Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Haizhou, Headquarters of the Security Department

Ye Du looked at the documents in his hand again and again. These documents were all sent back by Xu Congzhou from Country T that morning.

"Director, why haven't you eaten yet? I've reheated it for you four times already!" Ye Du's assistant walked into the office and couldn't help but say when he saw the untouched dinner.

"Don't rush to eat, Xiao Ma. Right now, draft a report for me, requesting that all branches of the Security Department gather members of the Special Operations Team and have them sign up for an overseas special operation."

This special operation is unique and dangerous; all participants must relinquish all identities and participate in their own names.

If someone dies in the line of duty, they will be treated as a missing person, and their commendation will not be issued for at least 10 years.

"Is that all? There's no specific information about the operation?" Xiao Ma asked, looking up after finishing writing down Ye Du's words.

"That's all. We can only tell them the specifics of the operation after they've registered and signed the confidentiality agreement. Go and draft the report now, and while you're at it, book me a flight to the capital, the next available one."

"Chief, are you going to the capital again? Then report..."

"Report to the authorities as soon as possible and upload the information through special channels. I can't just wait here. I must go to the capital immediately to explain this to my superiors. I can't let our comrades fight alone overseas."

Oh, and I also need to write a report. I need a forced recruitment order from above. There's this guy who's a rare talent; I have to make him one of ours. Nobody can take him from me!

"A forced conscription order... Director, what is a forced conscription order? We don't seem to have any precedent for this!"

"If there's no precedent, we'll create one! It's an order to forcibly recruit him, he has to come whether he wants to or not! You're so young, can't you be less rigid in your thinking? Can't you use your brain and think things through? Go on!"

"yes!"

Security Department Temporary Command Center in Deep Sea City

027 put down the intelligence in his hand and let out a soft breath: "I really didn't expect that I was just thinking of helping this kid out, but I ended up taking advantage of him instead... Our 100 million US dollars has now become 300 million US dollars, and it will probably be even more."

"How can this child be so amazing?"

"Haha, he's quite amazing!" 073 said with a laugh. "However, things are going to be difficult for them. I've seen Xiao Hai's plan. If it's just a raid, it shouldn't be a big problem, but rescuing people from Rhodes Prison at the same time is too difficult!"

"Yes, it's very risky!"

The Rhodes Islands are too close to the Y country's Luoan command headquarters. Once they react and surround them, their chances of survival will be slim. What exactly is Xu Congzhou doing? Didn't he warn An Xiaohai?

"Actually... I think if we can find a way to help them, we might be able to give them a chance to survive."

"How can we help? That's not our territory, what can we do?"

"Senior, I'm thinking, if we humans could just move a little closer to them while they're moving, don't you think their chances of breaking through would be much greater?"

"What do you mean? When did you pick up this bad habit? Can't you just say what you mean?!" 027 said, glancing sideways at 073.

"Senior, I was just afraid you'd be angry, hehe!" 073 continued with a grin.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Senior, as far as I know, their leader is quite familiar with you, isn't he? Hehe!"

"Oh, I've been waiting for you here!"

"Are you kidding me?! The navy is a vital national asset! Do you think I can mobilize it with my old face?"

"Of course it can't be moved. Without orders from superiors, no one can move it!"

But senior, we can be a little more flexible!

I'll make the transfer report right away, but time is really tight. Even if we use special channels, it will still take some time. The key issue is that we don't know their current location.

"Look, Xiao Hai and his team are about to take action. What if our report is approved, but they happen to be too far away to arrive on time? Wouldn't all our efforts have been for nothing?!"

"So you want me to use my personal connections to get him to move in that direction first, and then they'll act according to the orders from above, right?"

"Hehe, you're right, senior! That's exactly what I meant."

Senior, Xiao Hai has helped us so much. We can't just let them fight alone while we sit back and reap the benefits, can we?

He's already carrying too much on his shoulders, too heavy a burden for him to bear! ..."

"Alright, I understand. I don't agree with doing this. This is a matter of principle. We have no right to interfere with the military. Forget about it! You'd be better off submitting a report right away!"

The higher-ups have always attached great importance to our operations and provided substantial support. It won't delay anything; go and submit the report quickly.

"Okay, I'm going then..." 073 left dejectedly.

027 gritted his teeth and thought for a long time before finally picking up the phone and dialing a number.

"Old Qian, there's something I'd like to discuss with you..."

Have you been near the Rhodes Islands recently? ...

Oh, you've just completed an escort mission and are heading back to port to rest...

"Here's the thing, our people have a special mission with Rhodes. Once the operation begins, their situation will be extremely dangerous. We've already reported to our superiors and requested your assistance. Do you think you could..."

027 was on the phone, and 073 was eavesdropping at the door. After listening for a while, the smile on 073's face grew wider. Just as he was about to sneak away, he turned around and bumped into a soft body.

"Xiaoyu, what are you doing?!"

"Boss, what are you eavesdropping on?" Mai Xiaoyu was still craning her neck to eavesdrop, but 073 pulled and pushed her away.

"Xiao Hai, you've struck it rich! I just asked A Lai, and he said we already have four hundred million US dollars! Ha!" Xu Tianyou nudged An Xiao Hai's shoulder and said with a wink.

"Oh, where have the weapons been transported to?"

"It's already on its way, it should arrive within two days. I've brought all my savings this time, so you can't lie to me, okay? You have to buy me double the amount after this is all!"

"Alright, stop nagging. You should be thanking me."

Weapons aren't meant to be displayed like ornaments; their true purpose is to be fired at the enemy. I'm doing this to help you!

"Come on, what you're saying does sound plausible!"

"Where's the plane? Did you manage to get the plane?"

"It's almost done. The pimp called me yesterday and said he's already talking to someone and should be able to finalize it by tomorrow."

"Xiao Hai, I feel like we're getting ripped off! Can't we just not buy such a nice plane? Can't we buy something cheaper? Or maybe we shouldn't buy one at all, and just rent two?"

"No, we still have to buy it ourselves."

The plane is too expensive. If we rent it, their people will be on the plane watching over it the whole time, which will make it difficult for us to modify it.

Buy it; don't lose more than you gain.

You can't buy a cheap one either, firstly because it's prone to problems, and secondly because its load-bearing capacity is insufficient.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

You're such a spendthrift! You just earned 300 million and you've already spent half of it! So wasteful! The money hasn't even been in your hands yet!

"You have the nerve to call me a spendthrift? Hah!"

"Of course I have the nerve! You said you'd support me, but you've squandered all your money. How are you going to support me now?!"

"I still have 2.5 million, and it might even double in a few days. You think I can't support you?"

"That's true. Although our Hai-ge is a big spender, he's also very good at making money. Your wife has really struck gold!"

An Xiaohai smiled slightly: "No, I've hit the jackpot by having Xuan'er with me."

"Ugh, how cheesy! How could I, a single guy, bring up this? Are you out of your mind? Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What are we doing tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow...tomorrow we'll continue practicing flying the plane, and fly a little further."

"Where are you driving to?"

"How about we go for a stroll in the Rhodes Islands?"

"Great idea! I'll go get ready right away!" Xu Tianyou jumped out of bed and rushed towards the door.

"Go and prepare, what are you preparing?"

"Of course we should prepare a few hand grenades! It's all over now, we should bring them a little something! You're so rude!"

"This isn't quite right..."

"What's wrong with that? Sending a grenade from afar is a small gift but carries great meaning!"

We're working ourselves to the bone here, while they're enjoying the sea breeze and sun. Is that fair? No, it's not! They should have a few days of stress too.

"You rascal..." An Xiaohai shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Why are you shaking your head? Are you going to do it or not? Give me an answer!"

"Go ahead and do it if you want, but if you're going to do it, don't be so stingy. A few grenades are too meager. It's like we can't afford anything good."

"So what do you mean?"

"You still have a few pieces of TNT, right? Tie them together with tape, and add some steel balls and nails inside. That would sound interesting."

"Fine! I give up!" Xu Tianyou rolled his eyes and ran out to prepare.
