Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Silence Before the Outbreak

After the "Vympel" suffered a heavy setback, "An Shuai", who was struggling to push forward reforms and had been suffering from kidney disease for a long time, summoned General Chebrikov and Major General Oginets in the Kremlin.

In November 1982, the former Chairman of the National Security Council, General Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov, succeeded Leonid Brezhnev as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Polar Bears. Because his military rank was equivalent to that of a military marshal, he was always honored as "An Shuai" within the KGB.

Seeing his old subordinates, the sick and weak "An Shuai" bluntly ordered his two capable subordinates to "forcefully remove the 'threat' of Peshawar and loosen the ties of the 40th Army as soon as possible." ”

After the discovery of several bugs in the Summer Palace restaurant, Molotov stepped up the security of the Summer Palace. With the KGB's jishu capabilities, all kinds of bugging devices were quickly cleaned up. The restaurant, in particular, has been renovated and a secure room with a high level of secrecy.

At this moment, Major General Oginets, who was entrusted with the "handsomeness", went to the superior room on the third floor to wash up briefly, and then hurriedly entered the conference room (dining room), wearing wide-rimmed glasses, like a university professor, elegantly holding a glass of vodka, staring at the military map on the long table in the middle of the dining chair, and listening to Colonel Molotov's report.

Colonel Molotov pointed to the Peshawar military map spread out on the dining table and reported, "The M people and the British have been kicked out of Peshawar by us, and the Khyber Pass pass has been basically cut off by us. At present, tens of thousands of tons of arms and supplies are being stranded in Peshawar. In the tribal areas of northern Peshawar, there are more than 370 Islamic Jihadi schools and large training camps, of which the largest six have been attacked by us, and some have basically stopped training activities. ”

"But in the last month, the situation has changed. We had two serious encounters with an unidentified force in Peshawar, and we lost nine of our men. This armed force is well-trained, has strong assault capabilities, and cooperates with each other tacitly, and it is obviously not the same as the Western special operations group that fought with us in the early stage. Based on the characteristics, we judge that the most likely possibility is that China's 'ghost' has quietly arrived. ”

Gaytari. "On the night of the second Geert Grand Bazaar encounter, a huge explosion occurred at the premises of the Voice of Independence news agency in the halal country, which razed the entire building to the ground and affected the surrounding homes," Kamilf added. Since then, the news agency has disappeared. Because this news agency once interviewed me, we analyzed that the people who lived in the news agency were the same people who attacked us. ”

The members of the "Lightning" team, who had participated in the two encounters, also reported in detail on the combat situation at that time.

After his subordinates had finished reporting, General Oginets stood up with his wine glass, paced in the room and pondered for a while, then sat down and said, "The 40th Army under the command of Lieutenant General Tukhalinov has completely controlled the main cities and communication lines of the Shanren Islamic Republic. You have sent a team to cut off the back route of the people of country M, so that their arms cannot be transported into the mountain people Islamic Republic, and the results have been remarkable. ”

"Some time ago, intelligence agents of certain countries launched two covert attacks on the headquarters of China's 'ghost', and the 'ghost' suffered heavy losses and suffered great damage. Although their heads have been eliminated, according to credible information, the Ghost has sent a team into Peshawar. They are likely to be the ones that have befallen you. Headquarters believes that your main goal in the near future is to find and eliminate them once and for all! ”

"Winter is coming, and the time given to you by the headquarters is only one month, and they must be found. I have prepared two small groups of reserve teams for you, which are already on standby in Kabul. When you find them, they will quickly enter Peshawar to help you eradicate the Ghost once and for all. Headquarters intelligence confirms your judgment that the Voice of Independence news agency, which was interviewed in Peshawar earlier, was in disguise. ”

"So, what organization did they do when their news agency headquarters was blown up? They must have discovered or mastered the pattern of the 'ghosts'. The rest of you are going to hibernate in the near future, and all other activities are going to stop. The intelligence station will mobilize all the informants to find the organization as soon as possible. If you find this organization, you will also find the 'ghost'......"

General Oginets is the head of the "Vympel" and has a unique study of the geopolitical situation in Northeast Asia. He already had a preliminary judgment in his mind about the people who attacked the news agency.

The first to be denied is the people of country M and Europe, the main target of country M and Europe is now the Islamic Republic of the mountain people, and dealing with the army of polar bears is the top priority of country M and Europeans. Moreover, they have been cornered by the "Lightning" team of the "Signal Flag", and they are simply powerless to deal with the "ghosts".

Now, the one who wants to deal with the Chinese the most should be China's eastern maritime neighbor. Northeast Asia is the second potential hotspot in Shijie after Europe. The superficial harmony cannot hide irreconcilable contradictions and conflicts. Chinese mainland is in Northeast Asia, and the geopolitical security environment is extremely harsh. There are too many grievances and grievances in history, and the cutting is still messy.

Chinese mainland and Taiwan have been in a state of confrontation for a long time across the strait, and although Taiwan has the support of country M and the eastern country, it has always been at a disadvantage. The "ghost" is the essence of the Chinese armed forces, and it has caused Taiwan's "Military Intelligence Bureau" to suffer a lot for many years. Taiwan's "Military Intelligence Bureau" cannot and does not dare to take the initiative to provoke the "ghost."

Although the Eastern Kingdom has established diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland and is in a short-lived diplomatic "hot love" state, that is only a superficial article. They have more than 100 years of grievances and grievances, there are too many historical differences, and although the maritime territorial conflict has been put on hold for the time being, both sides know that sooner or later they will have to figure it out and divide the differences.

Although Chinese mainland pursues a foreign policy of peace, "friendship between China and China" and "no more war between China and China" are only wishful thinking on the part of Chinese mainland, and superficial "friendship" cannot cover up the differences and struggles between them. Thinking of this, General Oginets ordered, "The main target of the search should include the Eastern Wats." ”

"Your Excellency, the Japanese are still a group of thieves, and when they were digging up the remains of Peshawar, they were once bumped into by us. The two countries have not long established diplomatic relations and are in the 'honeymoon period'. There are currently nearly 100 people in Peshawar, all of whom are volunteers and businessmen, and are accomplices of the people of M. Do you suspect it's them? Molotov asked, puzzled.

Although Molotov is a veteran agent of the KGB, he has worked in the army system for a long time, and his geopolitical thinking is obviously far from keeping up with the generals.

"Comrade Colonel, do not be fooled by the illusion of diplomacy between countries. Keep an eye on them, starting with these volunteers, businessmen, and tomb robbers! General Oginets said beyond question......

Purely from the perspective of planning and planning for the secret battlefield, the high-level of the "Signal Flag" can be called the top level of Shijie. But it came a step too late, and General Oginets, who had thought beyond ordinary people, did not salvage the defeat for the "Vympel". Because, just as they were forming countermeasures with great lethality, the attacks of the "ghosts" against them had already begun......

At this moment, Lin Zhumin and Liu Guodong had just walked out of the basement and met two guards who walked over with guns in their arms, one of them shouted in a low voice in Pashto, "You guys don't hurry up, the conference room needs wine, Madame has already urged once, do you want to be whipped?" ”

At this time, the corridor was brightly lit, but there was no one else, Lin Zhumin and Liu Guodong suddenly threw out the knife in their sleeves. The two diving knives were instantly inserted into their necks, and with a click, the cervical vertebrae of the two guards were cut off in an instant. Yu Songyuan stretched out his hand to catch the two corpses, quickly dragged them into the basement, and put them in the underground wine cellar.

It was late at night, and the guards had gone to bed. There was only one group of mobile guards inside the summer palace, and the mobile posts were eliminated, and the four guards on duty at the gate of the summer palace were all swimming back and forth under the porch with their heads shrunk and guns in the cold wind. The courtyard, the corridors of the three-story building, and even the entire summer palace are unusually quiet at the moment. But this tranquility hides a great uneasiness. Like on the eve of a volcanic eruption, energy begins to gather.

Lin Zhumin and Lin Tao took cover, and Liu Guodong quickly secretly planted explosive devices in the corridors on the first floor. In particular, in the dining room where the meeting was taking place, two explosive devices were placed next to both doors. Then together with Lin Zhumin, he quickly walked to the second floor. After Lin Tao waited for Yu Songyuan to come out, the two of them also quickly followed, walked up to the second floor, and quickly moved along the corridor on the second floor to the left side of the auxiliary building.

The second floor of the main building is the area for "signal flag" activities, offices, and accommodation, and at this moment, they are all meeting in the restaurant on the first floor, and the entire second floor is quiet. Liu Guodong seized the time and quickly placed explosive devices in the corridors on the second and third floors of the main building and the auxiliary building.

The four of them quickly entered the auxiliary building on the left, only the wall lamps in the corridor were lonely and on, the lights were turned off in the room, and the entire auxiliary building was quiet. After Liu Guodong installed the explosive device, when he walked to the auxiliary building on the third floor, a person in the adjacent room was dressed in a coat, opened the door and walked out.

Lin Zhumin followed the cave-like passage and entered the fourth floor, while Liu Guodong carried the corpse, and Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao quickly followed. Above the fourth floor is the bell tower and water tower, which are only the size of one room. The passage from the fourth floor of the bell tower to the third floor also turns a large arc, and it is all made of stone, which is extremely solid. The room on the fourth floor is a utility room, and when you open the door, old equipment, bedding, tables and chairs are piled up inside.

Lin Zhumin and Lin Tao began to build a defensive line in the corridor leading from the fourth floor to the third floor. It was all thick stone buildings, the passage was narrow, like a cave, the structure was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with just one submachine gun, the two of them were completely sure that the entire water tower would be sealed. And even if the other party has heavy weapons, it will not be able to attack at all except to blow up the entire building.

Yu Songyuan and Liu Guodong entered the fifth floor, which was the water tower.

At this time, the city's water supply has been stopped, and the power supply in this area has been shut down. The pumping machine inside the water tower is already humming and running, and the generator in the basement of the summer palace is already generating its own electricity. As soon as the amount of water in the tower decreases, the float will control the pump to automatically start and pump water from the underground well to replenish the water inlet tower.

The design of the British back then was very exquisite, very similar to the principle of today's flush toilets. Over the past 100 years, it has undergone various modernizations and reconstructions, and is now more complete and reliable.
