Author's words: Recently, there has been something at home, and it is a big event and not a good thing, so it will be a little slower with the new meeting, but you will not be a eunuch, please rest assured.

"Why not? I'm now sent by the guerrillas to trade with them. I'm carrying the real thing, too, so why should they say no? John said to everyone, "Hurry up and clean up, ten minutes." Ten minutes later everyone came to meet me. ”

Ten minutes later, everyone gathered again. John glanced around and said, "Now we're going to play the guerrillas and trade with the Mexicans to get that batch of arms back." But I'm not going to get the Mexicans to actually bring these things back, so I want them to stay at the trading place forever. ”

"What are we going to do?" Códoba doesn't seem to care as long as it can fight the guerrillas.

John nodded, took out a notebook and a pen from his bag, and flipped through the folded pages, "The place of the transaction is a port on the river that leads to Venezuela. The Mexicans would take the cargo away by boat. ”

We looked at John's notebook, which had a sketch of the plan of the port. John pointed to a spot on the riverbank and said, "This is the place of trading, close to the river." The Gypsies and Pinto, the two of you are responsible for taking out the people on the ships in the harbor. ”

"Wait." I asked, "How many boats will they have?" ”

"Three boats. All you have to do is block one and attack the other two in the middle of a firefight. By the way, I forgot to tell you, one of them should have a heavy machine gun on it. John said and smiled.

I immediately understood what John meant, he wanted us to control this machine gun, to control it not only to make us safer, but also to suppress and mass-kill the Mexicans.

"Understood." I nodded.

John saw me nodding and looked at the others and said, "I'm going to trade with Cordoba." Córdoba you bring weapons. The rest of the people, except for the driver, the rest were all in the last car. There should be scattered Mexican armed men standing around the convoy, and you have to watch when you are in the car, and as soon as the gypsies attack and they fire their guns, jump out of the car and fire at all the Mexicans around you, whether they are armed or empty-handed, until we have complete control of the situation. Gypsy and Pinto, you two have to prioritize attacking high-threat targets, such as those who are ready to counterattack. Pinto, in particular, you must remember that. John glanced around the group, "Is there any problem?" ”

"Isn't it a bit risky? I mean, this kind of trade is not going to be so easy for Mexicans. I asked.

John laughed, "Don't worry too much. The deal between them is not once or twice, and although the two parties will not be like brothers, they will not be so wary either, because anything that is out of the ordinary is not in their interest. To put it simply, they are not doing small business and will not be like a gambler. As long as we are clean, they will be taken care of in no time. In short, the stakes of this thing are not higher than those you have done before. ”

"Okay. Hopefully, the Mexicans won't be surprised by the people they know who came to trade with him. I said helplessly.

After I finished, Códoba pointed to John's notebook and said, "How many Mexicans are there?" ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to say next." John pointed to the sketch in his notebook, "Our convoy will most likely be guided to stop in the harbor near their ship, and the intelligence says that their transactions have been like this before, and this time should be no exception." Then they will unload the goods truck by truck, load them onto the ship after inspection. Then the guerrillas loaded their wantings into trucks and came out. According to the intelligence, the Mexicans were about 20 to 30 men at a time, most of them armed men, and a small number of coolies who were specially responsible for carrying and working. Most armed men will be standing at the back and on both sides of the convoy, so be sure to pay attention to people in these directions when you move, and if you are close to the port, the gypsies will look at you. As he spoke, John drew in his notebook the conformities and instructions that represented various things.

After everyone said there was no problem, they drove a few cars to the river, wiped the blood stains, and removed the windshield that had been damaged by the bullets. After looking about the same, everyone got in the car and drove along the road by the river to the trading place.

In the evening, the convoy stopped to prepare for the night. But I didn't have a chance to rest, because when the convoy stopped, John took me aside and said to us, "We'll have to go and see where tomorrow's trade is going by night, and then you and Pinto stay and hide and wait for us to arrive." ”

"How far do we have to go?" I asked.

John smiled and said, "Who said we walked over?" Grab a bite to eat, take a break, and in a moment the three of us and Cordoba will continue to drive on the road. Wait until you are near the trading place and then change to walking. ”

So I had a quick bite to eat, and when it was completely dark, John summoned both Córdoba and Pinto. The four of us got into a truck, and John drove along the road. Not long after the car left, I was ready to go to bed with my gun in my hand, because when I got out of the car, I probably wouldn't have a chance to sleep that night. Pinto and Córdoba were chatting in Spanish without saying a word, and I fell asleep in a daze.

After about three or four hours, the car stopped. When I woke up, Córdoba and Pinto, who I had been talking to, were also asleep. John called the two of them up. I got out of the car first, it was pitch black outside, probably not far from the place of trading, and the lights were turned off to conceal it. But the weather was nice today, and a big moon was in the sky, and by the light of the moon we could see that we were on the edge of a river.

"Bring everything with you. We walked along the river, and in about half an hour we could see the port where the transaction was conducted. John said as he pointed to the north.

After we had sorted out our things and found some branches to cover up the car that had been driving into the woods, John led us on the road.

After more than half an hour, I saw a bright light in the distance, which should be the port. But it was as if the lights were on the other side of the river and not on our side.

We slowed down, paying attention to the movement around us and slowly moved towards the harbor. It was late at night, but there were still voices of people talking from time to time in the harbor, and as we got closer, we could see some of the boats swaying. On our side, there are a lot of dilapidated and scrapped hulls, a lot of rubbish and the wreckage of some houses. John led us to a stop next to a boat that had overturned on its side on the shore, apparently preparing to use it as cover to observe the opposite side.

Sure enough, John stopped, took out a telescope from his backpack, looked at the other side, turned his head and whispered, "This is it." Our trading location is on the opposite side. And the Mexicans had already arrived early, knowing that they wouldn't have to come first. He handed me the binoculars and said, "At two o'clock, the ship is still lit." ”

I heard him say this, lifted the guard and put down the gun, turned around and took the binoculars and looked towards two o'clock. Although the light is not very clear, I can still see the boat that John asked me to see.

The ship was not very large, it was the kind of ship commonly used to haul cargo, and the special thing was that it had a cockpit above the hull and a black shadow on the foredeck, which should be the heavy machine gun John was talking about. There were a few boats parked in front of and behind the ship, but it was unknown if they were its companions, and it was impossible to see if the other ships also had heavy machine guns.

"How's that? Pinto, you can come and have a look, too. John said.

I nodded, "See." I replied and handed the telescope to Pinto.

"How are you going to control that ship?" John asked me in a low voice.

I glanced at the river, "When are you going to get here?" ”

"It's about seven or eight o'clock tomorrow morning." John replied.

"It's best to arrive before dawn. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to touch the boat. I pointed to the surface of the river and said, "The fact that this can be used as a port means that the river will not be very fast, the river is about two hundred meters wide, and I am going to swim over it before dawn, touch the boat, and clean up the people inside, but I can't do this too long before you arrive, and you should arrive first, and I will touch it again." I looked at John and waited for his reply.

He thought for a moment before he spoke, "If it is as you say, then I have to hurry back and set off with someone immediately." It dawns early here, and the sky turns white at about four or five o'clock. ”

"Does this early have an impact on the transaction?" I was a little worried because I didn't know anything about such a trade.

John smiled and said, "No." We came in a big car and on the agreed trading day, so they didn't have too many doubts. ”

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Half past four." John glanced at his watch, "I'll be on time, you can start five to ten minutes early." ”

"Understood." I nodded.

Seeing that I understood, John turned to look at the other side with Códoba and exchanged a few words from time to time. After about five minutes, John handed me the telescope and said, "Cordoba and I are going back." This one is left for you to look at the other side. ”

After I took the binoculars and put them in my bag, John looked at his watch and said, "Yes, it's eleven forty." ”

I looked at my watch and the time was consistent, "Eleven forty." ”

"Good. You guys stay safe here. With that, John walked back with Cordoba and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

After they had gone, I glanced at Pingto and sat down in a flat, dry place, ready to start the long wait. This period of time is the hardest, because when you can't sleep and have nothing to do, you will think cranky, and most of the cranky thoughts are thinking about the following actions, there will be all kinds of problems and accidents at the beginning, and whether you will die, and how you will die. Such a messy idea will make people feel scared, and the more they think about it, the more they are afraid, and the more they are afraid, the more they think.
