"Is Pablo crazy?"
"I can't see it, he just believes in his own power!"
"If you put a bounty on the entire country's police force, do you believe in yourself?"
"He's rich, so why not put a bounty on a policeman? If you give him a fighter jet, he'd dare to kill the president. Do you believe it?"
"Xin, planes are nothing, I heard those guys also have submarines!"
Shepard was lying by the pool leisurely basking in the sun with a cup of freshly squeezed juice, while his cheap dad, Commodore John Sr., was lying on the chair next to him.
After taking over Carlos, the head of the Fourth Reich, Shepard felt that the previous house did not suit his taste and prepared a 3,700-square-meter seaside residence in Malibu. The price was not expensive at only 12 million. , equivalent to one-tenth of the loot that Carlos exploded.
Because it was an existing house, Shepard simply moved the whole family here after completing the purchase procedures. In order to ensure the living standards of the family, he also imitated Carlos and hired a professional service team of 20 people. , this does not include three other professional chefs who are proficient in French, Turkish, Japanese and Chinese cuisine and an entire security team.
After all, he is considered a well-known capitalist now. If his wealth is not rich enough, he will be laughed at.
In order to get more good things, he even went to several auctions in Europe and got back a lot of good things.
Of course, his life before was actually not bad. After all, he was from a naval family, and there were quite a few stars in his family.
Therefore, in fact, Old John hated Shepard's coquettish appearance, and even criticized Shepard for being immature as a young man in his twenties, and having a little money, but he himself enjoyed a luxurious life. But he had no burden at all, and even snatched away the 1953 limited edition Jaguar collected by Shepard, euphemistically called "honoring the elders."
But Shepard didn't care. Anyway, he prepared a private helicopter for himself, and he usually took this one when he had something to do. However, considering the issues related to Kobe, after flying in the helicopter several times, Shepard switched back to the ground vehicle. Tool.
And today happened to be the weekend, so Old John and Shepard, who didn't have much work, were relaxing and enjoying the strong massage from the Brazilian old lady while chatting about the current business of Shadow Company.
After the Reagan administration came to power, the top priority was naturally to fight against the Soviet Union. To this end, a lot of policies to increase revenue and reduce expenditure during the Carter period were ruthlessly abolished. The CIA received more allocations and greater authority, and accordingly, naturally more a bigger task.
In addition to fighting the Soviet Union, the drug war was another task for the Reagan administration to take measures. As for why it attached so much importance to the drug war, it was not because the president was concerned about the health of the American people. The main reason was because the outflow of U.S. dollars was too serious.
There is an outflow of 180 million US dollars every day, and it is still in cash. This is an important reason for launching a drug war. Signing an extradition treaty with the Colombian government is actually one of the tasks. Cutting off the source of drugs is the top priority of the drug war. Heavy.
But because of the Soviet Union, mobilizing ground troops became a taboo. After all, there were many Soviet-backed guerrilla groups active in Colombia, such as the 19th guerrilla group that once kidnapped family members of the Medellin Group.
Therefore, if it wants to directly attack Colombian drug traffickers, the United States can only rely on the Colombians, but the government also understands the latter's situation. Therefore, in fact, the US military will inevitably participate, but at most it will dispatch the air force. This is the high-level plan out of the bottom line.
Ground operations can only be left to the Shadow Company. They will join forces with the Colombian military and police. The Shadow Company's mission is not only to crack down on drug dealers, destroying drug manufacturing factories, and burning crops are also things that the Shadow Company has to do. , even burning crops is a particularly high priority.
The USDA is even preparing to provide pesticides and professional support for the operation.
Of course, not only pesticides, but incendiary bombs and other weapons are also among the optional weapons, but considering the current situation in Colombia, it is impossible to use ground operations.
Shepard preferred to conduct the mission via aerial bombardment, but Shadow
The only aerial vehicles currently available to the company are old antiques like Catalina. Although they have a large bomb load, their huge size and relatively slow speed are not feasible in places like Colombia. After all, drug traffickers also have them. Anti-aircraft guns and individual anti-aircraft missiles. As for the origin of these weapons, everyone knows. If you don't understand, just ask a well-known intelligence agency. After all, no one except them will fund those right-wing guerrillas.
When guerrillas get weapons, they usually don't actually use them. After all, someone pays a higher price. Work is work and business is business. If you can't tell the difference, then don't mess around in the mountains and rainforests of Colombia!
Therefore, Shepard is still planning to build some less sensitive aerial vehicles, preferably ones that can easily fly more than 10,000 meters, easily hang several tons of bombs, and even be able to shoot missiles and so on!
"Can you just make it clear that you want ghosts?"
Old John rolled his eyes, but he didn't pour cold water on his son. After all, who doesn't like Phantom fighter jets? They have good looks and combat capabilities, but how can this thing be used by a mere military contractor? This is the main fighter jet currently in service in the US military. It has no value. All allies are not qualified to open it, let alone Shadow Company.
"If ghosts can't do it, then a6 can do it too!"
The A6 that Shepard was talking about was a two-seat subsonic attack aircraft. Like the Phantom, it was very active on the battlefield in Vietnam, but this thing was also an active model, and it was also the kind that you don't even think about.
"Can't you be more realistic and consider Hellcat?"
"My grandpa drove it, so I should too, right?"
Shepard shook his head. What kind of flying value does that old airplane from World War II have? It is not as good as Catalina. At least Catalina can be used as a civilian aircraft.
"Wait a minute, I have a good idea!"
As an old Navy veteran, Old John was naturally very familiar with equipment. After all, he would have to command an aircraft carrier if he was promoted again, so he soon had a recommendation suitable for Shepard. ..
"I think a1h is quite suitable!"
"Well, is that Douglas' Skyraider?"
Shepard recalled it carefully and found that this aircraft seemed to be quite suitable. After all, those jets were good, but cost was also a big issue, but there was no need to think too much about the A1 Skyraider!
"Then I'll take care of the Congress, and you'll take care of the planes?"
