Chapter 312: Chapter 307: Advanced Maneuvers

The harried Taigore was dragged out of the quagmire of constant phone calls by Mountain Eagle, who took him to a wheat field for a shooting test.

Now Taigore is a bit like a school principal, too greedy for power!

He’s not on the frontlines but wants to direct the battle from afar, which isn’t something that can’t be done, but it must be supported by an effective intelligence system and from a strategic level, not interfering with tactics in excessive detail.

This disconnection can lead not only to redundant actions but also to chaos on the front lines due to unequal information.

Mountain Eagle felt that this guy was getting feverish and might mess things up, so he simply pulled him away from the whirlpool of calls, hoping to give him some time to cool down.

Taigore stood on the ridge of a field, watching Butcher and Daria crouch on the ground, holding a modernized AK-105 completely distinct from the Thai police firearms, and aiming at a straw man a hundred meters away for calibration.

Looking at Mountain Eagle beside him, arms folded and expression calm, Taigore frowned and said, "What are you doing?

I have a lot of things to handle over there!"

Mountain Eagle shook his head slightly and said, "I have to pull you out for a while, otherwise, you’ll be stuck in the inertia of work.

And this is exactly what Round Table Knight wants!"

Taigore, frowning, asked, "What do you mean?"

As Mountain Eagle watched Butcher hit the straw man’s head with one shot, he clapped and said to Taigore, "When you focus all your energy on the disappearing sugar, you subconsciously neglect what is truly important.

As police, of course, you have a responsibility to society, but don’t forget, the police need to fight the villains even more.

We’re in a passive state. If you choose to be led by the nose by Round Table Knight, we’ll become even more passive.

You’re not a robot; you can’t handle that much information...

I know the police have been fighting corruption, so there have been a lot of personnel changes recently, but the more that’s happening, the more you need to select a few people to trust.

Put pressure on them, not guide them like a dad step by step.

Don’t tell me you don’t know how to consolidate power?"

Saying this, Mountain Eagle looked at a gradually calming Taigore and said seriously, "Have you ever considered that when you put yourself in that anxious environment, forming a habit of passive coping, you’ll be led by the nose like training a dog?

You need to calm down, delegate power to others, and take a step back to think from a higher perspective.

The responsibility of the police is to fight bad guys, and what you should be most concerned with is how to prevent the villains from succeeding!"

Taigore listened and replied with a bitter smile, "Don’t you realize the current situation...

It was you who used the human trafficking case involving the US Army to leverage the British Government, adding pressure on the police to conduct a wave of intense anti-corruption.

Then there was the list of Replacers, and the police launched another major purge.

The British government stepped down, Bayu’s government took over, and they didn’t cancel the anti-corruption efforts within the police.

There isn’t anyone in Pattaya who can handle the situation now; otherwise, why would I, no fool, carry everything on my shoulders.

My parents are not retired; there’s nowhere for my damn promotion to go!

I wouldn’t be doing this if there were any other way, right?"

At first, Mountain Eagle thought Taigore was too controlling, which is why he was commanding in such detail, but it turned out to be because the anti-corruption had left Pattaya with no one to use...

Mountain Eagle didn’t know whether to be angry or amused...

Anti-corruption had ousted the brains of the police force in a region, something ridiculous that seems to only happen during a coup, or it would be laughable enough to make others lose their teeth.

Looking at Taigore’s helpless and embarrassed appearance, Mountain Eagle, with his hands spread, said, "Then you should let go even more, pick a few guys you think are okay, and use this situation for a screening.

Round Table Knight is Mercenary, and they are unlikely to dare to really carry out terror attacks, which means Pattaya police has a sufficient margin for error.

You are responsible for giving orders and then through mobilization and execution to judge which ones are worth cultivating and which should be kicked out."

Taigore looked at the always calm Mountain Eagle and asked, "How can you stay so calm?"

As Mountain Eagle watched Daria hit the head of the straw man, he clapped and said, "Because a bad thing that has to come can’t run away!

The word crisis includes both ’danger’ and ’opportunity.’ If you only focus on ’danger,’ it’s easy to overlook the ’opportunity.’

Whether it’s good or bad, there will be those who are disappointed and those who benefit!

A qualified leader, even at the hardest times, should not throw oneself into the fray but unite a part of those who may benefit, mobilize them, and work together to offset the negative effects."

With that, Mountain Eagle looked at Taigore and laughed, "Buddy, according to what you said, Pattaya has a lot of high-level vacancies.

You can use these vacancies to mobilize people below.

There are no places lacking in smart people...

A bunch of smart people finding solutions is much better than you being desperate alone!"

Taigore fell silent after hearing this...

He felt Mountain Eagle was too optimistic about the quality of Pattaya police, but he had to admit that Mountain Eagle was right.

In fact, everyone understands the principle, but when you are in the situation, it’s hard not to lose balance and face the problems calmly.

Taigore is the typical case of someone becoming mentally unbalanced due to high pressure, the intertwined chain of complex politics, interests, and security issues was too much for him to untangle.

This ’inability to untangle’ mainly manifested in focusing all his attention on the ’police’ identity, seeing himself as a savior, ready to throw himself into the fray at any moment.

Not only are such circumstances dangerous to deal with, but opportunities are also missed.

Facing Mountain Eagle’s patient persuasion, Taigore suddenly calmed down a lot...

After all, the worst-case scenario is to transfer everyone out, let the Round Table Knights have a showdown with the United States...

Losing wouldn’t hurt much, but winning could win over a group of capable and clever people, which definitely made sense in every way.

Looking at Mountain Eagle who seemed at ease, Taigore thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I’ll leave command of the small building to you, let Red Beret’s Chaisong support you. Do you think you can handle it?

You’re right, but if I want to integrate those people, I can’t stay here all the time.

I need to take Supa and others to meet those ’clever people’ one by one. Only in this way, as you said, can we solve the problem."

Mountain Eagle looked at Taigore, who had finally understood, and nodded with a smile, "Me? I’m definitely fine.

But are you sure you want a temporary worker to be the Commander?"

Taigore nodded emphatically and said, "Yes, you take command on-site, sometimes I feel you know better than I do what we need!

After I go back, I’ll give the order and have Major Chaisong support you!

The key question is, do you think this number of people is enough?"

Mountain Eagle looked at Taigore, who had made up his mind, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "A company of Red Berets, plus two Striker Armored Vehicles, is enough to level the small building, so this strength is more than sufficient."

Saying this Mountain Eagle looked at Taigore, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "As for you, you need to find someone who looks roughly like you in height and appearance to switch clothes with...

The most important thing now is that you can’t have any accidents. If something happens to you, Pattaya will collapse immediately.

Before those people in the small building launched an attack, they had attacked Samantha, which proves they have the idea to attack you.

And there must be some policemen in Pattaya who harbor ill will towards your family, it wouldn’t be too much to be too careful.

How about this, you take 30 Red Berets with you, they surely won’t have any problems.

I’ll keep around 60 soldiers here, and with a few policemen assisting with miscellaneous affairs it’ll be sufficient!"

Taigore was very clear that he wasn’t as sober as Mountain Eagle at the moment, and he cared a lot about his own safety issues.

He nodded decisively and accepted Mountain Eagle’s suggestion, Taigore took a deep breath, pointed to the AK-105 on Mountain Eagle’s body, and said, "Let me try it, I need to calm down..."

Mountain Eagle handed over his rifle without a word, smiling, "The holographic sight has been calibrated, zeroed at 50 yards...

But this thing is not very effective beyond 200 yards. If you want to shoot at a more distant target, just flip up the magnifying scope, the 3x magnifier is fine for targets up to 300 yards."

Taigore felt the AK-105 in his hands, deftly removed the magazine to check the chamber, then loaded the magazine, flicked off the safety, and squatted down to pull the trigger at the straw man a hundred meters away.

The high-end holographic sight used by Mountain Eagle was very advanced, with adjustable brightness and a night vision mode; after zeroing, one could use the red circle in the middle of the lens to judge the target’s distance.

An average adult is about 1.7 meters, so looking through the lens, a person that perfectly fits in the red circle at 100 yards, which is 90 meters...

If the figure in the lens is only half the height of the red circle, that’s 200 yards - the maximum aiming distance for this sight.

Beyond this distance, you would need the help of a quick flip 3x magnifier.

This set of optics was the best combination Mountain Eagle could think of because they could fully unleash the range and power of the AK-105.

Just like Taigore now, who, using this rifle for the first time, hit the straw man at a hundred meters.

Although the first few shots didn’t hit the part he wanted, hitting the target was already a pretty good achievement.

However, coming from the Pasok family, which had a tradition of participating in firearms competitions, after a few slow adjustments, he hit the straw man’s head with the fifth shot.

With a series of crisp sounds, debris flew from the straw man’s head...

After emptying a magazine, Taigore removed the magazine to check the chamber, then looked at the short barrel suppressor smoking slightly and curiously asked Mountain Eagle, "This gun is completely different from any AK I’ve encountered before, where did you have it custom-made?

Can they custom-make AR rifles? I would like one of these rifles too..."

Mountain Eagle was accustomed to Taigore’s current attitude because he had not inquired about the origins of the weapons, but rather expressed a proactive desire to become an ’accomplice.’

With his status, that meant he recognized Mountain Eagle and his men’s authority to possess these weapons.

Taking back his rifle, Mountain Eagle smiled and said, "You have an eye for quality. I’ll ask around for you later, if there’s a good AR series, I’ll procure it for you."

Feeling better, Taigore patted Mountain Eagle on the arm with a smile, saying, "Then you remember..."

While he was talking, Pigeon, who had been adjusting his gun on the side, suddenly cheered and then repeatedly pulled the trigger...

His VSS emitted a series of suppressed knocking sounds, causing dust to rise from a bush over forty meters away.

"450 meters, this baby is amazing!"

With the VSS in his arms as if embracing a lover, Pigeon said excitedly to Mountain Eagle, "Boss, shooting with her sounds and recoils like a toy, but it’s easy to hit a target at 450 meters!"

Hearing this, Mountain Eagle laughed and replied, "As long as you like it..."
