The eting ended after half an hour, achieving a preliminary resolution to adopt Luo Zheng and others' proposal. Luo Zheng was asked to submit a concrete plan, which ant this arduous task ultimately fell on the shoulders of the Fourth Squadron. Luo Zheng left the headquarters with the eting's decision and quickly returned to the Fourth Squadron, where he called Lan Xue, Hong ihua, and Lan Xing into his office for a consultation.
Everyone was both excited and worried to hear that the mission had arrived. They were happy about the trust and importance the higher-ups placed on the Fourth Squadron, but concerned about what they would do if they couldn't complete the mission. The First Squadron was the strongest team among the four special service bureau squadrons, but now they were completely uncontactable. The Third Squadron was also very robust and familiar with the Arctic Bear and the Snow Bear Special Forces, yet they were also ambushed and uncontactable. The enemy was exceptionally powerful and the situation was unclear. Could the Fourth Squadron undertake such a daunting task?
Everyone kept this concern in their hearts without expressing it outwardly, sinking into deep thought. After a while, Hong ihua suddenly said, "Since the mission has arrived, no matter how difficult it is, we must stand firm. The urgent task now is to formulate a plan. Let share my thoughts."
Everyone perked up and leaned in to listen to Hong ihua.
"We can prepare for the worst, suppose it's really the Eight-Nation Alliance working together, or perhaps Snow Bear has invited other rcenaries to join the battle. No matter who it is, the first ambush against Shadow involved nearly ten thousand people, indicating that Arctic Bear was the primary force, or other forces hadn't arrived yet, which could also an others required Arctic Bear to show a stance first. We can disregard all these hypotheticals. The second ambush against Snow Fox involved over a thousand, and these people seem like the total forces of the alliance that we have to confront. We're dealing with over a thousand highly trained specialists," Hong ihua reminded.
"That's correct, we can understand it that way. Continue," Luo Zheng nodded and urged.
"Over a thousand enemies are not sothing we can face head-on; we can only outmanoeuvre. Military affairs aren't my forte, I won't interrupt your judgnt. I'll share so insights from the perspective of espionage, which ultimately revolves around two points: interest and conspiracy. Of course, the purpose of conspiracy is still interest. What gathers them together?" Hong ihua continued.
"What?" Lan Xing asked in surprise.
"Specifically, what interests brought them together?" Hong ihua glanced at Lan Xing and continued, "Sam Country and Arctic Bear Country have conflicts, making alliance improbable unless there's enough interest. Certainly, for Arctic Bear to agree to an alliance, another possibility is hatred. Arctic Bear has a strong sense of revenge. In other words, if they ca together for revenge, our Fourth Squadron would be the real target. Rember, we've beaten them before, and the animosity is deeply rooted."
"I sense the sa. If it really is the Eight-Nation Alliance, then they are scheming against us. Heavy ambush against Shadow shows their attitude and resolve to urge other countries to send troops. Once these countries' armies arrive, they ambush Snow Fox's Third Squadron. Two of our special service bureau squadrons have been sent, naturally making us next. I suspect there's an enormous trap waiting for us ahead; if we dive into it, it'll lead to doom," Luo Zheng agreed and supported.
"But if we don't dive in, this matter will remain a permanent mystery. Brothers from the First and Third Squadrons' fates remain unknown. This is absolutely unacceptable; soone has to dive in, and we are the most fitting choice. Of course, it may not be the Eight-Nation Alliance but rcenaries hired instead." Hong ihua said.
"Regardless of what it is, this is related to Arctic Bear Country," Lan Xue said solemnly. "Ultimately, this accountability will fall onto Arctic Bear. I propose targeting Arctic Bear first to uncover their conspiracy and the truth."
"Indeed, that's also what I wanted to say. We know the hiding place of the Snow Bear Special Forces and are aware of their high-level personnel identities. Finding one of them to inquire will set things straight." Hong ihua suggested.
"Makes sense, how do we proceed?" Luo Zheng asked.
"Two thods: First, we can ask other departnts' intelligence personnel to help us probe into the situation. Another approach is for us to take action personally." Hong ihua explained.
"Getting help might not be suited; the enemy isn't simple, and one misstep might cause a big ss. I've heard claims that the KGB is pervasive, with sharp attacks, very formidable. It's better we do it ourselves. Any specific suggestions?" Luo Zheng pondered and asked.
"It's simple; we know a Major General from the Snow Bear Special Forces responsible for archival docunts. Such a large operation surely involves a ticulous plan, which would require presidential approval and docuntation. The archive falls under this Major General's managent. Find him, get the archive, and we'll gain the specific plan. Even if there are no written records, such a significant move must have had etings and decisions. This Major General would have been present as an observer, knowing lots of things." Hong ihua suggested.
Luo Zheng listened, and his eyes lit up, smiling as he looked at Hong ihua: "Good idea, first locate him, then after having the specific plan, we'll decide the next step. Any thoughts?"
"This should be done sooner rather than later. We can act first; the Major General works in Kelin Palace, typically moves in and out discreetly, with his identity under wraps. We know this because of frequent engagents with the Snow Bear Special Forces. He has bodyguards, and he's quite capable himself, not easy to capture. He has a wife, a son, and they live harmoniously. This might be an angle to approach from."
Luo Zheng pondered, feeling Hong ihua's idea had feasibility, nodded, and said: "If it's like this, we needn't act personally, we can directly have intelligence personnel do it."
"It's possible, but unexpected situations can't be ruled out. Moreover, being present might yield genuine intelligence. Our intelligence personnel might not grasp the entire matter, and what's obtained might not be of value to us." Hong ihua reminded.
"Yeah, that makes sense. Let's arrange this quickly." Luo Zheng contemplated and said, then looked at Lan Xue.
Lan Xue thought for a mont and said, "We can use diplomatic channels, enter as temporary staff, wear silicone masks to avoid exposure. Our information is probably filed in Arctic Bear Country, appearing suddenly might attract unnecessary trouble. It's best to act covertly. Give three days to prepare."
"Alright, three days later, I'll go with Hong ihua, you stay behind to continue recuperating and oversee everything, especially newcor integration into the team. It'll be easier for the two of us to act in the target location." Luo Zheng said with a serious expression.
"What about ?" Lan Xing asked in surprise.
"You'll provide remote intelligence support at any ti." Luo Zheng instructed.
"Understood." Lan Xing promptly agreed.
"For reporting to the higher-ups, your efforts will be appreciated." Luo Zheng looked at Hong ihua and said, his expression heavy, contemplating, his tiger eyes slightly narrowed with a hint of sharp ferocity.
