Chapter 760 Come on! Let's fight to the death!
"This is a big problem! Should we report it to our superiors?"
After much deliberation, everyone agreed that Company Commander Tang's words made a lot of sense. Old Wang rubbed his chin, contemplating the worst-case scenario.
Don't forget that this guy is one of the most well-known figures in the "old nest". Although he's a bit of a fool, it depends on who he's in front of.
"This is definitely not just simple corruption and theft! Old Tang is right, this is a venomous snake that has become a demon! And, in my opinion—"
With the high level of vigilance and "presumption of guilt" mindset characteristic of the team members in the old hideout, Lao Wang lowered his voice: "Anyone capable of doing something like this is definitely not some petty thief! This method, this patience, this ruthlessness... it's absolutely a venomous snake! No, not just one, but a whole group! A swarm of snakes that has grown in strength!"
Old Wang took a couple of deep drags on his cigarette and started counting on his fingers, pushing the suspects in the worst possible direction:
"Those people across the strait are always thinking about sabotage and undermining us. Their spies are masters of this kind of long-term infiltration and sowing discord!"
"The Russians to the north have fallen out with us. They've amassed a million troops on the border and are resorting to underhanded and dirty tricks, using their overseas citizen cards to lure people into doing things that cause trouble. That's perfectly normal!"
"There's even a possibility that some of the spies and moles left behind by the Japanese during their defeat have been activated and haven't been completely cleared out!"
The more he spoke, the more alarmed he became. Finally, he took a deep breath and uttered his most terrifying speculation: "The more likely scenario is that these various scoundrels somehow managed to collude and form a monstrous gang! That would be a truly massive problem!"
After saying that, Old Wang spat inwardly. He had already cleaned it up last time, but at the time he was only focused on the guy with thick eyebrows and a high nose, thinking that those little rats wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. Now he'd been proven wrong...
"Old Tang, what do you think?" Old Wang asked, turning around when he saw that Company Commander Tang was not speaking.
Company Commander Tang didn't answer immediately. He crossed his arms, his sharp gaze sweeping across the intelligence summary on the table before finally settling on Jiang Xia. A smile appeared on his face: "I think all of Old Wang's analysis sounds damn familiar... doesn't it, Instructor Jiang?"
"Huh?" Jiang Xia was engrossed in working on a filtering algorithm when he heard this and looked up blankly. "Company Commander, what looks familiar?"
"Your special forces training syllabus..."
“Look,” Company Commander Tang also started counting on his fingers:
"Long-term infiltration and corruption to undermine the internal management and discipline of the target unit. Doesn't this sound like the chapters on 'covert operations behind enemy lines' and 'psychological warfare to demoralize' in your outline? The goal is to make the target rot from within and lose its vigilance!"
"Choosing key targets (gold), precise timing of the operation, clean and efficient methods, and skillful use of the environment to create chaos—this is exactly the modus operandi of 'special operations raids' and 'targeted eliminations'! Except they're 'eliminating' state property!"
"Afterwards, they actively spread rumors and created false impressions, such as Liu Shicai's active activities everywhere, and even possibly issuing reverse alerts to muddy the waters. This is a standard 'counter-reconnaissance' and 'battlefield deception' tactic! Used to mislead our investigation!"
"Even what Lao Wang said, that several forces might be colluding, isn't that exactly what 'unconventional warfare' emphasizes about 'integrating local opposition forces and building underground networks'?"
With each point that Company Commander Tang made, the atmosphere in the room grew more tense.
"Xiao Jiang, that 'Special Forces Training Outline' you produced, although it outlines how we'll deal with the enemy in the future, the tactics these people are using now look exactly like they've misinterpreted your 'scripture' to use against us!"
"These are no ordinary thieves; they are a well-trained sabotage gang that employs quasi-military methods, has strong hostile political motives, and aims far more than just eight hundred taels of gold!"
All eyes were on Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia himself was stunned. He hadn't expected that the tools he'd extracted from the system for strengthening the military would become a reference point for analyzing enemy tactics in such a bizarre way. This feeling was truly...
"Company Commander Tang, the document I wrote hasn't been leaked, has it..." Jiang Xia tugged at his hair, tilted his head, and spoke with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
"Don't worry, absolutely not! That document is classified as 'top secret,' accessible only to a very small number of core personnel, and all viewing records are verifiable. It's impossible for it to have been leaked from our side."
Company Commander Tang paused, then looked at Jiang Xia with a smile: "I just think that through this incident, we should all be more aware of and vigilant about the 'masterpieces' you've written. We used to think they were 'unexpected tricks' or 'long-range tactics' to deal with powerful enemies in the future, but we never expected... that the enemy might have figured them out on their own, or summarized similar things based on their own experience, and is now using them against us."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia's face first showed a very strange expression, as if he was suppressing a laugh or feeling a little embarrassed. He subconsciously scratched his head and vaguely replied, "Uh... well... the enemy is indeed quite cunning, we need to be more vigilant."
Seeing Jiang Xia's embarrassed look, everyone assumed that the boy was shy because of Tang's praise.
However, only Jiang Xia himself knew that he was actually embarrassed!
Because that "Special Forces Training Outline" and "Operation Manual" are actually a set of extremely efficient and vicious "asymmetric destruction" manuals summarized by the old troublemakers of Lobster Country in another time and space after hundreds of years of global colonial expansion and disruption, with countless blood and conspiracies!
Jiang Xia was just a hardworking porter...
However, Company Commander Tang's reminder was very correct!
Could there really be a shadow of Lobster Country? Although the timeline doesn't seem to match up, the thought still makes Jiang Xia somewhat uneasy. That's the grandmaster who can make "divide and conquer," "create conflict," and "cultivate proxies" into something extraordinary.
However, no matter how sophisticated Lobster Country's methods are, they are merely at the level of "tactics," pursuing how to cause destruction more efficiently. Our strategic thinking, on the other hand, like "On Protracted War," is based on the people, considers the overall situation, and understands the underlying principles—the "way"!
It's an open conspiracy!
They're not even in the same dimension...
But right now, the enemy is using these insidious "tactics," and they're damn effective!
Hmph! Let's see how our Great Dao crushes your treacherous ways!
Jiang Xia, his thoughts wandering, unconsciously raised his right hand, subconsciously adopting the classic "Great Dao Crushing" starting stance from a certain fantasy drama from later generations...
As he continued grinding, the embarrassment on the young man's face quickly faded, and he looked at Old Wang, who was imitating his movements, and said:
"The company commander is right. Regardless of how the enemy learned it, they are now indeed using a highly organized and professional quasi-military method to carry out sabotage. This completely changes the nature of the operation."
"Old Wang, during your report, emphasize the professionalism, organization, and clear trained characteristics of the enemy's actions, characterizing them as high-level enemy sabotage activities with a clear political objective! Request that the headquarters take this very seriously and dispatch specialized forces to support them!"
"Understood!" Old Wang nodded emphatically and immediately turned to walk towards the radio station.
Hehe, a simple project review turned into a counter-terrorism operation...
Uncle Li, Uncle Yang, I, Old Jiang, have avenged you!
“So, this line is your battlefield. My battlefield is this!” Jiang Xia nodded to Company Commander Tang and pointed to the blueprints on the table.
After everyone nodded and left, Jiang Xia once again bent down to sketch out the circuit diagram.
"Damn, the 'troublemaker' tactics of the Lobster Country are truly... universally applicable and ruthless! Even the people here... no, perhaps they haven't learned them, but it's just their nature? In the dark forest, do the hunters' thinking always converge?"
He shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions.
"Never mind all that, finding the gold is the most important thing!"
"Hehehe, with this achievement of finding the gold, I can at least get a few more photos with the old man, right? That's more valuable than any medal!"
