The town of Taila, Xinlai area.
The reconnaissance company commander brought over a dozen people and kicked them several times on the knees, forcing them to kneel on the ground.
The group of people were shaking with fear, and the two fat men in the lead were sweating profusely. They looked at the Chinese officers in front of them who looked like bandits, with fear in their eyes.
The reconnaissance company commander grinned and said, "Battalion Commander, look at how fat these two guys are. If we shave them off, we'll definitely be able to get a lot of fat out of them!"
Xing Yao looked at the group of people and asked, "Is this all they have?"
The reconnaissance company commander immediately reported: "Reporting to the battalion commander, there are thirteen main members of this group, and they are all here. The rest are guards and the like. They resisted fiercely just now, so we shot them."
Xing Yao nodded and asked, "Who is the leader?"
About ten people knelt on the ground, looking at each other, and no one spoke.
"Fuck! Our battalion commander is asking you a question! Didn't you hear me?" The reconnaissance company commander kicked one of the fat guys on the butt.
“Plop!”
The fat man lay directly in front of Xing Yao, his hands were cut, and he quickly begged for mercy in slightly stuttering Chinese: "I... I am the hired worker of this team."
Xing Yao picked up the wine pot, took a sip for himself, and then said to the fat man, "You don't have to be afraid. I'm easy to talk to. How about this? I won't make it difficult for you. One million per head. You can leave after paying the money. Moreover, I will provide you with a full set of services. I guarantee that you will be sent to a safe place and can go back safely."
The fat man blinked his eyes, knelt on the ground, and said with some embarrassment: "Dear sir, we can't take out so much money! We are here to escape, not to do business, so we don't have so much cash prepared..."
Xing Yao waved his hand: "Don't have that much cash? That's easy! Xiao Chu, come here and show it!"
"yes!"
A company commander in charge of managing supplies walked over quickly, first saluted Xing Yao, then took out a small notebook from his arms, pulled out a piece of paper from a page, and quickly unfolded it in front of the fat man.
The fat man was stunned for a moment, and saw rows of bank card numbers written on the note.
Xing Yao smiled and said, "We also provide a complete transfer service here. Look, we have money from Switzerland, Asia, the European Union, and South America... Let's put it this way, wherever you want to transfer money, there are channels!"
The fat guy was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, what kind of army did he encounter
Xing Yao's troops were indeed different from other troops. It had become a consensus that they were making war profits and letting their brothers profit from them.
It can be said that the entire Fourth Reinforced Battalion had no discipline when dealing with the enemy. They would rob if they could, extort if they could, and squeeze out any fat they could find!
Therefore, Xing Yao's preparations for this set of procedures can be said to be very complete. Not only do they have a full set of transfer channels, but they also charge reasonable fees, fair prices, and no deception.
This kind of thing is definitely against discipline. Before this, the higher-ups' military discipline department had approached Xing Yao several times, reminding him to be careful, because the Chi Army had become a human army, not a gathering place for bandits... Doing this would indeed damage the reputation of the team.
However, Xing Yao always said "hmm" and "ah" but never changed his mind. This set of procedures should be carried out. And their fighting ability is indeed strong, and they can achieve results every time they fight, so the upper management tolerated it for the time being.
At this time, the fat man was kneeling on the ground, looking at the neatly arranged row of card numbers, his mind was in a mess.
He thought for a moment, and pleaded with Xing Yao: "Dear sir, I am just a small arms dealer. I am not as rich as you think, and I don't have so much money! The funds I can mobilize are only five million in total. I am willing to give them all to you as long as you can let us go..."
Xing Yao's face suddenly darkened and he glanced at the fat man with some dissatisfaction.
The fat man was sweating profusely. He rubbed his hands desperately, shook his head and said, "Sir, please, I am telling the truth! I really don't have that much money! Look at our current situation. If I can afford the ransom, I will pay it without hesitation! I just want to escape from this damn place as soon as possible and never come back here again!"
Xing Yao looked at the fat man and thought he was telling the truth, so he waved his hand and said to the company commander who was in charge of supplies, "Okay, let him transfer the money quickly and then get them out! However, there will be no free escort service for this little money! Just find a ravine and drop them off."
The other party saluted: "Yes!"
After he finished speaking, he took the dozen people away and went to transfer the money.
The reconnaissance captain watched them leave, smiled and said, "This job was not in vain. At least we can get 500 yuan, and the brothers can have some meat to eat."
Five million may seem like a lot, but there are more than six hundred people in the entire battalion, almost seven hundred. If it is distributed to each soldier, it would be less than ten thousand dollars.
In this regard, Xing Yao never asked for more money, and the money earned was always divided equally among everyone.
If there are wounded, more will be distributed. If someone dies, their relatives will be given several times the subsidy.
It is precisely because of this that the people below are willing to follow Xing Yao through life and death and fight wherever he tells them to.
Xing Yao was also very happy. He handed his wine bottle to the reconnaissance company commander and said with a smile, "Good job. Have a sip!"
"hey-hey!"
The reconnaissance company commander picked up the wine flask and took a big gulp. Then his face turned red and he said happily, "It's delicious!"
After returning the wine jug to Xing Yao, the reconnaissance company commander added, "By the way, Battalion Commander, when we arrested this group of people, we also got a radio. It should have belonged to the unit that escorted them. It was a battalion-level radio. I guess the higher-ups also received money and sent a special unit to protect this group of people."
Hearing this, Xing Yao's eyes lit up: "Fuck! Compared to this thing, five million is nothing! Whether our brothers can take off in this mission in Xinlai area depends on this radio! Quick, bring the radio here, let me take a look!"
"yes!"
The reconnaissance company commander trotted away.
An hour later, Xing Yao led his troops towards a nearby mountain.
That night, no matter where Xing Yao went, he asked someone to carry the radio with him! In addition, he arranged a simultaneous translator to squat next to the radio to obtain intelligence information.

At the same time, China District.
