Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 135 The Beginning of the Storm

Shanying initially thought that those Europeans and Americans were sent by the American Embassy to negotiate...

But after talking to them, I found out that these European and American guys were actually British journalists, and quite famous investigative reporters at that.

Led by a legitimate lawyer, they will go to interrogate the American soldiers, and the secret cameras they carry will record the soldiers' testimonies.

This is a typical case of using one's own weapons to attack another's shield. Criminal immunity allows American soldiers to act recklessly near any overseas base.

They are not afraid of local laws, but they are very afraid of being exposed because public pressure will prompt the military's top brass to deal with them.

This is where Thailand is weak...

They had no way to use strong legal sanctions against the American soldiers who sold their women like pigs, so they could only choose to save the country in a roundabout way and use the media effect to force Bahrain to launch an investigation.

As long as there are controlled Thai women returning from Bahrain to testify, this evil human trafficking channel controlled by the US military can be proven.

Only after the influence is expanded can it be possible to force the US military to launch its own investigation, punish the bad guys, and at the same time force the US military to pay compensation through international lawsuits.

Shanying didn't like this very much, but he had to admit that this was the best result Thailand could achieve.

It was not until the interrogation began that Shanying realized what Davika meant when she told Tessa not to mess around...

A lightly wounded soldier was lying on a hospital bed. Under the guidance of lawyers and reporters, he told everything his team had done.

This includes how they imprisoned, fed, and transported the women, as well as how they abused them for pleasure.

Just the simple distribution of food and water was enough to make those women beg them like dogs.

When they are extremely hungry, a piece of bread can make those women bite each other like mad dogs.

Seeing Tessa trembling all over as she held the gun handle, Shanying played his role and kept the female hero under control in the monitoring room to prevent her from rushing into the ward and killing the soldiers.

The situation is actually very good now...

These soldiers who didn't even graduate from high school are no match for the lawyers and reporters...

First, the lawyer came on stage and used complicated professional terms to tell the confused soldier that in certain circumstances the Thai side could legally resist arresting and trying him, and that he had to explain his story clearly so that it would be easier for the lawyer to defend him.

When professionals implanted the key element of "criminal immunity may be denied" into the soldiers' brains, they successfully stimulated the soldiers' desire to survive.

The next thing will be easier to handle.

These soldiers actually knew what crime they had committed, but they were even more aware that they were only accomplices.

Using the simple "prisoner's dilemma" and the simple argument that "if you don't speak up, others will put the blame on you", these soldiers can be made to expose each other...

They need to try to shift the blame while disassociating themselves as much as possible and put themselves in a subordinate position, hoping to ensure that their criminal immunity remains valid.

Those journalists from Britain were like they had won a 500 million lottery. Reporters from different media worked together and soon the first report about the US military's organized crime overseas appeared in The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Financial Times, The Guardian...

At the same time, the Thai side edited the video of the reporters' questions and posted it on an American video website.

This kind of scandal-related thing broke out almost immediately...

America's media capital and Silicon Valley capital are not on the same page as the military-industrial complex, and the old saints of the left-wing liberals also hate this appalling thing.

Who could resist taking a stab at the military?

Even the current black president can’t refuse…

Because only by hitting the military's sore spot can we force the military to obey on certain issues in political exchanges.

Of course, politics and practical operations are two different things...

This was a first-hand confession. Combined with the intelligence provided by the Thai police, these reporters easily gathered the facts they needed for their report...

This practice is equivalent to a slap in the face of America!

The much-watched Snowden is still at the Moscow airport. The scandal of the United States monitoring the entire world has not yet subsided, and now the British media has stabbed the American government in the back again.

This knife made them feel heartbroken and furious!
The American ambassador rushed to the Thai Prime Minister's Office overnight...

The next day, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck held a press conference, asking those who had already made flags and were preparing to take to the streets to remain restrained. She said she would order the Central Bureau of Investigation to conduct a detailed investigation and give everyone a satisfactory explanation.

As a result, the Central Bureau of Investigation actually sang a different tune from the Prime Minister this time...

When Tessa's mother, Davika, was interviewed by the media, she clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with the British government and firmly stated that the crimes committed by the US military would be held accountable to the end.

Soon after, when the special envoy arranged by the Thai Prime Minister accompanied an American official to the hospital, they were besieged by a large number of "Yellow Shirts".

While these protesters representing the opposition were protesting loudly, a masked man with bandages on his body rushed up to the Prime Minister's envoy and hit him in the head with a brick.

Then the weirdo smashed the glass of a US embassy vehicle, threw a bag of manure into it, and punctured the tire.

The American official, who reeked of shit, didn't dare to get out of the car. He could only watch the masked weirdo blend into the crowd and disappear amid the cheers of the crowd.

A large number of media gathered at the scene and took pictures of the conflict.

Because the American officials were covered in shit, there was no way to negotiate. Gru led a group of police officers to cover their evacuation of the scene, and then Tessa, wearing haggard makeup, came on stage...

This pretty Thai policewoman told the media everything she saw in a sad and angry tone, and distributed photos of the scene at the Wilt warehouse to all media. The imprisoned woman, the woman who died of thirst, the woman who was abused, and the "confession video" of the soldiers who were induced by the reporters...

Under the cover of the Yellow Shirt Army, the Mountain Eagle made a circle and returned to the hospital...

Walking into the hospital lobby, I watched the excited Yellow Shirt Army through the glass, and watched Tessa's mother, Davika, express her indignation on TV...

The fact that the police representatives, who were supposed to remain neutral, have collectively stood on the side of this family means that the Thai coup has entered the countdown.

Soon the politicians will smell something and start placing their bets.

Theoretically speaking, the King of Thailand does not have a particularly strong political presence. Politicians and their supporters who are accustomed to the European and American systems will definitely launch a frantic counterattack in order to protect their vested interests.

But now the opposition represented by the Yellow Shirts has quickly gained the upper hand in the discourse by relying on the evil deeds committed by the US military.

The balance of Thai politics is still tilted and will soon be lost.

The king needs a suitable reason to get the military involved, and the intensification of the struggle is the fuse!
Shanying decisively retreated to a quiet place and called Mr. Poincare...

"Holle..."

Hearing Mr. Poincare's unique British accent, Shanying organized his words and said, "Sir, we may need to advance our plan a little bit..."

“I read on the news that all the money for Blood Fox and Elk has been received, but we don’t have enough time, and most importantly, we don’t have enough people.

Shanying, it's too hasty. I can find a suitable bank to cooperate with, but I can't carry out your plan alone."

After hearing this, Shanying said distressedly: "Can't we hire a few professional people with high salaries?"

Mr. Poincare pondered for a moment and said, "Mountain Eagle, the top traders don't think highly of the millions of dollars we have. This plate is too small.

Even if we offer a high commission, we won’t be able to find the right person in a short period of time.”

Mr. Poincare asked curiously, "Where is the person you and Eddie went to look for? Didn't you find him?"

Shanying heard this and said distressedly: "We found them, but they have offended the Russian gang, and I don't think these two are smart people...

Stealing money from the big Russian mafia is worse than killing their people, they are probably dead.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Poincare said in a deep voice: "Mountain Eagle, find a way to send them to Krabi. They have no way out. If they want to save their lives, they must cooperate with us.

Don't worry about anything else, just send those two guys over here.

We have ways to mediate the problems with the Russian mafia."

Mr. Poincare seemed to have thought of something, and he asked curiously, "Those two guys wanted to steal the money from the Russian mafia. Did they succeed?"

Shanying shook his head and said, "It was too chaotic at the time, I don't know whether they succeeded or not, why are you asking these questions?
That money is hot potato, whoever gets that money will be hunted down by the big Russian mafia."

Mr. Poincare listened and said with a smile: "Mountain Eagle, you are very smart and cautious, but you should think about it from a different perspective...

If the money of the big Russian mafia was stolen, they must be very anxious. Whoever can help them get the money back will be able to..."

Shanying was stunned for a moment. Mr. Poincare's reminder made him realize something...

If the Russian mafia really lost money, then revenge is secondary, and getting the money back is the most important thing.

Now the most profitable place of the big Russian mafia in Pattaya has been raided, and everything inside has been sealed up by the police.

It is still a question whether they can react to what happened in such a short time.

I guess they are now looking for ways to get help, but with a coup d'état imminent in Thailand, how can their local protectors be available to help?
Thinking of this, Shanying decisively hung up the phone, took out Bianca's business card and dialed the number on it...

"This is Bianca..."

Shanying could tell that Bianca was in a bad mood. He smiled and said, "Hey, Bianca, what happened? You seem a little unhappy?"

Bianca recognized the voice of the mountain eagle, and she said unhappily: "You and Eddie went to the commercial street yesterday. Did you see anything?"

Shanying smiled and said, “Are you referring to the Russian gang’s place being swept away?

Eddie and I were inside at the time, and we had a fight with a few American soldiers..."

Bianca was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said anxiously: "Did you fight with American soldiers?

Those guys stole $2000 million from the Big Russian Mafia, and now their boss, Prishchenko, has gone crazy.”

Bianca suddenly realized something and asked anxiously, "Do you know something?"

Shanying smiled and said, "Of course, I am a policeman. I was on duty when I exchanged fire with the American soldiers...

If you watch the news, you know what I’m talking about…”

When Bianca heard this, she shouted in a distorted voice: "What? You are a policeman?"

Shanying said with a smile: "Yeah, didn't Blood Fox and Eddie tell you?"
