Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 522: Centurion, deploying troops
"Jefe (boss), Rudolph has gone to the countryside. Please leave the matter to me. I will take him out of the manor within a week and have him apologize to you properly online."

After receiving the report from his subordinates, the middle-level leader Fernandez immediately contacted the boss El Mencho.

Things that happen on the Internet must eventually be resolved on the Internet. If we cannot catch this rich second generation through the Internet, as a drug lord group they can still play around with the reality offline.

If he fell into the hands of these guys, Rudolph's only fate would be to disappear from the world after filming his final apology video.

However, in this age where people rely heavily on their fathers, Marquez is surprisingly reliable. He knows that it is better to accept the beating of fatherly love than to lose his life.

In comparison, Ma from the neighboring country of Magnesium is much worse as a father. He only realized it later when his eldest son became his eldest daughter, which truly shows what it means to give birth but not raise her.

Xia Yu didn't say that he would learn from this. In the past, the children were too young to stay in his hometown, so he had no choice but to leave. Now that little Youzi has reached an age where he can hold his urine and feces, this trip "working abroad" will allow him to be brought along to learn from her by example.

"Well done, M2 (Old Fei's code name), no one can insult us CJNJ, and no one except us is allowed to disrupt the order of Jalisco."

El Mencho's somewhat tired voice came from the receiver.

These are the symptoms of diabetes. As a chronic disease that cannot be cured but can only be controlled, no matter how rich he is, it will not help.

The avocado grower and street vendor selling hemp at that time, after being arrested in Longchang, he realized the truth, returned to his hometown to become a policeman to familiarize himself with the procedures, joined the Valencia family and married the boss's sister.

Only ten years had passed until he took over the manpower, supply and channels left over from the disintegrating family and established CJNJ, creating his own laundry detergent empire.

Even though he was plagued by illness, he was still a young and strong lion king and would never allow anyone to challenge his authority.

Yes, he developed CJNJ to its current level by being more ferocious and ruthless than his peers. More competitors have died at his hands than military and police officers.

Once he showed the slightest sign of retreat, the first to rush up and tear him apart would be other drug lords.

So Rudolph is just a sacrifice for El Mencho to maintain his rule. As for the fact that his father is rich, El Mencho doesn't care at all.

The military is no match for the CJNJ, so what can Marquez hire with money?
Those Spanish people?
Stop joking, even the Magnesian people are useless.

After staying in one's own little corner for too long, one really has no idea of ​​the outside world. Elmencho and all the members of CJNJ, who are narrow-minded, know nothing about the crazy concentrated fire defense in Afika.

Their understanding of private military contractors is still limited to those elite infantry, but they had no idea that today's PMC companies are becoming more and more competitive.

Take the Spanish, for example. They were looked down upon by El Mencho. They bought a lot of VEC wheeled cavalry reconnaissance vehicles and BMR-600 armored personnel carriers from the army.

They even wanted to get two of the armored forces' beloved Pizarro infantry fighting vehicles, but for now they are only playing with the wheeled platform, and the tracked platform has been kept on hold.

It seems that they can still fight against the drug cartel, but the problem is that their equipment cannot fly across the Atlantic Ocean and cannot be delivered to Mexico.

In addition, they had no connections in the country of Magnesium and could not get assistance from the DEA. After comprehensive consideration, they recommended Fire Defense to their employer.

This company will not be able to make any profit from Lao Ma’s $5 million, but it is worth it to gain Xia Yu’s friendship, and they can cooperate in other areas in the future.

After giving his men some instructions, Elmencho hung up the phone and looked at the scenery outside the cave.

He still prefers caves to bunkers.

This natural cave, which was expanded by engineers kidnapped by direct members of CJNJ, became Lao Ai's secret base. The climate in Mexico also made the environment in the cave not humid at all, and he liked it here very much.

Unfortunately, his wife, son, daughter, brother-in-law, and younger brother were all arrested. He can no longer carry out activities openly as before and can only exert his influence through the Internet.

In an era where short videos are conquering cities and developing rapidly, drug lords must also keep pace with the times.

The same principle applies to PMC companies, with the exception of Fire Defense. The most famous business empire under Xia Yu is the Afika War Museum.

Except for the last time the parent company went to Panaka to fight the Ebola virus and made the news, they usually keep a low profile. After all, the client who employs them is very far away from ordinary people.

But this time the business has been developed at Lao Mei's doorstep, and they can no longer keep a low profile. This is a battle to become famous outside the industry, allowing ordinary people to get a glimpse of the top combat power of private enterprises and how they wiped out a drug lord group with great ease.

The Fire Collection Ship was deployed, and a general cargo ship loaded with Leclerc UAE, T-80U and T-80BVM left the port of Pointe Noire and headed for the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

To combat drug lords, tanks are the best shield vehicles for sieges. The target's firepower is simply not enough to tear through the defenses of these iron turtles. They were not used in the first phase of operations, so the An-124 fleet was not used and sea transportation was used.

But can you believe that Mexico today is like Billy, and the army doesn’t even have a single tank?

No, which means not needed.

To the north is the country of Magnesium, whose tanks are indeed useless.

As for South America, where armored forces have always been very limited, there are still six or seven countries between it and Mexico. Why would they need armored forces? Wouldn't it be nice to buy cane sugar and cola with the money saved?

Diabetes is not a problem, laundry detergent is scary!

In this way, equipment enough to defeat the entire army was transported to Mexico by sea and air.

At Laughlin Air Force Base on the U.S.-Mexico border, Focus Defense and the DEA are also holding their final meeting before heading to neighboring countries.

“You said that these drug cartels have also learned the tactic of using consumer drones to drop badminton bombs?”

Xia Yu confirmed with Eric.

This was something he had never expected. It started in the Middle East and then spread to Afika. He never expected that even the Mexican drug lords had learned it.

I’m afraid that in the future, all the northern areas of Southeast Asia will be flooded with them. These days, we really can’t afford to suffer without self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

"Not only are there badminton bombs, they also strapped C4 to the drone. If they didn't have to capture Rudolph alive and make an apology video, they would have breached the suburban estate today."

Eric said with a serious expression.

Even the DEA's halo is useless against this kind of suicide drone.

"If it's just an aerial photography drone with explosives attached, it's still possible to deal with it with a shotgun, but it's the faster flying drones that are really hard to defend against."

Xia Yu passed on his experience to the other party.

Obviously, CJNJ has not yet evolved into a suicide cross-country machine, let alone using FPV to carry RPG armor-piercing warheads to blow up armored vehicles.

"Is that so? We will have to apply for cooperation with the military for future operations. They have Stingers and field accompanying air defense."

Eric nodded.

In order to cope with the complex battlefield situation in the Middle East, Laomei upgraded the Stinger's seeker so that it can lock onto the infrared characteristics of consumer-grade drones.

However, portable air defense missiles lack initiative and need to be used in field air defense missions.

People are familiar with Tunguska, Pantsir S1 and Jagdpanther, but they themselves don't know what the Chinese have, they just know this. Xia Yu did learn about their solution, but he didn't expect the other party to directly choose the Phalanx landing, add a truck platform, and match it with multiple radars to become the Centurion C-RAM air defense system.

It’s just that the price of $15 million per set is a bit expensive, it’s equivalent to one and a half El Menchos.

He has the old version of the Phalanx. Although he can modify it into a set of Centurions himself, he should seize the opportunity to get the original version.

Of course, it is impossible to spend money. Xia Yubai is used to spending money on girls. At this time, he would not spend a penny.

"Don't worry, we brought self-propelled anti-aircraft guns this time, not to mention we have jamming systems on board."

Xia Yu signaled to Eric not to worry.

Cruise missiles are difficult to interfere with, but consumer drones are difficult to resist fixed-frequency signal interference unless they are modified themselves.

Without even a cross-country drone, he didn't believe that the other side had evolved to the next stage. The other side's drone tactics were ineffective against concentrated fire defense.

"I'll follow you."

Eric immediately hugged his thigh.

He was so concerned about the encirclement and suppression of CJNJ in order to get a promotion and a raise in salary, but he did not want to sacrifice his life for the country. Although KiKi was respectable back then, few people would be willing to become him (the DEA agent who was tortured and killed by the drug lords).

"The first stage is fine, but later on I will have to personally fight the enemy. Will Chief Eric come with us?"

Xia Yu extended an invitation to fight side by side.

"In this case, forget it. I'm old and not a professional."

Eric refused with a little embarrassment.

Why would a bureaucrat like him go to the battlefield? Doesn't he think dying is not fast enough?
Unfortunately, Lao Ai didn't know that Xia Yu's Old Deer and Tiger was the safest place on the battlefield, truly possessing the halo of "never falling".

To combat drug cartels, the firepower of the fennec fox is actually enough.

However, the Fennec Fox's armor and endurance are not sufficient, so it cannot raid multiple locations and strike multiple targets in one sortie.

So he brought Old Deer Tiger and Longbow Cross Deer to Moxigo, in order to kill the maximum number of CJNJ's manpower in the early stage.

As for whether one red Cheetah might not be enough, don't forget that Xia Yu has hundreds of Cheetahs.

The original old Cheetah that has not been upgraded with a radar is comparable to the Tunguska. It is definitely enough to fight consumer-grade drones. Just deploy the red Cheetah in the most important directions.

The intelligence that the target has portable anti-aircraft missiles is true, but the number of launchers is barely in the double digits. It is impossible for all the military's three-digit helicopters to be used against them.

"Finally, it's CJNJ's cargo transportation channels. Killing people is only one aspect. The most important thing is to cut off these transportation channels and prevent them from shipping goods."

Xia Yu talked about the last topic.

If CJNJ, which occupies 30% of the market share of magnesium in Mexico, is unable to ship its products, it will have a very bad impact on El Mencho.

This is also the reason why most drug lords in related film and television works have to sell their products despite the limelight.

"We have clues about several shipping channels along the border, but the problem is the sea route. The modified submarines they used are very covert. With the help of the navy, we were able to intercept a batch of 20 tons of cocaine on the high seas."

This effect can only be achieved through the joint law enforcement of multiple countries and departments. It is not enough to rely solely on the power of the DEA, but this time we also have to add concentrated fire defense.

"We have maritime strike capabilities, but we need intelligence, even just a rough area and an approximate time."

The USS Jihuo is now on the high seas, ready to join the fight against the drug lords at any time.

"We can still do this, but we can't track it continuously."

Eric felt relieved after hearing what Xia Yu said. With accurate intelligence, they could take action on their own. Without it, they would have to rely on those second-rate people.

But these guys are running around the world, and the drug lords at home don’t take them seriously at all, so in the end PMC has to take action.

However, it is rare to find PMC companies with dock landing ships. In the past, they were responsible for frigates and destroyers, which could only be used for patrol and escort.

Ships like the Fire Setter can also be used to transport cargo. Not only is its tonnage several times that of the Mexican Navy's newly delivered flagship Reformer (Sigma-class frigate), but its firepower after the upgrade is also stronger than that of this new ship.

In fact, as long as it is close to old magnesium, it is like the army without tanks and the navy without powerful warships, because it is not needed anyway.

It's good enough that the Reformer can beat up the Caribbean Pirates, but as for the drug cartel's maritime transportation channels, they are extremely difficult to attack.

"Calling the Fire Department, this is the Yellow Weasel. After completing the first phase of the operation, our cargo ship will pass through the Panama Canal, receive the company's equipment, and then go to the designated location to unload."

Xia Yu turned on the radio and called Lao Zhao.

"Fire signal received!"

The company's infantry fighting vehicles will be airlifted to the magnesium border and then enter Mexico, and the tanks will not be unloaded at the port.

Since the Fire Focus is deployed nearby, we can just use the Mustang air-cushion landing craft to "land on the beach" directly, and the transport convoy arranged by the DEA will pick us up on the shore.

After the contact ended, Xia Yu, the head of an American truck, crossed the border, but his eyes were still on the border wall in the rearview mirror.

If the real estate developer president had not been able to start his second term, the wall would have ended here.

In the past, it could serve as a screening for illegal immigrants, but it has not been completed. The elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled can enter through the gap, and those who cannot work can get relief meals and even a ticket directly to Washington.

This wall is just a block for loneliness and can't stop anything.

But it’s good to have a gap. The DEA can travel back and forth to Mexico without going through the port. Because their location is too remote, they haven’t seen any illegal immigrants, let alone members of the drug lords.

At the same time, M2 Fernandez was studying the combat plan to break into the manor.

Consumer-grade drones can be used for combat as well as reconnaissance. The TV in front of me is playing aerial footage of the manor recorded by the camera.

"These Spanish have 50 people, half a company. They are divided into two shifts for patrolling. They seem to be working very meticulously."

The subordinate reported to his boss.

"Márquez gave enough bonuses. These guys are willing to work without sleep. I'm sure they are only equipped with rifles, not machine guns or grenade launchers, right?"
