Chapter 82: The Falklands War

The tremendous success we have achieved in anti-narcotics work has also made all the units participating in the training eager to try their skills in the hope of getting to the front line at an early date.

However, the more they do this, the more I will not let them go to the front line, because I know very well that being a plainclothes police officer requires some endurance that ordinary people do not have, although I have put them into society before and used the method of "identifying suspects" to let them practice it a few times, but when it comes to actually fighting drug dealers, it is a different matter.

First of all, drug dealers are much more cunning and dangerous than thieves, and when thieves are caught, it's not a big deal. And if a drug dealer is caught, he will be sentenced to life or even death at every turn, which means that this is directly related to the life or death of the drug dealer.

Therefore, out of consideration for their own lives, drug dealers will definitely hide deeper, and when they are discovered, they will definitely fight with us and break the net.

For this reason, if plainclothes police officers do not have a good psychological sense and appear too anxious or excited when they spot drug dealers, they can easily be detected by drug dealers. The result is not only the failure of the mission, but also the possibility of startling the snake and even putting the lives of plainclothes at risk.

Especially those police who are going to Myanmar to reconnoitre...... Because this part of the public security has to go abroad, in order to avoid disputes between countries, they cannot carry guns, and drug dealers will certainly not have scruples in this regard, that is to say, our public security officers will be completely in a passive position at that time.

On the other hand, for the public security officers, catching drug dealers and catching thieves are completely different things.

Let's catch the thief, there are still a lot of petty thefts in this era. The police officers can catch a few thieves by walking around the street a few times. Especially these police officers who were sent to our base to participate in the training. Thanks to the support of the public security department. These public security officers are all the best public security officers in the province, and the five fingers of these hundreds of people who have not caught a thief can be counted.

Because of this, catching thieves is not a challenge for them, which is why they can not blush and not beat their hearts after discovering a suspect in social practice...... It's just catching a thief, it's not a big deal.

However, catching drug dealers is different, and this is a great achievement in the public security department, especially now that the higher authorities have decided to vigorously crack down on drug organizations. So I was so excited...... It's very likely that something bad will happen.

Therefore, for those public security officers who are eager to go to the front line to catch drug dealers, not only do I not let them go up, but I also have people secretly write down their names. Consciously follow their training tables, if they still haven't smoothed out the boredom, then this part of the people will only have to go back to the public security department to catch the thief.

On the contrary, those who were able to do it without being shocked, and after observing them for a period of time, they slowly put them into the anti-narcotics and plainclothes team in batches.

At the same time, the anti-narcotics special police are also being actively formed, and needless to say, the source of the special police is selected from the anti-narcotics brigade. The number of people in this part does not need to be large, but it requires a good ...... The reason for this is that these armed police officers are also elites from various units, and as many as 80 percent of them have fought against the Vietnamese devils on the battlefield, and the other 20 percent have never fought at all. Because they are talents in communications, security, intelligence, etc.

From this point of view, the higher-ups were still very careful when considering the formation of the anti-narcotics brigade, and they knew that the anti-narcotics brigade was a battalion-level organization. And it is likely that it will need to be expanded in the future, so it should be "small and full of organs" from the beginning.

This also provides us with great convenience for the formation of a special police force, especially when the participating troops heard that the special police force we were going to set up was specially used to carry out special and difficult operations like the armed police force of Shen Guo......

But then again, although these police officers are also the elite of the public security department, they do not seem to be suitable for joining the special police. Needless to say, the reason is that they have never experienced that kind of high-intensity war, and it is difficult for them to meet the requirements in terms of psychological and military elements.

Of course, I will not turn away the public security officers because of this, and my reply to those public security officers is: "We only recruit 150 people, and if we can beat other competitors in various assessments, then both the public security and the armed police can enter the special police!" ”

As soon as I said this, the police officers were dumbfounded...... You must know that the items we assess are physical fitness, shooting, sniper and other subjects for the army to fight, and some of the public security officers are indeed demobilized veterans, but first, this physical fitness training has fallen, and secondly, I haven't touched a spear for several years, how can these things compare to the armed police who just got off the battlefield!

But they have nothing to say about this, looking at the battle they fought in Shen Guo, they really need talents in this area, so most of the public security officers and police officers retreated.

However, there are still a few people who do not believe in evil, and the most resolute position among them belongs to a public security officer named Hu Xiaoqiang, no matter what others say, he must also report this name.

But he also knew that he didn't have much chance of being a SWAT officer in this selection...... The preparation time was too short, we had to complete the selection in three days, and he, like the other police officers, had lost many of his skills for years.

As a result, he couldn't sleep on the left, and he was unwilling to think on the right, so he found me.

"Battalion commander!" Hu Xiaoqiang saluted me and then looked at me with a pleading look: "I want to apply to join the armed police force!" ”

"Huh? Why? I asked.

In fact, I already have the answer to this in my heart, Hu Xiaoqiang's dream of special police has not been shattered, he wants to train with the armed police force first, so that he will have the opportunity to enter the special police force in the future.

Sure enough, Hu Xiaoqiang replied: "Report to the battalion commander, I want to be a special policeman!" ”

"Why do you want to be a SWAT officer so much?" I asked, "You should know that the work of the special police and even the armed police is much more dangerous than that of the public security!" ”

"I know!" Hu Xiaoqiang replied firmly: "I thought about it very clearly, and I only blamed me for being born at the wrong time, and I started fighting a few months after demobilization...... At that time, I also thought about asking to enter the army again to go to the battlefield, but because my wife was about to give birth, I didn't do it because I begged hard. Now that I think about it, I regret it, I should have gone to the battlefield with my comrades-in-arms in the first place! I don't have any big ideals or ambitions, I just think that the army is suitable for me, and although the life in the army is hard, it is interesting, and there are challenges every day, unlike in the public security ......bureau."

Speaking of this, Hu Xiaoqiang stopped talking, but I still understood the meaning of his words, and at the same time understood his thoughts.

Some people are really like that, they need excitement, they need thrills, and people like them go crazy to live that kind of cycle or dull life.

So this thing is really like what Hu Xiaoqiang said, it is not about any big ideals and ambitions, but an attitude towards life.

I thought about it, then nodded and agreed to Hu Xiaoqiang's request: "Go to the armed police force first to get used to it, if you can't adapt or can't keep up, then go back to the public security force!" ”

"Yes!" Hu Xiaoqiang saluted me excitedly, and just as he was about to leave, he turned around and came back to salute me again: "Thank you, battalion commander!" ”

I can see Hu Xiaoqiang's gratitude to me from his expression and movements, but in fact, he doesn't need to thank me at all, because I am not doing it for his good.

Exactly, I don't know if it's a good or bad thing to promise him.

This is a good thing for Hu Xiaoqiang or the army, because I know that a person like Hu Xiaoqiang, who regards the army as a kind of life, and the thrill and thrill as a hobby, may be born a soldier.

In other words, it is quite possible that he will eventually achieve his wish through his efforts, which is to join the SWAT team.

But this is not a good thing for his wife and children.

"Battalion commander!" While I was pondering, Zhao Jingping came up to me and reported to me: "Britain and Argentina are fighting!" ”

"Oh? Falklands War?! ”

"How did the battalion commander know?" Zhao Jingping couldn't help but look at me suspiciously.

"Hmm!" Only then did I realize that I had slipped my mouth, and hurriedly replied: "It's not a secret anymore, it's been rumored for a long time!" ”

"Oh!" When Zhao Jingping heard this, he no longer doubted and stopped asking.

What I mean by this is that my superiors have already received the news about this, and the reason why I know about it is because of my relationship with my superiors...... In other words, as the commander of the synthetic battalion, I definitely have this qualification.

Zhao Jingping is a smart person, so he heard the meaning of this as soon as he heard it, and as a soldier, of course he knew that these military secrets were not suitable for asking more.

However, where would he know, I would know that the Falklands War was not because of contact with my superiors, but because of my knowledge of history, and even before the war began I knew which of them had lost and who had won.

"Now the international situation is going to start to be tense again!" Zhao Jingping said: "It's rare that the wind and waves were calm for a while ago, but I didn't expect this battle to emerge again!" ”

"Does this battle affect us?" I couldn't help but be a little puzzled when I heard this.

"Absolutely!" Zhao Jingping replied: "You must know that at this time, the United States can be said to be our ally, and Britain is a hardcore ally of the United States, and now Britain is fighting with Argentina...... In the event that Britain suffers a loss or the influence of the war expands, the United States will undoubtedly have to side with Britain to help it, and then the influence of the United States on the Soviet Union may be weakened! ”

"Oh!" I couldn't help but nod my head.

Judging from the current form, this is indeed the case, but it is only because I know that the outcome of this war in history is the victory of Britain, so I do not think about it in this way. (To be continued......)
