Chapter 70 A group of veterans (320)

King's Mosque

"Believe me, this place is definitely the safest place in Medellin. Pedro would never think of planting an informant here..."

Matt led everyone into the mosque among the people coming for mass, and then separated from the crowd and walked towards the side hall.

Today is the day when Jack's side meets with the mercenaries. They are short of manpower to rescue Lucy, so Matt introduced a mercenary group to Jack.

The reason why the meeting place is set here is because it will not attract attention.

Jack's party arrived first, and in a room, Matt introduced the other party's information.

"The name of the mercenary group is 'Suicide Squad', haha, laugh if you want. I admit that this name is very low-key, but it is understandable because the members of the group are all old guys, with an average age of over 50 years old.

..."

"Are you kidding me?"

Before Jack could say anything, Sonny expressed his dissatisfaction first. He introduced Matt, and he didn't want Jack and Swagger to think that the person he introduced was unreliable.

"Haha, don't get excited, man, I, Matt, will never cheat my friends, and besides, you paid for it."

Seeing that no one continued to investigate, Matt explained: "Although there are some old guys in 'Suicide Squad', they are all very powerful.

The leader is Barney Ross. He is a World War II veteran. He was a Green Beret and participated in the Vietnam War. Listen carefully. This is the key point. This guy has won two Silver Star Medals, four Bronze Star Medals, and four Purple Star Medals.

Heart Medal, as well as the Distinguished Service Cross and the Medal of Honor..."

Hearing this, Jack and the other three looked at each other, wondering what kind of monster this Barney Ross was.

"It's not a monster, this guy is a hero..." Sonny put away his previous dissatisfaction.

Swag nodded and could only comment like this.

"How can I be satisfied with it? What's even weirder is that for such a person, his commission is actually very low. Barney Ross is a very principled person. In other words, he will not take on tasks that he does not approve of, even if he is given

There is a lot of money, so their business is not very good, oh, here they come..."

As Matt said, several people walked in outside the house. Indeed, as Matt said, these people are veterans. Although they are old, everyone has a murderous spirit.

Matt introduced the two parties and explained the situation at the same time.

"What do we need to do?" Barney's voice was very special, magnetic, as if his vocal cords had been injured.

"This is a rescue mission. You need to help us rescue people. You also need to be responsible for diverting some of the troops when we retreat..."

Jack didn't remember the name yet, but he knew who the other party was when they met. He had no doubt about the fighting ability of these old guys.

Jack explained the risks and the general plan without deliberately exaggerating, but also without deliberately concealing it.

"3 million."

Barney Ross listened quietly and quoted a price.

Jack didn't know much about this, but Sonny had talked to him before. This kind of task in PMC was probably between 3 million and 5 million, depending on the situation.

"1 million, I'll take 15%."

Matt quoted another price, which was not just cut in half, but directly cut to one-third. The latter percentage was his commission, and he needed to take a commission when he introduced the job to Barney.

Hearing this price, the eyes of the veterans behind Barney almost started to blaze.

"2 million, 10%."

Barney counteroffers.

"1.5 million, 10%, this is the final offer, if it doesn't work, forget it."

"Deal, but all the weapons will be provided by you."

It can be seen that Barney is a little reluctant, but maybe they really can't get any tasks, so they accepted it reluctantly.

After all, at their age, even if they have a lot of medals, not many people may recognize them.

Time was tight and the group had no extra time to rest and set off immediately after the negotiation was concluded.

The rescue mission is different from others, Lucy is in danger of losing her life at any time.

In the dark, two pickup trucks left the city of Medellin and drove onto the rugged mountain road and into the forest.

Everyone made a brief introduction to each other on the way. There were four people on Jack's side, Jack, Sonny, Swag and Matt, and five people on the Suicide Squad side, Barney, Christmas, Caesar, Gunnar and Turnpike.

After chatting for a while, everyone found out that Christmas in Barney's team was British and came from the SAS. The rest of the Caesars, Gunners and Turnpike were all Americans. They were just ordinary troops, but they were all veterans who had experienced the Vietnam War and Grenada.

Jack and the others have only fought in the Persian Gulf War, which was the invasion of Iraq.

The pickup truck was driving on the mountain road, and the surroundings became quiet. They were expected to arrive in the middle of the night.

Weapons have been distributed, and the team members are lying in the back compartment holding their weapons with their eyes closed, and only Jack and Barney occasionally chat.

"Would you like some?"

Barney was holding a sausage, and from time to time he cut off a piece with a saber and put it in his mouth. When he saw Jack looking over, he cut off a piece and brought it over with a knife.

"Thank you, can you take a look at it?"

Jack took a fancy to his knife.

Barney didn't say anything. He dropped the knives and handed them over.

Jack looked at it carefully: "What a knife!"

Barney's knife is a bit like a bowie knife, but it is longer, nearly 40 centimeters, which is considered long among military knives. The blade is matte treated, the blade is sharp and fine, and it is suitable for cutting, stabbing and slashing. The back of the knife is double

Designed with large back teeth and a hollow handle, it is equipped with a variety of survival accessories: matches, fishhook, fishing line, compass, etc.

After returning the knife to Barney, after chatting for a while, I realized that the knife was actually made by Barney himself.

A few hours later, the group was about to arrive at their destination. The car stopped two kilometers away. The toll road patted the car and everyone got off.

You need to walk the rest of the way.

Tens of minutes later, the team arrived at the outskirts of the base.

Standing on the ridge, Jack observed the camp with a telescope. Matt had a chance to get a four-rotor reconnaissance drone, but it would only be available tomorrow morning. Jack couldn't wait.

Barracks, wooden houses, docks, lookouts, factories, dining rooms, toilets...

There are lights on in many places in the camp, and you can roughly see the layout inside. After handing the binoculars to others, Jack began to make a simple sand table out of branches and rocks.

"This is a watchtower with a guard, and there is one on the pier at the pier..."

"Building No. 3 may be a temporary resting place for soldiers..."

"The time it takes for a searchlight to go back and forth is about 17 seconds..."

With the help of everyone at the scene, the simple sand table was quickly completed.

Some buildings whose purpose can be seen at a glance are called by names, such as barracks and factories, while other buildings are replaced by numerical codes.

"The factory and barracks are easy to identify, but there are still five buildings 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 left. It is impossible to confirm which building the target is in."

Swager pointed to an area on the simple sand table.

"Buildings 3 and 4 are heavily guarded and very close to the barracks. They are probably the residences of Pedro and Pedro..."

Jack expressed his guess.

"The target is more likely to be held in solitary confinement. I suggest we rush in from across the river and search buildings 5, 6, and 7 first..."

Barney also expressed his judgment.

After some discussion, the action plan was basically determined. They sneaked in through the river, tried not to alert the guards, and searched in the order of 7, 5, 6, 3, and 4.
Chapter completed!
