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

Chapter 799: Using a shotgun to shoot birds, it felt really good.

Ten hours later.

The Y-20 Kunpeng transport aircraft has successfully arrived at a military airport in northern Xinjiang province.

This military airport is not far from the border.

It's probably only three or four hundred kilometers.

However, the plane arrived at the airport not long after.

More than half of the "Northwest Tiger" special operations brigade's forces have disappeared.

Only one squadron remained at the airport.

As for Jiang Chen...

For the next period of time, I felt rather idle.

Because this airport is home to a transport aircraft regiment.

Even if Jiang Chen wanted to borrow a fighter jet to have some fun, he couldn't find one.

Let alone fighter jets.

There wasn't even a simulator.

Want to have some fun?

It's the Feiyun-20 Kunpeng transport aircraft.

Just started.

Jiang Chen didn't notice anything unusual.

Moreover, this trip abroad will last for almost a month.

Exhausted physically and mentally.

So these few days are a good time to rest.

However, after a full two weeks, Jiang Chen could no longer hold back.

These few years.

He has never rested for so long before.

And if I really want to take a vacation.

Why not just go home and stay for a few days?

Now things have turned out really bad.

Not only were they left in this desolate place where all they could see was desert and not even birds could lay their eggs, but they were also left there every day.

And even airplanes can't fly.

“Tiger Head, how much longer will this mission take? If I keep doing nothing like this, I’ll get rusty.” Jiang Chen knocked on Tiger Head’s office door and complained.

Tiger Head raised his head and said with a smile, "Young man, you need to learn to be patient. It's only been ten days, and you can't even hold back anymore?"

Jiang Chen said irritably, "This godforsaken place is like being in prison. If I had something to do like you guys, that would be fine, but I have absolutely nothing to do. What am I supposed to do?"

"If the mission takes a long time or there is some uncertainty, you might as well let me return to the team first."

Tiger Head waved his hand and said, "This mission is quite important, you can't leave."

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and said, "You're like Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou, never to return it."

'Tiger Head' put down his pen.

He then said helplessly, "It's not that I'm 'borrowing without repaying,' but the task ahead is indeed important."

"You should know something about that senior monk who defected decades ago."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Of course I understand. Right now, he's like a clown, running around all over the world."

"But that big monk isn't much of a threat, is he? He's practically useless except for being disgusting."

"Tiger Head" said helplessly, "It used to be, but it's not anymore."

"Oh?" Jiang Chen immediately became interested. "Tell me more."

The senior monk wasn't much of a threat before. And his henchmen were easily defeated.

“Didn’t Bharat suffer a loss in the conflict with Pakistan two years ago?” Tiger Head explained. “The whole world knows who is backing Pakistan, so Bharat not only hates Pakistan, but also hates us.”

"But Bharat also knew his own limitations and knew that he couldn't beat us head-on. So he decided to make use of what he had and played the big monk card again."

"After more than two years of development."

"Barbara has indeed managed to raise an armed force."

"So now we're just waiting for the latest intelligence to come in."

"Once we've figured out their hideout, we can start taking action."

Jiang Chen understood.

Then, somewhat puzzled, he asked, "This information was also provided by GA."

"Otherwise what?" 'Tiger Head' retorted.

Jiang Chen frowned before saying, "I don't really understand GA. Logically speaking, many missions should be easier and more successful if they were to carry them out. But why don't they carry out these missions themselves, and instead only provide intelligence?"

"What mission?" 'Tiger Head' asked, somewhat puzzled.

“For example,” Jiang Chen made a throat-slitting gesture, then added, “once the leader is eliminated, wouldn’t it be easier to deal with the rest of the underlings? A snake can’t function without a head. I don’t believe that without the leader, those forces can still put up a stubborn resistance.”

Tiger Head glanced at him.

He said calmly, "You mean assassination?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Heh." 'Tiger Head' sneered, "Intelligence agencies should just honestly collect intelligence, organize clues, and develop their network. If they're assassinating the leaders of hostile forces every day, inciting the overthrow of other countries' regimes, and funding anti-government armed groups, that's not an intelligence agency, that's a special forces unit. If they go any further, they're terrorists."

"There are plenty of people who can do the dirty and hard work, why must it be done by the intelligence department?"

"This is no longer overstepping one's bounds."

"Think about it, why isn't our GA as well-known domestically and internationally as the CIA, KGB, Mossad, or MI6? Is it because the GA is incompetent? If it were truly incompetent, we would have been infiltrated into a sieve long ago and become a giant Persian."

"It's not that GA is bad, but that GA is the most competent intelligence agency among all major powers."

"Kill a nuclear expert today, behead another power leader tomorrow, and overthrow the regime of a small country the day after. It's hard not to become famous. But what happens after you become famous? You'll become too powerful to control!"

"Now the CIA, Mossad and the like have gradually become militarized."

"They have intelligence and weaponry. How terrifying would that be?"

"Therefore, our country's intelligence agencies drew a red line decades ago—no assassinations, no kidnappings, and no espionage or terrorist activities. They can only conduct intelligence work on the covert front."

"So you understand?"

Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully.

Tiger Head's words were a line of thinking he had never considered before.

indeed.

Most people have been misled by movies like James Bond.

I think a secret agent is a combination of special forces soldiers and intelligence personnel.

Secret agents should be able to wreak havoc everywhere.

That's completely wrong.

It would be truly terrifying if intelligence agencies also controlled armed forces.

For example, the KGB in the former Soviet Union.

Another example is the CIA in the United States today.

There is already a trend of warlords who obey orders but not proclamations.

"Alright then," Jiang Chen said somewhat helplessly, "I'll rest for a few more days."

"When you have a long break, time seems to pass very slowly."

"If you're bored, go shoot birds," 'Tiger Head' laughed. "Shooting birds with a shotgun is really satisfying."
