Chapter 5 Simple Tasks
"The New Year is approaching, but the South African theater of operations is still tense, and authoritative sources analyze that it is difficult for the fighting to end in the short term." -- Allied Defense Weekly
***
"Another pressure comes from TF, the probability of infiltrating frontline towns and encountering TF is much greater, and in order to prevent special attacks by allied TFs, the ACA will also set up a large number of genetic scanners to identify TFs, although Johannesburg is not 'so' close to the front line, but as a large city close to the front line, there will definitely be command structures and material transfer stations, and these places have a high degree of protection against TF."
"According to these pieces of information, the alliance actually knew that Johannesburg was the largest supply center of the ACA on the South African front, and it was only less than 70 kilometers away from Pretoria, the largest command center, and it was half an hour's drive at most."
Jess continued to add to her boss, Ling Yu nodded, did not look at the girl in blue, but waved her hand, swept the map aside, and instead took out the news content of several newspapers from the projection materials floating in the air, and spread them out in front of the other two.
"The third problem is that the local social order must have collapsed, not to mention the curfew, military control and other policies that are inconvenient for action, and the vigilance of the residents is also very high, and I, a stranger, cannot disguise myself as a tourist, or even walk around the streets at will, which greatly increases the difficulty of concealment."
Ling Yu's brows furrowed, and her eyes fell on a news photo from an Indian war zone, in which a woman dressed in traditional Indian costume looked out of a terrified and vigilant broken window, even through the camera.
"Therefore, the difficulty of the task of operating in the occupied areas of the ACA is how to infiltrate through customs and border control, and once you successfully infiltrate, whether you are pretending to be a tourist or a refugee who is taking refuge with relatives and friends, it is easy to achieve the mission goal. In a war zone, where the slightest negligence can lead to failure, in short, my previous missions have only been to deal with the ACA's customs and police departments, and this time, any resident can be my enemy. ”
Ling Yu breathed a long sigh of relief before turning his head and looking at Han Fei, who was also frowning, he didn't speak, or rather, didn't refuse immediately. Because Ling Yu knew that Han Fei must have some important reason to come to ask him, but due to the professional habits of a courier, he was not comfortable asking too many things, and just as he was thinking about how to speak, Jiesi bluntly asked the question he wanted to ask.
"I have a question, Mr. Han Fei, why are you sending this thing, and who are you going to deliver this thing to?"
"Uh, Jessy, you can't ask that...... At least not so bluntly. ”
Ling Yu interrupted Jiesi with a loud voice, but Han Fei didn't dodge too much and answered directly.
"Actually, I don't know what the delivery is, but a friend who has a good relationship asked me to help...... That being said, it sounded like something very important from the tone of the friend......"
Han Fei's statement was a little hesitant, as if he was repeatedly considering what information he should reveal, and after a few seconds of silence, he raised his head and spoke as if he had made up his mind.
"Forget it, tell you, the delivery person is Anderson, yes, that Anderson Lee, this thing is very likely to have something to do with their intelligence network in South Africa. It is even related to the war situation of the alliance in South Africa. Ling Yu raised his eyebrows, the Global Strategic Defense Alliance's Military Intelligence Special Service and Operations Bureau - referred to as the Secret Service. At present, he is the largest intelligence agency of the Alliance, and the deputy director, Anderson Lee is a Navy submariner, and he has received the favor of Han Fei in the submariner era, and has a good relationship.
"Since you are the director, why doesn't the Secret Service use your own route to transport such an important thing, even if it is for the sake of safety, you can escort it to the army's TF detachment."
Jesse asked, a little surprised.
"I don't know." Han Fei shook his head, "Secret Service, you also know that he must have his reasons for not doing this. And he also asked me not to involve you, what you have to do is very simple, just find a way to sneak into South Africa and give this thing to the local consignee. ”
"I'm most afraid of hearing the word 'simple'."
Ling Yu rubbed his temples, he had a bad premonition - usually in movies, this kind of background entanglement complex task is often accompanied by a series of national intrigues and survival in death, and these two words are basically synonymous.
But Ling Yu couldn't go back to the absolute side immediately, on the one hand, he really couldn't find other jobs for the time being, and on the other hand, it was the uncontrollable urge in his heart to make trouble for the ACA - since there was no way to complete the vigorous revenge, then occasionally hit the glass of your house with a slingshot, paint some paint on your door and the like, Ling Yu, who had the heart of a small citizen, definitely didn't want to miss it.
And judging from Han Fei's statement, if he doesn't get it right, he can become a breakthrough for the alliance on the South African front, which is still a bit dark to think about...... In addition to being dangerous, it's the perfect mission.
"If it's a mission from the Secret Service, then there should be a more detailed plan, and you know, our combat TF can't take a civil airliner."
Jess added, reaching out to turn off the computer's holographic projection, and the files and materials that disappeared into the air in an instant made the entire living room empty.
"That friend of mine has already arranged all the plans, tomorrow afternoon there will be a commuter transport from the Alliance from the 47th to the base in Southeast Asia, the Secret Service will let it fly directly to the base in South Asia, where there is a C292 'Sky Lord' to carry you directly to Cape Town, the specific operation mission, the connection method, and the careful plan I will send to you later through the guò secret line...... Guys. ”
Han Fei glanced at Ling Yu, who was still immersed in his own world, and consciously turned the object of conversation to Jiesi's body, and the blonde girl nodded knowingly, throwing her inquiring gaze to her boss.
"How much does it get paid? For your sake, I can give you a discount. ”
Half-loud, Ling Yu held back such a sentence.
"How much do you want?"
Han Fei was silent for a moment and kicked the ball back to Ling Yu.
"The alliance is not short of money...... It's good to simply give 10 million universal coins. ”
"Poof, boss, if you don't want to take it, you don't need this method."
Ling Yu's offer was naturally in a half-joking tone, so that it attracted Jiesi's complaint, 10 million seems to be not too big a number, but due to the alliance's adoption of the material standard and state-owned assets guarantee system, the universal currency has extremely high purchasing power, for a simple example, Ling Yu's Type 2125 pistol can be bought on the black market for only 60 general coins, and this house located in the core area of the city of No. 47 only needs a little more than 20,000 general coins.
That is, at this price, you can buy more than 160,000 Type 2125 pistols, or 500 houses.
On the other hand, Ling Yu's delivery work in several occupied areas of the ACA is generally a big business if he can have one million universal coins, and ten million can even buy some mature technology of prehistoric civilizations with little military value - although there is no price.
Seemingly frightened by this amount, Han Fei frowned, but in the next second, his words made Ling Yu and Jiesi petrify on the spot.
"The amount of cash is a bit large, do you accept checks?"

"Can you explain it to me! Why are you on this plane!! And also!! What's the matter with your clothes!! ”
"Don't be so loud! Boss! I can hear you!! ”
The sound insulation effect of the TC-28 ATVT (Advanced Tactical VTOLTransport, vertical take-off and landing advanced theater transport) transport aircraft belonging to this Southeast Asian base is not very good, it seems that because it was designed at the beginning that the crew members can use soundproof headsets to communicate, and even the commandos on board can also communicate through the Guò individual communication system, so the tonnage of soundproof materials is given to the carrying capacity.
It was precisely because of this design that Ling Yu, who had taken off the headset at this moment, had to pull his throat so that the girl on the other side could hear his question--for obvious reasons, when Jesse Meino appeared in the seat opposite the transport plane, he could not use the headset to ask this question, after all, the captain, the navigator and the pilot were still online.
At this time, Jesse was wearing a women's black officer uniform of the Alliance Space Army, and the captain's epaulettes were hanging on her shoulders, and judging from the temporary pass she was holding in the same color as herself, she was obviously placed together by the little princess in front of her and Han Fei.
Things started out quite normally - at least when Ling Yu boarded the plane from the small Allied base on the 47th, and even when he boarded the plane at the Southeast Asia base, there was nothing abnormal until a moment before the door of the transport plane closed, when a female Allied officer dressed in black squeezed in through the crack in the door, and suddenly it was abnormal.
Interrupting Ling Yu's roar, Jess raised her hand and pointed to the headset, motioning for Ling Yu to put it back on, while Ling Yu pointed in the direction of the cockpit, Jess shook her head and said it didn't matter, and the two started a normal conversation with the microphone.
"I know that even if I apply to you, you won't allow me to come, so I'll sneak along, and Mr. Han Fei also thinks that I will be able to help you at a critical time."
"What's going on with this dress? Han Fei also found it? ”
"Don't underestimate the Knights' skills."
Jesse tilted her head and smiled, took off her boat-shaped hat, stretched out her fingers, and the black boat-shaped hat disappeared into thin air. And before Ling Yu could be surprised, Jesse made another gesture of putting on a hat, and the boat-shaped hat appeared on her head out of thin air.
After changing this little magic trick, Jess raised her finger and pointed to the hairpin on her forehead, and explained: "This hairpin is a product of black technology, it can form a visual effect field on me, that is, I am still wearing the skirt of the Knights, but you can't see it." ”
"I remember your dress seemed to be one of those big ......"
"Just tie it up."
"What about the microphone line? Did you also shield it with black technology? ”
"I just told the driver to give us a secret line when I boarded the plane, this kind of request is very common, is it possible that the two generals will also tear their throats when talking about military secrets?"
"Ugh - okay okay, you win."
Jiesi blinked her eyes and replied with a natural expression, while Ling Yu let out a long sigh and slapped her on the forehead, not knowing if it was because of her stupidity or because of the self-assertion of the girl in front of her.
"Although this hairpin takes six hours to charge once, there are thousands of different styles of clothes in it that can be changed at will, so you don't have to worry about sneaking into the boss of the mission or something! Mr. Han Fei also thinks that it is better for me to go with you, and I have also collected a lot of information about the operation......"
"Okay, okay, I know, at least you can follow me this time."
Ling Yu rubbed his temples, interrupting Jiesi's gushing self-promotion, he is not a very stubborn person, and as far as Jiesi's ability to show himself now, there is no problem with self-preservation, his only concern is that the two will not be able to cooperate tacitly, but it is his consistent principle not to put himself in situations where he needs help from others.
"What information do you have to hear?"
Ling Yu, who was no longer entangled, shifted the topic to the task, and Jiesi bowed forward slightly, subconsciously lowering her voice.
"I found something through the intelligence network of the Knights of Guò, the South African Secret Service network has just been massively sabotaged by the ACA intelligence agency due to a failed secret theft operation, and at this time the Secret Service wants us to send something over, I am worried that there will be some conspiracy behind this?"
"It wasn't too surprising to me...... That's why I'm reluctant to deal with intelligence agencies. ”
Ling Yu nodded, acknowledging the value of Jiesi's information, and then added: "But we don't have much to do, we can only say that we can adapt to the situation and deal with it carefully." ”
"On the other hand, I contacted the Knights' Retreat in Johannesburg, which should be able to provide us with some information and shelter to recover some away disadvantages."
It's really a useful skill, there are many believers in the Knights in this world, and Jesse is tantamount to a movable portable safe house. Ling Yu thought about it before nodding.
"Remember, though, that I am the commander-in-chief of the operation, and you must obey my orders completely."
As if to emphasize his status and not be despised by this overly capable employee, Ling Yu still added like this.
"No problem, boss."
Jiesi smiled playfully, sat on the chair, and saluted Ling Yu with an alliance military salute.
The rest of the journey passed in silence until the lights indicating the start of the plane's landing came on, the two men fastened their seat belts, and after a brief hover, the plane's tires touched the ground.
The hatch opened, Ling Yu unbuckled his seat belt, looked at the huge C292 "Sky Lord" not far away, and took a deep breath.
