The military personnel stationed in the city were also extremely surprised to see Yan Bin arrive.
They really didn't expect that such a small matter would trouble him to come here.
After all, once the task was assigned to them and the city, they had already arranged and deployed their forces.
Naturally, it is known that there are actually not many people waiting to trade in the market.
"Commander Yan, please come in." However, Regiment Commander Xie, who was in charge of this mission, quickly came to his senses.
He quickly ushered Yan Bin into the office and had someone brew a pot of good tea.
Previously, Commander Xie received orders to deploy defenses in Yuwei Village, Kangning County, He City.
They immediately studied the information provided and mobilized troops to Kangning County.
Then they quietly and discreetly surrounded Fishtail Village.
When he learned that a commander-in-chief would be coming from above, he didn't think much of it.
He believed that the people sent by the Jilin Provincial Military District were at most of the same rank as him.
After all, according to the intelligence they had gathered, the target of this operation was...
Although they were a large criminal organization that trafficked in cultural relics, there were actually very few people in the city who actually traded with them.
He really hadn't expected that Commander Yan would take time out of his busy schedule to come here.
If Yan Bin knew his thoughts, he would probably refute him very quickly.
When he wasn't on duty, he was quite idle, being a commander who only knew how to fight.
Anyway, Political Commissar Ji will handle the matters concerning the military sub-district.
So he really couldn't be said to have squeezed in time from his busy schedule.
"Alright, enough with the formalities, tell me what you know."
Yan Bin wasn't one of those people who liked bureaucracy; he sat down and immediately asked about the situation.
After all, Chu Mingxu was still on the vehicle transporting the antiques.
He can never be too careful.
"Yes." Commander Xie knew his superior's personality; he was never one to spout empty rhetoric.
He immediately focused his attention on the operation and briefed Yan Bin on the situation.
"Commander Yan, we have completed the deployment of forces in Yuwei Village, and military personnel have also been deployed around Kangning County."
"Commander, look, this is a map of the entire city. This is Yuwei Village in Kangning County."
As he spoke, Commander Xie placed a detailed map of the city in front of Yan Bin.
The location of Yuwei Village in Kangning County was marked to make it easier for him to find.
Yan Bin carefully observed the location of Yuwei Village on the map and realized that it was a village by the sea.
I didn't see anything special about it, so why would this organization choose this place to transport the artifacts overseas?
"Is this Yuwei Village outside your border defense deployment area?"
Wherever there is a border defense line, there should be troops stationed nearby.
As a coastal border city, He City's entire coastline should be under the surveillance of the military.
Why didn't they discover that someone was smuggling things out?
When asked this question, Commander Xie was quite embarrassed.
Because he didn't know what was going on either.
He discovered this blind spot after receiving the order last night.
However, as mentioned above, the task is urgent, and the people trading the cultural relics will take action either during the day or at night.
So at first, he was only focused on arranging his troops.
Only after the deployment was completed did he carefully consider this issue.
They even specially selected soldiers who had been stationed near Kangning County to inquire about them.
As a result, they indeed found nothing amiss.
The coastline of Yuwei Village is also on their patrol route, and they never slacken their efforts.
However, when he heard that the villagers of Yuwei Village still retained the custom of going out to sea to fish, he had a bad feeling.
But now, he doesn't know whether he should say it or not.
Yan Bin noticed his hesitation and waved his hand, telling him to speak.
"Speak up. We'll investigate this after the operation is over. Tell me your guesses first."
After the order was given last night, Commander Xie and his men probably only then realized that Yuwei Village was a place for trading cultural relics.
Therefore, without alerting the enemy, their deployment was carried out quietly.
He probably didn't have time to investigate the reason behind it.
All we can say now is his speculation.
Commander Xie also knew that whether he stuck his neck out or not, he would still get stabbed.
After taking a deep breath, he spoke to Yan Bin.
"Commander Yan, then I'll share my guess, but I can't guarantee it's accurate."
Only after Yan Bin nodded did he reveal his guess.
"Because the grain yield in Yuwei Village is not high, and there are no cash crops."
"Therefore, the people living in Yuwei Village still retain the habit of fishing."
"Of course, fish are not considered valuable items in He City, and most of the purchasing stations only accept live fish, so the price is extremely low."
"So, they go out to sea to fish mostly to fill their stomachs."
"Our soldiers didn't find anything suspicious, probably because the villagers of Fish Tail Village helped them transport the artifacts out to sea?"
This was the conjecture that Commander Xie made after questioning dozens of soldiers to no avail.
After listening to his analysis, Yan Bin finally understood why he hadn't dared to voice his conjectures before.
After all, this should involve the people of an entire village.
If it is indeed proven that they helped the organization smuggle cultural relics out of the country.
According to the current laws, no one can escape a single peanut.
Yan Bin also discovered from the information provided by Commander Xie that the population of Yuwei Village was as high as 500.
If they are found to be suspected of treason, none of them will escape.
Yan Bin closed his eyes wearily, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and then said seriously.
"Regardless of whether the facts are as we suspect, let's ensure the successful completion of this mission first."
"Furthermore, before it is certain whether the villagers of Yuwei Village are harmful, they are Chinese citizens."
"Try to avoid them getting hurt in this operation."
Although Yan Bin also agreed with Commander Xie's guess.
Until it is confirmed, they must protect the people of China.
"Yes," Commander Xie replied after standing at attention and saluting.
*****************
Yan Bin was still feeling uneasy about his worries.
Meanwhile, the people transporting the antiques are already gathering people to move them to Fish Tail Village.
Because Yuwei Village is located on the border where the army is stationed.
Whether in the past or present, they dare not openly drive their goods directly to Yuwei Village.
Previously, they would set a transaction date and transport the antiques to He City half a month in advance.
Then they were transported to Fish Tail Village little by little by manpower.
However, time is of the essence this time, and the agreed transaction time is tonight.
The people who were receiving the goods had already made all the arrangements in Yuwei Village and were just waiting for their antiques to arrive.
"Brother, time is of the essence this time. It's not easy for us to deliver these goods to Yuwei Village with just these few people."
