CHAPTER XLIV
Like all confident people, ACE likes to go it alone.
It's not shallowness, and all of them were trained for that reason.
Everything must have a plan, and once the plan is made, it must be carried out to the letter, even if he is pulled on an impromptu mission with an unfamiliar person and unit, as long as there is a detailed plan, he should and must be able to fully integrate into the next operation. Like the purpose of the training, this is how ACE's prestige in Unit 128 was earned. "A reliable warrior who can be relied upon at all times". What kind of fighter can be more respectable than a reliable one?
But even ACE himself was surprised that he never had the chance to go it alone. When the veterans died scattered, he knew that the reason why he was able to survive was that those veterans left him with their experience and skills, so he wanted to find an opportunity to show these experiences and skills.
He was very excited when he went out on his first mission, and he was always worried about whether he would mess up, because what followed was a real battle, and the real enemy on the opposite side, when meeting these people in a narrow way, there was no mercy, no chance to make mistakes, maybe you only have "time for a bullet", and "time for a bullet" is no time. At that time, there was a veteran named Da Zhang in the team who comforted him like this, "Don't worry about you messing up, boy. You're like a dish in the kitchen, it's ready, but it's not ready yet, and when you're out of the pot, whether it's delicious or not, you're already a dish, so don't worry about messing up. ”
ACE asked him what he thought was screwed up and patted him on the shoulder.
"When a dish is brought to the table, it's called messing up."
It was during that mission that Dazhang "screwed up", but ACE's respect for him did not change. In their tasks, many times "messing up" is inevitable, and success is unexpected. They protect the wreckage of satellites in the ice and snow, snatch core secrets in the stormy 'waves', escort sensitive materials in the sands of the Gobi, and the environment they are in can kill them, but they must overcome all these difficulties to complete the instructions, and sometimes they don't even know which one is more difficult: to complete the instructions or to come back alive.
Compared to those missions, the environment is much happier now, and if ACE wants to, he can put on a pair of denim 'pants' with 'holes' and slippers, cover a pistol with a silencer with a newspaper, walk into the target room like in the movie, and shoot a bow left and right at the people in the room, beating them to the point of 'peeing'. It's sad that most of the time they can do this, but they have never tried such a dashing way, because bullets don't joke, even if the target is unarmed, they will arm themselves to the teeth, and then rush in to rain bullets, only the dead are completely harmless.
Despite being in the city and with many restrictions on movement, this is still a long-awaited opportunity for ACE. An Nianrong's order can be understood as only for him, or it can be understood as for him and Ma Xibei, but ACE believes that Ma Xixi is not suitable for combat operations in the city, because his image and demeanor are very poor, and he is not a good kind at first glance, how can he be as approachable as himself, it is likely to have an impact on the operation, and the new command center needs him to cooperate with the technical director Wu Xian to improve the defense mechanism, Ma Xixi has to fight against the ubiquitous cameras and sensors every day, So there should be no time to participate in this operation.
Besides, such a small thing still needs the two of them to go out at the same time?
The Japanese have several intelligence organizations in Hong Kong, and ACE hopes that he can clean them up one by one, but the intelligence officer of the Fourth Directorate of the Ministry of Security tells him that the Japanese are very vigilant, and if he can't clean up these places at the same time, then the others will disappear as soon as they get the news, and the best thing to do is to deal with only the biggest.
ACE looked at him strangely. "Who said they were going to deal with them?"
"I only give professional advice." The officer looked at ACE with a grin. "We all know what's going on in Hong Kong, and we've been waiting for when you'll react, so the intelligence has been ready for a long time."
"I'll just act like you've never said that." ACE LAUGHED. "It's better if you don't say it yourself."
"I've never seen you, let alone said anything." This official is clever and talkative. "I think the Japanese made a big mistake this time, you know, the premise of our mutual respect is not to mess around on each other's turf, but if they do that, then we have to teach them a lesson."
ACE looked at him with interest. "Then why didn't the Ministry of Security teach them a lesson?"
"There is no reason for that." The officer shrugged his shoulders. "Theoretically, the Japanese didn't attack us, because Director An didn't exist in the official documents, so this matter was eventually treated as a criminal case. I have heard that the secret envoys of China and Japan have even contacted each other about this matter, but in the end nothing has come of it. ”
ACE owes *** in the chair. "I said, can you just put the papers here and find a place to have a drink by yourself? You don't give me much time, and there's so much to study. ”
"In principle, I'm going to be there when you look at these documents." The officer smiled.
"Then why don't you get me some copies or just give me the electronic documents?" ACE rummaged through the document in front of him. "I can't guarantee that I won't mess them up when I watch them."
"Electronic documents are only for record-keeping purposes and are not issued to anyone, and there are rules on the number of copies of these documents, and no photocopying is allowed." The official was still grinning. "Do you know where the toilet is?"
Two hours later, ACE finished copying all the documents he needed, and was cleaning the memory of the photocopier, when the official came back from the "toilet", he did not ask ACE any questions, just sorted out all the documents and took them away, and when he left the "door", he was full of praise for the new command center. During the two-hour internal observation of the new command center, it is difficult to say who has the advantage between the Ministry of Security and An Nianrong.
However, Wu Xian believes that they can't see anything new just by observing it like this. The new command center used to be Zhong Qianmo's idea, and the army engineers have been preparing it on paper for ten years, considering the reliability of the operation of the entire center, and will not use any avant-garde technology in the system, but a full integration of existing mature technology, so there is nothing special about it from the outside that will arouse the interest of connoisseurs.
"Sounds like you're an expert, Old Wu." ACE pressed Wu Xian's shoulder and asked him to sit in his chair. "I don't understand anything about what you're talking about, but it sounds appealing, so why don't you take a look at these blueprints and give me some pointers?"
"It looks like it's all civilian facilities, what guidance do you need?" Wu Xian narrowed his eyes and looked at the blueprints carefully. "Although I am not a student of architecture, this kind of civil architecture is not too difficult for me, and if you want to blow it up, I will only need a few hours to point out its weaknesses."
"It's not hard for me to blow it up." ACE grabbed his shoulder hard. "I'm only interested in one of the floors, one of them, to be exact."
"That would blow it up very easily, too." Wu Xian looked at ACE expectantly. "Give me some time, and I'll give you a surgically accurate blasting method that can destroy only this room and not affect the rest of it."
", why are you intellectuals so violent, I just want you to give me some advice." ACE looked at the normally polite tech director in surprise. "No wonder people say you people are perverts."
"We're always designing something, but we never see the use of those designs, so, uh, you know, you know, right?" Wu Xian's face was red, and he was a little embarrassed and incoherent. "Maybe you can satisfy our curiosity."
"Do you think that this coarse of mine will satisfy the *** psychology of you little perverts?" ACE grabbed him the shoulder, causing Wu Xian to grin in pain. "Tell me quickly, what will you do if you pervert is going to hide some secrets here?"
Wu Xian put on his glasses and 'rubbed' the painful part of the ACE while pointing with his fingers.
"It's an office building, you know, this kind of commercial building has to be kept to a reasonable level, so it's the least safe, and basically it doesn't have any shelter other than a rigid 'sex' structure, and it's easy to get into any space here, unless you want to not alarm anyone. It won't be difficult, so if I'm a pervert, I'm not going to hide anything of value here. ”
"What if you're a pervert and stupid?" ACE SAT DOWN BESIDE HIM.
Wu Xian thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"If I were a stupid pervert, I'd make a safe-like room here, the kind where it's hard to get in and out, and monitor everything around the room. The hardest part is having a backup energy source. If they can do that, it's a little bit more difficult for the entrants. Do you know what's there? ”
ACE looked at Wu Xian thoughtfully.
"I don't know exactly what's there, I want to know what to look for, so I'm asking you to give me advice."
Wu Xian grinned slowly, and his eyes were shining.
"I like this part, how much time do you have for me?"
"Isn't two hours too much for you, Einstein?" ACE LOOKED AT HIS WATCH. "I'm leaving the command center in two hours."
Wu Xian left ACE's room with the blueprint.
There would be up to eight people in that room, and they all had weapons, realizing that his current identity was more of a killer, with the only difference being that he wasn't paid. However, if it was just for payment, ACE would not kill people.
ACE went to the *** library in the basement to sort out his backpack.
The 'hairy' donkey has made it his new home, and he is now sorting out his inventory to replenish the wear and tear of various weapons in battle, but this time they will have to "stock" it themselves. Looking at the appearance of the 'hairy' little donkey, he already regarded himself as a *** businessman, although he didn't know what a *** merchant looked like at all.
"When will Ro'Gate come back?" The 'hairy' donkey asked ACE hopefully. "When this list is opened, only he will be able to get the above things."
"I don't know what happened to him." ACE TOOK AN MP5 SUBMACHINE GUN FROM THE CABINET WITH HIS NAME WRITTEN ON IT AND PUT IT IN HIS BACKPACK, THEN LOOKED AT THE 'HAIRY' LITTLE DONKEY. "Don't worry about him, Luo 'Men' can solve all the problems by himself."
The 'hairy' donkey, hunched on the workbench, shrugged his shoulders and watched as ACE examined his firearm.
"I thought you'd use your AK74U, don't you like powerful things?"
"They have a difference." ACE raised the magazine in his hand. "And that's enough."
The people of Unit 128 have such a backpack, which is completely designed by themselves according to their usage habits, and then specially found someone to process it, and its purpose is to facilitate infiltration operations in plain clothes. Despite the fact that there are so many good things to choose from, most people prefer to make their own backpack with a strong personal style, and some even stick their own call sign on the backpack in spite of the rules, and such idiots will have to rework their backpack in addition to being reprimanded.
ACE's backpack has three layers. The outermost layer is used for all kinds of tools and miscellaneous items, and the middle layer can hold a standard MP5 submachine gun and his 1911 pistol, and of course he can also put an Mk18 carbine in his bag like Rommon did, but in that case he would have to disassemble the upper and lower receivers of the carbine, so ACE would rather put an MP5. Unlike regular backpacks, this backpack has a design that allows you to remove weapons from the lower and side parts of the backpack without having to adjust the position of the backpack.
The innermost layer is used to carry ***, and the layer attached to the body is made of bulletproof materials. This layer can be used to hold submachine gun magazines, which can also be removed from both sides of the backpack. Ten magazines were not cumbersome and necessary for the ACE, and at the very bottom of the level he could hold a few stun grenades and smoke grenades. This time the grenades were not suitable for use in confined spaces, so ACE regretfully left them in the basement vault.
