Chapter 965 Unexpected reinforcements
"There are only 12 armed guards patrolling the surrounding area. There may only be more people inside, but we only brought two sniper rifles, and Clay and I need to join the assault team."
Jack put down the binoculars and felt that things were a little difficult. There were still patrols. There were laser alarms every few dozen meters above the electrified fences, and surveillance cameras were installed at key locations. He wanted to break through quietly. The peripheral difficulty is really a bit high.
"If your other sniper rifle isn't as big as Barrett, I might be able to temporarily serve as a sniper." Nigli volunteered.
Jack did not answer immediately but looked at Reacher, who nodded without hesitation, "Besides Larry, Nigley's marksmanship is the one I trust the most among us."
The Larry mentioned by Reacher was the only black uncle in the special investigation team. He passed away unfortunately in a car accident a few years ago. Jack remembered that the information said that he once won the best rifle shooter in the Army shooting competition.
"Hey, big guy." O'Donnell suddenly became unconvinced, "I'm also a marksman."
"You are just an ordinary shooter at best." Reacher mocked him without giving him any face.
"That's bullshit. Hey, Dixon, talk to me, back in Biloxi."
Before O'Donnell finished speaking, Dixon laughed out loud, "It was super bad luck that time. Normally you wouldn't be able to hit a donkey 20 meters away."
"Go to hell, you bastards." O'Donnell angrily stuffed a bulletproof insert into his chest, then took the MDX508 handed to him by Jie Jie and carried it behind his back, and picked up another equally good silencer. Device Noveske N4.
These former army soldiers are really big-hearted, or maybe they are used to life and death, but they still have the time to make fun of them at this time.
"OK, Hannah and Nigli will serve as snipers. Kill as many patrol security guards as possible before launching the operation, and leave the rest to us."
Fortunately, they are all on their own here, and it won't be a big problem if they perform a little extraordinarily well. With this thought in his mind, Jack kept moving and handed the G28E precision marksman rifle that Hannah was used to to Niggly.
Although Hannah's figure now tends to be closer to that of an urban lady like Jiejie, and no longer has the overly toned lines before, her internal improvement has been considerable, and her shoulders are no longer unbearable after a few consecutive shots from Barrett. "Weak woman".
"The next question is how we should destroy their internal power supply. Barrett is equipped with a .50-caliber armor-piercing incendiary bomb, which can easily destroy most facilities, but the location of the power distribution equipment is just blocked by buildings to the north.
If Hannah were to shoot from other directions, the shooting window that would provide cover would be somewhat inadequate. "
Jack frowned as he looked at the gate in the south. As Jubal said, their numbers were somewhat stretched, and even if there were two or three more helpers, he wouldn't be so helpless.
"Have you forgotten that we have a helper?" Rachel suddenly asked.
"What helper?" Jack was slightly startled. The task they were about to perform was not an official mission. Although they had dual endorsements from the FBI and DHS, they couldn't even use SWAT at this moment.
The current situation is a bit like shooting a target first and then drawing a circle. As long as the missing missiles and chips are found, even if all the people are killed, as long as DHS can deliver the goods, they will be happy to help wrap things up.
Just like Jack and Reacher secretly recorded their conversation with Congressman Lavoie through a DHS bug, unless they can prove a connection between the "Little Wings" project and terrorism.
Otherwise, what if the congressman personally admitted that he had used some power in the operation of the project and even received benefits?
If a federal senator can be removed from office because of such a trivial matter, then this country is simply too promising.
Thinking of Congressman Lavoie, Jack's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he suddenly remembered what he said to Rachel and himself in the zoo.
"You mean to ask Senator Lavoie to send his people? But it's almost 1 o'clock now, and there are still 4 hours left. Langston must leave early to trade with 'AM'. It's too late, right?"
Reacher's lips curled up, "Who knows? Isn't that congressman very proud of his efficiency? Besides, my task is to go in and delay. Maybe his people can catch up."
After saying that, he took out the anonymous cell phone that Jack had given him before and called Malcolm Lavoie. The one he had taken from a hitman's car in Atlantic City had been thrown away before. .
After a series of transfers, the voice of a certain congressman finally came from the receiver, "Mr. Reacher?"
Reacher didn't even have a title and asked directly, "You said I could call you for help at any time. Now that I have the opportunity to solve all the troubles, can you still keep this promise?"
"As long as you ask, I can satisfy your request 100% without compromise." Malcolm Lavoie obviously misunderstood something and seemed to think that Reacher was asking for benefits from him.
"I need your personal bodyguards, guys from the Rangers and SEALs."
This request seemed to be somewhat unexpected by the congressman. He paused for several seconds before reacting, "Yes, that's right, two SEALs and a Ranger."
"Great, I need them to be at a location in Rockland County within two hours, can that be done?" Reacher asked.
There was another pause on the other side of the phone, and Lavoie seemed to be confirming. After a while, he replied, "If all the troubles can be solved at once, there will be no problem."
"Have your people contact me and I will send them the exact coordinates and inform them of the plan of action."
As if he sensed that Reacher was about to hang up the phone after talking about business, Lavoie quickly said, "Listen Reacher, I know you think I am an incompetent and despicable politician, but I was really just doing something for this country." Good thing.”
Reacher turned on the music player the whole time, and couldn't help but look helpless when he heard this "heart-to-heart" words, while Jack, who was standing opposite him, had already picked his ears out of boredom.
"Yes, I did receive some benefits from it, but none of these people in Congress are doing similar things. I never thought that this matter would lead to the death of your friend. You must believe me."
Lavoie swore a lot of nonsense, but was mercilessly interrupted by Reacher, "If you want to repent, it's best to find a priest. Now, have your people contact me as soon as possible."
"Maybe we can try to give Mr. Congressman a 'chance.'" After hanging up the phone, Jack blinked and said in a sarcastic tone.
