After dinner, since An Yuanchao and Tie Yu were both busy people, they left after saying a few words, leaving only Qin Fei at Old General An's house.
After the service staff finished clearing the dining table, the old general called Qin Fei into the study.
Since An Ruosu was not asked to come with him, Little Pepper could only drink tea under the grape trellis and wait.
Entering the room, the old general pointed to the chair next to the coffee table: "Qin Fei, sit down."
The old general is still very tough. He has served in the army all his life. He is 100% a soldier. He speaks simply, does not be long-winded, and does not beat around the bush.
"Have Ruosu told you?" the old general asked.
"What did you say?" Qin Fei straightened his waist and sat upright in a standard posture. Facing this senior with outstanding military exploits, he couldn't help but feel a little restrained.
The old general said: "I am meeting you this time to solve some mysteries in your mind."
Qin Fei's heart immediately turned violent. Indeed, the very important reason why he joined Unit 203 was to know what happened to his father back then.
"I want to ask, but I don't know if I have the qualifications. I know everything about Unit 203 is confidential."
The old general smoothed his silver hair and said with a smile: "It is indeed top secret, but it is not a secret to the people inside."
Qin Fei was shocked. Does the old general's statement mean that he has been selected?
It seemed that the arduous training was finally coming to an end. He believed that the old general in front of him must know the result. Maybe he had been paying attention to him from beginning to end.
"I……"
"What are you doing?" The old general took a sip of tea and his eyes fell on Qin Fei's face, "You want to ask me if I was selected?"
Qin Fei could only nod. Although the old general was old, he was not confused.
"According to Lei Ming's report, you were indeed selected." The old general said, "That is to say, in the near future, you will be an official member of the newly formed 3rd team of the 203 unit. I knew it when Wei Tiansheng found me before
Sooner or later there will be a day when you will definitely join Unit 203 because of the Anguo incident. You have been a very stubborn boy since you were a child, so I expect that one day you will find out the truth behind this."
"Rather than this, why don't I tell you myself." The old general said: "I don't think there are many people who know the story here better than me. Since you can pass the selection of Unit 203, I think before you are officially announced as a member
, I should have the responsibility and obligation to solve this mystery and remove the burden you have been carrying, otherwise it will be difficult for you to travel lightly in future actions."
"Really..." Qin Fei could hardly believe his ears. What he had been looking forward to for so many years was actually right in front of him: "You really told me everything?"
"Tell me what you want to ask. Here tonight, as long as I, an old man, can tell you, I will tell you. You are an adult, Qin Fei. There are some things you must learn to face instead of escaping from."
The general continued: "I heard that you broke two people's ribs in the reconnaissance camp because they scolded your father?"
Qin Fei's face heats up, this is a fact, and he has been removed from the list.
So he nodded, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"It is not an honorable thing to attack your comrades." Although the old general's tone was slow, it was full of majesty. "You are lucky this time. The military affairs department did not send you to a military court in the end."
Qin Fei was so embarrassed that he felt ashamed.
Being impulsive does cost yourself.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Just tell me, what do you want to know?"
"I want to know what mission my father disappeared on?" Qin Fei asked.
The old general leaned gently on the sofa and looked up at the roof. His eyes were so deep that he seemed to have traveled through time and space and returned to the past. After a while, he got up, walked to the bookshelf, flipped through it, pulled out a photo, and returned to the bookshelf.
Next to the sofa, put it in front of Qin Fei, then sit back on the sofa.
"Your father was conducting a cleanup operation back then."
The old general tapped his fingers on the photo on the table, "The story begins with the creation of Unit 203."
Qin Fei picked up the photo and looked at everyone on it. Suddenly, he found his father in the third row on the right side of the center of the photo.
My father was very handsome back then, wearing a first-generation camouflage uniform and a steel helmet with a camouflage hood. Judging from this photo, it is obviously very old. From the analysis of these clothes, this is not an ordinary army.
What surprised Qin Fei even more was that there were several leaders-like figures sitting in the first row in the center, and the leader was the old general in front of him!
"Is this my father?"
"That's right, your own father still doesn't recognize him?" The old general smiled, "This is the first generation member of the 203rd Unit. To be precise, it was in 1989, when the battle between the two mountains was over, and the 203rd Unit
The members of the first generation are the most elite personnel selected from the reconnaissance brigades of each army during the war and the counterattack."
"The concept of special operations was first proposed during the Liangshan War, but at that time it was still in the traditional sense. The purpose was to fight against enemy agents. It was not until after the turmoil in 1989 that our honeymoon period with a certain big country ended.
Your father proposed a new concept, and the report was handed over to me. After reading it, I was very shocked, and I also thought your father's concept was very advanced."
"According to your father's philosophy, we must create a true covert operations force with the purpose of safeguarding our country's strategic interests around the world, establishing our country's international image, and defeating some hostile organizations intent on subverting our country's power.
Stay out of the country, rather than passively cowering in defense at home."
This was the first time Qin Fei heard about the history of his father.
He never knew that his father, who was as strict as a drill sergeant in front of him, that father who often disappeared for a period of time for no reason, was actually the originator of the original concept of Unit 203.
The old general reached out and clicked on a few people in the photo.
"This is Wei Tiansheng, your current political commissar, and this is Director Lin Zhonghu, the current top military commander of your 203 unit. They are all members of the first generation of 203 unit."
"However, your father's disappearance starts with these two people."
The old general stretched out his finger and moved the photo to a brighter place. He took a look and seemed to find no one.
He found his reading glasses and put them on, sighing: "My eyes are getting blurry when I get old. Time is not forgiving..."
Putting on his reading glasses, he finally found the person in the photo.
He clicked his finger on the portraits of these two people.
"This, the one standing to the left of your father is called Thunder Dragon, the former platoon leader of the 13th Reconnaissance Brigade, a first-class hero, and this one, the one standing next to Thunder Dragon is called Fan Tianlong, also a member of the 13th Reconnaissance Brigade
The squad leader is considered to be Thunder Dragon's subordinate. Both of them are one of the first members of Unit 203, and your father was the chief military officer when it was formed, which is the position that Lin Zhonghu holds now."
"Thunder Dragon?" Qin Fei felt that the name seemed familiar.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed through my mind.
