Chapter 326: Riots
Compared to the foresight of the Makassar branch of Task Force 88, the Tsingshan Group, including the Dongfeng Corps, at this time, was still ignorant of the impending riots.
Chen Shen is testing a remote-controlled machine gun, trying to use these two pieces of unmanned equipment to set up a safe defensive area.
To do this, the remote-controlled machine gun had to be located far away from the core of the factory, but with maximum control over the entire area.
In the vicinity of Castle Peak Industrial Park, there are only two such locations, one on Polo Island on the north side of the industrial park's periphery, and one on the southwest side of the mine.
It stands to reason that the deployment of remote-controlled machine guns at these two locations would block all routes for "mass attacks", and even if those JD elements could bypass surveillance, they would only be able to approach the industrial park in a "human flesh" manner, and the impact would be limited.
But the problem was that there were no usable strongholds at either site, let alone the kind of "unapproachable" watchtower that Chen Shen expected to want, so Chen Shen could only find Zhang Yang and ask him to build towers, install power grids, and other defenses specifically for the two machine guns.
Zhang Yang's reasonable request for Chen Shen was naturally agreed, but just as they began to discuss the details of the tower and the layout of the power grid, Chen Shen's extremely familiar voice suddenly came from outside the office door.
"Bang Bang -ββ"
This is the sound of gunfire from a distance, five or six rushes, or AK47s.
He stood up suddenly, subconsciously picked up HK416 with his right hand, and at the same time stepped towards the window and closed the curtains, looking out vigilantly.
There is nothing out of the ordinaryβeven the workers in the factory are completely accustomed to it.
Zhang Yang was taken aback by his movements, so he quickly stood up and explained:
"It's normal to have gunshots, don't be too nervous."
"The police in Sulawesi are very weak, but the local religious conflict is very strong, and gunfire is common, and sometimes farmers in a county fight and burn down dozens of houses."
"As long as it's not coming at us, it's okay"
Hearing Zhang Yang's words, Chen Shen nodded slightly, but he still didn't dare to completely relax his vigilance, but gave orders to the team members scattered at various posts in Qingshan Park through the radio.
"No. 3, look for the location of the shooting in the direction of the gunfire and observe if there is anything unusual."
"No. 2, release the drone and conduct a temporary patrol."
"No. 5, go up to the tower to assist Dakai and see if there is anything abnormal in the nearby jungle."
"Number 1, prepare your reserves, ready to maneuver to meet the enemy at any time."
"Yang Shu, contact the security office, look forward to the personnel in the factory, if there is any abnormality, the camera will deal with it!"
"Master Chuan, prepare the medical equipment."
"Understood!"
Everyone answered in turn, but Chen Shen beckoned to Zhang Yang, turned around and walked to the monitoring room next to the general manager's office.
In the monitoring room, two large screens displayed the images of hundreds of constantly rotating surveillance cameras, and Chen Shen asked the security personnel in charge of monitoring to switch rounds, and after confirming that there was no abnormality, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe it's really just my own nervousness.
ββ
However, the sensitivity to gunfire is the talent of a mercenary who licks blood from the knife edge, you know, even in Pubei, in fact, there are very few such "unreasonable" gunshots.
Looking at Chen Shen's expression, Zhang Yang was both admired and ashamed.
You must know that the security department that I set up by myself should be said to be quite professional, but in terms of sensitivity to danger and action, it is indeed much worse than the Dongfeng Corps.
After hearing the gunshots, Wang Qi's subordinates simply confirmed the distance and ignored it, but what about Chen Shen?
They even flew the drone straight out .
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but compliment again:
"Boss Chen, with you here, I'll rest assured-"
"There's a problem!"
However, before he finished speaking, Bao Qi's voice sounded in Chen Shen's headphones.
"There is a large gathering of people on the south side of the park, and the location is the Daur Jihad Mosque!"
"I noticed armed men in the crowd who were maneuvering north."
"It may be the 4th who is coming for us, do you want to escalate the alert?"
"Upgrade your vigilance!"
Chen Shen replied without hesitation, he no longer paid attention to Zhang Yang who was standing aside, ran out of the office building quickly, and rushed towards Bao Qi's location.
Soon, from the footage transmitted by the drone, Chen Shen saw the so-called "gathering of people" at the Daur Jihad Mosque.
The minimum number of personnel was more than 100, and at least two of them were discernible to the naked eye with firearms.
They move fast, with the help of pickup trucks and scooters along the ring road, and in the perspective of the drone, they resemble a swarm of swarming locusts.
At this time, they are still close to 4 kilometers away from Castle Peak Industrial Park, if their target is really the park, then in less than 20 minutes, they will be able to kill everyone.
"Captain, what should I do?"
Bao Qi asked.
If this was in Pubei, according to the consistent line of action of the Dongfeng Corps, they would have already killed them with full firepower and wiped out the guns in the personnel one by one.
But the problem is that this is not Pubei, but Indonesia; They are not facing the "militia" of the warlords, but the "unarmed" civilians!
Even those who carry guns may be legally in possession of a gun license.
You went up indiscriminately, you really killed the wrong person, what to use to explain to the local government?
Chen Shen's brows furrowed tightly, he knew that the current situation was very urgent.
On the one hand, the park may be affected by crowds.
On the other hand, it is impossible for the side to contain the impact in advance.
Just like the question I discussed with Shi Dakai, this is a complete paradox.
Wait a minute.
Shi Dakai?
Chen Shen subconsciously looked at the tower at a high place, and at this moment, as if he had a heart, Shi Dakai's voice came from Chen Shen's headphones.
He said:
"Call the police, captain, call the police first!"
"It's none of our business now!"
"Let them fight with the police! When the police are almost dead and wounded, we will go and save them! β
"Also, let the forest go around the jungle and around their backs!"
Chen Shen was dumbfounded.
After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Zhang Yang, who had already chased him to Bao Qi's side, and said:
"Anyway, let's call the police first."
The situation moved so fast that in just 10 minutes, hundreds of people had gathered.
Chen Shen already clearly felt that this was a premeditated action, because even if the people were no longer rational, it was impossible to quickly organize such a large team without any outside intervention and without anyone to guide them.
The militants with guns were their leaders, and Chen Shen wanted to kill them with one shot.
But it is clear that the consequence of this will only be to "make the situation worse".
The entire Qingshan Park has fallen into tension and chaos, and the workers have all stopped working and gathered in the factory buildings of the park.
The sweltering and noisy environment made their mood even more unstable, and the security department responsible for maintaining order even clashed with small groups of workers several times, if it weren't for Zhang Yang's appearance and saying that he would pay everyone wages as usual and pay an additional subsidy, I am afraid that there would be no need for people from outside to rush in, and the interior of the Qingshan Industrial Park would be in chaos.
The 12 members of the Dongfeng Corps have been re-adjusted, and everyone is waiting in the direction where the crowd has gathered.
The guns in their hands are all real guys, and the bullets in the guns are also serious anti-personnel bullets, and in their hands, as long as the gun sounds, it must mean the loss of a life.
Chen Shen nervously observed the situation ahead, at this time, the crowd had already marched to the location of the gas station, where the road was divided into two.
To the left, it is to go straight to Castle Peak Industrial Park; To the right, you will continue along the ring road.
Chen Shen hopes that they will turn to the right, because that means it may be just a group event that is "not aimed at Castle Peak Industrial Park".
But unfortunately, the crowd rushed to the left road without any hesitation.
Less than 600 meters from the Qingshan Industrial Park, Chen Shen could already faintly hear their slogans.
Presumably to make it understandable to the people in the park, their slogans are mixed with Indonesian, English, and even a little Chinese.
"Raise wages!"
"Holiday! We need holidays! β
"Protect the environment!"
"Stop mining!"
It's messy, it's messy.
This is not a demonstration with obvious demands at all, it is simply a disturbance for no reason!
Even the slogans are not uniform, you can't help but make it too blatant, right?
Chen Shen sighed softly, and then asked into the radio:
"Zhang Yang, what's the situation at the police station?"
A moment later, a flamboyant reply came from the headphones.
"They have gone to the area of the incident to maintain order, but they have very few personnel, less than 20 people."
"Moreover, they don't have riot equipment at all, and they can't stop it"
If you can't stop it, it's right.
Chen Shen thought secretly in his heart.
What he wants to solve is not this time, but to find the person behind the scenes and eradicate him once and for all.
Therefore, as long as the police suffer losses at the hands of these people, they can logically "help" them to suppress the situation and obtain the "law enforcement power" with initiative!
So, Chen Shen replied:
"Understood, look at the situation first."
"Boss Chen, should we organize the evacuation of personnel first?"
"Chinese employees can be evacuated to safe houses first, leaving local employees behind"
"Don't say stupid things!"
Chen Shen interrupted Zhang Yang's words and continued:
"As soon as your people withdraw, the locals will be completely unrestrained."
"Do you think they will protect the property of the Tsingshan Group? They'll just smash and loot with those who make trouble! β
"Alright, stick to your post and stand where the locals can see you!"
"Don't worry, we'll take care of it."
"Understood."
Zhang Yang replied decisively.
ββ
In fact, even if he proposed to withdraw the safe house, it was not because he was cowardly, but really considered it from the perspective of personnel safety.
Now, since Chen Shen has already expressed his attitude, there is no need for him to be entangled.
It's urgent, and the big deal is that the fish dies and the net is broken.
Joke, do you really think that we people in the north are soft rabbits that can be handled at will?
When it comes to the characteristics of a fighting nation, even Maozi is not enough to see in front of us!
Thinking of this, the flamboyant expression in the factory became more and more determined.
He turned to Wang Qi, who was waiting on the side, and said:
"You don't need so many people here, you bring a group of 4 people to support Boss Chen."
"Remember, listen to him."
"If you shoot, whoever he asks you to hit, you will shoot him directly!"
"Understood!"
The crowd continued to approach, and Chen Shen's previous quick observation and decisive decision-making gave Qingshan Park a unique opportunity.
Even with the extremely inefficient efficiency of the Indonesian police, at this time, Rabota's officers had already arrived at the scene of the incident, set up roadblocks on the road in front of the crowd, and began to communicate with the emotional crowd.
At this time, the crowd was only less than two hundred meters away from Qingshan Park, and even without the help of telescopes, Chen Shen could already roughly see the faces of the two sides of the confrontation.
The crowd was indeed quite agitated, and the leader pointed at the officer's nose and cursed loudly, and the officer returned the color mercilessly, but in terms of momentum, it was clear that the police side had lost.
What is the saying?
The law does not hold the public accountable.
In the face of such a "reasonable" appeal from so many people, it is obviously quite difficult for a police officer to do so.
He can only try his best to persuade and block, but such a strategy can't stop the crowd that has "become a trend" at all.
Their confrontation soon heated up, and communication was completely ineffective, with police officers armed with blast shields rising up and waving batons at the crowd in a threatening manner.
They didn't actually hit anyone, but even if it was just such an action, it almost made the crowd fry.
The clash broke out immediately, the "radicals" at the front of the crowd pushed the police officers and kept retreating, and two police officers were pushed down and even trampled, and with the help of their companions, they finally stood up, and after standing up, they also began to bring a little anger.
The movement grew louder and louder, and Chen Shen keenly noticed that one of the police officers had already drawn his pistol.
In the crowd, armed men armed with rifles immediately pointed their guns at him, and funnily enough, the men held their guns while waving documents proving the legality of their guns.
No one really dared to shoot, it was just a deterrent.
But as soon as the guy took it out, the intensity of the confrontation was indeed immediately pulled to the peak.
Both sides shouted at each other to lower their guns, and at this time, even the slightest disturbance would immediately upset the fragile balance.
It's time to get your hands dirty.
Chen Shen took a deep breath and really planned to give an order, but at this time, Shi Dakai's voice came from the earphones.
"I'll come."
"Lin He, remove the silencer, aim at the upper edge of the blast shield and shoot."
"Be careful, don't hit anyone."
"Try to be. Don't hit anyone. β
"Understood."
Lin He replied in a low voice.
Then, there was a "bang" of gunshots, and the policeman with an explosion-proof shield fell on his back.
Everyone was stunned.
The crowd fell into an eerie silence for a moment, followed by a dense burst of gunfire!
It's time to fight!
The two gunmen in the open spot were instantly set on fire by the police and fell down, but the gunfire did not stop at all.
Because in the crowd, more militants with rifles poured out!
"Nima's! I knew it wasn't that simple! β
Chen Shen stood up and ordered:
"Kill them! Except for the police, just take out all the guns! β
"These people don't want to create a riot, they want to create a massacre!"
