Chapter 171 Riot (Happy New Year)
Gu Ji frowned, and subconsciously remembered what Prime Minister Dieter said before his departure. The Midnapur area was still discussing how to deal with the problem, so he asked Fatima to contact Minister Anurag to use the central cabinet government to further implement pressure.

5 minutes passed.

Anuragage called back and said that he could not find the prefectural government either, but he had already reported it to the cabinet secretariat, and the central government would send a commissioner to assist in communication.

"It will take at least three hours from New Delhi to here, and it will be too late to collect the body by then."

Gu Ji shook his head, not wanting to waste time by waiting around, so he went back to find Swaraj and briefly recounted the unexpected situation, "We must first find a way to find the fire engineering team and transport the explosives there."

Swaraj didn't speak, but turned his head and looked at Marlowe.

A hint of hostility flashed faintly in the latter's eyes.

"Group B stays at the position of the transport plane to ensure the safety of the equipment and explosives. Group A follows me to find the fire engineering team!"

"Group B received it!"

"Group A received!"

16 special border force soldiers shouted in batches.

Gu Ji asked Fatima to stay where she was and continue to contact the prefectural government, because she was a civilian official after all, and it was difficult for her to keep up with the mountain troops trekking across the country.

The soldiers in group A simply arranged the accompanying equipment, and then trotted forward according to the target points guided by the care.

The violent wind and heavy rain were like countless whips, beating the ground fiercely.

Stepping on the soles of the huge rubber boots, the rain and water splashed, making a pattering sound, and it was confusing.

Gu Ji stopped and picked up the binoculars to observe carefully.

He checked the location on the map with his mobile phone, and it was at least 5 kilometers away from here to East Midnapur County. According to the army's cross-country weight-bearing training standards, it would take at least half an hour, which was a waste of time and energy.

So he chose another path.

By the river bank!
Now that the State Meteorological Observatory has already issued a red warning, whether it is the state government, regional government, or county government, they will direct the police and fire brigade to carry out the most basic protection.

Especially in light of the disaster in Assam.

They will definitely build levees near the banks of the river to keep the rising water levels from backfilling, even though that's not going to help.

"Viddy, we have more to catch..."

"Captain, there are multiple silver reflections ahead!"

Just as Marlowe wanted to ask Gu Ji about the specific route, unexpectedly, the scouts under him discovered the situation ahead.

He quickly came to the scout and picked up the binoculars.

What caught the eyes of several people was a river bank, and there were many silver reflections near the river bank, although due to the heavy rain, the visibility was low and it was difficult to see clearly.

But the military and police circles have stayed for a long time, and they all know that this is the reflective rescue vest of the fire brigade.

"Let's go and have a look."

Gu Ji put down the binoculars and was about to leave, but was pushed down by Marlowe.

"Viddy, you follow me."

"Ah good!"

Gu Jiwei squinted his eyes imperceptibly, and noticed that Marlowe's right hand holding the gun was actually tightened.

"Imran, vanguard position."

"Yes!"

A strong Indian man with a scar on the right side of his face bypassed several people and walked in the front.

Gu Ji noticed that during the process of marching, the team was always sticking to the bushes and advancing in a guarded posture, obviously intending to make a tactical intrusion.

And under the deliberate cover-up of Marlowe and others.

The group of firefighters never noticed their existence, and the heavy rain covered up the sound of their footsteps. Only when they hit their backs did someone turn around to see them. They hurriedly slapped the team members beside them and shouted: "Captain!" ! There's a gun! There's a gun!"

"Don't be afraid, I'm Vidi Dali. I was sent by the central government to cooperate with the Army's 57th Mountain Division to implement the dam blasting plan. Your state government should have given you instructions? We need engineering transport vehicles now... In order not to cause unnecessary friction, Gu Ji took a step ahead of time, voluntarily explained his purpose of coming, and took out a mission transfer order authorized by the central government.

Unexpectedly, the other party refused him without waiting for him to finish speaking: "I'm sorry, we have never heard any order that requires cooperation, please leave!"

"Haven't heard of it? Call your immediate leaders right now!"

Gu Ji frowned, and from a series of attitudes in the central place, he remembered what Anurag said in the hotel corridor on the first day of his trip to New Delhi:
The relationship between the governor of West Bengal and the central cabinet government has not been very good, and various regions in the state are also in chaos.

Obviously, whether it is the regional government's failure to answer the phone or the firefighters' reluctance to cooperate, it shows that the Midnapur District is deliberately making things difficult for them.

Marlow gave a look, and the remaining seven team members immediately put the butts of their guns on their shoulders.

The black AK-203 muzzle deterrence is still full.

An older fire chief immediately took out his phone, muttered a few words, and was about to hang up, but Gu Ji stopped him and snatched the phone: "Are you the fire chief?"

"I am, I already know your request, I will send a car there as soon as possible, just wait there."

The fire chief spoke very quickly and hung up the phone after a few words, looking very perfunctory.

Gu Ji dialed back again, but no one answered again.

He turned his head to look at the middle-aged fire chief, seeing that the other side looked a little evasive, Gu Ji gradually narrowed his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes suddenly condensed, as if two cold stars flashed away.

"Can't wait, your car will be requisitioned for now!"

He resolutely walked towards the pickup truck of the fire brigade, but in the next second, three or five firefighters stopped him.

"Why?"

"Isn't it against the rules for you to do this! Didn't the director say that he would send a car over later?"

"Can soldiers do whatever they want?"

……

Faced with the chirping rebuttals of the people in front of him, Gu Ji's original peaceful aura gradually turned into an astonishing tyranny and hostility, and even the originally handsome and kind facial features of "Widi" also became stern.

"Irregularities? I have shown you the government military order, and I will repeat it for the last time. Please cooperate with the dam blasting plan. This is to save the lives of 5000 million people in southern West Bengal. If someone maliciously obstructs the rescue, I will immediately ask the soldiers to take coercive measures against him, get out of the way!!"

Gu Ji said every word with a serious tone.

Marlowe on the side rushed up with his men and guns.

Several firefighters did not expect that Gu Ji's attitude would suddenly become so tough, and with the black muzzle of the gun just near his head, they would not dare to stop him, for fear of being shot dead by a soldier.

In this way, Gu Ji took 8 soldiers of the special border forces and successfully captured two pickup trucks.

He acted tough, but he won the respect of the soldiers.

For the first time, Marlowe asked for his opinion.

"Viddy, what do we do next?"

"Captain Marlowe, time is running out. You and the soldiers will drive back to the transport plane right away, and give priority to transporting the blasting equipment and high explosives to the Falaka Dam. I can continue to lead people along the river bank to search for other means of transportation!"

"Vidi, I'm not here for fear of accidents, how about this, Duvathas, Karuna, you two take one person each, return to Hippo 4 and 5, report the situation to Colonel Swaraj, and the rest , cooperate with Vidi to search along the river!"

Marlowe did not choose to return alone, but handed over the task to his subordinates and divided the 8-member team into two.

Wait for the vehicle to drive away.

Gu Ji and his party continued to march upstream along the river.

When passing by the villages and towns by the river bank, he found that all the lights of the houses had been extinguished, indicating that the prefectural government had already begun to transfer the people on both sides of the river, which was a bit conscientious.

Since no vehicles could be found, everyone could only continue on foot.

About 5 minutes later, a warning came from the soldiers behind him who were in charge of tail pressing, saying that a vehicle was approaching.

After observation, it was discovered that it was the pickup truck that had just gone and returned.

At this time, the rear compartment was already full of explosives and various equipment, and the soldiers of Group B were lying on the side of the compartment or hanging on the side of the compartment door.

"Vidi, I learned from the minister that 80% of the people in the East and West Midnapur counties opposed blowing up the Falaka Dam on the grounds that the flood discharge of the reservoir would destroy their homes and farmland, and next March is the When West Bengal re-elected for the chief minister, in order to win the votes of the east and west counties, the district commissioner of Midnapur promised the people that he would do his best to stop the dam blasting plan of the central cabinet government!"

Hey!
After hearing the news reported by Fatima in the car, Gu Ji was so angry that he scolded his mother inwardly.

Here they are working tirelessly to save the lives of the people, but the people there want to do everything possible to stop it.

Even more disgusting.

The government of the prefecture is not giving proper guidance, but for its own self-interest, it uses the ignorance of the people to fuel the flames, regardless of the life and death of the people!
"What does the capital Calcutta think?"

"Although some officials and people in Kolkata do not want to blow up the Falaka Dam, because it is a city in the lower reaches of the Hooghly River, once the dam breaks, it will become a direct disaster area. This has become the chief minister of Israel, The reason for the support of the bombing plan by powerful officials, mainly the county magistrate of the capital.”

"Support is easy. Contact the chief minister immediately and ask him to immediately send additional anti-riot police and engineering teams to support. The more people the better, immediately!!"

Apart from the train trapped in the flood before, this was the second time Fatima had seen him look so serious. He vaguely understood the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly dug out the contact list.

As the team keeps going uphill.

After driving for about one kilometer, everyone heard the sound of rushing water. Through the headlights of the car, they could see countless large and small eddies spinning on the surface of the river. A little further away, a Huge reinforced concrete building spans the Hooghly River.

That's right, this is the ultimate goal of Gu Ji and others, and it is also the largest one in the dam blasting plan: the Falaka Dam.

At this moment, it is like a long silver dragon lying among the mountain streams.

Just as Swaraj gave the order to speed up.

suddenly.

The scout lying on top of the front of the car suddenly shouted: "Front right, 2 o'clock direction of the front of the car, there is a lot of light! Be careful! There is a lot of light!"

Tata...

In a blink of an eye, patches of bright lights emerged from the darkness. Gu Ji glanced at them, and there were at least dozens of them. Some of them were bright flashlights, and some were orange horseshoe lights.

The entire lonely and desolate hills seemed to be cut open by lightning. Under the halo of light and rain, there were dense black shadows, and the turmoil and turmoil spread rapidly.

It's the crowd! !

At least a crowd of hundreds of people! !
"Group A and Group B! Check the ammunition! Level [-] alert! Repeat! Level [-] alert!!"

Marlowe shouted at the top of his voice, his eyes instantly became fierce.

In an instant, all 16 soldiers of the special frontier forces jumped out of the vehicle, posed for shoulder-to-shoulder shooting, and aimed the aiming system at the black crowd.

"Get rid of these demons!!"

"Down with them! Don't let these outsiders destroy our homeland!"

"Fake! Shoot me if you have the guts! See if I'm afraid of you!"

"God Shiva is watching your evil deeds in the sky, everything you do will be punished!!"

……

Seeing the distance getting closer, Gu Ji also heard curses and scolding from the crowd.

Until there is only about 20 meters between the two sides.

Gu Ji and the others finally saw the whole picture of the group of black shadows clearly.

There are about 800 of them in total, and most of them are local villagers from East and West Midnapur counties. They all wear coarse clothes, some wear headscarves, some have red brows, some are old, some At least, everyone has things in their hands, such as sticks, hoes, and some people simply pick up stones on the ground.

It can be seen from this outfit that they should be Indian farmers.

No wonder, when the dam is destroyed, the farmland will not only be submerged, but most importantly, the stable water source for irrigation will be lost in autumn and winter, so it is normal for them to stand up and maintain the dam spontaneously.

But the real reason that made Gu Ji and the others angry.

Behind these local Indian farmers, there are still a group of government officials wearing umbrellas and suits, and beside the government officials, there are seventy or eighty Indian policemen wearing khaki police uniforms and armed with arms.

Needless to say, these people must be the Midnapur government officials who Fatima said were trying to win votes.

In other words.

This is an organized and premeditated riot led by local officials! !

"Hurry up and get out of here!"

"With me here, you don't even want to blow up the dam!"

"Get out! If you don't get out, we will do it!"

As soon as the words fell, whoosh, a black object suddenly smashed from a distance.

"Be careful! Something is falling! Be careful to avoid it!"

Some soldier shouted, and everyone hid behind the two pickup trucks until the object fell to Gu Ji's feet. It turned out to be a stone.

"Captain Marlowe! Don't shoot! We have to find a way to drag it down, leave it to me!"

Seeing that Marlowe wanted to fire a warning shot, Gu Ji rushed over and pressed the muzzle of the gun.

Fatima held her breath, staring at the scene in front of her in panic with her big beautiful eyes.

until this moment.

Only then did she realize that Gu Ji asked her to call for reinforcements from the Calcutta government with a stern expression.

This is simply a mass riot! !
