Chapter 666: Chapter 301 Versailles_2
Bailey explained, "The business over there is actually pretty booming, there are people buying guns every day, even outselling our Thunderbolt Fire store. The female salesclerk at the Flying Eagle gun shop has a pleasant way of speaking."
"Looks to me you’re going just for the salesclerk, huh?" Allen Zhang teased, "Don’t you have a thing for Monica Bellucci? Who else among female celebrities do you fancy? Tell me, I just came back from Palm Valley today and touched base with Shadi. If you’re interested, I can get her to arrange for a few celebrity molds for you."
"No way! Boss, you’ve got me all wrong! I’m not that type of guy!"
Bailey immediately countered, "I just go to Texas for deliveries, not to settle down. 2000 kilometers is too far for me, and I’m not familiar with the place. I’m also not quite comfortable dealing with Texans and Mexicans. Leave it to someone else."
Seeing his eagerness to defend himself, Allen Zhang nodded his head, deciding to let him off the hook.
"Distance isn’t an issue. It’s a two thousand kilometers journey, but using the Sieg SF50 for deliveries takes at most a little over three hours. You can also use the Black Hawk helicopter for deliveries. It’s slower, but at least you won’t encounter any troubles along the way."
"Okay." Bailey nodded in agreement. With the General Sect Leader’s permission, it was convenient for them to use the Black Hawk helicopter from the hangar in the suburbs.
Otherwise, Qibatu would probably be the first to object. After all, using the armed helicopter meant that after landing, it would be a hassle for them to carry out maintenance and checks, and the ground crew had it rough.
They were never the ones to show off; they were always busy with jobs like sheet metal painting and screw tightening.
Allen Zhang pushed the door and entered the Armed Nation store, finding the gun shop’s business today to be just average. Apart from online orders, hardly anyone came to the physical store to buy guns.
Erin and Jennifer were still drinking coffee and chatting. Seeing the General Sect Leader, they greeted him warmly.
After many deep conversations, Erin wasn’t as shy as before. She came forward and hugged the General Sect Leader, sealing it with a hot kiss.
Allen Zhang also discovered that she had much potential to be tapped into, even bolder than Jennifer, willing to accommodate the General Sect Leader’s preferences and try out some new things. Maybe that’s what contrast is all about.
Allen Zhang sat on the counter stool and browsed through the arms orders. Only a few guns had been sold, and sales had slumped compared to a few days ago. There were also a few orders that were obviously placed but then chose to cancel or even return. This must have been influenced by the blast incident. The police patrols on the streets of Los Angeles have become more frequent in checking passersby.
He immediately asked Jennifer about work-related issues. Was she slacking off, and what was the deal with these order cancellations?
"My dear, you’ve really misunderstood me. I’ve always been very dedicated to my work." Jennifer immediately complained with a sense of grievance, producing evidence, "Those buyers never really wanted to purchase our weapons; they just wanted to harass our staff!"
"Evelyn, the female store clerk in Texas, can sell dozens of guns a day, making thousands of US dollars. You two should aim to match her sales targets." The General Sect Leader didn’t care much, expressing the harshness and severity of a ruthless boss.
Jennifer also conceded and asked tenderly if he was very upset.
Allen Zhang immediately said he wasn’t that sort of person. It was still working hours, but he couldn’t resist Jennifer. She slid under the table and began her diligent endeavor.
Hiss...
The General Sect Leader could only accommodate her "work."
The pleasant interlude passed in a flash.
Jennifer came out of the restroom after rinsing her mouth and said meaningfully to the General Sect Leader, "You smell like another woman."
"..." You can discern that too.
Allen Zhang had nothing to say.
Also logged into the Opportunity Network account of Armed Nation, left a message to the Resistance Army in the backend of Tijuana’s bidding department, and inquired about their situation.
Tijuana: We have successfully suppressed and expelled the drug cartel, and the current situation is all good. The President from Mexico City has also called to inquire about our progress, but we believe that even the President cannot interfere with our Tijuana City’s regulations and policies. We always stand on the side of the workers, peasants, and citizens.
Allen knew that Mexico’s political power was no longer monopolized by the Institutional Revolutionary Party. After the end of the perfect dictatorship, the Worker and Peasant Party, Capital Party, and various factions are now taking turns in power, and the presidential elections are also very lively. It’s like "the emperors take turns, next year it will be my family’s turn."
But the local influential parties basically have connections with drug trafficking groups, birds of a feather flock together. Otherwise, one wouldn’t have much power to become the president, and even becoming a mayor or governor would be baffling.
Tijuana has also recently emerged as a new Resistance Army force with strong firepower, being a US-Mexico border city, it’s probably only second to Laredo and Juarez in terms of chaos. It’s been in disorder for many years, and the authorities in Mexico City have been unable to, and have had no intention of, intervening. Now that a new party has risen, they have even less control over it.
However, if we’re talking about the most severe disorder, that honor goes to Juarez, which is more chaotic than Bilaredo and Tijuana.
Thunderbolt Fire: If that’s the case, then you’ll need more firepower support. I think those who you’ve driven back, their backing capital groups will definitely not choose to give up. They might even launch crazier retaliatory actions against you! We’ve recently purchased several Black Hawk Helicopters, if you’re interested, you can order directly on the platform. We’ll sell them to you at a price of $4.99 million per Black Hawk Helicopter. If you want to buy A-10 Warthog Attack Planes, they’ll only cost $8.88 million each.
Tijuana: We will consider it, thank you for the support from Thunder Fire Armored Kingdom.
Allen pitched the hot equipment to the other party, also indirectly reminding them of the possibility of facing more severe retribution. As for who the capital consortium behind the scenes is, I won’t say, but you probably have an idea.
The Tijuana Resistance Army obviously had been expecting this and had made some preparations for defense.
But in reality, they don’t have much confidence, as they are indeed poor. They have just taken over the department and haven’t completely stabilized their footing yet. In the past, new parties came into power, but it didn’t take long before even the mayors and party leaders were clueless and ended up dead at home with 72 bullet wounds, ruled a suicide!
However, if they were truly afraid of death, they wouldn’t have chosen to fight a life-and-death battle against the drug cartels in the first place, with a do-or-die attitude.
Not long after, Sieg also sent a message to the General Sect Leader, informing him that the Beggar Gang Disciples had transported the 200,000 sets of American military uniforms and other private goods from the port of San Francisco.
He also sent a few photos.
The 200,000 sets of military supplies filled up three rented heavy-duty trucks, weighing roughly two hundred tons. The private goods Colonel Wood mentioned were inconspicuous and couldn’t be seen among them.
Sieg: How are we going to transport these goods to the military base?
Allen replied: Fill up the trucks with gas and drive directly there. Have Boketu bring the Black Hawk Helicopter to Tucker Airport in Los Angeles, and you and I will take the Black Hawk Helicopter together to the military base.
Sieg: OK.
Pulton Military Base in the SD area is along the US-Mexico border and is not far from Tijuana, about two hundred kilometers from Los Angeles, which is just a few dozen minutes away by Black Hawk Helicopter.
However, due to possible speed restrictions on some stretches of road, heavy-duty truck transport can take at least two hours to reach the destination and three hours if slow.
Allen went up to the second floor of the gun shop, took some weapons and equipment out of the safe, and carried them in his handbag for emergency use.
After coming downstairs, he greeted Jennifer and Erin, asking them to continue tending to the store, and then he left Armed Nation alone, heading on foot to the nearest Tucker Airport.
With his CCW permit, he passed through security smoothly and entered the airport. After waiting for about fifteen minutes, he saw a Black Hawk Helicopter flying in and landing in the center of the airport.
Allen boarded the aircraft, handed over his handbag to Sieg, buckled up, "Let’s go."
Boketu responded and immediately flew the Black Hawk Helicopter up, following the navigation to the Pulton Military Base.
