Chapter 56: Taking the Head Start

Mason and Goosby both looked at Luke in surprise.

Because after the interrogation, they all saw Chief Walmack tear up the pardon order.

Luke didn't answer them, just gave them a mysterious smile.

Neither of them asked any further questions.

But Mason would surely be grateful to Luke.

Luke didn't want to offend a ruthless man like John.

As for Wallmac, Luke is not afraid of him. Does he really think that the Qin family's financial power is just for show?

It was just that Goosby complained a few words to Mason.

Because Mason beat up Goosby on his way out...

Mason turned around and pointed at Luke and said:

"He's much smarter than you."

The three of them returned to the hotel, and Mason and Luke both laughed when they saw Chief Wolmac with his arm in a sling.

Finally, everyone arrived at Pier 9 in San Francisco Bay, where the warehouse had been converted into a temporary command center.

A huge scaled sand table and blueprint of Devil's Island is in the center.

The military's Navy SEALs have arrived.

Everyone gathered around the sand table to discuss the infiltration plan.

At this time, Luke looked at the captain of the Navy SEALs and said:

"Lieutenant Colonel Anderson, how many of you are there?"

Minister Paxton had already introduced them to everyone when we arrived.

He looked at Luke, the bomb disposal expert, with some confusion and said:

"10 people, any questions?"

Luke had already seen the soldiers, but he just wanted to confirm it further.

When Luke heard Lieutenant Colonel Anderson's answer, he burst into swear words.

"Fuck, whose idea was this? Are you asking us to die?"

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that Luke would dare to swear in front of so many bigwigs.

Everyone guessed it just by seeing Chief Wolmack's unhappy expression.

One of Colonel Anderson's men said:

"Agent, do you look down on us?"

Luke shook his head and said:

"You are also soldiers. You should know that the marines on the island are also elite soldiers. They occupy advantageous terrain and are well-equipped. What are the chances of winning with ten of you?"

Without waiting for the soldier to answer, Luke continued:

"These ten people not only have to rescue the hostages, but also defuse the bomb. Aren't you just going to die? You are ordinary people, not Superman." (Marvel has DC comics, and DC has Marvel comics. This is normal.)

After hearing what Luke said, everyone fell silent.

Lieutenant Colonel Anderson said to Luke:

"Agent Luke, what do you have in mind?"

Luke says:

"If I were the fucking commander, I'd love to send a battalion, but that's obviously not realistic."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Luke continued:

"We have to determine personnel allocation based on mission objectives."

Anderson nodded, agreeing with Luke's analysis.

Luke continued:

"Mission one, search and dismantle missiles, this requires a team, mission two, search and destroy the enemy's command center, this requires another team, mission three, rescue hostages and wait for support, this requires another team, and they have to be done at the same time."

After listening to Luke's statement, Lieutenant Colonel Anderson said:

"That's unrealistic. Right now the closest team on the West Coast is only one team, and we can't get three teams together."

Luke said:

“You can ask the FBI’s HRT (Hostage Rescue Team) to come. They are professionals in rescuing hostages.”

Anderson and Paxton both nodded. The mission was secured and the credit was earned.

Now everyone looked at Wolmac.

Although his expression was grim, what Luke said did make sense.

After thinking about it, he said to Anderson:

"It looks like we need more helicopters and equipment."

When Luke heard this, he almost cursed again.

"What? By helicopter?"

Lieutenant Colonel Anderson told Luke about the infiltration process.

Take a helicopter to jump into the sea near Alcatraz Island, enter through the underwater drain, and dive for a while.

Luke shook his head after hearing this.

"General Hammer has a lot of combat experience. It will be easy for him to get radar, but it's not the same for sonar."

"We can't approach Alcatraz by helicopter."

Walmack asked depressedly:

"If we don't use a helicopter, are we going to have to swim over there?"

Luke smiled and said to Lieutenant Colonel Anderson:

"We have submarines. Don't say you haven't been trained for this."

"In addition, we need to deploy at least three Patriot air defense missile systems along the coastline, just in case. The loss of interception in the sea is much smaller than that of hitting downtown San Francisco."

"It would be best to have the Air Force and Navy send in electronic jammers. This type of missile has relatively low technological content and should be easy to jam."

At this time, Wolmack no longer cared about Luke, the troublesome deputy commander. It was obvious that Luke's suggestion was safer.

There is no difference for him whether sending one team of people or three teams of people.

So Walmack also agreed to this plan.

"I will contact the Pentagon immediately."

Lieutenant Colonel Anderson didn't know Luke and thought he was just an ordinary bomb disposal expert, but it was obvious that Luke had a cooler mind.

Luke looked at the SEALs behind him and said to Lieutenant Colonel Anderson:

"Lieutenant Colonel Anderson, your weapons need to be replaced."

Speaking of professional fields, Anderson also became interested. Anyway, he has a lot of things to prepare now, so it's a good opportunity to see if Luke has any good suggestions.

"Because we are mainly facing infiltration and encounters, silenced firearms are a must."

"And the marines on the island are likely equipped with bulletproof vests. The 9mm MP5s you are equipped with are not lethal enough."

Lieutenant Colonel Anderson actually had the same concern, but it was indeed inappropriate to carry an assault rifle.

Luke said like a salesman:

"I recommend the QAP3SD submachine gun produced by 55Q. It uses the gas-operated principle and is more reliable. The 5.5mm bullet can penetrate level 3 bulletproof vests. It has low recoil and is even quieter after being silenced."

Anderson said helplessly:

"This gun is too expensive, the Pentagon won't equip us..."

Luke continued to seduce:

"Someone has to pay for the expenses of this incident, right? Hehe~"

After saying that, he looked at Minister Paxton.

Minister Paxton immediately understood and said:

"We the FBI will pay for this."

Luke nodded and said:

"Considering other possible firefights, we should also get some semi-automatic shotguns and assault rifles, and also change the pistols."

After saying that, in front of everyone's stunned expressions, Luke took out his phone and dialed the number.

"Uncle Chen, have the people from our weapons company's San Francisco branch send some weapons and ammunition over here."

"Send it to Pier 9. I'll have someone arrange it."

"10 ACC Honey Badger SDL (standard with integrated silencer), 55 QAP30SD (with integrated silencer), 6 semi-automatic QXM shotguns, 4 QSCAR-HSS precision marksman models, 55 QH40 pistols, and 6 magazines for each gun."

"Master, what else do you need?"

"Ask the parts company to send 40 night vision goggles, as well as laser indicators that can match these guns, night vision scopes, holographic scopes, under-slung grenade launchers, and several types of under-slung grips. Ask them to match them as they see fit. They must be high-end products. As soon as possible."

"Okay, Master."

After hanging up the phone, everyone looked at Luke with kind and friendly eyes.

These high-end products are not something they can afford. The Pentagon is very stingy, and they are lucky to have an MP5...

Now Luke waved his hand and got it.

They made up their minds, hehe... they would never return after the mission was over... never...
