Putting His Affairs in Order
Colonel Phillips, with an "I knew it" expression, rolled his eyes as he sat in his seat.
Steve and Carter immediately stood up and shouted.
"Yes, Commander!"
After finishing his speech, Chen Mo turned and walked out of the conference room. As the mastermind behind the scenes, he had no interest in reporting to these people. Battle plan? It wouldn't be too late to formulate it before the battle.
Steve and his companion followed Chen Mo out of the conference room, leaving a room full of officers looking at each other in bewilderment. Finally, they all turned their gaze to Colonel Phillips, who was sitting at the front.
"Colonel? This..."
Colonel Phillips rolled his eyes inwardly again, but he had to explain for Chen Mo, since they were all on the same side.
"Commander Chen Mo's style of doing things has always been like this, swift and decisive. He has always been in full charge of the Special Operations Team's operations, and the specific combat plans are usually formulated on-site based on the actual situation, with him making on-the-spot decisions."
"Commander Chen Mo's strength, decision-making, and command abilities are beyond doubt, and everyone is very clear about his past achievements. So, we just need to wait here for his good news."
Everyone nodded in agreement. The legend of Special Operations Team Commander Chen Mo was known to everyone in the Allies forces. As high-ranking officers, they naturally knew more about him than ordinary soldiers and had full confidence in Chen Mo.
Indeed, under Chen Mo's leadership, the Special Operations Team easily eliminated the HYDRA Legion on the perimeter, rescued a large number of civilians and prisoners inside the factory, and destroyed the HYDRA Weapon Factory.
Originally, Chen Mo could easily take down several HYDRA base on his own, and now with Steve and Carter on board, it's even easier.
Using Chen Mo's usual tactics, the three first infiltrated to sabotage and disrupt HYDRA's deployment. After eliminating most of the high-powered threats, the Special Operations Team launched a surprise attack and completely crushed the HYDRA forces.
Steve and Carter, one a melee fighter and the other a ranged attacker, worked together seamlessly, their efficiency in killing enemies not much less than Chen Mo's. The three of them cooperated and attacked from both sides, their offensive speed soaring, and they were able to quickly break down the HYDRA Legion's resistance.
Headquarters did not slacken its intelligence work. HYDRA was in a hurry to transfer a large number of personnel, and it still left many traces. New HYDRA factories and bases were discovered.
The Special Operations Team didn't have much time to rest either. Often, as soon as a battle ended, they would immediately rush to the next base to continue fighting. One HYDRA base after another was destroyed, and a large number of civilians and Allies prisoners were rescued.
Several months passed quickly. After this period of intense fighting, guided by precise intelligence, the Special Operations Team had almost wiped out all the HYDRA base in Europe, except for the HYDRA "headquarters" which had not been found and was also the largest and most well-hidden of all the bases that Chen Mo had abandoned.
The leader of this base is Baron Strucker fought a major battle with Chen Mo at the Krausburg base.
Chen Mo moved the construction of the Valkyrie Goddess here, which also reignited Baron Strucker's ambitions that had been suppressed by Schmidt. This was exactly what Chen Mo needed, and everything was proceeding according to his plan.
But Chen Mo didn't rush to attack this place. In the movie, Dr. Zola's plan to deal with Captain America failed, and he was captured. Under the threat and intimidation of the Colonel, fearing that Red Skull would eliminate him, he revealed many secrets of HYDRA, including Red Skull's World-Ending Plan and the location of the Alps Headquarters.
Now, although he is in a hurry to complete the construction of the Goddess, Baron Strucker is still protecting his last base very well, and the Intelligence Department has not been able to find its exact location.
However, Chen Mo, through HYDRA's Intelligence Department, kept abreast of the base's detailed situation and would decide when to expose the "headquarters." Now was not the time.
Having wiped out almost all of HYDRA's forces and bases, the Special Operations Team was temporarily relieved of their burdens. The remaining large-scale battles were beyond the control of individual forces.
Previously, HYDRA forces had only gained the upper hand in small-scale battles in areas with complex terrain that made large-scale mechanized warfare impossible, relying on their technological advantages. These complex conditions were also perfect for Chen Mo to unleash his powerful personal strength.
The current battlefield is different. It is no longer a few hundred soldiers, a dozen tanks and armored vehicles, but tens of thousands of soldiers and a mechanized force like a steel torrent.
Whether it was the carpet bombing by heavy artillery clusters or the concentrated fire from hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, it was something he could hardly avoid or withstand.
In a battle of this scale, Chen Mo would be completely suppressed, only able to protect himself, and unable to advance easily, kill enemies, and turn the tide of battle single-handedly as before.
Therefore, the Special Operations Team was temporarily idle, only occasionally carrying out some special operations, such as infiltration, assassination, decapitation, and rescue operations. In many cases, Chen Mo did not even need to take action; Steve and Carter could complete the tasks independently with their Special Operations Squad.
Chen Mo euphemistically called it training, and it was indeed true. With Chen Mo around, the Special Operations Team basically only had the role of cleaning up the mess, and there were no tough battles to fight. Although it was easy and safe, these elite soldiers also wanted to prove themselves.
After this period of independent combat without Chen Mo's protection, several individuals have indeed distinguished themselves and earned the recognition of the Special Operations Team through their own strength.
Moreover, these people are all acquaintances.
Bucky, who has been by Steve's side throughout the battle, is the vice-captain of the Howling Commandos. He has performed exceptionally well in several solo missions, demonstrating strong command abilities.
Huang Quan, Han Qing, and Luo Zhen initially worked under Chen Mo, operating with his direct Special Operations Team. Although they hadn't undergone any enhancements, their combat capabilities far surpassed those of the other team members.
Later, Chen Mo simply let them each lead a group of soldiers into battle. After all, they were soldiers personally trained by Chen Mo, and they were not only strong but also deeply influenced by Chinese culture and military strategy, so their combat performance was outstanding.
Chen Mo appointed the four of them as new squad leaders, and each of them selected men to form their own squad. The framework of the Special Operations Team was basically determined. Chen Mo, as the Commander, set up six Special Operations Squad, each led by a captain including Steve and Carter.
Of course, Carter and Steve held higher positions than the other four, serving as deputy Commander of the Special Operations Team and in charge of the Special Operations Team's operations when Chen Mo was absent.
Chen Mo has already begun making arrangements for his funeral; the day he leaves this world is not far off.
