In the dead of night, the bright moon rises over the sea, near Sheung Wan, Wan Chai, on the 16th floor of a high-rise elevator apartment with sea views.
Du Weiguo had just taken a bath. He was standing naked in front of the window alone, holding a cigarette in his hand. The green smoke was curling up, but he did not smoke. He stared at the sea in the distance in a daze.
Damn, I must go to this shitty country of a thousand islands, and I must avenge this bloody feud.
In fact, Du Weiguo has been planning this matter for more than a day or two. His current identity is a ghost that no longer exists. Even if it breaks the sky, it will not bring any burden to China.
If one man is the enemy of the country, the consequences are unpredictable. Du Weiguo had always been thinking about Yang Caiyu who was far away in Sijiu City, so he always stood still.
Now, the big fox told him that Caiyu had regained consciousness and would be back to normal within half a year. His old friends and relatives also had a place to live, and Du Weiguo no longer had to worry about him.
It’s time to go big!
"Jingle Bell!"
The phone in the living room rang suddenly, interrupting Du Weiguo's contemplation. He raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was already early in the morning. What could Reina do to him?
During the six months that Du Weiguo stayed on Hong Kong Island, he always lived alone, and only occasionally went to the villa in Saigon. As for Zhao Yingnan, he only sneaked in after dressing up.
Reina was the only one who knew the specific address and phone number of his apartment. She had no choice but to do so. Hong Kong Island was her home ground and she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.
Du Weiguo put out the cigarette butt, walked quickly to the living room, and answered the phone. On the other end of the phone, Lei Na said anxiously:
"Wesley, it's great that you are back! I have an urgent mission here. This time, you have to help me no matter what!"
Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo couldn't help but frowned. He was recently planning to go to the Thousand Islands Country to cause a scene. At this juncture, what urgent task did Reina suddenly ask him for?
Is it so small? Du Weiguo couldn't help but feel suspicious. Is it really such a coincidence?
"Rena, what kind of mission is it? Is it so urgent?"
Du Weiguo's tone was a bit low, while Reina's tone was urgent:
"You can't say it on the phone. Well, Wesley, I'll go over to you right now and let's talk in person."
Reina hung up the phone without further explanation. Du Weiguo slowly put down the phone and gently rubbed the stubble on his chin.
England also played a very disgraceful role in the Thousand Islands Country incident and was considered one of the important behind-the-scenes pushers, while Reina was the person in charge of special affairs in Asia at the time.
Du Weiguo's face darkened, he opened a box of brand-new filter-tipped red pandas, lit one, and exhaled the smoke leisurely.
This kind of golden mouth and black rod has a lifespan of 100 years. It sells for 62 Hong Kong dollars per box on Hong Kong Island. According to the current exchange rate on the black market, it can be exchanged for almost the same value in RMB.
Filter-tipped Red Panda cigarettes are specially supplied, and although they are rare, they can occasionally be found in Pigeon Market in Sijiu City, costing about 8 yuan a box.
From the price point of view, this centenary life is much higher than that of the red panda, but in Du Weiguo's opinion, it is completely inferior in terms of taste and emotion.
Du Weiguo placed two boxes of cigarettes side by side on the coffee table. The black and gold packaged cigarettes have a life span of 100 years and are full of nobility, high-end and classy. The white packaged special red panda cigarettes don't even have a trademark. They are unpretentious and slightly crude.
Du Weiguo muttered to himself in a faint tone:
"Rena, I really hope you don't become my enemy~"
A moment later, Lei Na rushed over in a hurry. As soon as she entered the door, she impatiently pulled Du Weiguo out:
"Wesley, hurry up, the situation is urgent and there is no time. I will explain the specific mission briefing to you slowly on the way."
Du Weiguo's arm shook slightly, and he broke away from Reina's arm, speaking calmly:
"Reina, no matter how urgent this task is, it is still your task. You have to explain it clearly. It is up to me to decide whether to accept it or not."
Lei Na noticed that Du Weiguo's expression was different and couldn't help but frowned:
"Wesley, what's wrong with you? Why are you so different from before?"
Du Weiguo closed the door with an expressionless face, slowly sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette again, and said in an unhurried tone:
"It's okay. I just returned to Hong Kong Island this afternoon, but you asked me for an emergency mission at night. Reina, is this too much of a coincidence?"
Upon hearing this, Reina looked a little surprised, and then said aggrievedly:
"Wesley, do you suspect that I'm spying on you? I don't. I didn't know you came back today. I started calling you every hour at 5 pm. You just received the call.
That’s it, there are records in the telephone exchange, you can check it yourself!”
Lei Na was half-serious and half-false, and her eye circles were a little red, but they were all good actors with superb acting skills, so Du Weiguo was naturally unmoved.
"Okay, Reina, let's not talk about this. First, please tell me, what mission are you trying to carry out when you are so anxious to find me?"
Reina seemed really angry, but she had business to attend to, so she still answered Du Weiguo's question, but in a muffled voice:
"Search and rescue mission."
Du Weiguo's tone was as steady as ever: "Where? Who is it?"
"Quiana, search and rescue target Burne Rodriguez, former Governor of Quiana."
"Quiana?"
When Du Weiguo heard this strange place name, he couldn't help but frown. He had been studying and supplementing his knowledge in the past six months, claiming to be proficient in geography, but he had never heard of this place.
"Quiana, is this the name of a country or a city? Where is this place?"
A smile flashed across Reina's eyes. She tried hard to adjust her emotions and answered as calmly as possible:
"Quiana is a small country located on the northern coast of South America. It has a population of less than one million. It was formerly a British colonial province and it just became independent last year."
Du Weiguo's expression was a little playful and his tone was teasing:
"South America, the Amazon rainforest, a British colony that just became independent last year, searching and rescuing the former governor? Reyna, are you sure you are not kidding me?"
Lei Na didn't know why. Listening to Du Weiguo's sinister tone, her expression became ugly and her brows furrowed:
"Wesley, I don't understand what you mean?"
Du Weiguo slowly exhaled the smoke, with a joking expression, and changed the subject:
"Rena, let me ask you a question. I hope you can tell the truth."
His tone carried an air of coldness and murderousness that could not be concealed. Reina couldn't help but look solemn and asked in a deep voice:
"what is the problem?"
Du Weiguo's eyes were blazing, his tone was deep, and he asked word by word:
"Rena, on September 30, 1965, that shocking tragedy happened in the Thousand Islands Country. Were you involved in it?"
Upon hearing this question, Reina was stunned for a moment, and then her tears fell down, and her tone was extremely desolate:
"Wesley, it's true that I am the special agent in charge of MI6, but when have I ever shown the slightest hostility towards you or towards China?
Throughout July of 1965, you were causing trouble in Hong Kong Island. I was shot twice by Bai Jian for you and almost died. Do you think I have the time and energy to plan things in the Thousand Islands Country?"
When it came to the end, Lei Na had already shouted out, with tears streaming down her face. She felt extremely wronged, and Du Weiguo silently counted the time.
This seems to be the case. In 1965, because of the Bai Jian incident, he spent the entire July in Hong Kong Island and did not leave until August.
Reina did receive two shots at that time. Although they were both penetrating wounds and not serious, it was absolutely impossible to recover in a short period of time.
Moreover, Reina was involved in a lawsuit at that time, and it was indeed impossible to escape easily for a while. The tragedy in the Thousand Islands Country must be planned for a long time.
In this way, Lei Na should indeed have not participated in the incident in the Thousand Islands Country. He wrongly blamed her. Du Weiguo's tone became gentle:
"Rena, you know, I hate this matter very deeply, I just don't want us to be on opposite sides~"
Reina wiped her eyes hard and said in a vicious tone:
"What? If I was involved in this matter, would you kill me? Wesley, is that bitch Natasha sowing discord?"
Lei Na's tone was stern, her eyes flashed with murderous intent, Du Weiguo raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms:
"No, Reina, if you are really involved, I won't kill you, I will just leave Hong Kong Island and never see you again!"
Upon hearing this, Reina's face brightened slightly:
"Hmph! It must have been that bitch Natasha who instigated it. Otherwise, why would you suddenly ask me about this matter? The CIA and MI5 were responsible for this matter in Indonesia at the time. I knew nothing about it.
"
"MI5? Military Intelligence Five? Aren't they mainly conducting internal self-examination?"
Du Weiguo was a little surprised. He knew about MI5. This intelligence department, whose full name is the British National Security Agency, has a close relationship with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is mainly internal.
The MI6 service to which Raina is affiliated has a close relationship with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is mainly responsible for overseas intelligence service work.
Reina curled her lips and said in a disdainful tone:
"Those insidious people in the 5th Department are not very skilled, but they have evil intentions. They are in cahoots with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Finance.
Under the guise of national security, they engage in economic turmoil and regime subversion all day long, and the results get worse and worse!"
Du Weiguo grinned. It seemed that MI5 and MI6 were enemies rather than friends. There was disagreement between the two departments. At least Reina had a lot of resentment.
But this was a family matter, and Du Weiguo didn't bother to care about it. He would just beat the human brain into a dog's brain, as long as Reina was not his enemy.
Otherwise, the feeling of sleeping with the enemy would be too fucked up. Du Weiguo changed the subject:
"Okay, Reina, let's talk about this rescue mission in America? It's a small country that only became independent last year. Your local power should not be weak.
Is it worth such a big fight? You can’t wait to ask me to set off from Hong Kong Island to carry out some kind of search and rescue mission?"
At this time, Lei Na suddenly punched Du Weiguo in the chest:
"Wesley, you bastard, you almost forgot the main thing when you interrupted me. Come with me quickly. If you're late, you won't be able to catch the plane."
An hour later, Du Weiguo boarded the latest Belfast C-1 airborne transport aircraft, took off from Shek Kong Airport on Hong Kong Island, and headed west.
This is one of the coolest transport aircraft at the moment, the light of British military industry. It is still noisy, but it no longer affects the conversation.
During the bumpy journey, Du Weiguo had already roughly understood the mission briefing:
The last British Governor of Guyana, Burne Rodriguez, resigned from office and took a small plane from Georgetown to Caracas, Venezuela two days ago.
During the flight, his plane suddenly lost contact and disappeared into the rainforest between Georgetown and Caracas.
The plane crashed in an uninhabited area of the Amazon jungle. Both Venezuela and Guyana refused to search and rescue.
This job naturally fell to MI6, so Lei Na volunteered and took Du Weiguo on the mission.
Eight hours later, Du Weiguo had arrived at Trincomalee Airport in Sri Lanka. After some repairs, the plane was filled with fuel and continued to take off.
Ten hours later, the plane arrived at Banjimboko Airport in Central Africa and rested here for six hours. At the same time, Du Weiguo also received the list of weapons and equipment he listed.
Two FN35 automatic pistols equipped with silencers. This kind of pistol is an automatic pistol with a large 13-round magazine. Du Weiguo has been coveting it for a long time.
Although the two flower-mouthed pokers he is currently using are convenient, the magazine capacity is only 7 rounds, which is really not enough to keep up with his needs.
In addition to pistols, Du Weiguo also bought two Uzi submachine guns equipped with silencers, several magazines, and a large number of bullets.
There is also an AKM drum-type automatic rifle with a silencer, 10 spare drums, 16 offensive explosive grenades, 16 white phosphorus grenades, and 6 broadsword mines.
In addition, there is a ceramic insert body armor for the US Army that will be installed this year, a matte Ontario jungle machete, a camouflage jungle combat uniform, and high-top tactical leather boots.
With these items, not counting other tactical accessories and supplies, the load has exceeded 45 kilograms. Damn it, Du Weiguo is a bargain hunter. Of course, the more high-quality weapons and ammunition that cost nothing, the better.
Last time in Japan, he had a "violent" fight with that damn Jiuju sect leader, and Du Weiguo's ammunition was seriously consumed.
Besides, in half a year, Du Weiguo had already freed up the space. In addition to some food, clothes, and small cigarette items, he also kept various currencies with a total value of about two million U.S. dollars.
The remaining space was filled with weapons and ammunition, and the quantity was huge, so to speak, based on Du Weiguo's marksmanship and skill.
With the weapons storage in space, he can massacre a town of tens of thousands of people, or kill an entire army division.
Reina was sitting on the plane, looking at Du Weiguo who was carefully checking the bullets and loading the magazines, as if he were looking at a monster.
"Well, Wesley, our trip to Guyana this time is a search and rescue mission, not to destroy the country. Why do you bring so many weapons and ammunition?"
Although Reina was a bit exaggerated, it was not unfounded. Du Weiguo's lion opened his mouth wide and could kill no less than thousands of bullets, plus grenades, incendiary bombs, landmines and other explosives.
According to his ability, in a small country with a total population of only a few hundred thousand, he can really wipe out the armed forces.
Du Weiguo did not raise his head, still focused on loading the spare magazine, and said casually:
"Didn't you say that the political situation in Guyana over there is unstable and the public security is chaotic? It is also very hostile to you, England. If a group attacks, I will bring more bullets to protect you."
Reina couldn't laugh or cry:
"Protect me? Please, boss, there are only more than 1,000 regular troops in Kuiana. Their strongest firepower is mortars. Do you still want to occupy a country by yourself after wiping them all out?"
Du Weiguo raised his head and glanced at Lei Na, laughed, and teased in a teasing tone:
"Hey! It's not impossible, Reyna. How about I capture this country and give it to you, so that you can become the Queen of Quiana."
Reina flattened her mouth and said angrily:
"Queen? In a country of hundreds of thousands of people, the country is small and the people are weak, and they are so poor that they can't even put on their pants. How can such a queen not make people laugh out loud!"
Du Weiguo put the loaded magazine into his backpack, clapped his hands gently, and said in a questioning tone:
"Rena, can this old man named Burne Rodriguez really become the next Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs? It's worth paying such a high price for you."
Needless to say, Reyna's deal is really generous. As long as she finds this old man named Burne Rodriguez, whether he lives or lives, he will receive a full 3 million pounds and enough weapons and equipment.
During this period, the pound sterling had gradually declined with the afterglow of the empire on which the sun never set, but a skinny camel was bigger than a horse.
In 1967, the exchange rate of pounds to dollars was still stable at over 1:2.5, and 3 million pounds was equivalent to more than 7.5 million U.S. dollars!
Moreover, the total duration of the task does not exceed 10 days. The time is short and the offer is large. How the hell should I refuse?
Reina nodded with a firm tone:
"Well, that's right. Mr. Byrne has passed the cabinet resolution and will be appointed as the Minister of State for Asian and Pacific Affairs. Within three years, he will be appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs."
Minister of State for Asia and the Pacific, oh, listen, what a bluffing name! To this day, Britain still cannot let go of its airs as an empire on which the sun never sets.
However, Du Weiguo changed his mind and frowned:
"Rena, if you go by what you said, why would a big shot like Bourne work in a place as insignificant as Quiana?
Is this so obviously an exile? Moreover, in such a place, he messed up! They are already independent."
Reina's eyes flickered, but she still told the truth:
"Mr Byrne previously served as the last Governor-General of India and New Zealand, and also served as Secretary of State for International Trade.
But then it fell into decline and took a long break. It didn’t pick up again until 1965. At that time, Kuiana had begun to become autonomous, and Mr. Byrne came here specifically to finish it off~"
The amount of information contained in Lei Na's words was very large. Du Weiguo smacked his lips for a long time, his eyes became sharp and his tone became solemn:
"Rena, what secret does this old man have?"
Lei Na was stared at by Du Weiguo's piercing gaze, which made her heart tremble. She subconsciously looked away. After a long time, her face became very embarrassed:
"Wesley, you are like this~~"
Du Weiguo's tone was rough and he interrupted Reina directly:
"Rena, you need to understand one thing. I am just an individual now and have no political stance, but I must be clear about the mission goals. At the same time, I must also consider the enemies I may face!"
Reina was silent for a long time before making up her mind and said softly:
"Mr. Bourne does have a top-secret document on his person."
Du Weiguo didn't speak, he just stared at Reina with burning eyes. Her expression changed several times and she bit her lip:
"It is the distribution of rare minerals in the Americas."
Du Weiguo's tone was joking. A big man like Bourne would naturally not be so superficial and stare at gold, silver and gems.
Strategic mineral resources are far more valuable to big countries than gold, silver and gems. Reina sighed, her tone trembling a little.
"Yes, these are available. They are rare strategic minerals in the Americas that have not been announced to the outside world."
"Shh~"
Du Weiguo raised his brows and whistled in a frivolous tone:
"Rena, you MI6 only paid me 3 million pounds for such an important thing. Are you really too petty?
If you sell this thing to a bald eagle or a polar bear, it will cost you at least 100 million. Aren't you afraid that I will take advantage of the money and kill people and steal the goods?"
