Chapter 168: Riot (Happy New Year)

Gu Ji raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously remembered what Prime Minister Dieter said before leaving, Midnapur Prefecture was still discussing the disposal issue, so he asked Fatima to contact Minister Anurag and use the central cabinet government to further pressure.

Five minutes passed.

Anuragg called back and said that he could not find the prefectural government, but that he had reported it to the Cabinet Secretariat and that the central government would send a commissioner to assist in the communication.

"It takes at least three hours to get here from New Delhi, and it will be too late to collect the body by then."

Gu Ji shook his head, not wanting to waste time waiting for the rabbit, so he turned back to Swaraj and briefly recounted the emergency, "We have to find a way to find the fire engineering team first and transport the explosives over." ”

Swaraj didn't speak, instead turned his head to look at Marlowe.

A faint hint of anger flashed in the latter's eyes.

"Group B stayed at the position of the transport plane to ensure the safety of the equipment explosives, and Group A followed me to find the fire engineering team!"

"Group B received!"

"Group A received!"

16 soldiers of the Special Border Forces shouted in batches.

Gu Ji asked Fatima to stay where she was and continue to contact the prefectural government, because after all, she was a civilian official, and it was difficult for her physical strength to keep up with the mountain troops on the cross-country trek.

The soldiers of Group A simply sorted out the accompanying equipment, and then trotted briskly according to the target point pointed by Gu Ji.

The wind swept the torrential rain like countless whips, whipping the ground fiercely.

The soles of the huge rubber boots stepped on, and the rain splashed, making a crackling sound, and it was confused.

Gu Ji stopped and picked up the binoculars to take a closer look.

He checked the map location with his mobile phone, and there was still at least 5 kilometers from here to East Midnapur County, which would take half an hour to say the least according to the army's cross-country weight-bearing training standards, which was a waste of time and physical strength.

So he chose another path.

On the banks of the river!

Since the state meteorological observatory has already issued a red warning, whether it is the state government, the district government, or the county government, it will direct the police and fire brigades to carry out the most basic protection.

Especially in the light of the Assam disaster.

They will certainly build levees near the banks of the river to ensure that the surging water level does not backflow, although this is simply useless.

"Vidi, we still have to catch up with ......"

"Captain, there are many silver reflections in front of you!"

As soon as Ma Luo wanted to ask Gu Ji about the specific route, he didn't expect the reconnaissance team members under his command to find out that there was a situation ahead.

He quickly came to the scout and picked up the binoculars.

What caught the eye of several people was a riverbank, and there were many silver reflections near the riverbank, although due to the heavy rain, the visibility was low, and it was difficult to see clearly.

But the military and police circles have been in the circle for a long time, and they all know that this is a reflective rescue vest for the fire brigade.

"Let's go, go over and have a look."

Gu Ji put down the binoculars and just wanted to leave, but was pressed down by Marlowe.

"Vidi, you're following me."

"Ah, good!"

Gu squinted imperceptibly, and noticed that Marlowe's right hand holding the gun was actually tightened.

"Imran, Sharpshoot."

"Yes!"

A strong Indian man with a scar on the right side of his face walked around several people and walked to the front.

Gu Ji noticed that during the march of the team, they always stuck to the bushes and maintained a vigilant posture to advance, obviously with some intention of breaking in tactically.

And under the deliberate cover of Marlowe and others.

The firefighters never noticed their existence, and the heavy rain muffled the footsteps, until they hit their backs, and no one looked back and hurriedly slapped the team members next to them in a panic, shouting, "Captain! There are guns! There are guns! ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm Vidi Dali, sent by the central government to work with the Army's 57th Mountain Division to carry out the dam blasting plan, your state government should have given you the order, right? We now need engineering transport vehicles...... "In order not to cause unnecessary friction, Gu Ji took a step in advance, took the initiative to explain his intentions, and came up with a task mandate authorized by the central government.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then refused: "I'm sorry, we have never heard any orders that require cooperation, please leave!" ”

"Haven't heard of it? Call your immediate leaders now! ”

Gu Ji frowned, and from a series of attitudes in the central place, he remembered the words that Anurag said in the hotel corridor on the first day of his trip to New Delhi:

The relationship between the Governor of West Bengal and the Central Cabinet Government has not been good, and the various parts of the state are in disarray.

It is clear that whether the district government does not answer the phone, or the firefighters are unwilling to cooperate, it is a sign that the Midnapur Prefecture is deliberately trying to make things difficult for them.

Marlowe gave a look, and the remaining seven team members immediately put the butts of their guns on their shoulders.

The black AK-203 muzzle deterrent is still full.

An older fire captain immediately took out the phone, muttered a few words, and was about to hang up, but was stopped by Gu Jiyi and grabbed the phone: "You are the fire chief?" ”

"I am, I already know your requirements, I will send a car as soon as possible, just wait there."

The fire chief spoke very quickly and hung up the phone after a few words, looking very perfunctory.

Gu Ji dialed it back again, but he didn't expect that no one would answer it again.

He turned his head to look at the middle-aged fire chief, and seeing that the other party was a little evasive, Gu Ji gradually narrowed his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes suddenly condensed, as if two cold stars had disappeared in a flash.

"Can't wait, your car will be requisitioned for the time being!"

He resolutely walked to the pickup truck vehicle of the fire brigade to pull goods, but in the next second, three or five firefighters stopped him.

"Why?"

"It's not proper for you to do this! Didn't the director say that he would send a car over later? ”

"Can a soldier do whatever he wants?"

……

Facing the rebuttals of the chattering of several people in front of him, the originally peaceful aura on Gu Ji's body gradually turned into an astonishing tyrannical aura, and even the originally handsome and kind facial features of "Weidi" also came down.

"Unruly? I have already shown you the government's military order, I repeat it one last time, please cooperate with the dam blasting plan, this is to save the lives of 50 million people in southern West Bengal, if anyone maliciously obstructs the rescue, I will immediately let the soldiers take coercive measures against them, get out of the way!! ”

Gu Ji said word by word, and his tone was calm.

Marlowe on the side rushed up with his men with guns.

Several firefighters didn't expect Gu Ji's attitude to suddenly become so tough, coupled with the black muzzle of the gun near his head, how could they dare to stop it again, for fear of being killed by a soldier.

In this way, Gu Ji took 8 soldiers of the Special Border Force and successfully won two pickup trucks.

He acted on a tough side, but he earned the respect of the soldiers.

For the first time, Marlowe took the initiative to ask for his opinion.

"Vidi, what do we do next?"

"Captain Marlowe, time is pressing, you immediately drive back to the transport plane with the soldiers, and prioritize the delivery of explosives and high explosives to the Faraka Dam, and I can continue to lead people along the river bank to search for other means of transportation!"

"Vidi, I'm not here for fear of an accident, so let's do it, Duwasas, Karuna, you two take one person each, return to Hippo No. 4 and No. 5, report the situation to Colonel Swaraj, and the rest, cooperate with me with Vidi to carry out a search along the river!"

Instead of returning alone, Marlowe gave the task to his men and split the team of eight into two.

Wait for the vehicle to leave.

Gu Ji and his party continued to march along the river.

When he passed by the villages and towns on the banks of the river, he found that all the lights of the houses had been extinguished, indicating that the prefectural government had already begun to transfer the people on both sides of the river, which was a bit of a conscience.

Since they couldn't find the vehicle, they had no choice but to continue on foot.

About five minutes later, the soldier behind him who was responsible for the tail press came with a warning that a vehicle was approaching.

After observation, I realized that it was the pickup truck that I had just gone and returned.

At this time, the rear compartment was already full of explosives and various equipment, and the soldiers of Group B were lying next to the body or hanging on the side of the door.

"Vidi, I have heard from the minister that 80% of the people in the East and West Midnapur districts oppose blowing up the Falaka Dam on the grounds that the flood from the reservoir will destroy their homes and arable land, and next March is when West Bengal is running for the chief minister again, and the district commissioner of Midnapur Prefecture promised the people that he would do his best to stop the central cabinet government's dam blasting plan in order to win the votes in the eastern and western districts!"

!

After Gu Ji heard the news of Fatima's report in the car, he was so angry that he scolded his mother in his heart.

Here they are working tirelessly to save people's lives and safety, but the people over there have to do everything they can to stop it.

What's even more disgusting.

It is just that the government of the prefecture does not guide correctly, and for its own selfish interests, it takes advantage of the ignorance of the people and fuels the troubles, completely ignoring the life and death of the people!

"What do you think of Kolkata, the capital city?"

"Although there are some officials and people in Kolkata who do not want the Farakka dam to be blown up, because it is a city in the lower Hooghly River basin, if the dam bursts, it will become a direct disaster area, which is the reason why the powerful officials, mainly the chief minister of the state and the governor of the capital district, support the blasting plan."

"It's easy to support, contact the chief minister immediately, and ask him to immediately send more riot police forces and engineering teams to support, the more people, the better, right away!!"

In addition to the previous flood train trapped accident, this was the second time Fatima saw him with such a grim face, he vaguely understood the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly turned out the contact list.

As the team keeps going uphill.

After about a kilometer of driving, everyone heard the sound of rushing water, and through the illumination of the headlights, you could see countless whirlpools of all sizes rotating on the surface of the river, and a little farther on, a huge reinforced concrete building across the Hooghly River.

That's right, this is the ultimate goal of Gu Ji and others, and it is also the largest one in the dam blasting plan: the Faraka Dam.

At this moment, it is like a long silver dragon lying between mountain streams.

Just as Swaraj gave the order to speed up.

Suddenly.

The scout lying on the top of the front of the car suddenly shouted: "Right front, at 2 o'clock in the front of the car, there is a lot of bright light!" Be careful! There's a lot of light! ”

Tata Tower......

In the blink of an eye, patches of bright light emerged from the darkness, and at a glance, there were at least dozens of them, some of them were strong flashlights, and some were orange-yellow horseshoe lights.

The whole lonely and desolate hill seemed to have been cut by lightning, and under the glow and rain, there were dense black shadows, and the riot and turmoil spread rapidly.

It's the crowd!!

A crowd of at least a few hundred or more!!

"Group A, Group B! Check the ammo! Level 1 Alert! Repeat! Level 1 Alert!! ”

Marlowe shouted at the top of his voice, and his eyes instantly became fierce.

Suddenly, all 16 soldiers of the Special Border Force jumped out of the car, assumed a posture of shooting shoulder-to-shoulder, and aimed the aiming system at the crowd under black pressure.

"Chase away these demons!!"

"Down with them! We must not allow these outsiders to destroy our homeland! ”

"Fack! If you have a kind of shooting, you will shoot Lao Tzu! See if I'm afraid of you! ”

"Lord Shiva is watching your evil deeds from heaven, and everything you do will be punished!!"

……

Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Gu Ji also heard the cursing and scolding from the crowd.

Until there are only about 20 meters between the two sides.

Gu Ji and the others finally saw the whole picture of this group of black shadows.

There were about seven or eight hundred of them, most of them local villagers from East and West Midnabul counties, all dressed in coarse cloth clothes, some with turbans, some with red eyebrows, some old and some young, all with something in their hands, clubs, hoes, and some simply picking up stones from the ground.

As can be seen from this dress, they are supposed to be Indian farmers.

It is no wonder that when the dam is destroyed, not only will the farmland be flooded, but most importantly, there will be no stable water source for irrigation in the autumn and winter, so it is normal for them to stand up and maintain the dam spontaneously.

The real reason that can make Gu a few people angry.

Behind these local Indian peasants, there was also a group of government officials wearing umbrellas and suits, and next to the government officials, there were seventy or eighty Indian policemen wearing khaki police uniforms and armed hands.

Needless to say, these people must be the Middlenabl government officials Fatima said were trying to get votes.

Other words.

This is an organized, premeditated riot led by local authorities!!

"Get out of here!"

"With me, you don't even want to blow up the dam!"

"Get out! If you don't roll, we'll do it! ”

As soon as the words fell, swish, and in an instant, a black object suddenly smashed over from a distance.

"Be careful! Something is falling! Be careful to dodge! ”

I don't know which soldier shouted, and everyone hid behind the two pickup trucks one after another, until the object fell in front of Gu Ji's feet, and it turned out to be a stone.

"Captain Marlowe! Don't shoot! We've got to find a way to drag it off, and leave it to me! ”

Seeing that Marlowe wanted to fire a warning shot, Gu Ji hurriedly rushed over with an arrow and pressed the muzzle of the gun.

Fatima held her breath and stared at the scene in front of her in panic with a pair of large, beautiful eyes.

Until this moment.

Only then did she realize that Gu Ji's expression had sternly asked her to call for reinforcements from the Kolkata government.

This is simply a mass riot!!
