50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 783 Urgent Mission

Sun Zhiwei didn't care at all. Was he someone who needed credit? If it weren't for Xu Yimin, he wouldn't have sent the car back.

He was very displeased that some people were already showing signs of sycophancy.

However, he wasn't too angry. This phenomenon wasn't accidental; it was actually an inevitable part of the development process.

When a person moves from a backward country to an advanced and developed country, the sense of disparity is inevitable.

At this point, several changes will occur. Some people will see the gap between the two sides, but firmly believe that they can catch up, and therefore strive even harder.

Some people see the gap, feel that the gap is too big and there is no hope of catching up. In their mental collapse, they turn around and start praising the other party.

They would also find reasonable excuses for themselves: "It's not that I don't work hard, it's just that the enemy is too strong. If I can't beat them, I'll join them."

Both attitudes are justifiable and are determined by individual character. As the motherland becomes stronger, their self-confidence will eventually be rebuilt.

What's most hateful are some traitors and public intellectuals; their destructive power is even greater than that of knives and guns.

However, he had already submitted these intelligence reports, similar to "Operation Robin," and the leaders would naturally handle them.

The two exchanged ideas about the Chinese Academy of Sciences for a while before it was lunchtime. Xu Yimin went with him to the second floor of the guesthouse for lunch.

This afternoon, he planned to listen to Xu Yimin and go out for a walk. Then he would plan how to get an S-27 from the Russians.

He had already located the S-27 production plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in the Far East.

Considering that even Russian pilots had started looting, he felt that he didn't need to rob them directly this time. He could simply buy from manufacturers or the Russian Air Force privately, and all he would have to pay was some supplies and money.

In the Far East, a region where the emperor is far away and the central government is far away, local officials wield terrifying power and are far more audacious than you might imagine.

According to publicly available information, in the 90s, local officials in Russia were willing to sell even mushroom bombs as long as they could make money.

As for operations like Lao Mou exchanging small commodities for airplanes, that's completely out of the question.

But the truth is that this practice was already widespread in Russia 10 years ago.

It's just that their main trading partners now are not our country, but Western countries.

Because at that time, our family couldn't afford the price, but countries like America had plenty of money. As long as they were willing to sell, the CIA would naturally receive congressional funding to purchase all sorts of things from Russia.

Sun Zhiwei currently has an America Merchant skin, so he can go and get some equipment without any technical obstacles.

But that's a story for another time. In the afternoon, while he was out strolling the streets and sampling various delicacies as ordered, a military jeep pulled up beside him.

Xu Yimin's secretary quickly got out of the car and ran to his side. Then, in an anxious voice, he whispered in his ear, "Leader Sun, Leader Xu is looking for you. It's an urgent mission. I've been ordered to come and pick you up."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhiwei's expression turned serious. He put down the food in his hand, placed a large black ten under the plate, and then got into the jeep with his secretary.

The car sped back to the diplomatic building, where Xu Yimin was already waiting in his office.

Upon seeing him approach, Xu Yimin immediately handed him a manila envelope marked "Confidential." He opened it to find a stack of documents inside; the first was a mission statement. The mission required him to assist in the evacuation of overseas Chinese from the South Gate on the Red Sea coast.

Sun Zhiwei knew from the mission requirements that he needed to deploy the two frigates that were training and restoring their combat capabilities on Subi Island.

Sun Zhiwei knows the current situation of the navy's ships better than anyone else. With the cooperation of land forces, air force, and missiles, they are capable of protecting the security of the near seas. As for venturing into the blue ocean, they do not yet have that capability.

The two frigates under Sun Zhiwei's command are the only two warships in the family that can be used for long-distance voyages, so he has to go this time.

"Zhiwei, the situation is extremely urgent. The South Gate area has been in complete chaos in just a few days, and now only one port is still open to traffic."

"How's it going on your end? Are the two frigates from Subi Island ready to be deployed?"

Xu Yimin knew about the situation on Subi Island. When he last reported, the two warships were barely able to start, but because there were too few crew members, they couldn't even take turns resting.

During this period, another batch of personnel had been sent over, but the specific situation had not yet been reported. He needed to ask Sun Zhiwei how well the warship's combat effectiveness had been restored.

"Sir, there's no problem with deploying them. The crew on the frigates has been replenished and they are undergoing adaptive training. Although they are not yet proficient in naval warfare, they can still go over and intimidate people without any problem."

As for the safety of Subi Island itself, not to mention the thousands of soldiers on board, there are also two submarines and dozens of speedboats on the island, so there is no need to worry at all.

However, matters concerning submarines, especially the H submarine, remain classified. He tacitly avoids mentioning them unless asked by his superiors.

Even without these backup plans, there's nothing to say. If the country needs it, the entire Subi Island can be filled, let alone two frigates.

He had already remembered the evacuation operation.

In the original history, our family also sent ships to evacuate our citizens, but because there were no warships that could go, our family could only temporarily dispatch a few merchant ships that were nearby.

However, without warships to escort them, the merchant ships used for evacuation could not even get close to the port of Nanmen and could only stop in Djibouti on the other side of the Red Sea.

Later, we had to ask other countries for help to transfer more than 800 of our staff from the South Gate, which finally completed the evacuation operation.

If we didn't have warships, there would be nothing we could do, but now that we have our own warships, we should naturally deploy them.

"Sir, this mission is urgent, so I won't waste any more time. Please contact the Air Force immediately and send a two-seater fighter jet to take me to Shenhe."

It takes two or three hours for a transport plane to travel from Beijing to Shenzhen, but only one hour for a fighter jet. Every little bit of time saved counts.

"My private jet is on standby on Hong Kong Island. To avoid any accidents, I will personally go there by boat this time."

"Okay, go straight to the airport now, I'll make the arrangements right away."

Normally, the process of deploying fighter jets would be a headache for Xu Yimin, but now, everything had to be given the green light for the mission. Xu Yimin made a phone call directly to the Air Force, and the airport was quickly ready.

Xu Yimin's car took Sun Zhiwei directly to the airport runway, where a new fighter jet was parked, its engines already running, ready to take off at any moment.
