Chapter 165: Reality
Lin He left Mengka on March 3, he did not drive, but planned to go straight into the jungle when he went out.
According to his plan, he would walk 30 kilometers and reach Meng Yang, and then take a bus from Meng Yang to Kokang to ensure absolute concealment of his movements.
He didn't carry any weapons, not even a pistol for self-defense.
At this time, on the Kokang side, the Allied Army, the Burmese Army, and the so-called police force of Bai Socheng were fighting inextricably, but fortunately, the war had actually entered the most anxious "stage of public security warfare", and some businessmen and foreign capital who had withdrawn after the exchange of fire on August 27 had also begun to gradually return.
After all, after driving away Peng Jiasheng, the first thing Bai Suocheng had to do was to restore order, and it was impossible to kill all the outsiders.
However, before he set off, Chen Shen still found him and said earnestly:
"This time you pass, everything is on your own."
"You're smart in your own right, and the only thing you need to be careful about is not going to extremes."
"Don't think that you are an outcast, you must realize that I have spent a lot of money to train you, and your life is worth much more than an action."
"We don't want to fail, but if the situation is no longer out of control, we also need to learn to evacuate decisively."
"Or to put it bluntly, if you are caught, you will directly show your identity and tell them that you are a scout officer of the Mengka Dongfeng Corps, in order to find the whereabouts of the kidnappers offered by Huamei Commercial Bank."
"They won't do anything to you, you know?"
"Understood, Commander, don't worry."
Lin He nodded firmly, his eyes still revealing a hint of determination.
Chen Shen keenly caught this change, so he immediately spoke:
"Repeat what I said."
"If you are caught, show your identity immediately, and don't go to extremes."
Lin He repeated.
"I'm not a polite remark, this is an order."
"Understand, regimental commander, it's not a polite word, it's an order."
Looking at Lin He's reaction, Chen Shen patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Let's go, give us intelligence feedback as soon as possible, and wait for your good news."
"Understood!"
Lin He turned to leave without the slightest hesitation.
Looking at his back, Chen Shen suddenly had a . The illusion of flying a kite.
He still remembered that in his previous life, he had also witnessed many intelligence reconnaissance personnel turn away like Lin He, some of them were able to return safely, but some of them were disconnected and disappeared forever under the dark sky.
The fate of the river Lin. Which one will it be? ——
It shouldn't be too bad.
After all, this is not a difficult undercover mission, but just a pathfinder.
Seeing that Lin He had disappeared from view, Chen Shen turned around and returned to the villa, and at this time, the white dog who had been following Chen Shen suddenly spoke:
"I thought you were going to cancel his reconnaissance plan-—— but in fact, with the current situation, we can go directly to Kokang to carry out reconnaissance, right?"
"Huamei Comptoir's bounty gives us enough justification, and now many mercenary groups are staring at this matter, if they can go, of course we can go."
"You're thinking wrong."
Before Chen Shen could answer, Shi Dakai, who was also next to him, interrupted the white dog.
"Lin He's role is not to obtain intelligence, or it should be said that his main role is not to obtain intelligence."
"The reason why he was sent out was to 'explore the way'."
"We have been isolated from Kokang for too long, and the information we get from the news and from the mouths of the traders is not credible, so at this time, it is necessary to have someone to take a look and determine the environment there, especially the attitude towards foreign forces."
"This will determine our subsequent battle plan and equipment arrangement."
"After all, Kokang is too far away from Monka, and we can't drive the Marauders all the way through."
Hearing Shi Dakai's words, the white dog nodded thoughtfully.
He vaguely felt that this reason seemed a little unconvincing, but he didn't know where to refute it.
After thinking for a few seconds, he finally gave up, and after a few simple words of communication with Chen Shen, he went to the office building of the Dongfeng Corps, intending to continue to connect with Huamei Commercial Bank for new information.
Chen Shen stayed in the villa, carefully looking at the map, and planning the route for the follow-up evacuation plan.
And just after the white dog walked out of the door, Shi Dakai suddenly came over again.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Commander, can we do it in vain?"
This sentence made Chen Shen's heart froze, he raised his head to look at Shi Dakai, frowned and asked:
"What are you worried about?"
"Just like you. In fact, you asked Lin He to explore the way first because you can't be sure if our family is still alive, right? ”
Chen Shen didn't speak, but put down the pen in his hand that was marking the map, got up and closed the door of the combat command room.
Then, he sat down in front of Shi Dakai again and replied:
"It's hard to fight in vain."
"At least it's not going to be easy to fight in the short term."
"It's not a question of strength, with their current strength, if we really kill him, it may be difficult to kill him, but it's definitely not impossible."
"Actually, the core problem is."
"Over there."
Shi Dakai replied quickly.
"That's right, in the final analysis, it's still a 'poison' problem."
Chen Shen sighed and continued:
"In the more than 20 years from 86 to last year, 80% of Kokang's drugs went to the outside world."
"He's the real Bold Poison King."
But in the same way, since 03, Peng Jiasheng has claimed to have started to ban drugs, and in fact has achieved certain results. Although no one can say exactly which step he has achieved, but he is still . Someone who can listen to it. ”
"It's very complicated and very contradictory."
"This time, all parties are paying attention to the introduction of thieves in vain, but none of them have made a clear statement."
"I can't figure out whether they think that Peng Jiasheng is ineffective in drug control and that replacing drugs with gambling is not in line with expectations, and wants to try it with another person, or whether the change in the distribution of benefits after the drug prohibition has caused Bai Suocheng to jump over the wall."
"So if we kill him, the situation will be very delicate."
In fact, even Chen Shen's previous life did not figure out this problem.
Because after all, he is only a front-line executive and has access to a lot of "direct" intelligence, but it is really not so easy to see the "big picture" clearly.
Therefore, now he is not inclined to make a judgment immediately, after all, he has just caught up with the line, what if he annoys Big Brother again?
It's not a problem to kill Bai Suocheng, but after killing him, who will go up?
You can't send someone from the Dongfeng Corps to take over
I really thought that the warlord could be a casual fighter, and he could fight it.
When you become a warlord, the most difficult point is the distribution of benefits, you don't have this ability, it won't take long to get down.
And the Dongfeng Corps without a foundation is absolutely impossible to have this ability.
Looking at Chen Shen's expression, Shi Dakai couldn't help but sigh.
There was silence for a long time before he spoke:
"If you really can't. Just let it go. ”
"I mean, even if something does happen to someone, don't tell the news first."
Shi Dakai's tone was very hesitant, and his expression was very tangled.
Chen Shen could fully understand his inner struggle and pain.
Your loved ones died at the hands of the enemy, but for the sake of greater interests, you have to choose forbearance, and you may even have to shake hands with the enemy to make peace, what kind of torture is this?
But he is willing to endure this torture and is willing to put the interests of the Dongfeng Corps first, which is enough to prove that he is more credible than anyone else.
——
However, he was willing to do this, but Chen Shen couldn't really do it.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Shen spoke:
"We have to think about the worst-case scenario, but we can't plan for the worst-case scenario."
"No one knew where things would go until Lin He sent feedback."
"Perhaps, things are not as bad as we thought-—— after all, we are just a few ordinary deserters, and Bai Sucheng may not spend too much time on us."
"Even if you have to deal with Lao Burma, it is enough to find a few corpses."
"Of course, in case the worst happens, we still have to be prepared."
"We can't wait for revenge, if we dare to move, we will have to kill."
"This is the foundation of our existence, once broken, this corps can no longer be maintained."
"As for that side. I'll figure it out, and there's always a way. ”
"Understood."
Shi Dakai nodded firmly, and then said:
"Captain, what we are talking about today is between us."
"I know."
As he spoke, Chen Shen reopened the door of the combat command room and returned to the map.
"Now let's talk about the real thing."
"The families of the three of you are in Mujie, Gongtang, and Laojie respectively, and they are relatively scattered in terms of location distribution, but no matter how scattered they are, our final evacuation route is to take Highway 34 from Rolling Lane."
"It's the only route that allows for quick maneuvering, but there will be multiple checkpoints and checkpoints along the route, and we'll even pass through the Tatmadaw-controlled Lashio area."
"How to successfully clear the customs is still a big problem, and it is impossible for us to do another jungle crossing, because the physical strength of the family members cannot keep up at all."
"We must consider a variety of situations, a variety of disguises, and how to ensure the safety of the family when we have to rush through the customs as a last resort."
After Chen Shen's words were finished, Shi Dakai also re-entered the state.
He looked at the map, carefully recalled the memories and experiences he had left behind while living in that area, and after thinking for a few minutes, he finally spoke:
"We don't necessarily need to disguise, in fact, I think that the problems that can be solved with money can be solved with money"
Time flew by, and after 3 daily routine contacts, Lin He finally confirmed that he had arrived at Lao Cai and entered the area where the reconnaissance mission was scheduled to be carried out.
Although it will take a while to get the information, the news has already excited the trio who have been waiting for a long time.
Bao Qi's leg is not yet well, and it is impossible for him to participate in this rescue operation, but his enthusiasm is no lower than that of any other person.
The communication of the plan is almost constant, and he is thinking about how to make up for the shortcomings of the plan and make it more perfect.
In fact, under the full discussion of everyone, the detailed plan of the rescue operation also quickly took shape, and even in the internal confrontation deduction, it has achieved a successful record.
This progress has made everyone happy, and they have almost seen the day when the family will be reunited.
On the eighth day after Lin He's departure, everyone who had finished their routine training sat around the dinner table, eating a dinner made by Chen Shen himself while discussing their future plans.
Even Li Bang's words were a lot more.
I remember when we first arrived in Mengka, Brother Chen also cooked a meal for us, and at that time I also said that it would be great if my family could eat such dishes."
"What pepper sesame chicken, what back to the pot meat or something."
"They are all farmers, and the meat they have eaten the most in the past is probably the loaches and fish caught in the river, and the four-legged snake running on the ground."
"I don't know how they're going to react when they come here for their first bite of food."
"I don't know if my sister has lost weight. Without my salary, it would be even more difficult for my family. ”
"But it should be able to last, it's only 6 months, and there won't be anything serious."
Hearing his words, Bao Qi on the side nodded slightly, and then continued:
"Optimistically, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
"Don't talk about Brother Chen's cooking, when they come, I will have to spend money to build a villa for them myself."
"Now I'm a rich man, it doesn't cost much to build a villa here, right?"
"$200,000 is still needed-—— it depends on how far you build."
Shi Dakai interjected to answer, and after a slight pause, he said:
"Seriously, I really feel like I don't have enough money to spend, more than 300,000 US dollars, I look like a lot, but I just spend it and it's gone."
"Maybe it's a high vision. But don't talk about those distant things, when my parents come, I have to take them to the hospital for a good check-up. ”
"They've been in poor health, and they don't know what's wrong."
"It's not going to be too much of a problem, maybe it's overwork."
Bao Qi comforted, and this slightly heavy topic was quickly skipped away.
Everyone is thinking about life after the reunion, not only in the positive aspects, but also in terms of how to explain and persuade if their family members oppose their continued work as mercenaries.
The atmosphere at the dinner table is extremely harmonious, and the topic of "family" naturally has a sense of warmth.
Chen Shen also had a smile on his face, but soon, this sense of warmth was broken by a sudden phone call.
It was Lin He who called.
He gave back the latest information.
And the content of the intelligence, only a few sentences:
"The No. 2 family is not there, the house is empty, and it is said that he left with Peng Jiasheng."
"There are only two people left on No. 1, and my sister and grandma are still alive."
"Number 3."
"No, it is said that he died a few months ago."
Chen Shen subconsciously looked at Shi Dakai, and a trace of irrepressible anger flashed in the latter's eyes.
Although everyone was prepared for the worst from the moment they fled, there was still some hope in the past six months.
They all felt that as long as they were outside, as long as Bai Suocheng didn't see the bodies of the four people, then they were concerned about the combat effectiveness of the four of them in that battle, and then considered the uncontrollable consequences caused by the "bad for their families".
On the whole, if Bai Suocheng had a brain, he would probably not touch the family members of the three people.
But now, when the coldest and most realistic results are in front of everyone, everything has changed.
Chen Shen took a deep breath and said:
"I'm sorry, me."
"Commander, don't say it."
Shi Dakai immediately interrupted him and continued:
"If I stay in Kokang, I will definitely die. I'm dead, and my family can't live. ”
"It's not your fault, our choice is not wrong."
"It's all in vain that's wrong."
"Just let him pay for his life."
