"There are 12 armed guards patrolling the area, and there may be more people inside. However, we only have two sniper rifles, and Clay and I need to join the assault team."

Jack put down the telescope and felt that things were a bit difficult. The patrolmen were secondary. There was a laser alarm every few dozen meters above the electric fences, and surveillance cameras were installed at key locations. It was quite difficult to break through the perimeter quietly.

"If your other sniper rifle is not as big as the Barrett, I might be able to temporarily serve as a sniper." Negli volunteered.

Jack didn't answer immediately but looked at Reacher, who nodded without hesitation, "Among us, besides Larry, Negley's shooting skills are the ones I trust the most."

Larry, whom Reacher mentioned, was the only black uncle in the special investigation team. He unfortunately passed away in a car accident a few years ago. Jack remembered that the information said that he had won the best rifle shooter in the Army shooting competition.

"Hey, big guy." O'Donnell immediately became unconvinced, "I'm also a sharpshooter."

"You're just an ordinary shooter at best." Reacher sneered without giving him any face.

"That's bullshit. Hey, Dixon, help me out. Back in Biloxi."

Before O'Donnell finished speaking, Dixon laughed out loud. "That was just super shit luck. Normally, you wouldn't be able to hit a donkey 20 meters away."

"Go to hell, you bastards." O'Donnell stuffed a bulletproof plate into his chest angrily, then took the MDX508 handed to him by Jiejie and put it on his back, and picked up a Noveske N4 which was also equipped with a silencer.

These former army soldiers are really carefree, or maybe they are used to seeing life and death, so they actually have the leisure to chat and joke at a time like this.

"OK, Hannah and Negley will act as snipers. Try to kill as many patrolling security guards as possible before launching the operation. The rest will be left to us."

Fortunately, we are all family here, so it won't be a problem if we perform a little beyond our normal level. Jack thought so in his mind while moving his hands constantly, handing the G28E sniper rifle that Hannah was used to using to Negley.

Although Hannah's figure now tends to be closer to that of an urban lady like Jiejie, and she no longer has the overly toned lines of the past, her inner beauty has improved greatly. She is no longer the "weak woman" whose shoulders cannot withstand a few consecutive shots from a Barrett.

"The next question is how should we destroy their internal power supply? The Barrett is equipped with .50 caliber armor-piercing incendiary bombs, which can easily destroy most facilities, but the power distribution equipment is located in the north and is blocked by buildings.

If Hannah were to fire from other directions, there wouldn’t be enough windows to provide cover.”

Jack frowned as he looked at the south gate. Just as Jubal said, their numbers were a little short. Even if he had two or three more helpers, he wouldn't be so constrained.

"Have you forgotten that we have a helper?" Reacher suddenly asked.

"What helpers?" Jack was slightly stunned. What they were about to carry out was not an official mission. Although they had the dual endorsement of the FBI and DHS, they could not even use SWAT at the moment.

The current situation is a bit like shooting first and then drawing a circle. As long as the lost missiles and chips are found, even if all the people are killed, as long as the DHS can get the job done, they will be happy to help clean up.

Just like Jack and Reacher secretly recorded their conversation with Congressman Lavoie through the DHS wiretap, unless they can prove there is a connection between the "Little Wings" project and terrorism.

Otherwise, even if the congressman himself admitted that he had used some power in the operation of the project and even accepted benefits, what would it matter?

If a federal senator can be brought down over such a trivial matter, then there is great hope for this country.

Thinking of Congressman Lavoie, Jack's eyes lit up and he immediately remembered what he had said to Reacher and himself at the zoo.

"You mean to ask Congressman Lavoie to send his people? But it's almost 1 o'clock now, and there are still 4 hours. Lanston must leave early to trade with 'AM'. It won't be enough time, right?"

Reacher curled his lips, "Who knows? Isn't that congressman very proud of his efficiency? Besides, my job is to go in and delay time. Maybe his people can catch up."

Then he pulled out the anonymous phone Jack had given him and the one he had thrown away from a hit man's car in Atlantic City and called Malcolm Lavoie.

After a series of transfers, the voice of a certain congressman finally came from the receiver, "Mr. Reacher?"

Reacher didn't even address me, and asked directly, "You said I could call you for help at any time. Now I have the opportunity to solve all the troubles. Can you still keep this promise?"

"As long as you open your mouth, I can meet your requirements 100% without any discount." Malcolm Lavoie obviously misunderstood something and seemed to think that Reacher was asking him for a favor.

"I need your personal bodyguards, the ones who came out of the Rangers and Navy SEALs."

This request seemed to be a little unexpected to the congressman. He paused for several seconds before reacting, "Yes, that's right, two Navy SEALs and a Ranger."

"Great, I need them to be at a location in Rockland County within two hours, can you do that?" Reacher asked.

There was another pause on the other end of the line. Lavoie seemed to be confirming, and after a while he replied, "If we can solve all the problems at once, no problem."

"Have your people contact me. I will send them the exact coordinates and inform them of the plan of action."

As if realizing that Reacher was about to hang up the phone after finishing his business, Lavoie quickly spoke up, "Listen Reacher, I know you think I'm an incompetent and despicable politician, but I really just wanted to do something good for this country."

Reacher had the speaker on the whole time, and couldn't help but look helpless when he heard these "heart-to-heart" words, while Jack, who was standing opposite him, was already picking his ears out of boredom.

"Yes, I did receive some benefits from it, but all these people in Congress are doing similar things. I never thought that this incident would lead to the death of your friend. You must believe me."

Lavoie swore a lot of nonsense, but was finally interrupted by Reacher, "If you want to confess, you'd better find a priest. Now, let your people contact me as soon as possible."

"Maybe we can try to give Congressman a 'chance'." After hanging up the phone, Jack blinked and said in a sarcastic tone.
