Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 520: Attack with troops
"Why do I feel that this matter is not that simple?"

Two days later, a Mercedes-Benz armored SUV sped through the suburbs of New Mexico City, followed by two Chevrolet SUVs, also armored.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Ferrari, who had just arrived from Yiligo, couldn't help but express his concerns after listening to Song Heping's statement.

"Let you take over Barlot's smuggling network and drug trafficking channels? The more I look at it, the more it looks like a trap."

Song Heping closed the information in his hand, rubbed his brow, and said, "I know it's a trap. One tenth of the profits, haha, or one tenth of all the drug sales profits that the CIA has control over, for me? Ferrari, do you know how much revenue this can increase for us every year?"

Ferrari did some mental calculations and said, "At least over one billion US dollars."

Song Heping nodded: "Maybe more than that, one billion is a conservative number."

Ferrari said: "We have an old saying in China. There is no such thing as a free lunch."

He always likes to emphasize that he is one-eighth Chinese and considers himself Chinese, so he always uses "we" when he opens his mouth.

Song Heping laughed and said, "But it will fall into a trap."

Ferrari said, "You still jumped even though you knew that?"

Song Heping asked in return: "Do I have any choice?"

He turned his head to look at Ferrari.

"The negotiations took place on US soil, which is their territory. Furthermore, I had just conducted an undercover operation as a major drug trafficker who had smuggled ten tons of cocaine into the US. It was very easy for them to find a crime for me."

"Ugh……"

Ferrari sighed, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Now that you're in Mexico, you can completely change your mind and deny our agreement. Let's go back to Venezuela, and they won't be able to do anything to us."

Song Heping said, "Of course you can, but doing so means it will be difficult for us to find a breakthrough to enter the South American arms market in the future. I don't want to give up this piece of cake."

"Have you ever thought that if you continue like this, one day they will use you as a scapegoat whenever they need you?" Ferrari said.

Song Heping laughed and said, "I did have this worry, but then I suddenly realized it. I want Barlot's network and I want one-tenth of the profits, but I won't take the blame!"

Ferrari heard the hidden meaning in his words and asked hurriedly, "Do you have a plan?"

Song Heping said: "I never fight a battle that I am not sure of winning."

Ferrari said, "What are you going to do?"

Song Heping said: "They want to use me as a black glove, but I can also train my own black gloves. Let's set up a Russian nesting doll with them and see who can trick whom."

Ferrari said, "Russian dolls? What does that mean?"

Song Heping said, "This is why I called you here. When I took over Barlot's network, you started to develop a money laundering plan for me. You must ensure that one-tenth of the profits from the drug market can enter this network and be cleaned up, so that the Americans cannot track them."

"You mean, getting out of the dollar system's oversight?" Ferrari asked.

Song Heping said: "Of course, the money they give us will definitely be marked and tracked. I just want to escape their network. I don't care what method I use or how much the fee is, but I must clean it up."

"There's a way to completely ensure they can't be traced," Ferrari said. "They convert it into cash, like most Mexican drug traffickers do. The money comes from the CIA, and they're constantly monitoring it. The only way to get out is to convert it into cash, or trade it for physical goods, and then convert the physical goods into US dollars."

Song Heping said, "I'm an expert at fighting wars, and you're an expert at money laundering. You figure out how to do it. Anyway, I trust you to do it." "By the way, you haven't told me your response plan yet."

"Money laundering is only one aspect. Making sure the money can't be traced or confiscated is crucial. As for distancing yourself from the company, that's easy enough. I said I'd give Kelly a Russian nesting doll, and it's already in the company."

He picked up a document beside him and handed it to Ferrari.

Ferrari took it and looked at it, then was stunned for a moment.

"Barrett?"

"Well, in the future, all business in Mexico will be handed over to him and he will be the front desk."

Song Heping said, "Remember, he's now asking to join our company, and I've agreed. However, you're in charge of administration and finance. All his commissions, dividends, and compensation, and all other financial transactions, cannot go through the company's accounts. They must have nothing to do with us. I want you to prepare an account so that people will see it and conclude that Barrett is the new king of Mexico's underground smuggling network. Do you understand me?"

Ferrari was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Is he your nesting doll?"

Song Heping said, "Yes, he once served in the US military and was also an undercover agent and agent in the DEA. I can guarantee that he has a lot of connections with the CIA. Before my undercover operation, it was Kelly who recommended me to find him, saying that he was very familiar with everything in Mexico. When I went to find Barrett, he looked like a retired agent. He said that because his brothers who went undercover with him back then had an accident, he was disheartened and hid himself to avoid being hunted by Shorty and his men. But I have some doubts about this matter. It's too coincidental. There's no reason for someone to send a pillow when you fall asleep..."

He reached into the bag beside his seat and pulled out another document and handed it to Ferrari.

"I had Henry pay for an investigation, and we found that things weren't that simple. Barrett's undercover identity in Mexico wasn't exposed simply by gang members, as their report later claimed. While there's no definitive evidence, one analysis report suggested that this might have involved some internal conflict between the DEA and the CIA."

"Both the CIA and the DEA have black hands in Mexico. As the powerful agency responsible for drug enforcement, the DEA also has overseas deployment authority. Therefore, they also control a portion of the Mexican drug market share. If Barrett was a DEA undercover agent back then, and was bribed by the CIA and deliberately exposed, allowing the Sinaloa and other five major cartels to unite and eliminate his undercover network, who would benefit the most? I mean, besides the five major cartels, who else would benefit?"

Ferrari was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, "CIA!"

Song Heping said, "Mexico is the most important channel for South American drugs to enter the United States. The CIA originally controlled only 30% of the market share, but after that incident, their share increased to 15%. This intelligence report clearly states that whoever benefits is the most suspicious."

"The most interesting thing is that after that incident, the US sent a drug enforcement commissioner to put pressure on Mexico to crack down on the drug cartels. In the end, the five major cartels responsible for the crime didn't suffer much of a blow. Instead, the smaller, more guerrilla groups were completely wiped out... In other words, in the end, all that business fell into the hands of the five major cartels. Isn't that a bit of black humor?"

Ferrari flipped through the intelligence document and became more and more frightened. His eyeballs bulged out two inches and were about to fall to the ground.

"FUCK! It's a fucking trap!"

He sighed.

Song Heping said, "They're all old foxes, a thousand years old. If I'm not mistaken, Barrett is a thorn the CIA wants to drive into our company. In that case, I'll just go with the flow and let him in. I'll let him take the blame. If something really goes wrong in the future, everything about him, including his military background, DEA background, and connections to the CIA, will be made public as a shield for me. Then I'll have the media hype this up. Kelly and the others will probably be lucky enough to protect themselves. Will they even be able to care about me?"

Ferrari couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "High!"

Then he asked again: "Who are we going to see in prison today?"

"Shorty, and Barlotte," Song Heping said, "What do you think is the best way to obtain their resources and take over the business and territory in Mexico?"

Ferrari's eyes lit up: "Let them cooperate?!"

Soon, he frowned again: "But... you just caught them, they want to tear you apart alive, will they cooperate with you?!"

"The best strategy is to attack their strategy." Song Heping looked at Ferrari and smiled. "I'll make them an offer they can't refuse."
