A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 241 Standing Still

Immediately, Qinglong spoke up: "I have long admired the name of Inspector Han. It is an honor to meet you today! Here is a total of four million US dollars, which is a small gift for Inspector Han. It is just a token of my sincerity!"

Han Da nodded and said, "Then thank you very much! You must be the leader of the Azure Dragon Gang on the HX Continent?"

Qinglong replied, "That is indeed me."

Han Da nodded again and said, "Tell me the purpose of your visit!"

Qinglong said, "I would like to ask Mr. Han to provide me with a JD team of about a thousand people. Money is not a problem. Just ask, Mr. Han."

Han Da frowned slightly and asked, "Does the Azure Dragon Gang leader want to start a war with your country?"

Qinglong replied, "There's no other way. It's for saving my life and for revenge."

Han Da nodded and said, "If you want JD, I can provide it to you. However, if my troops and HX go to war, it won't be as simple as revenge. It involves a war between two countries. Have you thought about the consequences of war?"

"This..." Qinglong was speechless. Just as Han Da said, once the armies of the two countries start fighting, it will involve a war between the two countries. If that is the case, no one can bear the consequences of the war.

Han Da glanced at Qinglong and said, "How about this, if you need people, I can provide them, but not from my unit. As for military equipment, I'll provide them with all the necessary supplies."

Qinglong asked, "And who are they?"

Han Dadao: "Our veterans here."

Qinglong was overjoyed and nodded, "Alright, then name your price!"

Han Da pondered for a moment and said, "One price, this much." As he spoke, Han Da held up five fingers.

Qinglong understood, and since the five fingers represented five hundred million US dollars, he said, "Okay, if you help me equip them with the most advanced weapons you have here, I'll give you another hundred million."

Han nodded and said, "No problem." He stood up and extended his hand, saying, "It's a pleasure to do business with you!"

Qinglong quickly reached out and shook hands with Han Da, saying, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"

Then, Han whispered a few words to the guard and said, "Chief Qinglong, I have important business to attend to, please excuse me! Oh, by the way, the men you requested will be at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain in ten minutes."

Qinglong was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much! The money..."

Han Dadao: "As for the money, I will send someone over to collect it."

"Alright, take care, Inspector Han!"

After Han Dayi left, William, Qinglong, and the others also departed.

At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, within the territory of the YN Empire, a perfectly aligned unit of one thousand retired soldiers appeared. They were well-equipped and ranged in age from fifty to sixty. Each of them came from the regular army. Because the country could not afford to pay their military salaries, a large number of such people retired every year, and the unit composed of them could naturally be called an elite force.

Today, this elite force obeys only one person: Qinglong, the leader of the Qinglong Gang. Commanding this elite force is a retired general who served as the deputy commander of a military region in the YN Empire three years ago.

He is Nguyen Chao Eun Thanh, the retired highest-ranking officer of the YN Empire, and is known as Boss Nguyen.

Now, this elite force, as a large mercenary group, naturally obeys the orders of their employers. Therefore, upon seeing Qinglong, Boss Ruan respectfully greeted him, "My lord!"

Qinglong nodded, then glanced at the large, rented army, nodding with satisfaction, and asked, "William, where are they?"

William replied, "We've reached the border, but without the permission of the YN Empire, they wouldn't dare to cross it easily."

Qinglong grunted in agreement and said, "They're bound to come eventually. Have you all made the arrangements?"

"Don't worry, Chief Qinglong, everything is under my control. As long as they cross the line, we will make sure that as many as they come die."

Qinglong smiled and nodded, "Very good!"

……

At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, in front of the boundary marker, nearly two thousand HX soldiers gathered. Among them were special police officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, but the highest-ranking officer present was Inspector Fang, the best commander of a certain police unit in District F. Having received accurate intelligence that the robbery of the armored truck and the murder of Ah Zhong's family were the work of HX's four major gangs—clearly a revenge attack—Inspector Fang, upon receiving orders from his superiors, immediately led a thousand men to surround and suppress these ruthless criminals.

“Fang Sir, these thugs have already fled into the territory of the YN Empire. Should we…” Zhang Sis asked, his brows furrowed.

Inspector Fang frowned deeply, knowing that taking another step forward would go beyond simply apprehending a fugitive; it would involve infringing upon the territory of the YN Empire, inevitably igniting conflict between the two nations. While HX, a powerful nation, boasts a world-leading economy and military, and is not afraid of a small YN Empire, the consequences of war between the two countries were something no one wanted to witness. However, time was of the essence; every moment of delay would make capturing the fugitive far more difficult. After a moment's thought, Inspector Fang, his expression serious, said, "Don't rush. Let's see what our superiors say."

Captain Hao said, "Officer Fang, we can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, those despicable fugitives will have a better chance of survival, and once..."

Fang Sir interrupted Hao, saying, "You're anxious, and so am I. But as you can see, this is the border of Zhongnan Mountain. If we take another step forward, we'll be in the territory of the YN Empire."

Inspector Cheung said, "So what? We're chasing a fugitive."

Fang Sir gave a wry smile, but his heart was like an ant on a hot pan. He said, "We think this way, but they may not think the same way. If we take another step forward, it will be an invasion of their territory, which will inevitably cause friction between the two countries. Right now, all we can do is wait for the results of the negotiations between our superiors and the military of the YN Empire. If they allow us to enter, that would be great."

Team Leader Hao asked, "What if they don't want to? Wouldn't we be completely helpless against them?"

Fang Sir sneered and said, "If they are unwilling, I believe the higher-ups will not let these thugs off easily."

Captain Hao sighed and said, "Our four major gangs in HX have been committing crimes for many years. I have repeatedly requested permission from my superiors to make arrests and wipe out all four gangs in one fell swoop, but each time I have received no response from my superiors. Alas..."

Inspector Zhang gave a wry smile and said, "I've had two direct encounters with the leader of the Azure Dragon Gang, and both times I could only watch them leave without enough evidence. Whether it's Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, or Black Tortoise, each of these four gang leaders has a group of doubles willing to take the blame for them. Every time the police get a lead, one of their doubles always comes out to confess. The police really can't do anything about them."
