Chapter 458: Rice Jar
How to say it, it's like a mouse falling into a rice jar.
The CIA's safe house in Dubai is luxurious, and the equipment inside is a treasure trove for anyone who makes a living at the mouth of a gun.
"This safe house was built during the Cold War. It was originally just an ordinary house bought by the CIA. As the confrontation with the KGB intensified, our original safe house was betrayed by the mole, and almost all the safe houses in Dubai were exposed. Only this one was not controlled by the KGB."
This is not a private house, but a mansion. There are even people living in this mansion, but the owner is an Arab-American agent.
So, when Gapero led Gao Guang and others through the garage, walked into the servant's room, opened a small door in the servant's room, and walked through a corridor with various weapons and ammunition on both walls, Gao Guang felt that he knew whether there would be any problems.
"So in 1974, the CIA urgently decided to use this place as a safe house, and also as the CIA's arsenal in Dubai."
In front of an iron door, Gapero paused, and entered a series of numbers into a combination lock, and then the tightly closed small door silently opened a gap.
Lloyd smiled and said, "Is it okay for us to visit?"
Gapero pushed the small door open directly and said, "Of course there is no problem. It is also my duty to check the safe house. Please."
It's not as cool as in the movie. Press a button and the wall will turn over, and then rows of various weapons will appear, allowing the protagonist to choose the right weapons.
It's not like that. The safe house that Gao Guang saw was not so cool, and there were not many security protections. There were only two doors and a combination lock, but after passing the combination lock, there was another world behind.
The movie was still petty after all.
Pistols and rifles filled two walls, which was a visual effect, but the real safe house, which was also the largest safe house in the Middle East, was really an arsenal.
The most common thing here is boxes, which are arranged in categories and neatly stacked with eye-catching labels. You can just pick up and go if you need something.
There are tool boxes, password boxes, ammunition boxes, first aid boxes, backpacks, briefcases, and sports bags, such as golf bags, guitar cases, violin cases, and cello cases.
Have you ever seen them? You don’t even know what kind of bags there are here. These bags are not classified according to their appearance, but according to the contents inside.
Any bag can be picked up and taken away. There are supplies needed for the mission. It is a very simple truth that since the safe house is used and the weapons stored in the safe house are used, it must be in an emergency. In an emergency, it is natural to pick it up and go. It can be used as soon as it is taken.
The row of boxes on the wall in the movie is just a visual effect. To do this in a real safe house, the agent must take the gun from the wall and throw it into the bag, then find the suitable bullets and throw them into the bag, and then carry a big bag and pick and choose weapons and load ammunition from it. This is nonsense.
So the weapons used in real emergencies are the ones in that corridor, the guns, the rocket launchers, all equipped with bullets, stored on the weapon rack in the corridor, and can be used as soon as you go in.
A little further in is this room with various suitcases and bags. The weapons here are for those agents who are pressed for time to take a bag they need and leave immediately.
Moreover, these bags are classified and stored by area. The signs clearly state, such as emergency combat bags, camouflage combat bags, and blasting bags.
Weapons are also divided into two categories, one is American series, and the other is Soviet/Russian series, which is very convenient for self-selection.
Gao Guang saw a large suitcase, which was classified into the personal combat bag. Although the suitcase is large, it is classified into the personal combat bag like some small bags. He said to Capello, "What's in here?"
"An M4, 900 rounds of bullets, 16 grenades, bulletproof vests, a pistol, and a bomb for self-destruction, these are the basic configurations."
Gao Guang pointed to a small waist bag on the shelf and said, "What about this?"
"Single-person emergency equipment, which contains a pistol, three magazines, $10,000 in cash, and a mobile phone."
Capello was like a host who brought people on a tour. He said casually, "The arms corridor outside and this room are for the most urgent situations. They are just basic configurations. If you really need personalized equipment, you still have to come here."
All the rooms are connected, without even a door. Capello walked into the room inside and said, "You can choose freely here."
It's still weapons, and they are not placed on the wall, because the utilization rate is too low.
Rows of weapon racks, classified by categories, are filled with various pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns, and rocket launchers, and there must be corresponding ammunition under the weapons. If you take the weapons and pull the bags, you can definitely use them.
Lloyd looked at one of the arsenals, which was about 100 square meters, with great interest. He asked casually, "How many guns are there here?"
"About 1,600 guns. This is the largest safe house in the entire Middle East, the largest weapons depot, and of course, the largest emergency response center."
Gao Guang felt that it seemed very dangerous to follow Gapero to such a secret place, but he didn't know why Gapero brought him here.
Lloyd felt the same way. He said to Gapero, "There should be other things here. Is it appropriate for us to come here?"
Gapero smiled and said, "I just took you to visit the firearms section. There are also special equipment here, which is for dealing with world wars. There are indeed many powerful things, but they are gone now. These things are too dangerous and have been transported away one after another, so the confidentiality level here has dropped a lot."
Gao Guang sighed softly and said, "Wow."
"It turns out that the KGB is very rampant. We must have enough means. Weapons of mass destruction are stored here, but now there is no threat, so these things must be transported away naturally, so don't worry. Although this place is big, it is just an ordinary It's just a safe house, but the gun models are very complete, and there are some rare weapons. "
Gapero smiled and said, "If you want to find Soviet light weapons, this is the most complete in the world, just like the American weapons are most complete in the Russian safe house. We have extremely rare APS underwater rifles and PB silent pistols handmade by Russians. It took a lot of effort to collect these back then. Oh, our poison room, and the Soviet umbrella gun back then, which can fire special poison bullets. "
Gao Guang knew that he could choose at least one gun here, and he agreed to go out and shoot a few shots, but now he was dazzled. He looked at the rows and rows of weapon racks and didn't know what to take.
What gun is the best, most expensive, and most scarce?
Also, there are many expensive sniper rifles equipped with the best scopes here. Isn't it a bit stupid to only pick a pistol?
It's good for a mouse to fall into a rice jar, but it's painful that it can't finish a jar of rice even if it dies.
Lloyd said bluntly: "Give me a 1911, I don't need anything else."
Gapero then looked at Gao Guang and said: "What kind of gun do you like?"
Gao Guang licked his lips and said hesitantly: "Anything is fine? Well, just borrowing it, it doesn't matter, right?"
Gapero smiled and said: "I still have the power to call for a gun and report the loss, so I suggest you choose a relatively rare gun that is not easy to buy outside."
Gao Guang looked at the sniper rifle, and then he whispered: "This sniper rifle."
Gapero shook his head and said: "All guns are registered. I can report a lost pistol, but I can't report a lost sniper rifle."
Gao Guang felt very sorry. He looked at the two rows of shelves full of pistols and sighed: "That one is good, I have to take a closer look."
