A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 1062 Unlimited Right to Fire!

At this moment, in another room of the Little Red Building.

The heavy curtains were drawn tightly shut, blocking out all light and sound from the outside world.

The room was small, lit only by a low-wattage incandescent bulb, casting a dim, yellowish light that barely illuminated a table in the center and a private telephone covered with red silk cloth.

Old Wang and Secretary Liu sat side by side on hardwood chairs in front of the table. The two of them were even comically wrapped in a thick military cotton quilt, not for warmth, but to block out sound as much as possible and prevent any possible eavesdropping.

"Comrade Wang Kui, is Comrade Xiao Liu here too? To make a long story short, the 'phishing' plan has been approved by the highest authorities and will be launched immediately. The target file (referring to Jiangxia's encrypted core file) will serve as the primary bait, and the monitoring of related access paths and abnormal queries has been fully upgraded."

Your group's mission is to closely monitor the interior of the Darian base and all channels that may have access to the information in the archives. Once you discover that someone has taken the bait, no matter who they are, take immediate control and, if necessary, take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of the archives and the absolute safety of Comrade Jiangxia.

The relevant authorization and operational details were subsequently delivered through top-secret channels. Repeat, operation codename 'Scavenger,' authorization level: A-0-1. Understood?

Old Wang tightened his grip on the receiver: "Understand my ass!"

"Hey!"

"Bullshit! Can't you understand what I mean? I oppose this plan!"

Secretary Liu, who was standing next to him, was startled and looked at him nervously.

Old Wang's chest heaved violently: "You fucking don't care, but I do!"

"Back then, those bastards from Tianshan managed to get his file out of the country! To get that file back, I went to Russian territory and blew it up!"

"Now... now you're telling me we should use his file as 'bait'? I disagree! Absolutely disagree!"

Eh...

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, as if they hadn't expected Lao Wang's reaction to be so intense.

Outsiders don't know.

Now, in Lao Wang's heart, guarding the fluttering red flag is the highest mission, while staying by Jiang Xia's side and protecting this brother who is like his own younger brother and carries an enormous burden on his thin shoulders is another vow engraved in his bones.

Old Wang had promised the silly boy that he would stay with him and walk together into tomorrow!

snort!

To uphold our vow, not even the slightest mishap is allowed!

"Comrade Wang Kui! This is Shang Kun!"

Upon hearing the person on the other end introduce themselves, Wang Kui and his secretary, Xiao Liu, instinctively stood up: "Greetings, sir!"

“Comrade Wang Kui! The organization understands your feelings. We know better than anyone else how important Comrade Jiang Xia is. Precisely because he is so important, and is the target that the enemy is willing to do anything to understand and destroy, we cannot remain passively on the defensive forever.”

Old Wang, panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot, said, "Sir! I understand the reasoning! But once the files are touched, the risk is there! That kid can't withstand any trouble! We can use other methods, strengthen security, and intensify the investigation..."

"Wang Kui!" Comrade Shang Kun's voice suddenly rose: "The enemy has gone so far as to poison and bomb Phnom Penh! Their tentacles are everywhere! Passive defense will never be enough! What we need is not just to capture one or two small fry, but to wipe them out completely!"

We must sever their outstretched claws, along with the sinister hands behind them, completely!

Seeing that Lao Wang remained silent, his breathing still heavy, Comrade Shang Kun's tone softened somewhat: "Don't worry, this 'fishing' operation isn't about exposing Comrade Jiang Xia to danger. On the contrary, all actions are within our tight surveillance and pre-set trajectory. The files themselves are the most sophisticated trap. What we're catching are those 'big fish' who think they're well hidden and are trying to uncover core secrets. And..."

Comrade Shang Kun paused for a moment, then his voice suddenly turned cold: "In principle, this operation will leave no survivors and will not take any statements. As long as it is confirmed to be a 'fish' and the level of harm reaches the standard, it will be authorized to be eliminated on-site. Clean and efficient, eliminating any future troubles."

Old Wang suddenly raised his head, a sharp glint in his eyes. "No survivors? No confessions?" This was completely different from his usual style of carrying out missions.

"Yes. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures," Comrade Shang Kun affirmed.

“When you’re going to plow the courtyard and sweep the hole, you have to sweep it clean. However…” He subtly changed the subject, “If, and I mean if, during the operation you discover someone you ‘know’, or there are signs that there are deeper connections behind them… you can spare their life. We need to follow the clues and pull them all out. But this requires you to make on-the-spot judgments, and the risk is extremely high.”

Old Wang doesn't care about his own risks, as long as his good brothers are safe.

He remained silent for a few seconds, as if engaged in a fierce internal struggle. Finally, Old Wang spoke into the microphone in a deep voice:

"Sir, I... obey orders. 'Operation Cleaner,' Wang Kui, I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

"Good!" Comrade Shang Kun's voice revealed a hint of approval. "Specific instructions and authority will arrive soon. Remember, be quick, accurate, and ruthless! Darian is now in your hands."

"Wait, boss! In an emergency, I can use all the weapons at my disposal to fight back, right?"

"Uh……"

Comrade Shang Kun thought about it and figured that it was already quite an achievement for this guy to have an RPG by his side. Although this thing was pretty powerful, the harm should still be manageable!

"Row!"

"Then don't forget to write this in your action plan!"

"Hey, this kid's picked up a lot of cunning from hanging out with intellectuals! That's all!"

The call ended, and a busy tone came through.

Old Wang slowly put down the receiver, lifted the quilt covering his body, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

He glanced at his secretary, Xiao Liu, who was also covered in sweat: "Hey, you heard that too, you can use any weapon!"

"Yes, yes, yes... unlimited firing rights, huh? With that order, you can even bring out the young lady and let her throw a tantrum!"

Secretary Liu answered casually, then began to write in her notebook: Add two posts to Jiang Xia's side, no, add three posts!

In addition, the Internal Security Department was notified to activate Contingency Plan No. 1, and to conduct covert surveillance on all departments and personnel within the base who may have access to Daota and related files.

Little Liu, the secretary, wrote diligently, unaware that Old Wang was also smiling happily.

"Hehehe, I can't get the young lady to come. But the second maid managed to get a few..."

……

In Jiangxia, Baoqiang was making him brown sugar water.

Deputy Political Commissar Chang, who had been hiding in a corner and trying to make himself inconspicuous, listened intently the whole time.

The words "gyroplane," "air-launched RPG," and "divine justice" sent chills down his spine, yet he dared not show them in the slightest.

At that moment, she secretly glanced at Jiang Xia, whose face was as pale as paper after coughing, as if he might break at any moment, and then at the bowl of watery noodles that had long since gone cold.

After hesitating for a long time, Deputy Political Commissar Chang finally shakily pulled out two cloves of garlic, carefully wrapped in paper and somewhat shriveled, from his worn-out old satchel.

He carefully peeled off the outer skin, revealing the fairly clean garlic cloves, and then gently placed them on the edge of Jiang Xia's bowl, his voice barely audible: "Jiang...Jiang Gong, eat some garlic, it'll help you calm down, and...it'll also refresh you."

"Oh, thank you!"

The atmosphere inside the small red building remained quiet, with only the soft sound of Jiang Xia eating noodles.

In the night sky over Phnom Penh, after hearing Jiang Xia's reply, Company Commander Tang and Squad Leader Ru were completely free of their worries, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Did you all remember the key points that Xiao Jiang just mentioned?"

"I've got it!"

"Attention all Mandrills! Plan changed! Abandon the original rappelling plan! 'Dragonfly' No. 1 and No. 2, ascend to attack positions, lock onto the main building and auxiliary structures! Use RPGs to carry out fire elimination! Pay attention to firing discipline and the direction of the exhaust flames! Let's give those bastards below a good 'hail of justice from the sky'!"

"Understood! 'Justice from Heaven'!" Several low growls, tinged with suppressed excitement, came through the communication channel.

Meanwhile, on the ground, at the core of the target area.

Phnom Penh, target area, underground hideout.

Zhang Peizhi paced restlessly in the basement.

The air was polluted, filled with the smells of mold, engine oil, and a faint whiff of explosives.

He sent Liu Yuncang to find help, but too much time has passed and there has been no news of him.

"Could something have really gone wrong with this 'pangolin'?"

His sinister gaze swept over the wooden crates piled up in the corner, which contained pre-packaged TNT.

"That shouldn't be the case... He used his connections with the U.S. embassy. In this day and age, who would dare to easily mess with someone associated with the U.S.?"

"Hey! They've probably gone to find the mother pangolin! Hey, team leader, the operation was a success, can we come along...?"

"Go to hell! Don't disturb my intelligence analysis!"

"Damn it!"
