Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 270 Chapter 267 Action Plan
The time went back to one and a half months ago. At that time, Steyer still had enough confidence in his plan. He gathered a total of fifteen mercenaries under his command, and carried out cooperative training while investigating the casino.At that time, his target was the casino's accounting center, where large amounts of cash and many valuables were kept.

Lucy approached him to discuss the retirement of the Stranger from Famine, and Steyer was not cold, but just out of politeness, he expressed support for the golden basin to wash his hands.He exchanged some polite information with Lucy, casually talking about Carter Ross.This intermediary from outside the city has a relationship with his target casino, and Steyer thought that knowing more about things would help his actions, so he became particularly enthusiastic.

Carter Rose, also known as Palovich, gave Lucy an address in order to escape from Peicheng.Lucy sent his men to investigate and found that the place was one of his bases of operations, which contained some cash and many intelligence programs.As expected of someone who raised two intelligence officers, the information he left greatly expanded Lucy's original intelligence network, and he was even able to safely spy on the inside of the Riot Squad, PCPD, and the Constitutional Government.

Lucy expanded these new channels to investigate the purple man, the wild man and things related to the company's big operation. This part of the information is very secret, and she will definitely not share it with Steyer.Other things, such as the possibility of a new casino in Peicheng, how to divide the interests of gangs and middlemen, this information is not only popular, but also very easy to exchange.

The speaker was not interested in the listener, Steyer was about to start a casino, he pricked up his ears, and finally heard news related to his actions between the lines of Lucy.The sensitivity of a middleman was aroused, and he immediately conducted a careful analysis, thinking that his actions were likely to leak secrets, so the other party took some new countermeasures.

The two carried out quite complicated trials, and reached a cooperation intention with difficulty—the premise is that the original plan has been leaked.So Steyer approached Henry Henderson and asked him to send someone to his training camp undercover.After a lot of tossing, Steyer locked the inner ghost, and decided to use his tricks to let the duplicitous guy continue his activities, while he started a new one and carried out a second plan.

The undercover agents sent by Henry were none other than the three of Kent.They were expelled from the previous training camp with excuses, and came to the new operation base to participate in the real big operation. This was the reward and compensation for the three of them.Since Steyer put the main manpower into another training camp, there were really no more outstanding and trustworthy mercenaries, so he sent the nightingale and rock sparrow sisters at the bottom of the box to occupy the field intelligence officer. This key position to ensure their own interests.

Without Lucy's intelligence channels in other cities, there would be no action this time, so she is not the host of the action in name, but four people can join, which is the most among the three intermediaries.This is also due to the fact that the mercenaries under her are more elite, quality is prioritized over quantity, and they can pass the assessment.Henry also wanted to send more people in, but the performance of those people was a little bit worse, so I can only apologize.

In front of the nine mercenaries, Steyer will definitely not reveal his old background. It is quite necessary to maintain his "host" personality.Arranging cover tasks and implementing the plan secretly is a sign of smartness; the entrusted tasks need to be completed by others, that is incompetent, how can I mess around in this line of work in the future?What would the mercenaries think?
But what Lucy and Henry value is profit, and the name that cannot be exchanged for money is meaningless to them.

"The things we want to steal are related to the interests of many parties. If any information is leaked or found to be related to us, it will cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, this mission must either not be carried out, or it must be kept secret if it is to be carried out. "Steyer glanced at the crowd and said: "Only the people present know the purpose of the mission and the general method of action. If there are any rumors outside, the plan will be cancelled, and you will not get a penny. If someone after the action Leak the news, and the remaining people will hunt down to ensure their own safety. Shut up and work hard, this is your only choice, is it clear?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded. He also felt that keeping secrets was the most important part of this operation.

Next, Steyer told everyone about the main action plan this time, which was still the same as Lucy said to Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao, but with three prerequisites: steal a heavy helicopter, Carry out a system control test on the same type of train, and get a signal jammer from the PCPD or the anti-riot strike team.

After hearing about this plan, all the mercenaries felt that it was like a fairy tale just like Zhuang Xuteng did at the beginning.Judging from the expressions, the Kent trio came from the old training camp, and the more intense surprise on their faces showed that this was the first time they had heard the whole plan.Prince first expressed his puzzlement and asked, "Why do you have to lift the carriage away? As long as you can enter the carriage, throw the contents to the side of the railway, and then find someone to pick it up?"

Henry pulled his beard and said slowly: "The ruts are too easy to be tracked and the situation is easy to expose. Walking from the sky is the least likely way to be tracked. The minimum detection altitude of the air traffic control radar at our scheduled operation site is 500 meters. As long as the helicopter Below this altitude is stealth. Is 500 meters a problem for you?"

It may be difficult to maintain a flying height of five meters at all times, but the space of 500 meters is more than enough for two pilots.But Muir raised his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "I can fly a helicopter, but I have zero experience in heavy-duty helicopters. I can learn it quickly, but..."

Grove rubbed his hands and volunteered, "I'll do it! I can fly the helicopter backwards."

"Upside down?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"Before and after, of course." Grove smiled and waved his hands. "Where did the plane come from?"

"We'll talk about this later." Lucy pressed her palms down, signaling Grove not to get too excited.

Wayne rubbed his chin with his fingers. His voice was so deep that he couldn't hear it clearly unless he pricked up his ears. "How much does the carriage weigh? Can a heavy helicopter lift it?"

"It was a problem before, until Neck came up with an idea." Steyer continued Zhuang's method of using a locomotive to catch up to provide power, and then use balloons to help transport the carriages.He then asked Grove, "Can it take off like this?"

Grove restrained his smile, thought about it carefully, and said, "The downdraft of the rotor will act on the balloon below, and it is best to be able to distance it by more than 30 meters."

"100 meters." Lucy raised her finger and said, "You can't let the people on the train hear the loud noise of the helicopter at close range."

"100 meters... the heavier the thing below, the more it will shake. With the extra lift of the balloon, the entire mechanical system will be very complicated. Let's not say that the airflow in the initial ascent will be affected by the train, even if it has already flown It is also quite difficult to control. If you want to know the exact answer..." Grove bit his lip and said: "If there is a fifth-level wind that day, this matter can't be done-no matter how good the driving skills are, There is no way to deal with the growing volatility."

"Understood, level five wind. Are there any restrictions?"

Grove thought for a while and said, "Reduce the weight of the plane as much as possible, including carrying less fuel and using the best whale oil. Since the purpose of using the plane is to avoid ground tracking, then there are conditions to control the range. As long as the minimum safety is met If there is no distance, unload the load as soon as possible. What is the safe distance?"

"More than 75 kilometers."

"Impossible! A car is so heavy, plus huge wind resistance, do you know how much fuel it will consume for 75 kilometers? Don't forget that I have to fly over, keep hovering in the air, and let the people below connect to the hook... I You have to add a fuel tank."

Everyone looked at Muir, hoping to get other answers, but the little girl shook her head and said, "I want it to succeed too, but it's useless to convince us. We can't fly, helicopters can fly."

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and asked, "If you just hoist it up and fly 75 kilometers, is there enough fuel?"

"Enough." Grove looked at Zhuang Xuteng and said, "What do you think?"

"We're going to drive over there, bring the helicopter with us, get closer and then take off. If the roof is in the right condition, we can even attach the hook line first, and then take off directly. This will increase the work on the roof, requiring someone to go back and forth several times. But in general, it should be simpler than aerial work. Can you fly a helicopter from a train with a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour?"

"Most models are fine..." Grove thought for a while, as if he didn't want to lose face, he said, "I will find a way to fly it, guarantee."

"But there is a problem!" Muir said: "Most heavy helicopters are above the cross rotor. Considering the weight we have to lift, I think eight rotors can be stable, which is too wide for the railway and is not easy to transport. Even if you get on the train with a straight rotor and temporarily install the remaining rotors, you must consider whether there are obstacles such as poles on the side of the road. At the speed of the train, the rotor will be finished if it touches any pole."

"As long as there is no crossbar." Zhuang Xuteng recalled the battle on the top of the truck, and said: "As long as there is no crossbar, the helicopter can be lifted with the lifting device, and the rotor is higher than the height of the vertical pole on the side of the road. Safety can be guaranteed."

Grove nodded and agreed: "Yes! This is a way. Raise the helicopter in advance so that it is always in the airflow environment above the train head, and the complexity of takeoff can also be reduced. Oh, no wonder it requires two pilots! Myuu Er, it is estimated that the locomotive will belong to you."

"No problem. I will take a closer look at the local environment, especially these barricades and the like. At present, it is possible to use the scarecrow method to take off." Muir thought for a while and said: " Better elevators, dynamic balance and attitude adjustments might come in handy. If you can poke your butt up in advance, it will be easier for the helicopter to take off. I'll look at the environment first and then finalize these details."

"Very good, that's what we need!" Steyer applauded, then looked at Kent and the others, and said, "The work outside the train is entrusted to the three of you, including hook wires, balloons, and covering nightingales and rocks." Sparrow. The work inside the carriage belongs to Naike and Brother Dao, and we must always keep an eye on the changes in the internal atmosphere to ensure that the alarm does not go off. Only by cooperating inside and outside can we complete this work without anyone noticing."

"There are still many problems to be solved." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and asked, "Will there be guards on the train?"

"Don't think about it, there must be." Prince frowned, and this expression gave her a mature flavor. "It was said before that no alarm can be triggered. If there is a guard in the car we are going to steal, this task will not be feasible-we can't avoid him no matter what."

"So we need a special signal jammer." Steyer explained: "The nightingale and chaffinch isolate the basic information of the target train and use a wired connection. The signal jammer is aimed at the target car and suppresses any outgoing signals inside. , and our wired connection can still work. Brother Dao, you are the last insurance, you have to eliminate the possible guards inside, and you can’t let it leave the car, that is, you can’t let it leave the shielded area and send out any signals.”

Ge Gongdao nodded, expressing that he understood.

Zhuang Xuteng let out a breath and said, "So, my job is to find the security guards in other cars, observe them, delay them, and prevent them from discovering that the car is missing?"

"The key is to find them." Steyer said: "We don't know who the escort is, but we believe there must be. You have very good observation skills, this matter..."

"I know leave it to me, but do you know that the car has a front and a back, and the car we want to steal is separated in the middle? I don't know how to do it."

"You're in charge of the front seats, especially the dining car - the sleepers in the back don't feel like a problem."

Zhuang Xuteng stared at Steyer who said this, a little surprised and a little dissatisfied. "Can this matter be handled by feeling? Our people have to go up from the rear of the car and pass through every rear compartment to reach the target. In my opinion, the risk of exposure at the rear will be greater, and it is unwise to give up the rear inspection of."

"You and Brother Dao are at the front and back respectively. If you think the rear is too risky, you can stay behind and let Brother Dao go to the dining car in front."

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "If we separate, then I will be in the front and Brother Dao will be in the back. He wants to enter the target car, and it is easy to cover up his disappearance from the sleeper. Now, it can't be hidden."

"That makes sense..." Steyer nodded.

"Once the signal jammer is turned on, will the communication between us be over?" Zhuang Xuteng asked: "At that time, those in our car will not know the one on the roof; The special contact method of the Shadow Slave can’t use voice, that can’t be controlled.”

Lucy shook her head and said, "I've already thought of this. Rock sparrow and nightingale will add signals to the train broadcast. No matter where you are, you can use them to transmit information."

"What's the evacuation plan?" Zhuang Xuteng asked: "I suggest that the people outside the car should still leave the car. It's best for Brother Dao to return to the car after finishing the cleaning task. We will get off the car normally at the next stop."

"Yes, that's what we planned too." Henry nodded and stroked his beard.

After Henry finished speaking, the mercenaries looked at Zhuang Xuteng, curiously waiting for him to ask the next question.The mercenaries who worked hard on the scene understood a truth: the more they think and the better they prepare, the higher the chance of mission success and they will be safer.Zhuang Xuteng asked every question to the point. They just needed such a person.
