Chapter 1618: Gathering Intelligence
The art of war begins with knowing both yourself and the enemy, and to achieve that, one must acquire sufficient intelligence.
Jie has already dispatched a most elite reconnaissance unit, who have never disappointed him, always managing to bring back useful intelligence.
However, this time, after a full seven days, not a single message has been sent back from the reconnaissance unit, and others have also tried to contact them, to no avail.
The situation does not look good; if no news arrives, preparations for the worst-case scenario must be made.
Gu Fan starts to examine the map, and based on the weapon base’s location, he realizes that the area is full of continuous and undulating mountains, making it quite difficult to locate the base within these highlands.
"Where could it be?" Just as Gu Fan begins to lose hope in the reconnaissance unit and plans to take matters into his own hands, finally, someone receives a message from them—they have successfully completed their mission.
Jie lets out a sigh of relief; now that they have the intelligence, they can formulate a plan. Thus, he immediately orders everyone to set out, mobilizing almost the entire main camp, and even commands other troops from different locations to provide support. They must capture that weapon base at all costs this time.
Everyone becomes busy, loading supplies and weapons onto each vehicle—it’s the first time for such a large-scale operation, and the thought is both nerve-wracking and exciting.
Gu Fan is being lazy, not helping with anything; instead, he observes Gu Xiaojin with great interest, watching his precious daughter fume silently.
