Chapter 887 The first patrol mission

The group flew directly to Yunshan Province by plane, led by a leader from the International Peacekeeping Corps of the Secret Service Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security.

After getting off the plane, we took a bus and rushed to the six-nation peacekeeping office of China, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia in Hongjing City, Yunshan Province. After reorganizing, we took a boat along the Lancang River to go abroad.

Arrive at Huay Xay, Laos. This is the transit station and headquarters for peacekeeping police from six countries patrolling the Mekong River.

Xu Zheng's job seems to be very simple. They just patrol the Mekong River and handle all cases that occur in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin.

However, the social security situation in the Mekong River Basin is very complicated, with frequent crimes such as hijacking of merchant ships, illegal smuggling, trafficking in prohibited drugs, and gun trafficking.

Therefore, the seemingly simple task is actually quite risky. There was a movie more than ten years ago, and the names of 14 domestic police officers appeared in the end credits.

Although so many years have passed, criminal incidents in the Mekong River Basin still occur one after another.

Therefore, the original four-nation Mekong River joint law enforcement has now become a six-nation joint one. The patrol scope of the peacekeeping police is much larger than that of more than ten years ago, not to mention the difficulty of the task.

It was already evening when everyone arrived in Huishai. After briefly attending the welcome party and having a meal, they were assigned dormitories and prepared to rest.

Xu Zheng actually came here for other purposes. The so-called peacekeeping police job was just gold plating for him.

The dormitory was a four-person room, and Xu Zheng and Zhang Haishan were assigned together. It was sunny in early March, and even at night, it was still very hot here.

"Captain Zhang, you have been to so many countries on peacekeeping missions, so why don't you go to work in the United Nations? The salary is high and the domestic level remains the same."

At this time, another colleague in the dormitory asked curiously: "By the way, Captain Zhang, we have one day off every week. How do you arrange it?"

It wasn't called peacekeeping police at that time, because the four countries of ours formed a joint patrol team. But later, as crime became increasingly rampant in South East Asia, there were also changes in international diplomacy.

Now it has become a United Nations-led, Mekong River peacekeeping police team established by six countries to help combat criminal groups in Southeast Asia.

But of course it would be a good thing if you can get credit while plating gold.

Don't look at the foreigners we met today who speak fluent English. Maybe it's because their way of thinking is different from ours, and some things are difficult to communicate.

Regarding Xu Zheng's question, Zhang Haishan was silent for a while, and seemed to think carefully before answering: "I am now the captain of the special service brigade of Dongshan Provincial Department, and the actual leader.

After washing, everyone lay on the bed and finally had time to chat for a while.

The Four Kingdoms became Six Kingdoms, which also spread to Malay, Lion City, Indonesia and other countries.

In fact, our tasks are similar to before.

Fortunately, the accommodation conditions here are pretty good. In addition to air conditioning, there are also various anti-mosquito facilities. At least I haven't been bitten by mosquitoes while sitting in the house.

There are also communication issues with these foreigners that can drive you crazy.

In short, if it is not about money, it is more comfortable to work in China. "

"How you arrange it depends on your own ideas." Zhang Haishan said about his own experience, "I saved for 3 months, a total of 12 days of vacation and then returned to China.

And they were still wearing winter clothes when they set off from the capital. It turned out to be hotter as they went south.

This is true. Xu Zheng personally doesn't like to deal with foreigners, especially people here in South East Asia. They always feel that they grew up eating betel nuts.

It was not Zhang Haishan's first time to come to the Mekong River. It must have been ten years since he last came. Lying on the bed, he said to Xu Zheng on the upper bunk: "I remember that the last time I came, it was a joint operation between China, Myanmar, Laos and Thailand.

After working for the United Nations for a few years, I may not be able to reach this position.

Basically, there are no changes. The difference is that you will receive an additional UN mission subsidy. If the mission is outstanding, you will also receive a Peace Medal. "

There are also many colleagues who are taking advantage of the holidays to travel around.

What about you, Xiao Xu? This must be your first time going abroad to perform such peacekeeping work, right?

I remember that you are already married. You must be saving up your vacation time to go back to China to visit relatives, right? "

As the captain, Zhang Haishan thought more about not carrying out the six-nation patrol mission, but bringing all his team members back home. Especially Xu Zheng, he still remembered the warnings given to him more than once by the leaders of the peacekeeping corps of the ministries and commissions.

He said that he must protect the young man in front of him.

The leader didn't say why specifically, but it seems that Xu Zheng's previous results were too good, and he was considered by the leaders of the ministry as a seed candidate to take over.

"Xiao Xu, since you want to take advantage of your vacation to wander around here, I'll give you a tour guide." Zhang Haishan didn't hesitate much, or even weighed the pros and cons, but immediately decided to sacrifice his vacation.

Xu Zheng was moved in his heart, and wanted to persuade Zhang Haishan that there was no need to do this. After all, his real purpose was definitely not to have fun, but to perform a special mission.

But now that there were two other roommates in the dormitory, it was crowded and crowded, so he had no choice but to nod his thanks first, "Thank you so much, Captain Zhang, haha. To be honest, the higher the level in the country, the less freedom there is.

I just took advantage of this opportunity to wander around in this foreign country and gain knowledge. "

"We support the news, but Xiao Xu, you are young and handsome. You should tighten your belt when you go out. The service staff here are uneven, so don't mess around."

"It's okay to mess around, but if I find the male waiter when I'm looking for service, are you still willing to do it to Xiao Xu?"

Xu Zheng laughed. He had made such colorful jokes with his classmates after turning off the lights when he was in school. However, now that he was proud of his identity, it was nothing to listen to.

If he really wanted to say it, he really couldn't say it.

Fortunately, this kind of joke only made everyone laugh, and Zhang Haishan continued to share with everyone the customs and customs here, as well as the rules and regulations of the police forces in various countries.

And what he himself learned about the dangers of the Mekong River Basin.

The night here is very short. A sharp whistle sounded at five o'clock in the morning. Xu Zheng woke up instantly and realized that it was the whistle for morning training. He hurriedly put on his training clothes.

In the courtyard of the station, all the peacekeeping police participating in the six-nation joint patrol of the Mekong River soon formed six teams according to different countries.

Xu Zheng stood third from the bottom in their queue. Except for Zhang Haishan, everyone else was arranged in order of height from low to high.

He silently observed other queues and found that some of the people in these queues also had Chinese faces, but most of them had faces unique to Southeast Asia.

Wheat-colored skin, high hip bones, high nose bridge, deep eyes... In addition, Xu Zheng also observed that their standing posture and temperament were similar to ordinary domestic special police officers.

It is obvious that during the six-nation joint patrol of the Mekong River for more than 20 years, the police of the flower-growing country have taught a large number of apprentices.

And these apprentices’ apprentices taught many people. Sure enough, as the morning exercise began, Xu Zheng felt more and more that the peacekeeping police from the other five countries were actually no different from the domestic special police.

If everyone hadn't spoken English, he would have felt as if he had never gone abroad.

In addition to the morning jog, there is also a shooting training. It is said to be training, but in fact the senior management of the station wants to see everyone's shooting skills.

Xu Zheng didn't want to stand out, so in the following rifle shooting and pistol shooting, he only performed at an average level.

Zhang Haishan and the others knew Xu Zheng's true abilities. Fortunately, everyone felt that the young man was new to the country and was restless and had not shown his abilities.

After the morning exercise, a meeting was held on the spot, and the relevant leaders of the station came out one after another to introduce themselves... After a boring opening remarks, someone finally began to assign specific tasks.

The so-called six-nation joint patrol of the Mekong River means that the peacekeeping police of the six nations were broken up and patrolled the Mekong River in batches and sections.

Xu Zheng and Zhong Kaiping were assigned to a team, plus peacekeeping police from other five countries, and were assigned to a law enforcement boat No. 53102.

The captain is Tan Jianjun, a veteran policeman from the Yunshan Provincial Water Patrol Corps. It is said that he has been working on this river for 30 years and has accumulated countless credits.

Xu Zheng saw that the old police officer was wearing a flower, and he was a third-level police officer.

It is said that Tan Jianjun, who is in his fifties, can be transferred to the Yunshan Provincial Department as a casual post. There is no need to be on this seemingly peaceful Mekong River.

Driving a law enforcement boat back and forth.

But Xu Zheng knows that there are many veteran police officers in the country, like Tan Jianjun, who insist on working on the front line just to help young comrades get into work as soon as possible.

Tan Jianjun is an old helmsman who has been working for more than 20 years. He has witnessed the joint patrols of the Mekong River from the four countries in the early days to the joint patrols of the six countries today. He has driven law enforcement boats across the Mekong River countless times.

He has also written many books on patrolling the Mekong River.

For example, "Lancang-Mekong River Channel and Pilotage" has become one of the books that peacekeeping police need to study.

After Xu Zheng and his teammates boarded the boat, the first time they saw Tan Jianjun, they felt that this old policeman was full of stories. His body was already slightly stooped, and his face had already been tanned red and black.

Especially with the hearing aids on his ears, Xu Zheng understood how difficult the career this veteran policeman persisted in was.

Law enforcement boats in the past were not as good as today, especially in terms of noise. People in the electromechanical team were often affected by noise. Over time, everyone's hearing deteriorated.

Tan Jianjun was very friendly to Xu Zheng and his new wave of newcomers. In addition to saying hello to everyone in English, he also said a few words in Chinese to Xu Zheng and Zhong Kaiping.

"At first glance, you two are colleagues from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Be prepared to endure hardships when you come here."

Xu Zheng has always had great respect for his seniors. He smiled and said: "Old captain, I have been running on this river for more than 20 years without mentioning the hardship. The hardship we endured is incomparable to yours."

"Haha." Tan Jianjun looked very happy when he heard this, his thin face was full of wrinkles, blooming like chrysanthemums, "I know you, I thought you were not worthy of your name.

But looking at it now, I can only say that it is better to meet in person than to be famous.

The young man was not only handsome, but his eyes looked evil, and he had a lot of blood on his hands. It was definitely not what they said.

The detective who handles cases encouraged by leaders of some positions. "

Xu Zheng didn't expect that this old man was such a down-to-earth person who spoke his mind. He smiled, knowing that he had won too many medals at a young age, and many of his domestic colleagues would be dissatisfied and jealous.

"Looking at what you always say, I feel like no matter how humble I am, will you think I'm hypocritical?"

Tan Jianjun smiled and chatted with Xu Zheng for a while. When it was time to set off, he took off his hearing aid and put on headphones, picked up the loudspeaker and ordered to set sail.

This time, Xu Zheng and his team patrolled from Huay Shai to Jinghong City in Yunshan Province. The time was uncertain. If everything went well, they would return in one or two days. If not, it might take three or four days.

If you encounter a difficult errand, it may take longer.

Law enforcement boat No. 53102 went north upstream. The speed was indeed not very fast. Xu Zheng, Zhong Kaiping and their new companions were sitting in the cabin on the second floor. Although they were from different countries, it did not affect communication.

Speaking English with different accents, looking at the scenery on both sides of the Mekong River, listening to experienced veterans share their previous experiences in patrolling.

Xu Zheng thinks this job is pretty good.

However, when we arrived in Myanmar and headed further north in the afternoon, Sompashan, the team leader of their patrol team, reminded us in English with a serious look on his face: "Every year, our patrol team changes people.

Unfriendly things always happen in the China-Myanmar border basin.

It may be smuggling or smuggling, or it may be selling illegal drugs.

So everyone, get ready, check your weapons and equipment, and be ready. "

After speaking, he glanced specifically at Xu Zheng and Zhong Kaiping, and reminded him again: "Our mission is to put our own safety first, and there is no need to insist on catching people alive.

Because if people are caught alive, there will be more sacrifices. "

Xu Zheng and the two nodded. The Thai big brother was right. Catching them alive would not only be more dangerous, but would also attract associates of criminal gangs.

Holding the Czech SAVZ58 assault rifle in his hand, Xu Zheng checked the magazine, which was filled with 30 rounds of bullets, and then checked the M1935 and Browning high-power automatic pistol on his waist.

He has a heroic spirit of holding a gun in his hand and fighting with whoever dares to fight, but he also understands that you can't just shoot casually here. It is said to be patrolling, but in fact, when you really encounter gunmen, you still use defense as a means of defense. host.

On this point, these peacekeeping police officers had been warned many times by the leaders of the peacekeeping corps before going abroad.

It probably means that they are worried that these newcomers will be too excited when they go abroad for the first time, and that they are afraid that they will shoot without restraint.
Xu Zheng looked at the emerald green scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. To be honest, he didn't care about the instructions of the leaders. If he was really in danger, he would definitely shoot back.

There are many bends in the Mekong River, especially in the Jinshan Kok area, and there are more and more merchant ships here. At the same time, Songpa Shan's face in the team is becoming more and more serious.

Other members of the team also silently clenched their weapons and carefully observed the passing merchant ships.

At this time, a dark-faced peacekeeping policeman in the team pointed to a ship three hundred meters ahead on the left and reported: "Captain, the merchant ship with the cyan flag in front seems to have never been seen before."

Xu Zheng picked up the telescope on his chest and looked over. The ship was twice as big as the law enforcement boat. It was about twelve meters long and had a three-story cabin. It was impossible to see clearly how many people were inside.

Songpashan observed carefully for a while, nodded and said: "Go ahead and give the signal to stop the ship first. Everyone will be on guard and wait for my command."

 In 2024, it will still be a joint patrol by the four countries, not the six countries. The Chinese law enforcement boats will set off from the Lancang River in XSBNDZ Zhizhou. The exact location of the patrol cannot be found...

  Many of them are adapted by the author personally, so don’t take them for granted.
