Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 962 United Front Consciousness
Mountain Eagle fully understands Kobe's anger and complaints. To be honest, if they were in Kobe's shoes, Mountain Eagle would definitely be even angrier than Kobe.

However, his guilt was limited to Kobe and a few other members of the refugee group he knew, because from the perspective of a Dongda University student, as American civil servants, they should all bear responsibility for what happened at the border...

Even if the incident occurred within Mexico's borders, it should not be a reason for them to evade responsibility; otherwise, what is the point of the 'long-arm jurisdiction' that the United States has been advocating for all these years?
They are all members of the Department of Homeland Security, and those who do this job have to bear the risks that come with it!
Seeing Kobe's depressed expression, Mountain Eagle smiled apologetically, reached out and ruffled the hair of the little girl from Tokyo University who was looking for her parents, then looked at Kobe and said, "The farm has enough vehicles. Have your men bring the prisoners over and use the vehicles to send them all to the United States..."

Seeing Kobe's troubled expression, Mountain Eagle nodded understandingly and said, "I know you're in a lot of trouble right now. I've already had my people contact the FBI, and someone is coordinating with the Border Patrol."

All you need to do is make sure you get them across the border, and the rest will be taken care of.

I've arranged a press conference. Los Angeles will be very lively tomorrow, with human trafficking and refugee issues dominating the news.

In this situation, we can buy you some time for the investigation…

Kobe paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "You had this planned all along!"

Mountain Eagle immediately shook his head and said, "No, I arranged it half an hour ago..."

Do you know why I did this?

Before Kobe could ask a question, Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "If we came here because the Angel of Death wanted us, then we shouldn't give him the result he wants."

The investigation into this line of corruption along the US-Mexico border must continue, but you'd better keep things within certain limits.

The smuggling of nuclear materials is related to 'Arthur,' who in turn is connected to the Angel of Death. If everything was planned by the Angel of Death, then 'Arthur,' having already brought the dirty bomb to America, would still smuggle nuclear materials through Los Zetas and lure us here, not only to make money but also to create a big news story.

I wouldn't mind putting those involved in corruption on the front lines of the news, but I'd rather not let the Angel of Death have his way.

Only when he feels dissatisfied will he reveal his weakness…

Upon hearing this, Kobe looked uncomfortable and said, "So you're planning to use the 'Fox Foundation' to grab headlines..."

But have you considered that this might give those people room to maneuver?

Looking at Kobe's disgruntled expression, Mountain Eagle suddenly remembered that this guy was actually a very righteous agent...

Seeing the dissatisfaction in his eyes, Mountain Eagle suddenly said with a bit of a laugh, "Dude, the United States has spent billions of dollars to sponsor Mexico's drug war."

Now, apart from a few training bases, all the other money has disappeared legally and legitimately.

Any audit team could easily uncover the problem, but do you think it's possible for just one or a few people to dare to put billions of dollars into their own pockets?

They caused you a lot of trouble, and even wanted you dead...

"You want to do them? No problem. But first, answer me one question: what is your most important goal right now?"

Kobe paused for a moment, then said, "Angel of Death! Dirty bomb!"

Mountain Eagle snapped his fingers and nodded, saying, "See, if you're led astray by the Angel of Death, you'll miss out on something more important."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle glanced at Kobe, whose expression had suddenly changed. He patted the guy on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Our target is the Angel of Death. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend, but we share the same goal..."

Did you know that united front work is a top-level discipline...?

It will not only tell you who you should unite with, but once you learn it, you can also use this theory to work backward and make those valuable united front goals act in the direction we have set.

The Angel of Death lured us here by exploiting your sense of justice. Once you ignite the conflict at the US-Mexico border, firstly, it will be questionable whether you can continue leading the refugee group, and secondly, you will help the Angel of Death cripple those people...

What grudge they hold against the Angel of Death is something you'll need to analyze, but the Angel of Death is our primary target…”

Kobe wasn't stupid. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "You mean we should negotiate with them and get their help in finding the Angel of Death?"

Mountain Eagle scoffed and said, "Negotiation? NO!"

If you approach them with the intention of negotiating, they'll tear you apart!
All you have to do is reveal why you're here, let them know that the Angel of Death lured you here to investigate, and also tell them that your target is the Angel of Death...

This way, when they think they have room to maneuver, they won't put all the pressure on you.

If they want to get rid of you, they'll have to cooperate with you, provide you with all the information about the Angel of Death, and send a few scapegoats along with them. Buddy, just like when I shot those guys through the cabin, if you want to achieve your goal, you have to put enough pressure on them.

United Front work isn't simply about appeasement. Give them a lash, let them feel threatened and hurt, then give them a rope, and their first thought will be to hold on tight.

The theory that the mountain eagle described is difficult for foreigners to understand logically...

The United States has been short-sighted and profit-driven for many years...

With elections every four years, the American government has become accustomed to a piecemeal approach to governance. When a problem requires a few twists and turns, they are even willing to spend a lot of money to lie to the media rather than seek better solutions.

American civil servants, trapped in inertia, find it difficult to think like the mountain eagle...

Kobe thought the Mountain Eagles were trying to persuade him to compromise, but what the Mountain Eagles actually wanted was to use the corrupt people along the US-Mexico border to find and eliminate the Angel of Death...

However, the Angel of Death is not someone to be trifled with, and it seems he has deep connections with people involved in corruption. If they try to expose the Angel of Death, those people will reveal more people and problems to Kobe.

When the Angel of Death dies, Kobe can use his great achievement to investigate again. Even if he can't wipe out all the people who have shown their true colors, he can still destroy this corrupt network.

Kobe could vaguely sense the eagle's thoughts, but the feeling wasn't particularly clear...

However, he knew that time was of the essence, so he decisively called his men over the radio, asking them to send a few people to drive...

Then he looked at the mountain eagle and said, "What do you mean by giving them a lash?"
Currently, we haven't found the key to their problem, so it's unlikely we can investigate the accounts...

From what angle do you think I can exert pressure?

Mountain Eagle kicked the black box under his feet and said with a sneer, "This contains nuclear materials, and the remaining mercenaries are in your hands."

"You've already notified so many people in the know; the nuclear materials are their reason for supporting you. You have so many advantages. Why don't you just isolate the information, separate those prisoners, and then frame them to create a false impression?"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle peered through his tactical goggles, then rubbed his chin and said, "You guys retreat first. Don't forget to leave all the GPS devices at the cabin. My men and I will stay here to ambush the approaching guys..."

I'll whip them for you first, then I'll go find 'Arthur'!
Believe me, the fact that the Angel of Death deliberately sold 'Arthur' means she possesses extremely important information.

You'll soon get the chips you want...

Upon hearing this, Kobe asked in surprise, "You're not leaving?"

Mountain Eagle glanced down at the little girl who was clinging tightly to his clothes, then shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't finished my business, how can I leave?"
The child's parents must be dead. I have no sympathy for these idiots who would rather have a good life than come here to do this, but these children are innocent.

"Taking money to do something is an ironclad rule in the underworld. These sons of bitches have no basic integrity. The people of Los Zetas will have to pay the price for what they've done!"

Kobe sometimes just couldn't understand the Mountain Eagles' thought process; the things they cared about and the points they focused on seemed to be completely different...

But this wasn't the time to discuss the differences between the two sides. Kobe pointed to the box on the ground and said, "Can we open it and take a look?"
I need to make sure those important figures see tangible results before they'll unleash their full potential…

Mountain Eagle nodded, squatted down, and opened the polyurethane box, revealing two metal cylindrical containers, each 60 centimeters long and 15 centimeters in diameter.

Upon close contact, the Sergeant Major's system on Mountain Eagle's finger began to heat up, digesting a portion of the nuclear material inside the container before he could react.

Once he came to his senses, Mountain Eagle stopped the Master Chief System's devouring behavior, then pushed the box in front of Kobe. After taking a step back, he pointed to the radiation symbols on the cylindrical container and said, "If you have a Geiger counter, give it a try. I think these are the ones."

It is estimated that there are nearly 6 kilograms of nuclear material inside. Although the concentration is unknown, its value should be extremely high.

Upon hearing this, Kobe actually pulled out a detector-like device from his person and ran it over the jar.

Then, looking at the count on the detector, he said with a wry smile, "That's it, FUCK. If nuclear materials can get into America from here, then a dirty bomb is definitely possible!"
Mountain Eagle, I will do as you say...

I also allow you to use the Department of Homeland Security's name to do outrageous things, but you have to guarantee...

Before Kobe could finish speaking, Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I would never betray you!"

Don't forget, the angel of death is our common enemy!
