King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 348 Even More Ruthless, Even Stronger!

Eric listened, looked at Joe Ga seriously, and said, "Hu Lang, we have no choice now, even if we know it's a trap, we can't back down...

I get your point, I'll head back to Los Angeles right away. If this here is just a smokescreen, then the 'Shadow Messenger' definitely still wants to escape through Los Angeles.

I have to go there and keep watch. We absolutely cannot let the Shadow Messenger run off with the goods."

Joe Ga also knew this was the case, but isn't that what makes the pursuit difficult?

Without absolutely reliable intelligence, and with the adversary being an experienced and well-connected old fox, catching him without causing a big commotion will be very difficult.

After contemplating for a moment, Joe Ga nodded to Eric and said, "Keep a close watch on the coastline, let the Coast Guard pay attention to vessels drifting on the high seas. If this really is a trap, I feel that the Shadow Messenger may not even use the drug dealer channels at all."

As he said this, Joe Ga suddenly thought of something; he looked at Eric and said, "Have your people go to the defense expo in Austin, find a Canadian company, and get me a full sample set of their automatic weapon stations.

If 'Ogen Town' really is a trap, I'll need some heavy firepower for cover."

Eric decisively nodded, pulled aside a field agent to give instructions, having him and a colleague depart immediately. He then looked at Joe Ga with some concern and said, "Hu Lang, are you sure you're alright?

I can call in a SWAT team under the pretense of drug enforcement to assist you."

Joe Ga thought for a moment and then shook his head.

He didn't know the situation in Ogen Town; the SWAT team was too conspicuous, and if the 'Shadow Messenger' was there and detected something off, it would be bad.

Under the current circumstances, it's better not to work openly together if you can't be open; his own people were the most reliable!

He felt there was still something he hadn't figured out, but no matter, finding clues wasn't his responsibility, following the clues and taking action was his mission.

Seeing Eric looking a bit anxious, Joe Ga smiled and said, "Don't worry about me; you should be worried about yourself.

If the 'Shadow Messenger' isn't in Ogen Town, catching his slip-up might not be so easy for you."

Upon hearing this, Eric's eyes hardened as he said, "Now I've confirmed that the 'Shadow Messenger' is connected with Seta and Jalisco. If there's really no other way, I'll dig out the leaders of these two gangs.

They have no idea what they are really doing..."

Joe Ga didn't doubt this guy's capacities, but the circumstances were special now, he couldn't afford to make a big fuss, it would be problematic if the media or anyone else caught wind.

Looking into Eric's absorbed eyes, Joe Ga shook his head and said, "I have people in Los Angeles, they can coordinate with you on any action there, but I won't agree to send them on missions to Mexico.

Even if we're pushed to the brink, you'll have to wait until I get to Los Angeles before considering this issue.

What you need to do now is pressure the Border Patrol, keep them on high alert, and block the 'Shadow Messenger' from leaving America.

I don't want to go to war with drug dealers in Mexico until it's absolutely necessary..."

After listening, Eric nodded. He glanced at Estelle, who had positioned herself dutifully at the door, and then said to Joe Ga, "So, you coordinating DEA authorization for your actions is no problem, right?"

Joe Ga shook his head in annoyance and said, "You owe me a favor!"

Of course, Eric knew how much trouble Joe Ga had saved him, and he nodded, "Don't worry, I have noted this favor, and after this is over, I'll invite you to my home in Washington."

Joe Ga knew that Eric was being 'forthcoming'; otherwise, no politician would invite a mercenary to their home.

With a nod, he signaled they could leave first. Joe Ga picked up the detailed confession, glanced at it, and felt he probably wouldn't need 'Coyote'. He nodded to Ayu...

Ayu stood up, walked over to 'Coyote', crouched down, and twisted his neck. He then carried the body to the back of the house, picked up a shovel, and quickly dug a deep hole big enough for a body.

While Ayu was busy, Joe Ga beckoned Estelle over and opened a tablet computer, then looked up the location of Ogen Town on Google Maps.

To Joe Ga's surprise, this town, which seemed very remote on the map, appeared quite large and bustling.

Estelle knew why Joe Ga had summoned her; without needing to be asked, she called a colleague in Texas DEA and obtained intelligence on the drug traffickers in Ogen Town.

The Texas DEA acted swiftly, and within about 15 minutes, a fairly detailed report was sent to Estelle's phone.

Ogen Town had a population of about 5,000 people, but the actual number of transient residents was close to 10,000, most of them illegal immigrants crossing the border.

This small town, being close to Juarez, was a stronghold for smuggling people, firearms, and drugs.

Texas law enforcement had made several raids there, but to little effect, which only emboldened the notorious 'Juarez Group' even more.

They even brazenly made investments, building shopping malls, developing real estate, and even setting up oil companies...

You see, reality is so magical; as long as drug money is laundered, it's welcomed wherever it's spread."

'Coyote' is a name from 'the Jalisco New Generation' who arranged to sell goods in Texas, and he needs to hurry to a community south of Ogen Town at 5 pm tomorrow to take that Englishman away.

Joe Ga felt there was something inexplicable about the situation, which was how 'Shadow Messenger' could have predicted in advance that someone would catch 'Coyote'?

If 'Coyote' wasn't caught, then the so-called 'trap' would not exist.

That's why Joe Ga had to check it out, what if Shadow Messenger actually wanted to use the power of the two gangs to protect his crossing?

Joe Ga enlarged the map of the neighborhood and looked at it with a bit of a headache, then turned to Sanderson and Waters, the ones with the most experience, and said, "Everyone living here is part of drug trafficking groups and their families. What will happen if we barge in?"

Sanderson also didn't expect that he would encounter such a place in America itself...

He picked up the map and studied it for a while, tracing a few routes with his finger, then said with resignation, "It depends on the location of our target, and how much hostility do the people here have against us?

If this were Aqionghan, without helicopter and armored vehicle support, I definitely wouldn't venture into such an area.

But this is still America, and if we can confirm the location of the target and act quickly enough, there shouldn't be too much trouble."

Joe Ga found the house 'Coyote' was supposed to go to on the map, marked it on the tablet, and then let out a sigh, "The location here isn't very good..."

'Pliers,' as EOD, had performed many similar arrest missions in the Middle East alongside the SEALs. He said with a smile, "Boss, aren't you thinking too highly of those drug traffickers?

We drive in, and it'll take 3 minutes to clear that house.

What we need to think about is how to get out from there?

If it's a trap, or even worse, do we have the confidence to break out?"

'Pliers' pointed to the armored G-wagen parked at the door, chuckling, "I think as long as the attack goes smoothly, getting out shouldn't be a problem."

After 'Pliers' finished, Sanderson and Waters also nodded in agreement.

Sanderson slapped his head and laughed, "Boss, Pliers is right; after all, this isn't Aqionghan.

The security in Ogen Town isn't too bad, which suggests that those drug traffickers are somewhat restrained in their behavior."

Joe Ga listened, nodded, and then shook his head...

"Regardless of the possibility, we will have to face the people from the Seta Group, who are all former members of the Mexican Special Forces. They're not only ruthless but also experienced, and we can't take them lightly."

Joe Ga said, somewhat bewildered, "I just don't understand, what kind of rotten place is Mexico?

Special forces should be the most honorable people, why would they become drug traffickers, and turn so cruel?"

Waters, who had been silent, said, "Maybe it's because they have completely given up on their government. Without faith, that's when they become truly frightening!"

Estelle saw Joe Ga shaking his head noncommittally and realized that she had finally encountered something she could comment on with confidence...

"Seta used to be the enforcers for the Gulf Cartel, some of them were even planted by the Gulf Cartel into the military.

The purpose was to use military training to prepare their people, and then leverage this readymade force to help the Gulf Cartel fight for territory.

After splitting from the Gulf Cartel, Seta, desperate for rapid growth, moved to the northeastern 'Laredo City,' declared war on the government outright, and by being ruthless and generous, became an idol for many young people, eventually developing into the most vicious gang of assassins in Mexican history.

However, Seta is currently on the decline; their leader was killed two years ago, and while the current leader is crazier, he has also offended the more powerful Sinaloa Group.

The Sinaloa Group controlled their drug supply, the Gulf Cartel blocked their southern passage, and the Colombians weren't particularly keen to work with Seta, making their situation increasingly difficult."

Estelle looked at Joe Ga and added, "Sir, the Seta Group is crazy, but they're not as powerful as you might think, because their core forces have suffered a lot over the years of conflict.

On the contrary, I think you should pay more attention to Jalisco. This new generation gang is stepping into the path once walked by Seta, becoming the most troubling opponent for the local drug traffickers through sheer madness and brutality.

Cervantes has been insanely at war with the Sinaloa Group and the Juarez Group and hasn't suffered too much so far." Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire

Joe Ga had studied these drug trafficking groups. While Estelle, the rookie, hadn't truly seen the savagery of drug traffickers, Joe Ga had...

Speaking of madness, Mexican drug traffickers couldn't compare to those in the jungles of Africa who would massacre towns at the drop of a hat.

But in terms of organization and the sophistication of equipment, Mexican drug traffickers beat Africa's rudimentary forces, second only to their Colombian predecessors.

Of course, Joe Ga wasn't afraid of them, but he believed he needed to be responsible for his own people, so either don't move or be fully prepared to act.

The essence of waging war against drug traffickers is to be even more ruthless, stronger than they are!
