Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 1016 - 950: Arrangements

Mountain Eagle was so anxious to call off Peggy's operation, not because he was domineering, but because he thought the people Peggy arranged might not be able to take down that border farm...

And if those mercenaries' actions alarmed Los Zetas and also alerted 'Arthur', then it might not only fail to rescue people but also force 'Arthur' to transfer those so-called nuclear materials.

Mexico's drug cartels smuggling nuclear materials is not news...

As the world's largest importer of nuclear materials, the United States needs about 30% of its annual enriched uranium to be imported from Russia.

Others, like France, the Netherlands, and Germany, are also their procurement targets.

Who would believe that, as the country with the most nuclear weapons in the world, the United States only has one company called 'Urenco' capable of refining enriched uranium, and this company bears the responsibility for filling 30% of America's enriched uranium quota.

But the reality is that purchasing uranium ore and then enriching it in the United States is very expensive, so expensive that even with large government subsidies, the commercial enriched uranium produced by 'Urenco' is still much more expensive than Russia's prices.

Then, under such circumstances, some smart people came up with the idea of smuggling.

Russia's 5% purity enriched uranium is so much cheaper than ours, why bother to exhaust myself with production?

I also want the international subsidies, and I won't give up the profits from enriched uranium. Smuggling Russian enriched uranium here for delivery is a genius business that benefits everyone.

As everyone knows, there is a world of difference between the purity of commercial enriched uranium and weapons-grade enriched uranium, and as long as you have the qualifications, the International Atomic Energy Agency allows commercial enriched uranium transactions.

It's just that this thing is dangerous after all and is very strictly regulated, so it requires some special channels...

The Sinaloa Group once did the business of smuggling enriched uranium, but soon received a warning from the United States, then this largest and most rational Mexican drug cartel immediately handed over several scapegoats and abandoned this super-profitable business.

Mountain Eagle was not at all surprised that Los Zetas meddled in the smuggling of enriched uranium, after all, they have been hit hard in recent years.

Never mind that Claudia Felices is so ostentatious, in reality, the cruel and warlike Los Zetas' money-making ability is not as good as the Gulf Group.

At least the Gulf Group knows they are 'doing business', and in everything, making money is the primary goal, and they can accept showing weakness when necessary.

East has a saying 'Harmony brings wealth'...

But the thinking logic of emerging drug cartels like Los Zetas and Helix New Generation is completely different; they take the path of achieving prosperity through violence, using terrorist methods to intimidate and control territory and subordinates is their core element of development and growth.

This method they cannot abandon, as abandoning it easily leads to a decrease in control.

Therefore, outsiders have the impression that Los Zetas is 'ostentatious', and they are as combative as fighting dogs when encountering any problem, as long as it can be solved through violent means, they will never consider other ways.

Everyone hates Los Zetas, the officials on both sides of the US and Mexico, the civilians, other drug cartels...

Under such circumstances, Los Zetas' profitability cannot compete with an old school drug cartel like Sinaloa, and their involvement in smuggling enriched uranium to maintain the gang's survival is not surprising at all.

Under such circumstances, anyone familiar with the dirty bomb problem will become very tense.

Because no one knows exactly how Death Angel got the dirty bomb into the United States, and using Mexican drug cartels is definitely a possible option.

Using the violence of smuggling commercial enriched uranium, enticing Los Zetas to open their secret channels, and then sneaking the dirty bomb in is completely reasonable.

Mountain Eagle couldn't judge whether there was a dirty bomb in that border farm, but from the cautious actions of the other party, he wouldn't be surprised if there were commercial nuclear materials there.

The only thing that puzzled Mountain Eagle a bit was that the clues on the Mexican side seemed to be deliberately released by Death Angel; it seemed he was deliberately exposing some issues...

There was something here that Mountain Eagle couldn't figure out, but now those things didn't matter anymore...

When Mountain Eagle sent the information to Koby Andrews, the head of the Refugee Group went mad...

Koby couldn't imagine that Mountain Eagle had obtained important information shortly after arriving in Mexico, while he himself was stopped by an invisible force that blocked his investigation steps.

When he requested the Pentagon to open information on several joint training camps in Texas and Mexico and requested an audit, his phone kept ringing...

Some asked why he wanted to investigate the training camps, some downright threatened him to stop the investigation immediately.

The intelligence from 'White Whale' was like a mine that would explode upon touching, even if Koby wanted to intervene under the banner of pursuing terrorists, it caused huge backlash. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Koby was also a smart person, and he realized almost instantly that his investigation direction was planned by Death Angel, and following this line would definitely encounter enormous resistance.

But he really hadn't expected that Mountain Eagle, who set out a week later than he did, would get ahead of him with results.

Smuggling enriched uranium!

With the help of major internal American companies to cover up the smuggling operation, slipping something inside and then avoiding inspection was simply too easy!

In fact, throughout the United States, people have turned a blind eye to such actions, because in the mouths of some bigwigs, buying up commercial enriched uranium on the market is, to some extent, also 'controlling nuclear'.

And Death Angel clearly knows the situation in the United States very well and has taken advantage of this.

"Wait for me, my men and I will take a helicopter to get there..."

Mountain Eagle caught the urgency in Kobe's voice, and seriously said, "Kobe, I don't mean to look down on you; I just want to know, can your people really hold their ground?

This is no joke because the place that might have enriched uranium holds many hostages."

Kobe understood and said, "Mountain Eagle, do you have any good suggestions?

I have a field team here available, 'Heavy Criminal' Nick Foster is their leader, and they are quite capable.

If necessary, I can also mobilize the Border Patrol."

Mountain Eagle smiled upon hearing this and said, "That's perfect, there's a mercenary group there that can cooperate with you in launching an attack, but you must promise me to help transfer those hostages to the United States."

Kobe thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "What about you?"

Mountain Eagle glanced at the peculiar expression on Peggy's face and smiled, "I'll go, of course, otherwise I'm worried you won't be able to beat them."

After speaking, Mountain Eagle hung up the phone, looked at Peggy, who was staring at him in surprise, and said with a smile, "The guy on the other end of the phone is from the Department of Homeland Security; he'll cooperate with the attack on the border farm.

Then I'll send you and Angie over, and he'll escort you and the hostages to the United States.

For the remaining things, you should be able to handle them, right?"

Peggy was stunned when she heard 'Department of Homeland Security', she said incredulously, "You actually know someone from the Department of Homeland Security?"

Mountain Eagle laughed while holding the phone and said, "I'm a good citizen; when I encounter something that might endanger the national security of the United States, what's wrong with calling the Department of Homeland Security?"

Speaking of which, Mountain Eagle looked at Angie beside him, thought for a few seconds, and said, "Don't you need to deal with your friend's issue...

Now is a good opportunity; you call your friend, find out about her lover's whereabouts, and while you're at it, find out about Claudia Felices and that 'old woman's' location.

As long as she meets my requirements, I'll arrange for the people from the Department of Homeland Security to issue her a green card, send her to a safe place.

If she's still uneasy, after a while I can arrange for her to go to Europe..."

Angie glanced at Peggy, then decisively nodded and said, "I'll make the call..."

Mountain Eagle slightly nodded, took out his phone, pondered for a while, and sent a message to Daria, who stayed in Texas Laredo.

After repeatedly weighing his thoughts and feeling that he could handle the next problem, Mountain Eagle looked at Peggy and smiled, "Hey beautiful, if you have any questions, now is the time to ask, I'll try my best to answer.

But for the following matters, you have to listen to me; I will do my best to ensure you complete your task, and I promise to call Jim Clark to solve your problem."

Peggy immediately shook her head and said, "I just want the hostages to safely enter the United States; I'm not interested in anything else."

Mountain Eagle looked at Peggy's serious face, nodded appreciatively...

This is a smart person!

Everyone has curiosity, but smart people can control their curiosity and avoid getting involved in things beyond their capabilities.

After confirming Peggy had no additional needs, Mountain Eagle picked up his suitcase and quickly changed into an outfit similar to Peggy's...

Jeans + T-shirt, and then took out a tactical backpack from the Sergeant System, finally grabbing a pistol and two magazines...

Once ready, Mountain Eagle packed up his suitcase and stepped out of the room. Just as he was about to notify Peggy to depart, his phone suddenly rang...

Seeing the name Ryan Donovan, Mountain Eagle frowned and answered the call, saying, "What's up?"

On the phone, Ryan Donovan lowered his voice and whispered, "Boss, you've stirred up trouble again.

I just heard in the elevator that some cop got a call telling him to bring people over to your room to apprehend someone."

Mountain Eagle immediately thought of Raul Blanco...

Just as he was about to curse, there was a knock on the hotel door...

"Knock knock knock..."
