50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 234 Finally, there's another staff position!

This time, Xu Yimin merely frowned, but did not question the data he presented.
After all, there is Annan's report and the photos taken. Although we haven't seen them yet, Sun Zhiwei couldn't possibly lie about them.

That's why he was even more worried. The number of weapons and equipment had far exceeded domestic expectations, and many of the original plans would have to be reconsidered.

Two days later, all the hundreds of photos were developed, and Sun Zhiwei's action report was also completed. Both were submitted together.

When the higher-ups received the report, they were in a meeting discussing the issue of 'special forces,' and the argument was quite heated, making things rather unpleasant.

The leader's health was already very poor, and he was powerless to stop it.

Just then, the report and photos were handed over. The leader looked at them but didn't say anything. Instead, he distributed the report and photos to everyone in the meeting room.

After everyone had taken turns reviewing the report, all the arguments stopped, but the military leaders still clung to the photos of various weapons and equipment.

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, the leader began to speak: "There's no need to discuss this anymore. We've never obtained such detailed foreign intelligence before, which is enough to demonstrate the importance of special operations."

"But he's just a secret agent. Secret agents are different from special forces." Some people were still unwilling to accept this and wanted to struggle a bit more.

"I know they are different. One tends to gather intelligence, while the other tends to be a spearhead force, but their nature is similar. They both go deep behind enemy lines, and much of their training is also similar."

"According to Comrade Sun Zhiwei's report, his training program was not yet completed, but he had already achieved two major victories in a row."

"This is a demonstration of our resolve. If the soldiers below have confidence, what reason do we have to back down?"

"I suggest we set up this unit and start voting."

"I agree." "Yes." "I agree." "Agreed."
"Okay, unanimously approved. Next item: the issue of command."

"This unit is too powerful, and the organization must be kept under control. I suggest that it be directly commanded by the highest level. Does anyone object?"

"Since no one objects, then it's settled."

"Comrades, as you can see from the report just now, time is running out."

"Although the enemy has not yet formed a combat capability, their ambitions have been exposed, and we need to speed up our actions."

Most of the power struggles at the top happen beforehand, especially among the older generation of leaders. Their confidence, forged during the war years, means they have no shortage of action once they make up their minds.

While Sun Zhiwei was still on vacation at home, orders were being sent from Beijing to various places, and the first round of special forces selection had begun.

Meanwhile, the selection order was also sent to a secret base on the outskirts of Beijing.

The soldiers here are all elites from various units, so they would never miss such a selection opportunity and would all strive to be the first to participate.

Among them, Jiang Xinrong was the most active. As one of the insiders, although he could not speak out due to confidentiality regulations, his actions were not affected.

As soon as the order came through, he knew what it was about and was the first to sign up.

None of the other soldiers were fools. They could tell from Jiang Xinrong's expression that there was more to the story. At this point, they didn't need to think about anything; they just had to follow along.

The nationwide selection process is underway, and Sun Zhiwei has also received a notification that the departmental rotation has officially ended. He has been assigned to the Operations Section of the Intelligence Division as the deputy section chief.

This deputy section chief position is not a section-level position, but a division-level position, which corresponds to his current administrative rank.

After working as a temporary worker for a year, Comrade Sun Zhiwei finally got a permanent position and became a member of the system again (applause).

At the same time he officially took office, a new department, the Training Department, was established and placed directly under his name. He immediately realized what was going on and rushed to the director's office to inquire about the situation.

"Boss, has it been approved from above?"

"Hehe, that's right, it was approved yesterday, so we can start training our special agents now."

Will other units cooperate with our personnel training?

"Of course, this has already been documented. From now on, each branch of the military will have a dedicated department responsible for the training of the two 'Special Branches'."

"What? You want to go?" Xu Yimin looked at Sun Zhiwei with a half-smile.

"Director, I've thought about it, and it would be best if someone went through the training here first, so that any problems can be found and corrected in advance."

"I suggest that I go to each of the departments first," Sun Zhiwei said with a righteous expression, spouting official platitudes.

"Alright, then I'll send you to try out different units. Which one do you plan to go to first?"

"Well, my father-in-law is in Qingdao, so I'll go there for training and visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law while I'm at it. It'll be convenient for both business and personal reasons."

"You're quite open about it, even using both public and private matters. Alright, let's start our trip with Qingdao."

"You better remember this: make sure you pave the way clearly, consider all the issues thoroughly, and make sure all the procedures are followed."

"In the future, when our people go there for training, we can follow the procedures and don't have to start from scratch."

"Understood, I will definitely take care of the training when I get there."

"Okay, then go back and prepare, and come back first thing tomorrow morning to pick up the paperwork."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhiwei happily went back to make preparations. Actually, there wasn't much to prepare; he had more than one set of daily necessities stored in his space, which he could take as needed.

However, he needed to go back and tell Tong Jiajia.

Tong Jiajia hadn't been to Qingdao for many years, and this time when he went, he would definitely bring gifts for his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

It's already the end of the year, so this is like sending New Year's gifts in advance.

Sun Zhiwei rode his bicycle out of the office building, turned right onto Chaoyangmen Inner Street, and headed north along Dongsi North Street. Soon he arrived at Di'anmen East Street.

After turning left and heading west, the 5-mile distance would normally take a normal person about 10 minutes by bike, but Sun Zhiwei was even faster, reaching his destination in 5 minutes and arriving at the entrance of Beihai Kindergarten.

The guard at the gate saw him and immediately saluted and said, "Good morning, Director."

Sun Zhiwei handed his bicycle to them to park, saying, "Hello, hello, please watch my bike for me, I'll be right out." Then he ran into the kindergarten.

Since classes were in session, he couldn't disturb the children, so he went to sit with the old principal first.

When he arrived at the office, he saw that the door to the principal's office was ajar, so he gently knocked on the door and then peeked inside.

Director Wang was reviewing documents when she saw half of his head and knew who it was. So she snapped at him impatiently, "What are you peeking for? If you're not coming in, get out!"

Sun Zhiwei has such a thick skin now. He didn't care at all when the old director scolded him, and he still pushed the door open with a grin.
