Chapter 338 Correcting Mistakes

Chen Chen could not predict how much impact Bashir's "second arrest" would have on Indonesia, and when Xiaoyu confirmed that "someone had already taken the blame," he originally thought that the matter might just go away. Next comes the long, boring and tedious negotiation phase.

But he never imagined that after sending Bashir away, during the one-hour journey back to La Botha from Moravi, countless "big things" in the true sense had already happened.

In order to ensure that Chen Chen is aware of the situation, Xiaoyu delivers real-time information to Chen Chen every few minutes.

And every piece of this information can be regarded as absolute blockbuster news.

The person who stood up to take the blame was naturally going to die. He committed suicide and blew his head to pieces with a grenade.

In addition to him, a large number of senior officials of Task Force 88 were controlled. Two of them tried to resist arrest and were shot dead on the spot.

Helicopters from the mobile brigade were dispatched everywhere, and the entire city of Kendali was under martial law. However, the military, which was supposed to be responsible for guarding and maintaining public security at this time, was completely excluded. Instead, it was the first to receive the news and the first to order its subordinates not to cause chaos. Gunawan gained the trust of the moved, and with the authorization of the president, he began to dispatch the naval and air police teams near Kendari that had not rushed to La Bota for support, and assumed the heavy responsibility of martial law.

This is an Indonesian version of "Marine Police Coming Ashore". I don't know how many people will die in this storm.

But, this is just the beginning.

It is no longer easy to clean up the cockroaches on the surface, but the eggs that are deeper inside cannot be just "swatted" with slippers.

Perhaps, fire must be used to thoroughly burn the soil where the insect eggs are breeding.

It wasn't until everyone from the Dongfeng Corps returned to Labota that Xiaoyu's intelligence sharing came to an end.

Chen Chen's expression was complicated when he got out of the car. He had vaguely realized that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction.

——

This is even before Bashir is in the hands of the president, and the situation has already changed at such a speed. If the president, or the president's core team, really saw Bashir, it would have been possible to end the situation. ?

However, he didn't have a good solution for this.

The only option is to "leave the battlefield" first, hide aside, wait for the fight between the gods to be over, and then find a way to do something of your own.

Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh and dispelled some chaotic thoughts in his mind. Then he walked towards Zhang Yang, who was already leading the team to greet him at the entrance of Qingshan Park, and asked briefly and directly:

"How is the situation here? Is the backup plan ready?"

"Ready."

Zhang Yang quickly replied:

"Two small seaplanes are on standby 24 hours a day. If the most extreme situation occurs, you can board the plane and take off within 15 minutes. First, fly to a desert island near Obi Island, where you can replenish fuel and supplies. Flying to the Ayu Islands.”

"From the Ayu Islands, you can directly cross the border and fly to Papua New Guinea. Once there, Indonesia will basically be unable to do anything to you."

"However, this is the final evacuation plan. If circumstances permit, I still hope that you can stay in Indonesia and Sulawesi."

"Nonsense, we don't want to leave either."

Chen Chen shook his head helplessly and continued:

"But the problem is, none of us can predict how far things will go."

"There are tens of thousands of people on both sides of the military and civilian groups. If only one person among them is irrational, it will be a disaster."

"The mobile brigade has shown a radical tendency. The military can only retreat, otherwise, there will be a big fight."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. What do Argus and Gunawan say?"

After hearing Chen Chen's question, Zhang Yang replied:

"Gunawan has already rushed to Kendari, and the chief superintendent of Makassar is also rushing there. Agus is going to take over the investigation of Rabota Time."

"The police are now in a mess. They have too many things to do and are under too much pressure. The most troublesome thing is that they cannot rely on the power of Task Force 88."

"Argus said he wants to see you and has something to communicate with you. I guess it's about the follow-up safe asylum."

"I suggest you go see him later and put other things aside first."

"Can't let go."

Chen Chen shook his head decisively and replied:

"The situation is so chaotic now, the JD elements in Sulawesi will definitely take action after hearing the news."

"You said they wouldn't take advantage of the situation and launch a surprise attack while the police were deployed to Kendari. Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it."

"We must strengthen the defense of the park. The park must suspend production and take a holiday."

“Kick all the local employees out first and let them go home!”

"At least within a week, we must ensure the safety of the park, especially the safety of Chinese employees."

"Understood, I'll do it right away."

Zhang Yang had no objection to Chen Chen's proposal, because he also knew that the current situation was so tense that he had to activate the highest level of early warning.

What happened in Kendari was not a simple terrorist attack, it was a complete subversive conspiracy!

Someone in the military must be involved, and they must want to use this large-scale attack to achieve some ulterior secrets.

But now, their plan has come to nothing, and someone has even caught their weakness.

Then, the Dongfeng Corps, which is at the cusp of the storm, must be their primary target of revenge, and the Qingshan Park, which is closely related to the Dongfeng Corps, will also become a target of revenge.

There is no other choice but to advance and retreat together.

What else?

Throw the Dongfeng Corps out and let them deal with it alone?

Don't be kidding, everyone has been in the same boat for a long time. Now giving up the Dongfeng Corps and the Qingshan Group are equivalent to de facto "turning sides."

Not to mention whether the Dongfeng Corps has any grudges, the entire group will be on Rabbit's list.

Therefore, it is a truly rational and wise choice to implement Chen Chen's orders according to the highest standards and to tide over the difficulties together with them.

After a brief communication, Zhang Yang immediately began to make arrangements for vacation and evacuation, but Chen Chen did not go to see Argus immediately because there was one more thing he had to deal with before going to see him.

The leader of Task Force 88 who followed them all the way to La Botta.

Chen Chen now knows his name - Massimo.

Originally, Chen Chen thought he would leave with the mobile brigade, or evacuate on his own after confirming that Bashir was sent away.

But unexpectedly, Massimo still insisted on coming to La Botta. According to him, he wanted to see Gunawan.

——

Of course, he can't see Gunawan now, but Chen Chen still has to talk to him to find out his true purpose first.

So, after returning to the Dongfeng Corps office, Chen Chen called Massimo in and asked him straight to the point:

"What's your plan?"

Hearing Chen Chen's words, Massimo's face darkened. After a few seconds of silence, he answered:

".I originally wanted to meet Gunawan and communicate with him about Bashir."

"But now it seems that this is no longer something I can intervene in."

"So to be honest, I don't know what I'm going to do."

"I just felt like I wanted to do something to avenge my brothers."

"But how to do it specifically? I really don't know at all."

Chen Chen nodded lightly. He could probably understand Massimo's current mood.

A sudden attack took away several comrades who had fought alongside him. He had probably already made plans to fight to the end with those JD elements.

But suddenly, with the appearance of Bashir, he discovered that his enemy was not only the JD elements, but might even be one of his own.

This feeling is really difficult to describe in words.

The frustration of betrayal will push him to the abyss, and he will lose trust in everything around him.

The irony is that the only one he can trust is the Dongfeng Corps, which has fought resolutely against the JD elements from beginning to end.

This mercenary group does not even belong to Indonesia, but comes from a chaotic area that he once looked down upon.

This is why he insists on following the Dongfeng Corps.

Perhaps only this strange team can give him a small sense of security and make him feel that there is still a glimmer of light in this world.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen said:

"Actually, I can't help you, but if you want to do something, I think you should return to Kendari in your personal capacity to assist the police in organizing the treatment of the wounded."

"Well, it would be nice to just be a volunteer or something."

"It's impossible. We have been marked. As long as we return to Kendari, I will definitely be controlled."

Massimo sighed and continued:

"Of course, this is a necessary means."

"But if there's nothing I can do anyway, I might as well stay in La Botta."

"It's no use staying here."

Chen Chen replied decisively.

"I can help you, you need my identity, don't you?"

".You're afraid you're crazy. Do you know the consequences of cooperating with us?"

Chen Chen asked helplessly.

"I am certain."

Massimo nodded firmly and continued:

"Task Force 88 has a big problem. Bashir was captured by us personally and is actually under our jurisdiction."

"But he ran out and even had the energy to organize such a terrorist attack."

"This proves that the upper echelons of this team have been completely corrupted by political strife."

"I don't want to go to hell with them, I have to do something."

"Whether it works or not, I should at least give it a try, right?"

Hearing this, Chen Chen frowned.

Massimo's speech is actually very representative. Maybe it's not just him. There are many people in the entire 88th Task Force who have this idea.

After all, the struggle at the top has nothing to do with them, the benefits do not fall on them, but they are the ones who charge into battle and die on the battlefield.

They are just tools. Even this time, those who are called heroes in anti-terrorism operations are just tools.

Who would be willing to suffer such a fate?

Therefore, although it may sound utilitarian, his words definitely come from the heart.

He might indeed be able to cooperate with him - but not in the way he expected.

Chen Chen thought for a few seconds, and then said:

"You have the right idea."

"We can also work together."

"However, our cooperation must not be exposed to the public, as that would put both of us in a huge passive position."

"There is only one kind of truly meaningful cooperation - intelligence."

"Now, the intelligence systems of the police and Task Force 88 are completely separated. You have never conducted intelligence cooperation, which has also greatly reduced the efficiency of combating JD elements."

"Then, if you really want to do something, you can start from this aspect."

"How about it, do you want to think about it?"

"no problem!"

Massimo didn't even hesitate in his answer, and then he immediately asked:

"Do you want us to work with the police or directly with you?"

"Of course it's the police. Do you think we are qualified to cooperate with you? Leaking confidential information to us is also treason, right? You don't even know our true purpose!"

".Sorry, I thought it was too simple."

Massimo smiled slightly awkwardly, and he also realized how absurd the question he just asked was.

However, the fact that he could ask such a question shows how serious the crisis of trust within Task Force 88 has become.

After determining the willingness and direction of cooperation, Chen Chen chatted with Massimo about the details of the cooperation.

Although "intelligence cooperation" is simple to say, it is difficult to actually promote it.

On the one hand, Massimo's authority is insufficient and it is difficult to obtain sufficient and valuable information.

On the one hand, the relationship between the police and Task Force 88 is unprecedentedly tense, and it is not easy to establish a relationship of mutual trust between the two parties.

In particular, this is not a formal cooperation that has been officially recognized. Instead, it is more like an "internal espionage activity" like Infernal Affairs. Its sensitivity and danger are self-evident.

Therefore, Chen Chen did not plan to communicate too much with Massimo.

Everything can be pushed to the police who can really make the decision.

". Everything we just said doesn't exist. You haven't talked to me, and you don't know anything about cooperation. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Massimo nodded in understanding and added:

"Whether it's in front of Argus, Gunawan or my superiors, I say the same thing."

"You don't have to worry that I will betray you. Without a substantive deal, no one can embarrass you at this time."

"Moreover, once things are exposed, I will be in greater danger than you."

After hearing his words, Chen Chen nodded in relief and said:

"It seems like you really want to do something."

A bitter smile appeared on Massimo's face, and then he replied:

"Bashir killed many people, including my friends and colleagues."
