Late at night, on the basement floor of the Security Bureau, the tactical command center.
Claire sat down at the end of the long black conference table, and An He handed over a tablet.
"According to your request, the list of members selected from the Qidao City Security Bureau branch to participate in this core role is here." An He said.
Claire swiped the screen to check the list and was a little surprised: "Only 18 people?"
"It is you who require strict background checks to ensure that all personnel involved in the operation will not be interfered by any external forces."
An He explained: "The background resumes of these 18 people are absolutely clean, there are no complicated social relationships, and none of their relatives work for oligarchic companies. The most important thing is that all members have a low degree of cybernetics and have electronic brains.
I have marked the names of the four people in red."
Claire nodded: "I noticed, this is indeed a list that meets my requirements."
"The instructor requested that personnel with a low degree of prostheticization be selected as much as possible to participate in the operation. Is it because he is worried about the other party's hacking skills?"
"Is today's incident a lesson enough?" Claire tapped her knuckles on the table, "Strictly speaking, this is the first time we have had a large-scale interaction with the Adventist sect since the arrest of the leader codenamed 'Yin'.
Fighting against each other, I don’t know what kind of transformation they have experienced in the past six months.”
An He's eyes were sharp: "Instructor, have you come to Qidao to bet your own future this time? We must win no matter what."
"This is natural, and I have confidence in it."
She continued the previous topic and said:
"The risk of electronic brains and prosthetics being successfully hacked is much higher than the security agency's systems. We rely on exoskeleton armor to make up for the gap in combat power with cybernetics."
"When performing a mission, I want all of you to switch the exoskeleton armor to offline stand-alone mode."
"If the other party wants to carry out an armed rescue, they will inevitably launch another hacker attack on the security bureau's system network. When the time comes, I will directly command at the scene."
An He nodded. Claire's personal participation in the battle had been planned for a long time. After all, she was responsible for tactical command when she was an instructor at the training camp in Starzhou City.
"Add one more person to this list." Claire said, "a1828 Sun Minghang, temporarily restore his A-level commissioner authority on the day of the operation."
"I heard that this guy's attitude is not very correct. Are you sure the instructor wants to use him?" An He was a little worried.
"Don't worry, I understand him. This kind of person can only show his true ability if he uses it in the right place."
An He said no more, she completely respected Claire's decision.
"By the way, let me tell you the truth in advance. The escort operation will be advanced." Claire called up the 3D sandbox map of Qidao City from the tablet. "The National Defense Force will also provide assistance, but we can't count on them too much." p>
"Ahead of time?" An He was slightly surprised.
"Instead of waiting for the other party to figure out our rhythm, we should take the initiative to disrupt the rhythm."
Claire marked on the map the sea cliff reception center where the "Yin" leader is detained and the dock in Area C of Hong Kong Island, which are the starting point and end point of this mission.
When An He saw the route on the map, his eyes widened involuntarily.
Circum-island high-speed train operating lines...
"Instructor, is this..." An He didn't believe this combat plan, "If the National Defense Force is willing to assist, wouldn't it be safer to take the air route?"
"It's indeed safer on the road, but it's hard to say when you land at the end. Take a look at the floor plan of the Hong Kong Island pier. There are seven landing sites in total, but none of them have the necessary safety." Claire shook her head.
Tou explained the reason why he did not take the air route.
An He looked at the map of the dock and the seven marked landing points, and agreed with Claire's view.
"In contrast, the Ring Island Expressway has a directly available station in Area C of the pier. I plan to use a modified single carriage to run at a speed of more than 300km/h, and the possibility of being invaded by the other party will be greatly reduced."<
/p>
"Got it."
"The members who perform the core tasks are divided into two teams. I am personally in charge of the Alpha team, and you will be in charge of the Beta team." Claire said, "The Alpha team set off on the first empty train 10 minutes in advance, and the Beta team escorted the target on the second train." "The instructor wants to personally implement the induction tactics?" An He dissuaded: "Let me go, my superpower is more suitable for fighting with the opponent."
"No, it is precisely because I value your ability that I need you to lead the Beta team to guard the target." Claire said seriously, "When the situation is irreversible, I want you to ensure that the target is killed."
The words An He wanted to argue were stuck in her throat, and the reasons Claire gave made her unable to refute.
In case the escort mission is frustrated, her ability "Split Domain" is the last line of defense to prevent the tiger from coming out of the cage. Claire entrusts this important mission to her.
"I want you to promise me that no matter what situation the Alpha team encounters, as long as you can continue to move forward, you will resolutely carry out the mission to the end."
Claire stood up, grabbed An He's shoulders with both hands, and looked closely at him.
"I promise you that my first priority will be to carry out the escort mission, and my second priority will be to secure the last line of defense." An He answered her meticulously.
"As expected of An Zhitian's daughter." Claire smiled with satisfaction, "I see the same determination in your eyes as the director."
……
North of the municipal district of Qidao City, the headquarters of the Fourth Aviation Squadron of the National Defense Force.
"Commander, a strange target signal was discovered at sonar station 1004." The staff officer on duty pulled out a connecting line from his prosthetic arm and connected it to the holographic projector.
A holographic projection of the northern area of Qidao City appeared in front of the commander of the National Defense Force, Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Lianchu.
"It looks like a giant marine creature? It's 120 kilometers away from the Haiya Conservancy Center." Jiang Lianchu rubbed the stubble on his chin and asked, "Why does the 1004 sonar station need a special report?"
"Monitoring personnel said that this detection target has been appearing repeatedly for a week, always wandering in a fixed area 120 kilometers away from the coastline, and its behavior does not look like a natural marine creature."
"Then what would it be if it weren't for marine life? A nuclear submarine?" Jiang Lianchu shook his head with a smile, very disapproving.
The staff officer on duty cautiously suggested: "The two vxf21s of Team 141 are conducting night flight training in the northeastern airspace. Can we instruct them to deviate slightly from the scheduled route and go to the target sea area for electronic reconnaissance? Just add a temporary training subject."
Jiang Lianchu nodded in agreement: "Okay, you are responsible for letting the control tower communicate it to the night flight training personnel."
"Yes!"
The staff officer on duty unplugged the data cable connected to the holographic projector and put it back into the prosthetic arm, conveying Jiang Lianchu's order to the control tower.
"The command tower is calling Team 141! The command tower is calling Team 141!"
"Team 141 received it, the night flight training is all normal, please provide instructions."
"Night reconnaissance drill subjects have been added, please go to the marked sea area immediately to conduct electronic reconnaissance."
