Zhou Changfeng also knew that due to his special status, they had no right to order him to participate in this risky task, which is why Shen Yu said "half request, half request" before.

As the supreme military command body, the Metropolitan Governor's Office had many privileges under its jurisdiction, but these privileges were only relative, and at least in the matter of borrowing officers from the forbidden army, it had to be properly applied to the garrison commander.

According to Shen Yu, there are really very few people who meet the conditions, and although there are many people who have fought against the Tsarist Russian army and the Anglo-Burmese army in the northwest and southwest frontiers for decades, those officers have now been promoted to lieutenant colonels and colonels, to say the least. The last time the two sides clashed on a large scale was three years ago, but the number of troops involved in the battle was only two platoons.

"Actually, if you don't agree, we can still go to the border army to pick people, but it's also quite troublesome."

"I personally agree that it's really useless, you have to convince the garrison commander."

"It is both righteousness and will to punish thieves, and they will not let people go."

It's a really hard task, but Zhou Changfeng likes to challenge difficulties. What are Special Forces? The spirit of the special forces is "capable people cannot", and they are born to create miracles.

The group army to which he belonged before crossing naturally also had a special operations brigade, and although it was not related to the amphibious heavy brigade itself, he would occasionally go to exchange and visit, and by the way, he could have a meal, and if he was lucky, he could eat a few three-class stoves.

As far as the theory and experience of special warfare are concerned, although he doesn't even have half a bottle of water, at most a little water at the bottom of the bottle, but it should be enough to lead the entry of the Ming special forces today.

"So, how many resources do we have to secure this mission?" After gladly accepting, Zhou Changfeng asked.

"Many, this kind of traitorous thief is punished by everyone, and the emperor also approves of it." The fat man said meaningfully, "Otherwise, where can we please you?" ”

He is the chief of the Operations Section of the Intelligence Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, Du Guangqiao. The head of the department is called the head of the department or the head of the department is called the head of the office, and the head of the department is called the head of the department, but people generally call it "long".

"Okay, then I don't worry about this, I only say what I want." Zhou Changfeng looked around at everyone and stated:

"Although it's going to be a raid, there must not be many people, about twenty or so, not too many, half of them are soldiers, and the other half of them have outstanding specialties."

"What's a specialty? For example, a marksman who wears through Yang in a hundred steps, an expert who is proficient in explosives, a habitual thief who is good at lockpicking and theft, and a fighting master who has many enemies. ”

"Well, there are people like those who can wear makeup, can fly on walls, can drive a car and fly a boat, and it would be even better if they could speak a foreign language."

After his words fell, Du Guangqiao and Shen Yu looked at each other.

Specialty? Are you doing a martial arts conference?

Du Guangqiao, who was speechless, said: "Chief Zhou, although I have a lot of talented people, it is not easy to find these people you call in a short period of time, and besides, this kind of capable people are generally arrogant, and it is difficult to invite them." ”

"How many can you find, twenty people and half are ten, it shouldn't be difficult." Zhou Changfeng thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The remaining ten people will be selected from the scout units in the army, and they want the kind of veterans who have been in the army for at least four years...... Forget it, these ten people will use my soldiers directly. ”

After that, the group discussed other things, such as the most critical time frame.

None of the people present are stupid, and it takes time for the patchwork team to run in, otherwise how much can a group of guys who don't recognize each other play together?

However, in terms of time, the sooner the better, because the longer it drags on, the more information Chai Guoyi may reveal; At the same time, the British may also transfer it.

Therefore, it is believed that after a simple run-in, it is necessary to set off immediately.

The British did not send Chai Guoyi back to their homeland for diplomatic reasons, which was a good thing for the killing.

Zhou Changfeng couldn't quite understand this, but Shen Yu didn't care.

"As far as history is concerned, there are many beams in the Anglo-Dutch knot, but in terms of treating the Ming Dynasty, the two are highly consistent. Leave that guy in Batavia... Presumably, it was to facilitate the exchange of captured agents between the two sides in the future. ”

Some of the arrested British agents were held in the special prison outside the factory, and these people were ostensibly diplomats, so they would not be executed, but kept as bargaining chips.

This is the tacit agreement of the great powers - even if the agents of various countries under the guise of diplomats are arrested, they will not be harmed, but will eat and drink well, and after negotiations, choose to exchange in a third country.

In peacetime, collecting information is collecting information, and you won't be killed.

Of course, if the two sides go to war, this set of conventions will no longer exist.

The last exchange between China and the UK was four years ago, in Manila, and now it seems that the time is almost coming again?

After the discussion, everyone flashed and went their own way.

As soon as he returned to the station, Zhou Changfeng ordered Xiao Li to give an order to select ten people to participate in a special mission, which was led by him personally.

For the soldiers, who had been resting for a few days after the class, they were mentally relaxed, but they were quickly full of interest when they heard the news.

As for the risks... You may be hit by a car when you go out, what's so scary, and the battalion commander personally leads the team.

In the list of dozens of applicants, Zhou Changfeng finally selected one officer, two non-commissioned officers, and seven soldiers after some comparison and careful consideration.

Among them, the specialties are Zhao Rong, the second platoon commander of the third team who is quiet but calm, and Sergeant Guo Shenggen, a marksman with excellent marksmanship.

When Zhou Changfeng was busy explaining the task to these ten people, Shen Yu was not idle, he was trying to find the so-called "people with special skills" nearby.

In the Second Division of the Praetorian Guard, he found Wang Mingfa, an engineer corporal who was good at blasting, and Qiao Yang, a civilian ordnance officer who was proficient in the maintenance and correction of weapons and equipment.

In addition, there are two twin brothers, elder brother Li Jiangong and younger brother Li Liye, Shen Yu only learned about these two after some inquiry, although they have only been in the army for a year, but the military quality evaluation is almost excellent.

At the same time, perhaps because of the twins, the two have a tacit understanding, and the communication between the two often doesn't even require eye movements, and the cooperation is seamless.

According to their captain, it would take at least six or seven men to restrain the two brothers, whether they were fighting with hand-to-hand or bayonets.

This so-called "brothers work together, their strength breaks gold" is also.

In addition, Shen Yu also inquired about an interesting news - the famous "Jiangnan Feiyan" has been arrested again!

So he went through a special process and brought him out overnight from an inspection department in Zhenjiang Prefecture.

Xu Qinglan, who has bright eyes, looks like a white-faced scholar, and he is the kind of guy with a feminine atmosphere, to be honest, it is difficult to associate him with words such as "habitual offender and thief".

This is a "gifted" guy who has been good at stealing things since he was a child, and although his family is not wealthy, he has enough food and clothing, and the reason he steals is simply that he likes the feeling of quietly taking other people's things for himself, and at the same time seeing the anxious look of the owner of the object losing something.

However, Xu Qinglan's principle is that he usually returns the items quietly after three or four days.

And this is also the reason why he is often arrested - although he claims to have no locks that he can't open or things that he can't steal, as long as he stays for a few days, it is not difficult to catch him.

Over time, he has become a frequent visitor to the inspection departments of Zhenjiang and Yangzhou prefectures, and he is usually not detained for many days, because he does return the stolen items to their original owners.
