Chapter 361 Rescue
Chen Chen never expected that MPRI's failure in Kruno would have such a serious chain reaction.
——
But think about it, if the previous incident with Bashir can be explained as "internal corruption" with some blunt reason, then as soon as the Kruno incident came out, the military has almost confirmed that it colluded with external forces. A treasonous attempt to seize power.
It’s not their fault, nor is it the president’s fault.
Therefore, the struggle will inevitably intensify again, and the fact that they were able to suppress it for more than three days without immediate riots is already the limit of what this country's power structure can do.
Internal silencing and external bribery are bound to happen. It’s no wonder Xiaoyu described the situation as “chaos.”
And this is indeed the case.
Only 5 minutes after Xiaoyu's call, Chen Chen, who was leading the team to prepare, received the latest news from Gunawan.
There was a confrontation between the police in Kendari and Task Force 88. The mobile brigade was almost divided into two, and they participated in the camps of both sides of the confrontation.
The reason for their confrontation was extremely ridiculous, just to compete for the "right to handle the case" of the La Botta bombing.
Task Force 88 questioned the police's slow progress, while the police questioned the loyalty of Task Force 88.
I have to say, this is simply child's play.
If you, Task Force 88, really wanted to arrest people, would you still wait until this time?
What's the purpose of bringing the mobile brigade in?
To put it bluntly, don’t you just want to interfere with the police process?
Moreover, the initial idea of Task Force 88 was not a "confrontation" at all, but to directly contact the police's armed forces.
But in the process of their actions, one person played a very key role.
Massimo.
He revealed the news to the police about the upcoming operation of Task Force 88, buying the police time to prepare.
If it weren't for his piece of information, the police would most likely have fallen into complete passivity. After that, Task Force 88 would definitely target Chen Chen's Dongfeng Corps. Even if they didn't launch a direct attack, they would definitely restrict their actions!
By that time, it would be completely impossible for Chen Chen to mobilize manpower to rescue Bashir and intercept the IS-K leader who was about to escape.
This was originally just a casual arrangement, and Chen Chen never expected that it would play such a role.
But no matter what, Dongfeng Corps still has a chance.
At this time, all personnel were ready. Xiaoyu provided more detailed information, but the two helicopters had not arrived yet. Chen Chen seized the time and gave everyone a pre-war briefing.
"Our mission this time is to rescue Bashir. The location is near Noha Village on the south side of Lake Matana. The specific location is not clear and we need to wait for further information."
“The helicopter we are using this time is an Airbus AC145 civil helicopter provided by a nearby Chinese-funded company, and the pilot is an ordinary civilian pilot. In other words, for this flight, the helicopter can only undertake delivery tasks, and to ensure safety, it can only fly Delivery from the outside."
"The delivery point is set at Tuna Farm 5 kilometers away from the target area. We need to find the vehicle ourselves or enter the target area on foot. Time is very tight."
"The enemy's defensive strength in the target area is unknown, but based on estimates of the total number of mobile brigades stationed there, the total number of enemies will not exceed fifty."
"The combat goal is very simple: penetrate the defense of these 50 people and assist the defenders in completing their evacuation."
"A group of four people went out for reconnaissance to find out the enemy's deployment and determine the specific location of the target."
"Groups 2 and 3 make frontal assaults to attract enemy firepower and kill the enemy's effective forces."
"Four groups of flanks penetrated, the camera established an evacuation channel, and evacuated the target to Lake Matana, where the seaplane took over the evacuation."
"After the evacuation mission was completed, all four groups met at the Noha Village Pier and evacuated to the southwest side of the Perabuhan Bridge by boat. They entered the jungle from the Perabuhan direction, passed through the jungle, detoured to Betabes, and finally took the Seaplane evacuated from Lake Towuti."
"Since the friendly forces and the enemy forces originally belonged to the same camp this time, the friendly forces will use light-colored cuffs as identification marks between friend and foe."
"But considering the tense situation on the battlefield, we do not require 100% identification of friend or foe."
"In the case of unrecognized situations, the principle of firing is: give priority to fire."
"All actions are taken to ensure the survival of the target, do you understand?"
"clear!"
Everyone answered in unison, and at this time, two AC145 helicopters landed slowly in the park. Chen Chen gave an order, and everyone began to carry equipment and board the helicopters one by one.
Everything was going on nervously and orderly. Shi Dakai walked up to Chen Chen and asked with some confusion:
“Why doesn’t the president bring Bashir to Jakarta?”
Chen Chen sighed and replied:
"Strictly speaking, this is not a miscarriage of justice."
"The president's thinking is that there are too many insiders around him. If Bashir is really sent to Jakarta, he might die inexplicably."
"Instead of doing this, it is better to lock him in a safe enough place that no one knows, and use it as a bargaining chip to deter the military."
"But he did not expect that the elite troops of the mobile brigade, which he considered to be the most loyal, would also be bribed - and that they would defect on a large scale."
"So, that puts him in a situation where he has no one available."
"No one can be trusted to rescue us. We can only let us, a third party, intervene."
Hearing Chen Chen's words, Shi Dakai shook his head and said softly:
"Satire."
"To be honest, this kind of thing is difficult to happen even in Pubei."
"There's no way, that's how it is in the magical island country. Let's get on the plane!"
The two quickly ran in the direction of the helicopter. A few seconds later, the two helicopters took off again, taking the murderous team towards Lake Matana.
The "newcomer" Liu Siyuan sitting next to Chen Chen looked a little nervous. Chen Chen patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Don't be afraid."
"When you go to the battlefield, you are afraid of death."
At the same time, on a mountain top outside Qingshan Park, Buck from Task Force 88 stood next to Ali, pressed his hand, and put aside the prepared "Stinger" anti-aircraft missile.
Looking at the puzzled expression on the other side, Buck said:
"This is a civilian helicopter. If it is shot down, do you still want to live?"
"Be smart about things. Someone obviously wants us to take the blame for this situation. What's the point of doing it without thinking?"
"Let them go. If they can really defeat the rebels in the mobile brigade, then they deserve to live."
"If it can't be destroyed, then we don't have to worry about it."
Hearing his words, Ali nodded thoughtfully, but after a moment, he asked again:
"Then what should we tell the superiors?"
"Explain?"
Buck sneered and replied:
"What do you have to explain?"
"There is no firing window, the target cannot be locked, and the opponent's speed is too fast. What's the reason why it can't work?"
"It's not that easy to be an executioner. You have to know whether the person you are beheading is someone who can be beheaded."
"Okay, let's go back."
"This is their business and has nothing to do with little minions like us."
"However, if the Dongfeng Corps can even accomplish this matter, then I am afraid that the whole of Indonesia will really be turned upside down."
"fair enough."
"Some things and some people here really need to be dug out and cleaned."
