Chapter 321 Heinz Farm Armed Forces
Chapter 321 Heinz Farm Armed Forces
Conscience dictates that the FBI truly lives up to its reputation as the most powerful law enforcement agency on the planet.
Their resources were simply too vast, and with the backing of the Department of Justice, they had tremendous convenience and political deterrence.
It's no exaggeration to say that anyone who had committed a crime in America was registered in their system—previously it was just fingerprints, but now DNA was also logged.
Criminals had a hard time, as dropping a few hairs or even leaving some saliva during a crime could lead to their capture.
An FBI technician named Alma, who clearly had North African ancestry, transferred photos from Joe Ga's phone into the computer and waited about 15 minutes before the facial recognition system identified the impostors as SWAT.

Using software, Alma quickly cross-referenced the data on these individuals, soon uncovering their past criminal records as well as their connections.
The folks who dared to use automatic rifles in downtown Manhattan were not to be underestimated. After roughly analyzing the data, Alma, with a grave expression, brought the computer to Cooper...
While Cooper was viewing the files, he distinctly felt Joe Ga's icy stare and realized that his demeanor now completely contradicted his statements from just a few minutes ago.
Glancing at the computer data, Cooper hesitated for a while, but eventually, he placed the computer on the coffee table and pushed it towards Joe Ga, saying, "Promise me you won't act rashly, we have our own investigative procedures."
Joe Ga glared at Alma until the technician awkwardly averted his gaze. He then, displeased, pulled the computer towards himself, saying, "If your so-called cooperation is conditional, you should have just told me outright.
Don't spout sincerity while actually being sneaky in your actions."
While speaking, Joe Ga took out his phone and snapped a photo of the computer screen, then sent the photo to Chris. He followed up with a phone call, saying, "Buddy, help me check out this company..."
On the other end of the phone, Chris, puzzled, said, "Hu Lang, 'Heinz Farm' doesn't need checking; the owner of their company is Bill Heinz.
He runs a military contracting company that provides international security services to major international corporations, headquartered on a farm outside Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
Just like the recently secured 'Deadly Strike,' it's also a training base, only on a much larger scale."
Curious, Joe Ga asked, "Do you know him?"
Chris replied, "Most controversial international trade companies know this man. How could I, a middleman, not know him?
'Heinz Farm' not only offers security services but also provides some assistance beyond the legal bounds; it's no secret."
As he spoke, Chris realized something and nervously said, "Are you going to go to war with him?"
Joe Ga looked at the data on the computer and sighed, "It's not me who wants to go to war with him; it's his people who came after me.
If I don't respond, no one will fear me in the future, and trouble will keep coming."
Upon hearing this, Chris remained silent for a long time before saying, "Your chances of successfully waging war on his turf are slim.
'Heinz Farm' serves as both headquarters and their training camp, offering long-term military training facilities to the Pennsylvania police and has about 60 people stationed there permanently.
Hu Lang, they have helicopters and armored vehicles; you'd need heavy firepower to break in.
But using something like a Javelin missile in America would jeopardize your company's future here; those big shots won't be keen to collaborate with a 'troublemaker.'
You need to consider why you came here in the first place.
'Heinz Farm' operates as a pay-for-service business; it might not necessarily be related to the Glorious Society."
After thinking it over, Joe Ga replied, "I can assume he's not involved with the Glorious Society, but now that his mission has failed, what do you think, based on your knowledge of the company, they will do next?
Will they pull out or continue?"
Chris was taken aback for a moment and spoke with a heavy tone, "That would depend on how much the Glorious Society has paid.
Hu Lang, don't do anything rash; 'Heinz Farm' is tough to tackle.
If this were in Africa, I definitely wouldn't stop you, but here in America, your influence isn't strong enough.
I have Bill Heinz's phone number; I've even introduced business to him before. Let me call and try..."
After considering it, Joe Ga said, "No, we're not negotiating. Check if he has any business in Africa?"
Realizing what Joe Ga intended, Chris sighed, "You won't hurt him; those PMCs are recruited by him through other companies—he wouldn't even need to pay severance if they died."
Joe Ga narrowed his eyes, pondering for a moment, then said, "Gather the guy's info for me; we'll find a way."
Knowing Joe Ga wouldn't give up, Chris was silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll contact that intelligence officer I introduced to you to compile 'Heinz Farm' data and send it over.
Promise me not to do anything rash until everything is ready; if you must fight, make sure you're fully prepared to take him down in one go."
Having finally felt that Chris had completely sided with him, Joe Ga nodded in satisfaction and then hung up the phone. He looked at Cooper with a heavy expression and spread his hands with a smile, asking, "Where were we?"
Cooper pointed at the computer in front of Joe Ga and said, "We were talking about the people who attacked you, about 'Heinz Farm'."
Joe Ga shook his head and closed the laptop in front of him, saying, "No, I haven't been attacked, nor have I heard of something called 'Heinz Farm.'
Maybe we should talk about the 'Engineer'!"
Cooper was somewhat unsatisfied with Joe Ga's attitude. He frowned and said, "Hu Lang, we are cooperating. You can't mess around, or else I will have to deport you."
Joe Ga snorted and said, "Then tell me, now that you know those fake SWAT are people from 'Heinz Farm', what can you do to them?
I know a lot about PMC companies; they won't sign a contract with the type of mercenaries that do dirty work. You have no evidence, you can't even enter his territory.
What can you do? Call him and warn him? What good does that do for my current situation?"
As he spoke, Joe Ga looked at Cooper with slight anger and said, "I made enemies with the Glorious Society by cutting off their drug pathway.
I am a man of conscience; otherwise, I could just open the pathway, not only making a lot of money annually but also avoiding this kind of trouble.
I am doing the right thing, but it seems to me that you only see me as a trouble!
You damn well are not even prepared to investigate, just thinking about keeping me from messing around. Where the hell am I messing around? Did I kill the wrong person?
I even refrained from looking at the detailed information you found because I didn't want to cause you trouble. I respect you, but I feel you don't respect me!"
Facing an angry Joe Ga, Cooper was stunned…
He realized that his thinking was indeed being disturbed; the current troubles made him reluctant to deviate from the main issue, only wanting to quickly settle the Glorious Society's problem.
Great minds think this way, only considering the outcomes, which results in the interests of the little guys getting hurt during the process.
Cooper realized that deep down, he still viewed Hu Lang as a 'troublesome little guy', and this arrogance had affected his judgement of the situation. He needed to turn around immediately, or else he would face serious trouble later on.
A successful politician, realizing his mistakes, always chooses to correct them at the first opportunity when given the choice.
Just as he was about to speak, the always silent Michael Beech suddenly said, "There has been a terror attack related to drug dealers in the center of Manhattan. DEA received an informant tip that people from 'Heinz Farm' were involved in the attack."
As he spoke, Michael Beech looked at Joe Ga and said, "Hu Lang, I can apply for a search warrant, and let you join the search lineup, but we cannot kill Bill Heinz.
Hu Lang, this is not according to procedure; messing around would make things difficult for many people, especially for Lady Alexander."
Joe Ga looked at the always enthusiastic chubby Michael Beech, and finally realized the influence of Jemma's mother. Everything this chubby man did was for the sake of Jemma's mother.
He was hinting that Joe Ga could use the DEA's name to cause trouble for 'Heinz Farm', maybe even go too far.
But at the same time, he was also reminding him that the attitude of Jemma's mother was deciding the intensity of this operation.
'Heinz Farm' wasn't a nobody, illegally using public power carried political risks, especially for upcoming officials in the Justice Department.
This chubby man was cunning, telling Joe Ga that Alicia Alexander could definitely cover it, but it depended on whether she was willing to pay the price for Joe Ga.
It was also a test. If Joe Ga chose to mess around, Michael Beech would immediately withdraw, as such a person would one day bring him disaster.
But if Joe Ga calmed down and took his advice, then Joe Ga would owe him a favor.
This is the true cunning of an old hand!
Dancing around the edges of the rules without getting hurt.
Because the positions, stances, goals, and environments of both parties are different, Joe Ga can only passively interpret the meaning of Michael Beech's actions for now.
But this old hand's actions had already benefited him a lot!
And Joe Ga did indeed owe a favor, after all, Michael Beech did provide him some realistic advice and was genuinely considering his best interests.
Joe Ga could not trouble Alicia Alexander over this matter.
Ever since he entered America, Joe Ga had been accepting help from the Alexander family. Without Alicia Alexander, Joe Ga would already be a wanted man.
Even the activities of Jemma Alexander in Central Africa were benefiting Joe Ga's territory.
Joe Ga truly couldn't make it difficult for this 'big backer', who probably wouldn't want to trouble herself over Joe Ga either.
Their relationship was at a stage where using it more thinned it, wasting any bit of it was not worthwhile.
