Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 558 Occupy a territory, and then develop it!

Yangon.

A five-star hotel.

The entire three floors were booked by a mysterious tycoon, and two of the elevators were reserved for exclusive use. Hotel guests and staff without access cards could not reach these three floors.

Moreover, security personnel could be seen patrolling the hotel lobby and throughout the hotel.

These security personnel were all foreigners, leading tourists visiting Yangon to believe that a head of state from a major country was staying there.

At this moment, Cai Xiaojing and Qian Baishan took the elevator to the eighteenth floor.

They were escorted up by a special person, and the elevator was very fast, reaching the designated floor in a short while.

As soon as Qian Baishan stepped out of the elevator, he saw that the corridor was full of people, walking hurriedly, carrying documents and briefcases, just like a government office building.

Each room was open, with all the beds, chairs, and other facilities removed, leaving only essential office supplies.

Qian Baishan clicked his tongue: "This is..."

Cai Xiaojing ignored him and walked straight to the closed room.

This is a presidential suite, and there are security personnel guarding the door.

When the door opened, Qian Baishan saw a group of people sitting on a sofa in front of the huge French windows.

Mo Wanqiu sat in the single sofa, her face indifferent.

The people sitting opposite her were all Chinese, and Qian Baishan noticed that they were all members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

One of the Chinese men wearing gold-rimmed glasses was He Ruifeng, the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and the others were his confidants.

Upon seeing Cai Xiaojing, Mo Wanqiu stood up and said, "Go and rest for a while."

Cai Xiaojing shook her head: "I'm not tired. Are Luo Rui and the others really alright?"

Mo Wanqiu laughed and said, "What could he possibly be doing? He's changed his name now, he's not called Luo Rui anymore, he's called He Dong."

Cai Xiaojing frowned: "What's going on?"

Mo Wanqiu picked up the remote control from the coffee table and turned on the LCD TV opposite her.

If you randomly turn on any channel, it will be broadcasting news about the Wa Lai region in northern Myanmar.

However, the host was speaking Burmese, which Cai Xiaojing and Qian Baishan couldn't understand very well.

The news released a photo of a Chinese man with a baby face but well-developed limbs, a wasp waist, and a large build.

Qian Baishan frowned: "Who is this person? He seems to be the leader of some local armed group."

He Ruifeng stood up and said with a bitter smile, "He is my good-for-nothing youngest son, but I have severed ties with him and removed him from the family genealogy forever. I have nothing to do with him now."

Qian Baishan looked at him suspiciously. Sever ties? And remove him from the family register? I hear pride in your tone.
Mo Wanqiu nodded: "Sit down and let's talk."

Cai Xiaojing sat down and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Mo Wanqiu looked at He Ruifeng: "President He, you speak."

"Okay, I'll explain."

He pondered for a moment before continuing, "I don't know if you are aware of the forces around Valais. There are two armed groups stationed in Valais, both of which are DKBA."

One of them was named Kundu, and the other was named Jiaba. They were the local tyrants.

Our chamber of commerce's timber mill is located in the mountains of Valais. A few days ago, Jaba killed Kundu, consolidated Kundu's power, and then attacked our timber mill.

Then, Jaba's forces were wiped out, supposedly by my youngest son, He Dong, and his men. They not only captured Jaba but also nearly two hundred people..."

Qian Baishan's eyes widened, his mouth agape in astonishment.

"Your son, no, He Dong, is that awesome?"

Mo Wanqiu sneered, and He Ruifeng sighed: "Do you think I, as his father, don't know what kind of person he is? Actually, it was President Luo who did this."

This time, not only Qian Baishan, but even Cai Xiaojing was stunned.

They never thought Luo Rui was capable of doing something like this.

No matter how capable a police officer is, how much of a role can he play on the battlefield?
They all looked at Mo Wanqiu at the same time. Mo Wanqiu shrugged: "Don't look at me. This bastard of mine has tried calling him several times by satellite phone, but I still can't get in touch with him."

He Ruifeng said, "President Luo is probably afraid of implicating you, so he probably won't communicate with the outside world for the time being. However, it was indeed President Luo who saved our Zhonghua Timber Factory. If it weren't for him, that bastard He Dong and the hundreds of people in the timber factory would definitely have been wiped out by Jaba's armed forces."

Qian Baishan still couldn't believe it: "If that's the case, why didn't the news report about President Luo?"

Mo Wanqiu snorted coldly: "President He, please continue."

He Ruifeng nodded: "The day after defeating Jaba's armed forces, He Dong led the lumber mill workers to arm the Rohingya, seize Valais, and take down all the outposts leading to the Valais Valley."

Qian Baishan swallowed hard: "Holy crap!"

He Ruifeng shook his head: "It's not a good thing either. They are short-handed and lack weapons and ammunition. The DKBA leadership has already organized people to prepare for a counterattack."

Cai Xiaojing frowned: "I can tell from his voice that He Dong is Luo Rui, and Luo Rui is He Dong. Is he the one who caused this trouble?"

He Ruifeng nodded: "You could say that."

Cai Xiaojing said, "DKBA is not a small armed force. If they retaliate, the situation will be serious."

"So my idea is that now a big shot needs to step forward and contact the various armed groups in northern Myanmar, especially the KNU, which has a long-standing feud with the DKBA. Otherwise, Mr. Luo and his group could easily find themselves in a desperate situation."

Moreover, I have also been expediting the purchase of a batch of weapons and ammunition from the US military stationed in the Philippines.

Well, it's almost drained my savings. Now, I want to send these things over there, and it would be best to hire another mercenary force, otherwise I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out.

Our Chinese Chamber of Commerce only has so much capability; for anything else, Mr. Mo will need to find some connections.

Mo Wanqiu squinted as she looked at the white clouds floating outside the window.

She found it hard to believe that Yangon and northern Myanmar were in the same country, yet in such different circumstances.

She asked, "How many men do they have now? How many weapons and ammunition do they have?"

He Ruifeng replied, "Before we captured Valais, there were only about twenty Chinese people; the rest were all Rohingya, which was very dangerous."

After capturing Valais, Ho Tung and his men gathered some Chinese, about fifty or sixty of them, while the other two hundred or so were Rohingya, mostly lumber mill workers.

As for the weapons and ammunition, they were all stolen and weren't particularly sophisticated.

Mo Wanqiu said, "I don't know much about these things, but what is this He Dong, who is my husband, planning to do?"

"They are currently gathering manpower and preparing to retreat towards Myawaddy."

"This is called a retreat? Myawaddy is DKBA's stronghold, they're really bold."

He Ruifeng sighed: "This is the message they sent. No one else knows yet. They want to muddy the waters, and I think President Luo's goal is to complete his previous mission."

"He's going to his death!" Mo Wanqiu stood up: "President He, I'll have someone negotiate with you. You decide what to do."

“That would be best. It’s very difficult for us Chinese to gain a foothold in northern Myanmar. If Ho Tung and his group can make things work, that would be the best outcome.”

Mo Wanqiu went out, Cai Xiaojing followed closely behind, and Qian Baishan thought for a moment and then followed behind as well.

"What should we do now?"

Mo Wanqiu looked at Cai Xiaojing: "I have to go to Thailand." "What are you going to Thailand for?"

“DKBA is backed by Thailand. If they can support such an evil force as DKBA, they can also support a Chinese armed group.”

Qian Baishan immediately asked, "Is it feasible? Who is behind the Chinese armed forces? Will those Thais agree to it?"

"That depends on whether Luo Rui and his superiors are capable enough."

Cai Xiaojing asked, "Then what can I do?"

"Go get some sleep first, then come with me."

"Row."

Qian Baishan said, "What about me? I can also contribute."

Mo Wanqiu looked at him and said, "Who are you? What can you do? Tonight, you and the others will fly back to China. That's all you need to do."

"I..." Qian Baishan sighed deeply, unable to say anything.

At this point, there's really not much he can do.

His position also prevented him from doing anything unnecessary.

Qian Baishan watched as Mo Wanqiu and Cai Xiaojing got off the elevator, followed by the mercenary leader in camouflage leading several people into the room, ready to discuss matters with He Ruifeng.

Feeling down, Qian Baishan returned to the hotel room that Mo Wanqiu had prepared for them.

He had his room key in hand, but before he could even go inside, the hotel door next to him opened.

Lin Chen and Qiao Xue approached him: "Have you found President Luo and Yonghui?"

For the past ten days or so, they have stayed in the hotel and haven't gone anywhere. They have no idea what's happening in the outside world.

After receiving a call from China confirming their safety, they stopped contacting them and were just about to tell them to arrange a time to return home.

Now that Qian Baishan is back, he'll definitely be setting off soon.

Qian Baishan opened the door and nodded, saying, "Come in and let's talk."

The hotel room was very clean, and there was no unpleasant smell at all.

After sitting down, Qian Baishan hesitated for a long time before replying, "I'd better not say anything. This matter must be kept secret. However, I can tell you that President Luo and Yonghui are both safe and sound."

Lin Chen rolled his eyes: "Is Captain Cai back? I'm going to find her."

Qian Baishan shook his head: "Don't go, she won't tell you anyway. From this moment on, let's not say anything, let's not ask anything, and let's take a plane back to China tonight."

Qiao Xue frowned and said, "Aren't we going to wait for President Luo and Yonghui?"

"We can't wait, we have to go back and explain the situation."

"I'm not going back!" Lin Chen pouted. "I have to wait for them to come back."

Qian Baishan said, "Director Lin, it's best not to inquire. It won't do you any good, and it won't do President Luo any good either."

Lin Chen was stunned when he saw his solemn expression.

Although she and Qiao Xue had a lot of questions, neither of them dared to ask any further.

Qiao Xue took a breath: "Okay, let's pack our things and go back to China tonight."

----------

Wa Lai, northern Myanmar.

Late at night, in Kundu's mansion, a map was laid out on a large conference table.

Luo Rui, Fang Yonghui, Jiang Feng, Qiu Wenhe, and others were all gathered around the map.

Only He Dong, sitting in a wheelchair, looked unusually excited.

A day earlier, they led the Rohingya people to occupy Valais and its surrounding area, and even captured the main passageway through the Grand Canyon.

The guards of the canyon were the hardest to defeat, but there were quite a few traitors in DKBA. A dozen or so defectors were selected from the prisoners, remote-controlled bombs were strapped to their bodies, and they were sent to take down the canyon guards. It only took a few hours to take them down.

This idea came from Jiang Zhongjun, which shows how cunning and ruthless he is.

After occupying Walen, they immediately seized the town's material reserves, as well as ammunition depots and other strategic assets.

The safest place for them is Valais. As long as they control the throat of the Grand Canyon, they can retreat directly. After retreating, it will be KNU territory.

It is still unclear what KNU's attitude towards them is.

In addition, the DKBA's armed forces will definitely launch a counterattack.

Luo Rui's team only has a little over two hundred people, and they can't withstand DKBA's attacks, so their current idea is to make a strategic retreat.

Where are we going?
The modern history of Tokyo University has already told them.

That's a no-man's-land, a place where development is possible and external support can be received.

After searching high and low, only one place met the criteria: Shan State.

It goes without saying which areas Shan State borders, and it is also the place with the largest number of Chinese descendants, and it is also far from the Rohingya stronghold.

Only when you get to this place can DKBA and KNU be beyond your reach, and you have that person backing you, plus there are many Chinese people here.

In addition, it is less than 300 kilometers away from Myawaddy.

Moreover, Shan State is the region with the most complex armed situation in Southeast Asia, home to more than a dozen armed groups, including not only drug trafficking groups, but also cross-border telecom fraud groups and government forces.

The region is in chaos, and the factions are in disarray, making it a good place to develop in line with the development of their own factions. Moreover, DKBA is also out of reach of them.

At the same time, it is also of great help to a certain region in combating Southeast Asian forces.

Luo Rui believed that as long as they brought people there and occupied a place, they would immediately receive a steady stream of support.

After this discussion, everyone agreed that this was the best solution, much better than staying in the Valais region.

Then they needed to discuss the route. Luo Rui didn't know much about the geography of Myanmar, so he had to send Jiang Zhongjun over.

Where is Uncle Jiang?

Sitting in his wheelchair, He Dong sighed: "They're out there setting up a simple formation, a platoon, and putting Chinese people in charge. They want to do ideological work on the Rohingya people, otherwise they won't want to go with us."

Luo Rui said, "Quickly call him in. We need to plan our route to Shan State. Ideally, we should lure the DKBA militants over, then detour through Myawaddy, take over the Fan State Industrial Park, and head straight to Shan State."

"When we get to Shan State, we need someone to meet us, and we also need to take down an armed group as a warning to others; otherwise, we definitely won't be able to gain a foothold."

He Dong nodded: "That makes sense. I'll go call him."

Qiu Wenhe said, "I'll go, you rest."

Luo Rui walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, where the night view of Valais was visible.

In the square in front of Kundu’s residence, more than two hundred Rohingya people stood in several rows, and Jiang Zhongjun was standing in front of the line, making them take an oath and give a speech.

Luo Rui looked at Jiang Zhongjun and thought to himself, "This old man has quite the ambition."
