Chapter 1351: Preparing for action
Sure enough, the rumors are not enough, according to KGB's investigation, there is indeed a strange situation in the Bao Dhwin mining area in central Myanmar, and the situation of people missing and missing in this area is stricter than in other parts of Myanmar.
"Disappearance......?
Burma, Comrade Detective, I don't know much about the situation over there, but isn't this country perennially in civil strife, and the missing people don't seem to be a strange thing, does it? ”
Long Yun's question is naturally very reasonable, in a place like Myanmar with uneven population density and barren mountains and mountains, it is not uncommon for people to disappear at ordinary times, not to mention that the armed forces of Shan State have been at odds with the Burmese government for a long time, and under the war and conflict, the lives of civilians and even soldiers are not guaranteed at all, even if they die in the mountains and there are no bones, in most cases there will not even be a trace left.
"It's true, this part of Myanmar is not peaceful at all, and you have a point.
However, according to the survey statistics of the frontline personnel, although the figures are not necessarily accurate, the problem of missing people in the Bao Win mining area is more serious than in other parts of Myanmar, and even more so than in several other war-torn areas.
In terms of the local situation, the 'Bao Won Mining Area' is not actually the area with the most serious civil conflict in Myanmar, and the Shan State armed forces have also put some effort into the management of local law and order; combined with some local rumors, many people have disappeared in the process of 'treasure hunting' in the northern mountains, so our view is that the annual disappearance rate of nearly 6 per 1,000 people is abnormal, which is obviously unusually high. ”
"Well...... It also seems to make sense. ”
The disappearance rate of 6 per 1,000 sounds like almost one out of 150 people. In war-torn Myanmar. It doesn't seem like a big deal.
But at the reminder of Ivanov. Long Yun quickly figured this out, the "missing rate" is not equal to the "mortality rate", to say that in a place like Myanmar, the mortality rate is high, it is not surprising, but missing, that means "no one alive, no dead body", but in places where the population density reaches a certain level. This ratio should be relatively low, and it has little to do with whether or not to fight a civil war.
Following this line of thought, Long Yun naturally thought of the tragic night of the "Dead City" and the mysterious power that followed to kill people, he suddenly felt a little chilled, and a very terrible conjecture appeared in his mind.
Perhaps, in the deep mountains and old forests in the north of this mining area, there are really a large number of "energy media", not only that, but the situation inside is also the same as around the "dead city". It is an absolute forbidden area for people, those local people of Myanmar who have disappeared inexplicably. Was it swallowed up by a strange force?
Although it was only a hypothesis, the young man was uncomfortable with the thought, and he pondered for a moment before looking up at the agent and motioning him with his eyes to continue.
Comrade Lieutenant General had no way of knowing what was on the mind of Comrade Semyon Ivanov, and he thought that Comrade Viktor Rezenov in front of him was a type who was silent and liked to think, and was now making decisions based on his own report, so he was silent for a while before continuing.
Semyon Ivanov's construction is also exactly what Long Yun has in mind, although his starting point of thinking is not the same as the agent in front of him, but even if it is out of concern about the source of the "energy media", he also wants to send people to investigate, of course, he also plans to go in person.
As the "head of covert operations", Lubyanka's special instructions on 11 allowed Long Yun to decide for himself how to carry out the investigation, but only based on the materials collected by the KGB, plus a little homework he did in the real world, the young man still had some concerns.
Well, even if there is indeed something strange in the 100,000 mountains of Myanmar and he goes there as Viktor Rezenov, what will he do next?
Joining the KGB organization halfway, or in fact, Viktor Rezenov's identity has long been a member of the secret front, but Long Yun has very little experience in this area, and he is more accustomed to not strategizing and commanding a group of people to act, but acting alone according to the orders of his superiors to complete difficult and complex tasks. And now, I don't know how many people there are, Long Yun thought about it on the sofa for a while, and decided to use the experience and wisdom of the agent in front of him:
"Okay, then my personal opinion, the situation is clear now: since the Americans have been operating in the Baodwin mining area, no matter what the reason for their search for 'black jade', let's start with the 'northern mountains' and maybe find some valuable clues.
Comrade Ivanov, I know the manpower arrangement, and you will return to Myanmar and work there under my own guidance, right? ”
"Yes, 'Дpakoh', then I'll give you an overview of the team ahead."
Speaking of his field of work, Semyon Ivanov came to his senses, this time he went from Myanmar to China, mainly to report to Comrade "Дpakoh" on the current state of the investigation on "Black Jade"; As for a long time ago, this middle-level head of the KGB Far East organization was mainly responsible for conducting investigations under the command of the 11th General Directorate of the KGB, and his field of responsibility had nothing to do with "energy media" and "superpowers".
It seems a bit abrupt to assign a team subordinate to the General Directorate of KGB Executives, often responsible for some bizarre overseas missions, to cooperate with Viktor Rezenov's secret operation, and the leader is ignorant of any secrets related to the "energy media", but Long Yun does not think so, he knows very well what General Secretary Malenkov and Comrade Beria have on this matter, that is, "to be highly vigilant against the Americans' research on the fields involved in the 'energy media', and to prevent and sabotage their actions under absolute secrecy."
Regardless of the real intentions of the Americans, this action is abnormal enough and dangerous enough for KGB to take decisive action.
At the same time, in order to avoid reminding the Yankees that "'energy media' is extremely important", the more secretive this action is, the better.
Thinking of this, Long Yun briefly looked at the information of the members of the action team assigned above, these photos and detailed information of the local intelligence officers, only the code name and the skills and current tasks were presented in front of him, and the specific situation, the young man didn't care much about it now, he closed the folder, handed it back to Semyon Ivanov, and asked this experienced veteran of the secret front directly:
"Well, Comrade Ivanov, how about you now tell us what you think?
I just took a look at it, and the number of our comrades in Burma is not very large, and we are not allowed to receive strong assistance from the rear or from China. In other words, in the face of rampant CIA agents and perhaps American special forces, we can only do this job ourselves except for a team of people who call 'Vympel' in an emergency.
Specific manpower arrangement, I understand, we still have people who can do the 'dirty work' at hand, right?
This time, since we want to do it with the Americans in a place like Myanmar, I am afraid that the scene will not be small, and there are still those ...... Hey, those weird rumors, Comrade Ivanov, I think you must have some plans, let's discuss them now. ”
Long Yun's words were more direct, the reason why he had this kind of confidence, of course, was out of unobstructed consciousness of snooping, knowing that the old senior kgb in front of him had already analyzed the matter, and he also had a rough task plan.
To the frankness of the comrade lieutenant general, Semyon Ivanov was right on the appetite, and he had a little doubt that the number one ace of the VVS parachuted in to lead this unbelievable overseas mission, in case the lieutenant general of the aviation forces committed the addiction of commanding battles, creating a situation in which a layman commanded an insider, and he felt that Viktor Rezhnov was definitely a layman in intelligence work, then the whole group would probably suffer a lot of losses.
Of course, in addition to this, why did the upper echelons of the commission send a lieutenant general of the aviation to preside over the work?
This kind of question, a qualified KGB agent never thinks too much, let alone asks too much, he immediately sorts out his thoughts, and then elaborates on his plan of action:
"So, 'дpakoh', I will first state the priority of the group for the next stage.
Folklore can't be fully believed about the origin of the 'black jade', but the disappearance of people in the Baodwin mining area is not false at all, so we think that this has little to do with the Americans who have only recently infiltrated Myanmar.
So, what I think about now, for the time being, is one line to keep an eye on the Yankees, and as for the other line, we can first try to find out how the 'black jade' that is scattered among the people and now bought by the Americans got their hands on it......"
An evening meeting lasted a long time before it ended, and after sending Semyon Ivanov away, Long Yun raised his hand to look at his watch, and the time was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Seeing that the time was not early, and the delegation still had some schedules for the next day, he took a shower after washing up casually, and was pulling on his slippers to quickly climb into bed to rest, but the walkie-talkie on the table in the living room made a few "clicks" and vibrated on the table at the same time, and then was picked up by the young man who heard the "buzzing" sound.
"Uh,—— yes, haven't slept yet.
- Oh...... Is it? You mean ...... 'Rome'? Okay, it's okay, let's send it now. (To be continued......)
