50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 421 Target: The Russian Bear
The tunnel in the basement of the new house connects to the basement of the old house at 206 81st Street, 300 meters away.

He used to spend very little time in New York, so he didn't build any safety exits. Now that New York has more and more industries, it's time to build these escape routes.

He had already scouted out the location of the escape route exit, which was inside Central Park.

There are a few houses not far from the open space where the community payty was held last time; those are the park management office's houses.

Those buildings are used to store various tools for the management office, such as lawnmowers. They are used about once or twice a month, and no one goes there normally.

He built the tunnel exit in one of the tool sheds, and the exit was made using the same exquisite carving technique as before.

The gate is placed on the ground with no visible gaps. It is a large block of reinforced concrete weighing several tons and can only be opened using a space-saving design, so its security is beyond question.

It took Sun Zhiwei two days to complete the security measures in New York before returning to Washington.

After all, that was Old M's capital, where intelligence was more concentrated, and the embassy was also located there; it was a place he couldn't afford to abandon.

December arrived quickly, and just after Christmas, news that shocked the world came from the southern foothills of the Himalayas.

On December 27, a Russian commando team consisting of approximately 700 GRU special forces soldiers, KGB agents, and paratroopers raided Kabul, the capital of Country A, and captured the residence of Country A's leader, Amin.

The mansion was guarded by a force of more than 2,000 men. The Russian assault force killed Amin, the leader of country A, in just 45 minutes, with only 11 casualties.

It quickly achieved its predetermined operational objectives, kept troop casualties to a minimum, gained full control of the capital Kabul, and installed a puppet ruler.

This operation, codenamed "Operation Storm," was a classic example of modern special operations decapitation strikes. From any military perspective, this raid was textbook-perfect.

Upon receiving the news, Sun Zhiwei was very interested in this case and believed that it was also of great interest to people in China. However, to know the details of this operation, he would need to obtain their operation report.

It's time to go. Sun Zhiwei happens to be very interested in that great country.

This is the height of Russia's power, a time of great prosperity and celebration. If you miss it, you'll never see it again.

His impression of the Russian bear at this time had always come from news reports, various written data, and allusions in movies and TV dramas.

This kind of secondhand content has definitely been edited and contains personal opinions. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you know what its true nature is.

However, given his current importance, it would be extremely dangerous for him to cross borders and venture into the heart of Russia to gather intelligence.

Therefore, he had to submit a report and apply, and he needed approval from above.

However, this reason alone is certainly not enough, given only for a special forces operations report.

After thinking about it for a few days, he came up with a reason.

This also relates to the list he sent back to China last time.

When he sent the list back, Lao Han, who received it first, was shocked. He even disregarded the risk of exposure and personally called Sun Zhiwei to confirm the accuracy of the information.

This matter is extremely serious, because the list includes several people he has known for decades. If a blunder occurs, it could really kill people.

After receiving Sun Zhiwei's affirmative answer, the list was sent back to China. What followed was a secret operation, and they did not receive any information about the specific results.

However, this incident not only shocked the domestic community but also the CIA and KGB. The CIA, in particular, was greatly affected, as the list was leaked from their side, resulting in a devastating loss of their informants, almost to the point of complete annihilation.

Although there are still informants from other intelligence agencies such as the National Security Agency (NSA), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and the State Department's Intelligence Research and Development Division (BIR) who have not yet been exposed, they have all raised their vigilance to a high level.

If we're talking about which countries have the most internal traitors in our country, it's undoubtedly the US, S, and R. Now that the US's internal traitors have suffered heavy losses, what about the others?
Therefore, Sun Zhiwei used this as an excuse to apply to go to the north to see if he could get the list of the Russian bears.

It's better not to know this, because once you do, how can you not worry?

After Sun Zhiwei's application was submitted, it was carefully reviewed by the higher authorities, who ultimately approved it.

Although that place is a den of dragons and tigers, given Sun Zhiwei's illustrious track record, there is still a high probability that he will complete the mission.

In early January, the domestic task was released, which was exactly what he had applied for, but there was no time limit for completing the task.

This shows that the domestic authorities had anticipated the difficulty of this mission.

For this reason, people in China are quite worried about his safety, so they didn't even dare to write down the mission time, for fear that he would make mistakes in order to rush the time and end up trapped in the north.

Since there was no rush, he wasn't in a hurry either. He could take care of things in America first before setting off.

After all, the battle of "Operation Storm" has only lasted a few days, and the combat mission has just been completed. It is estimated that the people have not all returned yet.

As for the action report, he estimated it was still nowhere in sight; at most, there would be a briefing for their superiors.

Everyone knows what a mission briefing is; it usually just covers the cause and effect, without going into detail about the process. But what Sun Zhiwei wanted to see were the details.

Therefore, he can only wait for a while, and he believes that they will definitely submit an action report for such a major mission.

However, the thought of the rough and tough style of the Russian army made him a little worried.

This operation is so important, surely they won't skip writing a report?

Hopefully not.

The day after receiving the mission notification, Sun Zhiwei began his industrial inspection in 1980.

Actually, this is one reason. He's going to be gone for quite a while, and he'll lose contact with us halfway through. He definitely needs to come up with a good reason beforehand.

From Washington to New York, and then from New York to San Francisco and Los Angeles.

He inspected the farms, shops, jewelry stores, and gold mines along the way, and found that all the industries in the United States were on track and there were no problems.

After departing from Los Angeles, he set his next destination as the Northern Mariana Islands in the western Pacific Ocean, where there is a small island that he owns.

He had initially agreed to borrow two small islands under his name from the government. However, he hadn't received any further communication from above since then, which puzzled him.

It had been several years since he took over those two small islands, and it would be strange if he hadn't visited them even once. So, he decided to go under the guise of inspecting the properties to see the islands in person.
