50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 441 A Short Rest

On the morning of April 2nd, Sun Zhiwei returned to Beijing.

He then tidied himself up in Xu Yimin's office, restoring his original appearance.

He then completed the writing of the situation report on the spot, which mainly consisted of his experiences from the time he got off the train until he returned to Beijing.

This must be made clear. If there is a period of being out of contact and it cannot be confirmed afterwards, it will cause a lot of trouble.

In those years, quite a few people were removed from their posts for these "unexplainable" reasons.

However, he doesn't need to worry too much this time.

After all, he handed over so much data and spoils of war. If any organization likes to use this method to place personnel, they'll be losing out big time.

After submitting the report, Sun Zhiwei asked Xu Yimin for a week's leave and went straight home.

After being driven to Wenjin Street by Xu Yimin's car, he went straight into his home and took out four sets of matryoshka dolls he had bought in Moscow in the hallway.

At this time of day, only Yang Guihua is cooking lunch at home.

Tong Jiajia usually doesn't come home at noon; she eats lunch directly in the kindergarten cafeteria.

But Sun Hongying and Sun Aiguo still wanted to eat at home, as the food in the university cafeteria was, to put it mildly, terrible.

To ensure they get enough nutrition, the two of them went home for meals every day, citing the need to save on food expenses.

Fortunately, both of their schools were nearby, otherwise this method would have been useless.

Sun Zhiwei made quite a commotion when he entered the room; Yang Guihua heard it even in the kitchen, so she quickly came out to check on him.

"Oh, boss, you're back."

"Yes, you're back. Xiao Yang, how has everything been at home while I was away?"

"What's wrong? Nothing's wrong, everything's fine at home."

"And what about you? Are Da Ya and Xiao Ya still left in the village?"

“Boss, Boss Tong did suggest that I bring the child over, but the cost is too high, I'm still considering it.”

"Then you should think about it yourself. Although Daya and Xiaoya are girls, they can take care of you in your old age when they grow up. Don't be misled by those outdated customs."

“If they can get an education, they will have a better life in the future. You don’t want them to continue farming in the countryside in the future, do you?”

After listening to Sun Zhiwei's words, Yang Guihua's confusion lessened considerably, but she still hadn't made up her mind.

Sun Zhiwei only gave a casual suggestion; whether to listen or not was up to the individual.

She is currently working as a nanny for Sun Zhiwei's family. With the economic liberalization soon, the treatment she receives from the Sun family will definitely increase, and she will have no problem supporting her two children's education on her own.

"Then please rest for a while, boss. I'll go to the kitchen to add some dishes. Hongying won't be home for a while."

"What about patriotism?"

"Aiguo has been busy with his studies lately, and he can only come home for one day on weekends these days."

"Okay, I understand. You can go ahead and get busy."

Counting the time, it has been more than two years since the college entrance examination was reinstated in 77, and the two children will soon be entering the internship stage.

They all took the college entrance examination after they had a job, and their internship period was when they returned to their original jobs.

However, compared to their original positions and benefits, things are definitely much better now, and their future prospects are much brighter. What he's more worried about is Sun Aiguo. Sooner or later, they'll be involved in the rotation of troops in Laoshan for the next ten years. Guns don't discriminate, and anything can happen on the front lines.

If anything unexpected happens in the future, Tong Jiajia will not forgive him, Hongying will not forgive him, and even he himself will not forgive himself.

He would rather make more contributions in other areas than send his son to be shelled. He wasn't great, and he didn't want to lie in bed late at night years later with regrets.

He knew he couldn't do what the man did: his eldest son fell on the front lines, and he sent his second son to the front lines.

The wreaths at the foot of the mountain are magnificent in the eyes of the nation, but cruel to their families.

Now that he has the means, he naturally won't let his son take any risks.

For the next two weeks, Sun Zhiwei rested well at home and also learned about the thoughts of his two children indirectly.

Sun Hongying was quite obedient; she did whatever her parents told her to do, unlike some of her classmates at school who didn't study properly and instead got involved in poetry clubs.

In Hongying's class, she was the youngest. Many of the others were graduates from previous years, and several of them brought their children to school.

She was also one of the least sociable students. Since her home was near the school, Hongying rarely ate at school and did not participate in extracurricular activities such as the poetry club. She focused all her attention on her studies.

This made Sun Zhiwei very satisfied.

However, things are not so easy with Sun Aiguo. Military academies often require students to live in a collective environment, so they have little time to go home and are less affected by external interference. He is now more like a pure soldier.

He didn't know where to begin intervening.

However, there is still time, so there is no rush. If it doesn't work this time, we can deal with it when we come back next time.

After a two-week break, Sun Zhiwei set off again before May Day. This time, he would pass through Tokyo and then transfer to New York.

Direct flights from China to M country won't be available until next year, so for now he has to transfer here.

However, it wasn't a waste of time; there was a place in Tokyo he planned to visit.

The Cabinet Research Office is an intelligence agency established in 52 under the direction of the United States. Currently, it is considered a subordinate intelligence agency of the CIA.

Its main task is to collect strategic intelligence from countries such as China and Russia, while coordinating intelligence resources from other intelligence agencies and conducting comprehensive analysis.

Its methods of obtaining intelligence include classified intelligence provided by the military, open-source intelligence such as publicly available publications and news reports, "special reports" submitted by personnel stationed abroad, mobilizing outbound tourists to collect designated information, and establishing special bonuses to incentivize scholars to provide research results, etc.

This includes intelligence gathering in various fields such as politics, economics, military, and technology. Although they are currently more dependent on the CIA, this has laid a solid foundation for independent operation in the future.

Most importantly, it inherited the intelligence data and undercover personnel from several major intelligence agencies during World War II.

For example, the former Special Higher Police, and the four major departments of plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, etc.

Sun Zhiwei's target is the Cabinet Research Office's data, especially the early data, in which every piece of the game is now hidden in various places.

If they are reactivated, it will cause particularly great losses to the country.

On the morning of April 18, Sun Zhiwei departed from Beijing and arrived at Tokyo Airport that same day.

Tokyo in 1980 was a city navigating between prosperity and challenges, with an unemployment rate as low as 4.9% and vibrant life thriving in its streets and alleys.

Land prices in Tokyo are skyrocketing, skyscrapers and high-rises are springing up in commercial districts, and the shopping streets are brightly lit at night, making it a city that never sleeps.

Because of the economic boom, countless farmers came to Tokyo to work, and the Tokyo Bay area is home to 40% of the country's population.
