87: No secrets
The Little girl had also regained consciousness by this point. Her mother quickly prompted her to express her gratitude as well. Xu Ning waved his hand and softly replied, "No need to thank me."
After a slight hesitation, Xu Ning took out a few dollar bills from his pocket and handed them to the mother.
"Here's 1000 dollars. Please take it. It should help you settle down."
Looking at the money in her hand, the mother's eyes welled up with tears as she repeatedly thanked him, but Xu Ning simply declined further thanks.
If used properly, this money would be enough for them to live for a while. Any more might attract unnecessary trouble, as wealth can sometimes bring disaster.
For the poor, facing a large amount of cash makes it difficult to guarantee that no one will do something excessive because of it. Xu Ning felt that 1000 dollars was a reasonable test of human nature.
As the mother and daughter boarded the vehicle with the other refugees, the refrigerated truck slowly started and drove away along the original road, until it disappeared into the distance.
Afterward, Xu Ning turned to look at Kadeyafu, preparing to formally deal with the prisoner. He walked directly in front of Kadeyafu and asked in chinese, "Tell me, which route to the Utopia border has the fewest troops stationed?"
Only then did Kadeyafu understand the other party's purpose. He looked at everyone mockingly.
"Hmph, I advise you to give up on that idea."
"The troop density at the Utopia border is much stricter than here. No matter which road, there is at least one regiment defending, and the fastest mutual support is no more than five minutes."
"With just this many people, you don't even qualify as cannon fodder for them!"
"Only this many people?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, not reacting immediately. Kadeyafu, however, was full of confidence. Although he had been scared and sprawled on the ground earlier, he had indeed heard the shouts of other soldiers saying that a platoon of troops was attacking them.
Xie Miao felt puzzled and asked directly, "Why are there so many soldiers stationed on your side of the border, while it's so relaxed here?"
"This is because the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria is planning to declare independence using the opportunity of the Bear Country army being recalled to the mainland."
"The border leading to Utoman is where the Bear army might attack, so more troops are needed for defense."
"The status of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria is somewhat different from other member states."
"Besides not being allowed to have its own army, it also doesn't have the right to declare independence."
"If they really declare independence, the Bear Country will definitely send troops to suppress them, so that place has become the first line of defense."
"And where we are now is actually the border of the Bear Country. The Bear army naturally won't attack from here, so not too many troops are needed."
Most of Xu Ning's analysis came from his memory of history.
He remembered that shortly after the dissolution of the Bear Country, the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria also declared independence, but it didn't last long.
The Arctic Bear, which had taken over the legal heritage of the Bear Country, quickly sent troops to suppress the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.
It was also at that time that the special forces of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria began to make their mark internationally, until a certain key figure appeared, and all of this came to an end.
The person in front of him could actually clearly understand such confidential military deployment situations within the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, which made Kadeyafu feel incredible.
He couldn't figure out how this person knew this information.
Did he unintentionally reveal something?
He shook his head, thinking it was unlikely, as they hadn't spoken much to each other.
This person must have stolen these top-secret intelligence through some channel.
That's how it must be!
Could there be an inside man in the higher ranks?
How could an Asian City person infiltrate the higher ranks of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria?
The more Kadeyafu thought about it, the more his scalp tingled, feeling like his head was about to explode.
However, Xu Ning ignored Kadeyafu's surprised expression and continued, "Furthermore, the troops he mentioned are mostly temporarily assembled militias and volunteers. Their equipment and combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the Bear Country."
His words were not false. The strength of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria lay in its special forces, suitable for small-scale conflicts, otherwise, it wouldn't have been defeated so miserably by the Arctic Bear.
Hearing this, Kadeyafu seemed to have been poked in a sore spot and immediately retorted,
"Hmph, no matter what, our warriors are indeed stationed there."
"What do you have to fight against?"
"They can stomp you to death with just one foot each!"
"I suggest you give up this unrealistic idea and honestly take a boat from the Black Sea to Utoman."
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, with a hint of schadenfreude.
"You aren't afraid of the Dog Bear fleet in the Black Sea, are you?"
"The situation is tense now, and the Black Sea Fleet will not be soft on enemies."
"The sea is different from land. If a missile falls, you won't even have anywhere to run."
"So that's why you don't dare to cross the Black Sea, haha..."
Xu Ning scratched his head, thinking that the other party was quite clever, but he didn't have time to chat with him now. He took out the small knife again and walked towards the other party.
"I don't have time to beat around the bush with you, stop talking nonsense."
"You just need to answer my question."
Seeing the small knife in Xu Ning's hand, Kadeyafu's face turned pale with fright, as if he had seen a ghost.
In the past, Basayev would only scare him but never get serious. This time, Xu Ning's action left him with lingering fear.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Seeing that Xu Ning had no intention of stopping, cold sweat broke out on Kadeyafu's forehead and flowed down his cheeks.
"Don't, don't come over!"
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
"Nazran! The route to Nazran has the fewest troops stationed, possibly only one regiment, sometimes even less, just two squads."
"And it's far from other garrisons, the closest support will take half an hour to arrive."
"I've told you everything I know, can you let me go?"
At this moment, Xie Miao walked up to Xu Ning and whispered in his ear, "Boss, he's just a small soldier, how would he know this?"
"Is what he said credible?"
Xu Ning smiled and shook his head.
"He's not an ordinary soldier, otherwise that person wouldn't have risked staying to save him earlier."
"He has a prominent grandfather behind him."
Hearing this, Kadeyafu felt a sense of numbness in his heart, feeling that he had no secrets in front of Xu Ning.
"How do you know everything?"
Xu Ning didn't say much, walked towards the driver whose throat had been cut, bowed to show his respect, and then he turned over the body and took out an earphone from the driver.
"I heard it."
It turned out that before setting off, he had secretly placed an earphone on the driver to monitor the situation ahead.
Xie Miao looked at the earphone in Xu Ning's hand and was stunned. He hadn't even noticed this small action.
This was why Xu Ning specifically instructed not to harm this small soldier when he ordered the attack.
His real target, from the beginning, was this small soldier...
