Chapter 2: Fisher's Lessons
Since he inherited part of the memories of the original owner of his body, Shen Chao knew that his best choice at this time was to complete the training here and strive to be admitted to the cell division project team of the third echelon. Shen Chao knew that this was an intelligence organization that often had actual combat missions, and the purpose of the cell division project team was to cultivate the needs of the third echelon: to have a strong psychological element and superb combat skills, and to be able to conduct reconnaissance and assassination behind enemy lines. Front-line combatants on a range of combat missions such as intelligence gathering.
Since most of the tasks carried out are small-scale. There are usually only a few or even one person involved in the mission, so the third echelon has extremely high requirements for the individual quality of the combatants. Field combatants need to be proficient in the use of a variety of weapons and means of transport and communications equipment. And can develop a complete combat plan and reserve plan with limited intelligence support and a very short preparation time and successfully execute it. Simply put, the goal of the Splinter Cell Project team is to raise a group of killers who can reliably do anything.
And now Shen Chao is looking at the predecessors of the cell division project in front of him, and the legendary person who single-handedly created this training center - Sam. Fisher, this is a very ordinary-looking middle-aged white man. The figure and appearance are not outstanding. He has short hair on his head and a face that has gone through vicissitudes of life, making him look a lot older than his actual age. Standing at the front of the group, Fisher, who is not very tall, can easily make people think: "This is an ordinary person". But his eyes were extremely firm, and his eyes swept over a row of students, making Shen Chao inexplicably have the illusion that he was being targeted by a tiger.
Fisher wore the same camouflage uniform as the cadet. While observing the trainees, he began to speak: I have read the resumes of all of you. Some of you are the elite selected from various units, SEALs, Deltas, Marines, Rangers. Others are civilian personnel with some kind of expertise. As he spoke, he looked at Shen Chao's side. But it's good that each of you has some combat experience, and each of you has some experience in killing the enemy. But none of you are ready to do our job yet, and each of you lacks some of the necessary skills or mental preparation. None of you have the ability to complete the tasks of the third echelon. And it's my job to get you ready.
After saying that, Fisher took all the cadets to the arsenal to pick up the costumes. In this training base, combat clothing and weapons are kept in the arsenal. Shen Chao, along with other students, began to learn how to put on and take off these combat uniforms as quickly as possible under the guidance of Fisher. When they saw that it took Fisher less than four seconds to put on a complete set of standard infiltration combat uniforms, Shen Chao and the other students were shocked and poured out a cool breath.
Fisher explained that not all places can be infiltrated with agility, and sometimes we have to quickly change our disguises to disguise ourselves as enemies or civilians to infiltrate or escape the target area. Talking about the detailed demonstration of several skills for quick costume change, each method corresponds to a type of clothing. Over the next few days, Fisher spent the next few days training the cadets on how fast they could change their clothes. Shen Chao also learned to change his whole body clothes in 30 seconds.
After completing the dressing training, Shen Chao and the other students began to learn the various stealth techniques and related theories taught by Fisher. And began gun fighting training, and it is obvious that some students in the team have also learned some basic gun fighting skills, which can improve the chances of survival in ultra-close combat...... But Professor Fisher's gunfighting skills are obviously much more complicated. Once trained, it can give you an all-round advantage over enemies from any direction in melee combat. Although it is still far from being as good as in some movies, those who are proficient in gun fighting can gain a huge advantage in ultra-close gun grabbing, shooting, and combat, greatly improving the chances of survival in ultra-close combat. …,
In addition to this, Fisher also asked everyone to choose an exclusive pistol. There are no restrictions on models, calibers, new and old. I really feel that even if I choose a .22 caliber pocket gun, according to Fisher's explanation, most of the occasions when they will use a robbery in their future missions will only need to use a pistol. Shen Chao picked a brand new MK.23 and installed a matching muffler.
After completing this stage of training, Sam arranged for everyone to learn various lockpicking, blasting, sabotage, basic hacking skills and the use of various special equipment. To be honest, the part of unlocking is very difficult. There are just too many locks to learn. All kinds of mechanical locks, electronic locks, perforated locks, and cooperative lockpicking for everyone to learn. Violent Breakdown...... These difficult, high-intensity, and high-skill training made several people fail.
In the third phase of training, Fisher began to teach in detail how to keep himself hidden in different situations. Various camouflage and stealth techniques are constantly emerging. The stealth theory is relatively simple. In the final phase of the training, Fisher also focused on several unique and effective methods of battlefield first aid and self-rescue. At this stage, several people were eliminated because their technology did not meet Fisher's minimum requirements.
Finally, after 5 months of training, Shen Chao and 7 other people got through all the training. Now, with one more combat test, they can become part of the small but extremely elite field force in the third echelon. For unknown reasons, Shen Chao and another trainee were assigned a solo mission for the first actual combat mission after completing the training. That is, to complete the task independently without backup. Although I don't know what the criteria for a solo mission are, it doesn't mean that you can't guess.
During the entire training period, Shen Chao's electronic infiltration performance has been very high, of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the original owner of this body is a skilled intelligence officer. Therefore, Shen Chao guessed that his mission was likely to be to steal or destroy electronic information in a place with a low level of security. Carter, who is on a solo mission, is a fighter with very strong overall skills, and was previously a member of the Navy SEALs. I have to say that the strength of seals is very enviable, for example, there were two seals at the beginning of the training, and now that the training is over, the two are still there.
Among the cadets, those from other units made it to the end, only a little more than half of what they had started with. In fact, even Shen Chao himself was surprised that he could really make it to the end. In other words, thanks to the good foundation of electronics left by the original owner of this body, and Shen Chao's own hard work in the past few months, the two of them finally allowed him to train.
Two days later, on an ordinary flight to Cuba, Shen Chao was sitting in his seat with his eyes closed. He was tasked with going to a small city in Cuba called Mantua to steal the trade information from a local arms dealer named Akens. Earlier information was received that Arkens would not be leaving the town anytime soon, and there were a total of six professional bodyguards in his mansion. The goal of the mission is to steal the transaction data from his computer without alerting anyone.
It seems to be very simple, but when the quest arrives, there is still no blueprint for the house in the target location. As for whether there is an electronic alarm system inside, and the level of the alarm system, Shenma does not know. He needs to be improvised. As for why fly on a business jet? That's because the level and danger of this mission are not high, and there is no need for the air force to forcibly break into the airspace of other countries.
Up-to-date information on his equipment and targets can be obtained from the local CIA intelligence officer who receives him after he disembarks from the plane. In Jose. After landing at Marti International Airport. Shen Chao was wearing a summer casual suit, with big sunglasses and a large backpack. Walk down the spiral staircase in the standard American tourist attire. It's mid-August, it's noon again, and the strong sun is shining on the runway of the airport. As soon as Shen Chao stepped out of the hatch, he felt the sultry tropical air blowing through his body, and he took a deep breath, knowing that the first mission was about to begin. …,
As a law-abiding citizen, the closest thing Shen Chao has ever done in his life to breaking the law is that he was once drunk by a friend in a bar and then mistakenly entered the women's toilet. It is difficult for such a good old man to carry out some tasks of stealing materials, destroying public facilities (sabotage behind enemy lines) and even killing people. Fortunately, after months of intensive training, he spent every day with a group of professional soldiers with blood on his hands, and he thought he was ready to face blood, both enemy and his own.
After passing through customs, Shen Chao found a small restaurant in the airport and sat down at a table in the corner. He put his backpack aside. I took off my sunglasses and put them in my left T-shirt pocket, and asked for a cup of coffee. Within a few minutes, an extremely ordinary-looking white man came over with a stack of newspapers to connect with him, which could really only be described as ordinary, Shen Chao estimated that if the other party walked into the crowd for a few seconds, he would disappear.
After confirming the identities of both parties with a few codes, the two of them were obviously relaxed, and Shen Chao immediately ordered a few Cuban dishes to start lunch. That's right, neither of them is in a hurry to leave. Agents are also human beings, and they have to eat when they complete their missions.
It was lunchtime, so Shen Chao and the CIA intelligence officers enjoyed the taste of Cuban lobster. With a good bottle of Cuban local red wine, and the delicious lobster meat kept running down his throat, Shen Chao suddenly felt that this crossing was not a bad thing, at least his previous job would never have the opportunity for him to travel abroad at public expense. can eat and drink with such blatant public funds, in his hometown, this is something that only civil servants can do. However, strictly speaking, he himself is now a civil servant, but he is an American civil servant in this time and space, and he must use all kinds of violent means to "desperately" defend the overseas interests of the American people before someone can pay him a salary.
