50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 467 Helping Hand
But at this critical moment, time was of the essence for saving lives, and Huang Hongxuan didn't have time to explain in detail. He kept urging them to carry the person onto the plane.

The cabin of the Black Hawk helicopter is actually not large, less than 4 meters long and only 1.9 meters wide.

With three stretchers on board, the space became a bit cramped, but there was no time to worry about that at the moment. They had to squeeze them in, as the three seriously injured patients needed at least three people to take care of them.

Sun Zhiwei didn't care how they allocated manpower; he simply sat down in the cabin, put on his helmet, and started the engine.

As the rotor began to spin, the manpower was assigned, and three more people came up besides the wounded.

The team leader insisted on going on the plane, and Huang Hongxuan also had to go. When they arrived in Pontianak, he was also responsible for contacting the hospital.

The third young man was also injured. Sun Zhiwei's spatial scan revealed that he seemed to have injured the tendons and bones in his wrist. It didn't look serious, but it was something that the mine's medical clinic couldn't handle.

So he told Huang Hongxuan about the situation and asked him to bring the young man up.

A few minutes later, the Black Hawk took off and flew swiftly towards Pontianak, 60 kilometers away.

The squad leader who boarded the plane was named Huang Qixian. He was one of Huang Huizhong's confidants and commanded one of the five 40-man squads in the 200-man escort squadron.

On the plane, Huang Hongxuan began asking Huang Qixian about the situation that had led to his near-death experience.

It turns out that Huang Qixian led his team on a training trip and unexpectedly encountered a large crocodile by a small river in a dense forest.

The crocodile was seven or eight meters long and as thick as two or three people, with a white stripe on its back, and it was exceptionally ferocious.

After one of the team members was attacked, the other members opened fire, but the crocodile's armor was practically impervious to bullets. Submachine gun bullets sparked as they hit the armor, but they couldn't penetrate it.

Soon after, the 40-man squad was scattered, resulting in 1 death and 7 injuries. The body of the first soldier attacked was not even recovered.

When talking about the casualties, Huang Qixian looked annoyed and pained.

After all, the soldiers were not even fully trained, and one-sixth of them had already been killed or wounded. It's impossible to say that he bears no responsibility at all.

The fact that the marching route did not avoid dangerous areas and that the disguised crocodiles were not detected beforehand was all his responsibility.

When Sun Zhiwei flew over, the troops he saw marching through the dense forest must have been them.

More than ten minutes later, the helicopter landed in front of the largest hospital in Pontianak, and Sun Zhiwei watched as the wounded were taken into the operating room.

Afterwards, Huang Hongxuan contacted the doctor to arrange the best treatment, Huang Qixian contacted Huang Huizhong to report the situation and admit his mistakes, and only Sun Zhiwei had nothing to do, so he just waited in front of the operating room.

Less than half an hour later, Huang Huizhong arrived with his men. He thanked Sun Zhiwei for his help and became even more enthusiastic towards him.

Sun Zhiwei also knew that this was definitely due to the boost from that M Army helicopter.

Being able to pilot an active-duty M military helicopter, his capabilities must be considerable. Furthermore, the incident where the Singaporean military sent him to the mining area only amplified Sun Zhiwei's mystique and stature in his mind.

Since Huang Huizhong had sent people to the hospital, he naturally didn't need to worry about it. Those wounded were all Huang Huizhong's men, and he wouldn't mistreat his subordinates.

Huang Huizhong invited him to his home, and considering that the conditions in the mining area were indeed not good, he felt there was no need to force himself to endure hardship if he could stay in a better place.

Therefore, he gladly accepted the invitation.

He also asked Huang Huizhong, "Mr. Huang, it's too conspicuous to have a helicopter parked in front of the hospital. Do you have a place at home to park the helicopter?"

Huang Huizhong quickly replied, "My house is big enough to park." "Then let's just take the Black Hawk together." So, Huang Huizhong left the driver to drive back, while he, his assistant, and his men got into the Black Hawk.

Under their guidance, Sun Zhiwei quickly landed the Black Hawk in the backyard of Huang Huizhong's manor.

After that, Sun Zhiwei stayed at Huang Huizhong's manor.

A Black Hawk helicopter landed at Huang Huizhong's estate, and countless people saw it. The municipal government and the local garrison came to inquire about the situation.

Huang Huizhong, however, was evasive, only saying that a friend had come to visit, but he did not forbid his servants from spreading rumors in private.

Sun Zhiwei knew exactly what he was thinking; he was just using someone else's name to intimidate him.

He was also exaggerating, but he had earned it with real money, so the Barabak base couldn't expose him. Therefore, his facade was still quite strong.

Huang Huizhong borrowing his tiger skin would also benefit him, as having such a tiger skin would make his mine safer, so he didn't mind.

During the conversation, he talked to Huang Huizhong about expanding the mining area. Huang Huizhong said that Huang Hongxuan had already told him about this.

Sun Zhiwei asked him directly why he didn't take over those mines, and Huang Huizhong replied with a wry smile, "Mr. James, if I could take them over, how could I possibly let them go?"

Sun Zhiwei understood after hearing what he said: someone from the Borneo authorities had interfered because the industrial park had gathered a large amount of human resources.

It's like owning a large, labor-intensive enterprise; it's like having a protective umbrella over yourself. For the sake of local stability, the authorities will naturally be hesitant to harm you.

To prevent this situation from occurring, Borneo simply restricted Chinese businesses' investments in industry, meaning that even if Huang Huizhong had money, he couldn't buy mines.

However, without real business, the more money you have, the more dangerous it becomes. It's like an iceberg at sea, without a foundation, and it can capsize at any time when the wind and waves are strong.

“Mr. Huang, this situation is already obvious. They are just waiting to reap the rewards in the future. I think you can see that clearly.”

“I understand, how could I not understand? But we are at their mercy, which is why I agreed with your suggestion to start training troops in the mining area.”

Sun Zhiwei actually felt sorry for them, considering that they were of Chinese descent after all, and could help them appropriately.

So he took the initiative to ask, "Are they a unified entity, or are they acting independently? Who are the key figures holding them back?"

After thinking for a moment, Huang Huizhong explained the situation they were currently facing in its entirety.

Java is currently under the rule of Hathor, which has lasted for sixteen years, from 65 to the present.

His children control key sectors in Java, including energy, finance, transportation, and news, accounting for more than half of the total revenue, demonstrating that their rule is deeply entrenched.

Harto was a staunch hardliner against China, and more than a decade ago he issued a decree changing the term "Chinese" to "Zhi Na," a term full of discrimination and insult.

It can be said that the current situation is a top-down suppression by Java, not a matter of the attitude of any one person or faction.

Sun Zhiwei frowned upon hearing this situation. This was a tricky situation. Even if he could kill some of the people, he couldn't possibly kill them all.

This isn't his home; he only sympathizes with them, not that he's willing to risk his life for them.
