The situation at sea calmed down at an extremely strange pace, which Chen Nian never expected.
——
No one in this world, even a time traveler like him who knows everything about historical events, could not have guessed, let alone guessed that his opponent had no way to go to the dark side, but retreated despite the difficulties.
Of course, the retreat is temporary.
At least, we cannot let down our guard because of their temporary weakness.
The fleet mobilization is still carried out according to the established strategy, and the shipyards and various military factories are also working non-stop, intending to use the shortest possible time to make up for the so-called "quantity" gap as much as possible.
Moreover, discussions on follow-up strategies have already begun.
office.
The leader speaks.
"Taken together, our ability to push back our opponents this time is a strategic victory, and it is also a technical victory."
"Various military industrial enterprises and scientific research units, especially the Spark Group, played a major role in the confrontation during this period."
"Various new equipment and weapons, including Wuzhen-9, YJ-21H, 055,001, provide the necessary conditions for us to win."
"Therefore, the recognition of these scientific researchers must not be discounted."
"After discussions between all parties, the current commendation plan has reached an internal consensus, so I won't go into details."
"The most urgent task for each department at the moment is to carry out our commendations and give our team another breath of fresh air."
"I won't go into details about the whole task. Lao Xu, you can make arrangements."
"clear."
The middle-aged man sitting on the right nodded slightly and made a note in his notebook.
"How long will it take to complete the execution?"
"It will take about two weeks. If there is a need for adjustment later, I will submit the application again."
"Okay, then it's up to you. This work is very important, so don't make any mistakes."
What the old man meant by "going wrong" is very simple, that is, don't cause dissatisfaction among the various departments below because of the distribution of awards and commendations.
After all, we are now in a critical period of strategic sprint, and it is very likely that a very small "popularity" will have a major impact on the execution of the overall plan.
If by that time the final result is unsatisfactory, then the gain outweighs the loss.
But of course, as an experienced veteran comrade, Lao Xu could not make such a mistake.
His idea is very simple. It is difficult to keep a bowl of water level, so it is better to be simple and crude and pour a few more bowls of water.
Anyway, the results this time are significant enough, establishing a new deterrent and opening the door to the future.
What’s wrong with giving out more prizes?
If possible, I would like to take the opportunity to stir things up and directly bring the social status of scientific researchers to the core agenda for discussion.
Thinking of this, he answered:
"Leader, don't worry, I know this well."
"Although the overall finance is tight this year, the scale is still growing rapidly. There is no pressure to allocate some budget to do this."
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately understood what he meant.
"That's good, you take control."
After a pause, he continued to add:
"As for the commendation of institutions, we just have to follow the rules and regulations."
"But everyone should pay more attention to Chen Nian."
"Although this matter will not be mentioned on the work agenda for discussion, everyone knows its importance."
"It is better to actively offer suggestions and find ways to make him remember us and our goodwill."
Everyone in the conference room nodded in agreement. Seeing this scene, Lao Xu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
What kind of honor is this?
Although there was no public commendation or any title awarded, everyone in this small room was given the same task because of him.
Throughout the history of this country, there are really not many people who have received such an honor.
Chen Nian was the first person to pioneer such "comprehensive attention".
After talking about the topic of commendation, the old man took off his glasses and then said:
"The topic we are going to talk about next, even if we talk behind closed doors."
"I don't need to introduce it too much. Everyone knows the current situation."
"There are signs of division within NATO, and the United States is already in an extremely isolated position regarding the maritime situation."
"We can assert that if the United States continues to stir up trouble, Britain, France and Germany will be the first to stand up and oppose it."
"At the same time, they have actually made a move to retreat, and the strategic alliance established with the South Island is disintegrating."
"In other words, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity before us."
"Our question is, should we use this opportunity to accomplish the ultimate strategic goal in one go?"
After hearing the old man's question, everyone in the conference room fell silent.
Even though the tone was set at the beginning and it was stated that the discussion was behind closed doors, this question was still difficult to answer.
You mean a fight?
It's easy to win, but no one can predict where NATO's bottom line is.
It is very likely that after noticing the changes in the situation, several countries that were still in strong opposition will soon unite again.
At the same time, it is easy to conquer a country but difficult to defend it. What if the war of annihilation develops into a protracted war?
But if you want to say not to fight, it would be a pity not to seize such a good opportunity before you.
If you miss it, it will definitely not be easy to find a similar window period later.
The old man looked around, waiting for everyone's answer.
But after a long time, it was Lao Xu who raised his hand first.
"I will speak on behalf of everyone on this issue. In fact, I know that everyone has the same idea."
"If you fight, you're afraid of problems later. If you don't fight, you're afraid that you won't have another chance."
"But I want to explain one thing, how did we create this opportunity?"
"Is it a coincidence? Is it good luck?"
"no!"
"It's the three major fleets, the second artillery, and our navy, land and air forces, which were built and fought bit by bit under the premise of highly developed technology."
"So, the opening of the window is inevitable."
"And, I can predict that this window will never close."
"Why? Think about this, everyone."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room was a little stunned.
Lao Xu did not pause, but continued.
"The reason is simple: because the development of technology has not stopped, but is accelerating."
"Let me put it more bluntly."
"As long as Chen Nian is still alive and on our side, this window will always be open."
"My suggestion is that we don't need to take the risk."
"If we go to fight and recycle now, we will get a false reputation and interrupt our development and layout."
"The benefits are too low and there is no need."
"Why are we in a hurry? With Chen Nian's secret weapon here, are we still half a minute away?"
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Lu Yuan, who had been imprisoned for more than three months, finally ushered in the day of release. It is undeniable that he was excited at this time, but this excitement was not just because he was about to return to the familiar island, but because He knew that releasing himself was an important signal:
A sign of a fundamental reversal of the situation.
The mainland no longer needs their crew as bargaining chips to keep the situation under control. They have everything in their hands.
——
Is this good news?
Maybe, for some people, definitely not.
Even for Lu Yuan a few months ago, it was definitely not the case.
But now, after personal experience and learning, his thoughts have changed subtly.
Of course, he still doesn't want a violent conflict to break out between the two parties, and he still doesn't want things to come to the final step.
After all, he also has special feelings for his compatriots there.
This kind of feeling cannot be erased so easily.
But on the other hand, it is undeniable that he hopes that the mainland will prevail.
It's not because he has completely turned to the mainland psychologically, but because he realized one thing:
Instead of having their bones knocked out and their marrow sucked out by the old Americans, it would be better to let the mainland scrape their bones and cure their poison.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Wu Hai, the staff member who had been in charge of him, stood aside and noticed his expression, and asked with a slightly teasing tone:
"Why, look at your expression, you still don't want to leave?"
Lu Yuan did not shy away from it, but answered bluntly:
"I really don't want to leave, but I can't do it without leaving, and you won't issue me a visa."
"I also want to go to Guizhou to see how every village in your country has roads. I may not be able to come back until this time."
In fact, although cross-strait exchanges were not frequent at this time, there were basically channels.
Some ordinary people can also obtain the so-called "family visit visa" after applying.
But Lu Yuan's identity is too special, and he has also participated in key events. Not to mention whether the mainland will grant him a visa, Nandao will definitely not let him go.
If I really want to come back, I'm afraid I really have to wait until "that moment".
Wu Hai naturally knew this.
So, he deliberately asked:
"Then do you want to come quickly, or don't want to come at all?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Lu Yuan replied:
"I want to come soon."
"Became a reunification faction?"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan shook his head firmly.
"It's not a matter of unification or unification. It should be said that I am a developmentist and a profit-seeking person."
This was said in a vague way, but it also contained some special sense of humor. Wu Hai laughed and replied:
"Then you've made pretty good progress. I won't bullshit you anymore and get on the ship. It's time for you to go."
Lu Yuan nodded and asked the last sentence:
"Are you going to take action?"
Wu Hai did not answer.
Therefore, Lu Yuan no longer hesitated and stepped onto the ramp that had been prepared long ago.
After stepping onto the deck, he subconsciously looked back behind him.
In his sight, there was a high-rise building full of vitality, and further to the left was a cross-sea bridge under construction.
This continent is awakening at an astonishing and incredible speed, and I am one of the witnesses of this great era.
The security ship, which had been carefully maintained, set sail smoothly. Under the escort of a Chinese Coast Guard ship, the security ship slowly sailed away from the coastline.
Lu Yuan was still standing on the deck, as if he wanted to keep the shadow of this continent in his heart.
However, just after the security ship turned out of the port, he suddenly saw a scene that perhaps he should not have seen:
In the distant military port, several warships were leaving the port.
He knew the models of those warships, but even just from their size, he could judge their combat effectiveness.
Lu Yuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He quickly ran into the captain's room and asked the captain who was also looking at the warship in the distance:
"What's the situation on the mainland? Is something going to happen?"
"There are so many people going in the same direction as us? What are we going to do?"
The captain frowned and shook his head silently.
After half a minute, he spoke:
"Ayuan, I'm not familiar with them even though you are familiar with them. How can I possibly know things that you don't even know?"
"However, the Americans have withdrawn, what do you think they are going to do?"
"You're not avoiding us anymore - or are you doing it on purpose to show us?"
"I have no idea."
Lu Yuan shook his head, his heart beating faster and faster.
No way?
Is it possible that after letting go of their own bargaining chip, they still want to get more chips?
Or, do they want to take advantage of this opportunity to solve the problem at once?
This is definitely not what I want to see
But so what?
The other party's strategy will not change due to anyone's wishes. As long as they decide to do something, they will definitely do it.
Those behemoths slowly disappeared from Lu Yuan's sight, and he gave up his unfounded thoughts.
never mind.
This is not something you should worry about.
Awan and Abba are still waiting for her at home. Maybe after returning, the best choice is to find an air-raid shelter and hide as soon as possible.
With such uneasy worries, Lu Yuan returned successfully and met his family smoothly.
Those ships seemed to disappear - turned out to be just a coincidence, just a misunderstanding?
Lu Yuan gradually felt relieved, but on this night, at a dinner party for him, three members of the family saw an understatement on the TV, but it was like thunder on the ground:
…
A wry smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face.
It turned out to be no misunderstanding.
