In the city, inside a trading company.
Gu Tongshan walked to the window, picked up the phone and dialed Xu Hu's number.
"Hello? Master!"
"Just now, the garrison on the other side came, but we ignored them. Listen carefully, the higher-ups will definitely support you today, just get the job done." Gu Tongshan frowned and said, "Don't touch the garrison. If you can't solve the problem, call me immediately. Our navy has a solution."
"I understand." Xu Hu responded.
"We're waiting for your news here." Gu Tongshan hung up the phone.
Near the Longjiang border bridge, Xu Hu sat in the car and said gloomily, "Call the brothers leading the team and tell them to close the road. If you see people on the other side, call me immediately."
"Okay!" The young man in the passenger seat nodded immediately.
On a road about two kilometers away from the border bridge, Wei Xiangzuo held the phone and frowned, saying, "Fuck, are you stupid? Don't let people hang around the garrison gate. If you gather at the gate of the military unit, they can judge you have illegal military intentions at any time. If they really shoot, it will be useless to kill them, do you understand?"
"knew."
"The one in charge tonight is Xu Hu. Whether to beat or kill is all decided by him. We just need to follow him." Wei Xiangzuo instructed again.
"Got it, bro!"
After saying that, Wei Xiangzuo hung up the phone, turned his head and said to the six or seven leaders in charge nearby: "The talks above have failed, so we have to do it."
"Can we do it? If the garrison sends those people into the city, do we dare to stop the car?" A middle-aged man said with his hands behind his back.
"If the garrison really wants to get involved, then the navy will naturally find a way to solve the problem." Wei Xiangzuo said softly, "The higher-ups dare to issue this order, which means they must have a plan in mind. Outside the zone, there are few rules, so just do whatever you want."
"Ah, Mr. Gu really loves Xu Hu." A leader couldn't help but sigh: "If our gang members were killed, the navy would probably not step in to wade into this mess."
"Say less!" Wei Xiangzuo scolded.
…
Outside of Haiyan Crater.
The two naval vehicles received orders to leave their original stationing area and headed eastward.
In the car, an officer held the phone and asked: "Brother, nothing can happen, right? We haven't received any orders from the headquarters."
"The headquarters has acquiesced." The man on the phone whispered back, "Don't worry about anything. Just stay by the border bridge. If the garrison doesn't show up, you don't show up either. Do you understand me? The Coast Guard and the Customs Anti-Smuggling Department have approved the procedures. If the garrison insists on protecting the other side, you can just go over and suppress them. The principle is that conflicts can occur, but don't start a fight first."
"Understood."
"that's all."
The two hung up the phone, and the officer turned to the driver and ordered, "Drive faster!"
…
Inside the No. 04 garrison patrol post.
Yu Mingyuan yelled at the patrol squad leader, "What on earth are you doing?! What do you mean by I'm leaving first and leaving them alone?"
"They have troops coming from inside the line to pick you up, but the message from above is that you should not get involved in what happens next. You should go back first..."
"Bullshit! If someone picked me up, why would you let me go first?" Yu Mingyuan shouted in disbelief: "Before they left, I promised that no matter how big a problem happened tonight, I would protect them. Now that I'm leaving suddenly, what will they think? How are you going to let me explain?!"
"Brother Yu, I'm just a small squad leader. I mean nothing. How should I know the specific arrangements from above? If you don't leave, it will be difficult for me to report to my superiors. Please don't make things difficult for me, okay?" The squad leader replied with a sad face.
Yu Mingyuan looked at him, veins bulging on his forehead. After a long silence, he took out his cell phone.
"Mingyuan!"
At this moment, the officer who had accompanied Bai Hongbo and others up the mountain came over and whispered to him, "The higher-ups must have their reasons for making this arrangement."
Yu Mingyuan looked up.
"Listen to me, let's go first," the friend whispered back, "Don't cause trouble for the higher-ups."
Yu Mingyuan stared at him and suddenly asked, "I'm leaving. Can the garrison send them across the line?"
The friend was stunned.
"Can you? Speak!" Yu Mingyuan shouted.
"It probably won't happen, but there must be someone on the line to pick it up." The friend turned his head and looked around: "Don't shout. Think about it, if we need someone to pick us up, and there's a conflict with the navy on the way, and they can't control the situation and start shooting, what should we do? How big of a deal would that be?!"
"You and I both know how many people are outside. If we don't send them off, how can they get through? If people can't get in, what's the point of you answering the phone!" Yu Mingyuan put the phone in his pocket, turned around and left: "I will definitely go back with them. Whatever the higher-ups do, it's up to them to decide."
"Mingyuan!" The friend chased after him.
"… If I don't care about them now, then all my previous decisions would be stupid." Yu Mingyuan yelled back, "Don't try to persuade me. I don't want to argue with you."
His friends looked at him, speechless.
Yu Mingyuan stepped into the barracks, raised his head and shouted, "The garrison won't send us off, but someone will pick us up inside the line. I'll go back with you. If Xu Hu wants to take action, let him kill me first! Let's go."
Su Tianyu, Kong Zhenghui and others were very surprised to hear this, but after taking a look at the complicated and angry expression on Yu Mingyuan's face, they also knew that they should not complain to him at this time.
"It's pointless to stay here in a stalemate, let's go." Su Zhengcai stood up.
"Walk!"
Yu Mingyuan greeted them and walked out with everyone.
At the gate, the squad leader of the border guard said to Yu Mingyuan's friend: "I didn't receive the order to send anyone away, so we can't leave our post."
"I know." The friend nodded: "I will go out with Mingyuan."
"you… !"
"Fuck, Xu Hu dares to kill me?!" My friend replied with a gloomy face and got directly into his military vehicle.
Yu Mingyuan looked up and shouted at the squad leader, "Where is the person who will pick us up?"
"Border bridge." The squad leader replied.
"Let's go, get in the car!" Yu Mingyuan called out to Su Tianyu and Kong Zhenghui, who got on the car first.
"It's a bit risky!" Old Man Kong said to Bai Dabiao in a low voice, "If the garrison doesn't send them, they won't cross the line. They're afraid of being caught in a dilemma."
"Whatever you want!" Bai Dabiao replied with a gloomy face: "I definitely can't just stand there and let Xu Hu chop me down."
After that, everyone got into the car together.
…
Urban area.
Yu Jinrong sat on the sofa, looked up and asked a middle-aged officer, "Why don't our garrison troops show up?"
"If you go over, the navy will also go over, and the customs, maritime police, and anti-smuggling departments will also be there. They say they want to summon Bai Dabiao, what will you do? What reason does the garrison have to stop you?" The officer took a sip of tea and asked calmly, "There are only a few people at patrol post No. 04. If a conflict occurs at the scene, will you shoot or not? Isn't this a dilemma?!"
Yu Jinrong was silent.
"Just wait inside the line," the middle-aged officer stood up, "I'll make a phone call."
…
At around six in the morning, as daybreak broke, seven or eight cars drove out of patrol post No. 04.
In the car, Su Tianyu lowered his head, texting quickly...
