Chapter 812 Papua Free Army
In the forest by the stream, a group of militants wearing camouflage uniforms and holding semi-automatic rifles were confronting Jiang Feng, Ma Yun, Ma Tao, Qi Tian, ​​and Wang Daqing, pointing their guns at the young special police officers.

Jiang Feng and the others also showed their weapons, and the scene was full of gunpowder.

At the moment when the sword was on the verge of breaking out, Gao Fei and Tangning rushed over.

The leader of the group of militants on the opposite side, a middle-aged man wearing a beret askew, turned his head and glanced in this direction. His eyes fell on Tang Ning's face, and he froze for a moment.

Tangning also recognized this person, and quickly waved her hands and shouted, "Lieutenant Colonel Gail, do you still recognize me?"

"Of course!" The man in the beret smiled, "Dear Ms. Bron, long time no see, how are you?"

"Not bad, how have you been doing this year?"

"Things are tough, Ms. Bloom, but we still have to fight."

Lieutenant Colonel Gale tucked his pistol back into his waist and told his men to put down their guns.

The special police team also put away their weapons when they saw that the crisis was over.

"Sister Tang, what does 'Bloom' mean?" Gao Fei asked in a low voice.

"The Batavian word burung means 'flying bird'. My pseudonym." Tangning replied with a smile.

"Which unit does the group of militants on the opposite side belong to? The leading officer seems to know you very well?" Jiang Feng also came to inquire.

"They are a guerrilla group under the 'Papua Free Army', mainly operating in the southern part of Irian Island. Lieutenant Colonel Gail is the number two figure in the guerrilla group, and he is an old friend of mine."

"Wow! Sister Tang, you also have friends in the military? As expected of a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, you have a wide range of friends!" Ma Yun was full of admiration.

Tangning shook her head and chuckled, "Xiaoyun, you misunderstood. The Papua Freedom Army is not the regular army of the Republic of Batavia. In fact, they belong to the anti-government armed forces."

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Gail walked over, looked at Gao Fei and the others warily, and asked Tangning in a dialect that outsiders could not understand, "Are these few of your friends also reporters?"

"They are all my colleagues."

Tangning responded with the unique skills of journalists, neither lying nor revealing the identities of Gao Fei and the others.

Lieutenant Colonel Gail's expression softened, and he asked her, "What's your intention in coming here?"

"My colleagues and I intend to sneak into the Hiti Gold Mine and investigate the inside story of some things."

"Ha! I understand. You guys want to make big news, exposing the evil deeds of gold mines that cruelly squeeze labor, destroy the ecological environment, and plunder the wealth that should belong to us Papuans!"

Lieutenant Colonel Gale looked excited.

Tangning smiled helplessly, she couldn't just say that he might be wrong.

"Come with me, Ms. Bron, bring your colleagues, come to our camp to rest, and then discuss cooperation!"

"Lieutenant Colonel, I haven't planned to cooperate with you yet..."

"You should cooperate with us, ma'am, I dare say it's good for us!" Lieutenant Colonel Gail said meaningfully.

"what do you mean?"

"We are also planning to attack Hitty Gold Mine. You and I have the same enemy, why not join forces?"

Tangning hesitated for a moment, then turned around and translated Lieutenant Colonel Gale's invitation to Gao Fei and the others, asking for their opinions.

"We should accept Lieutenant Colonel Gail's invitation." Ma Tao said in a deep voice, "If we don't accept the cooperation, we may be regarded as enemies by the other side and be attacked by the rebels."

"It's just a group of terrorists with old equipment, nothing to be afraid of."

Qi Tian crossed his arms in front of his chest, with a sneer on his lips.

"Xiaotian, don't cause trouble!" Wang Daqing's expression darkened, "As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake. In other people's territory, it is not a good thing to have too many enemies!"

"I also think we can consider cooperating with them." Jiang Feng said, "But it's not because I'm afraid of causing trouble, but because I'm worried that they will ruin our business."

Gao Fei understands the subtext of his girlfriend.

Even if this guerrilla team is not difficult to fight for itself, if you take your own path and I take my own path, you can't stand the idea that each other is thinking about the Hiti gold mine. The two sides will either cooperate or inevitably conflict.

For example, on the way to sneak into the gold mine, the guerrillas also launched a fierce attack on the gold mine. The bullets do not have eyes. What if they cause accidental injury?
To take a step back, if the guerrillas startled the snake and aroused the vigilance of the mercenary team stationed in the mine, and stepped up their guard, it would also cause a lot of trouble for the special police team.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei also made up his mind and said to Tangning, "Let's go to the camp of the guerrillas and exchange information with their leaders. If we can cooperate, we can cooperate. If we can't, we can at least make a good call in advance to avoid hindering each other. .”

Tangning nodded, then translated Gao Fei's words into Papuan dialect, and told Lieutenant Colonel Gail.

"Excellent, gentlemen, please follow me!"

Lieutenant Colonel Gail seemed very enthusiastic, and intentionally or unintentionally looked at Gao Fei twice.

Based on the way Tangning talked with Gao Fei and the others just now, this shrewd guerrilla leader had already seen that Gao Fei was the one talking about the "reporters corps".

On the way to the guerrilla camp, Tangning took the initiative to tell Gao Fei the ins and outs of her relationship with the rebels.

"Last spring, I planned to write a book about the 'Free Papua Movement' in depth. In order to collect information, I came to Irian Island and interviewed many guerrillas, including Lieutenant Colonel Gail and his boss Will. Colonel Lun."

"The so-called 'Free Papua Movement' refers to a separatist organization active on Irian Island, including the anti-government armed forces under the organization. Its program of action is to seek the independence of the Irian Jaya region from the Batavian government rule and achieve independence.”

"The main supporters of the 'Free Papua Movement' are the aboriginal Papuans on the island. They consider themselves to have no historical and cultural connection with the Republic of Batavia. Davia's mainstream social culture is out of place."

"The Batavian Republic's rule over Irian Island, in the eyes of these aborigines, is an illegal military occupation."

"In addition to cultural factors, the Papuans and the Batavian government also have deep economic conflicts."

"The west of Irian Island has the world's largest gold mine and the second largest copper mine, as well as rich natural resources such as palm oil, natural gas, spices, and forests, all of which are monopolized by the Batavian government and Western multinational companies."

"The 540 million aborigines living on this land do not enjoy the economic benefits brought by natural resources at all. Watching the wealth on this land being plundered, it is inevitable to feel resentment."

"Since the 60s when West Papua was annexed by the Republic of Batavia, the West Papua independence movement was born. Today, instead of calming down, it has intensified."
