Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 613 - 278: The 3.24 Incident (Part 2)

When Wa Xueming was mentioned, Gu Ji couldn’t help but twitch his eyelid.

Lei Wanshan continued explaining.

"Wa Xueming’s former identity was a retired worker. After being lured to Northern Myanmar, he became famous during the July 25 Kokang earthquake. It is said that he is skilled in close combat and has excellent marksmanship. He possesses professional tactical thinking and is likely to have received special training. High alert is required."

"Isn’t that the ’War God of Northern Myanmar’?"

Gao Bo muttered softly to the side.

He still remembered when they went to the Dianyun Border to capture Shao Liang. After the operation, the Dianyun police often mentioned this "Wa Xueming."

"It’s him," Gu Ji echoed.

Lei Wanshan had just finished speaking.

Li Ruilin, who had been silent on the side, finally spoke again.

"The Ministry of Public Security has issued an urgent notice advising against travelling to Southeast Asia, particularly Northern Myanmar, unless necessary. Regarding the March 24 case and the kidnapping of seven Xia Kingdom tourists, the Ministry contacted the Myanmar Government. However, due to the unique geographical position of Northern Myanmar, the Kokang Special Administrative Region is controlled by local National Alliance Warlords, making it impossible for the authorities to deploy forces."

"After multi-party negotiations, the higher-ups decided that our Dragon and Tiger Assault Team would send two groups to Northern Myanmar to cooperate with Myanmar police and infiltrate the Jinyuan Group’s stronghold to rescue the hostages."

As expected!

Everything matched the scenario Lei Wanshan hypothesized for the drill this afternoon.

An international joint operation, an unknown number of enemies, no support, seven hostages, and the only missing piece is the "Government Troops" role. But Li Ruilin also mentioned that Myanmar cannot deploy the local warlords.

But Liu Weijun and others pondered carefully.

Local warlords...

Could it be that the Kokang warlords plan to act against the Jinyuan Group?

If this is true, it will be enough for them to have their hands full.

Myanmar authorities’ inability to control local warlords means they are likely to indiscriminately attack, possibly eliminating not only the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team members but also the hostages.

This is extremely terrifying.

You must understand.

Even if the combat capability of the local warlord militias is not as strong as mainstream countries’ regular armies, their equipment is very different from that of civilians.

Just taking the simplest artillery and armored vehicles as examples.

A single shell could hit, and no matter what bulletproof vests they wear or bulletproof shields they carry, it would be useless. Even hiding behind wall cover wouldn’t prevent them from being blown apart.

The same goes for armored vehicles.

Unless they carry large-caliber anti-material sniper rifles, small-caliber rifles are no threat to armored vehicles, merely scratching the armor, not to mention tanks, heavy machine guns, mines, grenades, and other light and heavy weapons.

No wonder they insisted on conducting live-fire exercises before the operation.

If Gu Ji’s team underperforms, then they’ll likely have Team Two take over the task.

Li Ruilin wants these "newcomers" to take charge to accelerate their elite training and toughen them.

On the other hand, it’s also about preserving strength because deploying two teams in international tasks at once means if anything happens in Wu Province, Team Two can remain to ensure an elite special police squad is always on standby.

But, despite passing the live-fire exercises.

It doesn’t guarantee that they can easily complete the mission.

Fast infiltration to rescue hostages hinges heavily on intelligence.

They require a detailed intelligence network for precise command, whether it’s the Jinyuan Group’s internal force distribution, equipment, or hostage locations.

"I will now make an announcement."

Saying that, Li Ruilin picked up the documents on the table in front of him.

"According to the directive from the Ministry of Public Security, issued by the provincial department, this international joint operation is codenamed 324. I will serve as the operation’s chief commander, Lei Wanshan as deputy chief commander, Bi Xin as the frontline operation commander, and Zhang Wenjun as deputy commander. We will fly to Dianyun Nu State at 6 am tomorrow. At that time, the Dianyun colleagues will guide you through the border into Myanmar in secrecy."

"The Yunnan Province Anti-Drug Headquarters has been monitoring the Bai Family for many years and has placed an undercover agent long ago. However, to ensure the agent’s safety, we will not disclose their identity and contact methods before the infiltration begins. Once in Myanmar, the Ministry of Defense Special Police Unit will send people to receive you, provide equipment support, and authorize our side to use shooting rights under special circumstances. Is that understood?"

"Understood!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Li Ruilin glanced over all the team members’ eyes.

"I know this mission is exceptionally difficult. You have no backup support and will face attacks from both criminals and local warlords. But you are not ordinary people; you are the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team. I, Li Ruilin, believe you will hold on at critical moments!"

"Ensure mission completion!!"

The group erupted in a powerful and resonant response.

Only then did Li Ruilin nod in satisfaction, then turn to look at Lei Wanshan, "Mr. Lei, do you have anything to add?"

"From this moment, keep the entire operation content confidential. Before executing the infiltration, none of you should reveal your identity, or it will alert the enemy. That’s all I need to emphasize."

After finishing his speech, Lei Wanshan spoke.

Li Ruilin stood up, "Let’s adjourn the meeting. Rest early and recharge your energy."

Once the two leaders left the room.

The rest began reading the operation documents in the file bags seriously.

Bi Xin and several capable subordinates analyzed the details in the operation plan.

Zhang Wenjun also spoke to Gu Ji and others beside him, "What are your thoughts?"

"Zhang Zhong, do we really have no support for this operation?" Wu Kang is a typical academy type. For him, a battle without support is akin to a bloody fight at the East Japan Buddhist Temple, putting themselves in hell.

"Aside from the Myanmar special police, none."

Zhang Wenjun replied straightforwardly, "But just now Mr. Li mentioned that the Yunnan Province Anti-Drug Headquarters’ undercover will provide us with accurate intelligence, allowing for internal and external coordination."

Gu Ji squinted his eyes slightly imperceptibly.

He, of course, knew that the "undercover" referred to by Li Ruilin was the Chaojun.

Zhang Wenjun’s assumption was good.

Unfortunately, the intelligence provided by Wa Xueming during this period indicated that Bai Maoliang is very dissatisfied with them and has already become suspicious, stripping their power.

Let alone help, they’re struggling to protect themselves.

Otherwise, Wa Xueming wouldn’t be subtly asking him for support.

"Gu Ji, what do you think?"

"Ah?" Gu Ji didn’t expect Zhang Wenjun to call him by name and hurriedly pulled himself from deep thought, pondering slightly before saying, "I think for this operation, intelligence and timing are crucial factors."

"Timing?"

Upon hearing this, Bi Xin suddenly became interested and flashed a smile that revealed his white teeth, "Interesting, elaborate."

"I’ve briefly checked the power dynamics in Northern Myanmar before. There are four major families in Northern Myanmar Kachin, essentially controlled by local warlords. But after the 7.25 Kokang earthquake’s internal conflict, the Bai Family not only survived but wiped out the Border 1006 Camp. Since then, the other three families have been suppressed by the Bai Family."

"The Bai Family controls its followers through a drug named ’Paradise,’ available only from two people. One is Shao Liang, who has been captured by the police, and the other is Liangben, who was recently dismantled by Japanese authorities."

"So, having lost their core competitive edge, the Bai Family’s position is precarious. The three families will inevitably seize the opportunity to snatch their resources and territories. This is likely why the Bai Family risked sending people to Thailand for the kidnapping."

"So..."

Bi Xin suddenly took over the conversation, furrowing his brows, analyzing on his own, "You’re saying that apart from local warlords targeting the Jinyuan Group, the remaining three families will also get involved?"

"Yes."

Gu Ji answered firmly, "The Bai Family and the warlords will be locked in a deadly duel, putting us in a tight spot. But in a multi-party melee, it actually represents an excellent opportunity for our infiltration and hostage rescue!"
