CHAPTER 455: CHAPTER 421: FORMING ALLIANCES
The one who came was ATF’s Daniel Miller...
Mountain Eagle never expected that this guy who claimed to be an ATF undercover agent would make it here!
Moreover, seeing Little Ruby’s grateful look, it was clear that the plane Daniel brought solved a big problem.
Once the wounded were taken care of, the Indian Hunters then had the time to start feeling angry and sad, soon the mood at the camp began to get edgy.
Old Ruby and Wayne took on the role of soothing them, pulling them into the log cabin and handing each of them a glass of strong liquor...
Meanwhile, Little Ruby took Daniel to the open-air kitchen, seeing the boss repeating that day’s miraculous cooking, Little Ruby exclaimed in surprise and then came running over, saying, "Boss, your friend is here, he helped us a lot..."
Mountain Eagle was cutting the beef which hadn’t yet thawed into mahjong-tile sized cubes.
Hearing Little Ruby’s introduction, Mountain Eagle glanced at Daniel Miller, in his jeans and jacket, wearing a cowboy hat, and said to Little Ruby: "Not everyone can be my friend, if someone tells you that in the future, you ought to be more cautious.
Nowadays, there are more bad people than good ones!"
Daniel Miller still looked quite handsome after getting cleaned up, seeing Little Ruby giving him a suspicious look, he spread his hands and said: "Buddy, I think I’m friends with your boss, and I’ve helped you guys out, right?"
Little Ruby, not the brightest, got a bit confused by Daniel’s words...
Seeing Little Ruby’s confusion, Mountain Eagle smiled and said, "Go take a nap, and when the meal’s ready, I’ll have someone call you."
After hearing this, Little Ruby hesitated for a moment, then resolutely shook his head and said, "I won’t wake up if I fall asleep..."
Saying this, he glanced towards the direction of Mountain Eagle’s tent and said, "I’m going to peel potatoes, oh my God, how did those two brown bears get here?
They can eat a week’s worth of food in one meal, what kind of madman would bring bears into the camp?"
Mountain Eagle laughed in annoyance, pointing at his nose and said, "Your boss is that madman; since you have time to criticize the boss, you definitely have time to secure a bear den.
And while you’re at it, flip through your phone book to see if anyone is willing to make a trip to bring me some milk or the like."
Having said that, Mountain Eagle urged Little Ruby to get going, then looking at Daniel who kept smiling at him, said, "Mr. Undercover, what are you doing here?"
Daniel pulled a document from his pocket and handed it to Mountain Eagle, saying, "I really was an ATF undercover agent, well, not anymore...
I have something I want to consult you about..."
Mountain Eagle took Daniel’s document, gave it a glance, and nodded slightly, "What do you want to ask?"
Saying this, Mountain Eagle pushed the cut but still slightly frozen beef into a big bucket, poured clean water over them to start soaking...
Daniel rubbed his hands and said, "That day, you talked with Redick at Horned Demon Billy’s den about Jungle Ants..."
Mountain Eagle paused slightly, then turned to look at Daniel and said, "Uh-huh, go on?"
Daniel, seeing the busy Indian women around, said somewhat uncomfortably, "Sir, can we find a quieter place?"
Mountain Eagle found a woman to replace him, then waved at Daniel and led him to a platform where his tent stood...
Watching Luna wrestling with potatoes with a spoon while still occasionally monitoring the two bear cubs drinking milk and the startled reindeer, he smiled, rubbed Luna’s head, and said, "Great job Luna..."
Luna looked at the milk stains on the corner of a bear cub’s mouth, smacking her lips and said, "Daddy, can I try the reindeer milk?"
Mountain Eagle paused, shook his head and said, "That reindeer is already struggling to feed two cubs, we shouldn’t compete with the bear cubs for milk.
Put your effort into peeling potatoes, later daddy will treat you to a special dish, delicious and flavorful beef stew with potatoes!"
Having said that, Mountain Eagle handed a small stool to Daniel to signal him to sit down, then sat next to Luna with a peeler and quickly peeled a clean potato...
Seeing Daniel hesitating, Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "Let me introduce, Luna, my daughter, Daria, my assistant...
I trust them a lot, whatever questions you have, ask quickly, I still have lots to do."
Daniel, trying to fit in, reluctantly moved closer to the large basket full of potatoes, and while helping to peel them, said, "Sir, you know I was undercover next to Horned Demon Billy, to investigate an arms shipment."
Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "I saw the AT4 and many military rifles on Horned Demon Billy’s fleeing vehicle; if there’s more of that stuff, then you really need to keep at it...
The AT4 is used as an anti-tank weapon, it’s very dangerous!"
Daniel listened and nodded, "I was undercover next to Horned Demon Billy to track down clues, and through him find the people selling those weapons, but sadly..."
As Daniel looked at Mountain Eagle’s somewhat mocking expression, he spread his hands and said, "OK, OK, don’t look at me like that, ATF isn’t DEA, we don’t have jurisdiction over drug crimes, and my undercover operation wasn’t very long...
Sir, now that the Horned Demon Billy clue is gone, I need to find new leads...
As you said, those weapons are very dangerous, and from what I know, those people might have even more powerful things than just AT4 rocket launchers."
Mountain Eagle paused and said with a laugh, "More powerful than an AT4? What is it?
Javelin? Stinger?"
As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at Daniel’s strange expression, took a deep breath, and said, "Don’t tell me I guessed right!"
Daniel pursed his lips slightly, looking a bit helpless as he said, "A year ago, we received important intelligence from an informant that someone was manipulating the Marine Corps’ weapons inventory by training soldiers and applying for weapon disposals, allowing a large batch of dangerous weapons to flow into the market...
It included about 500 M27 rifles, 2 million rounds of ammunition, 20 Javelin missiles, 10 Stinger missiles, 200 AT4s, a batch of hand grenades, and 150 kilograms of TNT explosives."
After hearing this, Mountain Eagle said incredulously, "All that stuff, and those logistics just wrote a report and destroyed it?"
Daniel helplessly spread his hands and said, "It’s quite normal, the Marine Corps has many bases, and logistics personnel can adjust stock with a few clicks on a computer.
Such empty to empty operations quickly cover up traces, as there’s also consumption during base training.
Those involved in this are veterans, we ultimately can’t trace where those weapons were leaked from.
In the past, our main focus was the US-Mexico Border, who would have thought someone would actually move the weapons to Alaska?"
Daniel let Mountain Eagle absorb this significant news, then continued, "Sir, Alaska has a small population, and not a big crime market...
Those people wouldn’t stash those things in Alaska forever and never sell them, they must have a purpose for moving those dangerous weapons here!"
Mountain Eagle pretended to nod in understanding, "You think the Jungle Ants are the buyers."
Daniel nodded, "Exactly, those are military weapons, ordinary gangs have no use for them.
Only regular armies, mercenaries, or terrorists needing to confront powerful enemies would try to acquire such high-caliber weapons, otherwise, having them would be a burden."
As he spoke, Daniel threw a potato into the basket and said earnestly, "Sir, I need information on the Jungle Ants and I also need to know the purpose of your visit here..."
Mountain Eagle candidly spread his hands and said, "I’m Thai Police, I came here to track down a criminal who committed acts of terrorism in Southeast Asia, and that guy uses the Jungle Ants.
I have accurate intelligence that the Jungle Ants will come to Alaska, so I followed them here."
Mountain Eagle looked at Daniel who was frowning slightly and smiled, "I think, as an ATF agent, you probably can’t solve this issue alone, I suggest you notify your colleagues in the FBI.
Of course, if you don’t want to do that, you can also treat me as a tourist here to hunt, after all, I really did pay."
Daniel pondered for a moment with a furrowed brow and said, "How did you determine the Jungle Ants would land in Alaska?
As far as I know, the Jungle Ants come from Venezuela, which is very far from Southeast Asia.
Moreover, the Jungle Ants are not some elite force, the cost of such a long-distance move is quite high, they could completely hire suitable people locally in Southeast Asia.
Especially moving the Jungle Ants from Southeast Asia to Alaska...
Who exactly is the person buying these Jungle Ants?"
Mountain Eagle chuckled, "Because I eliminated a squad of Jungle Ants in Southeast Asia and got a confession from the survivors...
They told me, the remaining Jungle Ants boarded a cargo ship bound for Alaska.
And the person behind this is called Black Fox, one of the founders of an extreme populist organization in East W!
I’m not sure exactly why he’s doing this...
But I guess he didn’t bring the Jungle Ants to Alaska just to fish and hunt."
Mountain Eagle looked at the solemn Daniel and said seriously, "Since you know about the Jungle Ants, you should understand these people are madman, to maximize their effectiveness, you need to provide them with enough military arsenals.
I think your approach is right, capturing the demand side could possibly let us trace the supply side."
Daniel, clearly a smart man, looked into Mountain Eagle’s eyes and said, "So, are you here because you’ve found the target of those Jungle Ants?"
Mountain Eagle didn’t think he had anything to hide, so he nodded and said, "I have some speculations, and I’ve already done some preliminary reconnaissance...
I’ve been filtering high-value targets in Alaska, and there’s one in that distant mountain."
Daniel’s eyes lit up as he asked, "What’s there?"
Mountain Eagle put down the potato in his hand, took out his phone and waved it, saying, "Are you sure you want to get involved?
Once you see it, there’s no turning back!"
Daniel, sitting up straight, said, "Of course, I’m an ATF agent, it’s my responsibility to track down missing military weapons, any possible clues are my targets!"
Mountain Eagle liked this kind of guy with a sense of personal heroism, so he opened his phone and gestured for Daniel to come closer...
"This here is Hell..."
