"Kill the drug lord, what will happen to the money?"
Hannibal dismissed Shepard's statement. Long-range fire strikes are easy to say and easy to do. All it takes is the F16 to take off, drop a lot of bombs down, and then everyone waits to dig up the corpses.
This sounds relieving, but when the boss dies and the group disintegrates, it will be a lot of fun when a drug lord group splits into dozens or even hundreds of small workshops.
Thinking about the scene of drug heads running around, any normal person would feel disgusted.
And most importantly!
"No, do you really think we are here to fight drug dealers?"
"This is natural!"
Shepard looked around to make sure there were no outsiders except his own people, and then whispered.
"But fighting drug dealers won't stop us from making money, right?"
"You're in the way by blowing up those guys!"
"That's okay!"
Shepard shrugged. Speaking of which, he still wanted to try drone air strikes or something. Unfortunately, the company he acquired before was currently developing drones at a slow pace. They were bulky, short-range, clumsy and noisy. The large wireless command UAV has no practical significance at all, and is not even as good as the Tu-141 UAV equipped by the Soviets. At least the latter can be put into actual combat use.
And even if the drone can be used, it won't work without the matching ammunition. Shepard can't hang a person on it and drop iron bombs!
However, there is no hope for the drone, but the PD project is making good progress. Through the technicians hired from Spain and the Federal Republic of Germany, and the purchase of a small-caliber bullet experimental production line, the 4.6x30mm bullet that Shepard had in mind was finally solved.
The equipment alone for this bullet line cost Shepard almost several million dollars, and the subsequent testing and customization cost a lot of money, but in the end it took more than two years to complete. Next, Just keep upgrading and improving.
Guns using 4.6 mm ammunition are also advancing simultaneously, but the development progress of the P7 submachine gun is relatively slow. Instead, the designer has developed the C26 that Shepard wanted.
However, the final actual appearance is still very different from the original version. Compared with the sci-fi C26, the appearance of this submachine gun is more like a reduced version of the DR rifle.
The designers used the piston short-stroke gas guide principle on this thing, plus a front ejection structure, so that the shooter can switch between left and right hands very conveniently. As for the magazine, it uses a thirty-round style. Of course, there are also fifty rounds. It had a long magazine and a 75-round drum magazine, but the drums were killed after only a few were made, because after adding the drums, the weight of the gun even reached a full 3.5 kilograms.
This is just the weight of the bare gun, plus tactical accessories will only make it heavier. The most taboo thing about a weapon used for close combat is useless weight. The P5 submachine gun only weighs about 2.5 kilograms.
But no matter what, at least a new gun has been developed, so you have to try it out. Shepard doesn't want the gadget he spent a lot of money to end up with like 200. Although the performance is good, the sales volume is very few. There is not much, it can only be turned into a large toy.
Anyway, Shadow Company will definitely have to play the main role in Seaside Manor next. Shepard directly asked Knight Ordnance to send the new gun to Columbia for the PCs to try.
The test results are indeed good. The effective range of the C26 is much longer than that of submachine guns using 9-par bullets, and the recoil is low, which is very convenient for shooters to control the gun. In addition, the design takes into account the installation of the front grip and leather rails. The problem is that the human-machine performance is much better than those old submachine guns.
What satisfies PCs the most is naturally the armor-piercing ability of bullets!
Of course, there are problems. The 4.6 bullet has a high chamber pressure and causes a lot of wear and tear on the weapon. The barrel needs better materials. The bullpup design is not used by veterans who are used to bullpup rifles. But in general , it is still full of advantages, of course, the cost is naturally a bit more expensive. ..
A gun costs 3,000 yuan, which is equivalent to two P5 submachine guns.
But the cost is not important. After all, there is still continuous optimization.
Space, all Shepard wants at the moment is performance!
While he was happily testing the new gun, senior officials in the United States finally made the decision and issued an order to arrest the drug lord Pablo.
"So, old man Morgan is so worried about us that he just sent an order to come over. Where are the reinforcements? Where are the gunships and fighter jets for support? If not, just give us some money!"
"No, nothing!"
Agent Raza shook his head. He felt that he already had enough power in Colombia. As for the funding, Congress approved $100,000, and then the money was taken away by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Not a cent was left in their hands!
"Okay! Then we can do it ourselves!"
Shepard didn't expect that the old man would be so stingy, so he naturally didn't have any psychological burden for buying more loot.
Pablo's meeting is scheduled for the 16th of this month. This time is the birthday of one of his favorite mistresses. This time he went to the seaside manor for the meeting, and that mistress accompanied him.
Through satellites, the general situation of the seaside estate has been almost understood by the operation command. The next step is nothing more than more detailed investigation. The Shadow Company cannot get involved in those tasks, and can only be done by the Columbia Police Bureau. After all, they are half locals, so they should be able to figure it out.
All Shadow Company has to do is attack the spearhead. To put it bluntly, they are thugs!
"Don't count on ground operations. The place is full of Medellin's thugs. The car will be turned into scrap metal before it has been driven for twenty kilometers!"
"So, we can only attack from the air?"
"Not necessarily, we can do air assault and sea assault together!"
Hannibal gestured on the sand table model and said.
"The manor is too big, and we can't figure out the other party's specific location. Therefore, we need to send as many people as possible to control the scene and then conduct a search. In this process, those thugs will definitely They are coming at us like crazy, so we have to hold on for a while! Then one detachment will definitely not be enough!"
"Then the two teams will act together! Fight quickly and retreat quickly. The helicopter will be responsible for sending away the VIPs, and the combat troops will evacuate by sea?"
Shepard put forward his own suggestion.
"This is a good idea, but in that case, there may not be enough Huey helicopters, and we need to transfer the entire air fleet!"
"Well, let's adjust it then! It's a pity that the Chinook only has one, so I don't dare to send it in casually!"
"Then who told you not to buy a few more?"
"It's about the price, my friend. If I can buy cheap stuff from the Soviets, I'll just buy a 180-piece!"
