Lu Qi's action was like a sharp blade that could change the future, suddenly cutting through the sky!

Killing two enemies with stingers on their shoulders, avoiding the tragedy of AC-130 being shot down by stingers like in the original history, and preventing everyone from being trapped in the embarrassing situation of being surrounded by enemies.

Under the cover of fire from aerial gunships, Task Force 141 and Delta Alloy Team were able to successfully reach the evacuation point in the field and boarded the V-22 that came to respond.

As the rotors of the V-22 rotated at high speed and slowly lifted into the air, the extremists who came from all directions could only watch Lu Qi and others leave.

At this point, Operation "King Fish" came to a not-so-perfect end.

Fortunately, Price, who was supposed to be captured by the enemy during this pursuit and sent to the Gulag prison for several years, sat quietly in the helicopter cabin and watched Gates furious.

..

"Damn information!"

Taking off his peaked cap and scratching his messy hair, Gates' words were filled with uncontrollable anger:

"This is a fucking well-laid trap waiting for us to jump in!"

Compared with the angry Gates, Price was very calm. He just sat back in his seat and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, anyone who knows Price knows that the most terrifying time is when he falls into a long silence.

That means that Price is no longer willing to express his emotions with words.

He is more willing to think about how to relieve the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart...

How could Price, who had experienced a frontline special operations career for more than 20 years, fail to see that this "Operation Kingfish" was obviously a typical case of an intelligence error that led the operating troops into a trap set by the enemy!

He has seen too many actions that resulted in costly casualties due to intelligence errors.

The most shocking and costly incident was naturally the nuclear bomb incident in the Middle East a year and a half ago that claimed the lives of 30,000 soldiers and countless civilians!

Looking back, the earliest intelligence failure occurred was the Americans' pursuit of Al-Assad; the most recent one was the rescue of little Zakayev.

These several actions may not seem to have much connection, but if you look closely, you will find similarities.

That is: those in charge of intelligence work are all Americans!

Thinking of this, Price couldn't help but frown.

He suddenly felt that he seemed to have finally found the truth of the matter...

Not to mention that intelligence is inherently unstable. Analysis and research are needed to confirm the reliability of intelligence.

If we really have to wait for operators to conduct personal research before we can confirm the accuracy of the intelligence, then why do we need intelligence analysts?!

Moreover, it is also an intelligence department. When they were in S.A.S., the British side in charge of intelligence did not have such intelligence errors or leaks.

But after 141 was established and the command was given to the Americans, such flaws appeared?!

Not just once!

There is only one answer, and that is that the intelligence capabilities of the Americans are as good as a pile of air!

Beyond that, Price couldn't think of any other reason.

The unreliability of the intelligence caused them to repeatedly fall behind in the battles with the core group. There is only one way to reverse the situation:

Intelligence must be controlled by your own people!

Thinking of this, Price could not help but secretly make up his mind to start working on this matter as soon as he returned to the base...

...

After returning to Credenhill and bidding farewell to "Sandman" and "Frost", Price began his own plan.

It is simply impossible to replace the intelligence department of 141.

Task Force 141 is a rapid response task force specially established by the NATO alliance headed by Mi Ying to deal with the core group.

Although the force composition is mainly composed of S.A.S. members, plus a small number of special elites from NATO allies. However, both the operational command and the power to provide intelligence support for the operation are firmly controlled by the Americans.

To put it bluntly, 141 is a special force controlled by the Americans.

If Price foolishly proposed to Sheffield that the British side should be responsible for intelligence work, would Sheffield be willing to hand over this power? Would the Americans be willing?

The answer is obvious.

What's more, from the beginning, Price did not believe in Sheffield, an American general.

Instead of antagonizing the Americans over the control of the troops, it is better to find another way and find other methods.

And Price's method is to open up a new source of intelligence!

Since the intelligence from the Americans was unreliable, he applied to his superiors to set up an intelligence team to provide intelligence specifically for 141. In this way, the intelligence sources would be broader and more credible, and it would not undermine the cooperation between Britain and the United States.

protocol.

Just do it if you think of it!

The first person Price approached was his boss from many years ago—Nate McMillan!

After the Pripyat incident more than ten years ago, MacMillan, who lost a leg, turned to behind-the-scenes command work, gradually accumulated many years of merit, and became the supreme commander of S.A.S.

Upon learning the purpose of his old subordinate's visit, the old boss immediately patted his chest and promised without saying a word that he would not let the Americans send his good boys to death.

Following Macmillan's introduction, Price had a meeting with the Secretary of Defense.

After careful consideration and discussions with his staff, the Ministry of Defense quickly approved Price's proposal.

After all, most of the members of Task Force 141 are from Britain's most elite special forces, and the Ministry of Defense does not want its soldiers to be used as pawns by the Americans and pushed to death.

Driven by high-level government officials, this secret project is progressing rapidly.

Mi6, who is responsible for the British foreign intelligence work, also agreed to give the green light to this intelligence team and provide all the necessary equipment and funds.

With approval from superiors and everything being ready, the person in charge of this intelligence team is still undecided.

The person in charge of this intelligence team has three prerequisites. First, he must be British, secondly, he must focus on the interests of Task Force 141, and finally, and most importantly, he must be trustworthy.

When mi6 proposed to let one of its outstanding agents with good training and experience take on this task, Price refused.

Because, in his heart, he already has a suitable candidate...

...

On this day, Lu Qi was called to the office alone by Price.

"Sir, do you have a problem with me?"

After looking up and down at the young man in front of him, Price couldn't help but recall the scene when the two first met:

"And you, kid, are you in the wrong place? This is not a Boy Scout summer camp. You are not qualified to join S.A.S!"

"Sir, you can give it a try to see if I'm qualified!"

Unexpectedly, more than half a year has passed since then.

During the past six months, the young man in front of him gave him various surprises time and time again.

Unknowingly, Price discovered that Lu Qi had become a trustworthy teammate and partner around him...

Thinking of this, Price's eyes softened slightly, he slowly raised his head, looked into Lu Qi's black eyes filled with doubts, and said in a deep voice:
Chapter completed!
