, he turned around and left the command room.
20:30。 SK's team members drove towards the target location in an armored transport vehicle from the base, while Yang Fan took his MK20 SSR and all the new equipment with him.
The vampire looked at the gun in Yang Fan's hand with complicated eyes and asked, "This is the gun that the miser customized for you?" ”
"Yes!" Yang Fan said.
"Can I take a look?".
"Oh, of course!" Yang Fan handed the rifle to the vampire.
The miser took the gun and looked at every detail carefully, then finally nodded and said, "Damn! Customized goods are not the same as modified goods! Unfortunately, I don't know how long I will have to wait. ”
The vampire returned the gun to Yang Fan, and then asked, "How much has the effective range of this gun been increased?" ”
"I tried it yesterday and it's still very accurate at 1600 meters!" Yang Fan replied.
"Damn it, miser! Is this to rob us of the sniper's business? Bastard! After the vampire finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Yang Fan heard Rogers say that these materials were originally intended to be customized for the vampire to make a sniper rifle, but because of Rogers' favoritism, the vampire had to wait for another 2-3 years.
Yang Fan also understands the vampire's mood now, after all, for a sniper, a custom sniper rifle is too important, it is a key factor that can rewrite the fate of life and death at a critical moment. The people at SK are not short of money, but they lack time, and in such a high-risk mission, they don't know which time will come into the moment of life and death, so time is of the essence.
"Yang Fan, what's the name of your gun?" Rogers asked suddenly.
"Captain, this is the MK20 SSR."
After Yang Fan finished speaking, everyone laughed, and even the vampire laughed out loud with his eyes closed. Yang Fan also felt that his answer was a little stupid, how could Rogers not know the model of this gun.
Rogers didn't laugh, but continued: "Yang Fan, every handmade custom gun should have an exclusive name, this is the rule of T3, because these materials are so rare. ”
Rogers took out his HK416 rifle and said, "This gun of mine is called the Stinger, you can also think about what your gun is called!" ”
"Okay, Captain, I see." Yang Fan touched his gun and thought about it, he really didn't know what the name of this gun was.
Yang Fan looked at the HK416 in Rogers' hand again, and asked curiously, "Captain, isn't the stinger the tail of a scorpion?" Why is your gun called such a strange name? ”
The harvester on the side suddenly had a gloomy face, and scolded angrily: "Newcomer, this is not a question you should ask!" You also know how rare this gun is in your hand, do what you have to do, just don't waste the value of this gun! ”
"Oh, I see." Yang Fan said in a low voice.
Rogers smiled at Yang Fan and motioned for him not to care. Yang Fan could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, anyway, the harvester had always had this attitude towards him, and he was already surprised.
At 22:17, the crowd arrived at the U.S. border. After everyone got out of the car, they began to check the equipment, everything was ready, and the SK team crossed the U.S. border and marched in a vertical column to search for the destination.
This is already the standard formation of SK in jungle warfare, with Ronin and Dog leading the way, followed by Rogers and Scalpel, followed by Yang Fan, Kevin, Sokolov, Vampire, Goat, and Reaper.
The area where they are located is a small area of primeval jungle, the density of trees is not large, the jungle is free of the cobras and insects that are bothered by the tropical rainforest, and the temperature and humidity are relatively moderate.
It is about 4 kilometers from the border position to the target area, but this area is a key defense area for the other side. The ronin and the male dog need to constantly dismantle the traps and mines set by each other to carve out a safe walking route for everyone.
After about 2 hours of travel, the target area is already in sight.
