Chapter 341 Linkage
Homemade explosives were found in the factory area, which is actually a quite obvious signal.
Because this means that the local extremist armed forces have actually been plotting against Qingshan Park for a long time, and they did not really start a large-scale attack on Qingshan Park after the arrival of the Dongfeng Corps.
On the other hand, using black powder to make explosives is also different from the JIS and EIM styles that Chen Chen was familiar with before.
After all, these two organizations have complex personnel and relatively high "technical strength". In theory, it is impossible for them to use black powder anyway.
Even if you don't use TATP like what you found this time, it's still very simple to get some ammonium nitrate-type explosives.
If that doesn't work, what if we just use the incendiary bottle or thermite?
Isn't this much more lethal than black powder?
——
There is actually a misunderstanding here, that is, many people believe that pouring out the black powder from fireworks and firecrackers and pouring them together can cause a powerful explosion as long as the quantity is large enough.
After all, there are news of explosions in fireworks and firecracker factories in this world every now and then. Judging from past reports, the power of the explosion is quite impressive.
But in fact, this thing is really not that easy to use.
When the yield is not enough, it is at best a "big firecracker".
The range of the overpressure area is very small. If it is not output close to the face, it is difficult to say how much damage it can cause besides hitting the ear hard.
Generally speaking, there are only three ways to improve the power of black powder: purification, compression, and granulation.
The difficulty of these three techniques is not low in nature. Although it seems simple, if you really want to do this, you might as well spend some time back in your own kitchen to do TATP.
The black gunpowder found in the factory this time is the most primitive crude black gunpowder.
It all adds up to less than 5 kilograms, which is about 1 kilogram when converted into TNT equivalent.
What is the concept of an explosion of 1 kilogram of TNT?
Let’s put it this way, if it is thrown into your living room, and you happen to be reading in the study next door, then after the explosion, you may be shocked by the violent shock wave, causing your chest to feel tight and your heartbeat to accelerate. If you are weak, you may die suddenly. No Those who are lucky may be injured by falling building materials.
But even if there is only a wall, there is basically no fatal possibility.
As for wanting to blow the house down?
Even ordinary brick and wood structures will not suffer too serious structural damage, let alone the steel-concrete structures commonly used today.
Therefore, it is really unusual to launch an attack with this thing, and it is even more strange that a detonating device is specially made for a large grenade. Although the structure is not exquisite, it is not crude.
Chen Chen frowned and watched the actions of the EOD troops in the distance. After confirming safety, he stepped forward to identify himself, showed the temporary certificate that Argus had applied for for him, and completed the handover with the EOD troops.
As a result, the "evidence" that was supposed to be taken back to the police station fell into Chen Chen's hands. In order to protect the evidence, he did not grab it rashly, but stood aside and carefully fiddled with the branches he picked up. Explosives were scattered all over the place.
Bao Qi and Shi Dakai squatted beside him. After a brief glance, Bao Qi said:
"Standard IED design, radio short-circuit detonation, seems to have learned something, but not much."
"There is no detonator designed for this thing. There is so much black powder, the detonation speed is not high, and the powder is not granulated. If it really explodes, it won't be a large firework, right?"
"It's very strange. You could say his technique is rough. He can make a detonating device."
"But you said he knows how to do it? The things he creates are not very useful."
"It looks like it's an amateur player. It's unlikely that it was done by professional technicians from the JD organization."
Hearing his words, Chen Chen nodded slightly, and then replied:
"Same as I think."
"I suspect that some of the peripheral members wanted to do something on their own and fumbled according to the teaching materials issued by the organization."
"He didn't have basic knowledge of chemistry and couldn't make complicated explosives, so he chose black powder."
"As for monosulfide, dinitrate and charcoal, the ratio is relatively simple. But it's possible that he overestimated the power of black powder."
"possible."
Shi Dakai also nodded. After thinking for a moment, he spoke again:
"In this way, we have been able to eliminate a large number of suspects."
"First of all, among the Chinese employees, those skilled workers and highly educated workers can basically be excluded. If they were to do it, there is a high probability that they would not choose such elementary explosives."
"As for the ordinary workers among the Chinese employees, it's hard for me to imagine what motivation they have to do such a thing."
"In other words, the suspicion still has to fall on the local employees."
"But the local employees have been cleared today."
Bao Qi said doubtfully.
After hearing his words, Chen Chen said:
"Maybe it wasn't put in today - I have to ask Zhang Yang to confirm the specific situation."
"The Security Department will conduct patrols and inspections of the factory every day. Maybe they will have new clues."
After that, he stood up and walked towards Zhang Yang who was waiting not far away. After a brief communication, all members of the security department, including BC personnel involved in the security inspection, gathered together and reported what they knew about the situation in turn.
Combining the information they had, Chen Chen found that he was indeed right.
There have been so many special situations inside and outside the park in the past few days that there has been a certain degree of chaos in internal management. In fact, this factory has not been seriously inspected for two days.
In other words, the manufacturer of the explosives may have put the items into the factory as early as two days ago.
At that time, it was the time when Labota was in chaos.
Could this be part of the original riot plan, just because the Dongfeng Corps reacted quickly and resolutely to quell the turmoil, so that the explosion originally planned inside the park did not happen?
The odds are high.
But if this is the case, it will be very difficult to find the murderer.
"It seems that your vacation will continue to be extended."
Chen Chen said in a slightly teasing tone.
After hearing his words, Zhang Yang nodded helplessly.
"There is no way. If explosives have entered the park, it means that our interior is not clean either."
"No one dares to continue to use the same person with such a dirty job."
"I'm afraid, we have to re-examine all local employees, or we have to recruit a new group of people."
Hearing this, Chen Chen's eyes lit up.
He suddenly remembered that he had actually discussed this topic with Zhang Yang.
——
Local employees are difficult to use, and Chinese employees are too expensive, so why not recruit a group of low-cost and easy-to-use people?
There is actually no technical content in the work in the mines, but the requirements for "hard-working and hard-working" qualities are relatively high.
That being the case.
Aren’t the common people in Pubei the best choice?
The only problem is a "passport".
However, given the current close relationship between the Bao family and Bagan officials, there is no problem in temporarily issuing a batch of passports if there are legitimate reasons, right?
When my group of people applied for passports, it actually only took three days.
After all, the more there are no rules in a place, the easier it is to "disobey the rules".
Thinking of this, Chen Chen coughed and said:
"How about I send you another group of people?"
"You want to change it for me? From where?"
Zhang Yang asked subconsciously, but he quickly responded.
“Bagan!?”
"Boss Chen, can you do this?"
There was a look of surprise on his face - in fact, in his perception, Chen Chen had always been a tough soldier. Just like the serious soldiers he had come into contact with, he was a master of fighting. Good player, but much weaker in other aspects.
Such people are generally not good at communication and business, but now.
Chen Chen actually said that he would bring a new batch of people over?
Doesn't this mean that what he did in Pubei was far from being as simple as he thought?
Looking at his expression, Chen Chen smiled and replied:
"As long as you want it, I can get it."
"You'll pay for the travel expenses. Although I don't dare to say how much I'll pay, it's no problem to get one or two hundred in the first batch."
"With that many people, the production work in Qingshan Park can basically be guaranteed."
"Pubei people also have an advantage, that is, they are closer to us in terms of cultural identity, so the management difficulty will be much lower."
"no problem!"
Zhang Yang nodded decisively and then said:
"Management of local employees is a matter for our subsidiary to decide on its own, and I can make the final decision in this regard!"
"The situation in Indonesia is too complicated now, and there are too many bad people among their people. It is better to completely isolate them!"
"Come on, do it!"
At this point, Chen Chen didn't act too eager.
He opened his mouth and said:
"But you have to think carefully. If it were Pubei people, Indonesia's employment problem would not be solved. How do you plan to compensate the local government in Sulawesi?"
"It is more cost-effective to give money to the local government than to these disobedient and inefficient workers. You don't have to worry about this issue."
Zhang Yang smiled slightly and replied:
"Many times, the so-called increase in employment rate is just a number on paper."
"We have various ways to influence this number. As for whether it is real or not, no one cares."
"What they care about is how much benefit they can get from these numbers."
"Understood. It's settled then. I'll contact you and we'll discuss the specific cost!"
After saying goodbye to Zhang Yang, Chen Chen returned to his office.
He had previously thought about taking advantage of this opportunity to tie the Dongfeng Corps - or to be precise, the interests of the Dongfeng Group to the Qingshan Park, and then look for opportunities for the Dongfeng Group's influence to break through Pubei, but he did not expect that, This opportunity came so quickly.
Transporting manpower - this is essentially the job of a human resources company, or to put it more unpleasantly, it is selling people.
However, there is also a difference between selling one's head and selling one's head.
I don't just want to make profits through the help of people, but more importantly, I want to open this "pathway".
Just imagine, what will happen if personnel exchanges between Pubei and Indonesia become normalized in the future?
The closed structure of the entire Pubei will be completely broken. Taking advantage of the general trend of the "Maritime Silk Road", Dongfeng Group, and even Pubei as a whole, can achieve unprecedented development.
The basic market is further consolidated, and if I want to go further, I will have a more powerful trump card.
Chen Chen did not hesitate. He immediately called Bao Xiaomei and Peng Xucheng respectively and explained his plan to them.
Needless to say, Peng Xucheng would never refuse a business as long as it was profitable.
As for Bao Xiaomei?
Even just relying on this business to connect with a "regular company" from the north was enough to make her tempted.
As a result, the plan was smoothly drawn up, and the two of them performed their respective duties and immediately started preparations.
Only half an hour later, Peng Xucheng called back and told Chen Chen that he had found the right candidate.
".I have communicated with He Bangxiong, and he plans to join forces with He Bupa to reduce the size of the coalition forces."
"This is a condition of the deal with Myanmar and a means for him to reduce unnecessary expenses."
"The first batch of disarmament will probably involve about 400 people. We can choose any of these people!"
Chen Chen was stunned when he heard Peng Xucheng's words.
Damn it, I just asked you to find me some mine workers, but you organized a bunch of militia for me? ?
——
Of course, in Pubei, the distinction between the two is not so clear.
But, after all, these are hundreds of militiamen who have received basic military training, have basic combat effectiveness, and can fight with guns.
etc.
Like this is actually the best option? !
After all, Qingshan Industrial Park needs certain self-protection capabilities. It cannot simply rely on the Security Office and Dongfeng Group to protect them at all times.
If given the choice, who wouldn't want an organized team in their hands?
At least, with this group of people, if there is a mass riot like the last time, Qingshan Park will have several more response plans.
Perfect!
A satisfied smile appeared on Chen Chen's face, and then he answered:
"No problem, you first do a preliminary screening to screen out those unclean and dishonest personnel."
"Then, contact Bao Xiaomei to get their passports as soon as possible and send them over as soon as possible!"
"By the way, where is the person I want? When will he arrive? What did the old pig say?"
After hearing his words, Peng Xucheng immediately replied:
"It's all done. We'll take off the day after tomorrow at the latest, first to Jakarta and then to Sulawesi."
"One more thing, our tanks have been shipped and are expected to arrive in Tachileik within two weeks."
"In addition, the armored vehicles purchased from Thailand will be shipped soon, and our armored force will be established soon."
"In terms of manpower, do we have to let the old pig speed up?"
"Speed up, speed up!"
Chen Chen replied without hesitation:
"Let him recruit people as soon as possible and train as soon as possible."
"Things on my side are progressing faster than expected. In a week or two, there will be a preliminary result."
"When the time comes, I will solve Indonesia's problems as quickly as possible and then return to Pubei."
"When I go back, I want to see a fully-formed armored company!"
"There is not much time left for you. The next time I return to Pubei, it will be the time to completely solve Pubei's problems!"
"clear!"
Peng Xu finally nodded.
Then, the phone hung up and Chen Chen let out a long sigh of relief.
This time, Indonesia and Pubei are finally linked.
Once Bashir's issue is concluded, he will immediately take action, further consolidate the established connections in subsequent actions, and find ways to open up Indonesia's "upper-level relations."
By then, Dongfeng Group can gain a vast market here.
And if you want armored equipment, you don't have to buy it secretly from Africa.
In 2011, Indonesia is about to begin a large-scale equipment replacement. These items that have been eliminated but are still usable should find a place to use their remaining heat.
Chen Chen remembered that in just a few years, they eliminated nearly two hundred AMX-13s that were basically still usable.
I wonder what a spectacular sight these tanks would be if they were brought to Pubei.
——
Or more radically, what if we could get one or two Leopard-2s?
By that time, there will be nothing like Wen Bang, MPRI, CIA, or Kachin.
Would you like to try one with me? !
