Chapter 164 Reality
Lin He left Mengka on March 3. He did not drive, but planned to go straight into the jungle when he left.
According to his plan, he would walk 30 kilometers to Mengyang, and then take a ride from Mengyang to Kokang to ensure the absolute concealment of his actions.
He was not carrying any weapons, not even a pistol for self-defense.
At this time, on the Kokang side, the Allied Forces, the Burmese Army, and Bai Cheng's so-called police force were fighting inextricably. But fortunately, the war had actually entered the most anxious "security war stage." Some people were fighting on August 27 The businessmen and foreign capital that had withdrawn after the exchange of fire began to gradually return. In theory, Lin He's safety could still be guaranteed as long as he didn't mess around.
After all, after driving away Peng Jiasheng, the first thing Bai Suocheng had to do was to restore order. It was impossible to kill all the outsiders.
However, before he set off, Chen Chen found him and said sincerely:
"You go there this time, and you have to do everything by yourself."
"You are smart, the only thing you need to pay attention to is not to go to extremes."
"Don't think that you are an abandoned child if you die. You have to realize that I spent a lot of money to train you. Your life is worth much more than one action."
"We don't want to fail, but if the situation is no longer controllable, we must learn to evacuate decisively."
"Or let me put it more bluntly, if you are caught, just reveal your identity and tell them that you are a scout of the Mengka Dongfeng Corps. The purpose is to find the whereabouts of the kidnappers for whom Huamei Commercial Bank has offered a reward."
"They won't do anything to you, understand?"
"I understand, captain, don't worry."
Lin He nodded firmly, with a hint of determination still in his eyes.
Chen Chen keenly caught this change, so he immediately said:
"Repeat what I said."
"If you are caught, identify yourself immediately and don't go to extremes."
Lin He repeated.
"I'm not talking politely, this is an order."
"Understood, Captain, this is not a polite word, but an order."
Seeing Lin He's reaction, Chen Chen patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Let's go, give us intelligence feedback as soon as possible, and wait for your good news."
"clear!"
Lin He turned around and left without any hesitation.
Looking at his back, Chen Chen suddenly had the illusion of flying a kite.
He still remembered that in his previous life, he had witnessed many intelligence and reconnaissance personnel turn around and leave like Lin He. Some of them could return safely, but some of them were disconnected and disappeared into the darkness forever. under the sky.
Which fate will Lin He have? ——
It shouldn't be too bad.
After all, this is not a difficult undercover mission, but just an exploration.
Seeing that Lin He had disappeared from sight, Chen Chen turned around and returned to the villa. At this time, Bai Gou, who had been following Chen Chen, suddenly said:
"I thought you would cancel his reconnaissance plan - in fact, according to the current situation, we can go directly to Kokang to conduct reconnaissance, right?"
"The bounty offered by Huamei Commercial Bank gives us enough justification. Now many mercenary groups are focusing on this matter. If they can go, of course we can go too."
"You are wrong."
Before Chen Chen could answer, Shi Dakai, who was also beside him, interrupted Bai Gou.
"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 path'."
"We have been isolated from Kokang for too long, and the information we get from the news and from merchants is not trustworthy. At this time, someone must go and take a look to determine the environment there, especially for foreign armed forces. manner."
"This will determine our subsequent combat plans and equipment arrangements."
"After all, Kookang is too far away from Mengka. We can't drive all the way there in the Predator."
Hearing Shi Dakai's words, Bai Gou nodded thoughtfully.
He vaguely felt that this reason seemed a bit unconvincing, but he didn't know where to refute it.
After thinking for a few seconds, he finally gave up. After briefly communicating with Chen Chen, he went to the Dongfeng Corps office building, intending to continue to communicate with Huamei Commercial Bank for new information.
Chen Chen stayed in the villa, looking at the map carefully and planning the route for the subsequent evacuation plan.
But just after Bai Gou walked out of the door, Shi Dakai suddenly came over again.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Captain, can we undo what we have accomplished?"
This question made Chen Chen's heart tremble. He raised his head and looked at Shi Dakai, frowning and asked:
"what are you worried about?"
"Same as you. In fact, the reason why you asked Lin He to explore the way first is because you are not sure whether our family is still alive, right?"
Chen Chen did not speak, but put down the pen he was marking on the map, stood up and closed the door of the combat command room.
Then, he sat down in front of Shi Dakai again and answered:
"Bai Suocheng is not easy to fight."
"At least it won't be easy to fight in the short term."
"This is not a question of strength. With their current strength, if we really kill him, it may be difficult to kill him, but it is definitely not impossible."
"Actually, the core issue is..."
"Over there, Xiaoyu."
Shi Dakai answered quickly.
"Yes, in the final analysis, this is still a 'toxic' issue."
Chen Chen sighed and continued:
"During the more than 20 years when Peng Jiasheng was in office, from 1986 to last year, 80% of Kokang's drugs were exported to the outside world."
"He is the real bold poison king."
"But similarly, starting in 2003, Peng Jiasheng claimed that he had started to crack down on drugs, and in fact it achieved certain results. Although no one can tell how far he has taken it, he can still listen to his words after all. .”
"The situation is very complex and very contradictory."
"This time, all parties are paying attention to Bai Zuocheng's attempt to lure thieves into the country, but none of them has made a clear statement."
"I don't know at all whether they felt that Peng Jiasheng was not doing enough in drug control and using gambling to replace drugs was not in line with expectations, so they wanted to try someone else, or whether the change in profit distribution after the drug ban caused Bai Suocheng to jump over the wall."
"So if we kill him, the situation will become very delicate."
In fact, Chen Chen didn't even figure this issue out in his previous life.
After all, he is just a front-line executive and has access to a lot of "direct" intelligence, but it is really not that easy to see the "big picture" clearly.
Therefore, he is not inclined to make immediate judgments now. After all, he has just come online. What if he annoys Big Brother again?
Killing Bai Suocheng is not a problem, but after killing him, who will be replaced?
You can't let the Dongfeng Corps send someone to take over.
I really thought that warlords could be casualties, and they could be promoted if they could fight.
The most difficult part of being a warlord is the distribution of benefits. If you don't have this ability, it won't take long for you to get up before you get down.
And it is absolutely impossible for the Dongfeng Corps without a foundation to have this ability.
Seeing Chen Chen's expression, Shi Dakai couldn't help but sigh.
After a long silence, he spoke:
"If it really doesn't work, just let it go."
"What I mean is that even if something happens to someone, don't reveal the news first."
Shi Dakai's tone was very hesitant and his expression was very complicated.
Chen Chen could completely understand his inner struggle and pain.
Your loved one died at the hands of your enemy, but for the sake of the greater good, you have to choose to endure it, and you may even have to shake hands with your enemy to make peace. What kind of torture is this?
But he is willing to endure this kind of torture and is willing to put the interests of the Dongfeng Corps first, which is enough to prove that he is more trustworthy than anyone else.
——
However, he was willing to do this, but Chen Chen couldn't really do it.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Chen said:
"We have to consider the worst-case scenario, but we cannot make all plans based on the worst-case scenario."
"No one knows where things will go until feedback comes back from Lin He."
"Perhaps, things are not as bad as we thought - after all, we are just a few ordinary deserters, and Bai Suocheng may not pay too much attention to us."
"Even if we have to deal with Lao Burma, just finding a few corpses is enough."
"Of course, if the worst happens, we still have to be prepared."
"Revenge cannot wait. If Bai Suocheng dares to move, we will kill him."
"This is our foundation. Once it is broken, this corps will no longer be able to sustain itself."
"As for that side, I'll find a way. There will always be a way."
"clear."
Shi Dakai nodded firmly and then said:
"Captain, what we are talking about today is between us."
"I know."
With that said, Chen Chen reopened the door of the combat command room and returned to the map.
"Now let's talk practical matters."
"The families of the three of you are in Muse, Gongtang, and Laojie respectively. The location distribution is relatively scattered, but no matter how scattered, our final evacuation route will be from Gunong to Highway 34."
"This is the only route that allows rapid movement, but there will be many checkpoints and checkpoints along the route, and we will even pass through the Lashio area controlled by the Burmese army."
"How to successfully pass the customs is still a big problem. It is impossible for us to carry out another jungle crossing because the physical strength of the family members simply cannot keep up."
"We must consider multiple situations and disguises, and we must also consider how to ensure the safety of our family members when we have to cross the border."
After Chen Chen finished speaking, Shi Dakai also entered the state again.
He looked at the map and carefully recalled the memories and experiences he had while living in that area. After thinking for a few minutes, he finally said:
"We don't necessarily need to pretend. In fact, I think that problems that can be solved with money can be solved with money."
Time passed by, and after three daily routine contacts, Lin He finally confirmed that he had arrived at Laojie and entered the area where he was scheduled to carry out the reconnaissance mission.
Although it will take some time to get the information, the news has already made the waiting trio excited.
Bao Qi's leg has not recovered yet, so it is impossible for him to participate in this rescue operation, but his enthusiasm is no less than any other person.
The communication of the plan almost never stopped, and he was always thinking about how to make up for the flaws in the plan and make it more perfect.
In fact, with everyone's full discussion, the detailed plan for the rescue operation quickly took shape, and even achieved a successful record in internal confrontation deductions.
This development makes everyone happy, and they have almost seen the day when the family will be reunited.
On the eighth day after Lin He set off, everyone who had finished their routine training sat around the dinner table, eating dinner cooked by Chen Chen himself and discussing future plans.
Even Li Bang talked a lot more.
".I remember that Brother Chen also cooked us a meal when we first arrived in Mengka. At that time, I also said, it would be great if my family could have such a meal."
"What kind of pepper and chicken, what kind of twice-cooked pork, etc."
"They are all farmers. The most meat they ate before was probably loaches, fish caught in the river, and four-legged snakes running on the ground."
"I wonder what their reaction will be when they take their first bite of food here."
"I wonder if my sister has lost weight. Without my salary, it will be even more difficult for the family."
"But I should still be able to hold on. It's only 6 months, so nothing major will happen."
After hearing his words, Bao Qi nodded slightly and then continued:
"Thinking optimistically, there shouldn't be any big problems."
"Don't talk about Brother Chen's cooking. When they come, I will have to spend money to build them a villa myself."
"Now that I am considered a rich man, it won't cost much to build a villa here, right?"
"It still costs 200,000 US dollars - it depends on how far you build it."
Shi Dakai interrupted to answer, and then said after a short pause:
"To be honest, I really feel like I don't have enough money to spend. More than 300,000 US dollars seems like a lot, but it's gone if I spend it casually."
"Maybe I have a high outlook. But let's not talk about those far-off things. When my parents come, I have to send them to the hospital for a good check-up."
"They have been in poor health and don't know what's wrong with them."
"It won't be a big problem, maybe it's just overwork."
Bao Qi comforted him, and this slightly heavy topic was quickly ignored.
Everyone is thinking about life after reunion, not only the positive aspects, but also considering how to explain and persuade if their family members object to continuing to work as mercenaries.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely harmonious, and the topic of "family" naturally had a sense of warmth.
Chen Chen also had a smile on his face, but soon, this warm feeling was broken by a sudden phone call.
The caller was Lin He.
He fed back the latest intelligence.
The content of the information is only a few sentences:
"No. 2's family is not here and the house is empty. It is said that they left with Peng Jiasheng."
"There are only two people left on the 1st, my sister and my grandma are still alive."
"number 3."
"No more. It is said that he died a few months ago."
Chen Chen subconsciously looked at Shi Dakai, who had a trace of irrepressible anger in his eyes.
Although everyone was prepared for the worst from the moment they escaped, during these six months, everyone still had hope.
They all felt that as long as they were outside and as long as Bai Suocheng did not see the bodies of the four people, then considering the combat effectiveness of the four people in that battle, and considering the unfavorable consequences of "unfavorable to the family", Control the consequences
To sum up, if Bai Suocheng had any brains, he would most likely not touch the families of the three of them.
But now, when the coldest and most realistic result is before everyone, everything has changed.
Chen Chen took a deep breath and said:
"sorry, I."
"Captain, don't say anything."
Shi Dakai immediately interrupted him and continued:
"If I stay in Kokang, I will definitely die. If I die, my family will not survive."
"It's not your fault, our choice was not wrong."
"The mistake was made in vain."
"Just let him pay with his life."
