American tax officials

Chapter 87: The deal's done? Then you'll have to pay taxes!

Under David's orders.

Soon, the group arrived at the armory.

Here, rows of pistols, rifles, submachine guns, and all sorts of equipment were neatly arranged on the shelves.

If you look closely, you'll find a range of firearms here, including the M16, M4A1, SCAR, and HK416.

In addition, they also have standard equipment for Navy SEALs.

Examples include the FAT tactical helmet, Comtac-I noise-canceling headphones, Gatorz tactical goggles, Belleville 550ST combat boots, LBT-6094 lightweight tactical vest, and GPNVG-18 ground panoramic night vision goggles.

In addition, you can find a large number of specialized weapons and equipment for other branches of the U.S. military, including special forces.

Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the IRS’s many weapons and equipment.

The IRS Nevada base even houses some of the U.S. military's most elite fighter jets, such as the F-35 and F-16.

In addition, there are other powerful weapons such as Apache attack helicopters, Black Hawk helicopters, M1A2 main battle tanks, and M-1117 armored vehicles.

That's basically how it can be said.

Aside from aircraft carriers, which the IRS doesn't have readily available, the IRS has all other weapons and equipment that the U.S. military possesses.

The IRS also has weapons and equipment that the U.S. military doesn't have!

Therefore, a rumor has been circulating in the United States for a long time.

It's not an exaggeration to say that the IRS's weaponry is more advanced than that of the U.S. military.

With Buckinson and his team as the main force, this operation is sufficient.

So David didn't take much equipment; wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying an M4A1 rifle was enough.

But Nixon, Bucky, and the others didn't care about that.

Drug dealers are seen as vicious and ruthless.

Just to be on the safe side, they were equipped with everything from tactical gloves and night vision goggles to stun grenades and hand grenades—they were practically armed to the teeth!

Seeing that it was almost done, David asked, "Is it ready?"

"OK!"

The crowd nodded and gestured.

"Let's go!"

……

The Pompeii chemical plant was established in 2013, but was forced to shut down after environmental agencies discovered serious pollution in the area, and has remained abandoned ever since.

It was precisely because of the pollution that the surrounding residents evacuated, leaving the area within a radius of two or three kilometers deserted.

This is why Dieter and the Mexican gang chose to trade here.

It was 40 minutes later when everyone arrived.

David glanced at his watch; it was 11:10.

There was still about an hour before the two groups were scheduled to make their deal.

"Hide the car!"

After giving his instructions, David arrived at the entrance of the chemical plant.

By the light of the moon and the headlights of the cars, you can see that the exterior walls of the chemical plant have begun to rust due to its long period of abandonment, and the color of the rust contrasts sharply with the greenery of the surrounding environment.

Weeds stubbornly peeked out from the cracks in the wall, stretching towards the sunrise. Some walls had even collapsed, revealing some remaining mechanical equipment inside.

Through the rusty gate, one can see that the factory interior is even more dilapidated.

The once clean and tidy production line is now covered in dust, and the machines are covered with cobwebs.

Some discarded raw material barrels were placed haphazardly in the corner, their chemical contents having leaked out and mixed with the soil, forming patches of colorful stains.

"Damn it, is there poison in here?"

Nissen walked over, covering his mouth and nose, and kept looking around at the interior of the chemical plant.

"It's been abandoned for so many years, the toxins should have been diluted enough. Besides, we won't be staying here for long, so it shouldn't cause any serious harm to our bodies!"

Hearing David's words, Nissen felt somewhat relieved.

After hiding the car, everyone went inside together.

Just as the photos Bucky took showed, the chemical plant was structured in two levels. The second level had four flat rooms in the east, west, south, and north, which provided a perfect hiding place for everyone.

When the time is right, we can take control of both groups instantly by taking advantage of the high ground.

"Let's set it up!"

Following David's order, Buckinison and the other six immediately dispersed and went to the four directional levels on the second floor.

Once they reached the second floor, they assembled the searchlights they had brought, installed the batteries, and then concealed themselves in four different locations.

After everyone had finished doing all that, David took out his phone and made two calls.

He called two tax chiefs in the bureau.

Just to be on the safe side, he felt it was better to have a backup plan.

After all, the money belongs to the IRS, but your life is your own.

You can't risk your life just for tax results.

Although the intelligence indicated that neither group would send many people, who knows if something unexpected might happen?

If something unexpected happens, this backup plan can quickly come to their aid, thus saving them from disaster!

The silver moon set in the west, and it quickly came to midnight.

Just then, Simmons, who was keeping watch, seemed to have noticed something and called out to the others, "They're here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became extremely vigilant, checking their equipment and releasing the safety on their guns.

About seven or eight minutes.

The sound of wheels grinding against the ground came from outside the chemical plant, followed by a beam of light shining in. Then, David and the others, who were hiding on the second floor, saw a van enter the middle of the factory.

The car door opened, and four men jumped out.

All four of them were rather short, with mostly brown skin, wide noses, thick lips, large eyes, and round faces—typical Mexican features.

All four men had a pistol clipped to their waists.

[Name: Richardson Markus]

Monthly income: $100000.

[Income Details: Gang bonuses, drug trafficking commissions...]

……

[Name: Warren...]

"what?"

In a secluded spot on the second floor, David used his golden finger to examine each of the people, confirming that they were indeed members of the Mexican gang.

However, when he saw the fourth person, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Because this Warren is no ordinary person.

He was the same guy who, along with Anthony and his gang, plotted the robbery of the cash transport truck at the Encar Casino.

Isn't that a bit of a coincidence?

At this time.

The man below, named Robin, finished his cigarette and cursed impatiently, "Those damn bastards under Dieter's command, they always dawdle and make us wait forever!"

"Stop complaining, Robin. They're the big spenders, after we settle this deal, we can always go to their nightclub and have a good time. Consider it getting our revenge!"

"You know what, a bunch of girls recently came to some of his places, and they're absolutely stunning..."

"..."

While Dieter's men were still waiting for the delivery, the members of the Mexican gang below began to dream about the wonderful life they would have after the delivery deal was completed.

But soon, the four of them were interrupted by a noise coming from outside.

Richardson, a key member of the Mexican gang, instructed Robin, "Go out and see if Dieter's men have arrived!"

Robin immediately went outside.

About two or three minutes later, he returned, nodding and saying, "Their people have arrived!"

Another few minutes passed.

An SUV drove in and stopped opposite Richardson and his group of four.

The car door opened, and four men stepped out.

But when David and his companions, who were hiding in the shadows, saw one of the men with a scarred face, their expressions changed.

Because this person is none other than someone else.

It was Baldwin Zijef, one of Dieter's four henchmen!

"Hey Baldwin, I didn't expect you to be the one picking up the goods today!"

Richardson seemed somewhat surprised to see Baldwin appear.

Baldwin glanced around, then turned back and replied, "This is a $400 million deal; I can't trust Dieter to come!"

"Okay, did you bring the money?"

Baldwin turned to look at his two henchmen behind him, who immediately returned to the car, took out two suitcases, and opened them.

Bundles of US dollars were laid out among them.

Seeing that the money was in place, Richardson gave Robin Warren a look behind him, and the two turned around, went back to the car, took out two boxes, and came over. When they opened them, they found packets of white flour inside.

The two sides had a great understanding.

The henchman carrying the box of US dollars handed the money to Warren.

Warren handed the white powder to the other party, then took out a pair of glasses-like devices, put them over his left eye, and began to check the banknotes.

Baldwin's henchman also opened a packet of flour, took out a small pinch, and licked it.

Then, the other two henchmen, each carrying a box, did the same thing.

"No problem."

"I'm fine too!"

"..."

Both parties inspected the goods and found no problems.

Richardson laughed and extended his hand, saying, "It's a pleasure doing business with you, Baldwin. Please give my regards to Mr. Dieter."

"It's a pleasure working with you. Please give my regards to Mr. Zimmerman as well."

"Haha, definitely..."

On the second floor, David, who was hiding in the shadows, saw that both parties had finished receiving the goods and were preparing to leave. He knew it was time and quickly gave a signal to move.

Although it was pitch black on the second floor, Buckinson and the others were equipped with night vision goggles, so they could clearly see David's gestures.

They first turned on the searchlight.

*Clap clap clap clap.*

Four high-powered searchlights in four directions turned on instantly, illuminating the first floor.

Meanwhile, the eight people below were also blinded by the sudden bright light and instinctively covered their eyes.

But they quickly came to their senses.

"not good!"

The four panicked men hurriedly drew their guns, shielding their eyes from the bright light with their other hands while trying to locate the enemy.

"You are surrounded! Drop your weapons immediately!"

David's silence only made things worse; once he spoke, both groups panicked even more.

Richardson and his gang were alright, though.

They were Dieter's men, and Dieter was powerful and influential in Las Vegas, so they weren't too afraid of being arrested.

Even if they are caught, I believe Dieter will have a way to get them out.

But the Mexican group is different.

Drug dealers live a life of constant danger, and most of them do not have legal status in the United States. Once caught, they will basically spend the rest of their lives in jail.

So, in a state of panic and fear, the man named Robin blindly fired several shots at the second floor.

"Let's teach them a lesson!"

David knew that he couldn't intimidate this group without demonstrating their strength.

"Da da da da..."

Buckinson and his men unleashed a barrage of fire on the area surrounding the two groups.

This forced both groups to lean against their respective cars, hoping to use them as cover.

However, they were in the center at that moment.

With David's men spread out in all four directions, how could they possibly hide?

Bucky and his men's powerful firepower was still on full display not far from them, forcing Dieter and the Mexicans to flee in terror.

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"

Seeing the enemy's overwhelming firepower, Baldwin knew that if he resisted, he would be riddled with bullets and die, so he quickly reprimanded his restless men.

However, the Mexican gang didn't care about that.

He knew that if he didn't resist, he would definitely go to jail once he was arrested, but if he resisted, he might have a chance to survive, so Richardson raised his hand.

But just as he was about to order a counterattack, he was interrupted by Baldwin, who was not far away.

"Richardson, don't shoot! This is the Lake District; Mr. Dieter can handle this!"

What he meant was, if you open fire, the people upstairs might take us all out too. The enemy's firepower is so fierce, we might all be wiped out together.

If you don't fire and everyone surrenders, Dieter will be able to get everyone out!

Upon hearing this, Richardson weighed the situation carefully. Judging from the enemy's firepower, there were quite a few people, and they were all armed with heavy weapons like rifles.

Don't be fooled by those movie protagonists; they can wipe out an entire army with just a pistol.

That's just an exaggerated effect in the movie.

In reality, even the most skilled special forces soldier would have a 2% chance of winning if he were armed with only a pistol against a rifle.

So after careful consideration, Richardson abandoned the idea of ​​retaliating.

Dieter's influence in Las Vegas is indeed considerable, and the two were partners, and this time they were arrested together.

We can't just stand by and watch someone die, can we?

Upstairs, seeing the two groups stunned, David shouted, "We don't want to kill you. Put your guns aside, let's talk!"
