Chapter 188: Veterans Never Die [4000]

There were two full backpacks of money, all in last year’s newly issued hundred-dollar bills.

The final count: a full 198 million.

It was so amazing that it stunned these cutest people.

Finally, it was their captain who took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, take the money and these two dead bastards, and raid their lair."

"Yes."

Everyone is united in their hatred of the enemy.

Because during the hiding process just now, they heard clearly every word said by the two outsiders who broke into their hiding place.

Especially when I heard that they not only stole the country's minerals, but were also planning to flee southward and abroad with the money from reselling the country's minerals, I suddenly wanted to shoot them all with a gun.

"It's over."

"It's all over."

Brother Bao and Brother Guangbei, who were lying on the ground pretending to be dead, felt their blood pressure rise immediately after hearing the words of their captain, who were these people in camouflage uniforms. They knew that they had no chance of escape and would probably have to spend a long time in jail. Their fear instantly grew, and they trembled all over. They wet their pants, their eyes rolled back, and they really fainted this time.

"Useless things."

"Come two people, take them away."

The captain squatted down, checked on the two of them, and found that they were really unconscious this time. He immediately stood up, covering his nose in disgust, and called a few soldiers to carry them and continue their journey.

Soon, we arrived at the tea factory.

The ending is naturally self-evident. They were all caught in one fell swoop, not even a dog was spared.

Old Wei was still doing ideological work for the villagers at the foot of the mountain, earnestly urging them to stay calm, stay calm, and never act impulsively.

however.

Inside the tea factory on the mountain, something unexpected was happening.

Guo Aqiang was the first person to discover that Brother Guangbei was missing. He followed Brother Guangbei, and when his boss disappeared, he became extremely anxious as if his heart was being scratched by a cat, but he was not so stupid as to be hopeless.

At this time, he also realized the danger.

So, he only told this bad news to his best friend Ma Laosan. They got along pretty well recently. When he was riding that broken motorcycle outside, he would pick up girls and sleep in the same room. This way, they could save money and have more fun.

Although Ma Laosan is stupid, he is not hopelessly stupid. He has a lot of experience in jail and knows that if he is caught, it will not be as simple as just staying in jail for a few days.

The two of them decided to run.

The boss has run away, and he must have taken the money with him. The only thing to do now is to chase him. Maybe the boss will feel sorry for them and take them with him.

Otherwise, after all the money they have left, they won't even have enough to pay for their escape. If they just go to the south, won't they have to go back to their previous hard lives?

Just felt comfortable for a few months.

They won't do that.

So the two of them quietly prepared to slip away.

Tell others?
It was impossible to tell anyone else.

They are also counting on others to block bullets from behind. It would be best if, once something happens, they would take the blame and not harm others. They still want to be good citizens, and maybe one day they will be able to return home in glory in the future.

This is a good dream.

Unfortunately, as soon as they stepped out of the fence, a black pipe was pressed against their foreheads.

"Put your hands up, hold your head, and squat down!"

"Quick, stop talking!"

The deep and stern voice, coupled with the familiar camouflage uniform, made both of them wet their eyes.

Soon after, even the crotch of my pants became wet.

"It's over."

It's really over.

The soldiers have already reached the corner of the tea factory, so none of them is destined to escape.

All were quickly subdued.

Their miserable appearance is similar to that of their role models, Brother Bao and Brother Guangbei.

The gangsters cried for their parents.

Some shouted that they were wronged.

Some cried and said that they had an 80-year-old paralyzed mother and a mute child who was still breastfeeding, and that they could not go to jail. They begged the People's Liberation Army comrades to let them go and said they were willing to pay for their freedom, saying that they had money, a lot of money.

He argued that he knew nothing about it and that it was Brother Bao and Brother Guangbei who ordered it. He was just an ordinary, poor person who was kept in the dark and begged to be let off.

All kinds of nonsense.

Finally, they saw that Brother Bao, who had disappeared before, and Brother Guangbei, their backbone brothers who had wet their pants and fainted twice, were also caught.

The "truth" was learned again. It was because of the escape of these two people that they were surrounded and attacked by these soldiers.

They immediately started cursing.

At this point, it was no use trying to deny it, so they all pushed the blame onto the two traitors, Brother Bao and Brother Guangbei, and took the initiative to act as tainted witnesses, confessing that these two were the masterminds behind the theft of national minerals.

At this point, the truth was finally revealed.

However, even so, others cannot escape the charge of being accomplices.

After the soldiers cleaned the factory, they found hundreds of thousands of cash from the corners and bumps in the factory. They were all hidden by other shareholders who had been arrested. Together with the 198 million cash found in Brother Bao and Brother Guangbei's bags before, the total cash exceeded 250 million.

What concept is it equivalent to?
Economists in later generations, through analysis of macro data models, came to the conclusion that during the period from the late 80s to the early 90s, the purchasing power of 1 yuan was approximately equivalent to between 75 and 100 yuan in later generations, and 100 yuan was approximately equivalent to between 7500 and 1 yuan. So now there is a huge amount of 250 million in cash. How much purchasing power does it amount to in later generations?

It's hard to estimate. But it should be at least over 1 million, right?
Now let’s talk about influence.

There are currently few public millionaires in the country.

Now there are one and a half people caught here, and a group of little brothers.

This case is bound to cause another sensation.

"My goodness!"

"So much money?"

"Also, is this case really handed over to me?"

When Lao Wei was invited to go up the mountain, he was still in a daze.

How does it feel like when pie falls from the sky?
He didn't understand it before, but now he understands everything. He is happier about this incident than when he got married. He even felt so excited during his wedding night.

Stacks of cash were neatly stacked on the ground, most of which were the latest 100-yuan notes. This latest 100-yuan note was only released last year, and Lao Wei had never seen it before. There were very few of them in circulation in the market, because these days, unless you were buying a big item, the seller would have to collect change for a 10-yuan note before he could leave.

It would be difficult to use the 100 yuan one.

Now, I have finally broadened my horizons, and I have seen so much at once. There was a little sand in my eyes, but it was the golden sand.

"Comrade Wei Zheng, please arrange for someone to count the money. Although our people have already counted it, when it is officially handed over to you, to ensure that there are no omissions in the money during the handover process, your people will need to be accompanied by our people to personally count it for it to count."

"This is the amount of money seized. Once you have counted it and confirmed it is correct, please sign it."

The military cannot interfere in local law enforcement; this is an iron rule.

Before, it could be said that it was to eliminate harm for the people, and the bad guys took the initiative to run into the training area of ​​the army, which was equivalent to delivering themselves to the door, so they were solved easily. If they were to pull them back into the army, it would be a violation of military discipline.

Although the amount of stolen money is indeed not small.

However, after weighing it over and over again, the captain decided to listen to his leader. The leader only told him to do a small favor for the local people while leading the team in training, but did not ask him to capture the prisoner, so he could not act on his own.

"Yes, comrade, rest assured. I promise to bring the bad guys to justice."

Old Wei is excited!

This is a sure thing, they didn't even plan to take away so much stolen money. It seems that they have confirmed that the case will be handed over to him, doesn't it mean that he will make a great contribution again?

Before, Ben was worried that it would be difficult for him to secure the position of police station chief after going to the county. But now, he doesn't care much about the small position of police station chief anymore.

Such a great contribution has been made.

Isn't it also possible for him to set his life goals higher?

You must show off.

I'll show off to Zheng Suo when I get back and make him jealous to death.

But before that, he had to first express his highest respect to these most lovely people in front of him. He unconsciously put his feet together and gave the most standard military salute!
Then he took the pen and paper handed over by the captain, confirmed the amount was correct, and signed his name.

At this point, the case has been transferred to the local authorities.

...

"Old squad leader, this place is nice, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, it is indeed suitable for health preservation."

"I'm old, and my health has been much worse in the past year. Before the mountain behind was closed, I could go hunting, but now I can only rely on fishing to kill time."

"Don't worry, old squad leader. I believe the cancer will be eradicated soon, and everything will be back to normal. If you are bored and want to go hunting in the mountains, you must call me. I will serve you at your service. Although I am old, I will always be the rookie who ran errands for you in front of you."

"Okay, you're an old man, and you still want to serve me. Do I need you to serve me? Go away, do your own thing and don't disturb me while I'm fishing."

When Lu Yang, Lao Liu, and Da Jun arrived at the pond, they happened to see the pond opposite. Two old men were arguing with each other. In the shade of a tree in the distance, in an inconspicuous position, there were several men in camouflage uniforms on guard.

I hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether I should go forward.

The second grandfather had already seen them and waved: "Child, come here. Dajun, you stay over there."

He didn't call his eldest grandson, but only called Lu Yang over.

"He is also my descendant, a blood relative within the fifth degree of mourning. His grandfather and I are cousins. He is the most promising one among the younger generations of our Lu family. He is much better than my foolish grandson. Let me introduce him to you."

Old people tend to speak more directly.

He then pointed to the old man next to him who was at least a dozen years younger than him, and said to Lu Yang: "Call him Grandpa Zhong. Your Grandpa Zhong is the commander of the troop that came today. He is responsible for protecting the airstrip behind us. In addition, he is also in charge of the county armed forces department. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can go directly to him. This old guy owed me a life back then. If he dares to ignore you, you go and tell Second Grandpa. Second Grandpa can still walk and help you teach him a lesson."

Lu Yang held back his laughter and greeted, "Hello, Grandpa Zhong."

But Grandpa Zhong had a bitter face and said, "Old squad leader, it's been so many years, why do you always mention it every time we meet? Can we not mention it?"

It's like talking about something very shameful.

Grandpa Zhong looked at Lu Yang and said, "Little friend, don't listen to your second grandfather. If you have any problems, just come to me. As long as it doesn't involve issues of principle, it's fine. Also, don't deduct the life I owe you."

The second grandfather blew his beard and glared at the old man and said, "Zhong Defa, you have explained it clearly. Why can't you mention it again? Back then, you were just a new soldier. It was your first time on the battlefield. You encountered the American devils. The enemy's firepower was too strong. You were scared to the point of almost peeing your pants. Am I wrong? You also tried to be a deserter by sticking your butt out, and were shot in the butt by a stray bullet. It was me who pulled you back to avoid your head being directly split open. Is that right? Also, I bandaged you for fear that you would get infected. I thought that you would definitely not be able to eat snow to quench your thirst like before in your ghost state. Did I use my captured water bottle and my own body temperature to warm up pot after pot of snow water so that you could drink hot water all the time, conserve your energy, and hold on for a day and a night? After the enemy retreated, we withdrew to the rear, and you survived, isn't that right? Without me, would you still be alive and kicking now?"

"Yes, yes, you are right, old squad leader. No, but I am not a deserter. I explained it many times back then. I was in a hurry to pee. I turned around because I wanted to pee. The political commissar has already confirmed it. Old squad leader, let's not mention it again, okay?"

"I don't care. You are a bullet in the butt. If the higher-ups decide that you just had to pee, that's their business. To me, you are just a kid who almost deserted the army."

The old man is stubborn.

He was stubborn and refused to change his mind.

He said anxiously, pointing at the other person's nose and said, "What? You are successful now, a leader of the army, and I am just an ordinary farmer. You want to force me to change my words and take back the report I submitted that year, right? I tell you, forget it."

Grandpa Zhong was so angry that his face turned pale. He kept explaining: "Old squad leader, this happened almost 40 years ago. No one is investigating what happened at that time, and no one asked you to change your words. I... I am..."

"It's just bullshit... I'm not fishing anymore."

The second grandfather put away his fishing rod, angrily returned to his room, and slammed the door shut: "Get lost, get lost quickly, don't bother me again, wait until the day I die before you come back."

The result became a truth.
