"My helicopter!"

On the north side of the village of Noha, on the artillery position of the Assault Infantry Battalion, Commander Viranto looked at the falling helicopter in amazement, and the expression on his face was no longer enough to describe "shock", but "horror".

Looking back at what happened in that day, he just felt that the world was crazy.

He originally thought that the rebellion of the mobile brigade would be enough to take out al-Bashir, and even he felt that if this matter was limited to the scope of "internal contradictions", the military he represented would not have to end up, and his own safety would be guaranteed.

But unexpectedly, unexpected situations appeared one after another.

First of all, the will and acumen of the mobile brigade defenders were far more resistant and sensitive than he expected, and they actually detected the possibility of a rebellion in advance, and sent a distress message before destroying the communication network themselves.

At the same time, they actually relied on extremely limited weapons to resist for two hours, and even did not hesitate to use their own lives to protect the safety of al-Bashir.

How can there be such a person in this world?

In other words, how can there be such a person in the country of Indonesia?

Just now, he had caught the last two members of the two mobile brigades that had been used as bait to break through to the north flank, but there was no resentment on their faces.

It should be said that even if there is resentment, it is aimed at themselves, not the Dongfeng Corps that put them together.

——

Speaking of which, the appearance of the Dongfeng Corps is like crazy.

Helicopter parachutes, rapid assaults, rapid rescues, and dozens of police officers of mobile brigades with a dozen men were powerless, and they did not suffer any casualties even before the military intervened.

After they noticed the abnormality and began to order the troops that were originally intended to be used for the "finish" to attack in an all-out way, they actually carried it for more than half an hour, causing heavy losses to their own side, killing two tanks, killing nearly 30 people, and finally even relying on a piece of information to successfully deter their superiors, and they retreated!

Retreat with al-Bashir.

This is exaggerated enough, and even more exaggerated, even in the process of escaping for their lives, they took time out of their way and shot down their own helicopter.

Of course, fortunately, the helicopter that was hit was not "completely destroyed", but had to make a forced landing because of a malfunction, but his plan was indeed interrupted, and the pursuit of al-Bashir had failed, so he could only hope that Task Force 88, which was deployed near La Bota, would be smart and find a way to kill al-Bashir.

Thinking of this, Viranto shook his head slightly, and then said to the adjutant on the side:

"Contact Task Force 88 Buck and get them ready to intercept."

"If the seaplanes of the Dongfeng Corps fly directly to La Botha, they will be over La Botha in about 20 minutes."

"That plane had weapons on it, and it fully met the criteria for shooting down."

"Let them not worry about it, just hit it!"

Hearing his words, the adjutant was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation:

"But the request from our superiors is to intercept."

"Do you think they look like they can intercept it? Shoot it down! ”

Viranto's expression was a little fierce, and the adjutant still didn't dare to agree, so he could only lower his voice and continue:

"But there were civilians on that plane from the north, and they were security personnel from the Castle Peak Campus, and they had a license to carry a gun."

"If we shoot it down, it could cause a lot of trouble."

"Trouble?"

Viranto sneered and replied:

"What's the trouble? If we can't take them down, that's the real trouble! ”

"What happened to the people of the north? Do they dare to go to war with us here? ”

"At most, it's just a stern condemnation and a solemn protest."

"Don't think that they can change the world by creating a mercenary group, the world is still American!"

"The Americans' aircraft carrier formation is nearby, and when it really comes to the last resort, they will even be."

Viranto didn't continue, but his meaning was clear enough.

The adjutant nodded silently and said tentatively:

"Do you want to try shouting to intercept first? Or, just let them go back to Castle Peak Park first, and then we can find a way to ask for someone? ”

"There's no need for that, do you think they're going to hand it over?"

Wiranto waved his hand resolutely and explained:

"If you really let them land, that's the most troublesome situation."

"We had to put direct pressure on the park, and as you know, the Qingshan Park project was originally promoted by the president."

"If we really get to that point, we're completely torn apart."

Hearing this, the adjutant also understood.

It seems that Viranto still has concerns.

It's not true that he's not afraid of the northerners at all, it's just that he chose the lighter one between two equally serious consequences.

"Understood, I'll go and inform."

The adjutant immediately turned away, but only a few minutes later, he returned again, bringing bad news to Viranto.

"Buck refuses to cooperate."

"What are you kidding?"

Viranto was shocked, and the adjutant pointed to the phone in his hand and motioned for him to answer it himself.

Viranto picked up the phone and asked in a stern voice:

"Buck, what the hell are you doing?!"

"It's an order! I order you to shoot down that seaplane directly! ”

Buck's voice on the other side was extremely calm, and he coughed and replied:

"I'm sorry, but you're not my immediate superior, and you don't have the right to direct me in the strict sense of the word."

"I've made it very clear, I'm not going to try to shoot down a civilian plane, that's our bottom line."

"There were armed men on that plane! There are heavy machine guns! ”

"We didn't see it, and the most I could do was control it after it hit the ground until we identified it."

"Buck, you don't want to live anymore."

"Viranto, I think you don't want to live anymore."

-for-tat.

The two fell silent at the same time, and after a few seconds, Viranto hung up with a snap.

Then, he took a deep breath and said:

"We'll go by ourselves."

"The whole team, everyone goes at once."

"We're going to La Botha, take out al-Bashir, and eliminate this threat once and for all!"

"Also, notify the 'Holy Ship' and let them expedite their passage."

"The situation has changed, and we can no longer sit idly by."

"We have to get rid of all the hidden dangers and get what we need to do as fast as we can!"

"Understood!"

This time, the adjutant no longer questioned.

He turned and walked away, quickly mobilizing all the remaining teams.

It was a full 200 kilometers from Noha to La Botha, and that was why he dared to carry out his orders.

Still want to catch al-Bashir?

Stop it.

By the time we get there, al-Bashir will have already been transported.

This is the safest result and the best outcome

Meanwhile, inside La Bota, Argus's office.

Buck sat across from him with a calm face and spoke:

So, that's what we have now."

"At this point, the issue has risen from a purely anti-terrorist operation to a level of national security."

"There's no denying that Task Force 88 is a 'less loyal' team, and it's normal for you to be suspicious of us."

"But for most of us, our 'disloyalty' is limited to internal strife, and our country is never allowed to exist as vassals."

"The Suharto camp has taken too many steps, and in order to seize power, they do not hesitate to cooperate with even the most ferocious enemies."

"Our relationship with them has broken down-—— or at least, the relationship between the junior officers of Task Force 88 and them has broken down."

"I really owe thanks to Sukarno for his foresight, if it weren't for his insistence on putting Task Force 88 under the police system, this team would have been bound to Suharto's camp."

"Fortunately, we still have a chance to regret it, in short, this is our sincerity."

Hearing Barker's words, Argus nodded slightly puzzled, and then continued to ask:

"What happened to make you change your stance so quickly in such a short period of time?"

He asked this question very directly, and in fact, it was also a question shared by the vast majority of people involved in the matter.

The kidnapping of Crivoun, the Rabota riot, the explosion of Rabota, the explosion of Kendari, and the subsequent conflict in Kruno.

In the aftermath of this series of incidents, Task Force 88 did not show any significant wavering, and even, just over an hour earlier, they were in a state of standoff with the police.

And now, only an hour has passed, and Task Force 88 has actually died down?

The police in Kendari have reached a settlement with Task Force 88, the confrontation has ended, and even Barker, who was originally in charge of the JIS and EIM investigations, has directly found himself and unmistakably expressed his intention to seek peace and cooperation

It's weird, even weird, and it makes you think there's a conspiracy in it

And after seeing his expression, Buck also shook his head slightly.

Then he replied:

"It's very complicated, and I don't know much about the specific situation."

"I can only tell you one thing, what Suharto's camp has done has exceeded everyone's bottom line."

"They are fully prepared for a coup d'état, and if we don't stop it in time, our whole country, could turn into a huge joke."

"Why?"

Argus continued.

"How do I know? Do you think this is information that a small character like me can know? ”

Buck spread his hands, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke:

"But, we've heard a story."

"They seem to be accusing the president of creating a 'humanitarian crisis.'"

"Humanitarian crisis?!"

Argus was dumbfounded.

"Are you kidding me? The president creates a humanitarian crisis? ”

"If he's creating a humanitarian crisis, what are those JD guys doing?"

"So that's our problem."

Buck smiled and replied:

"That's why I say that our whole country, will become a joke."

"Of course, the efforts that we, you, and all of us put into the fight against JDISM will become a joke."

"By now, you should be able to understand why we're split."

"We took a small job and took a huge risk, but in the end, we actually got such an evaluation."

"For their own interests, for the sake of so-called power, they want to take away what we have, and they want to dissolve our only 'sense of honor'."

"I don't think it's possible for you to accept this result, right?"

"It's really unacceptable."

Argus let out a long sigh, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked in disbelief:

"These. It's all true? ”

"I don't know."

Buck shook his head and continued:

"All I know is that the split is real."

"Whether it's a split between the civilian government and the military, or a split within Task Force 88, or a split between different camps of the military, in short, it's true."

"The country has been thrown into chaos. The chaos shouldn't have come so violently, so quickly. ”

"But it just so happened that someone stepped in and accelerated the process."

"Dongfeng Corps."

Argus nodded in answer.

"That's right, Dongfeng Corps."

"It's really a really amazing team, it's like there's something big going on wherever they go."

"But that's fine."

"At the very least, they've brought us something new."

"So, they can't just be gone."

"Maybe in the coming period, it's our turn to give them shelter."

"If you can really think that, that's fine."

Argus stood up, stretched his body a little, and said:

"They actually survived from the hands of the 756 battalion, I really don't know how they did it."

"Heavy artillery, tanks, helicopters, plus a force of nearly 400 people."

"Such a team went to encircle and suppress more than a dozen people, but they couldn't defeat it."

"This will become a classic example of special operations, right?"

"That's not going to happen."

Buck laughed and replied:

"There are special factors for their survival, and it should be said that they have held out longer than the average team and waited for a chance to break the game."

"They didn't defeat the 756th Assault Infantry Battalion in frontal combat, they just survived."

"Of course, surviving is amazing enough."

"That's right."

Argus smiled and held out his hand to Buck.

"I think we've reached a consensus, so let's have a good time together."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Buck shook Argus's hand and said solemnly.

At this time, after crossing the jungle, the Dongfeng Corps had come to the southeast side of Lake Matana.

There, they finally found and "requisitioned" two civilian vehicles, which were racing in the direction of La Bota.

At this time, Chen Shen did not know about the major changes in the situation, he only knew that the military would never give up, and if he could not arrive at La Botha in time, everything he did might fall short.

——

No, of course not because he was going to fight the military in La Bota.

It's because only when you're there can you clearly express your attitude.

He had already informed Xiaoyu about Apache, about the commando, about Zabarana, and how to mediate next, it was their business.
