America: Starting with Daily Intelligence

Allen Zhang: Have they leaked any news?

Jennifer: It seems the mayor's wife and daughter have been kidnapped. They've been missing since last evening, and their people have already started a massive search, even getting the California DEA involved. But so far, there have been no results. The drug trafficking groups have also taken the initiative to contact them, demanding that they grant some permissions for drug trafficking operations and transport the previously seized drugs to a specified location to repay them.

Allen Zhang: Are these drug dealers so arrogant?

I guess this is just like Mexico.

The Tijuana Resistance Army is also quite tough. Apart from purchasing American equipment from Thunder Fire Armored Kingdom, they've successfully connected with the DEA and got their support. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to take down the drug traffickers.

When things weren't settled before, you called me Resistance Army, Guerrillas, I didn't care. Now I've transformed into a regular army. A good part of the Tijuana Government is my people. What should you call me now?

They are quite tough, but unfortunately, the drug trafficking groups are even tougher. They have backers too.

The Tijuana officials have the support of the United States DEA backing them up, cooperating with them to combat drug traffickers. But the drug trafficking groups have the CIA behind them.

Since the last century, the CIA and DEA have been at odds with each other, fighting openly and secretly, like dogs at each other's throats.

After all, one supports drug trafficking, their main business being drug dealing worldwide. The other strictly prohibits drug trafficking, their main business being, if not catching drug traffickers domestically, is to fly to Mexico or Colombia to catch drug traffickers. Many drug trafficking groups, such as Medellin, Cali, etc., have been taken down by the DEA.

This also significantly impacts the CIA's revenue, causing dissatisfaction among the Deep Government's financial backers.

These two departments are from different systems, fundamentally at odds with each other. The CIA has more than once backstabbed their colleagues and betrayed DEA's undercover informants within the drug trafficking groups. DEA catches people just for the CIA to release them later, exasperating the DEA, who wish they could just take an M4 and gun down these corporate-serving dog agents in the streets!

Political competition is inherently complex.

Fight, let them fight! The hotter, the better! I want to see blood flow like rivers!

Allen Zhang: Tell the Tijuana officials that as our partners, I can help them look into related information domestically. Of course, I can't guarantee that they'll get any valid leads, but it's definitely better than them working alone.

The DEA may be terrifyingly strong, but their influence in California is certainly no match for the CIA's. After all, the CIA has corporate support, and even if the Tijuana officials want to pursue cross-border cases, they would be out of reach.

Both departments have mediocre reputations on the West Coast. But at least the DEA is sincerely helping citizens with their drug addiction, something most people wouldn't know about. The CIA and FBI, on the other hand, are purely abhorrent.

Eastern Depot's dogs, biting indiscriminately; who wouldn't hate that?

Jennifer: Ok, I've informed the Tijuana officials, and they have gladly accepted your help. They appreciate your support and will contact the DEA to get in touch with you as soon as they obtain relevant clues.

Allen Zhang: A friend of a friend is a friend. Anyway, I'm not dealing drugs, so I would love nothing more than for the DEA to take out the CIA domestically.

Let the DEA grab the CIA by the collar and kill them ruthlessly.

After settling the deal with Tijuana, Allen Zhang also logged onto Opportunity Network to look up the official account of General Electric Power Shipyard and took the initiative to contact them.

Thunder Fire Armored Kingdom: Hello, do you happen to have 6 retired Independence-class Coastal Combat Ships and 2 Spruance-class Retired Destroyers for sale?

General Dynamics Shipyard: Hello, we do have the aforementioned destroyers and coastal combat ships for sale. Are you looking to purchase as an individual or on behalf of a military equipment company?

Thunder Fire Armored Kingdom: Our Armed Nation is considering purchasing such products soon. Can we visit the site for inspection?

General Dynamics Shipyard: Given your Armed Nation's high qualifications, we can engage in related transactions. You can fill out the form online to make an appointment and visit our California shipyard dock for a tour. One of our staff will also receive you then. Currently, five military equipment companies and six three-star qualified Armed Nations have made appointments. If you arrive early, you might still have to wait in line to visit.

Thunder Fire Armored Kingdom: Ok.

With the support of Colonel Wood, Thunder Fire Armored Kingdom's ranking in the military qualification rating also reached a three-star qualification, allowing them to trade in some restricted lethal weapons.

Having connections makes everything easier.

General Dynamics Shipyard also sent over the electronic forms, and Allen Zhang dutifully filled out the application and even listed Sieg as the responsible person.

After all, he is the General Sect Leader's scapegoat of choice; it wouldn't do without him.

After filling out the form and resting in the villa for a while, Sieg also woke up from his sleep, came out, and saw the General Sect Leader chatting and laughing with a stunningly hot woman, and was a bit dumbfounded.
