"That's where everyone will live in the future, we'll live here during the mission, Jack can rest assured that your things are in it, absolutely safe."

Matt jumped out of the car and pointed to a row of dorm buildings in the distance.

"But I won't be able to bring you there later, the combat meeting will start soon, and we plan to move early tomorrow morning, and the time is very tight."

The group got out of the car and followed Matt into the building in front of them, and came to a small auditorium, which was already full of people.

Jack glanced at it, almost all of them were rough men with big shoulders and round waists, almost thirty years old, many of them were still wearing desert camouflage, leaning on assault rifles at their legs, looking like they were dusty, it should be the delta that had just returned from the front line.

The rest of the men wore police badges around their waists, DEA agents, and the striking sight was two old men with big bellies wearing cowboy hats and white beards, who were federal marshals in charge of escorting prisoners.

Beside the two old guys, Jack sees an old acquaintance, a Texas Ranger who also wears a cowboy hat and a white shirt and blue jeans, Hannah's Uncle Walker.

He apparently recognized Jack as well, and when they went camping on the border, if it weren't for Jack and Hannah, their whole family might have met with accidents.

Cordell Walker raised his right hand, gently lifted the white cowboy hat and put it down, and said hello to him, Jack also quickly nodded to him, to be serious, he still has to follow Hannah to call him uncle, fortunately, Lao Mei generally doesn't care about this.

For some reason, every time he sees this younger brother of the Wen family (the American drama "Evil Force"), he feels weird, and always subconsciously wants to touch the bottle of salt out of his pocket.

Fortunately, this is a completely materialistic world, probably, this kind of occasion is not suitable for a greeting, Jack followed Matt and them, and found a few folding chairs in the last row and sat down.

"Do you know those pesky Mounties? Whatever we want to do in Texas, we can't get around these guys. Matt leaned over and whispered.

"One of them is my friend." Jack didn't explain much, because at this time the combat meeting had already begun.

After all, even if it is a federal army, when it goes to Texas for exercises, it will be monitored and watched by the Texas Mounted Police, which can be regarded as a Lone Star State feature.

The Texas Mounties have a special operations team, a paramilitary team, and one of the tactical teams is called the Mounties Scout.

They carry out long-term, covert operations against DU traffickers in remote areas where regular law enforcement is inoperable, with a focus on gathering and intercepting intelligence and disrupting the criminal activities of DU traffickers.

Walker's "uncle" appeared in Jack's expectation, and his later actions may require the assistance of the second brother of the Wen family, who had already contacted Hannah.

An old sergeant major with a big waist and a dog tag around his neck appeared on the podium, stretched out his hand to say hello to Matt across the group, and began to explain the task straightforwardly without half a word of nonsense.

A high-resolution satellite map of Ciudad Juárez appeared on the large screen of the projector, with additional place names on it, and the old sergeant major held a laser pointer in his hand to indicate the route and location on the screen.

"After the crossing, the Mexican Federal Police will pick you up at the border and take you to the courthouse, note that this is a high-level target, and there are two possible locations where the enemy can shoot, the prisoner's handover and the border checkpoint where you return.

The bailiff is in charge of handing over the prisoners, the two old guys over there, Keith and Kevin. ”

As he spoke, he smiled and nodded at the two grandfather federal bailiffs below.

The two white-bearded old men got up, looked around with blazing domineering eyes, put one hand on the brim of their hats in front of their foreheads, and insisted on everyone.

The old sergeant major pressed his hands down and motioned for them to sit down again and continue to explain.

"After that, I'll leave the country in Laredo, and the boys from the Texas Rangers will be in charge of picking it up." Before he could finish speaking, Walker raised his hand to signal that he was.

"I'm so much in love with Texans." Matt, who was beside Jack, was whispering again.

Laredo, more than 800 kilometers from Juarez, is also close to the border, and the city is similar to El Paso, bisected by the long Rio Grande.

The one in Texas is called Laredo, and the one in Mexico is simply called Nuevo Laredo, and there are many similar cities along the U.S.-Mexico border, especially at the junction of Texas and Mexico.

After the Mexican-American War, Mexico lost half of its territory, and the Rio Grande, which originates in the Rocky Mountains and meanders into the sea, has become a natural border between the two countries.

With the uncontrolled diversion of various water conservancy projects controlled by the United States upstream, a large amount of fresh water resources were used by wealthy old Americans to water their own lawns, and the Rio Grande gradually dried up, often cutting off.

Running out of water, Mexican farmers running out of groundwater have fled north to easily cross the parched riverbed to work for American farmers.

The old sergeant major explained the entire course of action, turned off the projector, turned on the fluorescent lamp, and began to introduce everyone to each other.

"These are friends from the Delta Special Forces, who 'volunteered' to join the operation to protect the bailiffs during the handover, please raise your hands and let everyone know who to hide behind in case of danger."

In the low laughter, a group of big men raised their hands one after another, and at the end of the introduction, his eyes fell to the back row, "Matt, are you and your people with us, or are you going to Laredo and wait?" ”

"Let's go together, the FBIs have brought their own gear, just give me and Michael a few guns." Matt replied lazily.

"Well, then we're an All-Star now."

The old sergeant major smiled and nodded, "I'll go and prepare equipment for you when I'm done here, so that you will take the lead when you go."

Be careful when you come back, the enemy on the Mexican side will most likely make a move on the way back, so the people from the delta are responsible for opening the way, you are guarding in the middle, and the rest are pressed behind, OK? ”

He paused and emphasized, "Note that the most likely place to go wrong is at the border, especially in the middle of the checkpoints on both sides, which is the gray area.

After entering the territory of Mexico, at any time on the road, anyone who does not appear in this house now, may be an enemy, and until you return to this house, the operation will not end, understand? ”

Everyone nodded in unison, and the old sergeant major clapped his palms, "OK, remember, be vigilant, stay awake, go and prepare, sleep well tonight, and leave on time at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

——

At night, while Jack was in his room tending to his guns, Jane knocked on the door and whispered in his ear, "That Alessandro isn't quite right." ”

Jack's ears were tickled by her hot breath, and he couldn't help but turn his head sideways and laugh, "What's wrong?" ”

Jane took a Noveske N4 from his side and said as she disassembled and wiped it neatly, "I don't know, it's just a feeling that he doesn't look like a DHS guy or a CIA guy." ”

Jack raised an eyebrow, the girl was surprisingly perceptive, "So who do you think he looks like?" ”

Jane took the gun oil he handed over and shook her head, "I can't tell, I don't even think he's an American, do you think he could be an informant for the CIA?" ”

Jack was a little surprised, he had just received the information from Justin, and Jane's guess was quite close.

"He used to be a prosecutor in Colombia."

He hesitated for a moment, but was going to confirm first, "It's not a very interesting story, are you sure you want to know?" ”

"Ahh

Jack raised his hand to her chin, "Tell you that you can, but you are absolutely not allowed to look at him with any strange eyes after listening, pity, sympathy, hatred, anything with emotional overtones, otherwise I will have to let you go back to Phoenix." ”
