50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 389 The End
As Sun Zhiwei drove his truck north, he witnessed not only the demolition of houses but also the dismantling and relocation of industrial equipment.

In addition, there were specific orders to dismantle the infrastructure in the occupied areas. This included railway facilities and power generation equipment.

Back then, we built a railway network of hundreds of kilometers in the northern region, but Annam's complex terrain made the task of the railway troops no less difficult than that of war.

Railways not only contribute to regional economic development, but also provide a rapid route for Annam to harass my country and supply it with logistical support. Dismantling the railways is imperative.

The soldiers first cut all the railway sleepers, and then dismantled the rails.

Most of the dismantled steel was brought back to China, while the steel that was difficult to transport back was destroyed on-site.

Besides the railway, all local factories, bridges, hydroelectric power stations, and other structures are slated for demolition.

Northern Annam was originally their main industrial area, and most of the equipment and factories there were built with our assistance.

Now that they're acting like ingrates, we naturally won't be polite anymore.

Withdraw aid directly, interrupt their industrialization process, and regress their industrial capacity to that of twenty years ago.

They're relying on the backing of Russia, aren't they? They want to be the boss of Asia, aren't they? Then let them go ask Russia for aid.

In addition to industrial equipment, all the reserve materials in Annam's warehouses must also be retrieved, most of which were the supplies we provided to Annam back then.

Everything that could be transported was taken away with the trucks; everything that couldn't be transported was destroyed on the spot. It couldn't be left to aid the enemy.

It contained not only a large amount of military supplies such as firearms, artillery, bullets, and shells, but also a lot of daily necessities such as oil, rice, flour, bicycles, and medicine.

I've heard that Annam is now so wealthy that they're using bags of rice and flour that we've provided to build trenches.

We can't let them continue to waste the good food that we ourselves are reluctant to eat.

In Sun Zhiwei's words, "What you took from me, you have to spit out; what you took from me, you have to return."

Thus, from the moment he entered LS City, Sun Zhiwei saw a continuous stream of transport convoys coming from China.

Then these trucks were loaded with supplies and headed back, and Sun Zhiwei happened to be on the way home with them.

After he followed the convoy to a temporary distribution center for supplies in China, he turned and headed towards Huacheng.

The items on the vehicle couldn't be left at the front line, as they weren't needed there. He wanted to take them back to verify his achievements; they were proof that he had destroyed 1009 fighter jets.

There are still over 1000 timed grenades left.

Although they can't be adjusted at will, which is a bit of a gimmick, they're still usable as long as there's no better equipment available.

By the way, the US already had mature C4 manufacturing technology during the Vietnam War, but it seems that China doesn't have it yet.

Looks like I need to find some time to get the C4 formula back, so we'll have better bombs at home in the future.

Sun Zhiwei endured a bumpy ride for over ten hours before finally driving the truck to Huacheng.

After arriving in Huacheng, he drove his truck into a military camp on the outskirts for temporary storage before heading into the city alone to report for duty.

He dared not drive a truckload of bombs into the command post; he might get mobbed by the guards. Otherwise, he would become the biggest laughingstock of the century.

An hour later, in the forward command post office, Sun Zhiwei met the general again.

His contribution this time was so great that it can be said that he almost single-handedly paralyzed 9% of the strength of the entire Annamese Air Force.

Even the 12 field airfields destroyed by the Southern Sword were only identified thanks to the military maps he brought back. It's certain he'll receive a title, and a promotion is practically guaranteed—this is a genuine achievement.

"I heard you brought back those 1009 sets of aircraft parts?"

"Yes, that's a key piece of equipment on more than ten models."

"I was thinking that we're lacking everything at home right now, so I brought them back to let the scientists take a look. Maybe they can give us some inspiration. These two parts are quite expensive, it would be a shame to throw them away."

"Good, good. Hard work and thrift are things that should be encouraged. I'll contact them right away to receive the parts."

"Of course, the money for buying the parts can only be reimbursed in the domestic currency, as the country's foreign exchange reserves are still very tight."

"No, don't talk about money, it hurts feelings. I belong to the country, so consider this a donation from me. Only when the country is strong can we individuals live well."

"You're right, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. In short, the family won't forget."

Old revolutionaries are like that; they don't care much about personal gains or losses. As long as it benefits the country, they are willing to sacrifice their families for the nation, and that's not just talk.

Therefore, the general fully approved of Sun Zhiwei's actions.

"Also, sir, could I keep those unused time bombs? They might come in handy in future missions."

Although Xu Yimin applied for the supplies, once they were allocated to the front lines, they naturally came under the general's control.

Therefore, he needed the general's permission to keep those timed grenades.

When Sun Zhiwei mentioned timed grenades, the general finally remembered what they were.

He was in charge of inspecting that batch of miniature grenades, but the results were unsatisfactory, and now even the project team has been disbanded.

Those 2000 stockpile units were the only batch of samples produced initially; they were never really useful and were intended to be destroyed.

Unexpectedly, it played such a significant role in this operation behind enemy lines.

It's clear that there are no useless weapons; it's just a matter of finding the right way to use them.

"Okay, I agree, but those small grenades are the last batch. Once they're used up, there won't be any more. Don't ask me for them again."

"No, no, I still have more than 1000 left, that's enough for me."

Soon, he obtained the permit for that batch of timed grenades, and they were then put to Sun Zhiwei's use.

After saying goodbye to the general, he went directly to the military camp in the suburbs, where he stored the aircraft parts in the camp's warehouse and asked them to look after them for a while, waiting for the general to call someone to come and take them over.

He transported the remaining half-truckload of timed grenades out in his truck, then found a secluded spot and stored them all in his spatial storage.

He had considered keeping some for other agents, but these devices couldn't be timed; they were just makeshift additions, and giving them to others could easily cause problems.

Let's not harm our colleagues; let's just keep them all for his own use.

Since they're so small and don't take up much space, they can just be stored in a corner of the room. You never know when you might need them.

After collecting the grenades, his mission back home was considered complete.

There will be a protracted war in the southwest that will last for another ten years, but there is no need to worry too much about that, as the scale of the war will not be large.
