Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 267 Chapter 264

How heavy is a carriage?How can it fly into the sky?
Zhuang Xuteng's brain was running fast, and he first thought of several aircrafts used during the company's war.The military's heaviest helicopter can barely lift a tank. It should be fine if it is replaced with an empty carriage, but who would want to steal an empty carriage?Zhuang Xuteng would rather not have the carriage, and only remove the valuables inside.So, with the contents included, how much does the car weigh?
Seeing Zhuang Xuteng frowning, Lucy guessed that he was thinking of a feasible plan for action.She snapped her fingers to draw the attention of the two mercenaries back, and said, "This time, Steyer is the leader of the entrustment, and he is in charge of the action plan. You don't need to use your brains, as long as you follow the instructions."

Hearing this, Zhuang Xuteng didn't relax, but frowned even tighter. "Are the two of us just here to help? I'm a bit confused. Could it be that Steyer doesn't have people at the level of me and Brother Dao?"

"Of course he wants to use his own hands to complete this task, but after weighing it and adding a secret test, he found that the level of his men is not good enough. If it is not a last resort, he would not find me and Henry." Lucy sighed: " Thanks to the matter of preparing for the gold basin to wash hands, during this period of time, I had frequent contacts with various middlemen, so I was drawn into this matter. Originally, the final combat power he hoped for——Brother Dao’s position—was determined by the famine Stranger bears it, and advised me to let your master retire later. I recommended you and gave you a guarantee. Fortunately, you have lived up to my trust."

Zhuang Xuteng first expressed his gratitude to Lucy for her trust, and then continued to ask about the actual situation: "Although he arranges the action plan, we activists also have the right to speak? Oh, as long as we can talk. Sister Lucy, how did this task come about?" Yes, the client doesn't just want a carriage, does he?"

"So I'll tell you from the beginning, this information was originally provided by Steyer, I've done a background check - a full, thorough re-investigation is being scheduled and will be done shortly - and so far the information is sound."

As I said before, the client is called Ryuko Shinra, and he has always been a technician.After he was promoted to the chief technical officer of Sangko Yingcong Biotechnology Company, he also behaved very dedicated and professional, without any problems.He has a high income, a good life, and has never had alcohol or drug problems.Everyone thought he was a very pure person, but they didn't expect him to be irrational sometimes.

During an important business event, he had a meeting with an important client at the famous casino hotel in the constitutional capital, so some social activities were arranged in the casino as a matter of course.He's a rookie, and rookies get a little bit of luck, so things started out fine.He won some small money and the talks went well, but the problem happened during the break after the talks were done.

Ryuko Shinra relieved himself of the burden and decided to have a good time entertaining himself.The previous luck made him choose to enter the casino again, and he quickly entered the state, becoming crazier than some old gamblers.In his view, every game is just a math problem, and his opponent is only at the level of a business negotiating opponent, which can be completely controlled by him.He was dazzled by a string of small victories, and the stakes grew higher and the excitement grew.

Of course he will lose, and the more excited it means the worse the loss.Most people would think that they are unlucky, or accept that this is the casino's consistent operating policy, but Liu Ke thinks that the casino is targeting him in particular, which is a kind of insult to him personally.

"Actually, the casino doesn't care whether you are a human or a ghost. As long as you are not cheating, the casino's focus is only money." Lucy said.

Liu Ke turned this matter into a private matter. He was targeted, so he wanted to target him back. As a result, the scene became more and more chaotic.The casino experience was not normal, so she quickly figured out what was going on, came forward to appease him with experience, persuaded him to leave the gaming table, and arranged a separate show for him.In fact, it was to comfort him with the money they earned from him, but they didn't expect to arrange problems.

The program Liu Ke was assigned to was infected with the disease, lost some functions, and the family was in chaos.So far, he has completely given up on reconciliation, and only has one thought in his mind: revenge.So we have this commission, he wants to take revenge on the "Golden Law Hotel Group" in the constitutional capital, and asks to make them hurt, but he doesn't know who to turn to.

"This man's spirit is already a little bewildered. It's best to follow his wishes, lest he become a mass of explosives." Lucy said: "If he wants to see the casino suffer heavy losses, he must be secretly happy. This places high demands on the secrecy of our mission."

Ge Gongdao nodded and said, "I can understand how the mission came about, and I've seen a guy like Liu Ke with a temper. But what does this have to do with robbing the train?"

"The Golden Rule Hotel Group has casinos in seven cities, and the seven cities have different interest groups, and it also provides financial services to these interest groups. Well, to put it bluntly, money laundering." Lucy explained : "A large amount of cash inflows, part of which is washed on the gaming table and sent back as bonuses, which creates a very prosperous state there and attracts more gamblers. , advertising companies, etc. purchased a large number of services, and many of these services have the interests of local gangs, government personnel, and some middlemen. In the end, a huge collection of interests was formed."

"All kinds of funds come in from the casino, and when they come out, they are very clean-yes, you guessed it right, they are also planning to open a casino in our Peicheng, but they haven't decided whether to buy the old one. It doesn’t matter whether to renovate or directly build a new one.” Lucy said: “They have cross-city services, so there is a need for cross-city transportation funds. At first they used security vans, but later they were robbed a lot on the road Once, they were hurt so much that they thought of using the train. And their method was so ingenious that other people besides themselves started using their security train."

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and asked, "If they can launder the money and send it directly to the bank... oh, I get it."

"What do you know?" Ge Gongdao was a little puzzled.

"They transport dirty money. Of course, they don't need to transport the clean money." Zhuang Xuteng said: "The speed and frequency of the influx of dirty money in the seven cities are different. From an operational point of view, it is best for their casinos to be prosperous. It can’t all be like a convulsion. So their cross-city black money transportation is actually a means of resource allocation.”

Lucy nodded, pointed at Zhuang Xuteng with her finger, and said: "Yes, this is the origin of the money train. However, it has continued to develop and has become a special service project. Not only casinos are using it, but many of its partners It is also used. The casino group has set up a security company to operate it, and even insured the transportation. Isn’t it ridiculous to use serious money to guarantee black money?”

Ge Gongdao sighed, but couldn't laugh.

"In daily operations, the casino group will engage in some activities to increase popularity and create reasons for money laundering. Therefore, during the event, the flow of funds will be very large. What we want to steal is the train at this time. Steyer has done It is estimated that a large number of euros and some platinum coins in one train add up to at least 8000 to [-] million—this is just the money used by the casino. There may be so many other things transported together, so this may be a task of hundreds of millions .”

"Hiss... a lot of money." Zhuang Xuteng blushed when he saw Ge Gongdao, and he guessed that he looked similar. "It's indeed a big task! Sister Lucy, isn't that train very special?"

Lucy nodded and said, "It's a passenger train, but a specially made freight car is added in the middle of the train. The security guards and passengers are on both sides of the freight car. It can be said that everyone operates a security post. If the alarm is triggered, the riot squad will be dispatched immediately, and we heard that the casino group is very familiar with the business development departments of several companies, so there may also be senior development managers. Considering this risk, triggering the alarm is tantamount to mission failure.”

"It is one of the few high-speed trains. There is a complete set of operation management system to monitor all aspects of the vehicle. Once it finds that the speed of the carriages is not uniform or other abnormal phenomena, it will automatically call the police. Each carriage of the train will continuously send out positioning information. They are independent, and even the best intelligence officer cannot control so many sources at the same time. The positioning information is received by seven different receiving stations, so there is no way to start from the receiving station."

"Now we are going to use two intelligence officers, who are at the head and tail of the target, to re-establish the control system and isolate the target car. Then one person will keep the signal of the train control system correct, and the other will solve the positioning device of the target car .We think this will give the illusion that the target car is still in place. The next step is to remove it from the entire train and ship it out."

"Due to the problems of the control system cables and positioning devices, there is no way to widen the distance between the carriages to the extent that they can be operated separately, so the method of creating temporary lane separation is also not feasible. There is no way to go left and right, and there is no way to go down. , then there is only upward. After solving the signaling system, lifting the carriage with a heavy-duty transport plane and transporting it away as a whole is currently the only feasible solution.” Lucy tilted her head and said: “What I’m talking about now is still It’s just an outline of the mission, but there are actually many details.”

Zhuang Xuteng went through the outline of the plan in his head, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "It's like giving someone anesthesia, then taking away the waist, and connecting the buttocks to the chest. And only local anesthesia can be used. , Can’t use general anesthesia.”

"Haha, that's probably the case." Lucy tapped her fingers on the table, overjoyed.

"Based on the results, the more serious problems include the loud noise of the heavy-duty helicopter, and the flying cabin is obvious, which will arouse the vigilance of the people on the vehicle. Therefore, the aircraft must be higher and must operate at night, which can reduce the risk of being caught. Possibility of discovery. Does the train's schedule support it?"

"Support. The target car has sleeper berths at the front and back, and it runs at night. I chose this train because of the sleeper berths, so there is very little traffic in the car." Lucy continued: "The front part of the target car is a dining car. It’s a hidden danger point, Naike, your position is probably here. There is a sleeper at the back, Brother Dao should guard here. When the train is moving, you look forward more than backward, so you have to be on guard.”

"How much does this carriage weigh? How fast does it travel? Can the helicopter guarantee the speed and strength?"

"This is exactly what we are worried about now." Lucy said bluntly, "It is difficult to accurately grasp the weight of the car, and the speed of the sleeper car at night is around 150 kilometers, which is also a huge burden for the helicopter. Speed... Fake traffic alerts can be used to bring trains down, but the problem is ... the problem is that there are no helicopters yet."

Ge Gongdao touched his head. "Hey, I don't have the most critical props yet... It seems that there are many problems!"

"Yes, there are still many problems. One middleman can't solve it, and there is still some hope for the three." Lucy said: "The client's request is indeed very difficult. We have also weighed it. It's harder. It's easier to scare the enemy. So when you enter the team, focus on the train and stop talking about other plans."

"Understood. We all come from three middlemen, and the biggest danger is the split of the team. We must form a rope in thought and action to lift that section of the carriage." Ge Gongdao patted his cheeks with both palms, then shook hands. Cheng Quan said, "When will we join the team and what are we going to do?"

"Pack up and come to me tomorrow with your stuff, and I'll take you there. Henry Henderson found a base of operations, in the old mine west of Peicheng, where there is an old railway, which is convenient for training. I guess The task will take two to three months, so prepare yourself mentally."

"Who is there now?" Ge Gongdao asked.

"You will know when you go, but you can't say it now. All the candidates are determined by three middlemen, you can rest assured." Lu Xi comforted Ge Gongdao, and then asked: "Do you two have any questions?" ?”

"Disconnect the middle section of the car, and before reconnecting, won't the rear have no power?"

"Uh... Are you still thinking about the action plan?" Lucy gave a thumbs up and said to Brother Dao: "Look, how dedicated! Well... I just have time and I want to hear your opinion. If you let arrangement, what will you do?"

"A locomotive must be arranged at the back to catch up and provide power for the train. After the train is disconnected, the sudden acceleration of the front part must be carefully controlled. Can you control the train driver?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

Lucy shook her head and said, "Only do that when there is no other way. Any outsider coming in will greatly increase the risk of mission exposure, and it will be difficult to finish."

"Indeed!" Ge Gongdao said while rubbing his hands: "After the things are lost, the casino will definitely conduct a thorough investigation, and the staff in the car will be interrogated. Unless the driver can be guaranteed to withstand the gangster's interrogation methods, otherwise he can't." Give him any information."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said: "It seems that we must pay great attention to the connection of the train during the operation. Sister Lucy, can people leave on the train?"

"Yes, no problem—do you have any ideas?"

"Since we are going to bring our locomotive later, don't waste its carrying capacity. Isn't the helicopter found yet? How about the balloon? The locomotive has a leather bag, connected to a tube, and blows up the balloon with a gas cylinder. Provide upward lift. The shape of the balloon should consider the speed of the car, streamlined... preferably with small wings. I think these balloons can at least reduce the burden on the helicopter, especially if the plane is far from the train. Will there be airflow conflicts? I... I don’t have enough knowledge in this area, so I can probably think of these.”

Lucy was silent for a while, and said: "This is a very interesting idea, and it is feasible. You are right, the load capacity of the helicopter has always been the part we are most worried about. If we use balloons... How big is the balloon? ?”

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't know how to count. But I think the locomotive can pull the carriages, and the equipment it can carry, especially the gas that hits the tank, should be heavier than a carriage. I Not sure if it’s the right word to use, but I think those qi should be enough.”

Ge Gongdao tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "The balloon can only fly upwards, and due to wind resistance, it will be thrown behind by the train. How to control this? Even if the helicopter provides it with forward momentum...it feels so difficult! "

"You're not a driver, so you must find it difficult." Lucy waved her hand and said, "Everyone has difficulties that everyone has to solve. Maybe people think that the part you're responsible for is extremely difficult. This task is indeed very difficult. , but its income is worth doing. The client doesn't care how much the income is, as long as he expresses his breath, so everyone's dividend ratio will be higher than other tasks. And if this is done, it will be considered a rare wonderful thing in the mercenary career Chapter."

Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao looked at each other, and they both saw the flame of enthusiasm in each other's eyes.

PS: Going to watch "Dungeons and Dragons: A Rogue's Honor" tomorrow and take a day off.
