Chapter 474 Before Action
"That is where everyone will live in the future. We will live here during the mission. Jack can rest assured that your things will be stored there. It will be absolutely safe."
Matt jumps I got out of the car and pointed at a row of dormitory buildings in the distance.
"But I won't be able to take you there until later. The combat meeting will start soon. We plan to take action early tomorrow morning. Time is very tight."
The group of people got out of the car and followed Matt into the door in front of them. Building, came to a small auditorium, which was already full of people.
Jack took a glance and saw that almost all of them were rough men with big muscles and round waists. They were about thirty years old. Many of them were still wearing desert camouflage. They had assault rifles leaning on their legs. They looked like they were dusty. They should be the same batch of people just now. Delta back from the front.
Some of the others wore police badges around their waists. They were DEA agents. The most eye-catching ones were two old guys with big bellies and gray beards wearing cowboy hats. They were federal marshals responsible for personally escorting prisoners. .
Next to these two old guys, Jack saw an old acquaintance, a Texas Ranger who also wore a cowboy hat, a white shirt and blue jeans, Hannah's Uncle Walker.
He also obviously recognized Jack. When they went camping at the border, if Jack and Hannah hadn't been there, something might have happened to their whole family.
Cordell Walker raised his right hand, gently lifted up his white cowboy hat and put it down again, saying hello to him. Jack also nodded to him quickly. To be serious, he had to shout after Hannah. His uncle, fortunately, Americans generally don't care about this.
For some reason, every time he saw the younger brother of the Wen family (American TV series "Supernatural"), he felt strange and always subconsciously wanted to take a bottle of salt out of his pocket.
Fortunately, this is a completely materialistic world, probably, and this kind of occasion is not suitable for chatting together. Jack followed Matt and the others and found some folding chairs in the last row and sat down.
"You know those nasty mounted police? No matter what we want to do in Texas, we can't get around these guys." Matt came over and whispered.
"One of them is my friend." Jack didn't explain much, because the combat meeting had already begun.
After all, even if the federal army conducts exercises in Texas, they will be monitored and watched by the Texas Rangers. This is also a characteristic of the Lone Star State.
The Texas Rangers have a special operations team, a paramilitary team, and one of the tactical teams is called the Mounted Reconnaissance Team.
They will carry out long-term covert operations against DU trafficking groups in remote areas where conventional law enforcement cannot operate, focusing on collecting and intercepting intelligence and disrupting the criminal activities of DU traffickers.
The appearance of "Uncle Walker" was unexpected by Jack. His subsequent actions may require the assistance of the second brother of the Wen family, and he has already been contacted through Hannah.
A big-bodied old sergeant major with a dog tag hanging around his neck appeared on the podium, stretched out his hand to say hello to Matt across a group of people, and began to explain the mission straightforwardly without any nonsense.
A high-resolution satellite map of Ciudad Juárez appeared on the large screen of the projector, with some additional place names marked on it. The old sergeant major held a laser pointer in his hand to indicate the route and location on the screen.
"After crossing the border, the Mexican federal police will pick you up at the border and take you to the court building. Note that this is a high-level target. There are two places where the enemy may attack, the prisoner handover point and the border checkpoint when you return. .
The bailiffs are responsible for handing over the prisoners, the two old guys over there, Keith and Kevin."
As he said this, he smiled and nodded at the two federal marshals below. .
Two old men with white beards stood up and looked around with piercing domineering eyes. They put one hand on the brim of their hat in front of their foreheads and expressed their opinions to everyone.
The old sergeant pressed his hands down, signaling them to sit down again and continue explaining.
"I will leave the country in Laredo later, and the boys from the Texas Rangers will be responsible for picking up." Before he finished speaking, Walker raised his hand to indicate that he was the one.
“I fucking love Texas guys to death.” Matt next to Jack was whispering again.
Laredo is more than 800 kilometers away from Juarez in southern Texas, also close to the border. This city is similar to El Paso, bisected by the long Rio Grande River. . The one in Texas is called Laredo, and the one in Mexico is simply called Nuevo Laredo. There are many similar cities like this on the US-Mexico border, especially at the junction of Texas and Mexico.
After the Mexican-American War, Mexico lost half of its land. On the border with Texas, the Rio Grande River originates from the Rocky Mountains and meanders into the sea. The 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 Americans to water their lawns. The Rio Grande gradually dried up and often stopped flowing.
The struggling Mexican farmers downstream had no water available. After depleting their groundwater, they went bankrupt and fled north, easily crossing the dry riverbed to work for American farmers.
The old sergeant major explained the entire action route, turned off the projector, turned on the fluorescent lamp, and began to introduce each other to everyone.
“These are our friends from the Delta Force. They 'volunteerly' joined this operation and were responsible for protecting the bailiffs during the handover. Please raise your hands to let everyone know who to hide in when danger occurs. behind."
Amidst low laughter, a group of burly men raised their hands to indicate. At the end of the introduction, he cast his eyes towards the back row, "Matt, are you and your people with us, or are you with us? Go to Laredo and wait?”
"Let's go together. The FBI brought their own equipment. Just give me and Michael a few guns." Matt replied lazily.
"Very good, then we are now an all-star team."
The old sergeant major smiled and nodded, "I will prepare equipment for you when everything is done here. In this case, When you go there, Matt and you will take the lead.
Be careful when you come back. The enemies on the Mexican side will most likely attack on the way back, so the people from the Delta are responsible for opening the way, and you will protect them in the middle. The rest of the people are behind, OK?”
He paused and emphasized, “Note, the most likely place for trouble is at the border. Be especially careful in the middle of the checkpoints on both sides. Gray area.
After entering Mexico, at any time on the road, anyone who is not in this room now may be an enemy. The operation will not end before returning to this room. Do you understand? "
Everyone nodded in unison, and the old sergeant major clapped his hands, "OK, remember, be vigilant, stay awake, get ready, have a good sleep tonight, and be on time at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning Set off. "
——
At night, Jack was maintaining his firearms in the room. Jane knocked on the door and came in mysteriously and whispered into his ear, "That Alejandro Not quite right. "
Jack's ears were tickled by her warm breath, and he couldn't help but turned his head and smiled, "What's wrong? ”
Jane took a Noveske N4 from him and said while dismantling and wiping it neatly, "I don't know, it's just a feeling that he doesn't look like someone from DHS or CIA."
Jack raised his eyebrows. This girl had unexpected insight, "So who do you think he is?"
Jian took the gun oil from him and shook her head, "I can't tell. I don’t even think he is an American. Do you think he is an informant of the CIA?”
Jack was a little surprised. He had just received the information from Justin, and Jane’s guess was already quite close. .
“He used to be a prosecutor in Colombia.”
He hesitated for a moment, but decided to confirm first, "This is not a very interesting story. Are you sure you want to know?"
"Ah, wait a moment and nod."
Jack raised his hand and put it on her chin, "I can tell you, but you are absolutely not allowed to look at him with any strange eyes after listening, including pity, sympathy, hatred, anything with any emotion, otherwise I will I can only let you go back to Phoenix City”
