Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Disrupting a deal is ultimately not a wise move. On the other hand, if Japan were to invest a large sum of money and ultimately receive a pile of worthless scrap metal, that would be the most powerful counterattack against Wang Ba and Japan.

If this plan succeeds, Wang Ba's reputation as an arms dealer will be completely ruined. Even the countries that provided him with asylum because of his status as an arms dealer will fundamentally change their attitude towards him.

If this plan proceeds smoothly, the Japanese will have spent a fortune buying back a bunch of junk, and they'll definitely hate Wang Ba with a vengeance. At that point, we won't even need to lift a finger; the Japanese will find a way to get rid of Wang Ba themselves.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Nian understood Gao Shiwei's intention.

No wonder they insisted on having him come back.

Gao Shiwei was well aware of how capable Jiang Nian was in weapons maintenance.

After repeated testing, the senior leaders have confirmed one fact: any weapon repaired by Jiang Nian can improve its performance by at least 30%, and some weapons can even achieve an astonishing improvement of 60%.

However, this situation has been kept secret. Apart from a very few core personnel, no one knows that the improvement in the performance of these weapons is related to Jiang Nian.

Based on this, Gao Shiwei and his team, after careful consideration, finally decided to consult with Jiang Nian. Their thinking was that since Jiang Nian had the ability to modify guns to make them more powerful, he should also be able to reduce their power. Ideally, he could even render the weapon completely unusable.

Jiang Nian never expected that he would be called back not to repair weapons, but to cause sabotage.

Gao Shiwei made his point very clearly.

Jiang Nian understood, of course. However, meeting Gao Shiwei's requirements didn't seem so simple.

Jiang Nian raised his hand and touched his chin, starting to seriously ponder: what method could be used to completely destroy the weapon's internal structure without revealing any flaws on the outside?

Jiang Nian himself has a skill boost, especially in the area of ​​gun repair. As long as he touches the gun a few times, its performance will automatically improve.

"System, is there any way to destroy the weapon?"

Jiang Nian had no choice but to seek help from the system.

He couldn't control the effects of the skill himself, so what he needed to do now was to have the system temporarily disable this ability.

Jiang Nian never expected that after all the hard work he put into learning these skills, he would now have to beg the system to turn them off.

It's incredibly frustrating no matter how you look at it. Usually, when the system issues tasks, it threatens to take back his skills. Now, in order to achieve his goal, he has to actively beg the system to take back his skills.

"Dear Host, given your recent satisfactory mission completion, an additional task has been temporarily added: If you can defeat three special forces squads within three days, you will receive a reward. The reward includes: dismantling weapons, damaging internal structures, and restoring basic skills!"

This time, the system didn't ignore it as usual; instead, it unexpectedly issued this task.

Putting aside the specific requirements of the task, the reward alone is practically tailor-made for Jiang Nian.

Did he have any other options? Absolutely not.

So here's the question: what's the deal with this mission to defeat three special forces squads?
Is he bored and looking for fights?
Jiang Nian felt that if he really dared to make a move, he would probably be sent to the hospital by He Chenguang and the others before he even had a chance to react.

Why don't we just talk to He Chenguang and his group and ask them to cooperate and lose to us?

Jiang Nian wondered if there was any shortcut to complete the task, but as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he dismissed it as an unreliable idea.

Unless He Chenguang and his team have lost their minds, how could they possibly agree to such an absurd request? Besides, the system isn't stupid; it would never let him get away with this.

"Comrade Jiang Nian, what's your decision? Can this be done?" Gao Shiwei saw that Jiang Nian hadn't spoken for a long time and was still thinking. He didn't want to disturb him, but after a while, Jiang Nian still hadn't responded, so Gao Shiwei couldn't help but ask directly.

"Ah, well... it's a bit difficult, but I can handle it. It's just not possible right now. The earliest I can do it is in three days."

Upon hearing Gao Shiwei's question, Jiang Nian snapped out of her reverie and replied in this way.

"It can only be done in three days?"

Jiang Nian spoke very clearly, but Gao Shiwei felt that he didn't quite understand.

"Well... it's nothing. By the way, boss, is the effect you want these weapons to look exactly the same as normal on the outside, but become a complete pile of junk when they're actually used?"

Seeing that Gao Shiwei was focusing on the time, Jiang Nian wanted to slap himself. Why did he blurt this out so quickly? He quickly changed the subject.

“That’s right, that’s exactly what I was thinking. Comrade Jiang Nian, since you can do this, do you think you could teach this technique to Gong Jian?”

Gao Shiwei's attention was successfully diverted, and they began to talk about serious matters.

"Teach it to Gong Jian? Leader, what do you mean by that? Am I not allowed to participate in this mission?"

Jiang Nian was filled with questions, completely unable to understand what Gao Shiwei meant.

“Comrade Jiang Nian, your status is different now. We can’t risk your safety. You don’t need to participate in this kind of mission anymore. So we can only trouble you to teach this technique to Gong Jian so that he can complete this mission.”

Seeing Jiang Nian's confusion, Gao Shiwei explained it to him earnestly.

Last time Jiang Nian went on a mission, it was because Fan Tianlei hadn't considered things thoroughly. Afterwards, Fan Tianlei was disciplined for this, and that was only because Jiang Nian was unharmed. If something had happened to Jiang Nian during that mission, Fan Tianlei's punishment would certainly have been much harsher.

Now that Gao Shiwei is sitting here, he would absolutely not agree to let Jiang Nian complete this task.

For them, the best solution is to find someone to learn Jiang Nian's techniques and then use them to carry out the mission.

"Boss, it's not that I'm hiding something from Gong Jian and unwilling to teach him. It's just that this technique can only be performed by myself. If someone else does it, it will definitely not achieve the effect I want, and it will be easy for the other party to discover the flaws."

Jiang Nian looked troubled. He wasn't deliberately going against Gao Shiwei, but the skills produced by the system could only be fully mastered by Jiang Nian himself; others could only learn a superficial understanding at most.

These fur-related techniques are fine for repairing ordinary equipment. But Gao Shiwei's requirements this time were different from usual, so even if Jiang Nian taught Gong Jian the techniques exactly as they were, Gong Jian still wouldn't be able to learn them.

This is inherently a limitation of the system's skills.

Gao Shiwei was stunned.

He had considered all sorts of possibilities, but he never expected that at this crucial moment, Jiang Nian would tell him that this technique could only be used by him and that no one else could learn it. If Jiang Nian hadn't looked so serious when he said this, Gao Shiwei would have suspected he was joking. Otherwise, how could such a thing possibly happen?
He stood up and paced back and forth behind his desk, looking very anxious.

What was originally a simple matter has now evolved into an extremely thorny problem.

Gao Shiwei didn't want to believe Jiang Nian's words, but he also knew that Jiang Nian was telling the truth. After all, many people were learning from Jiang Nian, and there was even a whole class in the repair company who were learning techniques from him.

However, after learning Jiang Nian's techniques, it is indeed only Jiang Nian who can improve the performance of weapons.

"Jiang Nian, think of another way, see if there's any way to teach Gong Jian this technique so he can destroy those weapons without leaving a trace?"

Gao Shiwei looked at Jiang Nian, his tone troubled but his eyes full of expectation.

"Sir, this is really impossible. If it's just about destroying these weapons, Gong Jian can handle it perfectly well, but to achieve the effect you want, sir, that's absolutely impossible."

Destroying weapons is something anyone can do, but making a weapon pass inspection without revealing any problems is completely impossible.

Gao Shiwei slumped back into his chair, rubbing his temples. All he wanted now was to be alone.

Gao Shiwei understood perfectly what Jiang Nian meant. It was precisely because he understood it so well that he felt even more troubled.

"Sir, I would like to participate in this mission."

Jiang Nian said to Gao Shiwei very seriously.

To meet Gao Shiwei's requirements, there was no choice but for Jiang Nian to personally intervene.

"No!" Upon hearing Jiang Nian's words, Gao Shiwei almost instinctively refused.

Others may not realize how important Jiang Nian is to China, but Gao Shiwei knows it perfectly well.

Jiang Nian's personal safety is already of paramount importance, given the several major top-secret research and development projects he is currently involved in.

Anyone can take risks, and Gao Shiwei himself can even step in if necessary, but Jiang Nian is the only one who absolutely cannot take risks.

Faced with Gao Shiwei's firm refusal, Jiang Nian didn't say anything more, but just sat there quietly, staring straight at Gao Shiwei.

Gao Shiwei felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at like that by Jiang Nian.

“Jiang Nian, I can’t risk your safety. Think of another way to teach this technology to Gong Jian, and then let the Red Cell Team complete this mission.”

Gao Shiwei knew that Jiang Nian had a good relationship with the Red Cell Squad, and that Jiang Nian would definitely find a way to help them with the mission.

“Sir, this task can only be completed by me personally. No one else could possibly meet your requirements. Of course, if you change your mind and only want to destroy those weapons, then someone else could do it. However, in that case, the mission would fail. Because the destroyed weapons would definitely be detected by the Japanese, and their deal with Wang Ba would not be able to proceed smoothly.”

Jiang Nian shook his head.

It's not a question of who to send; the key issue is that no one else can perfectly meet Gao Shiwei's requirements.

The people of Sakura Country aren't fools. Even if they're trading with Wang Ba, they'll definitely inspect these weapons. Damaged weapons will leave traces, making them easy to spot.

This was also the main reason why Jiang Nian thought this task would be difficult to complete.

If it weren't for the system suddenly popping up a task and that reward that was just right for this situation, Jiang Nian wouldn't have dared to make such a sure thing.

After all, this is no joke.

Even if Gao Shiwei sent someone else to complete this mission, each gun has a different design. Right now, all they know is the time and place of the transaction between Sakura Country and Wang Ba. Nobody knows what weapons were actually being traded.

If the people going to carry out the mission are not even slightly familiar with these weapons, something will definitely go wrong, and that would be the real failure.

It would have been better if Jiang Nian hadn't explained; the explanation only made Gao Shiwei's head ache even more.

He had certainly considered these issues, but Gao Shiwei was genuinely hesitant to send Jiang Nian to participate in this mission.

At this moment, Gao Shiwei was completely caught in a dilemma.

He even began to consider how much he would lose if he abandoned the mission.

"Boss, please don't hesitate. Only I can complete this mission with 100% certainty, and there will be absolutely no accidents. I've been on several missions with the Red Cell team, so I'm capable of protecting myself. I promise I will pay attention to safety and will not allow anything to happen to me."

Jiang Nian tried her best to persuade Gao Shiwei, her face full of determination.

If there were any other possibilities for this task, Jiang Nian might have chosen to compromise, after all, he couldn't let his superiors worry. But now, there was only this one path before him, and this opportunity was once in a lifetime; he absolutely couldn't give it up, so he had to complete this task.

Gao Shiwei did not rush to respond after listening.

What Jiang Nian said was not without reason.

But—"Jiang Nian, you need to understand one thing: your safety is always the top priority!"

What is Jiang Nian's current identity? He is a trump card secretly hidden by China. As long as he is alive, the development process of other weapons can be advanced significantly. Therefore, no matter what happens, Jiang Nian's safety must be the top priority.

"Boss, I'm capable of protecting myself. Didn't I fight Lei Zhan's gang in place of Er Niu before? And I won!"

Jiang Nian's main point was that even if he were assigned bodyguards, those people would probably be no match for him in terms of strength. If they were really in danger, he might have to spare some of his time to save others!
Gao Shiwei recalled that competition. He had even gone to watch it, and afterwards he was amazed that Jiang Nian, who had never experienced special forces training, could actually defeat Lei Zhan and his elite group of elites.

At that time, he could never have imagined that Jiang Nian's identity would change so quickly.

However, following this line of thought, what Jiang Nian said wasn't entirely unreasonable. His own strength was undeniable, absolutely top-tier, so self-preservation certainly wouldn't be a problem.

Fan Tianlei had mentioned the several operations Jiang Nian had participated in to him. In the first few operations, Fan Tianlei was in charge of command, but later on, Jiang Nian was basically responsible for coordinating and assigning tasks himself. (End of Chapter)
