Chapter 535 Yuan Ba\'s Reques
"Yes, I was hoping to discuss with Yang Ling whether if you are able to spare more than just police for the training as well. But considering how I saw the police acted during the Ruby Rats Incident, I do not really have much faith to other stations than people posted to Tian Gong Police Station." Jin said, and Yuan Ba bitterly laughed.
"That... was partially under my orders. The police as a whole are considered to be affiliated with the Royal Zodiac Tigers even though it could be said that the majority was managed by the other clans or the common folks themselves."
"When I heard that the Triad bosses personally entered the fray to fight against you, my only concern was to reduce casualties in the vicinity. Especially since I\'m aware that most of them do not have the cultivation grade to stand toe to toe against the Triads themselves." Yuan Ba explained, and while he seemed slightly apologetic towards Jin. The Tiger Head did not mince his word a single bit and stood by them.
"There\'s a SWAT team in Tiangong Police Station, yet they alone couldn\'t have handled such a size. It would have required Central to dispatch more SWAT teams or other police stations to reinforce the perimeters. However, given their inability to do so, they took my orders literally and stood down. It can only be described as a disgrace to my police\'s reputation." Yuan Ba felt something must be done to change the attitudes of his police force.
"Hence, I am sending every abled police officers, including the higher ranks to participate in this joint military and police training exercise as soon as you manage to create one. I will make sure the logistics are settled on our side as I can send my military people to temporarily hold the fort for a day."
"...Wait. So, you want me to perform a mass training exercise not just for Tiangong Police Department but for the entire police force of Shenzhen?" Jin exclaimed, and Yuan Ba nodded his head.
"Yes, if possible, I would like some of my military units to enter the exercise as well, especially when I heard that you are preparing them for monster horde attacks." He then leaned forward to Jin\'s face and whispered to him.
"What I am going to tell you is considered highly confidential. Recently, the Border Guard reports are not favourable at all. My analysts predict that there will be another major, devastating monster horde attack within a year or two unless something unforeseen happens." After which, Yuan Ba stepped back and smiled at him. Only Jin was feeling uncomfortable upon hearing the news.
"...Optimistically or worst case scenario?" Jin asked, and Yuan Ba sighed.
"That\'s the optimistic scenario. The forest bordering Shenzhen between Dong Guan and Hui Zhou is not much of a concern. We are more afraid of coastal attack. However, I do not have much more information other than the daily intelligence snippets from the military. We do not control the navy, the Royal Zodiac Sheep Clan does." Yuan Ba replied.
"So, in a way, what you want is for me to simulate the monsters who could arrive through the naval defences?" Jin asked, and he nodded his head.
"Something like that. But it would also be great if we could train for multiple potentialities. Perhaps they could remain undetected until they surface to the coast, who knows? We are so out of touch from monsters that we do not know if they mutated."
"Maybe worse if they swam from Zhongshan and hit the West Coast which includes Shenzhen\'s international airport. It would equally be a nightmare if it attacks Hong Kong, and we have to settle both refugees and the defence of the city." Yuan Ba stated all the possible scenarios out he could think of at the moment.
"I might not be able to do a replication of such realistic situations, but I\'ve thought of some ways to surprise the military and police if the instance ever happens," Jin said. He was still thinking of his plan for raining Demon Rats upon them. That would definitely be harder to deal with than a coastal assault by monsters.
"I am assuming you are in the process of making something?" Yuan Ba asked, but it felt more like an indirect order.
"I am working out the theoretical part to accommodate that many people in a fighting instance. The biggest fighting instance as far as I am aware had about 200 cultivators with 1000 monsters, and it was a horror maintaining it from what I know." Jin explained.
"What you two have asked of me requires me to break a new record. Still, I believe it should be doable. Once the math checks out, you will be the first to know." Jin tried indirectly to ask for more time by giving reasonable excuses. However, the Tiger Lord was apparently keen on getting a concrete date.
"Very well, shall we do it before Chinese New Year?" Yuan Ba questioned Jin further, and he could sense that the Zodiac Tiger Head was withholding some information from the dungeon supplier due to the pressing timeline.
"Aren\'t the weeks towards Chinese New Year also the period that police needs to be on high alert?"
"So, you are saying that you could do in January instead of Feb?" Yuan Ba seemed even more delighted, and Jin started to feel the strain on his resources if he started even earlier.
"No, I was actually suggesting after Chinese New Year Holidays."
"That would be a problem... after the Chinese New Year Holidays there are multiple international conferences that the police needs to participate in." Yuan Ba\'s excuse wasn\'t really great, but Jin was in no position to call him out on it. From what he knew about the other party, there had to be a good reason for this rush.
"Hmm okay. How about the second week of February? Chinese New Year happens to be on the fourth week of February in next year\'s calendar." Jin tried going for a compromise to get the latest possible date. He knew the third week was where the security was doubled almost everywhere due to the preparation for the celebration, and it was impossible for the police to relieve their duties by the military.
"I would personally be grateful to you if it could be arranged for the first week of February." Yuan Ba placed his arms on Jin\'s shoulder and tapped it \'gently\' enough to remind him of his promise.
"Don\'t worry, I will send some…support along the way in the next few days. Call it some motivation to get it down as soon as possible." Yuan Ba let go of him after patting him on the back. He bowed once at Grandma Yuan, who was talking to her students.
"I will inform Hou Fei too then," Jin said, and Yuan Ba smiled as he walked out of the conference room instance.
"Oh, and eh tell Yang Ling not to come back home too late." With his back facing Jin, the dungeon supplier somewhat understood what he meant and acknowledged it with a defeated sigh.
