Chapter 929: Borrowing things to build momentum

After three hours of secret talks with the deputy prime minister, no one knew the specific content of the consultation, and while it was dark, Zao Wou-Ki arranged for someone to secretly send the deputy prime minister and his entourage out of the country, and Zao Wou-Ki himself came to the naval base, where he encountered a major matter, and he had to go there to see the situation in person.

Zao Wou-Ki asked Wu to send him off with a knife and flew directly to the naval base, where he was greeted by Yuan Guoping and Zhou Qi, the chief of the navy, as well as a senior general of the navy.

This kind of simple house also has the advantage that it is not easy to be found, there is a basement under the house, which is arranged as a headquarters, and there are many equipment and staff in it, Zao Wou-Ki followed him to a conference room in the basement, and after everyone sat down, they all looked at Zao Wou-ki.

Zao Wou-Ki nodded at Yuan Guoping, and Yuan Guoping said knowingly: "President, ladies and gentlemen, it is a pity that our navy has not made any contributions in this war, and now there is an opportunity in front of me, so I specially invited the president to come over and have a look." ”

As he spoke, Yuan Guoping glanced at the intelligence staff officer behind him, and the staff officer opened the wall curtain knowingly, revealing a large world map, Yuan Guoping walked up with the command headquarters and said: "According to the information we have, a week later, a batch of supplies will land from here. He pointed to a place.

"According to intelligence, in addition to 1,000 sets of top-level special forces equipment, this batch of materials also has a missile launch system and a defense system, once these two systems are installed, we will be directly threatened, so we are considering whether to attack the idea of this batch of materials." Yuan Guoping said and looked at Zao Wou-ki.

The information was obtained by Zhang Man, and there is no doubt about the authenticity, which Zao Wou-Ki has known for a long time, and this time he came mainly to hear everyone's opinions and plans, so he did not rush to express his position, but asked: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Our plan is to blow up this material delivery ship, although the things are very good, it is better to be captured, but objectively speaking, our naval strength is not enough, it is impossible to capture it, but there is still a certainty of blowing up this batch of materials, the problem is that in this way, the good situation of negotiations will be broken." Yuan Guoping said.

"These are two different things, you let go, the negotiation is just a cover, everyone knows, otherwise we will not continue to deliver this batch of materials at this critical juncture, once this batch of materials is installed and used, then we are completely shrouded in the strike range, we don't need fighter jets at all, just missiles can bomb us, so, we must stop this matter, in addition, once we succeed, we must also selectively publish the truth of the matter, arouse vigilance, we will be safe." Zao Wou-Ki said decisively.

"Great, as long as the president makes this determination, our navy will do whatever it takes to complete this task." Yuan Guoping said excitedly: "Our plan is to use nuclear submarines to sneak attack, at that time, we will definitely use aircraft carriers to escort this batch of equipment, our navy pretends to be a fisherman in the sea area where they landed, to attract their frigates, if attacked, then we will retreat immediately, it will destroy the good situation of peace talks, we have articles to do, if they do not retreat, our people will try to block the front, stop their speed, and win opportunities and time for our nuclear submarines." ”

"How many layers of certainty are there?" Zao Wou-Ki asked.

"I talked to several old experts on nuclear submarines, and they said that there are seven layers of certainty, even if you can't fight, it's no problem to run. I didn't think we knew this information and started before the negotiations. Yuan Guoping said confidently that since he led the navy, the temperament of the whole person has changed. More calm and sophisticated.

"Very good, if you fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will run, we are just a nuclear submarine, we can't waste it in vain, the nuclear submarine is not vegetarian, and the anti-submarine capability of the aircraft carrier is also very high, so we can't be careless." Zao Wou-Ki advised: "On that day, I will find a way to arrange for the international observation team to stay in the waters off Soma, believing that they will not dare to do it lightly, so that our navy will be safer to cover up." ”

When everyone heard that Zao Wou-Ki was so concerned about the safety of the navy, they were all grateful, and their eyes were even more respectful.

After negotiating some details and other matters, Zao Wou-Ki visited the naval base, tested the mental outlook of the naval soldiers, and then returned to his office at the Dashan base in a helicopter gunship.

It was already noon, Zao Wou-Ki had people take the food to the office, and while eating and dealing with official business, there were too many things, just piling up all kinds of documents that needed to be issued were like a hill, and after a lot of money was thrown out, the major departments and various matters were turned one after another, with Lei Tingxiao taking the lead, and the civil affairs led by Sama and Sun Jingshu, and everything was going very well.

In the afternoon, Zhang Man, who was in charge of intelligence work, hurriedly came over and told Zao Wou-Ki a piece of news, and the president made a speech, once again affirming that the dispatch of troops was a just counterattack and a legitimate revenge for detaining the ship and killing and wounding the crew, and claiming that what Zao Wou-Ki said was a lie made up by himself and was not credible at all.

Zao Wou-Ki had long expected such a result, and when the truth of the matter was announced, no one intended to believe it, but it was just to completely muddy the waters, as long as he had nearly 7,000 prisoners of war in his hands, I believe that the president would not easily send troops again.

In order to prevent the president from jumping off the wall in a hurry, Zao Wou-Ki thought for a while and said to Zhang Man: "You immediately arrange for a press corps to interview the prisoners of war, report the matter, and arouse the great concern of the public, so that the president will not dare to act arbitrarily." ”

"Understood, I'll arrange it right away." Zhang Man agreed, walked out of the president's office, and after coming outside, he immediately said a few words to his assistant, and the assistant ran away.

Half an hour later, Zhang Man personally followed the press corps to a construction site deep in the mountains, all the way guarded by the People's Army, no one was allowed to walk around, and no one was allowed to look around, so they could only walk on the prescribed route, and after walking for about an hour, everyone came to a large construction site.

The construction site was full of people digging holes in the mountains, all of them in army uniforms, obviously prisoners of war, and the reporters finally saw the long-lost prisoners of war, and they all rushed up like sharks smelling blood, as if they had gone up to interview, but they were blocked by the People's Army.

When everyone asked for freedom of interviews, several representatives of the prisoners of war who had already been elected came up, and everyone sat relatively on the stools that had been set up in a clearing, just like a rural collective meeting, with a press corps sitting below and several prisoner of war representatives sitting above.

Zhang Man said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the president of your country refuses to visit and refuse to be sincere in peace talks, but our president is not like indiscriminately killing innocents, so today we have called all the press corps, and if you have anything to say to the press corps, I hope they will report it truthfully, let your family see it, let your loyal president see it, and promote peace talks, so that you can also go home." ”

"Oh?" Several deputies looked at Zhang Man in surprise, and then at the press corps, and finally understood that they felt that they had been abandoned by their loyal masters, and as a result, everyone's psychology underwent subtle changes.

A reporter preemptively asked: "Delegates, have you enjoyed the treatment that prisoners deserve here?" Can you tell us a little bit about your situation here? ”

This question undoubtedly spoke to everyone's mind, and everyone looked to the POW representatives.

After several delegates exchanged glances, one of the representatives with the rank of major said: "Everyone, please report the real situation here so that our families can see it." As he spoke, he stood up and bowed, and then continued: "To be honest, we have not been beaten and humiliated here every day except for the heavy digging of air-raid shelters, and the food is enough, two dishes and one soup, clean and hygienic, and the nutrition is not bad, as long as we are not lazy, we are not bad here, but we are soldiers after all, our country cannot abandon us like this, we hope to be able to return to China as soon as possible." ”

Seeing that this guy was so cooperative, Zhang Man was relieved and smiled.

When the reporters heard this, they were all stunned, and one reporter asked curiously: "What are you digging air-raid shelters for?" Doesn't the Convention stipulate that there is no need to work? ”

"It's ridiculous to say, we people help this country dig bomb shelters in order to prevent our country's planes from bombing, and we don't want to work, but do we have a choice?" Another lieutenant colonel stood up and said.

Seeing that the two key questions were answered very well, Zhang Man took over the topic and said: "Everyone, if we don't continue to attack us, do we need to dig a bomb shelter?" If we are a rich country with a labor force, can we have prisoners of war to help? Everyone is a soldier, and it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and there is nothing wrong with the state saying that he will fight whoever he wants, so we will not do anything excessive, but if the president blindly avoids the issue of peace talks, we have no choice. ”

The news of the press corps' interview with prisoners of war was soon published on the front pages of the world's major newspapers, and almost every newspaper published the answers of the two reporters intact, word for word, word for word, and this news soon set off an uproar.

Some people talk about benevolence and righteousness, some people jump up and say that all this is a conspiracy and a show, some people stand up and condemn the shame of war, and some people even denounce the president's injustice. And when the president saw the news, he smashed things in the office with a blue face, and no one dared to dissuade him.

In particular, a news media invited the families of the two servicemen who spoke to the TV station to do an interview and broadcast live, and the family members complained about the president's injustice, emphasizing how filial their children were, how smart and obedient they were, and all the families of the prisoners of war could not control their anger and stormed the government, playing the slogan of "end the war, return my children".

The leader of the opposition party even issued a public statement, saying that the opposition party supports anti-terrorism and the right war, but absolutely does not support the unwise behavior of the ruling party in abandoning the warriors who are fighting for the country, and pointed out that the country's top priority is to rescue the warriors from home.

The word "go home" has become a hot topic in all the media, but it is easier said than done, and if all the prisoners of war want to go home, they must lower their posture and show sincerity, and the problem is that these have always been lacking in the government, and the way home has become long.
