You were asked to repeat your senior year of high school, and you took advantage of the opportunity

Chapter 763 The situation has calmed down, and peace has returned.

A few hours later.

The massive fleet, consisting of two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, finally "bowed its noble head" and turned back.

They came full of enthusiasm, but left disappointed.

The standoff in the waters near Daliuqiu Island has quietly come to an end.

They each returned to their respective naval ports.

Twelve hours later.

With the departure of the US fleet of four nuclear-powered aircraft carriers from the Luzon Islands, the University of Tokyo also took the opportunity to cancel its highest level of combat readiness.

Everything seemed to have returned to normal.

The whole world breathed a sigh of relief.

They all became curious.

Everyone wants to know what exactly happened in the South China Sea at dusk on July 12th.

This is what made the once-arrogant US military take the initiative to 'back down' and withdraw from the relevant waters.

But it doesn't matter whether it's the University of Tokyo or the American side.

They remained tight-lipped about the events of July 12th, revealing no details whatsoever.

what?
It turns out there was a third party involved in this incident.

Is it one of the Four Asian Tigers that relied on a large number of women working as nannies abroad to earn foreign exchange?

However, everyone, whether intentionally or unintentionally, has overlooked the role of the nanny state in this incident.

Although that country was the trigger.

But now he's become nobody.

As for the country's ridiculous 'arbitration', nobody mentions it anymore.

Even in that country.

They also seemed to have forgotten that they had won a lawsuit.

Not only that.

Several tweets that went viral on Twitter on July 12th were taken down, and the related accounts were even banned.

Domestic media outlets such as Tiexue.net, Sina Weibo, and Douyin.

All traces of this incident have been erased.

The reasons given by domestic and foreign media are almost identical, and they all sound plausible.
—The news is fake news. As for those banned accounts, they were banned for allegedly spreading rumors and fake news.

The two sides had a great understanding.

All parties have proactively reduced the public's attention to this incident to a minimum.

However, some observant people still caught a clue from other news reports.

For example, there was a former four-star general in the U.S. military—Commander of the Pacific Fleet, Harris.

He was recalled to China just a few days later.

Then the Pentagon announced that Harris, who was only in his fifties and still in his prime, was retiring from active duty.

The US president also announced it on Twitter.

This former four-star general will serve as South Korean ambassador.

He became the de facto ruler of South Korea.

However, clues are always just clues.

This cannot be used as direct evidence that the two major military blocs nearly ignited World War III.

But as time went by...

This standoff gradually became known to the public.

Various versions and analytical articles about this incident have also appeared online.

But that's a story for another time.

A month later.

Northern Xinjiang Province.

The sun was high in the sky above the office.

The scorching sun practically baked the entire earth.

On the edge of this vast desert adjacent to the Tianshan Mountains, flows a river fed by melted snow from glaciers.

The banks of the river are covered with willow trees and reeds.

It's like a green ribbon adorning this desert.

And beside the river.

A straight highway stretches from the edge of the desert all the way to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

However, this road does not meander uphill.

Instead, it 'disappeared' at the foot of the mountain.

at this time.

A convoy was driving on this straight road.

When the convoy reached the foot of the mountain, the road seemed to end in a dead end, with a barren cliff at the end.

The convoy stopped.

A person got out of the first car. This person walked to the bottom of the 'cliff' and did something, though it's unclear what.

Followed by.

A group of people emerged from the 'cliff'.

These are a pair of fully armed soldiers.

The soldiers approached each vehicle, carefully inspected it, and verified the identification of everyone inside.

Then he waved his hand.

This indicates that the vehicle may continue moving forward.

watt?

Isn't this a dead end?

Isn't the end of the road a cliff?
How can we move forward?

But soon.

The cliff split in two, and a dark hole appeared before everyone.

Oh.

It turns out this wasn't a cliff after all.

It was a gate that had been disguised.

The other end of the gate is a tunnel, and it's unclear where it leads.

The convoy restarted.

We entered the tunnel.

The convoy drove through the tunnel for about ten more minutes before finally arriving at a brightly lit place.

"This place used to be a nuclear test site built during the Third Front construction, but it was abandoned after the international situation changed."

"A few years ago, the boss learned about this place, so he specially came here. After a series of renovations, it has now become our den of wolves."

On a military off-road vehicle.

Nie Yunfeng turned around.

He looked at Jiang Chen in the back row and explained.

Jiang Chen first looked around at the 'wolf den' that stretched deep underground before asking, "This should be one of 'Old Lu's' secret bases, right? What are we doing here, coming all this way?"

The "1-4-8-2" unit is under the command of the General Staff.

In layman's terms...

This is a special forces unit personally commanded by the General Staff.

However, they are not the same as the 'special forces' that are misunderstood by the outside world.

Special forces soldiers aren't all superhuman; they're all capable of capturing tigers in the mountains and dragons in the sea.

Actually.

The so-called 'special forces' are merely soldiers with special missions.

It's not that 'soldiers' are special.

However, because some special forces units are engaged in special missions, the military skills training they receive is different from that of ordinary troops.

Again.

It's not that 'special forces' are particularly good at fighting.

They are best suited for performing special tasks in certain special environments.

Just imagine.

A group of special forces soldiers are facing off against an armored force. Can the special forces soldiers turn the tide with their military skills?

Think more.

It's a miracle they weren't crushed into mincemeat.

So never mythologize special forces.

The same applies to the '1-4-8-2' troops.

This special forces unit, which belongs to the General Staff, is very mysterious to the outside world and includes both air force and army personnel.

But what if we take them out to compete against a combined arms brigade?

They'll definitely get utterly humiliated.

We can't win, we can't win.

We really can't win.

"You talk like you know some inside information." Nie Yunfeng noticed Jiang Chen staring at him and said irritably, "I was also suddenly conscripted and called to this meeting, and I'm still completely confused."

"But let's wait and see. Since they've called us here, they must have some task to assign us."

"Young man, calm down. What kind of person are you if you're always so impulsive?"

Jiang Chen saw that he had started chanting scriptures again.

Too lazy to pay attention to him.

Instead, it began to observe its surroundings on its own.

P.S.: Sigh, the previous part of the story felt a bit anticlimactic. I had a lot more plot to write, but because every chapter I wrote was flagged by the censors, I decided to stop. The book's outline is due at the end of the month, so I have several extra days. Therefore, I'll write another climactic part. I've written over a million words without getting to the actual combat, so I'll end the book with a high-octane, action-packed scene. I hope you all enjoy and support me. Thank you so much!!!
