Boss Nie treated Song Yuanchao so well that even his comrades were a little jealous.
He took out his handkerchief and wiped the dirty water off Song Yuanchao's face, saying, "You've worked hard, Song. Go to the hospital quickly, get some saline solution, and rest well. After that, we'll go back to Hong Kong together."
But he was ultimately a man who valued profit above all else. After watching Song Yuanchao being carried away, he turned to Wade and said in Khmer, "There's a gold mine, and it sounds pretty big. Go and take a look yourself. If it's worth it, send your own people over."
Although international police have been transporting various rare ores to sand plants in exchange for weapons and equipment, they are mostly brass, silver, platinum, and rare metals such as molybdenum and zirconium.
Gold has always been the rarest commodity.
If the mine is truly large enough, and the international police can control Lvsun, sending their own people to mine it would be the safest course of action.
Wade was actually unwilling to come to the Philippines because he has always been more focused on the high-tech field.
Like Liang Lisheng, he didn't initially believe in the capabilities of these international police officers, fearing they wouldn't stay in the Philippines long and were just looking to make a quick buck before leaving, making it impossible for them to continue their business in the long run.
But today he witnessed it firsthand: a park with several hundred people was taken over by a group of international police officers in just one night.
Moreover, they had a certain style that Wade particularly admired: after more than ten hours, and given that it was a volcano that was extremely prone to collapse, most people wouldn't bother digging into Song Yuanchao and his group, considering the cost.
But those international police officers worked tirelessly for nearly four hours and actually managed to dig the person out.
A team that never abandons its comrades and prioritizes life has strong cohesion and is naturally capable of winning battles.
And if there's a gold mine, who wouldn't be interested?
Wade acted decisively, replacing the boss and crawling into the hole like a dog.
About half an hour later, he came out. Boss Nie was still waiting, of course. He said, "It's worth sending someone."
If he said it was worth sending people, it meant it really was a big gold mine.
Volcanoes are generally considered to be places where gold deposits are easily found, but in most cases, the gold deposits beneath volcanoes are already mined by the government or individuals, or at the very least, they are fenced off and cannot be touched by outsiders.
However, the Philippines' geographical conditions and its colonial nature have led to its current state: it is extremely rich in resources, but its people can only resort to piracy, while the Americans, although they dominate the industries, always have areas they cannot reach.
That's when Nie Zhao will have to pick up the scraps.
Of course, Wade's mindset also had to change after discovering a large gold mine.
After getting on the truck and heading back to camp, he thought about the current situation in the Philippines and said to Nie Zhao, "Boss, the Philippine government is extremely disorganized and has no fighting power. The biggest problem is still the pirates."
Seeing Nie Zhao nodding, he added, "And if possible, it would be more advantageous for us if the ICPO garrison could be stationed for more than three years, but that would require them to produce truly convincing results."
Although the Philippines is nominally an independent country, the United States has only accepted an invitation to station troops there.
But in reality, it is still a U.S. colony.
Its existence has not only led to the prevalence of drugs, human trafficking, and fraud on the mainland, but also allowed the US military to strike areas including the coastal areas of the South China Sea. That is why, in Yue Zhongqi's previous life, the international police plane was bombed in mid-air and did not even land in the Philippines, and Nie Zhao was almost killed in the park.
Individuals like Yu Niezhao are like bullets and nails.
For the nation, it serves as both a deterrent and a threat.
It is an intercontinental ballistic missile that, once launched, can destroy a city.
The US military presence in the Philippines is intended to keep a certain Eastern power within firing range, ready to provoke conflict at any time.
The Philippines is of great strategic importance, and it is of great significance to have the ICPO come to fight the bandits.
If they could be allowed to stay for an extended period, the significance would be unprecedented.
In Chen Rou's previous life, this vision could only be realized in her generation.
But now, whether it's working hard to ensure Boss Nie can continue mining gold, or working hard to extend the stationing period of the international police, why not take a gamble and realize the wish of long-term stationing as soon as possible?
Nie Zhao was also thinking about this problem. He turned to look at his wife and saw her smile and say, "Let's capture Gui Tou Chang alive."
Mr. Nie had guessed that his wife would say that, so he smiled and said, "Okay."
That's what Chen Rou thought.
If they can capture Gui Touchang, Nie Zhao, Chen Rou, and Nie Han alive, they will be the perfect accusers.
The fact that Mei Lu and her brother conspired with Gui Touchang to kidnap them can also be brought to light.
That incident alone was enough to send Gui Touchang to the International Court of Justice. And once he was tried and convicted, Chen Ke and his men could continue to be stationed there under the pretext of eliminating Gui Touchang's remnants until the Americans found a way to drive them out.
This military competition between major powers is also a contest of strength between soldiers during peacetime.
Capturing Kui Tou Chang alive is like driving a nail straight into the eyes of the Americans, making them think twice before swaggering into the South China Sea, lest someone shoot them from behind.
Instead of acting arrogantly and haughtily as they do now.
Chen Rou is a soldier; once she has thought things through, she doesn't hesitate or look back.
I only had one thought: Go for it!
Since Boss Nie couldn't help anyway, all he could do was spend some money on his wife, since money was all he had to offer in his poverty.
But Wade thought much more deeply, and he was particularly far ahead. He said, "First of all, Kito Chang's military strength should not be underestimated. If we really want to confront him directly, ICPO will need more sophisticated equipment, such as combat helicopters."
