Chapter 77 Blue Star Ban, Operation Thunder
The president remained seated, his hand still resting on the list, the trembling of his fingertips transmitting through the paper, causing it to rustle softly.
The guards stood silently at the door, neither daring to make a move nor to utter a sound.
The sun shone brightly outside the window, but the president felt as if the whole world had dimmed.
Luo Fei did not go straight home, but instead flew to the area on the border of Laos.
These are the ruins of the fraud parks that Mohen destroyed yesterday.
From the air, the camp's corrugated iron roof had been blown off and was hanging precariously on the remaining supports; the walls were riddled with bullet holes, resembling a honeycomb.
The scorch marks on the ground stood out starkly against the backdrop of the surrounding green vegetation.
He landed in the middle of the ruins and walked into the dilapidated buildings. The iron bunk bed was overturned on the ground, the mattress pierced by bullets, and the white cotton wadding was exposed from the tear, already stained gray by dust.
There was a pile of luggage in the corner, the suitcases were rummaged through and clothes were scattered all over the floor, which looked like they were left behind by the detainees.
He searched the entire ruins but found no one, neither living nor dead.
It must have been Moheng who rescued the person and cleaned up the scene.
He stood in the middle of the ruins, took out his phone, and dialed Director Qin's number.
The phone was answered after only one ring, and Director Qin's voice came through the receiver. The background was very quiet, so it seemed to be in his office.
"Xiao Luo, have you finished dealing with things in Laos?"
Luo Fei replied, "It's all taken care of," paused briefly, and then spoke again, his tone more serious than usual.
"Director Qin, could you please issue a public notice for me? Issue it in the name of the United Government and myself, to the entire planet Earth. The notice should state: From the date of this notice, all fraudulent activities, all drug-related activities, and all human trafficking are strictly prohibited on Earth. This is not an appeal, nor an advocacy, but an absolute ban."
"All countries must clear out illegal and criminal activities within their borders within a week. During this period, I will arrange for Xiao Wan to cooperate with the operation throughout. He will provide all clues and evidence, as well as the best action plan."
"If, a week later, the fraudulent industrial park is still operating, the drug manufacturing plant is still producing drugs, or the human trafficking organization still exists, I will personally intervene to handle the situation."
Director Qin remained silent for a moment.
That silence wasn't hesitation, but rather a process of digesting the information contained in those words.
He then spoke, his voice steady, and asked, "When will the announcement be released?"
Luo Fei only said two words, "Now," and then hung up the phone.
Director Qin sat at his desk. The water in his thermos had gone cold. He didn't drink it, but casually pushed the thermos aside and turned on his computer.
Fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard.
The wording of the announcement needs no further consideration—Luo Fei's original words are the best expression and need no modification.
He typed the last period, carefully checked for typos, and then pressed the send button.
Soon, the announcement was issued through all official channels of the Dragon Kingdom, and copied to all countries and organizations.
Major media outlets immediately pinned the announcement to the top of their feeds upon receiving it, and the news was simultaneously highlighted on users' phone screens with a red "Breaking News" tag.
The news spread almost as fast as the speed of light.
Soon, the comment sections of various platforms exploded.
"Fraud? Drugs? Human trafficking? Ban them all?"
"He said 'ban,' which means he's preparing for a blanket ban."
"What's wrong with a one-size-fits-all approach? These things should be addressed with a one-size-fits-all approach in the first place."
"What about gambling? Why not ban gambling as well? I, Huang, swear here and now that I will never tolerate gambling and drugs!"
"What about countries that rely on fraud for a living? Their economic pillars have collapsed."
"Their economy is based on fraud, so their economy shouldn't even exist in the first place."
"Is a week enough? Those industrial parks all have powerful figures backing them up."
"Whether it's enough or not is not our concern. With General Luo Fei around, no one else's backing is of any use."
The United States reacted more quickly than any other country.
The White House spokesperson held a press conference within an hour of the announcement, using strong language and a firm stance that left the reporters present somewhat bewildered, as if they had wandered into the wrong room.
"The United States fully supports General Luo Fei's global ban. We have withdrawn our military forces deployed throughout the planet back home, and now is the perfect time to carry out the elimination mission."
"Our special forces are ready to deploy at any time to any area where fraud parks, drug manufacturing plants, and human trafficking networks exist, to cooperate with local governments in carrying out raids."
The reporters exchanged bewildered glances, and one muttered, "When did they become so proactive?" Someone nearby replied, "Just look at Israel's current situation, and you'll understand why they're so eager."
The enthusiasm of the United States is indeed obvious.
Those aircraft carrier groups, marines, and special operations groups that have withdrawn to their home countries are struggling to find a place to use their skills.
Soldiers trained with huge military spending can't just practice target shooting at the base every day; they need to have actual missions to carry out.
Luo Fei's ban provided them with a rare opportunity.
The actions of cracking down on fraud parks, destroying drug manufacturing plants, and rescuing trafficked people are morally justifiable and have received widespread support in the public eye.
Moreover, the risks of carrying out these missions are relatively low. The adversaries are not armed forces of sovereign states with anti-aircraft missiles and anti-ship missiles, but rather fraud gangs armed with machetes and sticks, drug traffickers hiding in the mountains, and human traffickers lurking in the shadows.
The Dragon Kingdom has also deployed troops to participate in the operation.
This operation was not a large-scale military deployment, but a joint operation carried out by special operations teams, drones, and cyber warfare units.
The operation targeted several countries surrounding China where telecommunications fraud was rampant.
After coordinating with local governments, the Chinese police task force and military special forces went deep into the border areas of these countries and successfully dismantled several telecom fraud dens.
In addition, some criminal organizations still engaged in drug production in the Golden Triangle region have been completely eradicated.
However, this operation was not carried out by the Dragon Kingdom's army, but rather by Mo Heng after learning of Luo Fei's announcement.
Mohen had already completed troop assembly before the announcement was issued.
Once the announcement was released, they launched a comprehensive search and crackdown in the mountainous areas of northern Myanmar and the Golden Triangle region, completely eliminating any remaining drug traffickers and other drug trafficking forces after the destruction of the Khun Sheng Group, leaving no room for escape.
Afterwards, he sent Luo Fei a message: "There are no more drugs in Myanmar."
Luo Fei replied with only one word: "Okay".
Actions within the Dragon Kingdom were swifter than those abroad.
Xiao Wan conducted a thorough investigation of the domestic human trafficking network. From the organizers at the upstream, the transporters in the midstream, to the traffickers, buyers and middlemen at the downstream, the information such as the members, addresses, activity patterns and financial flows of each link was compiled into complete files and submitted to the Ministry of Public Security.
The Ministry of Public Security subsequently organized several nationwide coordinated operations, successfully apprehending tens of thousands of human traffickers simultaneously. From bustling cities to remote counties, from north to south, from east to west, videos of the arrests were widely circulated online.
Some of the suspects were arrested in rental houses, construction sites, hotel rooms, and other places, while others were extradited back to China from overseas.
In the comments section, some netizens asked, "How will these people be sentenced?" and someone replied, "They will be dealt with severely."
Subsequently, some netizens asked "how exactly will the punishment be severe?" and others attached screenshots of judgments from similar past cases, which showed a sentence of "life imprisonment".
One comment in the comments section was pushed to the top.
"Human traffickers, once caught, don't need a trial; they're sentenced to death on the spot!"
Someone replied below, their tone quite serious: "Human traffickers are human beings too, how can they be sentenced to death? What about their families? Won't they feel heartbroken? Will they take revenge on society in the future?...

Many people in the comments section have already read the previous content and are criticizing the user who posted this comment.
Some people read the whole thing and joked, "A forty-meter-long sword has been drawn; it's time to give our friendly forces a proper burial."
After clicking "Expand," the full content is revealed: "Therefore, I still suggest that all human traffickers and their entire families be executed, so that their families will not suffer heartache or seek revenge on society."
This comment garnered over ten million likes in just a few hours.
As evening fell, Luo Fei stood beside the Spirit Gathering Grass in the courtyard. The setting sun cast a long shadow of him, and Xiao Bai squatted at his feet, its tail curled up in a ball.
His phone vibrated; it was a message from Mo Heng: "Mr. Luo. As of now, all the people on the list have been apprehended and handed over to the Chinese police; they are currently being escorted. The fraud parks within Laos have all been shut down, and citizens of other countries detained there are being released one after another."
After reading the message, Luo Fei placed his phone on the stone table.
The evening sun slanted in from the west, turning the bluestone path in the courtyard orange-red.
The leaves of the Spirit Gathering Grass swayed gently in the wind, their silvery veins reflecting the glow of the setting sun.
Li Xiulan brought out a plate of freshly stir-fried vegetables from the kitchen and called out to the yard, "Dinner's ready!"
Luo Weidong walked over from the living room with a remote control in his hand. The TV was still on, and the news was reporting that the Longguo police had arrested a group of human traffickers in the border area.
Little White stood up from the ground, stretched, stretched its front paws forward, stuck its butt out high, and yawned.
Then, it strode towards the dining table, and as it passed Luo Fei's feet, its tail gently brushed against his trouser leg.
Luo Fei heard Xiao Bai's cute voice in his mind: "Dinner's ready, hurry up."
Luo Fei stood up with a smile, patted his pants, and followed Xiao Bai into the house.
