Chapter 1178: Silencing the Witness
Du Fei synchronized his vision and looked at the big white ass of Statt through the aiming hole of the directional anti-personnel mine. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but it seemed to be even whiter.
He asked Xiao Hei to adjust it slightly and pointed the four words "This side faces the enemy" towards the house.
This type of 66 anti-personnel mine can be "pressed" or "tripped", and can also be manually remotely controlled. Du Fei had already connected the cables before.
After the arrangement was completed, Xiao Hei No. 2 flew away immediately, leaving only Xiao Hei on the balcony.
Now as long as Xiao Hei pecked at the button, he could send Statt to the west in an instant, but Du Fei hesitated to give the order.
It was not that he was soft-hearted at the critical moment, but that things went smoothly beyond his expectations.
Du Fei originally planned that after arriving in Saigon, even with Lou Hongyi's relationship, it would not be so easy to find Statt.
It would take at least two or three days.
After finding the target, he had to wait for the opportunity to arrange the anti-personnel mine. Unexpectedly, the first All this was done at night.
This caught Du Fei off guard, and he left the hotel without stopping.
Although it was wartime, Saigon was hundreds of kilometers away from the front line, so there was no curfew.
Even in the middle of the night, there were often people on the street, especially those soldiers on rotation. In order to vent their depressed mood on the battlefield, they often frantically diverted their attention through alcohol and women.
Du Fei came to the street, paying attention to the situation of Stat Shaojiang, while finding a bicycle on the street. Once the anti-infantry mine was detonated at the officers' club, it would definitely cause an uproar.
If things go wrong, the whole Saigon will be under martial law.
Before Du Fei came, although he was prepared for the worst case scenario, why not jump out of the circle in advance?
Reached out and broke it with a "click" After breaking the lock, Du Fei sat on the bike, exerted force on his feet, and the bike rushed out.
Just now, Du Fei carefully observed the terrain nearby, and quickly left the city along some inconspicuous paths, even small alleys.
South along the west bank of the Mekong River.
In the dark night, after leaving the Saigon city, it was pitch black. There was no moon tonight, and the sound of waves in the river could be heard in the distance.
There is a small fishing village more than 20 kilometers to the south.
There is a secret base of Lou Hongyi here, and you can take a boat out of the mouth of the Mekong River. The base here did not know that Du Fei would come, nor did they know the specific time.
Only Lou Hongyi had said hello in advance, as long as Du Fei came and matched the secret code, he could leave by boat immediately.
Although Lou Hongyi did not know why Du Fei suddenly went to Saigon, he could guess It was absolutely extraordinary, and he dared not neglect it at all.
Just at this moment, Du Fei's heart trembled, and he suddenly squeezed the brake.
With a "creak", the speeding bicycle braked to a stop. Du Fei closed his eyes and his vision was synchronized to Xiaohong.
After the anti-personnel mine was placed, Xiaohei was ready to trigger it at any time, while Xiaohong was in the corner of the room, avoiding the explosion angle of the anti-personnel mine, staring at the state young sauce on the bed.
Just now, the snoring state young sauce suddenly turned over.
Xiaohong received an order to remind Du Fei immediately as long as state young sauce moved.
Du Fei stared at state young sauce on the bed.
It seemed that he was awakened by the urge to urinate.
Because he was too tired before going to bed and did not go to the toilet, state young sauce rubbed his eyes, got up lazily, and waited for a few seconds before getting up.
Just as he was about to go to the bathroom, a gust of wind suddenly came and lifted the curtains. State young sauce frowned, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong.
Du Fei did not hesitate at this time. He had already left the Saigon city area, and even if the whole city was under martial law, he could not reach here. He simply thought about it and gave Xiao Hei an order.
The next moment, Xiao Hei's beak pecked on the trigger button.
Instantly, a ball of blazing fire burst out from the inside of the anti-personnel mine, and the metal shell sprayed with "This side faces the enemy" was instantly torn apart. The terrifying power of C4 explosives wrapped countless steel pillars like a violent metal rain curtain and enveloped Statley.
Statley's pupils suddenly shrank, but his mind was blank.
Gu Lie, who had been guarding outside the door, suddenly changed color in the moment before the explosion, and a feeling of extreme danger surged into his heart. If on the battlefield, this ability to foresee danger in advance is enough to greatly increase his chances of survival in the hail of bullets.
But at this time, a one-second advance warning would not work at all.
Gu Lie started instantly, and the whole person was like a hunting tiger, directly breaking through the solid wooden door in front of him. However, a ball of fire flashed in his eyes immediately afterwards, making Gu Lie's heart seem to be pinched by the god of death.
Statley Unable to react, he could only stand there and wait for death. However, Gu Lie was faster than rushing in. He stomped his feet on the ground. With a bang, the floor shattered and retreated like a cannonball...
Boom!
A loud noise and black smoke suddenly came out of the third-floor window of the Officers' Club.
In just a few seconds, a sharp alarm sounded over Saigon.
Ten minutes later, the whole city was under martial law. A large number of South Vietnamese military police and military police were dispatched overnight and appeared on the streets with unprecedented efficiency.
The top leaders of South Vietnam received the news. A Meiguo young man was assassinated.
These puppet governments, touching their Meiguo masters, were like pinching their eggs, and they instantly erupted in a strong stress response.
In Saigon, less than two kilometers away from the Officers' Club, in the former French Colonial Governor's Mansion. A thin old man with gray hair was wearing pajamas and rubbing his nose.
It was Abrams, the commander of the American Assistance Command.
This young talent who was once hailed as "the number one armored general" by Patton's army has now become a big shot in charge of one side.
At this time, his face was livid, and he looked at his secretary in front of him: "You said Start was killed in the bombing?" "Yes, sir~" The secretary's voice was low, and he was quite shocked when such a thing happened. That's Meguo's Jiangjun!
From 1955 to
Now, the Vietnam-Nan war has been going on for more than ten years. Not counting those who died in plane crashes and those who died of illness, only two Jiang soldiers died directly from enemy fire.
It can be seen how heavy the weight of Stadt Sauce is.
Abrams waved his hand, indicating that the secretary could go out.
He does not need to personally intervene in the subsequent arrangements. On the contrary, it is the domestic Hexagonal Building that needs him to deal with it. Almost at the same time, Bush, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by an unexpected phone call.
Grumbling, he reached for the phone.
It’s the middle of the night and I’m calling at this time.
But when he heard the news that "Start was dead" came over the phone, Bush immediately became energetic. You don't need to think about it to know who dares to do this.
Du Fei had told him before that he would solve the problem in his own way, so he guessed that Du Fei would definitely take action against Start. Including those on Wall Street who were secretly fueling the fire, they were sure that Du Fei would scare the monkeys, and specifically reminded Stat to be careful.
Until two days ago, the plane Du Fei was riding suddenly exploded. Although Bush was shocked, he was very sure that Du Fei could not die. This was his intuition.
It was later found out that the Indus were responsible for loading the bombs on the plane. A more subtle matter also involves Winnie Slater.
You know, in the eyes of insiders, Du Fei and Winnie are now "close" allies. This made Bush even more puzzled, and he felt like "the flowers are becoming more and more charming."
Just at this time, before it was confirmed whether Du Fei was dead or not, news suddenly came from Saigon that Master Stater was dead!
Still died in such a tragic way.
Bush immediately thought that Du Fei must have done this. "Du Fei..."
He muttered Du Fei's name, slowly put down the phone, and knitted his brows into a knot. This is definitely a slap in the face, that is a dignified American military commander!
This can no longer be regarded as killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Bush could even imagine the expressions of those Wall Street bastards when they heard that Stat was killed in the bombing.
What's even worse is that it's in a heavily guarded officers' club!
He even put anti-infantry mines directly into the house...it makes my head spin just thinking about it.
Bush knew that many people were bound to be unable to sleep that night.
Far away in Saigon, the scene of the explosion.
The room was in a mess. Start's body fell on the bed. The close-range explosion and the storm of steel balls made his body miserable.
Even though the people who came to the scene at this time were all soldiers who had been on the battlefield, they all frowned when they saw this scene. The flesh and blood are blurred and not human.
Even the best embalmer would be hard-pressed to give Statter the last bit of dignity.
The leader, a middle-aged man who had just arrived from the headquarters, glanced at the corpse and turned away to look at Gulie, who was treating the wound.
Although Gulie escaped violently at the end of the explosion, he was still injured by the anti-infantry mine. He was hit by more than a dozen steel balls.
But he was not an ordinary person after all. His muscles were like steel. At the moment of the explosion, he crossed his arms to protect his head. He curled up and used his knees and calves to cover his abdomen and chest.
Although he was hit by more than a dozen steel balls, he was not fatally injured.
At this time, a military doctor was using tweezers to help him clean out the marbles.
These marbles were not embedded deeply into Gu Lie's muscles because the distance was nearly ten meters. When these steel balls hit Gu Lie, their power was about the same as that of an assault rifle.
Although Gu Lie's strength is not as strong as Cixin, he is on par with Eagle. With his super control of muscles, when he is prepared, the pistol is basically no threat, and it is the power of the assault rifle. , it can only cause some skin injuries to him.
With a "dang" sound, a steel ball was thrown into the iron plate by the military doctor.
After applying medicine and disinfection, Gulie directly tightened his muscles to compress the wound to stop the bleeding instantly. In fact, with the super strong immunity of a person like Guile, it would be superfluous to use medicine and disinfection.
The Jiangjun glanced at the dozens of steel balls that had just been taken out of the iron plate and were still stained with blood. He then looked at Gu Lie and said in a deep voice: "Soldier, tell me, what's going on?"
Although Gulie was only a superior soldier, his powerful fighting ability made him famous. Gu Lie stood at attention: "Your Excellency Jiang Jun, the situation is like this..."
Gu Lieyan explained the situation just now in a concise and comprehensive manner, from when he had a bad premonition and came to guard him, to when he felt blessed and rushed in...
The young man frowned and asked, "Are you sure that no one entered Start's room before the explosion?
"I'm sure, sir, I swear on the honor of a soldier." Gulie vowed.
The young man was noncommittal and signaled that he could leave.
Then a middle-aged colonel approached from the side and whispered: "Your Excellency, we..."
Someone must take the blame if something goes wrong. This colonel is the person in charge of the officers' club. If something like this happens, he can't run away no matter what.
But what responsibility you bear, whether it is primary or secondary, the results are completely different. He, the colonel, should not even take the main responsibility, and he might even go to court-martial. If it is just a secondary responsibility, it is not impossible to pass it by lightly.
After all, here on the front line, no one can avoid death in battle.
Gu Lie left the scene, and when he arrived in the corridor, his originally straight back bent unconsciously.
He is a smart man, and he guessed from the situation just now that the blame will definitely fall on him today. But there was nothing he could do.
Gu Lie gritted his teeth and spat hard. Three days later, Du Fei returned to Xiangjiang.
On the same day, he came out of Saigon and came to the base provided by Lou Hongyi. He first took a boat to Da Nang, then from Da Nang to Sanya, and finally arrived in Xiangjiang.
Lou Hongyi has established strongholds in these places, which is already a quite mature transportation line. As for
Why come to Xiangjiang?
A gentleman's revenge is never too late, but a villain's revenge is never too late. Du Fei did not forget to put a bomb on his plane.
Now that Master Stater-chan has been solved, it's time to settle the score.
In this matter, Winnie is dead, and the remaining Tata Group is far beyond the reach of Indu. The first one to bear the brunt was Mortis who was stationed in Hong Kong.
Although this person was not the initiator, he was the direct handler.
But after arriving in Xiangjiang, Du Fei was not in a hurry to settle the score with Mortis. Anyway, if the monk can run away, he can't run away from the temple, so there is no shortage of time.
After staying in the hotel, I called home first to report that everything was safe.
Counting from leaving Kuching, Du Fei had no news for almost a week. The next step was to contact Bush.
Bush is also in Xiangjiang. This is not a coincidence, but he specially waited for Du Fei here.
He had always been convinced that Du Fei was not dead, especially after the accident of Young Master Starter, which made him even more sure. And it is concluded that if Du Fei appears again, he will most likely be in Xiangjiang.
After making the call, both of them could feel that the atmosphere was different from before. After a moment of silence, Du Fei took the lead and said, "Meet to talk?"
Bush responded with a "OK."
Half an hour later, the same restaurant that Du Fei and Bush had been to was still the same place.
Du Fei came in advance and ordered a pot of tea and some snacks. He didn't wait for Bush and started eating by himself. A few minutes later, Bush appeared at the top of the stairs, five minutes ahead of schedule.
Du Fei didn't even raise his head, he smiled casually and said, "Sorry, George, I'm a little hungry."
Bush also smiled, sat down, reached for a piece of snack, brought it to his mouth and took a bite. While chewing, he said vaguely: "It doesn't matter, I'm a little hungry too."
On the surface, there was no apparent barrier between the two.
But they all knew in their hearts that after the incident involving Young Master Stat, their relationship had already cracked.
This meeting is very critical. Whether the differences will be widened or the rifts will be healed depends on the subsequent choices and decisions of both parties.
In fact, Bush does not want this to happen. , He has long-term ambitions and needs to cooperate with Du Fei.
But there was nothing he could do.
Firstly, he doesn't have the final say in the family, and secondly, those people on Wall Street are very difficult to deal with. From the perspective of the family's interests, it is not wise to offend Wall Street for Du Fei.
Therefore, they acquiesced in Wall Street's instigation of Mr. Start to provide weapons and even helicopters to Adern in Tonga Province.
According to the plan of these people, the entire Kalimantan is their chess game. Du Fei's next step is to find a way to defeat Ed Enshaojiang who has their support.
However, Du Fei did not follow their script at all and jumped out of the so-called "chess game". A wave of tower-crossing counter-attacks took away Starter Shaojiang in an understatement.
Tell the other party clearly that you hit yours and I'll hit mine. The rules you set are invalid for me. Especially after learning the details of Master Stater's death, it was even more chilling.
Being able to put an anti-infantry mine on Master Stater's window under the eyes of a master like Gu Lie, and being able to be in a deserted place in the heavily guarded officers' club, let me ask you, are you afraid?
Bush sat down to eat his snack, and neither of them spoke again.
Until a minute later, Du Fei ate two almond cakes and took a sip of tea, feeling rested and said: "George, I thought we could always be friends."
Bush sighed: "I'm sorry." Du Fei looked up at him: "Then what?"
Bush understood that Du Fei was asking him about his choice again, and he went straight to the point without beating around the bush. Should we continue to cooperate or sever ties?
Bush took a deep breath, stood up and stretched out his hand across the table: "Du, we are friends~"
Du Fei looked at the hand in front of him, smiled, stood up, and held it: "Of course, George, we will always be friends!" But he silently added in his heart: "Before the goose falls."
Reaching a consensus again, neither of them mentioned Young Master Starter again, as if this person never existed at all. Instead, it talked a lot about the subsequent development of Bandar Seri Bega Petroleum Company.
Bush also readily agreed to Du Fei's previous request to be responsible for manufacturing some low-end oil production equipment. It also promised to send technical personnel for guidance and open necessary export restrictions on parts and components.
Although Bush did not say it explicitly, everyone knew that this was compensation for Du Fei. Of course, the premise of these compensations is that Du Fei kills Starter.
And in East Kalimantan, after being caught off guard, Park Zhe reacted, quickly stabilized his position, and shot down a helicopter with a portable air defense missile.
The people driving these helicopters are all Meguo pilots, sent privately by Master Starter. As soon as there were casualties, the remaining people immediately gave up their game.
Losing his air superiority, Pu Zhe made a counterattack and defeated Aiden again.
However, Ed En Shaojiang was not stupid. After receiving the equipment support, he counterattacked aggressively on the surface, but in fact he had a hand in reserve.
The real main force retreated after only one wave of counterattacks.
Apparently he was following Stat's orders, but in fact he was passive and slow in his work, waiting to see what would happen.
When he heard the news that Mr. Starter had been killed in the bombing, he immediately ran back to the southern part of Tonga Province with his people to survive. Bush did not wait long to reaffirm his partnership with Duffy.
Du Fei was in no hurry to leave...
Almost at the same time, in the terminal of Kai Tak Airport.
Mortis looked at his watch from time to time. It was still an hour before the flight to New Delhi took off. Because of the lag in intelligence, he only learned the news that Mr. Starter was killed in the bombing last night. Suddenly my heart skipped a beat.
Master Stater is dead, who did it?
A few days ago, he received news that the plan in Kalimantan was going very smoothly. Du Fei's plane exploded and Du Fei's body was completely gone.
At that time, he was still excited for a while, until the death of Master Starter suddenly made him realize that something was wrong. Although
There is no evidence, but Mortis always feels that Du Fei may not be dead.
This couldn't help but make him feel panicked.
He simply booked a flight ticket overnight and returned to Indu in the name of visiting relatives. Anyway, at least stay out of the limelight.
But at this moment, a man suddenly came and sat down next to him.
Mortis, who was a little distracted, was stunned and turned to look at the man with a surprised look on his face. It was an Indu man of medium build, looking at him with a smile.
Seeing him turn his head, he took the lead and said, "Sir Mortis, it's an honor to meet you here."
A trace of imperceptible disgust flashed in Mortis's eyes, and he immediately smiled: "Mr. Green, I am also very honored. Please send my noble regards to the Duke."
Green smiled and said: "Thank you, I will definitely convey it to you."
Mortis was a Kshatriya, while Green's family was originally only a third-class Vaisya.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to become Duke Mountbatten's servant, it would have been Green's turn to show off in front of him based on his status.
Mortis thought to himself, trying to hide it on the surface.
After all, the British Empire still retains some afterglow at this time.
The corners of Green's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mocking smile, as if he had already seen through Mortis's thoughts.
But he didn't care at all, just chatting: "By the way, Lord Mortis, did you know? Start is dead..." Mortis was stunned, not understanding what Green meant, and responded perfunctorily. There was a sound.
Green continued: "Du Fei came back just a few hours ago." Mortis felt a chill in his heart and his expression changed.
Although I had a hunch before, there was no evidence. Now that Green has said it, it should be settled.
Green is backed by the Yingguo intelligence system and is far more informed than Mortis.
Green continued: "He also knows that it was you who asked someone to put a bomb on his plane." Mortis was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and looked at Green with an incredulous look on his face.
Why did he ask someone to put a bomb on the plane?
He is at best an errand messenger in this matter. The real culprit is the Tata Group, Winnie Statter, the person in front of her...
Then a wave of fear surged into his heart, and Mortis said in horror: "What do you want to do!"
Green still had a smile on his face, with a strange light in his eyes, and at the same time, he made a "swirling" sound like a snake from his mouth.
At the next moment, Mortis, who had a horrified expression, suddenly calmed down, his eyelids began to droop, and he felt drowsy.
The corners of Green's mouth turned up, showing an evil smile, then he stood up and strode away. Mortis also followed suit...
After a while, there was a bang.
There was a commotion below the terminal, and many staff members gathered around. There was a person lying on the ground, it was Mortis!
Green stood expressionless not far away, watching condescendingly through the window.
Just a few seconds ago, Mortis suddenly jumped out of the window five or six meters away from him. A drop of more than ten meters is fatal.
Two minutes later, a young man came over in a hurry and whispered: "Sir, the death has been confirmed." Green nodded and said calmly: "Okay, after cutting off this tail, we should leave." The young man smiled slightly Bow.
Green looked through the window into the distance and murmured: "Du Fei, you are really... But this time is just the beginning. I hope you will have such good luck next time."
After saying that, he asked again: "Is there any news from Airul Ali Khan?"
The young man said: "I'm sorry, sir, we haven't found his whereabouts yet, but we are certain that he is near Hyderbala City."
Green said calmly: "I don't want to hear apologies. Give me the results I want before arriving in New Delhi." "Yes, sir!" "
The young man puffed out his chest but lowered his head.
At the end of the day, Du Fei learned that Mortis was dead at the tea restaurant. It was already an hour later. Du Fei silently took a sip of tea and chewed the flower seeds.
"Kill and silence?"
He mumbled something in his mouth and took another sip of tea.
Originally, when he came to see Mortis, he just wanted to come and not be rude. Since you want to blow up my plane, then I will kill your people.
Unexpectedly, before he could make a move, Mortis actually jumped off the building and died!
And he died at the airport, which was just like a louse on a bald head. It was obvious that he was killed to silence him. As for suicide, it didn't exist at all.
Since he went to the airport, he was planning to escape, so how could he suddenly commit suicide? Mortis's death was obviously an attempt to cover up the truth.
In theory, it was no secret that the Tata Group had a feud with Du Fei. Mortis participated in the plan of the Tata Group and Winnie.
Among them, Winnie was already dead, and the Tata Group was in the open, so there was no motive to kill and silence. Now that Mortis is dead, what does the murderer want to cover up?
Du Fei thought silently.
Could it be that there is another party involved besides the Tata Group?
Moreover, this party has not appeared in Du Fei's field of vision so far, only in this way is it necessary to silence him. "Who could it be?"
Du Fei muttered in his heart, knowing that someone was calculating against him but not knowing who the other party was was a bad feeling. Taking a deep breath, Du Fei decided not to worry about it for the time being.
I'll go back and ask Director Liao to see if I can find out who Mortis has been in contact with recently. Maybe I can find some clues.
Then Du Fei stayed in Hong Kong for another two days, hanging out with Zhou Peng, Chen Fangshi, and Lei Luo. He also contacted the Zheng family.
Not only Shan Guo, but now Lin Tiansheng has a gem mine in his hands, and he has to distribute it in Hong Kong. On the third day, Du Fei left Hong Kong and returned to Guangzhou. He took a hitchhiker and finally returned to Beijing the next morning.
This time, the trip was not short. When I left, I was still wearing a cotton coat. When I came back, the treetops had sprouted green buds. In a few days, it will be May Day.
