Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1257 Chang'an Fortress (Second update, please subscribe)

Three years!

When the colonel and his men were arrested by agents from the Narcotics Enforcement Administration, Meng Nongfei stood next to the jeep, smoking silently.

A mission that lasted three years has finally come to an end.

In the past three years, he transformed himself into a member of the Black Gang, getting close to the colonel little by little, gaining his trust, and then catching him in one fell swoop.

Now, the mission is finally completed. I can go home.

At this time, a major from the Shan State Narcotics Control Bureau came up to him and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Meng. If it weren't for your help, I don't know when I could take him down."

Whether they were majors or anti-drug commandos, they all wore Nanyang-style combat uniforms with bulletproof plates inserted into their tactical vests.
Of course, their weapons are a bit outdated - most of them are M1 carbines, and judging from the 30-round magazines they use, they should have been converted into M2 carbines, which are also the most common weapons of the Nanyang police. They are all discarded by the army, and only a very small number of people use AR15.

These standard Nanyang-style weapons and equipment were certainly not provided by Nanyang. Well, perhaps they were picked up by accident in the rain forest.

"Cooperate with each other!"

Meng Nongfei smiled, glanced at the colonel and his subordinates, and asked:
"where are they?"

"Prosecute according to the law!"

The major smiled and said:

"How about it, Mr. Meng? Now that your mission is completed, do you want to stay here for a few days? By the way, if you go north along the road for a few days, you will reach the border. If you are interested, you can go there to have some fun."

Going to the border?
Meng Nongfei was stunned. Seeing this, the major said:
"You don't have to worry about security issues. There are UN peacekeeping forces stationed in the border area now. There will definitely not be any security issues."

The UN peacekeeping force was stationed in Shan State to prevent a "humanitarian crisis". This peacekeeping force, composed of troops from Southeast Asia, Siam, Malaya, Singapore, and even Saigon and the Philippines, was stationed in the name of the United Nations. It was also the way the United Nations resolved the "Shan State crisis".

Although the deployment of the peacekeeping force has aroused dissatisfaction and even anger in Myanmar and other countries, it has eased the tension in the region to a certain extent, fundamentally preventing the further deterioration of the regional crisis and, of course, avoiding the intervention of other countries.

Looking towards the north, Meng Nongfei shook his head and said:

"Well, let's talk about it later! There will definitely be opportunities in the future. Now, I just want to go home quickly."

Going home, for Meng Nongfei, nothing is more important than going home. But even so, when he left, he couldn't help but look towards the north, which was the closest place to Tangshan - only separated by a boundary marker.

……

It was raining heavily outside the car. There has always been a lot of rain in Nanyang. Because of the heavy rain, most of the apartments in Nanyang do not have a first floor. The first floor is often used as a parking lot.

However, in urban areas, high-rise buildings definitely have underground parking lots. Those parking lots are also used as civil defense fortifications and are often built extremely solidly because of the need to prevent nuclear war.

This point is fully demonstrated in the underground parking lot of the National Police Headquarters. Every time he drives into the parking lot, Meng Nongfei, who has experienced the bombing of the temporary capital, feels particularly touched when he sees the words "Emergency Shelter" posted on the thick load-bearing columns!
Not far away, there is an emergency material warehouse that is only opened in emergencies. It contains biscuits, medicines, generators, deep well pumping equipment with filtration devices, and even weapons.

In fact, this is the truest side of Nanyang - behind the apparent peace, people are actually carefully preparing for war.

In other words, guard against the invasion of unknown enemies!

After parking the car, Meng Nongfei walked into the elevator. When he entered the elevator, the thick walls gave him an illusion - as if he was in a fortress.

In fact, the National Police Headquarters is a fortress, and all official buildings in Nanyang are, to some extent, fortress-like buildings. The German architectural engineers who came to Nanyang after the collapse of the empire brought the Bauhaus architectural style to Nanyang as well as the lessons of the end of the empire.

For example, public buildings should, to a certain extent, assume the responsibility of wartime shelters. The near-devastating bombing of German cities by British and American bombers made German engineers fully aware of the cruelty of modern warfare.

As a result, the National Police Headquarters became a veritable fortress. To a certain extent, it is a modern version of the German anti-aircraft tower in World War II. There is no window on the 169-meter-high building. This is a lesson learned from the anti-aircraft tower. In Berlin, although all the firepower of the Soviet army, including the "Stalin Hammer" 203mm heavy howitzer, could not cause effective damage to the battle tower, it could destroy its windows. Therefore, when engineers designed it, they cancelled the windows. It stores enough water, food and fuel for 5000 people to survive for two weeks, and its strength is so high that it can even withstand the impact of a nuclear explosion.

The National Police Headquarters is equipped with independent power supply, water supply systems and supporting living facilities. In addition to large-scale bomb shelters and soldier accommodation areas for civilians to avoid air raids, it also contains hospitals, restaurants, storage rooms, laboratories, radio broadcasting stations, command centers, ammunition depots, power plants, water plants, etc. In times of war, these public buildings can not only provide shelter for tens of thousands of people, but also can conduct independent battles as a small city.

Of course, the National Police Headquarters is the most unique building among all the buildings in Nanyang.

For this reason, Meng Nongfei and others all used "fortress" instead of the National Police Headquarters. When the elevator stopped on the third floor, Meng Nongfei stepped out of the elevator and saw a familiar scene in front of him. The light green nameplate on the porch was covered with green carpet and green walls. The entire corridor looked as dark as before.

Although the ventilation ensured that there was no smell, there was still a whiff of laboratory reagents and cigarette smoke. Twenty frosted glass doors lined the corridor. Here were the officers' offices, large open offices that could serve as small arsenals in wartime.

Some doors were half open, and from inside came the clacking of typewriters or the ringing of telephones.

Soon, Meng Nongfei arrived at the familiar office.

As soon as he entered the office, Lu Wei warmly invited him to sit down.

"Sit down. Coffee?"

"OK, thanks"

There is a coffee machine in the corridor, a very rare automatic coffee machine, which is said to be very popular in the United States.

"Look at these fucking pictures. Man, they're cool!"

At this moment, another voice came from a room in the corridor behind him. It was an agent from the Special Crimes Department.

"She knows every damn thing. She should come work for us."

Listening to the noise coming from outside, Lu Wei frowned, then closed the door and asked:
"Why didn't you play there for a few days?"

Meng Nongfei replied: "There was nothing to do, so I came back."

"Yeah, there's nothing fun there."

Cao Wei smiled and said:

"You completed your mission very well this time. The Narcotics Control Bureau seized more than 80 tons of duck slices. The colonel is the largest drug dealer in the area. After he is defeated, the rest will be a piece of cake. As long as we strike hard, the source of drugs in Shan State will be basically cleared in two to three years at most."

Looking at the trusted general in front of him, Cao Wei said:

"The top brass at the General Administration are also very satisfied with your performance. If nothing else, you will be promoted in half a month at most."

This is all expected. Nanyang has always had a zero-tolerance policy towards drug abuse. As early as the early days of the country's founding, it promulgated an anti-drug law and used strict laws to ban drugs.

After the Siam incident, multinational drug control agencies were established to jointly fight against drugs in border areas. It was precisely because of the high-pressure situation that unique products such as duck slices became extinct not only in Southeast Asia, but also in Siam, Malaysia, Singapore and other places.

Anti-drug police officers are also promoted very quickly. For a long-term undercover police officer like him, it is unrealistic to be promoted three levels after one mission, but two levels is not a problem.

"Thank you for your cultivation, Captain."

"It's not training, it's all what you deserve. Next, you need to make some adjustments. After all, being in the bureau is different from being an undercover agent. Just adapt to your new job."

"Yes, Captain."

Then, Meng Nongfei asked.

"Captain, I have a question."

"you say,"

"You know, we have zero tolerance for drugs, and we are not afraid to carry out cross-border crackdowns. However, we also know that drugs such as marijuana and narcotics are extremely rampant in Saigon. Why don't we help Saigon and prevent them from spreading further and threatening Nanyang?"

The reason why Meng Nongfei had such doubts was that on the issue of drug control, Nanyang advocated - preventive measures before the problem arises and cross-border strikes. In a word, it means keeping the enemy out of the country and eliminating the problem at its root.

Because the Shan State area is the largest production area, the intelligence department will enter in advance and then eliminate the local drug source through joint drug control. Whether in Malaysia or Singapore, Nanyang has extensive cooperation to assist them in drug eradication to ensure that the drug will not spread to Nanyang.

The only exception is Saigon.

"Because that's American territory."

Cao Wei said:

"We can't intervene too much there. After all, we have to consider the feelings of the Americans. Moreover, compared to drug control, the most important issue there is security. So even if we take the initiative to cooperate, it will end up in nothing. After all, the situation there is getting more and more tense. The guerrillas have even launched attacks in Saigon many times. Under such circumstances, no one will care about drug control."

As he spoke, Cao Wei took out two cigarettes from the cigarette box, handed one to Meng Nongfei, lit it, took a puff and said:
"In fact, this is also the biggest problem we face. We may be able to build a fortress, but what about outside the fortress? Various dangers are everywhere. We..."

He glanced at the picture frame hanging on the wall. It was a picture drawn by a kindergarten child. In the picture, a family was playing. After taking a look, Cao Wei took a deep puff of his cigarette and said:
“No matter what happens in the outside world, all we need is to do our best to build our Nanyang into a fortress, just like a “fortress”, where everyone can live safely and happily!”
