Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 724: Chapter 324: Arrival in Brazil (Part 2)

"So you guys are from the Blue Sword Assault Team, ah, I’ve heard so much about you!"

"You’re too kind, we should be learning from you, the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team. I heard the department just held a commendation ceremony for you and awarded you a first-class honor. We’re so envious!"

A hefty special forces officer with bushy eyebrows laughed modestly.

Gu Ji echoed alongside.

It seemed just as he initially estimated; this "Golden Shield Operation" had pulled a large number of elites from special forces teams across the country. As for why Brazil agreed to Xia Kingdom dispatching such a large police force...

He realized as soon as the car left the airport.

As the capital, Brasília should have been orderly and spacious, with tree-lined streets and bustling traffic.

But now, the roads were somewhat deserted.

Occasionally, a large amount of dark gray dust would drift through the air. Just as Gu Ji was pondering what it was, he turned a corner and encountered cars and trash bins burned down to their frames. Even the bus and tram stop signs by the roadside were destroyed, with broken glass everywhere.

Some building walls still bore obvious black burn marks, and the glass doors of some apartments had several cracks, temporarily taped over with white tape by residents.

After entering the city center, things gradually improved.

Yet, some large shop windows were fitted with protective nets to prevent vandalism by hooligans and thugs, and rows of iron railings were unusually placed on the main avenues.

What was most striking, however, was the number of police cars.

The closer they got to the city center and Three Powers Square, the denser the patrolling police cars became. In front of all the important government departments, there were guards every few steps, with more police officers than pedestrians out shopping.

Through inquiry, a person in charge explained.

To stop the riots as soon as possible, the Brazilian government deployed a total of 40,000 police officers to maintain security in the capital, Brasília.

No wonder Brazil agreed to this operation.

Because they are already stretched thin, unable to solve their domestic issues, let alone handle the matters involving foreigners and delegations.

The "Golden Shield Operation" could not only solve issues for Xia Kingdom but also help ease some of the pressure on the Brazilian police.

It was a win-win situation.

Shortly after the car drove into the city center, it stopped in front of a European-style hotel.

The person in charge had already arranged rooms for Gu Ji and the others, indicating that all police officers participating in the "Golden Shield Operation" would rest here tonight. Tomorrow morning, tasks would be distributed by the embassy.

They bid farewell to their comrades from Jingzhou and Qinzhou.

Gao Bo couldn’t wait to swipe open the room door and plopped onto the soft bed, feeling as if he was glued to it, unable to get up.

After Gu Ji showered, sleepiness overcame him.

Unexpectedly, he was startled awake in the middle of the night by a loud explosion.

Gao Bo was also awakened from his sleep, and the two breathed heavily, exchanging glances.

"What happened?"

"It seems like fireworks exploded!"

Gu Ji listened carefully; there were indeed the sounds of fireworks outside the hotel.

At first, he thought someone was celebrating, but soon chaotic shouting was heard outside, followed by the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground.

The two immediately opened the partition and ran to the open balcony, discovering the occasional firelight and fireworks illuminating the distant sky.

Amidst frequently hearing police sirens wail and helicopters flying by.

They both realized that something must have happened in the city.

Gao Bo had just intended to speak, but unexpectedly, the partition on the neighboring balcony was pushed open and a woman in a white hotel nightgown stepped out.

The light from her room outlined her silhouette distinctly.

Unlike typical women, her physique was not only tall and graceful but her shoulders were broad and straight, most importantly, her waist had no excess fat or flabbiness, giving a sense of health and strength.

Seemingly aware of someone nearby.

She slowly turned her head.

Revealing a unique and enchanting face, her eyes deep and bright, exuding a gentle yet firm glow, a prominent nose, lips full and rosy, and her skin a healthy wheat color, adding a special charm to her.

"Is that you?"

Gu Ji and she almost said in unison.

It turns out this woman was Li Yanan from Mr. Qi’s special forces team.

"Hello, haha, um... Gu Ji, you guys chat first, I’m too tired and will go back to sleep."

Gao Bo, being quite clever, bid them farewell and quickly retreated to his room, even closing the partition door casually.

"So you’re also participating in this operation."

Seeing Gu Ji’s continuous silence, Li Yanan spoke proactively, brushing her bangs.

Her voice, though still so cool, carried a slight wave, seemingly happy to see Gu Ji again.

"Yes, many people were drafted for this."

Gu Ji responded briefly and continued looking at the distant firelight and swiftly moving police cars on the streets.

What he feared most now was the PM Mercenaries stirring up more trouble amidst this chaos.

Li Yanan seemed to see through his thoughts.

"I should have arrived earlier than any of you, arrived this morning early, saw a large number of armed vehicles parked on the streets, the disorder in Brasília is more severe than we imagined, fortunately, the hardest-hit areas are all suburban, while most Xia Kingdom compatriots traveling or enterprise delegations stay in the city center."

Li Yanan, like Gao Bo, considered it merely a simple riot.

Which makes sense because such an uninspiring company as PM is hard to include in intelligence assessments, let alone analyze as a significant danger factor.

Then, a cool breeze brushed by.

Seemingly feeling a bit cold, Li Yanan inadvertently wrapped her chest, but this action made Gu Ji notice slight movement.

He quickly shifted his gaze, coughed twice, "Thank you, it’s late, get some rest."

Brazil being in the southern hemisphere experiences winter around the end of May.

The temperature is much lower than that in Ningzhou, dropping to around 20 degrees at night.

After bidding "Goodnight," watching Gu Ji return to his room, Li Yanan couldn’t help but smile subtly, revealing a row of white, neat teeth, shining like pearls with captivating brilliance.

At seven a.m. the following morning.

Gu Ji got up early, washed up, and changed into a fall-winter black hoodie with a cap, dragging Gao Bo along for breakfast.

Upon entering the hotel dining room.

Wow, goodness.

One could mistake it for a Xia Kingdom tour group renting out the whole hotel; the entire place was filled with Asian faces.

Gu Ji roughly counted, at least about 30 people.

Gao Bo grinned, patting him on the shoulder, "Looks like we have plenty of help for this mission!"

With a big crowd comes a sense of security.

Besides Li Yanan from last night, Gu Ji spotted another familiar face.

This person appeared youthful and similar to him, wearing a gray shirt, shaved cropped hair, with a round shiny bald head, despite his young age, bearing forehead lines, resembling Gao Bo’s cheekiness, yet carrying deeper clarity in his eyes.

This was Li Yaoguang from the Shenzhou special forces team!

"Hey! What a coincidence, meeting again!"

"Indeed, a coincidence, Yaoguang, come join us for a meal, and let’s catch up!"

Gao Bo warmly gestured.

No sooner had he finished speaking, a young woman settled next to Gu Ji with a tray in hand, it was Li Yanan, "Morning!"

"You’re here too?"

Li Yaoguang was a little surprised to see her.

Having greeted her last night, Gao Bo didn’t feel as awkward,

Gu Ji picked up a slice of pizza and took a bite.

The four who hadn’t seen each other for long started discussing this operation, and the conversation became more engaging as they went.

As Gao Bo highlighted PM Company as the focal point this time, sharing it with everyone.

Li Yaoguang and Li Yanan were immediately impressed, and other special forces colleagues nearby, upon hearing it too, gathered around, resulting in their table being surrounded by a crowd.

"That’s amazing, how did you analyze these things?"
