District 9

The relationship between the Eighth District and Sichuan Mansion and the anti-Chen forces in the Seventh District is like two colleagues in the same unit who dislike each other. They are at odds with each other, but due to various factors, they must temporarily cooperate.

Of course, this kind of mutual antagonism does not come from the grassroots, but from the top.

In the eyes of the headquarters of the Seventh District, the four thousand people responsible for the sneak attack in the port are already lone troops deep behind enemy lines. If they want to pick them out, they must let the two warships brave the fierce attack of the enemy navy and dock first. Arrival. Because the number of this unit is too small, they definitely do not have the ability to delay until the large naval force overwhelms them, so they can only respond in advance.

But this lone army of four thousand people will definitely be decimated on a large scale after the battle in the harbor. It is a very lucky result that half of them are left in the end.

Isn’t the price too high to risk sending two warships to respond to a mere two thousand people?

Is it really worth it?

If one of the two battleships is sunk when they get close to each other, it will cost District 7 billions of military expenditures and the loss of thousands of soldiers on the battleships. When the higher-ups investigate, who will Can you take the blame?

This is a very "rational" consideration of the Seventh District Navy. To put it simply, these four thousand lone troops are all members of the Sichuan Mansion. What their final outcome will be is not psychologically disturbing to the big shots in the naval command, because they are not their own people after all.

Also, most of the generals in the Seventh District Naval Command are opposed to this response operation. In fact, there are more hidden reasons.

Qin Yu said some very aggressive, oppressive, and even threatening words in the war room before, which made many generals in the seventh district very dissatisfied.

Aren’t you threatening this or that?

If I don't save these four thousand people, what can you do?

The war has reached this point, and no one can cease fire immediately and start fighting among themselves. Therefore, no matter what we do, you, the Sichuan government, have to endure it.

…

Of course, these psychological activities are only the thoughts of some generals, and some people think that these people should be saved.

In the conference room, a senior colonel officer stood up and said, "Commander-in-Chief, I still think it is necessary to rescue these four thousand people."

Zhou Yuanzheng looked at him.

"There are no parties or positions on the battlefield. As friendly forces in the same camp, no matter which side loses military strength, it is a direct loss to the coalition." The colonel said seriously: "Besides, these four thousand lone troops in Sichuan Mansion have changed The war situation was reduced, which gave our navy the opportunity and space to press forward, and also gave the army the confidence to attack Naypyitaw with all its strength. From my perspective, these four thousand people are all warriors and are worthy of respect from the three major districts. Children, they have the right to enjoy the rescue of two warships."

"Brother Ge Ming!" A chief of staff sat on a chair, raised his eyelids, and stepped in to reply: "You saved someone, and the Sichuan government will appreciate it? Have you forgotten what Qin Yu said here? They don’t believe us at all…!”

"Actually, I didn't agree with it at first. Launching a decisive battle in advance is indeed a bit risky for the navy." Ge Ming simply replied: "But since the war has begun, it has nothing to do with being ungrateful... … Let’s talk about some conspiracy theories. If you can stay on the battleship and not rescue these four thousand people, the Sichuan government can also reduce the supplies to you at Hekou Port... Such meaningless internal consumption will ultimately result in both of us suffering losses. , the enemy profited."

As soon as these words came out, no one in the room said a word, because whoever answered these words would be labeled as actively engaging in internal strife.

"Let me tell you something about my position." Ge Ming adjusted his glasses and said elegantly: "These four thousand people will be written down in the annals of history and will be remembered by the Chinese people forever. If... we don't go to help... in the future Being found out, this may be the shame that our Seventh District Navy cannot wash away! The dead, especially those who died heroically, can be remembered even more. They don't need to say anything, we will be nailed to the pillar of shame. .”

When Zhou Yuanzheng heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched and he immediately agreed: "What Ge Ming said is right."

As soon as the boss spoke, there was no more opposition in the room.

"Send a telegram to Fu Zhenguo and order them to send out a frigate and look for opportunities to take these four thousand warriors home." Zhou Yuanzheng stood up and gave the final order.

When Ge Ming heard this, his expression was a little strange, but he didn't say anything.

…

five minutes later.

Fu Zhenguo received the order from the general headquarters, but he was confused: "What does this order mean? Why is it so vague? If you respond, you will respond. What does it mean to find an opportunity on your own? We are facing the enemy's main force in the front Fleet combat...how can I find an opportunity?!"

"Yeah, why did the general headquarters issue such a vague order?" The chief of staff on the ship was also confused.

Fu Zhenguo thought for a moment and immediately ordered, "Call Ge Ming."

"Yes!" the communications staff responded immediately.

A few seconds later, Fu Zhenguo spoke to Ge Ming: "You are at the headquarters, tell me what the order they issued means?"

"...It means shirking responsibility." Ge Ming said simply: "Look for opportunities on your own. If something goes wrong, it means you are looking for the wrong opportunity; if the task is successfully completed, it means the upper management made the right decision."

The fleet was at war with the enemy, and Fu Zhenguo had something to deal with every minute. He didn't bother to get angry in this kind of calculation. He just asked directly: "Can this lone army in Sichuan Mansion hold on?"

"If we drag them on, they will all be wiped out." Ge Ming sighed and said, "Oh, I really don't like some of the practices of the Sichuan government's military and political affairs... but these soldiers... are all good."

"Okay, I understand." Fu Zhenguo replied.

"Um."

The two ended the call, and Lieutenant General Fu Zhenguo immediately said to the staff: "Notify the No. 2 frigate to peel off the fleet from the side and prepare to move closer to the enemy's No. 1 military port."

"General, our fleet is already at a disadvantage. Send a frigate...?!"

"Qin Yu is quite annoying, but you have to admit that his soldiers are all bloody soldiers!" Fu Zhenguo said briefly: "Battleships are just dead objects. We will rebuild them after they are gone, but the warriors must return. Home!! Send the order!"

"Yes!" the staff officer responded.

Fu Zhenguo looked at the huge observation instrument and said succinctly: "I will hold down all the aircraft on the amphibious assault ship and attack their fleet. The actual effect will not be very great. If the aircraft are left behind, I will be of great use." .”

"clear!"

…

Within the port.

The troops led by Ou Xiaobin have advanced to the periphery of the enemy's air defense headquarters. If they capture this place, the situation of the battle will be completely reversed.
