Lao Zhou said later, "These two groups of stragglers are the greatest threat to our fleet. Both the Siamese government and the army could do nothing about them and watched them behave in a reckless manner. Before they robbed at night, Longji commanded the fleet, and fought with them once, and there were casualties on each other. Sister Xu ordered that she should not enter the land to attack, let alone enter the barracks to attack. As long as they dare to attack the fleet, they will defend themselves with their hands and feet. Be reasonable, beneficial, and responsible......"

Before Lao Zhou finished speaking, Lin Tao complained dissatisfiedly, "Women are in power, and there is no good." I was so surprised that I could only fight back when someone came to the door. Moreover, it is not yet possible to chase to the shore, inexplicably. Dare to love that ridiculous ostrich, maybe it's also the mother's ......"

Yu Songyuan glared, and Lin Tao realized that he would lose a lot of words, and immediately swallowed a bunch of dissatisfaction behind. After all, Xu Tianyi is a big man who supports the blue sky, and it is okay to complain about her behind her back, and it is a bit unscientific and even not authentic for her subordinates to hurt her like this.

But there were many people on the boat, and Yu Song was far from having time to explain to him. Lin Tao was full of complaints, mainly because he didn't know more about the inside story. On the morning of the send-off ceremony, Xu Tianyi and Yingya summoned Yu Songyuan separately in Xu Tianyi's office and bedroom. Xu Tianyi barely slept all night, but two beautiful women were grooming.

At this moment, Yingya was carefully helping Xu Tianyi to coil his hair, and asked with a smile, "You are not allowed to enter Siam to clear out the bandits, you all have opinions, right?" ”

"Since it's discipline, we just enforce it." Yu Songyuan knew that she summoned him alone so cautiously, there must be important things to explain alone, so he said indifferently.

"Bluewatercompany, have you heard of it?" Yingya asked casually.

Of course, like baldeagle, it is an outsourcing company commissioned by the State Department, the Ministry of Defense, or the CIA of country M, and it is essentially a private mercenary company. That is, a desirable dog of the government of country M, in Peshawar, West Asia, the Condor company was wiped out by the CIA, and the scene was very bloody. ”

"Private contracting military companies are one of the important tools for country M to project its military strength and protect its national security interests, and it is also an important way for the Ministry of Defense and the CIA to enhance their military strength and autonomous combat capabilities. The Condor Company in West Asia, while the Blue Water Company is a private outsourcing company supported by the CIA after the withdrawal of the M Army from Indochina. ”

"Sister Yingya, do you want to say that it was this Bluewater Company that attacked Naga's headquarters in Siam? Behind Blue Water is the CIA? Yu Songyuan handed her a small comb and asked in surprise.

Xu Tianyi said, "The situation in the Khmer is critical, and it is difficult for the people and Cambodia to support it alone. In order to crush Annan's attempt to annex the Khmer, the international community had to support Minkhman. However, the people of Cambodia held high the banner of anti-imperialist and anti-colonialism, and the people of country M could not tolerate it. On the surface, country M and China have common interests in Khmer and seem to be in harmony, but we have major differences in dealing with the people of Cambodia. ”

"So the CIA attacked my Naga headquarters with the help of a private contracting company?!" Yu Songyuan asked angrily.

"It's a little bit more complicated, and I don't think the CIA is going to dictate Bluewater to do that. Bluewater's main owner is the CIA, which, unlike the Condor, contracts mainly for the CIA's military projects. After the defeat in the Vietnam War, the M Army withdrew from Indochina, and the CIA also withdrew its operational troops. However, the 'White Star Guerrillas' organized by the CIA still persist in their activities in the primeval forests of northern Lancang. Xu Tianyi said.

"Where is the 'White Star' now? Is there any definite intelligence? ”

"Nope. According to reliable information, the maintenance and operation of the 'White Star Guerrillas' has been fully contracted by the CIA to Bluewater. Naga developed into Lancang, marched into the primeval rainforest resources, and created a development model, which endangered the survival of the 'White Star'! The attack on the Naga headquarters was killing three birds with one stone. ”

"Draw our attention to Siam, undermine my support for the Kamphan Khamen, and relieve the pressure on the 'White Star'?" Yu Songyuan blurted out.

"Not bad. The dark power of the Blue Water Company attacked the Naga Company, which is exactly this purpose! Xu Tianyi gritted his teeth and said, "When you enter Cologne, you will inevitably have friction with Siamese soldiers and bandits on the way, and you must pay attention to the fact that behind these soldiers and bandits is the Blue Water Company." They will not show mercy to Naga's fleet. ”

"I understand, you don't let us enter Siam to clear the territory, not only to prevent Bluewater from taking the opportunity to damage my diplomatic relations with Siam, but also for our security!" Yu Songyuan suddenly realized.

"Bluewater has hired a lot of specially trained soldiers in Indochina, they are very combative, your primary direction of struggle is Annam, is to reduce the pressure on our border, reduce the cost and sacrifice of my border struggle, you can't delay too much time in the Mekong, understand?"

"I understand, eldest sister, I will deal with it on the fly according to the situation on the battlefield!" Yu Songyuan nodded. But as soon as Xu Tian heard the words "temporary disposal", his brows still wrinkled.

At this time, after Lin Tao complained for a while, a gunshot suddenly "banged" on the shore, startling everyone, and the big boat had slowly stopped. The man on the boat next to him had a loud conversation with Longji, and after a while, the boat opened again. Lao Zhou translated, "The people on the shore called 'Boss Long made a fortune, and the brothers followed to drink soup!'" Ryuji said, 'Let's get rich together!' These people know the rules, take the money and leave! ”

Sure enough, after a while, the fleet was stopped again, and the money was given before it was released.

Several large cargo ships went down the river, and the speed was full of speed, which could have a speed of about ten knots, but they were constantly harassed, and they stopped and stopped all the way, from Beishan to Banbang Kuang, and walked for a whole day. In the evening, Longji decided to camp in the river near the bank on the left side, about a dozen kilometers away from the town of Banbang Kuang.

The water here is wider, the current is gentle, the shallows on both sides are longer, the reeds are dense, the aquatic plants are abundant, there are a large number of crocodiles underwater, and the camping is relatively safe. But there are more mosquitoes and all kinds of flying insects on the water here, and they are even more powerful, buzzing and screaming, and the ears are full of the sound of their flight.

Long Ji issued a warning order to the entire fleet, and Lao Zhou arranged two groups of mobile sentinels, each with four people.

"Captain Yu, we can't go to the village in front of you, and we can't go to the store in the back, but we can only camp here. There were countless bandits along the way, and it was not safe to sail at night. But this place is a bandit den in Siam and Lancang, you see......" Long Ji said to Yu Songyuan.

"Brother Long, knowing that Ludao is a bandit's den, you could have camped somewhere else earlier? I think you did it on purpose! Lin Tao said a word, and Long Ji was speechless, "Mei Xue and Su Ji, but they are all your sister-in-law, your brother-in-law...... If I'm not mistaken, this is Xu Tianyi's idea again, right? ”

Long Ji was speechless, and Lao Zhou was also nervous, arranging his team of shipwrights to strengthen the defense. Mei Xue and Su Ji followed closely behind Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao, and the entire fleet was shrouded in an atmosphere of panic.

Yu Songyuan was like a mirror in his heart, Xu Tianyi really played chess differently from others. She not only stipulated that she was not allowed to enter Siam to attack, but also asked Long Ji to camp the fleet in a place where bandits were often frequented, which clearly wanted Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao to defeat these bandits and complete their work on this journey.

The scheming is really meticulous enough, needless to say, how to deal with Blue Water and "White Star", this omnipotent young female "devil" must have long been confident.

Long Ji circled around the two of them like a spinning top, and Yu Songyuan observed the surrounding terrain and reassured him. He whispered, "Brother Long, you are the boss of the fleet, others can be afraid, but you can't." You can rest assured, we know it! ”

The boatmen were trembling when they were eating, and Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao saw that Lao Zhou had taken strict precautions, and they couldn't intervene. The two of them spun around a few boats, washed up, got into a mosquito net, lay down, and soon fell into a deep sleep. The two girls were so worried that they chatted on the deck for a while, and then went to sleep.

Although Yu Songyuan reassured everyone, Long Ji's heart still hung in his throat. He didn't dare to sleep at all, and sat in the bridge with a gun, smoking cigarette after cigarette. He thought all night, if Liu Guodong and Lin Zhumin were the two killing gods, how good it would be!

At one or two o'clock in the night, the sound of panicked walking on the deck woke Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao from their sleep. They took out their weapons from under the deck, and saw Mei Xue and Su Ji, and the two little maids, all poking out their panicked little heads from the mosquito nets, looking at them with nervous expressions. Yu Songyuan squatted down, and he didn't know if they could understand it, so he whispered in English to comfort him, "Don't panic, there will be no danger." Stay in the cabin and don't go to the deck! ”

Seeing that the four people were like four puppets, their heads slammed into a sudden. The two of them walked up to the deck with their guns, and Long Ji, Lao Zhou, and a few boatmen all lay on the deck with guns. It turned out that on the white misty and faint river surface in the distance, like ghost shadows, there were a few small sampan shadows.

"Who are these people? Is it a Siamese straggler? ”

"Those who haunt in the middle of the night must be the routs and robbers of Siam. We hung the national flag of Lancang, and the bandits of Lancang all knew the name of my Longji, and few dared to rob it. Along the way, whether it is the government or the local power, I should pay the money, one kip and one art. Only the military and police stragglers of Siam, they do not understand the rules of the road, they are bold, this must be them, they came to rob! Long Ji said nervously.

"Six boats, three on each side. There were three people in each boat, eighteen people. This is not a small one, have you ever encountered it? Lin Tao asked.

"I have encountered many times, and a ship of reasonable people has given money and let them go. However, I also encountered a hard robbery, and it was also this place, which couldn't run when it was windy, and camped here at night. That time it was six people, three boats, and it was also night, so we all overturned and fed the crocodiles! But we also sank a big ship, and seventeen or eighteen people died. ”

Yu Songyuan used the night vision binoculars to observe the surrounding environment, and his nerves quickly tensed.

Long Ji, Lao Zhou, and the entire fleet were all attracted by the rout of Siam. The greater danger is another contingent of Lancang bandits hiding behind the reeds by the river. On the left side of the riverbank, a few hundred meters from the top of the embankment to the river, a large area of dense reeds grows. The reeds were about 100 meters away from the fleet, and two black sticks were clearly exposed at the edges.

Although the light was dim, it was not difficult to tell that it was the muzzle of two black holes......
