Chapter 348 Austin Operation
It was already evening when the private plane arrived in the rural town of Austin, Texas.
The Cirrus SF50 refueled at an airport in Mexico and set off again until it reached the target location. The Warthog attack aircraft piloted by Bailey had arrived in Austin two hours earlier and contacted Jimmy and others.
During this period, Zhang Ailun also contacted Jimmy, told him about the intention of the Aragua Fire to launch a revenge operation, and asked him to bring people to the airport to pick him up. Jimmy also found this news incredible.
Jimmy: These guys don't want to move their base from Austin to somewhere else, but they want to retaliate against us? What are they thinking? Aren't they afraid that I will kill them all?
Zhang Ailun: They came after me because I intercepted them on the route of their maritime trade, seized their smuggling boats, and caused them some losses. They decided to retaliate against me at the instigation of other organizations. They probably thought that my sphere of influence was at sea and in California, and that I had little control over Texas. They thought that your car rental company in Austin was my property, so they decided to teach me a lesson.
Jimmy: WTF! These bastards are crazy and have no brains! They don't have any armed forces, how dare they mess with my business? Mr. Jin, when will you come over? Just lend me some equipment and let me handle this matter!
Zhang Ailun: I really don't need to worry about the people from the Fire of Aragua. You can send your people to the Flying Eagle Gun Shop to get some equipment, and then go and cause trouble for those people. Leave the people from the other organization to me. I'm about to arrive at the rural airport in Texas.
Jimmy: That's it.
Zhang Ailun also contacted Blitz and told him to check the scope of the Acr organization's activities, whether there are bases in Texas, and where the bases are located. Blitz also readily agreed and began to conduct some investigations on the Internet.
Boktu drove the Cirrus Fathead smoothly and landed at the small town airport. Zhang Ailun got off the plane and saw Jimmy's convoy parked on the roadside. When the group saw the arrival of the chief, they also came up to greet him enthusiastically.
Zhang Allen walked over and greeted a few people. Seeing Jimmy wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a pistol in his waist bag, he asked, "Are you all ready? Where is Bailey?"
"He is at another airport, dealing with those criminals from the Fire of Aragua. We may have to use attack aircraft to deter them with firepower."
Jimmy replied, "I have already contacted people on the street and found the place where those people gather. I have obtained accurate intelligence information and can take people to defeat them at any time. Mr. Jin, do you want to come with us?"
"You just need to be responsible for handling this matter. Can't you handle those people with an A10?" Zhang Ailun smiled.
"I will blow them to the sky! Since they dare to provoke me, I will let them taste the bullet! I was too lenient last time. This time I must completely eradicate their base and drive them out of Austin!" Jimmy was full of confidence and opened the trunk, which was full of weapons and equipment pulled from the Flying Eagle Gun Shop.
Jimmy asked again: "Who are the other group? Don't they know what you do? How dare they come and provoke you?"
"An international theft organization called Acr has been harassing my Jehovah Island. Before, they realized that I was not someone they could easily mess with, so they abandoned their allies and fled. I thought they might give up on troublemaking me, but they immediately approached the people of Aragua Fire to persuade them to inflict some damage on me. My patience is limited."
Zhang Ailun said: "It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Since we have to settle the grudge sooner or later, why not do it today? If they want to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, they will have to pay a corresponding price!"
Looking at the people Jimmy brought over, "You should have enough manpower, lend me a few people, I want to use them specifically to deal with Acr's organization."
"Of course, these guys are happy to listen to you. They are all our own people. But we only have one A10. It seems that it is too busy. After all, your Black Hawk helicopter is still in California."
Jimmy agreed readily, but also felt a little worried about not having enough firepower.
He had dealt with people from the Fire of Aragua before. They were quite weak, with average firepower. But that Acr sounded like an international thief organization, the kind of villains in the movies. They shouldn't be easy to mess with, right?
"Don't worry. Most of them are just hacker forces providing intelligence. There can't be so many gunmen. Otherwise, they wouldn't just be instigating the Aragua Fire to launch a surprise attack and retaliate, but would bring their own people to do it."
Zhang Ailun waved his hand, not caring at all, and said, "You can take your men into action now, and do it as quickly as possible to get rid of the people of Aragua Fire, and don't let their people enter the city. Otherwise, if chaos occurs, you will be in trouble."
There is no way that the Fire of Aragua can win in a head-on battle, because they have been defeated by the leader several times and have been wiped out in many battles. They know that the leader not only has private islands and naval ships, but also air combat units such as Black Hawk helicopters and A10, so they can't win at all.
Their so-called revenge action was just to gather some people based on the information provided by Acr, and go to the city to smash, rob and buy things for free, mainly targeting Jimmy's car dealership and the gym.
After all, there is not enough police force in Texas at night. The mounted police are only responsible for maintaining public order and are not responsible for shooting on the streets. The key is that they cannot beat the armed bandits. They come and go quickly. When something happens, they will only contact the dispatch center for support.
The people of Aragua Fire only need to cause some unrest and attention, and finally a few people will be symbolically detained, while Jimmy's car dealership and property will be burned and destroyed, and it will be unable to operate in the short term, and will definitely close down. The losses caused are at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the long-term losses will be even more. It can be regarded as a win-win situation, letting the chief leader know that they are not incapable of revenge.
But the leader only has one Flying Eagle Gun Shop in Texas, and the rest are Jimmy's businesses. The other party took over the territories of those old blacks, and they started running gyms, massage services, sorghum seeds, and some brain-stimulating fitness drugs. They are doing very well locally.
If the Fire of Aragua operation succeeds, Jimmy will suffer the greatest loss, while the leader himself will not suffer much loss.
But if their action fails, the leader would be happy to see him deported from Austin, and it would have nothing to do with him anyway.
Acr's plan was the same as Bai's. The Fire of Aragua listened to their instigation and were pure grudges. No one knew what their purpose was.
After chatting for a while, Jimmy also contacted Bailey from the air combat unit to provide support at any time, and also contacted the head of the suburban police station, who is now considered an old friend of theirs.
Jimmy formulated an action plan and decided to open the boxes of dumplings for them before the people from the Fire of Aragua took action. He turned around, led his people into the car, stepped on the accelerator and left the airport streets.
Watching Jimmy leave, Zhang Ailun also got in the car with seven or eight young men from Texas.
Boktu was in charge of driving the vehicle, and the Texas guy next to him also asked: "Boss Jin, where are we going now? Is there a target location?"
"What's your name?" Zhang Ailun looked at the young man in the baseball cap. He had some impression of him. He was the one who often followed Jimmy around. He seemed to be Jimmy's deputy, right-hand man, and a good friend who grew up in the same neighborhood with Jimmy.
"Boss Jin, you can just call me Paige." The young man replied, took out his gun again and loaded the bullets: "We all listen to you, we will hit wherever you tell us to hit."
"Ok. Paige, you have a good name." Zhang Ailun nodded, looking at their extremely sophisticated equipment, all of which were firepower equipment brought from the Flying Eagle Gun Shop, even rocket launchers, and he felt reassured about this.
He said to Boktu, "Drive first. I will ask someone for the detailed location of those people from Acr."
"Understood." Upon hearing this, Boktu immediately started the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove away from the small town airport.
Zhang Ailun took out his cell phone and contacted Blitz, asking him how the clues were going. After a few minutes, Blitz responded quickly.
Blitz: I have found out. The scope of the Acr organization's activities and the identities of its members have always been mysterious to the outside world. Their whereabouts are erratic and difficult to find, but that is mainly because their offline members are basically temporary workers. The real core members of other gunman organizations are hacker forces that make money by selling intelligence. Their plan to instigate the Aragua Fire to carry out a revenge operation was also contacted through the Internet. No informants were sent to meet and communicate, so it is difficult to find them.
Blitz: But I have tracked down their real signal. Acr has a base on a ranch in Texas, which should be the real location of one of their hackers. Zhang Ailun: How did you find it? Did you decrypt their broiler?
Blitz: Because he ordered a takeaway half an hour ago. For a week, the same takeaway was delivered to that place, using the same bank account, which was also an account that had financial transactions with the Acr organization. I locked and tracked their signals and accounts, and found that they had many false identities on the Internet, but this address often bought things through online platforms and delivered them to the door, inadvertently revealing their real location, so I determined that this place was indeed the residence of the Acr organization members.
Allen Zhang: Well done.
I praised Blitzcrank, it has to be you, it’s all about the details.
Blitz also sent the location coordinates to the chief leader. Zhang Ailun took a look and found that it was 16 kilometers away from the current location.
He immediately shared the information with Boktu and said, "Turn around and head to the ranch in Clint Town."
Boktu received the designated location information and found that the current direction was wrong. He immediately turned the car around and led the two cars behind him to a ranch in the suburbs.
The Clint Ranch at that time.
The cattle and sheep were grazing leisurely on the farm, and the ranch owner was unaware of the impending crisis.
A young man was wearing headphones in the room, typing on the keyboard, eating pizza, drinking Coke, and playing Valorant.
After being defeated in seconds by the other party in another encounter, his mentality changed subtly, and he couldn't help but yell, "Cheat and kill your whole family!!"
Then they started to interact with each other in a crazy and friendly manner.
But the opponent's level of swearing was quite high. All he said was that you were born of a devil and your parents don't love you. The opponent was obviously a professional Zaun player from the Asian server, and he kept talking about his family tree for eighteen generations and lashing out at them.
The young man's face turned green after being scolded, and his defense was completely broken.
"Fuck! Just wait!"
He was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He immediately switched the screen to open the background, entered the code, then switched the screen again, shooting frantically, turning into a wall-breaking guy and spinning a gyroscope.
opponent:???
Pineapple bun: You opened it first! !
The other party fell silent and clicked the report button frantically. Soon the screen turned red, and Pineapple Bun was permanently banned.
But he didn't care about it at all. He used technology to steal an account on the Internet and then started the next round of the game.
Soon the phone on the table rang. He glanced at the note and answered the call with one hand, "Hello?"
A warning voice came from the other side: "Pineapple, did you use your bank card to buy takeout online? More than ten minutes ago, someone tracked your signal through the Internet! I have already told you not to use the payment account to buy things directly online. Doing so may expose your identity! You need to find someone to buy virtual currency, mix the currency in the mixer, find someone to sell it, and then use a private account to consume! This will be safer!"
The young man simply didn't want to hear what he said, and replied casually, "Don't worry, no one can track my signal. You are too nervous, Jaguar."
"What are you doing? Playing games? Why do I hear the sound of the game? Didn't I ask you to communicate with the people from Fire of Aragua? How far have they progressed now?" Jaguar was a little annoyed.
The young man replied: "I have communicated with him as you said, and they have decided to launch a revenge operation at night. I can't really participate in other things. What else do you want me to do?"
"Then you should pay more attention to safety! After completing the mission, you must cut off the signal for more than 24 hours. Have you forgotten the rules of our organization?"
The Jaguar asked, "Do you know what kind of person Juan Jin is? If he finds you or even catches you, your fate will be miserable!"
"We shouldn't have messed with him in the first place. Fxxk! I'm dead again."
The young man was a little puzzled, but he still quit the game and turned off the computer. "Okay, I've done it. Now I'm going to unplug for more than 24 hours and live like a primitive man. No one can contact me except by using a satellite phone."
Jaguar said in a gentle tone: "As long as we successfully complete this mission, we will be able to get in touch with the people of Aragua Fire. The organization is already working on the next step. This operation will definitely go smoothly. The target person is very rich. After all, not everyone has the firepower configuration of Juanjin."
"Who would have thought he had a warship?" The young man envied. "These rich people deserve to die."
While the two were communicating, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the young man and the person on the other end of the phone were startled.
"What's going on? I heard a knock on the door?" The jaguar became alert again.
"Oh, it should be the takeaway ordered by my girlfriend." The young man answered without hesitation: "Don't worry, I'm safe here."
"Then I wish you good luck." Jaguar hung up the phone dissatisfiedly.
The young man shrugged his shoulders and didn't care. He shouted to the other room: "Honey, did you order takeout? I'm about to cut off the network power supply. From now on, I can no longer use my own network equipment. I can only play with you."
"No, I didn't order takeout." The girlfriend felt confused, but soon smiled and said, "You don't have to be depressed about this, because you can indeed come and play with me."
"I think it's OK!" The young man danced enthusiastically and turned to run to the door. "I'll go open the door to see who it is. It might be our neighbor Mali who came to borrow something again. That old guy has always been unreliable."
"OK." The girlfriend replied.
