Chapter 81 Piecing Together Intelligence!
TNT was supposedly originally used as dye before being used as an explosive.
Even though Zhang Guohao didn't know much about it, he knew that this thing would have a devastating effect when it exploded. If they really brought in two thousand kilograms of TNT, and used it properly, all the ships on the island would be sunk!
They brought in so much TNT, surely it wasn't for training?
"We can't stay here any longer; we need to finish this quickly."
Zhang Guohao thought to himself, if things get chaotic, with thousands of pirates fighting, their ship and a dozen or so people wouldn't be able to do anything.
However, Zhang Guohao couldn't just leave like that. He was also concerned about another matter: whether Zhang Xiaotian would be affected and whether it would affect Zhang Xiaotian's control over the sea.
The territory hasn't been divided yet, and the specific protection fee hasn't been set, but the gifts sent out before were real money.
Boss Huo not only gave Zhang Xiaotian a personal gift, but also a lot of food, medicine and other supplies.
If Zhang Xiaotian dies and gets blown up by TNT, then all the money we gave him before was for nothing!
They'll have to pay their respects again then, since Zhang Guohao and Boss Huo can't exactly go and play the role of pirates protecting the trade routes, right?
"Tell me, where did you put all your TNT? What are you going to blow up?"
Zhang Guohao stretched out his right foot and stomped heavily on Chen Yingbei's left hand.
"Scared? Hmph, too late. We're going to blow all these damned pirates to smithereens! From now on, they'll all have to listen to me at sea!"
Chen Yingbei's face even flushed slightly.
Zhang Guohao hesitated for a moment, then raised his right foot and stomped on the other man's arm, breaking it. Then, looking at Chen Yingbei, who had three of his limbs broken, he went over and stomped on the other man's other arm before taking two steps back, afraid of giving this pervert even the slightest benefit!
This bastard was really holding back, he can get excited about anything!
"You won't tell, huh? Then I'll make you party all the way!"
Zhang Guohao realized that Chen Yingbei had lost his mind and that he couldn't get any useful information through normal means.
Let's try a different approach and give him a little something in return.
Zhang Guohao took out some flour he had picked up on the road and stuffed it directly into Chen Yingbei's mouth. It should work, right?
"What are you feeding me? Pah! Pah! Pah!"
"I'm telling you, you better kill me, or I'll dig up your family's ancestral graves!"
"Hehehe, even if you kill me, you can't escape. We've blocked all the entrances and exits!"
"We've also laid an ambush on the stands. We'll wipe you all out, and then the seas will be ours!"
"From now on, the seas will be ours!"
"Go ahead and kill me! Kill me!"
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
Chen Yingbei's consciousness began to become confused, and his words became increasingly fragmented, with only a few useful things remaining amidst the barrage of insults.
This encounter between the white-faced man and the lunatic seems to have completely wrecked Chen Yingbei's CPU.
Zhang Guohao could only piece together the whole picture from the limited information available.
The crew of Boom Beach has always been divided into numerous factions, constantly embroiled in internal strife.
Even now, the Military Intelligence Bureau has been renamed the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics has changed its name twice, from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics to the Party Affairs Bureau and then to the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of the Interior.
There were also various subordinate departments of the military and political authorities, which meant that even at this point, when the islanders were all adrift at sea, internal strife was still raging.
Even two different organizations belonging to the same department may not necessarily be of one mind.
This can be seen from the storyline between the New Detective Agency and the Number Gang; both of their leaders are veterans of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Now, the Number Gang is relatively obedient to the Bureau of Secrecy's orders and is quite helpful, while the New Detectives just try to fool them if they can.
This was also true for the defeated groups within various pirate crews.
Among these pirates were soldiers from elite units and ragtag troops, and the superiors they could contact varied.
The core troops naturally contacted high-ranking officials within the organization, while those miscellaneous troops might have been incorporated into the Military Intelligence Bureau or the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.
There are two main opinions regarding the use of these pirates: one is not to attack the pirates, but to incite them to harass the mainland.
One option is to reorganize these pirates, keep the obedient ones, and kill the disobedient ones, and then launch a counterattack under the leadership of their island guerrillas!
The former is naturally what those intelligence agencies should do first. These intelligence agencies do not have enough capable military personnel, so doing this can ensure their role and merit.
Chen Yingbei's task was to keep an eye on Zhang Guohao.
The proper military leadership wouldn't tolerate these trashy pirates; they'd either be recruited or they'd be killed.
Although Chen Yingbei was photographed by the Kuomintang's Military Intelligence Bureau, he himself had a strong background in civil engineering.
The Civil Engineering faction has joined forces with other factions to clean up these pirates and turn them into a unified force.
Chen Yingbei was quite busy, keeping an eye on Zhang Guohao while also coordinating with others to prepare explosives.
This is also one of the reasons why Chen Yingbei suffered even more inner torment, leading to his mental instability.
The Military Intelligence Bureau wanted Chen Yingbei to incite the pirates to their deaths, while the Civil Engineering Clique wanted Chen Yingbei to recruit them and arrange for their deaths.
These are clearly two different directions of development. Chen Yingbei can now live in a single room and has a good supply of materials, some of which are sent by the Civil Engineering Department and some by the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Therefore, Chen Yingbei could only adopt the same attitude as the Number Gang and Xinji towards both parties: to deceive them!
However, neither side expected Chen Yingbei to be fooled. In the eyes of those manipulating things behind the scenes, Chen Yingbei's background and identity meant he had no other choice!
Zhang Guohao didn't choose the wrong person. Chen Yingbei had gathered a lot of intelligence, but even though Chen Yingbei was crippled, Zhang Guohao still had to analyze this intelligence himself.
The person who could procure two thousand kilograms of TNT must have been from the military.
Some people from the Civil Engineering Department and the Navy joined forces and dispatched a small platoon to infiltrate the area. They planned to take advantage of the fact that everyone at the pirate convention was present to capture people directly, aiming to capture the leader first and then force these big pirates to reorganize their smaller pirate groups.
If the big and small pirates don't cooperate, then give them a ruthless blow: kill off several key targets, blow up the exit, and force them to reorganize.
While the intelligence agencies were still focused on dealing with fleets like Boss Huo's, the military was about to launch a major operation!
The two sides' thinking and practices are clearly not on the same level.
Zhang Guohao looked at Chen Yingbei, who was drooling on the ground and whose words were becoming increasingly incoherent, and knew that he wouldn't get any important information out of this kid.
Zhang Guohao stepped on Chen Yingbei's neck and broke it. Then he searched the room to see if he could find anything useful, preferably where the TNT was hidden. It would be even better if he could find out who the other party's men were.
