Chapter 208 Fully Armed

"What!?"

Milburn's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around and shouted to a subordinate next to him: "Notify immediately, block all checkpoints out of the city, dispatch the command center to strictly monitor the traffic thoroughfares, and implement strict martial law in the downtown area of ​​the city. It must be completed within one hour." Find the locations of drug dealers and missing police vehicles!"

From the murderous intent looming on his face, we can see how angry the captain was.

Right.

Shooting a police officer on duty in front of police headquarters was a slap in the face to Torreon, no, to the entire police force.

If it cannot be handled properly in time, the police will lose its authority and credibility in the eyes of the people.

Gu Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke first before his subordinates responded.

"Captain Milburn, the missing policeman is actually working with the drug dealers!"

"This is impossible!"

Milburn immediately denied that, "All police officers in Mexico are required to regularly pass 'trust testing' systems such as polygraph detection, drug testing, and psychological evaluations. Police officers who fail to pass the test will be fired."

"What if someone is threatened or corrupted during the inspection period?"

Gu Ji does not believe in any perfect system strategy, and this kind of long-term self-examination will weaken the professional security of the police. Coupled with being suspected by his own people every day, anyone else would be driven crazy and choose to take risks.

So he briefly recounted the whole story of the checkpoint shooting.

At this time, another subordinate also came over with documents and information from the Ministry of Public Security and the Checkpoint Police Station, confirming the fact that the flight crashed and was hijacked by drug traffickers.

Milburn put down the gun, took the fax document, and glanced at it.

"Are you the passengers of flight AM649?"

"Yes, this is my airline ID."

Betty took out the crew chief's work certificate again and choked with sobs, "Mr. Police Officer, we escaped death and came here just to seek rescue. Please help us!"

"I'm sorry, madam, Mexico is a federal system, and the states are relatively independent. Torreon where we are stationed belongs to the state of Coahuila, and the flight crashed in Durango state. It is not easy for us to interfere with other jurisdictions, and Torreon is still in the state at the moment. The problem of drug trafficker attacks has not been resolved..."

Milburn shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless.

"Captain Milburn, are you afraid?"

"What did you say!?"

Gu Ji's sudden words not only angered Milburn, but also aroused the dissatisfaction of other police officers around him.

But he completely ignored it and continued to preach:

"The words 'National Guard' and the police badge are printed on your sleeves and tactical vest. As far as I know, after Mexico's legislative reform in 2022, the National Guard will be unified under the command of the Ministry of Defense and will no longer be controlled by the government. It also stipulates that crimes such as drug smuggling, anti-government rebellion and jurisdictional conflicts occurring within the state are generally the responsibility of the National Guard and federal police, while other crimes are the responsibility of the state police.”

When Gu Ji was in college, his teacher gave a special lecture on Mexican police reform.

Mexico's police system is complex, especially federal law enforcement agencies, which are often disbanded and then reorganized.

But it is mainly divided into two categories: judicial and preventive.

The former is under the jurisdiction of the Procuratorate and is mainly responsible for criminal investigations, while the latter has very limited investigative powers and is mainly responsible for prevention.

In other words, the preventive police are simply violent forces that deal most of the time with drug dealers and insurgents.

This sounds a lot like the military. In fact, the Mexican authorities have actually established a military-style police force, the Milburn National Guard. A large number of its personnel are mainly veterans, and the training has been provided by the Department of Defense and the Navy. The Ministry of Police is responsible for the police, similar to the domestic armed police, and the federal police department is also included in the management of the National Guard.

This new force did not disappoint the people. Gumans’ son Odilawi was successfully arrested by the National Guard.

Milburn's eyelids twitched, as if he didn't expect that a foreigner would know so much about the Mexican police system.

“Although it is not under the jurisdiction of the state government, we have been ordered to be responsible for the security of Torreon. The drug dealers who are currently attacking the police headquarters are hiding in the city and may commit crimes again at any time and endanger civilians. We must deal with them first! "

"Captain Milburn, the kidnapping of passengers on an international flight by drug traffickers is an urgent international crisis and is obviously of higher priority. Moreover, this group of drug dealers did not intend to attack the police headquarters at all, otherwise they would not have just beaten and run away. They just wanted to kill two people. Police, disrupt the view and ask you not to participate in the rescue of passengers."

Gu Ji once again recounted his previous analysis of the real goals of the Sinaloa drug traffickers.

In fact, from the very beginning when the drug dealer started shooting, he understood that the other party did not want to stay alive at all, but just wanted to make the matter bigger and attract the attention of all the police.

Because within a radius of a hundred kilometers, only the police headquarters in Torreon, an important town, has the strongest troops and equipment.

“You said the drug traffickers want to force the government to release Odilawi?”

When Milburn said these words, many police officers around him shivered in shock. The Sinaloa Group was like the god of death to the Mexican police.

He pondered for a moment, turned around, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and dialed his superior's number.

It seems that the provoking method still works.

After a conversation, Milburn called his subordinates and said, "Notify us. The drug dealers who attacked the headquarters will be handed over to the federal police. The Torreon National Guard combat team is fully prepared and ready for rescue operations!"

"yes!"

After his men left, he looked at Gu Ji and the others, "The Secretariat of the Ministry of National Defense has just reached an agreement with the Ministry of Public Security to send us as an advance team to rescue the crew members and passengers who died on flight AM649. Two hours later, the United States and Mexico officially launched a joint operation. The troops will arrive at the scene to meet us, do you know the specific information about the hijacking drug traffickers?"

"Thank God! That's great!"

"Wait! Betty, what are you talking about? Why did the police leave suddenly?"

Riddle and Saleh couldn't understand what they were talking about, and could only judge by their expressions and atmosphere. Seeing Gu's few words arouse the dissatisfaction of these federal police officers, and then leave in large numbers, they were naturally worried to death.

Gu Ji ignored him, but took out the sunglasses aunt's phone from her pocket and showed the screen saver interface.

"A drug dealer named Sara has been shot dead by me, and the other one is her. Huang Mao in the photo is her son, who is acting as a translator in front of the drug dealer boss. The drug dealer boss has gray curly hair and a beard. , about 1.75 meters tall and very fat."

"Grey curly hair, beard... sounds a lot like the No. 4 figure in the Sinaloa Cartel: Beem Aleman, who happens to be in charge of Durango state."

Milburn murmured a few words, and the impression immediately came to his mind.

Lowering his eyes, he looked at Gu Ji and the splattered blood on his body with flickering eyes, "It sounds like you have good skills and know the Sinaloa Group very well."

"Antony Yassen, I once served as an airborne soldier in Brazil. As for this information, part of it was found by me from the hijacker, and part of it came from him. Riddell is a secret investigative reporter who once met him from a distance. More like a drug dealer boss."

Gu Ji now doesn't blush at all when he lies.

Riddle didn't understand Spanish anyway, and even if he could, he wouldn't dare to refute it. After all, this kid's identity was not clean to begin with, and he still had some leverage.

"Yes, Wayne Milburn, a former Marine Corps Reconnaissance, now commanding the Torreon National Guard Combat Group."

Upon hearing that Gu Ji had served in the military, Milburn's attitude immediately changed and he actually reached out, "Since you have the ability to protect yourself and understand the situation, please come with us to the scene and provide help."

"No problem at all."

Gu Ji was worried about finding any reason to follow, but he didn't expect an opportunity to come to him. "But I want to take him with me. Riddell holds many secrets of the Sinaloa Group."

Riddle was still waiting for an explanation when he was suddenly caught, looking confused.

There are too many secrets in this guy.

The relationship between the captain and him, the cause of death, third-party forces, the source of the mysterious computer of the illegal arms dealer Klika, etc...

So no matter what, Gu Ji couldn't let him go.

As the flight attendant, Betty was unwilling to abandon the passengers on the flight and also asked to follow the guards.

Saleh was left in the end. He originally didn't want to provoke drug dealers anymore, but when he thought of the tall black policeman, he was afraid that he would be shot if he stayed here, so he had no choice but to join.

then.

The four of them boarded the armed pickup truck with Milburn. For safety reasons, Milburn gave each of them a tactical bulletproof vest and helmet, as well as a translucent single in-ear tactical headset, but no weapons were given.

Before leaving, Gu Ji reminded him that the federal police should find the sunglasses lady as soon as possible.

After all, if you have one more drug dealer as a "hostage", you will have one more trump card in negotiations.

Milburn said easily through the intercom headset: "Don't worry, Torreon is such a big place. All checkpoints out of the city have been closed. They can't escape! Let's go!"

At the command, the team's engines roared simultaneously.

Compared with the federal police, the National Guard is a semi-military force after all, and its equipment is directly upgraded to a higher level. The entire combat group has a total of seven vehicles and a total of 35 people. Six of them are armed pickup trucks, equipped with Israeli Negev light machine guns, and the head is Milburn. They were riding in a Hummer M1152 off-road vehicle equipped with bulletproof steel plates and equipped with a US military M249 squad machine gun.

In terms of individual soldier equipment, not only are the protective gears more complete, but the G36 assault rifles used are also fully equipped with a front grip, collimating or telescopic optical sights, and muzzle brakes.

Gu Ji also caught a glimpse of snipers carrying Barrett M107A1 large-caliber anti-materiel rifles, as well as fire support unit teams using Mexican self-developed FX-05 automatic rifles with grenade launchers attached to them.

To be honest, this was the first time he had seen a police force carrying such heavy firepower for internal operations, except for the previous arrests of Sun Hengfei and Zhao Wenwu.

But that's right.

What equipment do drug dealers have?

Fully automatic weapons, grenades, RPG rockets, heavy machine guns, plus homemade armored vehicles, just short of tanks and artillery.

If you don't bring some "ruthless goods", you probably won't be able to get even the skin!

Driving out of the police headquarters, there were very few vehicles on the streets in the city because the federal police were on lockdown to catch drug dealers, and we quickly passed through the checkpoint and reached the wild.

Along the way, Gu Ji helped Milburn guide the way while observing the satellite map on his mobile phone.

Just as the convoy entered the state of Durango, the mission progress bar in the lower left corner of his sight suddenly jumped twice in succession.

[Current number of civilian deaths on flights: 4/20]

Two people died suddenly?

Without even thinking about it, it must have been a drug dealer!

He hurriedly pressed the intercom button.

"Captain Milburn, please speed up the process. The drug dealers should have discovered the passengers on the flight by now!"

"Okay, don't worry."

"Mr. Yassen, the drug dealer didn't get any information from us. He shouldn't have discovered the passengers so quickly, right?"

Betty, who was sitting in the back row, bit her lip and asked worriedly.

Of course Gu Ji couldn't directly say that he found out from the game mission, "The car we drove to Torreon belonged to a drug dealer. As long as they checked the license plate number, they would know who it was and where it was, and let the drone Search along that area and you will soon find the location of the plane!”

"Oh my god, why should we go back? Wouldn't it be better to leave it directly to the police and the army?"

"Shut up!"

When Riddle heard that the drug dealer might have discovered the passenger, he was so frightened that he complained casually, but Gu Ji shouted him back on the spot.

Saleh frowned.

"Then if we go back now, will we miss the point?"

"Yes, so I don't plan to go back the same way."

Gu Ji knew that the drug dealer would definitely find the passenger, so when he gave Milburn the direction just now, he changed the direction in advance.

He planned to intercept and rescue the drug dealer on his way back after taking away the passengers.

Because once people are brought to the drug dealers' lair, they will face not only more armed drug dealers, but also more abundant ammunition and firepower. At that time, the interception battle will turn into a CQB battle, and it will be a hell-level CQB.

If I remember correctly.

When the second week was finally surrounded by drug traffickers, the convoy drove from the southwest of the grassland.

Displayed according to satellite map.

Mexico is a sparsely populated country with scattered towns and few major roads.

Therefore, they ran south along the state highway. If they speeded up, they would have a chance to get ahead of the drug dealers starting from the dirt road. After all, it was not so easy to move hundreds of passengers out of the wild.

Half an hour later, the scenery on both sides of the road began to change from semi-desert to grassland, and then gradually replaced by tree-covered hillsides.

Bare, huge stone peaks stand not far away.

Gu Ji had been staring at the satellite map, calculating the time from the plane's crash site to the road. Perhaps the map navigation knowledge attached to the course mark had not been completely forgotten. He roughly calculated the approximate time and direction of the drug trafficker's drive from the forest to the road. Location.

"It should be almost here..."

He immediately picked up the binoculars, pressed down the passenger window, and looked out into the wild.

However, the drug traffickers' convoy did not notice it. Instead, they saw a white Toyota SUV parked on the grass beside the highway. Unexpectedly, there was also a young man in a white vest and a peaked cap behind his back on the passenger window, observing with a telescope. them.

"Captain Milburn, there is a problem with the vehicle in front!!"
