Fang Zhenhua had no intention of relying on the Persians, so after replacing all the special forces' weapons with Soviet-made ones, he gathered the special forces soldiers together and began to plan the rescue mission.

This time, the special forces snipers have switched to Dragunov sniper rifles, and their assault rifles have been replaced with AKS-74Us.

Because this rescue operation will involve urban warfare, the AKS-74U short assault rifle, weighing only 2.7 kg, has greatly improved portability and concealment, making it very suitable for urban special operations.

Inside the embassy's main conference room, Fang Zhenhua gathered all the special forces soldiers for a pre-battle deployment meeting.

Eighteen special forces soldiers sat below, while Fang Zhenhua, the operation commander, stood in front of the map, holding a baton in his hand, and spoke.

"Khorramshahr is a border city between Persia and Babylon, just like me. It is the front line of the war between the two countries, and now that Babylon has launched a new offensive, this place is becoming increasingly dangerous."

"Comrade Gong Kaichen and his comrades are trapped here. Based on the intelligence provided by the Persian Revolutionary Guard, we have already set up an evacuation route in advance."

"This is the first time urban special operations has been conducted for the Wolf Fang Special Forces. I hope everyone can be in top form and complete this rescue mission. Are you confident?"

After hearing Fang Zhenhua's words, the 18 special forces soldiers stood up in unison and shouted loudly.

"Have confidence."

"In order to make the operation faster, we will use the Revolutionary Guard's helicopters for the rescue this time. The helicopters will land directly on their hotel rooftop."

To avoid alerting the Babylonian government, Fang Zhenhua and his group maintained contact with Persia, making it impossible for them to communicate with Babylon about this operation.

The Persian Revolutionary Guard deployed two Bell 212 utility helicopters specifically to assist the Wolf Fang Special Forces in their rescue mission.

The two helicopters took off from Rai and flew directly to Khorramshahr.

After the helicopter landed on the hotel rooftop, Fang Zhenhua and his entourage immediately disembarked.

The two Bell 212 utility helicopters were preparing to fly to the logistics base in Khorramshahr to refuel.

However, just after the two helicopters left the rooftop, two RPG rockets hit them directly.

With a loud bang, the two helicopters exploded into two fireballs in mid-air, tumbling downwards.

Another explosion rang out, and both helicopters were reduced to wreckage.

This scene shocked all the special forces soldiers. The helicopter had been blown up. How were they supposed to retreat?

"Captain, what should I do?"

Faced with Gao Dazhuang's question, Fang Zhenhua frowned slightly, but quickly organized his thoughts and spoke.

"Go down immediately and pick up Minister Gong and the others. We'll activate the second plan: retreat by land. Three snipers will seize high ground to create space for our retreat."

"Wild Wolf led two teams to scout out enemy activity along the retreat route."

"Hurry up."

After that, the special forces split into three groups, each carrying out its corresponding mission.

Gong Kaichen and his group stayed in room 7403. Fang Zhenhua led five special forces soldiers directly down the stairs to the 7th floor.

Fang Zhenhua knocked on the door and said.

"Minister Gong, this is Fang Zhenhua."

As the door opened, the faces of Gong Kaichen, Zheng Bingyi, and Pei Yihong appeared before Fang Zhenhua.

Upon seeing Fang Zhenhua, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Gong Kaichen went even further and said it directly.

"Zhenhua, you've finally arrived."

"Everyone, I'm here to take you back to Lay. Don't worry! With me here, there won't be any problems."

These words gave Gong Kaichen and his companions the greatest confidence, and all three nodded.

At this moment, Fang Zhenhua had the special forces soldier take out a black hood.

“The Babylonian army has already appeared in Khorramshahr. It’s not safe to go without a hood. Some things can’t be brought out into the open.”

"Zhenhua, you're right."

Without hesitation, the three put on hoods and, under Fang Zhenhua's cover, went down to the hotel lobby on the first floor.

But at that moment, soldiers from the Babylonian Republic Guard surrounded the hotel.

A company was responsible for surrounding the hotel because the Republican Guard had received intelligence that several people of East Asian descent were staying there.

This is Persian territory, why are there Easterners here?

Moreover, given the important cooperation between Babylon and the East, the appearance of Easterners in Persian cities is a sensitive issue.

Therefore, the commander of the Republican Guard ordered a company to be sent to conduct on-site reconnaissance and find out what was going on.

"Zhenhua, what should we do?"

Upon seeing this, Gong Kaichen immediately asked.

Fang Zhenhua raised an eyebrow and immediately came up with a solution.

"We're using Soviet-made weapons this time, so let's just shift the blame eastward, wipe out this whole company, and throw the mud at the Russians."

After finishing his sentence, Fang Zhenhua spoke to the three snipers through the walkie-talkie.

"I am the Wolf King. When the hotel launches its attack, I will immediately snipe the enemies outside the hotel."

"Wild Wolf, lead the soldiers back, attack from both inside and outside, and annihilate this company."

Self-interest is the most important thing.

Chapter 62 Allies

Fang Zhenhua initiated the attack.

When the soldiers of the Babylonian Republic Guard entered the hotel, he led five special forces soldiers and opened fire on the group of soldiers.

Meanwhile, three snipers hidden outside took turns sniping the Babylonian soldiers who were still outside the hotel.

At this moment, Gao Dazhuang also returned with two other special operations teams.

Under this pincer attack from both inside and outside, coupled with precise sniping, the Babylonian soldiers were stunned.

Thanks to the excellent matching system in the Middle East region, this group of untrained soldiers was annihilated by special forces in an instant.

Fang Zhenhua quickly led Gong Kaichen and the other two out of the hotel. According to the land evacuation plan, their first stop was the Persian Revolutionary Guard's base in Khorramshahr.

Not long after Fang Zhenhua and his group left, the commander of the Republican Guard arrived at the hotel. Looking at all the dead soldiers, his face turned ashen.

When the commander saw the 5.45×39mm rifle bullets on the ground, his face darkened even more. He was absolutely certain that this was the work of the Soviet Union, or that it was absolutely related to the Soviet Union.

Because this type of bullet is the one that the Russian army specifically used to equip the AK74 assault rifle family, it is very easy to identify.

Bullshit about Easterners, it's all the Russian bear's doing.

The commander reported the intelligence without hesitation, and Fang Zhenhua's plan to shift the blame eastward was successfully implemented.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhenhua had already led Gong Kaichen and the others to the Revolutionary Guard's base.

After boarding a military vehicle at the Revolutionary Guard base, Fang Zhenhua and his entourage returned directly to Lay.

When they arrived at the embassy, ​​Gong Kaichen and his group were clearly still somewhat shaken.

After all, strictly speaking, they were civil officials, and this kind of battlefield rescue was still exciting for them.

For example, the battle taking place so close to each other in the hotel lobby.

Gong Kaichen asked the ambassador to find a room where the executive team needed to hold a small meeting and a debriefing session.

The embassy room was filled with smoke; everyone had lit a cigarette, but no one spoke first.

It seemed everyone was waiting for one person, and that person was Gong Kaichen.

Gong Kaichen himself was well aware that this was also the purpose of his meeting, so he flicked the cigarette in his hand and then spoke.

"First of all, I am extremely grateful to Zhenhua. If you hadn't come to our rescue this time, we don't even know what the consequences would have been."

“It’s a small matter if we die, but if we are discovered by Babylonian soldiers and found in Persian territory, and if we affect the Babylonian government and our country’s military service plans, then we will be traitors to the party and the country.”

As he spoke, Gong Kaichen stood up and shook hands with Fang Zhenhua directly.

“Zhenhua, you not only saved our lives, but also our political future. I, Gong Kaichen, will remember this kindness for the rest of my life.”

Just as Gong Kaichen finished speaking, Zheng Bingyi and Pei Yihong stood up and shook hands twice more.

“Zhenhua, you are fully entitled to this great gift. Just as Minister Gong said, you have saved our political future.”

"Zhenhua, thank you."

Faced with the statements of the three people, Fang Zhenhua could no longer ignore them.

He stood up from the sofa and addressed the three of them.

“Minister Gong, Director Zheng, Brother Pei, we are a group, so we share the same fate. I believe I did nothing wrong. In saving you, I was also helping myself, wasn’t I?”

After saying that, he persuaded the three of them to sit back on the sofa. Gong Kaichen was looking at Fang Zhenhua, and no one knew what he was thinking.

But after a while, Gong Kaichen said.

"Among us, Zhenhua is the youngest. I am a few years older than all of you. Zhenhua just said something very good: the five of us are a group. We share the same fate, and we share the same fate."

"But politics is like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind. We've worked together for more than half a year, and we know each other very well. I'm quite clear about the abilities of you guys."

"As the eldest brother, I would like to make a suggestion. In the future, we should unite more closely, help each other, and make greater contributions to the Party, the country, and the people. What do you think, my brothers?"

Finally said it.

To put it bluntly, these people are now sworn brothers.

The relationship has reached this point; it would be a waste to maintain only a basic colleague relationship as before.

We're all shrewd people in officialdom; who doesn't know how important it is to have a close ally in officialdom?

What could be closer than those five people right now?

After Gong Kaichen finished speaking, Zheng Bingyi immediately followed up.

"Minister Gong is right. A single thread cannot make a line, and a single tree cannot make a forest. If we want to make more contributions to the Party and the people, we must unite firmly, clench our fists, think in the same direction, and work together towards the same goal."

No matter what, Gong Kaichen has a special relationship with Fang Zhenhua and Zhao Mengsheng.

His brother, Fang Yingda, was the teacher of both Fang and Zhao, so they were naturally on the same side.

Therefore, compared to Gong Kaichen, Zheng Bingyi is somewhat inferior.

However, Zheng Bingyi did not hesitate to join in at this time. In his heart, there was both the test of life and death that he had faced before, and he also had his eye on something else.

Background of Fang Zhenhua and Zhao Mengsheng.

Behind these two stood more than one elder, all of whom were ancient sages!

What reason did Zheng Bingyi have to refuse?

Zhao Mengsheng and Pei Yihong both turned their gazes to Fang Zhenhua, seemingly regarding him as the leader of their small group.

This was also influenced by Fang Zhenhua's continuous achievements after he went abroad.

Fang Zhenhua nodded slightly, then looked at Gong Kaichen and Zheng Bingyi.

"I wholeheartedly agree with what Minister Gong and Director Zheng said. To be honest, Director Zhao is my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law and I will definitely be working in the military in the future."

"So we still have some shortcomings in the government. If we can unite with Minister Gong and Director Zheng, and learn from each other's strengths, I think that in ten or twenty years, our strength will be more than enough."

Fang Zhenhua's purpose was already very clear at this point: he wanted to create a small group that spanned both the military and political spheres, with everyone closely connected and united, so that the group's strength would be even more formidable.

Fang Zhenhua was well aware that Gong Kaichen, Zheng Bingyi, and Pei Yihong were not only three future provincial party secretaries, but also one of the Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings.

Furthermore, given that he and Zhao Mengsheng were both in the army, the strength of this group was considerable.

Inside the embassy in Iraq, apart from Fang Zhenhua and his group of five, no one knew that a new alliance had been formed.

Chapter 63 Return to Beijing

The five members of the Spark Project execution team formed a closer camaraderie, greatly enhancing the team's combat effectiveness and cohesion.

Meanwhile, news came from back home that Gong Kaichen was to return to China to report on his work, and Fang Zhenhua was specifically asked to come along, while the others remained in Babylon.

In fact, it is well known in China that Fang Zhenhua made the greatest contribution to these two large military service contracts; without him, these two contracts would never have been made.

Beijing, Capital Airport.

After Fang Zhenhua and his companion got off the plane, they were immediately picked up by a private car and taken to the sea.
