Chapter 458: Knowing Yourself and the Enemy, You Can Win Every Battle

Therefore, they gave up their own small families to protect everyone, and endured unspeakable hardships in a strange land.

My home is right in front of me, but I can’t go back; my loved ones are there, but I can’t see them!

Even, you have to bear the stigma of being unfilial in your own hometown!
But, dear mom and dad!

It’s not that we don’t miss you, it’s not that we don’t want to go home, or it’s not that we don’t want to be with you two and enjoy the beautiful time with your children and grandchildren around you.

We really have no choice!

"Hey, I talked too much, sorry!"

The driver seemed to have just come to his senses, and said with a hint of apology: "It's been a long time since I met a fellow villager. I couldn't control myself for a moment. Please don't mind!"

"I'm the one who should apologize!"

Zhang Chuan felt guilty: "I used to think that being a special forces soldier was the hardest and most difficult job and that I was a hero of the country. Now I understand that people like you who dedicate their whole lives to the country are the real heroes!"

"What hero? Don't say that!" The driver waved his hand, "I'm just an ordinary citizen."

Common people?
If people with such backbone are considered ordinary people, then those people in the country who endanger the overall interests of the country for their own selfish interests are not worthy of being human beings at all!

"Haha, I feel much better after chatting with you!" The driver no longer wanted to bring up this topic: "Let's continue talking about the mission!"

"I'll follow your instructions!"

Zhang Chuan nodded seriously, and secretly made up his mind that after returning home, he must propose that these veterans return to the embrace of the motherland!
We can no longer let those who shed blood for our country shed tears!

This is the attitude that a country should have towards heroes, not an extra gift.

"I don't know what your specific mission is, but the headquarters has been asking me to pay close attention to some islands in the waters east of the Philippines. I guess it might be Emodo Island."

"Emodo Island? Do you know this place?"

Zhang Chuan was indeed a little surprised.

"What's so strange about this?" The driver said as if it was a matter of course: "I have been in the Philippines for more than 20 years. I can't eat for free. I have to do something for the country."

Yes!
Zhang Chuan nodded to show his understanding: "Then how much do you know about EMODO Island?"

"It looks like your target is really EMODO Island!" At this point, the driver's expression became serious: "I know that the headquarters specially sent you here from China, and the mission must be difficult, but I really didn't expect it to be EMODO Island!"

Zhang Chuan frowned.

Not only was the driver very familiar with EMODO Island, he also seemed to have little hope for his mission!

“Is there anything special about EMODO Island?”

"It's more than special! If it weren't for this place, I wouldn't say more. With your ability, you can handle it anywhere. But EMODO Island is completely different!"

"What's the difference?"

"There are bandits on other islands, but they are just guerrillas. On EMODO Island, there is a gang called the Apostle Organization that has been operating there for a long time. They have turned EMODO Island and several surrounding islands into their independent kingdom!"

“You may not know this, but even the fishermen in the Philippines call the waters around Emodo Island the Ghost Sea!”

"What it means is that no matter who enters there, if they don't become a ghost, they can't get out!"

Zhang Chuan was skeptical about this!

Sometimes, people who don't know the truth like to exaggerate unknown things.

"Any more specific information?"

Although you are confident, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

"You are impatient, young man!" The driver laughed, "I just gave you a general idea. I was just about to give you the detailed data!" "According to scattered intelligence and my analysis, there are at least 300 militants from the Apostle Organization on EMODO Island, and more than 500 technicians!"

"I don't know what they are researching, but the project is highly confidential and the confidentiality measures are very strict. It can be said that there is no leakage!"

“So, their research must be extremely important!”

Zhang Chuan is very clear about this.

What the Apostle Organization is researching on EMODO Island is a genetic lineage virus targeting the Chinese people, which is something that cannot be exposed!
But he couldn't tell the driver.

Because the driver is not within the scope of confidentiality, revealing it would be a leak!

"In addition, there are three small islands around Emodo Island, which are responsible for patrol, alert and security protection to prevent sudden attacks by official forces."

"That's all I know!"

"That's enough! Thank you so much!"

To be honest, the information provided by the driver far exceeded Zhang Chuan's expectations!

He originally planned to land on the island without any preparation, so obtaining this information was already an unexpected gain!

"As for weapons, I can only help you get a pistol. Although the Philippines does not strictly control weapons, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you should be careful with heavy weapons!"

"no problem!"

Zhang Chuan had no objection to this.

When we enter EMODO Island and need heavy weapons, we can just steal them from the members of the Apostle Organization. Zhang Chuan is very confident about this!
"Okay! Then I'll take you to the hotel first!"

The driver also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Chuan did not make any excessive demands, which made the driver feel very relieved!

"You are now my distant cousin. I will arrange a place for you to stay. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to apply for a job at the largest fishing company in the Philippines."

"They are in urgent need of manpower now. We Chinese are known for our ability to endure hardships and are very welcome!"

"Ok!"

Zhang Chuan didn't quite understand any of this, but he decided to follow the instructions.

The driver must have some skills to be able to work in this business for more than 20 years without any accidents.

After successfully checking into the hotel, Zhang Chuan was not very conspicuous as he was surrounded by tourists from China.

Time passed quickly, and before eight o'clock the next morning, the driver had already driven to the hotel where Zhang Chuan was staying.

Today, Zhang Chuan will join the fishing company as the driver’s distant cousin and officially start his mission!
The weather in the Philippines doesn't look very good. The sky is gray and it seems like it's going to rain heavily soon.

During the interview, Zhang Chuan actually had no idea what the driver and the HR department talked about.

When they arrived at the location, the driver quickly walked over, gestured to the HR manager, and said a few simple words to him. When it was Zhang Chuan's turn for the interview, he did almost nothing, but the other party readily let him pass.

It can be said that Zhang Chuan has completed the most difficult part of this task!
With this identity, he can enter the Emodao waters openly.

“This company often fishes in the waters only ten nautical miles from Emodao, but I’m not sure when they’ll go!”

On the way back, the driver chatted excitedly with Zhang Chuan: "According to their rules, they will visit there once every three days at most. By then, you can find a chance to slip away from the boat and go to Emodao. It shouldn't be a problem for you!"

"Thank you! I can handle the rest by myself!"

A mere ten nautical miles was nothing to Zhang Chuan: "If I suddenly disappeared, it wouldn't cause trouble for you, would it?"
