The wind was strong on the cliff, and the sky was extremely dark. The only sound was the crashing of the sea against the cliff face.
Lu Yuan looked at the cliff and was somewhat puzzled.
"Brother Lei, where's the mystery gift you mentioned? There's nothing here."
Lieutenant Colonel Lei smiled and pointed to the edge of the cliff, saying, "Keep walking forward and you'll see when you get there!"
Lu Yuan was a little puzzled. He looked at Lieutenant Colonel Lei and saw that the other party nodded slightly, and the veteran behind him also nodded.
"Don't worry, Lu Yuan, you'll see when we get there! Just keep moving forward!"
"Okay! What is it that's all so mysterious!"
Lu Yuan started walking towards the cliff. The further he went, the stronger the wind became. Lu Yuan could barely stand and could only hunch over and continue walking against the wind.
The distance of just over 100 meters felt like a 500-meter sprint to Lu Yuan, making him a little tired.
Finally, they reached the edge of the cliff. Lu Yuan was a little afraid of heights, so he crouched down slightly and peeked out.
At that glance, Lu Yuan felt as if his heart had been gripped in someone's hand, and his breathing became difficult.
“This…this…” Lu Yuan stammered to himself, then looked at it again to confirm.
Below the cliff, a snow-white warship was moored, with dozens of soldiers in neat uniforms standing on the deck. They stood there as if rooted to the spot, saluting in Lu Yuan's direction.
Ignoring the wind blowing him off again, Lu Yuan stood up and gave the other person a military salute.
At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Lei, who was in the distance, waved to Lu Yuan with a smile on his face.
"Alright, stop standing there like an idiot, come down with me! These are the members of our Grace Operation team!"
Lu Yuan quickly ran back.
"Lieutenant Colonel Lei, could this be one of the legendary Marines?"
Lieutenant Colonel Lei nodded: "That's right, but not entirely. Our military branches are quite diverse, but most of them are Marines, and there are also special forces and Navy personnel. Don't worry, with them, this ship-seizing operation will definitely not have any problems!"
"That's wonderful! I don't even know what to say!"
Lieutenant Colonel Lei smiled and said, "Then let's hurry up and develop the tobacco! We're all waiting for it! I still crave it after the last time I smoked it!"
Lu Yuan grinned and then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
"Don't worry, Brother Lei, leave the tobacco problem to me! I won't leave until I solve this problem for you!"
"Haha! That's good! I'll be waiting for your good news! Let's go and meet the members of this operation team!"
So, led by Lieutenant Colonel Lei, everyone went up to the deck.
After the introduction, Lu Yuan learned that this warship was their last trump card here. The warship had been hidden here all along, and no one had ever seen it. Moreover, the warship had always been docked in a relatively far place and would only return when it was on a mission.
The warships have been searching for other units recently, but haven't found any. They're running low on fuel, so they have to stay in port until the most critical moment.
Their decision to use warships to help Lu Yuan seize the ship demonstrates just how good their attitude towards him is.
"I can't believe it! I've only ever seen such cool warships on TV before. I never thought I'd actually have the chance to step onto the deck of a warship in my lifetime. It's like a dream!" Lu Yuan sighed as he reached out and stroked the barrel of the ship's cannon.
Lieutenant Colonel Lei said with a proud look, "That's right, this is our soldiers' most powerful weapon, and we must protect it!"
"Alright, hurry up and get into the command room to hear the news our reconnaissance team has gathered. The staff has also come up with a plan. Go take a look! And experience what it's like to be on a mission in the military!"
Lu Yuan nodded gratefully. He hadn't expected that not only would they help him get a boat, but they would also let him go on the mission with them. This was incredibly kind of them.
With excitement, everyone followed into the command room. Several officers in uniform saluted Lieutenant Colonel Lei, and then saluted Lu Yuan.
The veteran behind Lu Yuan whispered in his ear, "In the entire camp, besides Captain Lei who is a lieutenant colonel, the only other officer with the rank of colonel is you!"
Lu Yuan looked at everyone's shoulder insignia with surprise. Sure enough, his rank was second only to Lieutenant Colonel Lei. This made him realize that the weight of this shoulder insignia was not just the major it represented, but more so the trust these people had in him.
At the start of the meeting, several team members in charge of reconnaissance reported on their situation, while the staff presented their three plans, each with two backup plans, demonstrating their meticulousness and making Lu Yuan immediately appreciate the strength of the military.
"Alright, now that the plan for this Grace Operation has been finalized, we don't have much time left. I hereby declare that the Grace Operation has officially entered its countdown!"
Everyone stood up and saluted Lieutenant Colonel Lei in his wheelchair.
"I hope everyone can achieve a resounding victory and come back alive! When you return, I'll prepare a celebratory feast for you!"
After the meeting, Lu Yuan was assigned to the second team, responsible for searching for and bringing back the ships. There were eight people with Lu Yuan, and each of them had an eager expression on their face. They had obviously been waiting for the mission for a long time.
