Captain You's words can be said to be well-founded. They are not just empty talk. Instead, they bring the topic to the competition with the Star City team, which makes them appear credible.
Purely beautiful words would obviously be unconvincing, and Captain You didn't think he could convince the two commanders with empty words.
But if you combine the topic with Xingcheng's original grudges, this kind of rhetoric becomes much more convincing.
Who doesn’t know the conflict between our Hengcheng team and the Star City team?
Okay, even if we obey the overall situation now, are willing to admit defeat, and step back from the brink, we still have to save face, right? We want to get our lost dignity back. Isn’t that convincing?
With such an answer, even General Zeng couldn't say anything else.
Li Yuntao's invitation was naturally declined. And Li Yuntao was too embarrassed to persist.
If you persist, you will go against the person's subjective wishes.
Li Yuntao did not insist on his opinion. He smiled freely and asked as if he was trying to compare: "It's not a bad thing for young people to have such ambitions. They are worthy of being the elite of the Central and South Region. Xiaoyou, tell me, what are your plans? How do you plan to fight on the front line? Where do you want to go with these existing strongholds? The command team will fully respect your personal wishes and strive to maximize the strength of each team."
Yang Xiangchun said: "The two commanders are so humble and open-minded. It is rare for you to be so open-minded. Xiaoyou, you must seize the opportunity and express your position in front of the two commanders. Haven't you always wanted to make contributions and stand out! This is a rare opportunity for you."
The captain pondered for a moment and said sternly: "That's it. We didn't know enough about each stronghold before, so if we join in rashly now, I'm afraid it won't be of much use. But this investigation has given us a good direction. We are very familiar with the strange The core area of the Tree is far better understood than others. It can be used as a sharp knife, ready to stab at the vital points of the Weird Tree at any time."
Li Yuntao chuckled: "General Zeng, you are an old soldier. What do you think?"
"The Hengcheng team wants to use itself as a special operations team. There is nothing wrong with that. Its ambition is commendable, and I personally have no objection. However, as a special operations team, combat capabilities, discipline, and judgment on the battlefield are all important. Your abilities in other aspects are indispensable. The requirements for you are very high."
Captain You said seriously: "To be honest with you two commanders, we just want to have higher demands on ourselves, so that we can push out the best in ourselves and improve ourselves to the greatest extent. The Star City team has already established such great achievements, if we don't take some risks , let alone compete with them, you won’t even be able to see their taillights by then. Please help us, two commanders.”
Li Yuntao said with a smile: "I've said that I've got this job, but if we don't agree, we'll become big villains."
General Zeng smiled noncommittally: "Then give it a try. If you feel it's too much, just make arrangements later. It's not a bad thing after all that you have such an adventurous spirit. Director Yang, you should also give some advice to young people. Give them some guidance.”
Yang Xiangchun said happily: "They are the team I brought, and it is my job to keep an eye on them."
"Go and prepare. It's best to have a plan so that the command team knows your specific strategies and tactics, and it is also convenient for the command team to assign tasks to you."
】
Li Yuntao said this, which is equivalent to the matter being finalized.
Yang Xiangchun also knew that when it came to this matter, it was time to resign.
…
After Yang Xiangchun and the others from Hengcheng left, Li Yuntao exchanged meaningful glances with General Zeng and sighed softly.
Before, he still had a little bit of luck in his heart, always hoping that there would be some misunderstanding or something. Now, by probing a few words without leaving any trace, I have completely found out the details of these people.
Yang Xiangchun suddenly regained his enthusiasm for work, and Captain You and others returned on time at this time and submitted a lot of photos and information about the core area of the Weird Tree. After careful analysis, these photos and information were all general, which made people feel like There are a lot of details, but not many useful conclusions can be drawn.
Everything is specious and specious.
These can all be explained.
But Li Yuntao invited them to join the command team and obey the orders of the command team, but Captain You resolutely refused.
This reason for rejection was indeed very high-sounding and convincing, and it perfectly exaggerated the grudge between them and Star City.
Then when it comes to their work arrangements, they will not go to any stronghold, but choose to face the strange tree directly. The reason is also very good.
But Li Yuntao, who knew the inside story, shook his head.
All this is completely consistent with the previous intelligence. This group of people has really taken refuge in the strange tree, and has really completely rebelled against the human camp.
They keep saying that they want to express themselves and take this opportunity to stand out.
But don’t they know that being in front of the two commanders and being close to the core of power also means more and greater opportunities to get ahead?
Why should they abandon the near and seek the far away to face the strange tree?
Is it really just for a fight, for the past with Star City?
On the surface, what they say seems seamless and makes perfect sense.
But if you know the inside story and who they are, you can see that all these claims are actually full of loopholes.
"Commander, it's true that you know people but don't know their hearts. Yang Xiangchun... ugh!" Li Yuntao was heartbroken and fully accepted the fact that Yang Xiangchun had rebelled against the human camp.
"Old Li, why do you sigh? Isn't it better to be exposed earlier than later? At the critical moment of the decisive battle, if you let them stab you in the back, that would be fatal."
Li Yuntao thought about it carefully and felt lucky.
"It makes sense. It's better to be exposed now than in the future. However, we have to do something, right? We can't make it so easy for them. If you ask me, transfer Yang Xiangchun over in the name of additional executive director. And then give him some wrong information. , to guide him in the wrong direction, so that he can steal the chicken but lose the rice, it is better to offend the strange tree and let him draw water from the bamboo basket in vain."
Li Yuntao was really angry.
From his point of view, it was easier to understand why Hu Tu chose to seek refuge in the strange tree for an ordinary small character because he saw no hope and had no way to climb up.
A man like Yang Lichun, who is a master and a high-ranking person, is willing to become a lackey of the strange tree and become an enemy of the human camp. This is something Li Yuntao cannot understand.
Is there really any future for taking refuge in the strange tree?
In the end, the human camp was destroyed. Can traitors like them still have a good life?
The cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked. How could Yang Xiangchun not understand such a simple truth?
General Zeng said calmly: "The chess piece Yang Xiangchun should either not be used, or if it is used, it must be used in key places. With his authority, if it is just to make him personally unlucky and make enemies with the weird tree, that is really a bit Pity."
"Does the Commander-in-Chief already have an idea?"
"I have some ideas, but the matter is very important and I have to report it to the center. By the way, in the past few days, the Hengcheng team will definitely collect our combat information on a large scale. We must be mentally prepared for this."
"Then what should we do? Order a seal? If we seal it at this time, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. Instead, it will scare the snake."
"Then just let it go and let them collect it?"
"Yes, let them collect. Not only do we let them collect, we also have to give the illusion that all combat plans are being implemented in an orderly manner."
"But if we don't take any precautions, maybe they will also become suspicious, right?"
"Just follow the usual confidentiality rhythm. We don't deliberately upgrade the confidentiality level, and we don't deliberately leak information. Everything will proceed according to the original rhythm."
Li Yuntao smiled and said: "This is best. So how do we respond to Mr. Song? And Jiang Yue is deep behind the enemy lines, and I am afraid he is also waiting for our news."
"We don't have to worry about Jiang Yue, he is more calm than we thought. There was no news from him in the past few days, everyone was worried about him, but he can calmly lurk behind the enemy lines. Now he has passed on the information, Not to mention, I will naturally be more calm."
"Commander-in-Chief, since our original combat plan will be leaked to the Hengcheng team and asked to be brought to the Weird Tree camp, the original plan will definitely be scrapped. Then, we need to formulate a new plan to use this false information , complete the final decisive battle?”
"Haha, Lao Li, calm down. How to fight the final battle depends on the situation. Now we have successfully driven a wedge into the weird tree, and excavated a large part of the weird tree, which is equivalent to We have gained the upper hand. Compared to the previous situation where everything was unclear, don’t you think our situation is actually slightly more favorable now?”
After thinking about it carefully, Li Yuntao also laughed in relief: "That's really what happened."
"So, we need to wait for more updated news from Jiang Yue. If Jiang Yue can finally rescue Professor Lu Jinwen, maybe the final battle will truly come."
"This is easier said than done. It's already very dangerous for him to lurk in the enemy camp alone. I can't even imagine rescuing an important person who is being closely guarded."
The difficulty is not ordinary, it is completely hell-level difficulty.
…
In Yang Xiangchun's house, Yang Xiangchun gently played with the teapot in his hand.
Captain You and other Hengcheng players stood aside and waited with low eyebrows.
Even though they were awakened, Yang Xiangchun's coercion made them feel a little inferior unconsciously, and they had a kind of awe for him in their bones.
"Uncle, does it mean that you should be re-employed by listening to the two commanders?" Captain You still couldn't hold his breath and asked cautiously.
Yang Xiangchun wrote lightly: "That's what I'm saying at the moment. It's just a pretty statement. It remains to be seen whether it really needs to be reused."
"This is a positive signal after all. If uncle, you can participate in higher-level decision-making, it will definitely be beneficial to bilateral cooperation. The more intelligence we get, the more weight the negotiation will have. Uncle, that is I don’t know, the West Frontier Region is really arrogant. If we can’t give them a bargaining chip that satisfies them, they will definitely not give us Professor Lu Jinwen.”
"Haha, it depends on how we play the game. The cooperation between the Western Region and the Central and Southern Regions is the general tone. No matter how arrogant they are, they must accept this. It's just that the tree ancestors here are now more mature. , have greater control, so I feel that the right to speak should be tilted towards them.”
"That's what I mean. I really despise their villainous demeanor."
"Xiaoyou, calm down, it doesn't matter if you are fat first. Don't be too deliberate in asking for information these days, so as not to expose yourselves. As far as I know, the center and the command team have reached a tacit understanding and are cooperating with the deployment of troops and generals. , allocate resources and equipment, there must be a combat plan, and it has been reviewed and approved. I am living in seclusion now, the intelligence source is very single, and it is not easy to inquire too much. You can hear more details outside, and you can often work back from the details. Get unexpected information."
Captain You said: "I know all this. Uncle, I heard that the people from Star City moved from Yuncheng to Liangcheng again?"
"There is such a saying. Why, you still want to compete with them?"
"That's all for others, but that Jiang Yue, I really can't swallow this breath. In front of Mr. Shuzu here, I also specifically mentioned the threat of Jiang Yue. We must find ways to send this guy's information to him. Go over there and ask Master Shuzu here to keep an eye on him."
"Haha, Xiaoyou, your layout still can't escape from personal calculations. Do you think you are still used to emphasize Jiang Yue's threat? The Star City team destroyed one of its main roots in just a few days, making it full of energy. Dashang, do you think Mr. Tree Ancestor here still needs you to fan the wind and light the fire?"
"It's true that I don't need to fan the wind to light the fire, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I have a common enemy with Mr. Shuzu here, so it is naturally easier to empathize."
Yang Xiangchun was noncommittal about this, and then said firmly: "It's up to you how to operate it. I only want one result, give me Professor Lu Jinwen, what I want is a big living person."
"I will try my best." Captain You said sincerely.
"Remember, be careful and don't expose any flaws, otherwise you and I will die without a burial place. Although those two old foxes want to reuse me, there is no guarantee that they will not have any grudge against me. As long as they retain their opinions towards me, Every little detail will be magnified with a magnifying glass.”
Yang Xiangchun still has this bit of self-awareness, so he demands to be more cautious and never allow any mistakes.
Suddenly, Cheng Yunfan said cautiously: "Director Yang, Team You, I have something to say. I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
"Old Cheng, if it's inappropriate, don't talk about it." Captain You said displeased.
Yang Xiangchun looked kind and cheerful: "Xiaoyou, what are you doing? We are all comrades, why don't you let others talk? Lao Cheng, if you want to say anything, just say it. I guarantee you that you will not be punished for your words."
Cheng Yunfan murmured: "Actually, it's not a big deal. What I want to say is, is there a possibility that the two commanders have already doubted us?"
