Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 83: Faction Struggle


This group is not ordinary.

Apart from those fearless thugs and desperadoes, Gu Ji is most worried about the commander, the bald man: Mr. Qi.

The ability to swiftly regroup forces and seize power to kill after the crisis is absolutely impressive!

For ordinary people, overcoming physiological panic is already difficult enough. Not only must he calm down, but also quickly assess the current situation: the severity of the disaster, the damage to our personnel, the status of the enemy, the probability of a successful coup, and possible retreats if failed, analyzing and confirming each one to draw a conclusion:

Do it, or not.

He chose to act, which meant he had to concentrate and maximize his existing forces and weaponry for his intended purpose, then devise a specific action plan.

This requires a quick reaction ability, strong commanding power, and robust execution ability.

Only those with professional military training can achieve this.

"Wa Xueming, you did well. I, Yang Chen, still have some influence in the Jinyuan Group, and Mr. Liu, who manages network information technology, is my sworn brother. As long as you can lead us out, I will..."

Yang Chen boasted about his position and connections within the group.

This round, Gu Ji entered directly with Ding Le, so both sides recognized each other without conflict and regrouped.

Just as Wang Jinkang was about to bow in gratitude,

he interrupted the harmonious atmosphere by speaking up.

"I could have led everyone out, but now there's a situation..."

"Ah? What situation?"

Wang Jinkang instinctively asked back.

Gu Ji pointed to the ceiling.

"Have you heard the occasional gunfire? It's not just to break doors or locks but orderly point shooting to kill. I suspect the group's directors and desperadoes are very likely planning a coup to seize power..."

"Coup?"

Hearing these words, Yang Chen immediately turned pale with fear.

Indeed, Gu Ji openly spoke about the cleansing behavior of the directors and desperado factions.

Whether it was going to the 10th floor or surviving in this underground building, he couldn't avoid these people. He had to gather information in advance to be prepared.

Pan Xinli suddenly stopped giggling, seemingly interested in this topic.

Ding Le asked anxiously.

"Mr. Yang, is what Mr. Wa said true?"

Yang Chen did not answer, but everyone could tell from his uneasy expression that the earlier speculation wasn't groundless.

Gu Ji continued to apply pressure.

"Mr. Yang, if you know anything, speak up, so everyone can judge in advance and avoid being killed without knowing why!"

This statement is a classic example of tying interests together.

Upon hearing that their lives were at stake, everyone urged and persuaded him.

Unable to withstand the pressure from everyone speaking at once, Yang Chen finally shared some information.

In Northern Myanmar, all group companies need to rely on local warlords to survive. They need to regularly contribute huge amounts for site leasing fees, taxes, and operating licenses, and also spend extra money on connections. The warlords would then send their troops to help those scam companies with military management.

This explains why the "directors" are prevalent throughout the group, wielding substantial power—because most of them are mercenaries sent by the Northern Myanmar Warlords, and the head director is the reconnaissance company leader of the Kokang Border Guard 1006th Battalion: Qi Liran!

Indeed a professional soldier.

Gu Ji squinted slightly.

By converting military unit levels, a company is equivalent to a platoon. As the reconnaissance leader, his tactical analysis skills would certainly not be lacking!

Recalling the previous round when surrounded, the directors around Qi Liran with guns were indeed different from the ones in the basement. Firstly, their skin color, and secondly, the armbands with embroidered Myanmar flags, indicating they were likely soldiers or mercenaries.

"Jinyuan Group's annual total revenue is nearly 20 billion. After deducting costs, 60% of it still goes to the warlords and government, leaving not much after laundering,"

with telecom fraud being Jinyuan Group's main revenue source, Yang Chen, as the head of the telecom fraud department, naturally knows very well.

"To break free from the warlords' control, the Bai Family secretly took two paths: one, spending money to frantically recruit domestic stowaway desperadoes, building internal forces; the other, having trusted children buy officers and hire mercenaries, cultivating their own army. I heard from Mr. Liu that the Bai Family now owns a Border Defense Camp."

"Therefore, the two sides have long been deeply entrenched in grievances. Now that a sinkhole has occurred, everyone in the Jinyuan Group is trapped in the building. Led by Qi Liran, the warlord faction may well seize power to kill, but those desperadoes were paid and cultivated by the Bai Family, and there's no reason for them to join in the rebellion."

Yang Chen was still oversimplifying things, or rather, wasn't telling the whole truth.

Not to mention that Gu Ji saw Dahai leading the desperadoes mixing with Qi Liran in the previous round, but merely theorizing, relying only on money couldn't cultivate so many fearless tough guys. People might love money, but they need to be alive to spend it.

Therefore, he leans more toward the Bai Family using drugs to control this group of desperadoes. This can be inferred from the drug-related "Mr. Shao." Only physiological instincts can override human thinking!

And what is Northern Myanmar?

The Golden Triangle. How could the warlords be without drugs? As long as Qi Liran takes out better quality goods, he can easily make those addicts switch allegiance to him. Given the speed of group gathering in the previous round, the coup plan must have been secretly discussed long ago, and the sinkhole crisis became the most suitable opportunity for action.

So, Gu Ji casually asked.

"Mr. Yang, the warlords won't have the energy to show up personally after the coup. They will definitely support a new puppet to help run things. If they promise the leader of a certain desperado group control over the Jinyuan Group, do you think they might betray, like Mr. Shao or Dahai..."

"This, this can't be, right? Mr. Shao was a high-price recruit by Mr. Bai from the homeland, and Dahai is Mr. Shao's cousin..."

Although Yang Chen verbally countered, his tone was lacking confidence.

Gu Ji quietly observed his expression.

Seeing that this guy really didn't know Mr. Shao's background, he gave up on continuing to press the issue.

Based on the various information collected so far, he speculates that Mr. Shao is likely setting up a drug distribution network domestically, using it to attract desperadoes to smuggle into Northern Myanmar to act as muscle for Jinyuan Group, but now they're turning around to cooperate with the warlords, betraying the Bai Family.

Click, click...

Troublesome!

Although neither the Bai Family nor the warlords are good people, at least the former wouldn't kill indiscriminately. As the desperadoes defect, the power balance has shifted severely, and once the Bai Family is swiftly wiped out, the entire building would fall under warlord control. At that point, it's basically game over with no hope of turning the tide.

If he doesn't want to die again.

Gu Ji's goal is very clear:

First, use the Bai Family to eliminate the warlord faction, and then enact a surprise betrayal against the Bai Family, until he gains control over the building, and finally concentrate manpower to climb out to the surface!
