A certain base.
Ruan Yongliang walked around the office with excitement on his face. The hand holding the wine glass was trembling slightly, and he had not smoked the cigarette between his fingers.
He didn't want to hide his emotions at all, which was inconsistent with his consistent principles, but at this moment, he felt that all the so-called principles were no longer important.
Just now, he received a call from his superior, and the man on the phone revealed to him something that could be said to be absolutely explosive news.
Americans, come to Annan!
The aircraft carrier formation is coming to the port!
How important is this news?
It is no exaggeration to say that it was as important as saving his life.
Just a few hours ago, he was still dejected by the defeat on the sea, and he couldn't help but worry about the punishment he would receive from his superiors.
After all, the naval force under his jurisdiction was being chased and beaten by a "fishery administration ship"!
Even in the process, there was not even any effective counterattack! ——
Of course, you can't blame his soldiers.
Because when the incident happened and the fishery administration ship attacked its own ship with a high-pressure water cannon, the black muzzle of the naval gun that the fishery administration ship had not had time to dismantle did not move away from its target.
In that case, do you dare to resist?
If someone had actually fired the first shot, the outcome would be almost a no-brainer.
It must have paid the price of a sunken ship and contributed another laughing stock to international public opinion.
Of course, superiors don't care about this, they only care about the final result.
All they knew was that we were beaten by the fishery ship, our sailors were washed into the sea, and we almost suffered "non-combat attrition."
So, in this case, punishment is inevitable.
The only thing I can do is to find a way to find a reason and an excuse for myself to put this matter aside in order to recover the losses as much as possible.
And now, just when I couldn't think of a solution after all my thinking, this reason actually came to my door!
The Americans are coming, and they are bringing aircraft carriers to give us a platform. Isn’t this the best reason?
Based on this reason, all of my losses are justified.
Yes, it’s not that we don’t dare to resist. The reason why we show so much restraint is actually to increase our chips at the “world police” table.
The more cowardly we are now, the more chips are on the table.
You see, all the conflicts were provoked by them. Not only did we not confront them tit for tat, we even gave in so much.
But even in this situation, they still pressed forward step by step.
Shouldn't such bullying be punished?
It must be punished!
It's all up to you, Eagle-chan!
The more Ruan Yongliang thought about it, the happier he became. He drained the remaining liquid in the cup in one gulp, then turned to Ruan Huakai who was standing aside and asked:
"How are the injured on the ship being accommodated? Has anyone been killed?"
After hearing his words, Ruan Huakai quickly replied:
"No, two people were seriously injured, and many others were slightly injured."
"Most of them fell on their hands on the deck. The two who were seriously injured were more unlucky. The high-pressure jet directly entered the lungs, causing lung damage."
"Just stay alive!"
Ruan Yongliang nodded and continued:
"Remember, you must not let them die, I will keep them for great use!"
"Also, you should contact the media immediately - not domestic media! Call the BBC, Wall Street Journal, and AFP all over!"
"I want to conduct an exclusive interview with these combat heroes and ask them to talk about what happened at sea and how those people insulted them!"
"Understood, I will arrange it."
Ruan Huakai nodded solemnly, and then asked:
"In addition, shouldn't our military preparations also start?"
"Judging from the current situation, the other party is bound to win Treasure Island. We will inevitably have a more intense conflict in the future. If we don't prepare now, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"No, don't get ready!"
Ruan Yongliang quickly interrupted him, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke again:
"At least, our preparations cannot be made public."
"You should know what I want to do - what I want to create is the image of a perfect victim."
"Once we start to intensify our efforts, this image will be shattered, which is absolutely uneconomical for us."
"But...are we just going to watch them showing off their power?"
Ruan Huakai frowned. He could understand the so-called "perfect victim" theory, but he couldn't figure out why he did this.
Obviously, we no longer have the advantage on the sea, so why not take advantage of now, before the opponent's strength has been deployed, to attack quickly to win the victory?
If we really wait until the window period has passed and the other party deploys warships near Treasure Island, how can we still have any chance?
it's like
A stupid move, and an extremely stupid one at that.
Looking at Ruan Huakai's expression, Ruan Yongliang also guessed his thoughts, so he took a deep breath, calmed down his turbulent emotions, sat on the chair and said:
"Son, I know you are motivated and capable."
"It's normal that you want to fight."
"But, what I have to tell you is that with our current strength, we simply cannot compete with those people!"
"Even if we take the initiative and capture Treasure Island in one fell swoop, so what?"
"How long can we take that island? A day? A month? A year?"
"When their fleet comes over, we won't have any power to fight back. What happened before is a lesson for others!"
"So we can't do the same stupid thing a second time."
"We must learn to use the strength of others, and we must learn to join forces vertically and horizontally. This is the survival wisdom of a small country."
Ruan Huakai slowly sat on the sofa nearby, and he looked at Ruan Yongliang, who was in high spirits at this time.
In his heart, he always felt that there was something wrong with such a plan, but when he thought about it seriously, he felt that the logic was smooth and he could not find a reason to refute it.
After thinking for a long time, he came up with no results, so he had no choice but to say:
"alright, I got it."
"I will do what you say. But, will they really take action?"
"have no idea!"
Ruan Yongliang answered decisively.
Before Ruan Huakai could speak, he continued:
"But what we have to do is let everyone imagine that the United States will definitely take action!"
"Therefore, our drama must be as complete as possible. It must be sufficient to make everyone who sees it think that under such circumstances, it is impossible for Americans to ignore it."
Having said this, Ruan Yongliang paused for a moment, and then suddenly stood up.
"Yes, the drama is not enough now"
"From today on, our military will no longer approach that sea area."
"Let our fisherman go!"
“Let them go there to fish, let them go there to reclaim the sea.”
"And, we must try our best to make them conflict with each other, no matter what kind of conflict it is!"
“When it’s almost brewing, we’ll finish it off—and when we finish it, it’s time for the Americans to step in!”
"Also, the last conflict was also an opportunity."
"But it's such a coincidence that none of our soldiers were killed."
As he said that, Ruan Yongliang looked at Ruan Huakai with burning eyes.
"Didn't you say that two sailors were seriously injured?"
"I think you know how to do that, right?"
One day later, in a military hospital at the port base.
Zhu Wen lay quietly on the hospital bed, with terrible memories of being on the sea flashing through his mind.
The small boat equipped with a huge water cannon seemed to be a ghost chasing ghosts. It stuck to their boat at a super high speed, and then attacked them with a huge flow of water.
At that time, his first reaction was to touch the gun, but when he saw the eyes of the two people on the boat that were ready to eat people at any time, and the shadow of the "fishery administration ship" with naval guns in the distance, he thought He timidly withdrew his hand.
In the end, he just hugged his head and huddled in the corner of the boat, letting the water spray on him.
He thought he would be safe this way, but unexpectedly, the water quickly flooded him, filled his nose, and filled his lungs.
At the last moment when he fainted, what he saw was the extremely blue sky.
He even thought he was going to die.
Unexpectedly, someone actually saved him.
When he woke up again, he was already in the hospital bed.
What makes him even more fortunate is that according to the doctor, although his lungs were severely damaged and his brain also showed signs of edema, fortunately, he was treated in time, and the root cause of the disease may not be too serious in the future.
All he needs to do is to take a good rest, recover from his injuries as soon as possible, and return to the sea.
——
Pooh!
I will never go to that ghost place again in my life.
Zhu Wen'an sighed secretly and struggled to sit up.
According to the time, it should be almost dinner time now.
But the strange thing is that the nurse who delivers the meals hasn't come yet.
Have you forgotten yourself?
He looked at the door doubtfully, but at this moment, a doctor in white clothes walked in.
"Zhu Wen'an?"
The doctor asked.
"It's me! It's me."
Zhu Wen'an answered quickly.
"Okay, it's fine if it's you. Just lie down and I'll give you the injection."
"inject?"
Zhu Wen'an repeated it subconsciously, but still rolled up his sleeves in cooperation.
"What kind of injection is this? Doctor Gao told me before that I just need to have a good rest now."
"Don't worry, this is the shot that will put you out of pain."
The visitor smiled slightly, skillfully pushed all the medicine in the syringe into Zhu Wen'an's body, and then walked straight out of the ward.
Zhu Wen'an originally wanted to ask him about dinner, but seeing that he was in a hurry, he stopped talking.
Maybe, everyone is very busy.
I am really lucky to be able to lie on the hospital bed so leisurely.
Thinking of this, Zhu Wen'an lay down again.
He suddenly felt a little sleepy again.
——
Then, let's sleep again.
He closed his eyes and his breathing became calmer.
Slowly, his vision darkened.
Before falling into a deep dream, a strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind:
I heard it's easy to make money there.
If I recover this time, maybe I can go there?
But how long do we have to wait?
next month? next year? Still down
It was getting dark.
There was no sound anymore in the ward.
