Chapter 158: We Love Peace
The King of Thailand is dead.
In Chen Shen's memory, Bhumibol definitely did not die in 2010, but in 2016.
Before his actual death, there was a non-stop stream of fake news of all kinds, triggering riot after riot.
It's just that the scale of those riots is basically controllable, and it is completely just a "ZZ struggle", and it definitely does not rise to the level of a "military coup"!
But now, in Xiaoyu's simple sentence, there is an extremely critical factor, that is, Pa Mang's camp is in turmoil.
This means that the real fuse of all the disputes in the early stage has been completely detonated.
The conflict between the various forces in Thailand has entered the white heat, and the intensity of the struggle has climbed to the peak, and it will definitely start to spread soon!
Chen Shen's brows furrowed, and he opened his mouth to ask:
"Is the news credible? How could the King of Thailand die now? Isn't his physical condition improving? ”
Xiao Yu shook his head and replied:
"We can't confirm the authenticity of the message, but . Do you think it still matters? ”
"Someone blocked the news, someone released the news, and some people used the news to make trouble."
"A group of conservative officers has been directly purged, and the risk of a military coup has risen indefinitely."
"They can't wait, the situation in the Golden Triangle and northern Myanmar is in turmoil, and many of the deployments they have made here have surfaced with the death of Nuo Kham."
"On top of that, Nuo Kang's death was too sudden and unexpected, which caused them to simply have no time to prepare."
"The risks are nakedly exposed, and Nuo Kang is only the tip of the iceberg!"
"If they continue to follow this trail, they will fall into complete passivity."
"So, they had to make a try-—— even if it was a reckless attempt, it was better than sitting back and waiting!"
Butterfly effect.
Chen Shen breathed a long sigh of relief.
If he hadn't shown up, if Jiya hadn't been saved, if Nuo Kang hadn't died, or if Nuo Kang had been tried instead of being executed.
None of this would have progressed so quickly.
In the final analysis, the one who disturbs the entire Golden Triangle and even indirectly affects the process of the struggle for the throne is still himself!
Damn, why do you have to think about your own reasons for everything?
But there is no need to review the process, and what he needs to do now is to send Xiaoyu away as soon as possible.
The reason is self-evident.
Whether it was from the perspective of her own safety, or the intelligence significance she played in the overall situation, or from the perspective of the Dongfeng Corps' own interests, she could no longer stay in Mengka.
"I'm going to get ready now, and we're going right away."
Chen Shen opened his mouth and said.
"Where's the route?"
"Three roads, either take the Dabang waterway and cross the Mengla Highway on Taping; Either take the Mengyang Highway from Jingdong, the whole journey by land; Either take the path from Meng Yang. ”
"The first road needs to be transferred to a boat, and Taping needs to be picked up by a car, which is difficult to dispatch in a short time; The second road passes through the Burmese military defense area, which is not very easy; The third route passes through the safer area, but the road conditions are the worst and it takes the most time. ”
"I suggest taking the Meng Yang route, I can contact Bao Xiaomei and ask her to provide us with protection."
Hearing the name Bao Xiaomei, Xiao Yu's eyes flickered imperceptibly, and then asked:
"The relationship with the Wa State that I talked about before is her?"
"No, she's just a middleman."
"Understood. But this person. It's more complicated. She was reliable to us, but we didn't want to get too involved with her and we didn't want to reveal our identity. ”
"There are some things that not everyone is qualified for."
"Understood, then take the Taping route, the assault boat will set off first, and then we will take the car to Bang to take the assault boat."
"After arriving at Taping, we will be deployed on the spot and wait for your people to pick up."
"No problem!"
After simple and efficient communication, the escort plan is finalized.
Without any extra nonsense, Chen Shen and Xiaoyu separated and immediately began to contact and dispatch their respective resources.
The 23 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns on the Jianglong assault boat were re-replenished with ammunition, and this time it was no longer the previous base, but a full two thousand rounds!
The inventory of the Seventh Brigade was almost emptied, but fortunately, Chen Shen was now rich and did not care about the expenditure of more than 100,000 US dollars.
The members involved in the escort were also quickly determined that there could not be too many people, and two combat teams would be enough.
The white dog Li helped Yang Shu, the three of them were in a group with Chen Shen, and the mulberry leaves brought their own group, a total of 8 people, which just made up for all the positions in a skirmish.
After the equipment inspection was completed, the personnel arrived, and the assault boat set off to Taping to wait, and half an hour later, Xiaoyu found Chen Shen and informed the latter that she had completed the communication with the answering personnel.
"It's confirmed, pick it up at the tower level."
"They expect another 10 more to pass and 70 minutes to Taping."
"How long will it take us to get to Taping?"
"The land route is 30 minutes, and the waterway is 15 kilometers long, but the waterway is relatively narrow, and it is estimated that it will take about half an hour."
"It's one hour in total, and we'll get there before them, but it's not far behind."
"Yes, no problem, let's go now?"
"Let's go!"
Instant decision, without any pause.
The group sat on the marauders, who had been scarred by battle, and headed in the direction of Dabang.
Xiao Yu was wearing body armor and holding the MP5-K given to her by Chen Shen in her hand, revealing a trace of imperceptible nervousness in her eyes.
"Is there a chance that you will be attacked?"
Xiao Yu asked.
"It's not clear that this question should be answered by you. How crazy is the Phra Mang camp? ”
Chen Shen asked rhetorically.
"At the moment, we need to think about the worst-case scenario – that is, it could be directly attacked by me."
"The other party must know my existence and must know my value, especially in this chaotic situation, so."
Before Xiao Yu finished speaking, Chen Shen's phone rang.
At this time, the marauders had just driven out of the Nanluo Bridge, and the caller was a detachment of assault boats that had already arrived near Dabang.
"Commander, there is an ambush near Dabang, there is an exchange of fire!"
"We're retreating, it's Garoja, they're using an M56!"
"Withdraw first! Don't clash head-on, there is no advantage in being ambushed on the water! ”
Chen Shen gave a decisive order, then braked the marauder with a foot of the brake and hung up the phone.
Galoja is dead?!
Where did they get the information from?
Chen Shen and Xiao Yu glanced at each other, and at the same time realized the seriousness of the problem.
Subsequently, he continued to dial Peng Xucheng's phone.
As soon as the phone was connected, Peng Xucheng was the first to speak:
"Shipwreck, what did you do?"
"Someone has made an anonymous mission to block you in Mengka!"
"There are several mercenary groups on the outskirts of Monka that have taken over the mission, and Garoja has already begun to deploy defenses in Dabang, you."
"Boss Peng, don't tell me you don't know who ordered the task."
Chen Shen said in a cold tone.
"I really don't know! The mission didn't come from me! I initially suspect it may have something to do with it, but I have no proof! I'm in your territory, do you think I'm not afraid of death? ”
Peng Xucheng's tone was eager, and what was happening now seemed to be really unexpected by him.
Hearing his explanation, Chen Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Peng Xucheng did not defect, which means that the pressure comes from an external source that he cannot control.
The situation has not deteriorated one-sidedly
If Peng Xucheng doesn't take the initiative to report the situation, it will be really a big trouble!
So, he spoke:
"Understood, Boss Peng, don't be surprised."
"It's nothing to see or see, this reward is really weird, Garoja is no longer dead, someone must have given them enough price to let them play with their lives!"
"Shipwreck, what else do you have in your hands? If it's not something that must be kept, you go talk about it as soon as possible! ”
"It's a bad situation, someone has reached out! This is most likely just the beginning! ”
Even from the phone, Chen Shen could hear Peng Xucheng's situation on the verge of "hysteria", which was completely different from his usual performance, which shows that the development of things has really progressed to a level that even he and Wanfeng Group cannot control.
This was the first wave of shock from the Phra Mang battalion.
As expected at the beginning, they found the mercenary group, but their goal was not to kill the Dongfeng army or Xiaoyu.
And just "blocking"!
They want to cut off the connection between Xiaoyu and the north and create time for them to mediate and communicate!
"I can't even think about what you did to make the Pamang camp stress to this extent."
Chen Shen looked at Xiaoyu and spoke.
"I don't dare to think that 10 people can kill 300 people-—— the division of labor is different."
"Stop talking this nonsense, what now?"
Xiao Yu clenched the MP5-K in his hand, and his breathing became a little short.
Yes, she is just an intelligence officer, and she has a lot of experience in small-scale battles, but she actually does not have much experience with this kind of upcoming large-scale battle.
The theory is very sufficient, but the actual combat is insufficient, so it is inevitable that there will be some nervousness - this is instinct, just like when Chen Shen just crossed over.
"Can you talk?"
This question was very vague, but Xiao Yu immediately understood what he meant.
"I can't talk about it, I have to go."
"Then there's no way, let's rush the level. I'm going to get everybody to bring their gear now. ”
Chen Shen made a decisive decision, but Xiao Yu suddenly held down his hand.
"There's no need."
She spoke.
"There are some things that can't necessarily be solved by fighting."
"At least, we don't need to charge into battle ourselves."
"Remember what I told you about?"
"Dabang and Mongka are almost in a straight line along the course of the Mekong River and the river valley, how far apart?"
Chen Shen was stunned for a moment.
"About 20 kilometers."
"That's fine."
"Go back, call the head of the 7th Brigade and ask him to go to your place to test the artillery."
A fierce look flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes.
"I don't believe it, there are still people in this world who are not afraid of PPL01?!"
Twenty minutes later.
In the presence of Hobupa of the 7th Brigade, the AH-2 heavy howitzer, which had just been captured from the small pastoral village, roared and fired its first shell.
The shell streaked over the Mekong River, flew a full 18.9 kilometers in the direction of the river, and then landed precisely on the open ground near Dabang.
In the telescope, smoke and dust rose from Dabang in the distance.
Even if he couldn't hear the explosion, Chen Shen could feel the powerful power of this heavy artillery.
Immediately after that, there was the second shot, the third shot.
This time, there were 12 shells captured, two of which Chen Shen had already secretly hidden, and the rest was finished in front of He Bupa.
With a terrifying roar, the semi-automatic reloader filled the chamber after shell, and then sent whips from modern gunpowder onto the top of Garoja's head.
This scene made the heart of Hobupa, who was standing on the sidelines and watching the ceremony, sway—not because of the power of the shelling, of course.
Although the 155 heavy cannon is rare, he has not never hit it.
What really opened his eyes was that under the command of Chen Shen, his artillerymen who were obviously second-in-command, but their movements had become much smoother and more proficient.
That's what a strong leader does.
Perhaps, if he could, he should hire Chen Shen to be an instructor?
The thought flashed through his mind, but he soon realized that he wasn't really qualified to make such a request
Let's take a look.
The cannon stopped, he walked up to Chen Shen and said:
"Mr. Shipwreck, you did a good job in this exercise, deterring Xiaoxiao!"
Chen Shen laughed and replied:
"It's our drill."
A few minutes after the shelling stopped, Chen Shen sent He Bupa away.
Subsequently, the latest news came from the assault boat detachment.
The farmland near Dabang that was used as a shooting range was destroyed, and a cannonball flew to the weighbridge station near the Galoja camp, and the entire weighbridge station was blown away.
The mercenaries of Garoja were frightened, and the courage raised by the high bounty dissipated in an instant, and everyone was running around, and the defense line that had just been built collapsed directly.
No one wants to go on a mission anymore.
It's a bunch of remnants, what can they do to confront this kind of armed force with heavy firepower?
We just got on the M56, and you guys went straight to the 155 grenades?!
Run, if you don't run, the next shell will really hit your head
So, after confirming that the enemy had left the scene, Chen Shen immediately ordered the convoy to set off.
Half an hour later, the convoy passed through Dabang smoothly, continued to reach the transfer point, and all the staff got on the assault boat and continued to set off towards Taping.
In the process, not a single mouse dared to come forward and harass.
Chen Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the little fish sitting on the assault boat and fiddling with the bandage on his left hand, he said with a little emotion:
"You're actually no better than me."
Xiaoyu rolled her eyes.
"I'm much better than you, if it were you, you would definitely directly order the shelling of the camp in Garoja, and then cause a large number of casualties."
"What's the solution? My intelligence is much more granular than yours, and even in today's case, I don't know if a deterrent shelling can break through the opponent's defenses, because I don't know what the background of this whole thing is. ”
"So, I can only destroy as much as I can - otherwise it will be us who will be destroyed."
Chen Shen said with an innocent face.
"Reasonable."
Xiao Yu nodded slightly.
This reaction surprised Chen Shen a little.
"I thought you would criticize me for two sentences, what kind of style construction is a big problem or something"
"I can't criticize you."
Xiao Yu sighed and continued:
"As you said, you have the intelligence, but the granularity is really much worse than mine."
"So in a lot of cases, you can't take the same granular approach as we do."
"Then we can only rely on fighting and killing."
"There's no way around it."
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, then looked at Chen Shen seriously, and said:
"Don't think we're too friendly."
"We have always discouraged the use of violence."
"But, if necessary, we must also give to the enemy . Upper point means. ”
