Chapter 245: You're the Tiger

"It's hard to handle the Shadow Corps' affairs."

Mengka, in the living room of the villa, Shi Dakai sat opposite Chen Shen and said with a little "worry".

He had already read the latest information from Mulberry Leaf, and the information on the intelligence showed that the Shadow Corps' recent activities had dropped to the lowest point, and they seemed to have made up their minds to lurk in the most low-key way to survive this Jingdong crisis.

The most obvious manifestation of this trend is that the "office" of the Shadow Corps has not been in and out for a long time, and those locations that have been identified before are often infested by the Shadow Corps mercenaries, and they are not visible.

Mulberry has actually lost the monitoring of the target, although he is still trying and groping, but it is really unlikely that he wants to reconnect the broken thread.

All he could do was follow Chen Shen's instructions and try his best to get information about the "allies" of the Shadow Corps.

For example, the commercial houses they work with, such as the officers they often interact with, even the restaurants they often order, and the logistics and courier companies they use.

In Shi Dakai's view, this is actually just useless work of "doing better than not doing".

It is actually very difficult for the Dongfeng Corps to complete the decapitation of the Shadow Corps, especially to destroy its core command center.

It's not that the difficulty lies in the "fighting" itself, but in the difficulty of "not finding anyone".

And after hearing his words, Chen Shen also nodded helplessly.

He opened his mouth and said:

"There's no way around it, the opponent isn't stupid, they know exactly what the safest way to play in the current situation."

"Now that the lights have been turned off throughout Shan State, those who hide in the dark naturally have a huge advantage."

"After all, what we do to them is only monitoring, not infiltration, and it is actually very good that Mulberry can do this and judge that they are out of activity."

Shi Dakai nodded slightly, thought for a moment and then suddenly asked:

"If we had sent Jiang He over at the beginning, wouldn't it have been better?"

"Impossible, no matter how strong Jiang He is, it is impossible to complete the infiltration of the Shadow Corps in such a short period of time-—— even if it is infiltration, it can only involve some peripheral departments."

"Essentially, it doesn't change our situation."

"Indeed."

Shi Dakai sighed softly, and then asked:

"What about the corpses? Is there an article to do? For example, we took the initiative to send the body back? ”

"They won't take the bait, this time point is too sensitive, everyone is a frightened bird."

"Is that completely unavoidable? So what the hell are we. How to perform a decapitation? ”

Chen Shen leaned back on the sofa, spread his hands and said:

"Actually, I can't help it."

"Fighting a war is not only about equipment, but more importantly about information."

"What we lack most now is actually information."

"I propose a beheading plan, not because I am sure that I can do it, but because we have to do it in the current situation."

"But whether there is a chance or not is another matter."

"To be honest, I don't think the other side will give them a chance - they may launch a decapitation operation against the 7th Brigade or the 756th Brigade like us, but even if we can defeat their outer combat groups, it will not hurt their foundations."

"On the contrary, it may make them more vigilant and completely destroy that slightest opportunity."

"Then we'll . . . Can only wait? See if there are any new opportunities to emerge? ”

"That's right, just wait."

As soon as Chen Shen's words came out, Shi Dakai also fell silent.

He thought about it, and he really couldn't find any flaws in the Shadow Corps, and he couldn't think of a way to force them to show up.

"I shouldn't have fought Bang Long before."

He said thoughtfully.

"Where was this expected? When we played Bang Long, we didn't know that the Wa side was going to play such a big game of chess so quickly. ”

"Man cannot be omniscient, he must learn to accept the change of things."

Chen Shen's demeanor was calm, and his tone was also relaxed, as if the "predicament" in front of him was not worth mentioning to him.

Looking at Chen Shen's expression, Shi Dakai suddenly felt that something in his heart had also changed.

There is absolutely no doubt that he has always been a pessimist.

As a pessimist, the most typical characteristic is not "pessimism" itself, but the so-called "desire to control".

He wants to control everything in his own hands, he wants everything to move forward according to his own wishes, and if there is a possibility of risk in a thing, then he will do whatever it takes to eliminate the source of the risk.

This is paradoxical, because the "de-risking" approach he chooses tends to appear very radical.

However, this is not contradictory.

Because no matter how radical the plan is, it is essentially caused by that pessimism that cannot be erased.

For a long time, he felt that he was very similar to Chen Shen, the chief who led him all the way.

Both the way he acted and the direction of judging things were surprisingly consistent, which made him think that Chen Shen was also a pessimist.

Available today. He suddenly realized that this was not the case.

Chen Shen was just cautious, downright cautious.

But he is not pessimistic, he is able to accept his "loss of control" very smoothly and is extremely confident that he can get things back on track under any conditions that get out of hand.

This seems to be the real mindset when facing difficulties.

Is it necessary to be so pessimistic?

Could it be that the successes of the Dongfeng Corps again and again are not enough for them to form basic confidence in this team?

In an instant, Shi Dakai suddenly became enlightened.

Yes, there is no need to be so anxious at all.

What's there to be anxious about? We can't solve the Shadow Corps, can they solve us?

Isn't the "stalemate period" that Chen Shen exchanged for a few corpses not over yet?

Excluding all superficial distractions, the essence of things has not changed in any way!

So, really, just wait.

Patience is one of the most critical aspects of a hunt.

Shi Dakai felt that the haze in his heart dissipated in an instant, and even his thoughts became clear.

His brain was racing, and after a few moments, he came to a conclusion that he had never imagined before.

"We don't really want to defeat the Shadow Corps-—— we do want to physically eliminate them, but in fact, eliminating them is not our fundamental purpose."

"Our goal is to assert our dominion over this territory, and to use their destruction to deter those behind the Shadow Legion who want to get their hands on it."

"So. We're going to fight the Shadow Corps, but not necessarily just them. ”

"Attack it and save it, the coalition army's thinking is like this, and our thinking is also like this."

"I know what you're waiting for."

Chen Shen looked at Shi Dakai with a little surprise and said:

"Tell me about it?"

Shi Dakai took a deep breath and replied:

"You're waiting for a split to emerge within Jingdong, and you're going to put pressure on them from the outside to force the Shadow Legion's allies to defect."

"I finally know why you want to get involved in the 'big event' of the Wa State to seize Jingdong."

"Your target is not the Shadow Corps at all, to put it bluntly, it's Wen Beng, it's the CIA."

"I see. You're not going to fight them at all. ”

"You are borrowing the momentum of the coalition army, and you are still the fox who is a fox and a fake tiger, but everyone thinks that the coalition army is a fox and you are a tiger."

"You just have to tell them that if they dare to play their cards, you dare to flip the table"

"Brother Chen, you are really my brother!"

At this moment, Chen Shen was really surprised.

He didn't expect that Shi Dakai would be able to comprehend this.

This was indeed something he had planned a long time ago, but in fact, before Shi Dakai, he really guessed his intentions

Only small fish.

This is also why Xiaoyu repeatedly told him, "It's not your business".

Xiaoyu didn't mean to say that "it's not your business to capture Jingdong", but "it's not your business to flip the table".

The same reason why Xiaoyu repeatedly emphasizes that "you can only use and cannot dominate".

Chen Shen promised Xiaoyu and did it.

However, he always believes that when it is time to lift the table, it must be lifted.

It's normal for Xiaoyu to have concerns, after all, the style of flipping the table is too obvious.

But in the final analysis, she still left a "green light".

That is, to wash the Dongfeng Corps into an offshore company.

If Chen Shen really flipped the table, then after the matter is over, Dongfeng PMC cannot be Pubei PMC, but an international PMC group.

Only in this way can the harmless rabbit of humans and animals really throw the blame on other forces, which is an unruly "bad thing" of "flipping the table".

Because as Chen Shen said, internationalization means "out of control" and "decoupling".

The main line of everything has already been clear, but Chen Shen didn't mention it to anyone.

But now, Shi Dakai thought of it himself.

And, he thought of more.

"So. The small fish over there, already. Agreed? ”

"No, she doesn't want us to pretend to be tigers."

Chen Shen sighed and continued:

"But if we're determined to impersonate, she'll take care of it for us."

"Understood."

Shi Dakai nodded slowly and continued:

"So it's right not to use Jiang He to use mulberry leaves, because Jiang He is really not needed."

"We don't need to have too much detailed information anyway, that's enough with the level of Mulberry - his security is even higher."

"No wonder you asked Mulberry to collect the 'ally information' of the Shadow Corps, this is what you were waiting for"

Speaking of this, Shi Dakai scratched his head and asked with some puzzlement:

"So what exactly is the signal? Is it really waiting for them to carry out the decapitation? ”

"That's right."

Chen Shen nodded solemnly and replied:

"We must let the decapitation happen, because the Shadow Corps can't do it alone."

"They must need the support of equipment, money, intelligence."

"And all that support is provided by their allies."

"To put it bluntly, we're not going to arrest them."

"We let them fight He Bangxiong, and when they do it, we will do it whenever they do."

"The difference is that they are going to behead us. It's to be reckoned. ”

"It's not necessarily a decapitation."

Shi Dakai said thoughtfully:

"Liquidation, amputation, and adulthood, it's not them who are killed, it's their influence."

The communication between Shi Dakai and Chen Shen did not reach the ears of the third party, not because of distrust, but because Chen Shen felt that this kind of "conspiracy" that was too complicated did not need to be used to occupy other people's time.

Mercenaries, why do you have to work so yourself?

Just be honest and serious about fighting in the region.

As for the confrontation with high difficulty and high intelligence?

Just leave it to Chen Shen himself.

——

However, there may be one more choice in the future, and that is Shi Dakai.

His growth rate is really fast, from the most cowardly and useless one in the team more than a year ago, he has evolved into the most likely second-in-command of the Dongfeng Corps.

Chen Shen could be said to be quite satisfied with this, so he simply clarified the plan with Shi Dakai and authorized him to carry out the follow-up specific task arrangements.

This was a test, and Shi Dakai did not disappoint Chen Shen.

The plan he worked out was almost exactly the same as what Chen Shen had envisioned.

He first notified He Bangxiong to strengthen internal security, and asked him to immediately arrange a stand-in and hide himself to command remotely.

This is to avoid He Bangxiong's misfortune in the Shadow Corps' decapitation operation, and also to allow the decapitation operation to "go smoothly".

Secondly, he decided to strengthen the mulberry leaves.

With the help of a night feint attack by the 756 Brigade, he arranged for Bao Qi, Banshan, and Yang Shu to blend into Jingdong, and successfully lurked under the response of Mulberry Leaves, forming a four-person combat team.

Although this team did not have sufficient weapons and equipment, and the four of them could only make up two submachine guns and two pistols, Bao Qi, this kid, had obtained Chen Shen's true inheritance in making certain things, and Shi Dakai fully believed that he could use limited conditions to complete some relatively difficult goals in the future.

Thirdly, he used the information that Sang Ye had already obtained, made a list in advance, formulated a series of battle plans, and prepared to wait for the time to be implemented uniformly.

In the end, he asked Chen Shen to contact Bao Xiaomei, He Bangxiong, He Bupa, and others to start organizing public opinion propaganda to pave the way for some actions that might "seem unreasonable" in the later stage.

At this point, all the preparations have been completed.

All the Dongfeng Corps has to do is wait.

On the 5th day after the 756th Brigade and the 7th Brigade completed the deployment of Wantao and Palau, cut off Jingdong's external communication path, and completely completed the siege, the first wave of "counterattack" of the Shadow Corps arrived as scheduled.

The command post of the 756 Brigade was attacked, and He Bangxiong was rumored to have died, and then, the real man stood up and commanded a relatively large-scale "revenge war", announcing his existence to all forces and revealing the identity of the attacker.

Shadow Corps.

At this moment, all the conditions are ripe.

Shi Dakai got Chen Shen's order, and the Dongfeng Corps began to move.

There is a long list of names on the list, and according to Shi Dakai's plan, these names will all be crossed out in one day.
