I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Chen returned to the office building of Dongfeng PMC on time, preparing to receive the business manager from Qingshan Group.

In fact, the person who came to negotiate this time was not a "business manager" in the true sense, but the "security captain" of Qingshan Group.

Of course, the security here is different from the security in the general sense. It should be said that he is the director of the "Security Department" of Qingshan Group.

There is no doubt that he is from the north and is also a typical veteran. When Chen Chen saw him, this man who was over 40 years old was sitting upright on the sofa, holding a cup of tea in his hand, chatting with Bao Qi opposite him.

His sitting posture made Chen Chen involuntarily have the urge to call him "Old Squad Leader", but Chen Chen also knew that due to the sensitivity of the intelligence and mission, Xiaoyu did not actually reveal his specific identity to the Qingshan Group. So he can't act too relaxed.

Therefore, Chen Chen just nodded politely, and then introduced himself:

"Hello, I am Chen Chen, the general manager of EW Company."

"I have been invited to participate in the follow-up security work of Qingshan Group in Sulawesi. Someone should have communicated with you."

"Our main task today is to sign the contract, but there shouldn't be any more details that need to be communicated, right?"

In fact, Xiaoyu had already negotiated most of the things that needed to be discussed for Chen Chen. According to his understanding, if Qingshan Group sent someone over today, the most they could do was sign a contract, meet in person, and then make arrangements. Good follow-up transportation plan, it’s over.

And just as he expected, the man opposite him nodded immediately and then replied:

"There is nothing else to communicate. I am here to sign the contract with you."

"By the way, my name is Wang Qi, and I am the director of the Security Department of Qingshan Group."

"I will be responsible for communicating with you in the future and making arrangements for your work tasks."

"However, according to the information I received, you have priority in decision-making on operations, and our Security Department is only responsible for cooperation."

"So, if you have any needs, you can put them forward in advance and we will try our best to meet them."

After hearing his words, Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction.

This attitude is so right.

He was originally worried that under a very small chance, the director named Wang Qi would feel that his job had been robbed and his bonus budget had been taken away by others, so he would be dissatisfied with him, look down on him, or even trip him up. But obviously, this did not happen.

From the beginning, Wang Qi showed an attitude of absolute cooperation. They probably also knew that the risks that Qingshan Group would face next were definitely not something that "scrupulous" characters like them could intervene in.

In this case, then hold on tight and hold on until the end.

Anyway, it is the person arranged by the above who can be recognized by the group. No matter what his strength is, he must still be outstanding.

Looking at Wang Qi's serious expression, Chen Chen said:

"Our requirements are mainly focused on equipment. We need a lot of heavy firepower equipment, such as heavy machine guns, recoilless rifles, etc. Do you have any way to get these equipment?"

"We can't get it yet, but we are already trying to communicate with Sulawesi. They may send a team to participate in security work in the future. When the time comes, you can use their weapons."

Hearing Gao's words, Chen Chen frowned.

He can understand that this is indeed the best solution to be implemented in an environment like Indonesia, but the problem is that the best solution does not mean that it is the best.

After all, the equipment obtained through this method is still subject to human control. If there is any emergency, it will be too late to apply for equipment temporarily.

But it seems there is no other way now.

We can only wait until we get to Sulawesi to see what the channel Xiaoyu mentioned is going on, and then find a way to purchase equipment on our own.

So, Chen Chen nodded slightly and replied:

"No problem, let's just settle it like this for now."

"One more thing, how do you arrange our transportation to Sulawesi?"

"There is a civil airliner from Jakarta to Sulawesi. We first take the civil airliner to Sultan Hassandin International Airport, and then transfer to a small plane to IMIP Airport. The whole journey including transfer takes about 4 hours."

"Of course, after arriving at Sultan Hasanuddin Airport, we can also choose to take a boat or take land transportation to Rabota, but in that case, the time will be longer than the sedan chair, and I don't recommend it."

"The main reason is that the security situation of Qingshan Group is relatively severe now. We are worried about the risk of being attacked on the road, so we must shorten the journey time as much as possible."

"Has it reached this level?"

Chen Chen asked in surprise.

"Yes, the situation moved very quickly."

"According to the news I received, just three hours ago, Qingshan Industrial Park suffered its first armed attack. A group of unidentified armed men attacked the power supply station on the west side of the park, causing power supply interruption and also Two people were injured."

"But fortunately, these people didn't carry guns. It was probably just a tentative attack."

"But recently, the JIS and EIM forces on Sulawesi have been quite active. We judge that they probably want to cause something big."

"So...we have to be cautious."

After Wang Qi finished speaking, Chen Chen nodded slowly.

His expression was very complicated. On the one hand, he admired Wang Qi's cautious attitude. He was worthy of being in that team, and his basic quality was quite good.

But on the other hand, he is quite worried about the situation in Sulawesi.

You must know that in his memory, the activities of EIM and JIS are "cyclical", but now, it is obvious that they have not reached the period when they should be active.

But the fact that they started moving in advance meant that something had really changed.

This change cannot come from the Middle East, which is thousands of kilometers away. Nonsense, the demonstrations in Syria have only started for more than half a month. Even if these forces in Indonesia want to support them, it may not be a bit too early.

There must be a reason why they had to move.

What Chen Chen is most worried about is that their actions are related to him.

After all, it's such a coincidence.

I just decided to go to Sulawesi, and there was chaos in Sulawesi?

The Dongfeng Corps doesn't have Conan's physique, and it has never brought bad luck.

——

Even if it brought bad luck, it was the Dongfeng Corps that took the initiative to inflict it on others.

Therefore, this "coincidence" cannot be ignored.

Chen Chen had to think about the worst. He had to assume that he had been targeted.

If that's the case, it means that our situation is really quite dangerous.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen said:

"It's definitely dangerous - and if that's the case, it's even more dangerous in a small plane."

"The routes of small aircraft are very easy for the enemy to obtain, and due to the delay in applying for routes, they are likely to board the aircraft we want to use before us and make a series of arrangements that are not conducive to us."

"This is a risk we cannot afford and we would rather confront them head-on on the road."

"If we go overland, how long will it take to get to La Botta?"

"It takes at least 20 hours to go around the entire island."

".It's too far. Where's the waterway?"

"It takes about 15 hours, and you have to walk for another 3 hours by land. Moreover, the waterway is not safe. Sulawesi's control over sea vessels is very weak. If you are worried that the plane will be attacked, then in theory, go Waterways are more likely to be attacked."

Things reached a deadlock immediately. We couldn't fly by plane or by boat, and it was even more dangerous to take the land route.

In this case, Chen Chen could only choose the lesser of two evils.

After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"We can only leave by plane - but we need to charter a flight."

"What I mean is that from now on, charter the plane immediately, and then let the plane fly to La Bota and be under your supervision and control."

"Tomorrow night, when we need to use it, it will fly to Sultan Hassandin Airport, stop for half an hour, and then leave immediately!"

".There will be additional costs."

Wang Qi looked a little embarrassed. There was no doubt that he knew that the plan chosen by Chen Chen was definitely the safest plan. But the problem was that it was not him who paid, but his boss.

In this case, it is absolutely impossible for him to make decisions on behalf of his boss.

Looking at his expression, Chen Chen smiled confidently and then said:

"Go and communicate with your boss. Don't worry, he will approve the budget."

"The cost of chartering a small plane for two days is about US$100,000 at most."

"If he doesn't even come up with the money, then he doesn't have to ask us."

"ah?"

Wang Qi was stunned.

It's not because of the price of the small plane, nor because of Chen Chen's determined attitude, but because of the confidence revealed in his words.

Are you kidding? Qingshan Group is the Party A, okay?

No matter how strong you are and how tough your background is, in the final analysis, you are nothing more than a private business force.

Why does it sound like Qingshan Group is begging to cooperate with you now?

After a moment of pause, he asked subconsciously:

"Should I just communicate directly?"

He really hesitated - if his previous attitude was still "cooperation taking the initiative", then now, he clearly felt that the initiative in his hands had been completely taken away by the "general manager" in front of him. "Take away.

"Just make a phone call."

Chen Chen nodded and answered.

Wang Qi said no more, walked out of the door and made a call. Just two minutes later, he walked into the office again, with an expression of indescribable shock and confusion.

"Agreed?"

Chen Chen asked.

"That's right. Let me make the decision with my camera, and the budget will fully support it."

"That's okay - in addition, don't give up on our original transportation plan. Apply when you need to apply, and make reservations when you need to. Do you understand what I mean?"

"clear."

Wang Qi answered immediately, and at the same time took out the thick security service contract that had been prepared long ago. Each party took a copy and signed it like an assembly line.

Ten minutes later, all the documents were finally signed. Wang Qi shook his sore wrists, straightened up, and said:

"That's basically it. I will pick you up tomorrow. I will leave for the airport at 4 p.m. and get on the plane to Sulawesi at 7 p.m."

"Pay attention to the time and don't be late. Otherwise, we will have to wait another week."

"Okay - where do you live?"

"I will arrange the hotel nearby myself."

"You stay with us tonight, and we'll leave on time tomorrow."

"Why?"

After hearing Chen Chen's words, Wang Qi asked with some doubts.

"It's hard for me to explain to you, but I don't think we are safe in Jakarta."

"So, for the smooth follow-up, you'd better live with us from now on."

".Okay."

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Qi finally nodded.

Chen Chen did not waste any time. He took everyone out of the office, retrieved their luggage, moved in, had a good meal, and then headed to the villa area to prepare for the night.

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, Wang Qi also arrived at the villa area.

He was first shocked by the generosity of this so-called "EW Company", and then he was surprised by the simplicity of the interior of the villa.

That's right, it's all a rough house.

".You plan to stay here for one night?"

Wang Qi looked at Chen Chen and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, it is relatively safe here. There are many bunkers and a wide field of vision, making it easy to evacuate."

"This... this lady also wants to live here?"

"If she doesn't stay, someone will pick her up soon."

"Understood."

Wang Qi breathed a long sigh of relief and then said:

"How do I feel that the problems you are facing are actually more serious than those of Qingshan Group?"

"I really don't understand why you are responsible for our security work."

This time it was Chen Chen's turn to be dumbfounded.

Considering his glorious record, Xiaoyu didn’t say anything about it! ——

No, it should have been said, but it doesn’t need to spread to Wang Qi’s level.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen replied:

"The reasons are quite complicated, but since you don't know, there's no need to understand."

"Have a good rest and sleep for one night. Tomorrow, we will go directly to the airport and wait."

"no problem."

Wang Qi answered decisively, and then asked:

"Where is the night guard? Do you need to make arrangements?"

"We have arranged three shifts, two mobile sentries and two sentries, which should be enough."

"Brother, which part did you retire from?"

".Don't pry."

Chen Chen waved his hand, and at this moment, a call from the Li Gang at the outermost sentry point suddenly came from his radio headset.

"Someone is approaching."

"They were probably coming for us, but they were stopped by the security guards."

"He's getting ready to leave. Do you want to follow?"

Chen Chen immediately became nervous. He looked at Bao Xiaomei, and Bao Xiaomei shook her head at him.

Not Bao Xiaomei's person.

Then

“There must be something wrong”

"Group 1 follows alternately, group 2 goes around to block the street to the west, group 3 follows me and intercepts him!"
