Chapter 986: Take off in the F-14

A full 7 tons of flour, even because of the reason of self-production and self-sale, is worth several million dollars.

And that's not even the biggest problem facing the Cali Group.

This batch of flour was shipped to the United States. Due to several cleaning operations by DEA some time ago, the value of the goods upon arrival was 70 million U.S. dollars.

The loss of such a large amount of money is not only uncomfortable for the leaders of Cali, but the subordinates will definitely have a lot of money in the future.

Moreover, the Cali Group does not have only one semi-submersible transport ship, and the other ships will definitely have to stop in the future.

Take the Medellin Group as an example. At its peak in the 1980s, Pablo, the head of the group, earned 420 million U.S. dollars a day from the United States.

Even if the Cali Group keeps a low profile, its market share is twice or ten times smaller than that of Medellin, and it will at least ship billions of dollars of flour to the United States every year.

Submersibles account for more than 60% of the transportation volume.

Now this kind of transport route that was extremely hidden in the past has been exposed. In the next one or two months, basically no one dares to drive this kind of ship and sail to the United States again.

As a result, Li Group's revenue will be reduced by 60, 70%, or even more.

Also, as soon as the news of the submarine comes out, Mexico, Medellin and other small and medium-sized traders will 100% learn from this method.

At that time, with the more favorable terrain in Mexico and Medellin, for example, it will be able to steal a large part of the market from other flour merchants.

As a last resort, the members of the Cali Group frantically offered huge rewards, wanting to know the details of the DEA's joint operation with the US Navy.

And why was the submersible found.

Then, since others would rob their own ideas and business, the Cali Group simply began to care about the delivery routes of Medellin and Mexican merchants.

Moreover, it has to increase the transportation volume of ships on the road and at sea.

As a result, conflicts between Cali, Medellin, Mexico, and other small and medium-sized traders will inevitably erupt at some point in the future.

But Li Changheng didn't want to give Cali too much time.

I don't want to waste too much energy and time on this matter.

After the DEA obtained the qualifications to form air and sea patrols, according to Li Changheng's instructions, its black hands quickly reached into the Coast Guard and shore-based radar agencies.

The CIA does have sufficient capabilities to allow shore-based radar observers to consciously avoid scanning in a specific direction for a certain period of time on the grounds of secret missions.

Or even if they saw it, some supervisors would prevent people from recording Barry Hill's flight records on the grounds that he had already applied for the route.

But with the emergence of the DEA, things quickly changed.

Of course, Li Changheng didn't really want to destroy the secret operation of the United States to transport weapons to South America.

But keep an eye on Barry Hill's flour return route, and send a DEA early warning aircraft to wait in that area.

In the name of discovery by the shore-based radar, the early warning aircraft could easily scan the plane piloted by Barry and another pilot.

The early warning aircraft will definitely not go after these two planes in person.

Moreover, the DEA concealed it with the psychology of hoping to get the credit, and temporarily did not report to other departments or request the support of the aircraft, which can be explained afterwards.

Therefore, according to the script that Lee Jang Hyung acted a little bit, and to avoid leaking secrets from all the members of the Navy's retired early warning aircraft who had just become DEA agents.

When the early warning aircraft detected the two planes of Barry Hill for the first time, the plane sent by the DEA did not intercept the two planes because of the distance from the base and the speed of the plane itself.

When this matter was reported, Trenches and Robert Rich, who had known everything for a long time, shook their heads with a smile, and then reported it to Li Changheng.

While in Virginia, Li Changheng, who has received personal training from an ace test pilot and has been flying the F14 Tomcat fighter jet for more than ten days, smiled and asked the two to deal with it according to the normal procedure, and then continued to study with peace of mind.

Ever since he saw the F14 Tomcat test flight for the first time in 1970, Li Changheng has been thinking about driving the F14 himself.

At that time, because I was worried that the F14 was not mature enough and would be dangerous, I never actually got on the plane, but more than 3 years have passed, from the prototype to the A model, and then to the current B model.

Except for a prototype of the F14 that year and a model A that crashed at the test flight base, there have been no more accidents.

Compared with F4 and future F15 and F16, this probability is already much smaller.

So as soon as Li Changheng found an opportunity to convince himself, he couldn't bear the idea of ​​flying a big cat into the sky any longer.

Another week passed without knowing it, and Li Changheng, who had driven the big cat in the base and lifted off 5 times, was waiting quietly in the base.

At around 11 o'clock in the evening, the piercing ringing woke up Li Changheng who was waiting with his eyes closed.

Quickly putting on a full set of pilot equipment, Li Changheng and the ace test pilot who taught him boarded an F14 fighter jet that had undergone a complete inspection today.

I went directly to the main pilot's position, and the test pilot sat in the communicator's position, in case Li Changheng had any operational problems, he took over the plane immediately.

Li Changheng, who has already flown five times, is actually not nervous.

And he knew very well that this mission was doomed to fail according to his plan.

But this matter can only be kept in my heart.

However, if the F14 fighter jets force two small propeller planes to fail, probably no one will believe it.

"Tower, tower, this is Falcon, this is Falcon, request takeoff, repeat, request takeoff."

After getting a reply from the control tower agreeing to take off.

Li Changheng smiled and drove the F14 into the air very smoothly.

After the plane rose to a sufficient altitude, I spoke to the test pilot behind on the communication channel.

In the air outside the plane, there was a "bang", and an air mass that broke through the speed of sound appeared, and flew towards Mississippi in the south at supersonic speed in an instant.

In the waters around 60 nautical miles off the coast of New Orleans, Barry Hill and another cargo plane are slowly approaching the southern coastline of the United States in a tandem-following pattern.

And Barry Hill, who didn't know that he had been targeted for a long time, was chatting non-stop with his companion with earphones~lightnovelpub.net~ The chat between the two is basically inseparable from the stimulation own topic.

In order to avoid fatigue and accidentally hit the sea several meters below.

"Barry, after landing, shall we recruit a few more people?"

Hearing this, Barry's heart tightened, and he became fully awake in an instant.

Of course, it is impossible to give him 600,000 US dollars for the pilot he recruited. After all, if he really pays this price, he will not earn a dime, and he will bear double the risk of leaking.

Of course, giving too little money may make it easier to leak secrets.

Fortunately, Barry himself was responsible for collecting the money, so while the reward of 100,000 US dollars per trip satisfied the pilots he recruited, he thought that the life of his friends seemed to be not so good.

Just when Barry was hesitating, a huge roar suddenly came from far to near.
