Chapter 369 Split
"My helicopter!"
On the north side of Noha Village, at the artillery position of the Raider Infantry Battalion, Commander Wiranto stared at the falling helicopter in stunned silence. The expression on his face could no longer be described as "shocked", but rather "horror".
Looking back and thinking about what happened in this day, he just felt that the world was crazy.
He originally thought that the rebellion of the mobile brigade was enough to kill Bashir. He even felt that if this matter was limited to the scope of "internal conflicts" and the military he represented did not have to end, his own safety would be Sex is also guaranteed.
But unexpectedly, unexpected situations occurred one after another.
First of all, the resistance and acumen of the mobile brigade defenders far exceeded his expectations. They actually discovered the possibility of rebellion in advance and sent a distress message before they destroyed the communication network.
At the same time, they actually resisted for two hours with extremely limited weapons, even risking their own lives to protect Bashir's safety.
How could there be such a person in this world?
In other words, how could there be such a person in Indonesia?
Just now, he also captured the last two members of the two mobile brigades that were used as bait to break through to the north, but there was no resentment at all on their faces.
It should be said that even if there is resentment, it is directed at himself, not the Dongfeng Corps who sided with them.
——
Speaking of which, the appearance of the Dongfeng Corps was like crazy.
Helicopter airdrops, rapid assaults, rapid rescues, and a dozen people beat dozens of motorized brigades of police officers who were unable to fight back. Even before the military intervened, they did not suffer any casualties.
After they noticed the abnormality and began to order the troops originally intended to be used for "finishing" to attack in an all-out manner, they actually held on for more than half an hour, causing heavy losses to their own side, killing two tanks and killing close enemies. 30 people, and finally relied on a piece of intelligence to successfully intimidate his superiors, and escaped unscathed!
Escape with Bashir intact.
This was exaggerated enough. What was even more exaggerated was that even in the process of escaping for their lives, they took the time to shoot down their own helicopter.
Of course, fortunately, the helicopter that was hit was not "completely destroyed", but had to make an emergency landing due to a malfunction. However, his plan was indeed interrupted. The pursuit of Bashir had failed, and he could only hope to deploy in Task Force 88 near La Botta can be smarter and find a way to kill Bashir.
Thinking of this, Wiranto shook his head slightly, and then said to the adjutant beside him:
"Contact Buck of Task Force 88 and ask them to prepare for interception."
"If the Dongfeng Corps' seaplane flies directly to La Bota, it will arrive over La Bota in about 20 minutes."
"That plane had weapons on it and fully met the criteria for being shot down."
"Tell them not to worry and just shoot them down!"
After hearing his words, the adjutant was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly:
"But the requirement given to us by our superiors is to intercept."
"Do you think they can intercept them? Shoot them down directly!"
Wiranto's expression was a bit harsh, but the adjutant still did not dare to agree, so he could only lower his voice and continue:
"But there were civilians from the north on that plane. They were security personnel of Qingshan Park and had gun licenses."
"If we shoot it down directly, it might cause a lot of trouble."
"trouble?"
Wiranto sneered and replied:
"What trouble can there be? If we can't bring them down, then that's the real trouble!"
"What's wrong with the people from the north? Do they still dare to start a war with us here?"
"The most we can do is stern condemnation and stern protest."
"Don't think that they can change the world by creating a mercenary group. This world still belongs to the Americans!"
"The American aircraft carrier formation is nearby. When push comes to shove, they may even..."
Wiranto did not continue, but his meaning was made clear enough.
The adjutant nodded silently and said tentatively:
"Should we try to intercept them first? Or, let them go back to Qingshan Park first, and then we can find a way to get them?"
"It's not necessary. Do you think they will hand over someone?"
Wiranto waved his hand firmly and explained:
"If we really let them land, that would be the most troublesome situation."
"We have to put pressure directly on the park, and as you know, the Qingshan Park project was originally promoted by the president."
"If it really gets to that point, we will completely break up."
After hearing this, the adjutant finally understood.
It seems that Wiranto still has concerns.
It's not that he isn't really afraid of people from the north, it's just that he chose the lighter one between two equally serious consequences.
"I understand, I'll inform you right away."
The adjutant immediately turned away, but only a few minutes later he returned again with bad news for Wiranto.
"Buck refused to cooperate."
"Are you kidding me?"
Wiranto was shocked. The adjutant pointed to the phone in his hand and motioned for him to answer the phone in person.
Wiranto picked up the phone and asked in a stern tone:
"Buck, what are you doing?!"
"This is an order! I order you to shoot down that seaplane directly!"
Buck's voice on the other side was extremely calm. He coughed and replied:
"Sorry, you are not my direct superior. Strictly speaking, you have no right to direct me to do things."
"I've made it very clear, I will not try to shoot down a civilian aircraft, that's our bottom line."
"There are armed personnel on that plane! There are heavy machine guns!"
"We didn't see it, and without identification, the best I could do was control it after it landed."
"Buck, you don't want to live anymore."
"Wiranto, I think you don't want to live anymore."
Tit for tat.
The two fell into silence at the same time, and after just a few seconds, Wiranto hung up the phone with a bang.
Then, he took a deep breath and said:
"We'll go there ourselves."
"Form the team, everyone set off immediately."
"We are going to Rabota, kill Bashir, and eliminate this threat completely!"
"Also, notify the 'Holy Ship' and ask them to speed through."
"Things have changed and we can no longer sit idly by."
"We must eliminate all hidden dangers and then complete what we need to do as quickly as possible!"
"clear!"
This time, the adjutant no longer questioned.
He turned and left, quickly mobilizing all the remaining teams.
It was a full two hundred kilometers from Noha to La Bota, and this was the reason why he dared to carry out the order.
Still want to catch Bashir?
Stop it.
By the time we get there, Bashir should have been transported away long ago.
This is the safest outcome and the best outcome
Meanwhile, in LaBotta, Argus's office.
Buck sat opposite him with a calm face and said:
".So, that's what we have right now."
"When things have developed to this point, the issue has risen from a simple counter-terrorism operation to the level of national security."
"It is undeniable that Task Force 88 is a 'less loyal' team. It is normal for you to have doubts about us."
"But, for most of us, our 'disloyalty' is limited to internal fighting and will never allow our country to exist in the form of a vassal."
"The Suharto camp has gone too far. In order to seize power, they are not willing to cooperate with even the most brutal 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."
"We should really thank Sukarno for his foresight. If he had not insisted on placing Task Force 88 under the police system, this team would have been bound to the Suharto camp."
"Fortunately, we still have a chance to regret it. Anyway, this is our sincerity."
After hearing Buck's words, Argus nodded slightly doubtfully, and then continued to ask:
"What happened that made you change your stance so quickly in such a short period of time?"
The question he asked was indeed very direct. In fact, this was also a common doubt among most people involved in this matter.
The kidnapping of Cleveone, the La Botta riots, the La Botta explosion, the Kendari explosion, and even the subsequent Cluno conflict.
After this series of incidents, Task Force 88 showed no obvious wavering. Even just over an hour ago, they were still in a confrontation with the police.
And now, only an hour has passed, and Task Force 88 has ceased operations?
The police in Kendari have reached a settlement with Task Force 88, and the confrontation has ended. Even Buck, who was originally responsible for the JIS and EIM investigations, directly found him and clearly expressed his intention to seek peace and cooperation.
This is weird, even weird enough to make people think there is a conspiracy in it
After seeing his expression, Buck also shook his head slightly.
Then, he answered:
"The matter is very complicated, and I don't know much about the specific situation."
"I can only tell you one thing. What the Suharto camp has done has exceeded everyone's bottom line."
"They are fully prepared for a coup. If we don't stop it in time, our entire country may become a huge joke."
"Why?"
Argus continued to ask.
"How do I know? Do you think this is information that a small character like me can know?"
Buck spread his hands, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said:
"But, we heard a theory."
"They appear to be blaming the president for creating a 'humanitarian crisis.'"
“Humanitarian crisis?!”
Argus was stunned.
"Are you kidding me? The president is creating a humanitarian crisis?"
"If he is creating a humanitarian crisis, what are those JD elements creating?"
"So that's where our problem lies."
Buck laughed and replied:
"That's why I say our entire country will become a joke."
"Of course, the efforts that we, you, all of us put in to fight jdism will become a joke."
"Now, you should be able to understand why we split."
"We took a meager job and took huge risks, but in the end, we actually received such an evaluation."
"For their own interests and so-called power, they want to take away the only things we have and eliminate our only sense of honor."
"I think if it were you, you wouldn't be able to accept such a result, right?"
"It's really unacceptable."
Argus let out a long sigh, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked doubtfully:
"Are these all true?"
"I have no idea."
Buck shook his head and continued:
"All I know is that the division is real."
"Whether it's the split between the civilian government and the military, the split within Task Force 88, or the split between different camps in the military, in short, it's all true."
"This country has descended into chaos. Chaos should not have happened so violently and so quickly."
"But by chance, someone stepped in and accelerated the process."
"Dongfeng Corps."
Argus nodded and answered.
"That's right, Dongfeng Corps."
"This is really a very magical team, it's like wherever they go, great things happen."
"But this is fine."
"At least they gave us something new."
"So, they can't just disappear."
"Maybe in the future, it will be our turn to provide them with shelter."
"If you really think so, that's great."
Argus stood up, stretched his body a little and said:
"They actually survived from the 756th Battalion. I really don't know how they did it."
"Heavy artillery, tanks, helicopters, plus nearly 400 troops."
"A team like this went to surround and suppress more than a dozen people, but they failed to defeat them."
"Will this become a classic example of special operations?"
"That's not the case."
Buck laughed and replied:
"There are special factors for their survival. It should be said that they have to persist longer than ordinary teams and wait for the opportunity to break the game."
"They didn't defeat the 756th Raider Infantry Battalion in frontal combat, they just survived."
"Of course, it's amazing enough to survive."
"That's right."
Argus smiled and held out his hand to Buck.
"I think we have reached a consensus, so let's have a happy cooperation."
“A pleasure to work with.”
Buck held Argus's hand and said solemnly.
At this time, after passing through the jungle, the Dongfeng Corps had arrived at the southeast side of Lake Matana.
There, they finally found and "requisitioned" two civilian vehicles and were racing towards La Botta.
At this time, Chen Chen was not aware of the major changes in the situation. He only knew that the military would never give up. If he could not arrive at La Bota in time, everything he had done might be in vain.
——
No, of course it wasn't because he wanted to go head-to-head with the military in La Bota.
It's because only there can you clearly express your attitude.
He has already informed Xiaoyu about the Apache, the Commando, and the Sabarana. Next, it is their business to mediate.
