Chapter 73: Breaking through the barrier and moving forward
Lei Dou covered his face in pain and squatted on the roof. He muttered: "She was very good to me, but her behavior was shameful! My father died early, when I was only two years old. In order not to be criticized, she
, and hooked up with the cadres in the brigade."
Chang Lin understood that Lei Dou's family was either a landlord or a capitalist, and was the target of social criticism. He gently patted the young man on the shoulder and asked: "Is that why you wanted to run to Cambodia? I understand your motivation for doing this.
, perform well, I hope you will become a real warrior."
"I will definitely do it!" Lei Dou stood up and shouted eagerly: "Boss, did I pass the review?"
"Passed." Chang Lin looked at the young man's honest face and nodded to agree with him joining the Blood Wolf Special Forces: "You must first practice fighting and fighting. After you have the foundation, you can then learn other things."
"Yes!" Lei Dou smiled happily, he could finally stay with this group of powerful people.
"We can't wait like this, we must take action!" Chang Lin had already thought deeply on the rooftop and said to Zhong Mei: "Give Ajuan a call and ask her to get a bus."
"Yes, I saw a bus with fifty seats in Hanoi. We can set off without weapons!" Zhong Li's eyes lit up and she shouted happily: "It's not difficult to get weapons in Phnom Penh."
"Tell all team members that they must bring a pistol with a silencer, a crossbow, a throwing knife, and a dagger. Prepare an off-road jeep for me and set off tonight!" Chang Lin had already made up his mind and carried out the order.
Detailed additions.
"yes!"
Setting off in the dark night, Yang Xiaoyong and Gao Yishan were both shocked by this decision. The Vietnamese army would definitely not relax their inspections along the way if they did not find the rockets. Ajuan seemed to understand something and smiled and asked everyone to pedal.
The jeep drove in front, and the bus followed behind with Gao Yishan driving. Not long after the two vehicles set off, they encountered a checkpoint of the Vietnamese army. Chang Lin stuck his head out of the jeep and shouted: "We are going to Cambodia to order tobacco leaves, please keep an eye on it."
Our certificate."
"I'm sorry, you are the husband of the governor of Lao Cai Province, but we need to inspect, please cooperate." The Vietnamese squad leader at the checkpoint said neither humble nor overbearing, waving for the Vietnamese soldiers to get on the bus for inspection.
"That's so damn stupid. The whole country is currently under martial law. Who would break through the border with the things they got?" Chang Lin cursed dissatisfiedly and put the documents back into his trouser pocket. The squad leader of the Vietnamese army knew that such a car could not carry a truck.
rocket weapon, glanced at the car and then left.
"Let go!"
Traveling in the dark, neither our own people nor the Vietnamese army thought about it. Chang Lin had a special identity and had special documents. Everyone at each checkpoint was let through in a daze, looking at the cars going south without knowing why.
The car was driving on the plains, moving forward at fifty kilometers per hour. When it dawned, it had already traveled five hundred kilometers. After everyone woke up sitting on the bus, they opened the windows and looked outside.
"We can reach Longchuan City before dark." Ajuan sat on the jeep and looked at her watch in the morning light.
"Slow down, don't be in a hurry." Chang Lin had the dead Mei Ruolan as a shield and was not afraid of the Vietnamese troops checking along the way. These people bullied the weak and feared the strong, and they still had scruples about Mei Ruolan, who had been the commander of the Second Army.
"You've already expected that they won't search you!" Ajuan smiled charmingly. Chang Lin understood the psychology of the Vietnamese army. What these people wanted to search were rockets and rocket launchers, and they only paid attention to the boxes.
"I have been observing on the roof for a long time, and their actions told me." Chang Lin smiled lightly, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it.
Chang Lin is a businessman. It is normal for a rich man to carry a pistol during the war. Most of the people in the car are women, and the checkpoints at the checkpoints all thought he was a romantic figure. Especially the girls' fancy dress, which was even more...
It shows the master's style and wealth.
There was an exquisite box in front of him, and inside it was a sniper rifle that he never left. Because the box was too small, it would not attract the attention of the Vietnamese army. At dawn, there were gradually more passenger cars on the road. Often
Lin looked at the plain water town and sighed secretly for the women working in the fields.
"Actually, our country is also very poor." Ajuan knew what Chang Lin was thinking.
"Yes, but it is changing now. Have you ever thought about it? How many widows and women were left behind by the Hundred Years' War. How can the trauma in their hearts be changed with material things." Chang Lin said quietly and threw the cigarette butt out of the car.
"Are you thinking about our women?" Ajuan suddenly realized that Chang Lin was worried about more than two thousand women waiting to be married.
"We have to consider it," Chang Lin said seriously.
A Chinese restaurant appeared on the roadside. Chang Lin raised his head and looked at it in surprise. He said to Xiaoxue who was driving: "Stop, let's go to the restaurant to have a meal."
After a bumpy night, everyone was very tired. Finally, he came across a restaurant, and he wanted everyone to come down and have a rest. The two cars quickly walked to the entrance of the restaurant and parked side by side in the parking lot.
Chang Lin walked into the restaurant and found that it was run by two old people. But he still sat down and shouted to the old lady who came over: "Mom, what do you have to eat?"
"Seafood, roasted chicken, braised pork, stir-fried, and cold salad are all available. Sir, what would you like to eat?" the old woman reported cautiously, fearing that she would lose this business.
"Just serve the best dishes, Ajuan, pay them five million!" Chang Lin didn't mean to be lavish. First of all, the Vietnamese dong itself is worthless, and five million dong is only equivalent to two thousand yuan. 2
It turned out that he heard the old man's accent and knew that they were from the Central Plains area.
"My guest, are you from Henan?" The old woman looked at Chang Lin in surprise. In the current Yue country, wealthy Chinese people have long been expelled from this country.
"Hahahaha, that's right." Chang Lin said vaguely. He couldn't reveal his identity, and said to the two old people: "How is the business? You are not being made any trouble, are you?"
"Oh, it's hard to explain!" The old man spoke now and sighed: "We have been hiding in the countryside for three years. Now that the war is over, we have just come out and opened a business. We can't find any cooks in the country, so we can only do it ourselves.
Cook."
"Ajuan, a few people came to the kitchen to help." Chang Lin knew that these girls were very proficient in cooking, so he smiled and said to the old man: "The old man ordered them to do it, do you have any objection?"
"No objection, no objection." The old man agreed hurriedly and said to the old lady: "Go and take out the good wine I saved. I want to have a few drinks with my little brother."
This place is not far from the Mekong Delta plain. The farmland is surrounded by tropical mangroves. The environment of the hotel is very beautiful. After observing it, Chang Lin said to the old man: "Old man, how about I invest in building a restaurant for you?"
"Are you investing?" The old man looked at the young man in surprise. He was so generous when they met for the first time. Could there be a conspiracy?
"You don't have to be afraid. I'll invest in you to run it. If you lose money, it's mine. If you make any money, we'll get a 50% dividend." Chang Lin smiled, pointed outside and said, "This place is so beautiful. As long as you are good at management, you will definitely be able to do it."
Get rich!"
"Do you want to invest in building a restaurant?" the old man asked tentatively.
"Yes, build a French-style restaurant with four floors and private rooms. I can pay you 100,000 yuan in Vietnamese dong, which is about enough according to the current price, right?" Chang Lin didn't wait for the old man to reply, and motioned to Zhong Mei.
Place a lockbox on the table and open it.
Each piece of money in the box is worth 100,000 VND. According to this calculation, the money in the box is probably three to four billion. The old man shouted in surprise: "It's too much money, I dare not accept it."
Chang Lin shook his head. He knew that the old man had no ability to protect him. But he still took out a pile of food from the box and put it on the table: "Stay here. You should recruit a few chefs and service girls. We don't have to cooperate."
"No reward for no merit, brother, I really can't take it." The old man refused again and again, and said worriedly: "The local government might drive us away again, and the money will bring disaster to us."
"Oh, your worries are unnecessary." Chang Lin then realized that the old man was afraid that overseas Chinese in Vietnam would still be persecuted: "The government is working hard to restore the economy, and they will not make things difficult for you anymore."
The meal was very comfortable. When Chang Lin said goodbye, he said to the two old men who sent him off: "Go back. We will come here to have a meal when we come back."
There is a national highway leading to Phnom Penh to the west of Ho Chi Minh City. Chang Lin did not take this route, mainly because the Vietnamese army stationed heavy troops along the way. He wanted to detour to Long Chuan and then advance northwest from there.
Long Chuan is located 1,950 kilometers south of the capital Hanoi, 189 kilometers southwest of Ho Chi Minh City, and 45 kilometers away from the border with Cambodia. When the two cars drove to the border, it was already about 10 o'clock in the evening.
"Find a hotel to stay and let's set off tomorrow." Entering Cambodia means that the war is about to begin. Chang Lin plans to store the car here and acquire a batch of weapons before entering Cambodia.
"I know this place well!" Lei Dou looked at the place where the car stopped, pointed ahead and said, "Ten miles ahead, the farmers here are our overseas Chinese."
"Oh?" Chang Lin looked at Lei Dou in surprise: "Do you know the owner here?"
"He often goes to Phnom Penh to do business, and I've been here too. Come on, I'll take you to see a group of my young disciples." Lei Dou jumped out of the car happily and ran forward desperately.
"This guy!" Chang Lin kept shaking his head. Lei Dou was a young man and he went rashly without knowing how to communicate.
"It's strange that there are no Vietnamese troops on the border." Ajuan pondered, this phenomenon was too abnormal.
This is the Mekong River plain. The Vietnamese army has already occupied Phnom Penh, so naturally they will not defend here. Just when Chang Lin was about to speak, Lei Dou had already led a strong man in his thirties over. He had already listened to Lei Dou's introduction, but he still
Surprised by this group of uninvited guests.
"Sorry to bother you!" Chang Lin went up to shake hands affectionately and said with a smile: "We need to rest here for a night and store the car here tomorrow."
"Are you really a businessman?" The strong man looked at Chang Lin in disbelief. Who would bring so many women with him as a businessman?
"I am a businessman, and they are my bodyguards." Chang Lin knew that the other party was suspicious and explained: "Phnom Penh is still in war, so I have to bring more helpers."
"It will be more dangerous if you go like this!" The strong man reminded Chang Lin: "Cambodians rob and kill Vietnamese businessmen when they see them. There are guerrillas and militia troops fighting everywhere."
"Really?" Chang Lin pointed to Amei beside him: "I have a local guide, she will help me communicate."
"My name is Zhang Sixiao, a Chinese who has lived here for three generations. Brother, when you go to Cambodia to do business, you have to do it with your head. Why do you need to take risks?" Zhang Sixiao kept persuading Chang Lin. He did not want young people to die.
"Is it really dangerous?" Chang Lin was surprised. Lei Dou was familiar with this place, and Amei should also know it. Why didn't they react at all to this?
