Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 615 - 279: Infiltration

About four hours later, around ten in the morning, the plane successfully landed at Nuzhou Airport.

The end of March in Yunnan is much hotter than Ningzhou; the humid heat in the air made many officers in long sleeves quickly break into a sweat, with temperatures reaching 38 degrees, as if they had directly entered the sweltering summer.

For Gu Ji, Gao Bo, and Zhang Wenjun,

this wasn’t their first time in Nuzhou.

The last time they captured Shao Liang, their first stop was also this airport. Only half a year has passed, and Gu Ji was no longer the "rookie" he once was.

Domestic exit.

Gu Ji immediately recognized the sharp-looking, yellow-skinned middle-aged man as Zhao Bai, the captain of the Nuzhou Border Anti-Drug Task Force.

He was also the one responsible for coordination during the last capture operation.

"Long time no see, Mr. Zhao, this is Bi Xin, the command leader for this operation."

"Long time no see, hello Mr. Bi, thank you for your hard work. You haven’t eaten yet, have you? There is some bread and water on the bus, have a bite first, and then we’ll eat when we return to the team."

Zhang Wenjun shook hands with Zhao Bai and exchanged a few words.

Then everyone was taken onto a large bus.

Inside the bus, everyone drank water while Zhao Bai explained the current situation in Northern Myanmar’s Kokang.

Different from what Lei Wanshan had said.

Since Nuzhou is close to Northern Myanmar, the police here tend to have the latest firsthand information.

"So, Northern Myanmar has been quite unstable recently. My undercover informant tells me that a family feud may erupt within the next two days."

"This really matches Gu Ji’s previous analysis perfectly!"

After Zhao Bai shared the intelligence, Bi Xin couldn’t help but glance at Gu Ji.

It was then that Zhao Bai noticed Gu Ji, "Oh, the genius elite is here too?"

Seeing Gu Ji’s confused expression,

Zhao Bai smiled and said, "After that capture operation, Captain Wang Hong of the SWAT team said that your night operations command level has been included as a learning case for the Yunnan Province SWAT team. Later, word spread through our police team that you’re a genius elite from Ningzhou!"

"Uh hehe..."

Gu Ji awkwardly scratched his head and smiled.

Soon, the vehicle arrived at the border anti-drug task force headquarters.

After a simple lunch at the unit canteen, they returned to the meeting room to discuss the specifics of Operation 324.

On the whiteboard, several photos were displayed, and next to them, names and identities were written in black marker, depicting the organizational personnel information of the Jinyuan Group.

Wa Xueming: Director of Supervision and Minister of Mining, responsible for the group’s military, personal security, and resource extraction;

Chen Jianhe: Real Estate and Transportation Minister, in charge of the group’s real estate operations and cargo transportation;

Yang Chen: Minister of Internet Economy, in charge of e-fraud and money laundering;

Bai Mingliang: Commander of Border Defense Camp, responsible for all business transactions of the group, as well as key military forces;

And lastly, Bai Maoliang, the chairman of the Jinyuan Group, the undisputed leader of the Bai Family.

Gu Ji glanced over.

Unexpectedly, they were all old acquaintances. Over half a year ago, Yang Chen was still just a minor supervisor, but now he had transformed into a minister.

"These are currently the core members of the Jinyuan Group."

Zhao Bai took out a stack of documents and distributed them among the crowd.

"Bai Maoliang is inherently cruel, continuously using drugs to harm the people, and he is a key target for capture by the Ministry of Public Security. We’ve been tracking this lead for six years and did not expect it to be involved in the Thailand tourist case this time. Therefore, the provincial department’s mandate is for us to cross into Myanmar from Yushan Port together with you, the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team, responsible for hostage rescue, while our Yunnan Province Anti-Drug Headquarters is responsible for capturing Bai Maoliang."

"You have tasks too?"

This was unexpected for Bi Xin and the others.

But it made sense because even though the public security system is interconnected, cases are managed based on jurisdiction, especially since this mission is a covert operation, requiring confidentiality from all parties before formal action.

"Yes." Zhao Bai nodded.

"The situation in Northern Myanmar is very complex, with the possibility of chaos at any moment. Almost all checkpoints on the Myanmar side are checked by the scouts of the four major families. To avoid leaking this information and alert them, we have to disguise ourselves and enter in batches without carrying any weapons or police identification."

Gu Ji glanced at the route map in the file.

The entry and exit point to Northern Myanmar is Yushan Town.

Located in the middle of the Xia-Myanmar border, it is one of the nearest cities to Northern Myanmar and also the frontline in the domestic anti-drug struggle.

After crossing through Yushan, you enter Kokang East Mountain District.

Bai Maoliang and the territories of the other three major families are in the capital Old Street in the northern part of the East Mountain District. The suburbs surrounding Old Street are occupied by numerous militarist border defense camps.

"Old Street Market is our target action area for this mission. It used to be a notorious drug production site in the Golden Triangle, originally named ’Maliuba Dam,’ meaning ’the most barbaric place.’ Due to years of war, public security in the town is extremely poor, with widespread gun violence and thuggery. Enforcers of the four major families can randomly assault people in the streets, so everyone needs to be extremely cautious."

"Oh my god, is this still a city? It’s like a den of bandits..."

Listening to Zhao Bai’s explanation, Gao Bo flipped through the document contents.

Even with just black-and-white images, he could envision the chaos and gunfire.

"The Myanmar police force should have already infiltrated the city. The rendezvous point is near Jiayuan Park in Longyang Village, Old Street. Our undercover agent within the Jinyuan Group has also recruited an informant, who will provide internal security force distribution information and assistance before the operation begins."

"Since the hostage holding point and Bai Maoliang’s residence are not in the same place, we must act separately. We’ll communicate via radio and regroup at East Mountain District’s Tangkou after the action, then retreat together to Yushan border."

After Zhao Bai finished speaking,

Bi Xin put down the document and nodded, "Understood. We’ll handle the rescue, and you catch the perpetrator. Time is of the essence, so let’s get ready!"

"There’s a dressing room next to the meeting room. Please change your clothes."

At this point, Zhao Bai’s assistant led everyone to change their disguises.

Before coming, Gu Ji had already read the operation documents.

They clearly stated that no identity-revealing documents or clothes should be carried.

Gu Ji changed into a pair of jeans, with a dark blue base layer, topped with an army-green washed short-sleeved shirt, a brown-green cap on his head, and some brown-black face paint, giving him a look reminiscent of those South Asian hitmen.

Gao Bo was dressed even more simply.

He wore a black T-shirt, yellow outdoor long pants, fake scars on his face, and a fake wolf-head tattoo on his arm.

After everyone finished disguising themselves, they got on a large bus and headed from Nuzhou to Yushan Town. By the time they arrived in the town, it was already three in the afternoon.

Although Yushan is a small town, it thrives on border economy, and the town is well-developed, surrounded by green mountains and well-maintained roads.

The bus parked on the street near the border.

Zhao Bai began to arrange for everyone to cross the border separately.

There were three methods of disguise to cross the border: cargo transportation, tourism, and business exchanges.

Gu Ji, Gao Bo, and Liu Weijun were assigned to a tour bus.

Besides them, the bus was full of tourists from all over the country, mostly males, many of whom were heading to Kokang Old Street for its nightlife and entertainment industries.

Arriving at Yushan Port.

The first thing that caught their eyes was the massive white arch, with "Entry" on the left, "Exit" on the right, and the national emblem on a pillar in the middle.

There were quite a few vehicles queued at the entry and exit checkpoints.

Through the gaps, Gu Ji could clearly see the difference between the two sides of the arch.

Within Xia Kingdom, order was maintained, but once across the border, Northern Myanmar looked chaotic, with groups of rowdy people huddled nearby, much like black market taxi drivers at train station entrances.

Different from airport border checks.

Land border crossings, although following the same procedures, have noticeably stricter security checks, requiring each person to disembark and have their luggage inspected by security machines, and even the interiors of vehicles have to undergo police inspection.

After crossing out of the border, the inspections on the Myanmar side were much more relaxed.

While waiting in line for border control stamps,

Gu Ji instinctively surveyed the surrounding environment and personnel, and with a quick glance, he identified four or five guards keeping watch.
