Chapter 326 Chapter 323 Safety Blue
The mercenaries did not dare to steal the limelight from the PCPD and riot squad, and began to withdraw before they achieved victory, just passing by the reporters who entered the controlled area for interviews. Judging from the length of the reporter’s fleet, this time the “higher authorities” are going to make big news.
Brewer Pace, the current chief of the PCPD, is like the most popular TV star today. He accepted interviews from all media in a star-studded manner. He solemnly announced on camera: The Wild Monkey Gang has become history and is a chronic disease of the city. Finally got a complete cure.
His voice and smile spread through the radio waves processed by the video chip to thousands of households in Peicheng, including Zhuang Xuteng's home. He had just finished martial arts training with Ge Gongdao. The two were sitting side by side on the sofa watching TV, while Prince was getting ice packs from the refrigerator for the two "hard-working men".
For fear of being regarded as a "remnant" of the Wild Monkey Gang and being punished, Ge Gongdao has not gone out recently. Missing the commissioned task was like missing hundreds of millions. In addition, he seemed to be unable to defeat Naike in the training just now, which made him feel even worse. As soon as Brother Dao saw Brewer Pace's face and heard his words, he immediately "hummed" hard. "If you have a genuine PCPD chief and gather all the strength of the overall situation, if you can't even take down the Wild Monkey Gang, then don't mess around!"
Zhuang Xuteng shook his head with a smile and said, "If it weren't for our mercenaries and those riot control teams, he might not be able to take down the Wild Monkey Gang."
Ge Gongdao was stunned and asked: "Is the Wild Monkey Gang so strong? I know that King Kong is very powerful, but their shortcomings are also obvious, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with. Naike, you were at the scene, what did you see? "
"The response and capabilities of the Wild Monkey Gang have not exceeded our expectations. I just think that the PCPD is weaker than expected. Although I don't expect them to have the spirit of sacrifice, what they lack now is the most basic fighting spirit. I am not in Chapter 1 On the front line, we just heard what our mercenaries said: The PCPD who was photographed in the front did not dare to fight or rush. They could only show their authority when things were going well. Once the situation went bad, they would only call for support. "
"Oh, you can imagine." Ge Gongdao took the ice packs from Prince, attached them to his arms with simple tape, and then said: "But the PCPD is still quite capable when it gets serious. It's still the same after 6 years. Seven years ago, I saw them fight with a gang, and at that time they pushed the gang called...Xing to the ground and beat them. That gang was much more powerful than the Wild Monkey Gang."
"I've heard about this too. They are the Star Envoy Gang, a group of drug dealers." Prince placed hot tea in front of the two of them, then sat on the sofa next to him and said, "After destroying the Star Envoy Gang, , The situation in Peicheng has been better for a while. There are less drugs and less looting. Some mercenaries want to change careers and join the PCPD. After destroying the Wild Monkey Gang this time, I hope Peicheng will also be better for a while. "
"Even if it's just a short-term improvement, it's better than no change at all." Ge Gongdao slowly sipped the hot water. The internal heat and external cold treatment method combined with the dormant martial arts skills allowed him to eliminate fatigue faster.
As if to specifically respond to the general sentiments of the audience, Director Brewer Pace on the TV said: "This victory is not the end of the action, but the beginning of the action. In Peicheng, the dangerous blue crystal has already If left unchecked, it will eventually destroy everyone's beautiful home. Parents look at their children, wives look at their husbands, brothers, sisters, family members, and friends. No one wants to see the people they care about being exposed to dangerous blue. Drugs ruin lives! PCPD will continue to take action across the city..."
The three people in front of the TV looked at each other, and they couldn't believe their ears. Is the PCPD Chief declaring a full-scale war on drugs? More than half of the gangs in Peicheng, large and small, are related to drugs. The remaining half do not want to be involved, but are not strong enough and have not yet qualified.
The four strongest gangs, Blood Bat, Cemetery, Blue Fire, and Li Ying, focus on different businesses, but there is no so-called monopoly between them. Anyone who can make money dares to do it. No one has forgotten the blue crystal. . The difference between these gangs lies in whether they focus on blue crystals, whether they are closer to the source of the goods, and whether they earn first-hand, second-hand or third-hand profits.
Regardless of whether it is the gang world or the black market, everyone believes that the Cemetery Gang is the closest to the source of blue crystals among the four major gangs. Whether it is quality, quantity or sales price, it is it that manipulates others and not the other way around. Next is the Liying Gang. They have many chain beauty and massage parlors in Peicheng and have shares in many bars and restaurants. As the one with the largest number and widest distribution of small and medium-sized industries among the four major gangs, Liying Gang has the best sales channels and its business is also booming.
The remaining two gangs do not rely on blue crystals as their main business, but they certainly will not sit back and watch this part of their income disappear without doing anything.
"I declare that I admire Brewer Pace very much, but he will not live long." Ge Gongdao shook his head and said: "This guy must be crazy! Don't talk about whether the PCPD has this ability, just talk about how many people there are in the PCPD. Will he go crazy with him? Even if he can form a commando team, I think he will succeed. Who is going to kill him if he offends all the gangs at once?"
Prince tilted his head and said: "I also think he is crazy, but does he have other plans, such as becoming famous, leaving the PCPD before things get too big, participating in the election of a constitutional government, and embarking on a political path? ?”
"Indeed, that possibility does exist." Ge Gongdao suddenly realized and said, "I understand. He wants to go for the persona of a pitiful fighter, setting up an invincible enemy for himself and making himself appear to fight again and again. As long as he can always arrange a plan to get out and does not actually initiate any meaningful actions, his persona can be stable and at least it can deceive several election cycles!"
Zhuang Xuteng has been frowning and said at this time: "What if he is not lying?"
"He is either lying to others or lying to himself." Ge Gongdao shook his head and said: "Gangs will not give up profits, they will firmly guard their wallets. If he just wants to eradicate a gang and redistribute the territory, it may be possible to achieve it. This kind of thing that touches everyone's cake is not a good idea! You wait and see, I bet he will not survive for two weeks."
Prince smiled and said: "Is this going to start a game? Seeing that he can become PCPD I'll give him one more week based on the director's ability. After three weeks, he will either switch to politics or be dead. I'll bet one thousand euros. "
"I'll bet one thousand too." Ge Gongdao patted Zhuang Xuteng and said, "You don't want to bet? Do you think two weeks or three weeks?"
Zhuang Xuteng thought carefully and said, "I don't know how he can realize his plan and survive the threat of the gang. Even if there is no gang, there is still the company. This blue crystal industry connects quite a lot of people... Forget it, I'll use one thousand euros to invest in a dream: I bet he can survive for at least two months, at least one or two successful actions."
"Okay. Two weeks, three weeks and two months, one thousand euros, we'll see the result then. If no one guesses right, then everyone will take out the money to celebrate together, for our own stupidity and simple happiness." Ge Gongdao stretched out his palm, and Zhuang Xuteng and Prince patted it each, which was considered a contract. They put the matter aside for the time being and began to study the situation of the new store that was being prepared for decoration.
Since Nightingale and Rock Sparrow officially joined the team, they had the need to open an implant maintenance shop, so the house that was originally to be sold was finally kept. The four people jointly invested, and Doyle also took out a part of the funds. The two adjacent duplex villas were operated as a whole, and there were more things that could be done.
Doyle was very creative. He planned to renovate the underground parts of the two houses as a whole. It would not cost much, but it could achieve the effect of a fortress. Although Zhuang Xuteng only wanted a safe house for retreat, Doyle's fortress plan was very good, combining creativity and practicality, so the four of them agreed.
The underground part was pre-assembled in the form of container assembly, and it was directly laid after excavation, connected to the pipeline, and then sealed with soil, which could save both time and cost. The renovation of the two buildings took about five months, which was just right for working while keeping an eye on the laws and regulations and opening procedures of the implant maintenance shop. Fortunately, Doyle was watching the whole process, so as not to delay Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao from carrying out the mercenary mission. Although they have more than enough funds, it is not a good feeling to spend money without income.
As the scale expands, the number of staff must be increased. Zhuang Xuteng told Doyle about a person and asked him to recruit this person and keep him nearby for observation. This person is Dr. Truss Booker, who now lives in Peicheng under the fake identity of "Lando Guy" and has gradually accepted the new life.
"Doyle, you have to pay attention to this person and don't let him cause trouble. I can only tell you part of the situation, such as his identity is not what it seems on the surface." Zhuang Xuteng said: "Take care of him, let him live a normal life, and have a relatively safe social environment. If you find that he has said something abnormal or inappropriate, tell me in time and I will deal with it."
Speaking of which, Dr. Booker has lost everything he once had, which is quite miserable. The Institute of the Constitutional Government betrayed him, and the company's secret agency wanted to exploit his thoughts and knowledge, which still makes him feel anxious all day long. Although he has a new identity provided by the White Flag Grocery Store and can move around outside, he is scared and finds it difficult to get out of the cage of his heart.
The doctor still lived in the safe house hotel provided by Zhuang Xuteng, eating the same old food and waiting for the door that had never been knocked. Zhuang Xuteng asked Doyle to go over this time. On the one hand, he felt sorry for the old man, and on the other hand, he felt that a long time had passed and the new identity could fully protect him. It would be more likely to get into trouble if he kept holding it in. He asked Doyle to make good arrangements for "Lando Guy" and create a relatively relaxed environment.
Life must always progress, and it will be too boring if it remains unchanged. This is true for Dr. Booker and for Peicheng. The respected Director Bruel Pace, contrary to the expectations of most normal people in Peicheng, actually went to war with the blue crystal. He ordered the PCPD to raid the warehouses of several Blue Savage secret stores and confiscated and destroyed nearly a ton of Blue Savage finished products. The value of these goods on the black market is about 40 to 50 million, which is a loss that many gangs cannot bear silently.
Everyone believes that the gang's revenge is about to begin, and those big gangs that have not been damaged for the time being will not sit idly by and watch this situation continue. As expected, Chief Pace was attacked by shootings, explosions and poisonings one after another. Fortunately, with the self-sacrificing cover and professional security work of PCPD agents, he finally escaped danger. He said that he would continue to promote this project to eliminate the harm of blue crystals to the health of Peicheng residents. His statement received a lot of support, and many people who donated money and materials to him finally dared to take off their masks occasionally.
Amid the growing calls, Chief Pace is also constantly promoting new actions. One after another, shops selling blue savages were taken down, and many gang members who resisted stubbornly were killed in gun battles. So far, these actions have only targeted some small gangs, and the real four gangs in Peicheng have not been affected at all. Some people also question whether Chief Pace is bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. In essence, he is still trying to gain political capital, but everyone has to admit that even if he is really afraid of the strong, daring to bully the weak is better than being a good-for-nothing.
The city-wide operation forced the PCPD to operate at full capacity, but after the damage caused by the previous incidents, the level of resources it could actually mobilize was actually reduced. This part of the reduction needs to be supplemented by the riot strike team, and mercenaries are also a very useful supplement. In order to better combat criminals, the PCPD has introduced new rules. In these cases, the stolen money and dirty things collected will be rewarded to informants and "brave" citizens according to a certain proportion of their value.
Using drug dealers' money to fight drug dealers is a good job! In the past, the PCPD often withheld the bounties given to mercenaries and dragged them to voluntary duty. Now it is different. The money is given in time and in sufficient quantity, and the middlemen and mercenaries are more willing to take this kind of work. Lucy has investigated that the PCPD must have secretly transported some of the blue wilds collected out of Peicheng. No matter whether these things are burned in the wilderness or go to harm other cities, the PCPD's funding pool has become sufficient anyway, and the daily wages can always be accurately received.
As Lucy's capable team, Zhuang Xuteng and his team have been very busy recently and have participated in many PCPD operations. During this period, Zhuang Xuteng also specifically asked about Palovic's situation. He always felt that he still owed the Cemetery Gang a task when he came out to work, and there were personal connections in it. It would be rude not to say hello. Palovic was very happy after receiving Zhuang Xuteng's call. He laughed several times, and then said that the riot strike team was also very busy recently and had no time to deal with the Cemetery Gang. He also asked Nike not to focus on making money and to boost his confidence quickly. Compared with the small gangs that are currently being hit, the Cemetery Gang is rich and is the real target worth attacking.
After a month of continuous crackdowns on small gangs, Zhuang Xuteng won a bonus of 2,000 euros, and then used the money to treat Dao Ge and his wife to a meal. That night, they saw Director Pace on the news again. This time he was not alone, but sat with several important figures in the business and legal circles of Peicheng. These people have a close relationship with the four major gangs. It can almost be said that they are the spokespersons of the four major gangs.
"Blue Savage, a drug that is harmful to health and society, must be eradicated. This has never changed. We must not only eliminate it from the surface market, but also eliminate it from the root demand!" Director Pace said while applauding, "Let us welcome Dr. Avatar to introduce us to Blue Savage's treatment and alternative medicine program: Safe Blue!"
