I put you in charge of those rebellious female soldiers, how come they all became top special forces

"Every step they take comes with a budget and timeline, and there are dedicated personnel in charge."

"This is a complete strategic plan."

The second-in-command walked back to the table and said with a serious expression.

"They're not joking."

"It's really being done."

After those words were spoken, the temperature in the restaurant seemed to drop considerably.

The young secretary's back was soaked with sweat.

The second-in-command put down his teacup and looked at the older secretary.

"Retrieve Chen Zheng's file; I want to review it again."

The senior secretary immediately turned and left, returning the file in less than five minutes.

It was a paper file with a red security classification mark printed on the cover.

The second-in-command opened the file at the dining table and looked at it page by page.

Their gaze lingered on a few key points for a long time.

The Beijing Institute of Technology incident.

Bailu sent a supernatural assassin carrying a "shikigami" to infiltrate the top-secret laboratory. Chen Zheng single-handedly repelled the assassin and shattered the "shikigami" with a single punch.

The incident involving an ancient martial arts family in Southwest China.

Chen Zheng crippled the third elder of the Zong family with a single punch in front of thousands of soldiers, dismantling the alliance of ancient martial arts families that had been entrenched in the southwest with overwhelming power.

This operation involved catching bullets with bare hands, suppressing a hundred armed men in a standoff, and eliminating six White Egret special agents within minutes.

Other things, such as taking on several people at once or overthrowing a family overnight, are even easier to accomplish.

If these battle records were placed in the file of any normal officer, he might immediately consider them as fabricated.

However, given the central government's concern for Chen Zheng, each of his achievements was accompanied by complete video recordings and supporting materials from various sources.

The evidence included surveillance footage from the safe house, first-person view footage from a body camera, timeline comparison of satellite images, and forensic reports on bullet casings and bullet marks found at the scene.

Every chain of evidence is closed, leaving no room for doubt.

The second-in-command closed the file and pondered for a moment.

A few seconds later, he made a decision.

The second-in-command walked to a corner, picked up a red secure phone, and dialed a number.

"Commander An," the second-in-command went straight to the point without any pleasantries, "Where is Chen Zheng now?"

On the other end of the phone, An Jianjun was clearly a little startled, but he answered quickly.

"Reporting to the commander, Chen Zheng is currently in Shigatse wrapping things up."

"The finishing touches on the work at the Dawa and Qiangba families are still underway, and it is expected that..."

"Let the local authorities and military district handle the cleanup," the second-in-command interrupted him directly, his tone leaving no room for discussion. "I have an even more important task for him."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, the second-in-command briefly explained the situation.

The decryption results of the encrypted hard drive indicate that Egret is most likely being operated by a CIA task force in East Asia.

The Dragon Kingdom needs someone to probe the other side's bottom line and plans.

Of course, it was just a test.

All we need to do is figure out the size of this CIA task force, its scope of activities, and its next steps and intentions.

"This mission is not suitable for people from the regular intelligence system." The second-in-command's tone remained calm. "The CIA knows our national security personnel very well. If we send out familiar faces, they will be discovered before they even arrive at their destination."

"We need an unofficial person who is highly capable, has a clean identity, and whose movements are not on the other party's surveillance list."

"Chen Zheng is the right choice."

"I have repeatedly confirmed his abilities, and they are sufficient."

"Moreover, his current identity and activity patterns are a blank slate for the CIA."

"They don't know him, they don't understand him, they don't even know that such a person exists."

"This is one of his major advantages."

An Jianjun remained silent for several seconds on the other end of the phone.

During those few seconds of silence, he was thinking about many things.

He never doubted Chen Zheng's abilities.

But the CIA's task force was not a local tyrant in Tibet, nor a few White Egret agents, nor a motley crew of hundreds of men wielding steel pipes.

That is a world-class intelligence agency and its specialized combat units.

They have satellites, drones, and intelligence networks spanning the globe.

They have an inexhaustible budget and a personnel training system that is many levels higher than that of Egret.

Throw Chen Zheng over there alone...

An Jianjun opened his mouth, wanting to say something in protest.

But in the end, he only said one sentence.

"I forwarded the message to him."

Unfortunately, in these matters, we must ultimately respect the considerations of the parties involved.

The second-in-command grunted in agreement and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up, he picked up the tablet again and turned to the last page of the decryption report.

There is a note from the technical department above, marked in red.

"This task force has been active in Southeast Asia recently, and is suspected of planning a new round of infiltration operations targeting the southwestern border of my country."

"Multiple related signal sources are concentrated in the Lao region of Myanmar. It is recommended to take countermeasures as soon as possible."

The second-in-command stared at the words for a few seconds.

Southeast Asia……

He placed the tablet face down on the table and picked up the bowl of clear soup noodles, which had now gone cold.

The noodles had clumped together and were completely mushy, losing all their texture.

The second-in-command didn't seem to care, just picked up a mouthful of noodles and put it in his mouth, then took a sip of the noodle soup.

Everything was cold.

But he ate very carefully, chewing each bite as if he were digesting noodles, or perhaps digesting the information he had just received.

Across the table, the two secretaries stood ramrod straight, neither daring to utter a word to remind the leader that the noodles were getting cold and asked for a different bowl.

Soon, the second-in-command finished the last sip of soup, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"Postpone the morning's economic work conference to the afternoon."

"I need to see the joint assessment report from the Ministry of National Security, the General Staff Department, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before 9:00 AM."

"Give me all the known intelligence about the CIA's Southeast Asia task force, everything."

The two secretaries stood at attention and saluted simultaneously.

"yes!"

……

Shigatse, safe house.

After the Dawa family manor was cleared out, the military district's receiving troops and Gesang's local review team took full control of all the three families' businesses.

The mine was shut down, the caterpillar fungus purchasing station was shut down, and all three companies' bank accounts were frozen.

Qiangba Pingcuo and Qiangba Zhaxi, the uncle and nephew, were detained on the same day the mine was raided.

Dawa Rob was pinned to the ground by Ram for more than half an hour before being handcuffed and taken away by the military district.

Gongjue Suolang is still lying in a hospital bed in the military detention center. His knee is broken and he can't walk, but his mouth has started to loosen.

The three major families collapsed almost overnight.

The dark clouds that had hung over Xietongmen County for decades have finally dissipated.

Chen Zheng's mission has finally come to a temporary end.

The three of them were given a rare moment to catch their breath.
