50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 277 Fatal Order

Although he believed that the carefully selected and vetted personnel could maintain confidentiality, he knew that over time, there would inevitably be moments when things would become lax.

If the information is leaked, it will put the country in a very passive position.

Therefore, this dry dock can only serve as a temporary stop for the "Memphis" for now; we still need a permanent, concealed base.

He submitted his suggestion to Tong Guodong, and then, without waiting for the "Memphis" to return, he boarded the train back to Beijing.

He believed that, given the civil engineering capabilities of our country's engineering corps, it was only a matter of time before a concealed submarine base was built, provided that it was necessary.

When Sun Zhiwei stepped onto Beijing Railway Station again, it was already September. After more than three months apart, he missed his family very much.

However, there are rules for going out, and his first priority was still to go to the intelligence department to report on his work.

He wrote down the details of the mission in a report and handed it to Xu Yimin, after which he received a week's vacation.

Because the Memphis has not yet safely arrived at port, his mission settlement will take some time.

For the following week, Sun Zhiwei enjoyed a good time at home with his family.

After not seeing each other for several months, he discovered upon their reunion that his daughter loved him even more, and his wife loved him even more too.

My mischievous son has gone off to join the army, far away, and no longer bothering me. Life is now filled with happiness and joy.

Unfortunately, fate is unpredictable. On the 9th, the sky fell, and the whole world was plunged into grief.

Just as the somber atmosphere was beginning to dissipate, Xu Yimin called him to his office.

"Comrade Sun Zhiwei, I have an urgent task for you."

"Make sure to complete the mission."

"Sit down and take a look at this document." Xu Yimin handed a document to Sun Zhiwei.

It was a personal file containing the information of an outstanding pilot who had just finished his studies last year and returned to his post, while also being selected for the Air Force test flight regiment.

This is an ace pilot, highly skilled, and has never failed a mission.

But this guy actually took advantage of the chaos and escaped in a J7.

After seeing that Sun Zhiwei had finished reading the information, Xu Yimin continued to talk about the mission.

"After the incident, the leaders were furious. Just as they were preparing to deal with the incident urgently, something even more infuriating happened."

"That guy is actually going to be rewarded with 7000 taels of gold, and they're even going to hold a press conference."

"Isn't this adding fuel to the fire, a blatant provocation?"

"So, a kill order has been issued. I've taken on this mission for you. How about it? Is there any way to complete it?"

"Where is he now?" What's the point of asking? Just go for it! This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself.

"On an island, where else could it be? Someone will contact you once you get there."

"I understand. When is that press conference?"

"There are still 3 days left. It will be held at the Taoyuan Hotel. Many celebrities and reporters will be there. Do you want to make your move on the day of the press conference?"

"Yes, if we're going to make a scene, we need to make a big one, so that everyone knows about it, that we can maximize our deterrent effect."

"If you lose face, you have to regain it by doing something else."

Xu Yimin certainly wanted to make a big fuss, but he never thought he would take action on the day of the press conference. The security measures on that day would definitely be very strong.

"Zhiwei, make your decision after you get there and take a good look around. Although the leaders also want to save face, they would never risk their comrades' lives."

“I know, I’ll decide whether to take action based on the situation on the ground.” “Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. Traitors deserve to die, but the lives of our comrades are more precious. Killing traitors isn’t something that can be done immediately.”

"Let him have some peace and quiet for a few days before dealing with him."

Sun Zhiwei didn't dwell on this. Killing someone was easy, even at the press conference.

The key is to make others believe that it was our doing, so as to maximize the deterrent effect.

That would mean he would have to go to the scene and do things in front of celebrities and reporters, which would be very dangerous.

He had already figured out how to make his move, but he hadn't figured out how to escape.

This can only be confirmed after he goes to the Taoyuan Hotel site and surveys the terrain.

Three days is a tight schedule, and he needs to prepare some things.

"Sir, I need some equipment."

"Go to the logistics and equipment department. Take whatever you can find, as long as we have it."

"Then I won't be polite."

"Don't be so polite. You only have two hands, how many guns are you planning to carry?"

Sun Zhiwei smiled without saying a word, and Xu Yimin let him be. He simply made a call to the logistics department, granted him the access, and then told him to get lost.

Once he gained access, Sun Zhiwei immediately went to the logistics equipment depot to see if there were any suitable weapons and equipment.

In the past two years, with his guidance, the Equipment Department has invented some small-scale special agent equipment, and he plans to take a look at them.

An hour later, Sun Zhiwei returned home with a full load of goods.

That morning, he boarded a transport plane at a suburban military airport and flew to the Sandao military port in Ningde.

That evening, he took a speedboat from the naval port and sailed away from the port alone to begin his journey across the sea.

Crossing the sea from here is about 250 kilometers, and at speedboat speed, it takes about two and a half hours.

The first hour was very safe, as this area was mostly occupied by our routine patrols.

Once we cross the center line, we could encounter warships at any time.

Before coming, he inquired about the results of the troops' daily reconnaissance and had made a judgment on the warship's patrol route and time. As long as it passed between two patrols, there would be little danger.

In the past two years, there has been very little shelling. Only on odd-numbered days of each month are propaganda shells fired and leaflets scattered. Therefore, the atmosphere is not tense, and the intervals between warship patrols are also very long.

Sun Zhiwei timed it carefully and, taking advantage of the warship's distance, drove his speedboat straight to the mouth of the Tamsui River.

He knew that with the speed of his speedboat, it would definitely not escape radar detection.

However, it takes time from radar detection to mobilizing ships or aircraft to intercept him.

His plan was to use speed to overwhelm slowness, to charge directly and create a time difference, and to rush into the river mouth and enter the freshwater area before they could move out.

The speedboat sped across the sea at 50 knots, and just as he expected, he only saw the pursuing ships in the distance when he entered the mouth of the Tamsui River.

After he found a secluded spot in the freshwater area and went ashore, a plane flew overhead; it must have just taken off to look for him.

Unfortunately, he had already entered the city streets, and the speedboat on the riverbank had been stored in his spatial storage. They could only search for unknown targets in the vicinity in vain.

After Sun Zhiwei came up, he didn't dare to be arrogant. He secretly borrowed a few local clothes from a nearby house, put on some makeup, and then blended into the night market in Danshui District.
