Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 399 ATF?

Redick came faster than the Eagles imagined...

But the mountain eagle didn't care, he just kept attacking upwards!

Simply killing opponents is not difficult for Shanying. The real difficulty lies in the fact that there are many gangster workers upstairs who cannot be called innocent but do not deserve to die.

A dozen workers wearing plastic protective suits and work clothes were gathered on the fourth floor. Some gangster gunmen mixed in with the workers who were responsible for growing marijuana and making drugs, and used them as hostages to completely separate the fourth and fifth floors.

This is a bit difficult...

You can use defensive counterattacks to explain away the gangsters, but it is unreasonable to even kill the workers.

This horned demon Billy built a fortress-like factory, but he didn't even leave an extra escape route for himself, which objectively put the matter at a stalemate...

But Shanying didn't hesitate for too long...

Inside the fourth floor is a methamphetamine production line, which contains flammable and explosive chemicals. With so many hostages in there, a forceful attack is definitely not a good idea.

At this time, there were shouts coming from downstairs, and at the same time, Dalia's call rang in his ears...

"Boss, Redick and the others are here, do you want to let them in?"

Shanying held the radio and said, "Let them in..."

As he spoke, the mountain eagle patted the butcher's arm and said, "Stay here and don't let the people up there come down."

Then Shanying walked downstairs quickly. When he reached the first floor, he heard the voice of Sheriff Redick...

"oh my god..."

Redick stood among the corpses with his hands raised, holding his head and turning around in an incredible way...

When he saw the fully armed Eagle, which looked even more like a Delta than a Delta, coming down from the building, he strode over and shouted, "What the hell did you do?"

Shanying placed a small, high-brightness camping light on the edge of the stairs, illuminating part of the space on the first floor...

Seeing Redick's panic, Shanying spread his hands and said, "I was attacked on the road..."

Redick heard it and yelled, "I fucking saw it, you won, it's like the fucking battlefield in Iraq now...

I'm asking what are you doing here?"

Shanying spread his hands and said, "Who said I won? I was kidnapped here, and then I found that the people here kidnapped hostages and forced them to grow marijuana and produce methamphetamine.

As a person with such a strong sense of justice, of course I have to choose to resist, and then you will see..."

Redick glared at the unafraid Mountain Eagle, who was talking nonsense. He shone his flashlight around and saw hundreds of marijuana plants in the greenhouse...

Shanying said at the right time: "The second and third floors are also the same marijuana growing areas, and the fourth floor is a methamphetamine production factory...

Sir, the Alaskan gangs are really trying hard to get locals to smoke local marijuana and methamphetamine!

Now they have taken all the workers hostage on the fourth floor. It's your turn to give the order...

As a colleague from Thailand with a sense of justice, I am willing to be the first to rush in! ”

Redick looked at Shanying like a ghost, pulled his arm aside, and whispered, "What do you want to do?"

Shanying said innocently, “Of course, under your leadership, we will destroy the drug den in Anchorage, and then bring those cancers that harm society to justice!
Sir, although we are of different nationalities, I am also a police officer, and I can fully feel your determination to protect the residents of Anchorage..."

Redick felt that he should express his attitude righteously, but when he saw a corpse with half of its head missing, the dirty words that slipped to his lips turned into...

"Thanks……"

When Mountain Eagle saw that Redick gave in so quickly, he realized that the cowboy lawyer he sent to the Anchorage government had worked.

Looking at Redick who was still a little hesitant, Mountain Eagle pointed at the marijuana and said, "Sir, you led the team to destroy such a large-scale marijuana cultivation area and a methamphetamine processing plant. The people of Anchorage should thank you."

Redick, who had gradually calmed down, pointed at his nose and said, "Me?"

Shanying spread his hands and said, “Unless your city and state governments are willing to admit that it was a Thai tourist who helped you destroy the drug den, it can only be you!

Man, the peak tourist season in Alaska has begun, and the local government needs a big victory to boost morale and express to tourists their determination to maintain social order!
I believe that an honest police officer like you will be happy to shoulder this responsibility under the leadership of the governor and with the cooperation of the Anchorage government!"

To be honest, a middle-aged Alaskan sheriff with only an American high school education can only communicate directly in most cases. Such people can still fight against gangsters with their clever tricks, but if they are dragged to the political table, they will definitely be eaten alive.

Even people who speak in a roundabout way may cause misunderstandings.

The Mountain Eagles had to speak very bluntly, even pointing out the key points of Redick's award acceptance speech.

Then the middle-aged fat man stared at the mountain eagle with his eyes wide open...

"What do you want from me?"

This is the instinctive reaction that people in the martial arts world should have...

If you get benefits, there must be a price to pay!

Shanying nodded and whispered, "I came to Alaska to track down a large international criminal group...

I suspect that the criminal group will have a big operation in Alaska. I don’t know what their specific goal is, I only know that once they show up, many people will die! "

When Sheriff Redick heard about the international criminal group, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously: "What is there in Alaska that is worthy of the coveted international criminal groups?"

Shanying shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'm also investigating, but I believe with your help, I will soon have some clues.

You are an Alaska State Trooper, aren't you afraid of foreign criminal groups?"

Redick straightened his back and said in a deep voice: "Are you kidding me? I'm afraid of them?"

Shanying smiled and said, "From what I understand, a group of more than a hundred jungle ants will land on the coast of Alaska. I don't know exactly where, so I need the Alaskan port customs to help keep an eye on it.

Those dangerous mercenaries probably don't bring weapons on board when they sneak across the river, so they need weapons after they get off the ship."

Redick was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously, "What are jungle ants?"

Just when Shanying wanted to explain, a voice suddenly came from not far away...

"The Jungle Ants are a group of crazy freaks recruited and trained by retired Venezuelan special forces from refugees.

They have severe mania and drug dependence. If such people enter Alaska, it will cause very serious social problems. "Mountain Eagle and Redick turned their heads at the same time...

Looking at the gangster driver who was tied to the car by him before, now standing there with handcuffs on both hands, Shanying frowned and glanced at the two policemen behind the guy, then said to Redick: "You state police let the suspect come and go at will?"

The Alaska State Police were indeed not very rigorous in their work. When Reddick was a little embarrassed, a young state policeman with a farmer's temperament said, "Sir, this guy said he was an undercover agent of the ATF..."

When Redick heard this, he cursed angrily: "Are you a fucking idiot? Would an undercover agent go around shouting that he is an undercover agent?"

The gangster driver saw that everyone around him was looking at him. Knowing that the situation was not good, he smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, is it possible that I just want to talk to you privately?"

This guy glanced at the mountain eagle and said a little frustratedly: "But it should not be necessary now...

You can call my supervisor, my name is Daniel Miller, our office phone number is *****, and ATF Deputy Director Mark Morris will verify my identity.

I've been undercover with Horned Billy for six months, tracking down a very dangerous shipment of munitions.

Now it seems that it is definitely screwed up! "

Shanying pulled the impatient Redick, then looked at the self-proclaimed undercover Daniel Miller and said in a deep voice: "How could Billy, a drug-dealing gangster, be related to dangerous weapons?
In Alaska, automatic rifles are not considered "dangerous weapons"..."

Daniel Miller only heard Redick's last words, so he didn't know the true identity of the Mountain Eagle...

Hearing Shanying's question, Daniel shook his head and said, "This is an ATF case. It has nothing to do with you FBI..."

Redick was stunned when he heard about the FBI...

Shanying looked at Redick's expression as if he had seen a ghost. He spread his hands and said, "I can't say I'm a Thai policeman..."

Shanying touched his chin and looked at Daniel with a weird expression...

He also didn't expect that a gangster driver was actually an undercover ATF...

The United States has many law enforcement agencies. The most powerful one is definitely the FBI, the most annoying one is the IRS (Internal Revenue Service), and the one with the greatest deterrent effect on drug lords is the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration)...

The full name of ATF is the Federal Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol, Firearms and Explosives. They are responsible for taxing, enforcing laws and interpreting laws on tobacco, alcohol, firearms and cannons...

Just listen to who they tax and you’ll know that ATF is definitely not to be trifled with!
More importantly, the ATF plays a very important role in gun and explosive control.

That is to say, except for the arms business represented by those giant-level military-industrial enterprises in the United States, all other legal arms transactions require the authorization of the ATF.

In other words, ATF is in charge of private arms dealers!

If you have my authorization, you have to pay taxes to me. If you don’t have my authorization, I can attack you.

The department in charge of arms dealers inevitably has to deal with mercenaries, so it is not surprising that Daniel Miller knows about jungle ants.

Shanying thought of the HK416 and a large number of high-quality bullets seized in Krabi, and then thought about Black Fox's detour to send Jungle Ants from Venezuela to Southeast Asia, and he suddenly realized something...

Black Fox does not have sufficient funds and manpower, so it took great pains to use cargo ships to mobilize jungle ants. And judging from Venezuela's geographical location, the jungle ants should be prepared for Alaska...

The Black Fox guy wanted to use a group of people to carry out two tasks, and at the same time bring the Blood Fox and all the Arctic Fox members to Alaska for a decisive battle.

A hundred or so jungle ants are not fatal to the Arctic fox. The black fox must have other tricks up his sleeve, and they are probably related to the mission he is carrying out.

Now an ATF suddenly jumped out and said that there was a batch of dangerous weapons in Alaska, and Mountain Eagle had to pay more attention.

Seeing Daniel's alert expression, Shanying thought for a moment and said, "Let me guess. What you are looking for is a batch of military-grade weapons..."

Daniel sneered and said, "This is just nonsense..."

Shanying shook his head and said, "Are there anti-aircraft missiles in there?"

Daniel was stunned for a moment, then realized that Shanying was trying to trick him. He shook his head decisively and said, "I don't care who you are. Your reckless actions have ruined the ATF's plan..."

Daniel glanced at the direction of the stairs and said, "But there is still a chance to make up for it now. If we can capture the Horned Devil Billy alive..."

"Do not……"

Redick pulled the mountain eagle and said with a straight face: “Until you prove your identity, you have no right to talk to us.

The ATF's actions have nothing to do with us because we have not received any notification! "

Redick waved his hands impatiently at his two men and said, "Take him to the police car and lock him up..."

"NO, NO, NO..."

When Daniel was put up, he shouted, "Sir, Sir, Billy the Horned Demon once bought a batch of arms, and your brother died from the bullets fired from that batch of arms...

Sir, Sir, if we catch him, we can find clues about the arms..."

Shanying noticed the expression on Redick's face. He realized that the reason this guy came to him in the first place was probably to find an opportunity to kill Billy the Horned Demon and complete his legal revenge...

Shanying's goals did not conflict with Redick's. He nodded slightly and said, "No matter what the ATF wants to do, solving the problem at hand is the most important thing.

My people are upstairs, and he is alone. Please have someone take over and guard the third floor...

If we want to get rid of Billy the Horned Demon without harming the hostages, we need to think of other ways."

Redick was touched by the Eagles' support. He loudly called the SERT players to go upstairs, and at the same time had them completely block the front and back doors, and set up a quarantine zone on the periphery...

When the butcher came down from upstairs, Redick looked at Shanying with a serious expression and said, "Criminal groups are also the targets of the Alaska State Police. Your intelligence may help our state police avoid unnecessary losses.

But that's a follow-up question...

You are more familiar with the situation here, what suggestions do you have about it?"

Shanying saw that Redick finally expressed his cooperation. He smiled and pulled the fat police officer out of the gate and came to the front of a police car...

He asked a busty female police officer for a carbon pen, then found a piece of discarded plywood and placed it on the engine of the police car...

He quickly drew a plan and a three-dimensional diagram of the interior of the small building, and marked the direction of the staircase exit, the location of the hostages, and even the location of the original windows of the small building...

He showed his work to Redick, and a middle-aged man with a goatee and a STER combat vest...

Shanying said seriously: "This is all the information I can grasp...

A violent attack is also possible, but the quality of the personnel required is extremely high!
If we want to avoid too many casualties, I have another idea..."
