Among the many wealthy Americans, Zuckerberg spends the most on security.
This Jewish CEO spends more than $20 million a year on his personal safety and has even built an underground shelter, making him a prime example of someone who is afraid of death.
The Jody family's bills in this area were originally only around a million dollars, but the combination of many events this year has led her to raise the standard to the five million level without hesitation.
Of course, once the storm passes, the standard can be lowered, so Xia Yu didn't hire a lot of people, but only sent headquarters staff over to deal with it for a period of time.
Without using tanks, fighter jets, or armed helicopters, and at most two Black Hawk helicopters, the revenue is actually quite good.
Since it's within the United States, the state government will deploy the National Guard if there's a problem. I'm not sure about other states, but Washington State deployed the National Guard once in Seattle in June, sending 150 armored vehicles.
According to Johnny, the scene was spectacular.
"Deploying warthogs would be more deterrent, but birds of prey are also an option."
Xia Yu said with a hint of regret.
In addition to A-10 attack aircraft, the National Guard is also equipped with F-22s, F-35s, B-2s, and so on. Unfortunately, those state governments are still too timid.
"That would escalate the situation, especially since this is an election year."
Liv said, holding the little grapefruit.
Yes, this is an election year, and the sudden changes may have already affected the real estate president's second term. It's best to avoid any unexpected problems for now.
"I have a feeling this guy's chances are slim. He might only get one term, just like the nice guy."
Xia Yu said with amusement.
In an election year, such a thing happened, and he has no choice but to take the blame. It cannot be denied that he has a group of die-hard fans, but more people want to vote him out.
After resting for one night, the family of three went to the cemetery to pay their respects to Paul the next morning.
After practicing during Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Ghost Festival, Winter Solstice, and Lunar New Year's Eve, Xiaoyouzi has perfectly mastered the process of burning paper money.
US dollars and gold bars specially sent from China were burned in a brazier, along with paper models of various airplanes and armored vehicles.
Meanwhile, in the subspace hangar located at the retina of Xia Yu, an F-16XL modified from the F-16BM platform was injecting fuel and pure oxygen, and then quickly burned into ashes and wreckage.
After acquiring the Mirage-4000, Xia Yu, who had collected five delta-wing fighter jets, also unlocked delta-wing related technologies. Xia Yu then modified two delta-wing F-16XLs.
He kept one of them for himself and burned the other for a deceased friend.
Fearing that Paul wouldn't be able to drive, they specifically chose the two-seater version, with a paper pilot in the back seat.
Xia Yu evenly spread the ashes and remains from the hangar on the ground around the coffin, thus putting an end to a matter on his mind.
Back at the farm, he plans to disinfect the premises after closing tomorrow before visiting the FHC Museum.
However, plans can't keep up with changes, and the next afternoon Xia Yu received a phone call.
"Is this Mr. Sherlock? I am Marquez. My son and I need your help, as well as the help of Concentrated Fire Defense."
English with a Spanish accent came through the receiver.
"Please describe your situation in detail."
This is a business opportunity. Small orders are handled by the employees, but those who call Xia Yu are big deals. However, he needs to know more information.
"The situation is roughly like this: because I haven't disciplined him properly, Rudolf has been flaunting his wealth online every day. Not long ago, he even blocked the Matuteremus in Guadalajara with his luxury car and filmed it..."
Márquez explained the whole story in just a few words.
It's very simple. Basically, it's about a rich kid becoming an internet celebrity, making videos on TikTok showing off his wealth, obstructing public transportation, which angered a drug cartel and led to a kill order being issued against him.
"So you want to focus your defenses on eradicating this drug cartel called CJNJ?"
Xia Yu confirmed with the other party.
The Jalisco New Generation Cartel, or CJNJ for short, is no ordinary drug cartel. Since its leader, Elmenjo, took power, it has used the huge profits from selling laundry detergent to purchase weapons and equipment on a large scale, and in recent years it has completely transformed into a paramilitary organization.
After his power expanded rapidly, the extremely vain Elmenjohn would issue kill orders to anyone who insulted him online, and he has killed nearly a dozen internet celebrities.
Although Márquez's son did not verbally abuse the other party, the other party felt that Guadalajara was CJNJ's territory, and no one, regardless of wealth or poverty, could break the order they had established.
In most countries, this is a crime punishable by two days of imprisonment for violating public order regulations, but for Mo Xige, who was rampant with drug cartels, it was a capital offense, which the father and son were naturally unwilling to accept.
Old Ma immediately hired the best security company in West Banda to provide 24/7 close protection for his mentally challenged son. He then found a middleman to smooth things over and apologize, hoping to resolve the matter.
But the arrogant Hermencho didn't give this oil and gas tycoon any face, so Márquez had no choice but to resort to his financial power.
"Yes, Mr. Sherlock, I originally wanted to hire West Bamba PMC, the company that protects my son, but they declined the job after assessing their own strength and that of CJNJ, saying that they are not good at offense and that you should hire Concentrated Firepower Defense for this kind of job."
Old Ma recounted how he found the concentrated fire defense.
It turns out the business was introduced by a colleague. It seems their operation in Germany left a deep impression on everyone!
This is the effect of advertising; the success in Europe brought business from the Americas to Focusfire Defense, but the background of this drug cartel called CJNJ…
Xia Yu had learned about the situation in various countries in the Americas.
The CJNJ, which manufactures and sells fentanyl and methamphetamine, is highly militarized and has shot down Mexican military helicopters; it has been designated by the DEA as the country's most violent drug trafficking organization.
But were they really able to defeat a host of established drug cartels solely due to Elmenjoh, their new generation leader?
Xia expressed serious doubts, so if he wanted to deal with cjnj, he had to be prepared to deal with the forces behind them.
“I’m willing to pay $500 million to hire concentrated firepower defense to wipe out CJNJ.”
Upon hearing that Xia Yu remained silent, Marquez immediately made a bid.
This is the profit he made from reducing his shareholding some time ago. It was originally intended to be used to invest in other areas, but unfortunately his foolish son pulled this stunt, so he had to lose money to avoid further trouble.
"It's not about the money right now. I'm in Seattle right now. How about we meet and talk if possible?"
Xia Yu wanted to earn the 500 million, but he didn't give the other party a definite answer on the spot. Instead, he chose to have a face-to-face meeting.
While the other party was on their way to the United States, he could still gather intelligence to gain a more comprehensive understanding of CJNJ.
"Okay, I'll fly directly to Seattle tomorrow."
Márquez also felt it necessary to make this trip, as he needed to meet with many people to clarify things.
After hanging up the phone, he felt a little relieved. If even the powerful PMC company, which could wipe out extremist organizations, couldn't take down CJNJ, then even the US military might not be able to do anything.
"President CJNJ really wanted to help Mexico by using drones and Hellfire missiles to strike them, but the Mexican government refused us."
On the other end of the phone, a deputy director of the DEA spoke.
The president, a real estate tycoon, didn't wage war during his term, but he did conduct numerous strikes using drones and Hellfire missiles. His hatred of cigarettes, alcohol, and laundry detergent might genuinely stem from a desire to assist Mexico in combating domestic drug cartels, but offering drones and missiles—a form of assistance that involves opening up airspace—is a different story.
Countries far from the US mainland might agree, but it's normal for Mexico, which borders the US, not to.
Because this is genuine interference, the Mexicans might only agree if it's changed to a PMC company.
"Mr. Sherlock, Focused Fire Defense wants to target CJNJ."
After a long conversation, the deputy director tentatively asked Xia Yu a question.
"Yes, the problem is that we need intelligence support. Neither the police nor the military in Mexico can be trusted."
Xia Yu said with some difficulty.
The country's legendary last line of defense, the Marine Corps, has also been drastically reduced in size and can no longer play a significant role, so he must find a strong external ally.
"Make sure DEA is involved in this strike operation."
The deputy director, feeling that a promotion and raise were within his grasp, immediately spoke up.
Among the law enforcement agencies in the US, the DEA is still trustworthy. However, to paraphrase a famous saying, "Without buying, there is no killing," the demands of the general public are there. No matter how many drug cartels they take down, new people will soon take their place.
This is what is called treating the symptoms but not the root cause. A society that can legalize hemp is too crazy; it's directly cultivating a large-scale consumer base.
The fundamental problem is that the situation cannot be reversed by a single law enforcement agency, much less by a single PMC company.
Ultimately, Jihuo Defense was merely employed by wealthy businessmen to counter death threats from drug cartels; it did not involve disrupting their operations.
He introduced DEA through an intermediary, primarily to counter the forces behind CJNJ.
The EU and UN's 1 billion euros would be enough to hire a concentrated fire defense force to sit in Libya and eat sand for half a year, while Márquez's 500 million euros would be enough for the entire company to fight for four months.
Compared to the financial resources of those separatist armed groups, Mossi's drug cartel was incredibly wealthy.
Xia Yu estimated that the spoils from this trip would probably be the highest ever, since the top dog was none other than cjnj!
Just as the spoils captured during the Syrian campaign were distributed to the grenadiers, this time the profits would also be donated based on the DEA's contribution.
He suddenly thought of the drug lord in the TV series who donated money to DEA, perfectly illustrating the saying "the devil is in the details."
"We need the full assistance of the DEA, from intelligence gathering to combat operations."
Xia Yu said directly.
Within DEA, it's not all agents and operatives; they also possess their own special operations force, the SRT—Special Response Unit.
This unit was originally formed from the overseas-deployed consulting and support team FAST and the domestic law enforcement special police force. It has extensive experience in dealing with drug cartels and is very suitable to assist the concentrated fire defense.
There's no way around it; their firepower isn't as abundant as the National Guard's. In the past, minor skirmishes were nothing, but this time they're going to eradicate CJNJ completely.
If the firepower is insufficient, it simply cannot meet the client's needs.
"We will definitely do our best."
The deputy director solemnly promised over the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Márquez's private plane landed at Paine Airport.
"Splash splash"
The Black Hawk helicopter transported him directly to the farm.
“Mr. Sherlock, I didn’t realize your businesses in the United States were so vast.”
Upon seeing Xia Yu, Old Ma remarked with emotion.
"I had a small business entrusted to me by my deceased friend, and there was also a need for security in North America, so I opened a branch in the United States."
Xia Yu gave a brief introduction.
In fact, he had long targeted South American gangs and Central American drug cartels, but he just hadn't had the opportunity to get involved.
Who knew that the drug cartel's kill order against the rich second generation would lead to today's deal? The fact that the military and police couldn't do anything to these guys doesn't mean that concentrated firepower and defense are ineffective. The out-of-town dragon is the one who kills the local snake.
"This must be the Holy Mother's arrangement. Moxi was so disappointing today."
Hearing Xia Yu say this, Old Ma said with a devout expression.
He owes his current fortune of hundreds of millions entirely to the mercy of the Holy Mother; these damned drug cartels have offended him and deserved their demise.
When Gabriel García Márquez, a Catholic, decided to use a portion of his wealth to judge these devils, he did not hesitate at all. Perhaps this is another form of "doing good deeds"!
"Focus Fire Defense is willing to take on this business, but we need Mr. Márquez's absolute cooperation."
Xia Yu, who didn't believe in the Virgin Mary but only in himself, finally gave a positive answer.
"I will cooperate, I will definitely cooperate."
Old Ma finally breathed a sigh of relief. With their combined firepower stronger than that of the Mexican military, the attack would surely be a success, wiping out these drug cartel groups that were willing to kill.
"First, you need to obtain authorization from your country's president, and you must maintain strict secrecy in the early stages of the operation in order to catch the enemy off guard and significantly weaken them from the very beginning."
Xia Yu mentioned two points: if Mo Xi could refuse the Americans, she could also refuse the concentrated fire defense, so the client must assume the responsibility of smoothing things over.
In addition, the country's law enforcement agencies are seen as sieves by drug cartels, so secrecy is also very important.
He already had a general strategy in mind for dealing with CJNJ: a multi-pronged approach to launch a blitzkrieg.
Yesterday he made many phone calls, and even confirmed the current location of the Jihuo satellite.
These drug cartels don't actually act as pirates, but they do transport goods over the sea. If Xia Yu can deploy a dock landing ship in the waters off Mexico, it can temporarily cut off their transport routes.
Honestly, CJNJ can kill this and that all day long, or maybe they have too much merchandise to handle and are just bored.
When they can't sell their drugs and other drug cartels take over their share, they'll realize they've made up their minds and regret not making money with their drugs instead of getting involved in the internet industry. They were just being lazy and bored.
"Sure, I'll take care of both."
Old Ma immediately nodded in agreement.
This is what professionalism looks like.
"Next, we need to set up a battlefield and move your son there."
Xia Yu continued.
In a battle to annihilate an entire group like this, setting up a target is essential, especially when CJNJ knows that the concentrated fire defense is reinforcements brought in by Márquez; they will spare no effort to eliminate Rudolf.
