Gale

After this time, we will only have enemies around us, no friends.

After returning to Mengka, Chen Chen sat on the sofa at the base of the Dongfeng Corps and said with a heavy face:

If the goods are not burned, there is still room for change, but now, our attitude has been clearly shown.

Next, all our allies will start to have doubts about us.

The Seventh Brigade, Wanfeng Group, Bao Family, He Bangxiong, even Chaisili, Jackal.

We no longer have emotional ties, we will not have friendship with anyone, all we have is a connection with a community of interests.

And when the benefits dissipate, that's when we turn against each other.

Who is not involved in drugs in northern Myanmar? The Seventh Brigade is not involved, but he relies on the business of drug dealers to obtain so-called 'tax revenue'; the Wa State is not involved? The Bao family themselves have been drug kings; needless to say, Wanfeng Group, Their business is built on the foundation of drug networks.

As for He Bangxiong and Chaisili, no matter how clean we are in the land of northern Myanmar, we are just fishing in the sludge of drug crimes.

It seems that it doesn't stick to the mud, but the fish on your hook was hooked by people in the mud.

Speaking of this, Chen Chen paused for a few seconds.

He looked at the people sitting next to him with equally solemn expressions and sighed softly.

We are the same, we are not much different from them.

But, what we do is not fishing.

“It’s about scooping up the silt, draining the nutrients, and keeping it all to yourself.”

Then maybe, the water here will clear up and real food will grow.

It's also possible that there will be new silt coming in.

We didn't know what was going to happen - we just wanted to do some 'fishing for the best' hooks.

I must state that we are not noble, we are pursuing interests, but the violent and direct means we used may have brought about some results that are in line with universal values.

However, no one can guarantee whether the result will be good or bad.

“Many more people will die because of us than live because of us.”

We're going to have to carry a lot of notoriety and limited recognition.

No one will become a hero. Even if we die in battle, we will not get any honor.

Because we are just mercenaries, it is our fate not to be recognized.

So, if we are doing these things, are you still willing to continue?

If you want to leave, everyone can split the money immediately.

You have all made a lot of money, enough to live on for the rest of your life.

I only have one request - take the money, leave northern Myanmar, and stop getting involved in my affairs.

Now, how do you choose?

After Chen Chen finished speaking, all five people present fell into silence.

Bai Gou looked at Chen Chen blankly, seemingly not expecting that he could actually participate in such a high-level conversation.

Shi Dakai frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Bang looked indifferent, as if he didn't listen at all, but fell asleep.

Bao Qi looked excited, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Only Lin He was extremely determined, probably because he had already thought clearly about the big things he wanted to do.

After a long time, it was Shi Dakai who broke the silence first.

He opened his mouth and said:

Thinking about it carefully, I feel that no matter how much you say, our situation will not get any worse.

Who should I fight? The risk is there. Even if Chen Yimin is dead, being a warlord may not be safe.

As for how easy it is to leave northern Myanmar, I don't want to leave either.

So, I have no problem with that.

I have bad luck, so I am always cautious, but this time I think I can do something big.

For me, the only safe situation is one where there are no enemies.

But the enemy will not disappear on its own, it can only be destroyed.

In this case, it's better to do it faster.

A standard pessimist's extreme code of conduct.

Everyone can kill me, so I choose to kill them all first.

This is Shi Dakai's idea.

Very reasonable and very believable.

Chen Chen nodded and looked at Bao Qi, who was eager to try.

The latter noticed his look and immediately said:

I want to do big things! My father will definitely support me in doing big things! If I want to do it, I will do it to the end!

Brother Chen, I'll do it with you! I will never regret it!

You don't need to explain so much, I understand what you mean!

Chen Chen shook his head helplessly.

What do you understand?

But he didn't plan to say more. After all, sometimes, thinking that he understood it was also a kind of understanding.

So, he looked at Li Gang again.

Li Bang was stunned and replied:

I'll do whatever you say.

.OK.

Chen Chen had long expected that Li Bang might answer like this, but when he actually said it, he still couldn't hold himself tight.

Next, there is Linhe.

He didn't speak, just looked at Chen Chen and nodded.

Everyone has taken a stand, except for one white dog.

The white dog smiled and replied:

I understand better than Bao Qi.

I know.

Captain, believe me, I'm very smart.

I saw everything he didn't see.

Leading a team and becoming a mercenary is just like licking blood. If I follow you around, maybe I can still have some fun. I really understand!

Chen Chen rolled his eyes. He probably guessed what Bai Gou believed in.

However, he did not refute.

Because he knew that he was now just like the legendary Wallfacer, no matter what he said, it would be regarded as some kind of strategy.

Then just don't say it.

As a result, the core members of the Dongfeng Corps, each with different thoughts and ideas, reached an agreement in a wonderful way.

Chen Chen looked around, finally nodded, and then said:

In this case, our positioning and future plans are basically clear.

Next we will face many conflicts, many challenges, and we may be walking on a tightrope every day.

But we must go through it, and we will definitely go through it.

In short, if we persevere, victory will eventually belong to us.

clear!

Everyone answered at once.

This brief but important zz ideological construction meeting ended quickly.

Chen Chen was quite satisfied with the result. Except for Bai Gou, who had a certain tendency towards opportunism, all the other four people were credible.

——

Of course, even a white dog is highly credible in the short term.

At least, he has the basic requirements for entering the core layer, that is, a high degree of consistency of interests.

Even if one day the interests are really inconsistent, Chen Chen will be able to get the signal before him, and his dealings with him will be predictable, so there is no need to worry at all.

Based on this principle, Chen Chen felt that there was no need to hide some things from him anymore.

Visiting relatives requires relatively trustworthy people to participate, and White Dog is a good choice.

So, he looked at Shi Dakai and others and asked:

Do you agree to let Bai Gou and Lin He participate in our affairs?

Shi Dakai nodded first.

Agree - it's impossible to hide it from them anyway, unless we kill them now.

Bai Gou shuddered and immediately said:

Don't say such things, I am loyal to the leader!

I'm just giving you an example, I don't really want to kill you.

Shi Dakai quickly explained, and Bai Gou waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.

Immediately afterwards, Li Bang and Bao Qi also expressed their opinions, and the matter of releasing information was unanimously approved.

In the next few minutes, Chen Chen introduced the origins of several of his people. Bai Gou was not surprised at all and didn't even ask a question.

He just listened silently, and after Chen Chen introduced his origins and future plans, he took the initiative to ask about the details of the mission.

.So this family visit mission can only be completed by our core members, right?

In terms of manpower, we are seriously lacking - a full attack of five people, but there are 10 targets to be evacuated.

It's obvious that we can't carry out large-scale operations. We can only sneak in and sneak out, and we must be fast.

It's very difficult to handle.

It doesn't matter. We can discuss the specific details later. It's not time to make detailed plans yet.

clear.

Bai Gou nodded slightly and said no more.

At this time, it was already 10 o'clock at night. After a few brief explanations and emphasizing the principle of confidentiality, everyone left to rest.

But when Chen Chen walked alone outside the villa to enjoy the breeze, Shi Dakai followed him.

And the first words he spoke made Chen Chen look at him with admiration again.

He said:

Captain, I think what you talked about today is very good, but it is limited to a few of us.

This must not be done to other members of the Corps.

We can have common goals, but they can only be bound by interests.

Chen Chen nodded, and then asked with half surprise and half surprise:

How did you come up with that?

It's actually very simple. I can probably guess what you are thinking - we have made too much money in the short term, and you are worried that the team will break up.

“So, you have to confirm everyone’s ideas and eliminate the risk of instability in a timely manner.”

If it were me, I would definitely do the same thing.

However, I will do something more extreme - simply collect all the money and buy it all into equipment to eliminate the last risk.

After hearing his words, Chen Chen was silent for a few seconds, and then asked:

But it's precisely because I didn't do this that you would do it with me, right?

That's right.

Shi Dakai breathed a long sigh of relief.

That's why I want to remind you that you can do this to us, but not to others.

But I guess you must have thought of it a long time ago. My reminder is just to be safe.

Well, it's called applying the brakes.

Chen Chen added.

Yes, put on the brakes, very appropriate.

Shi Dakai smiled in relief, and then said sincerely:

To meet a leader like you in this life is really worth it.

.Don't act like you have to pledge yourself to me. It's disgusting. Thank you.

That little fish can do it, but I can't.

Hey, where did the gossip come from?

Chen Chen rolled his eyes and said:

I feel nothing but comradeship with her.

When you talk about her gossip, it's better to talk about Bao Xiaomei, Jiya and the like. Don't you think they are more enthusiastic about me?

Hearing this, Shi Dakai glanced at Chen Chen meaningfully and said with emotion:

If it had been when Kokang first came out and Wan Wano was defeated, I might have thought that these two were okay.

But now, that's all I can say.

Just the two of you, it's better not to touch the little porcelain fish.

After the political mission is completed, the next step is the serious combat mission.

Nearly six months have passed since they left Kokang in September 2009, and the foursome - or should I say the trio - have not received any information from their family members.

It is not convenient for Chen Chen to ask someone to inquire rashly, mainly because there is no suitable person who can be trusted enough.

If the identity of the deserter is accidentally exposed, although there will be very little direct threat, it is impossible for Guogan to send people to take the four people back, but the control of our side will be completely in the hands of others. .

Even if you want to admit that you have family members, you can only admit it after your family members are around and in the Green Zone.

Otherwise, everyone would be an orphan.

However, now, on the eve of action, Chen Chen felt that it was necessary to get a feel for the specific situation.

At least, it is necessary to confirm whether these people are still alive and how many are still alive.

Sitting in a special room in the villa that was designated as the combat command room, Chen Chen tapped on the blackboard and said:

Now our plan is mainly divided into three parts.

Part one, preliminary investigation.

Part Two, Operation Evacuation.

Part Three, Operation Cover.

In the early stage of reconnaissance, we must determine the number, location, and status of the target personnel.

During the evacuation operation, we must have a clear battle plan and action route.

The cover operation refers to the reasonable reason for us to leave Monkha and disappear from everyone's sight.

We won't discuss the last two for now. Do you have any ideas about the preliminary investigation?

After hearing Chen Chen's words, Bao Qi raised his hand first and said:

I think manual investigation is necessary. The situation in Kokang is too complicated. No matter what channels we obtain indirect intelligence from, it is basically impossible to obtain information with enough reference.

Someone must go there in person, walk through everything, and collect intelligence on the spot.

Among the six of us, only Lin He and Bai Gou can perform this task. I suggest Lin He go.

I also suggest Lin He go.

After Bao Qi finished speaking, Shi Dakai added:

Our operations require a high degree of confidentiality. Bai Gou is a relatively conspicuous person. It is best not to disappear casually without a legitimate reason.

And Lin He is more convenient - it can be said that he goes to participate in jungle training.

Chen Chen nodded, looked at Lin He who was sitting aside, and then asked:

What about you, what do you think?

Lin He hesitated for a moment, and then replied:

I'm not familiar with Guokang's situation. I definitely have to touch it slowly, that is, touch it slowly - if you don't ask too fast, I can do it!

15 days, okay?

The straight-line distance from Mengkha to Kokang Old Street is actually only 300 kilometers, but because it spans three spheres of influence, it is very difficult to cross.

Coupled with the poor road conditions, it would be good to arrive within three days. After that, Lin He would have to spend a certain amount of time getting familiar with the situation and conducting investigations. 15 days was still quite tight.

Lin He thought carefully for a few minutes, as if he had gone through the route in his mind, and then he answered:

12 days is enough, 15 days is enough, 3 days is enough to prevent accidents.

Then follow this plan. Shi Dakai, you will give Lin He a detailed mission briefing later, and we will continue to discuss the evacuation action plan now.
