Indian Ocean, waters northwest of Seychelles Island.
It's already early morning.
On the back deck of the "Barracuda", Qin Fei put down the telescope in his hand and sat down on a pile of ropes.
The ghost next to him handed over a cigarette.
Qin Fei bit his mouth, and Ghost took out a ZIPPO lighter and lit it for him, and lit one himself.
"Thank you." Qin Fei exhaled white smoke and said, "I never had the chance to say thank you to you tonight. If it weren't for you, all of us would have died tonight."
"You don't need to thank me. In fact, there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future."
At this time, the ghost had once again put on his tactical mask with a skull pattern. Just like before in Yemen, no one could see his true face.
This person's true appearance is always as mysterious as his identity.
Qin Fei believed that the ghost he saw in the car near the Tana Island Pier was definitely not his original appearance. Perhaps he was wearing a delicate silicone mask for disguise.
But Qin Fei couldn't understand why the ghost never showed its true face.
"How did you know we would be in danger?" Qin Fei asked.
Ghost took a puff of cigarette, glanced at Qin Fei and said, "Actually, you should thank your father, not me."
"My dad?!" Qin Fei was stunned.
"Yes, it was your father who sent us the information. Unfortunately, time was too urgent. After I got the news, you had already arrived on the island, otherwise I would have stopped you or used other methods." The ghost sighed and shook his head.
Wry smile: "This time, Fan Tianlong wins."
"Where is my dad now?" Qin Fei asked urgently: "Why doesn't he come to see me? Where has he gone for so many years? Don't you know what kind of life my mother and I live?
"
The ghost turned his head and looked at Qin Fei.
After a long time, he said: "Your father once told me that he was not a good father, but some people have to do some things. In this world, every country must have such people. Yes, for you and your mother
It is unfair to say that we have lost the family happiness we deserve, but if your father did not do this, maybe more families will lose the family happiness. Sacrifice may seem crazy and many people
What I think is stupid is that there is no shortage of smart people in this era, but there is a shortage of fools like me and your father."
Qin Fei's eyes were a little hot, his throat felt like it was stuffed with numbness, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
The ghost said again: "The reason why your father chose to leave you is not only because he gave up his small family for everyone, but also because Fan Tianlong was trained by him, and he had to end it all with his own hands. What's more, Fan Tianlong's
There is a huge force behind it. If it is not eliminated for a day, our country will face more threats. If you had been in his position back then, as the top operational commander of Unit 203, what would you have done?"
Qin Fei didn't know how to answer this question.
In terms of personal emotions, he is absolutely unwilling to abandon his loved ones.
But the ghost is right, there are too many smart people. If everyone thinks entirely about themselves, without sacrifice or dedication, what will happen to the country?
This is always a philosophical question.
Do you have a country only when you have a country, or do you have a country only when you have a family?
For Qin Fei, this question seems simple, but in fact it is not easy to answer at all.
Even when he first joined the army, his starting point was not simple. A large part of the reason was because he wanted to wash away the shame left by his father.
But when he found out that his father was not the traitor in the legend, he felt very confused and even a little lost.
The motivation that had always supported him to move forward, supported him to fight hard, and supported him to continue to explore the truth, seemed to have vanished in an instant.
The ghost saw the confusion in Qin Fei's eyes and patted Qin Fei's shoulder hard.
"Actually, your father is really proud of you. He told me that you really look a lot like him, a lot like him back then, and you are stronger and braver than he imagined. You want to see him now,
There is basically no possibility. His current position is very complex and important. Once he leaves, we may lose a very precious source of intelligence."
"I just want to ask, when can I see him?" Qin Fei asked stubbornly.
"I can't answer your question." The ghost's answer was equally simple and clear, "It's not me who has the final say, it's your father who has the final say."
"Since you can't even meet me, you still say you are proud of me?" Qin Fei's tone became a little angry, and years of grievances and sadness came to his heart. For a man in his twenties, he has not yet
He was so free and easy that he didn't care at all that his father left mother and son and disappeared for more than ten years.
"Do you know why he is proud of you?" The ghost sighed: "Actually, you are not the first person to propose your own ideas to Mr. An. Ten years ago, your father did the same thing."
Qin Fei's body trembled slightly.
It seems that the ghost also knows what he and Mr. An said.
That's a crazy idea.
Qin Fei instead went to the capital to find the old man. The idea that he had hatched on the way, before talking to Mr. An, he had no idea whether it would succeed.
Unexpectedly, Mr. An agreed immediately.
It turns out that I was not the first one to propose it.
"Your father initially pursued Fan Tianlong and planned to destroy the Black Sun Organization. He originally thought that the Black Sun Organization was just an underground criminal organization established by a top special forces member. However, a lot of intelligence came back, including some of Black Sun's actions.
It shows that things are not that simple. At first, many people thought that Black Sun was just a peripheral organization related to a certain CIA official, but later it was discovered that it was not the same thing at all. Behind Black Sun, there was a more powerful and
More powerful organizations, these people can even influence parliament and mobilize the resources of the military and intelligence agencies. They are not as simple as ordinary intelligence organizations or ordinary ** forces."
"At that time, your father faced two choices. One was to kill Fan Tianlong. On the surface, it seemed that Black Sun could be destroyed. However, that was just a temporary solution, not the root cause. As long as the forces behind it were not dug out for a day, we would not know about it at all.
Who is the opponent? Who is the opponent? They will also support another organization. The second is to break into the opponent's organization, obtain intelligence, fish for the big fish in the long term, and find the real enemy. If it were you, how would you choose?"
The ghost's statement made Qin Fei seem to have a more intuitive understanding of the dilemma his father faced back then.
A special forces commander must be more tactically rational.
Intellectually speaking, my father's choice was indeed the right one. But emotionally, he owed himself and his mother Liang Shaoqin.
After thinking for a while, Qin Fei asked: "So, your team was established by my father?"
