Chapter 50: Anran's Phone Call!
Three grid slots! Finally got my hands on them!
Qin Yuan was instantly overjoyed!
As of now, Qin Yuan already possessed seven available empty grid slots!
After we get back, I must properly enhance my strength!
Following a brief moment of astonishment!
Qin Yuan successively eliminated the furious Gao Shiwei, the dumbfounded Fan Tianlei, Chen Shanming, and the others!
He Chenguang and Li Erniu finally opened fire as well!
They began a frantic barrage of gunfire!
That is correct!
A barrage from 500 meters away!
After all!
Today's military exercise!
Strictly speaking!
Was originally intended as a test of the special forces' actual combat capabilities!
The outcome should have been a complete and utter crushing defeat!
However, right now...
Because of Qin Yuan's appearance!
This exercise, which should have been a one-sided steamroll, had its tides completely reversed!
Instead, the Red Force wiped out a large group of high-ranking brass from the Blue Force!
The smoke dissipated!
Fan Tianlei wore a bitter smile.
Chen Shanming was equally struck with bewilderment and shock!
In his wildest dreams, he never expected!
That the Red Force soldiers would eliminate their Number One at such a critical juncture!
Initially, their dissatisfaction with this exercise was merely directed at the high loss ratio!
Never did they anticipate that...
In the end, not only did they lose both the Lightning and Lone Wolf special operations teams!
They even had Number One and a multitude of senior officers wiped out as well!
This military exercise!
They had suffered a total defeat!
An extremely tragic defeat!
Unprecedented in its brutality!
Fan Tianlei! Report to my office once the exercise concludes!
Gao Shiwei's anger was absolute and unmasked!
His fierce, tiger-like eyes burned with intensity, radiating an overbearing pressure!
With a roar, he climbed directly into his vehicle and ordered his guard to head back!
Understood, Chief!
Fan Tianlei immediately offered a respectful salute!
There was no helping it!
Fan Tianlei knew full well!
A severe tongue-lashing!
Was completely unavoidable!
Sigh! I've truly lifted a rock only to drop it on my own feet! I prepared for this exercise for so long! All just to present the Chief with a satisfactory answer! Why on earth did I have to send that monstrous Qin Yuan to the Iron Fist Regiment? Wouldn't it have been better to keep him right here in Crimson Scorpion?
Fan Tianlei let out a helpless sigh!
Yet deep down inside!
He still felt a profound sense of gratification!
The source of that gratification!
Was having discovered Qin Yuan, this terrifying, super-tier anomaly!
Right now, however!
Fan Tianlei needed to confirm something!
Who exactly was the one firing from that distant vantage point?
He grabbed a sniper rifle from a soldier's hands!
Through the scope!
Fan Tianlei clearly saw Qin Yuan standing atop the chimney, flashing a bright smile right at him!
Standing beside Qin Yuan were He Chenguang and Li Erniu!
I never imagined it really was this kid!
Having confirmed that the culprit was indeed Qin Yuan!
Fan Tianlei felt that all of this was completely worth it!
A single man wiping out Lightning and Lone Wolf, while orchestrating an unprecedented decapitation strike! This Qin Yuan... both his marksmanship and combat awareness place him at the absolute pinnacle of existence!
He is practically the undisputed number one special operator in our Southeast Military Region! Calling him a God of War is no exaggeration at all!
Fan Tianlei felt immensely gratified in his old age!
Chief of Staff, should we send some men to teach those fellows on the chimney a proper lesson?
At that moment, Chen Shanming approached and asked in a deep voice.
There was no other choice!
To be decapitated by the enemy right inside their own headquarters, especially in front of the Chief!
This was sheer, unadulterated humiliation!
They simply had to teach those ignorant upstarts a memorable lesson!
Teach them a lesson?
Hearing this, Fan Tianlei quickly shook his head with a smile and said, Shanming, my boy! Those fellows are all going to be our precious treasures in the future! If someone accidentally roughs them up too much, who will take the blame?
Alright, go handle the aftermath! I'll take care of matters here on the exercise grounds!
Fan Tianlei gave a wave of his hand, dismissing Chen Shanming.
This military exercise had come to an end!
It was officially concluded!
The Blue Force had suffered a crushing defeat!
The Red Force had achieved a miraculous comeback!
It could without a doubt be called the most classic exercise in history!
He needed to properly digest and absorb the gains and losses of this operation!
History proves that future warfare is indeed a war of special forces!
The Red Force's victory wasn't due to overwhelming overall military might! It was entirely thanks to Qin Yuan, the tactical mastermind of special operations! A single man who turned the tide! Therefore... this victory by the Red Force can be attributed entirely to a victory of special forces!
Fan Tianlei's thoughts grew increasingly clear!
By the end, he had even managed to completely convince himself!
Haha... At least I have an explanation for the old Chief now!
The gloom on Fan Tianlei's face vanished in an instant!
His entire face beamed with joy!
Yet at that exact moment—
Fan Tianlei's satellite phone suddenly rang!
Hmm? Who could be calling at a time like this?
Very few people even knew the number to this satellite phone!
Chief of Staff, this is An Ran! The situation with the target has changed, requesting immediate backup!
The moment the call connected, An Ran's slightly anxious voice came through the receiver!
An Ran?
Hearing An Ran's words, Fan Tianlei snapped to full attention!
As an undercover operative within the Southeast Military Region!
Fan Tianlei actually placed immense importance on An Ran, who was carrying out this deep-cover mission!
After all, versatile female special operators like An Ran were few and far between!
Especially after that last incident...
When An Ran had nearly lost her life!
Fan Tianlei had even considered whether he should pull An Ran out!
And replace her with someone else to continue the infiltration!
But after much deliberation...
Fatty Liu's operation was about to enter its concluding phase!
Pulling An Ran out meant there was no suitable replacement ready on short notice!
Therefore...
Fan Tianlei had been waiting!
Waiting for an opportunity!
If possible, to wipe out Fatty Liu with the speed of a thunderbolt!
Violet, what is the current situation on your end?
Fan Tianlei asked in a calm voice, taking quick strides into a secluded corner.
Chief of Staff, the evidence against Fatty Liu has mostly been gathered! But now... Fatty Liu has decided to cooperate with the Japanese! They have made contact with a Japanese faction known as the Black Dragon Society!
Once their cooperation is finalized, Fatty Liu's strength will increase exponentially, and the difficulty of capturing him later will skyrocket!
I recommend that the Chief initiate the closing net operation right now!
With that, An Ran hung up the phone directly!
A sharp gleam flashed intensely in Fan Tianlei's eyes!
Initiate the closing net operation right now?
Fan Tianlei fell into deep contemplation!
He had indeed heard rumors about the Japanese Black Dragon Society!
That was an absolute behemoth of an organization!
If Fatty Liu were to forge a close alliance with them!
His influence along the border would become even more entrenched, potentially forming an overwhelming syndicate!
By that time, as their strength grew—
And with the assistance of the Japanese, they would undoubtedly become far harder to eliminate, inflicting even greater harm upon the nation!
Consequently!
Eliminating Fatty Liu... was a matter of utmost urgency!
In that case! Let us take action!
Fan Tianlei murmured quietly, then instructed Chen Shanming to summon the Lightning and Lone Wolf special operations teams for an emergency briefing!
