Neither Ji Feng nor Xiang Yongzhan had expected that the battle plan that the two of them had privately formulated was just about to be reported to the top in the hope that it would be approved by the top, but before they could report it, Xiang Jiefang’s phone call unexpectedly came through.
The battle plan drawn up from above was surprisingly the same as theirs.
The coincidence that even the vanguard troops were the Special Operations Brigade and the vanguard battalion was a bit surprising to both of them.
But the one who was more surprised was Xiang Jiefang.
When Xiang Yongzhan spoke of the plan they had formulated, Xiang Jiefang was silent for a moment before he said, “There are talents coming out of the rivers and mountains from generation to generation!”
The military top bra*s had formulated this battle plan after combining the country’s power and the current international environment, as well as taking into account all the factors. But Ji Feng and Xiang Yongzhan, two young people, had actually determined such a battle plan, which made Xiang Jiefang couldn’t help but feel very emotional and gratified.
Although young, they were not adventurous and were steady, which was exactly what he wanted to see.
Young people have impetus, but sometimes they tend not to think about the bigger picture, just as a very loud voice on the internet strongly demanded the country to fight a big battle in the southern sea to beat the country’s prestige, and some hot-blooded youths even shouted the slogan of another self-defence counter-attack and fight directly to the capital of Vietnam.
But this is obviously unrealistic and can only be described as whimsical. Never mind the fact that warfare nowadays is not really like the old mode of warfare where land forces were king and it was all about ground advance, even if one could easily hit the capital of Vietnam, one could not do so.
The bigger picture had to be taken into account.
“Orders won’t be given for now, prepare your weapons first, and be mindful.” Xiang Jiefang admonished and hung up the phone.
“Brother, we can rely on you next.” Xiang Yongzhan turned his gaze towards Ji Feng, “The laser cannon must be ma*s produced urgently!”
“It takes time, besides without the laser cannon you can’t fight a war?” Ji Feng said.
“Nonsense, who would carry a hoe to fight with people if they have a submachine gun?” Xiang Yongzhan hummed, “Those soldiers of mine are all precious, I don’t want any of them to die.”
Ji Feng nodded and said, “I’ll try my best.”
The production of laser cannons was not as simple as talking about it, especially now that they were still working with the military, how efficient those military factories were, and the time needed to train the fighters after they got the laser cannons, all these had to be taken into consideration.
The good thing is that this is a special period and special things are being done. With Ji Feng providing the technology and Tengfei Group bringing in a large quantity of the new chrome alloy, the production of the laser cannon has entered into an intensive stage.
The entire military was like a complex and precise machine that began to rumble.
At the same time, the situation in the southern waters became more and more tense.
The Vietcong kept increasing its troops and even placed a large number of troops, among them mechanised ones, along the south-western border with China.
Internationally, the League of Nations is mediating, but China and Vietnam are at each other’s throats, leaving the League at its wits’ end.
In fact, everyone knows that the League of Nations is basically being manipulated by Rice now, and although China has been gradually making its voice heard, in the end it is still Rice that has the final say.
The relationship between countries is actually no different from that between ordinary people, whoever has the biggest fist, whoever has money and power, is the truth.
On the surface, they say they do not want to see the conflict in the southern waters intensify further, but in reality, according to the information that China has, Rice is secretly in contact with Vietnam, especially when the Vietnamese amba*sador frequently goes to meet with Rice’s dignitaries, so it is obvious that there is something going on between the two.
At the same time, the Kepong side even unscrupulously said that Vietnam was resisting, even using words like ‘in the face of the aggression of the big powers, Vietnam is standing by and will resist to the end’.
The media in Kampong even made a lot of noise about China’s threat to its neighbours, with some even threatening that the Self-Defence Forces should send warships to help Vietnam.
But what really irritated China was the pressure from countries like Rice.
The Rice amba*sador begged to see the old man to convey the Rice president’s concern about the situation in the southern waters and to convey his private advice that Rice did not want to see instability in the region and that China’s previous sinking of the Vietnamese warship was already an active provocation, one might even say aggression.
This news, somehow, made its way to the media, and once the news was reported, it immediately aroused the anger of the public.
It was clear that Rice was putting pressure on China, and for this reason it went out of its way to turn black and white, saying only that China had sunk the Vietnamese warship, but never mentioning why the Chinese navy had attacked, which was because the Vietnamese warship was attacking a Chinese fishing boat and had ignored the warning signals sent by the Chinese navy.
If the Chinese Navy had not stopped it at that time, the fishermen’s lives would have been in danger!
The Chinese high command did not take a stand, but the media was reporting on it, and some of them even interviewed directly the fishermen who were attacked by the Vietnamese warships at that time.
“We were strictly following the charts and conducting fishing operations in our country’s waters, and definitely did not cross the border. But when the Vietnamese warships and fishing boats came, they tried to expel us.”
“We argued that we were fishing in our own waters, but without saying a word the other side fired water cannons and hit us with high-pressure water cannons, causing one of our fishermen to break his calf and several others to break their ribs.”
“By that time we were already waving flags to show that we were unarmed and had no intention of resisting, but the other side continued firing water cannons and smashed our boats. ……”
The text report was accompanied by photographs of the fishing boats at the time.
In one of the photos, the fishing boat’s hull had been twisted and there were multiple dents in the hull, while the Vietnamese fishing boat was pounding the boat with high-pressure water cannons, the white column of water was clearly visible.
Meanwhile, in another photo, the fishing boat has docked and the fishermen are helping each other out, and there are images of medical personnel carrying the boat on a stretcher, while the fishing boat has been destroyed beyond recognition. The owner’s wife was hit by a high-pressure water gun and suffered broken ribs ……
These reports have sparked public outrage and anger.
The neighbouring countries have already targeted Chinese fishermen more than once or twice, especially those naval forces, even using guns to shoot unarmed fishermen, challenging China’s bottom line time and again.
How can the people not be outraged when something like this happens again?
In response to this report, the Vietcong denied it, saying only that the photos were computer-generated and that China had forged the evidence.
This is an obvious scoundrel’s statement, which has made the Chinese people extremely angry.
The Chinese officials finally spoke out at this time, sternly demanding that the Vietcong immediately withdraw its troops and seriously deal with those responsible for the attack on the fishermen. As those involved in the attack had been killed, but the officers who gave the order to send troops were to be dealt with seriously, and compensation and apologies were to be made to the Chinese fishermen.
The Vietcong came straight back at them, even demanding tit-for-tat that China hand over the murderers and at the same time demand an apology from the Chinese side.
This rogue act made the Chinese people even more furious.
China did not say anything more, but continued to increase its troops in the southern waters, and everyone knew that China was preparing to make a move.
China’s move made countries like Rice and Vietnam very nervous, blaming China and warning it not to play with fire ……
“Playing with fire?”
Xiang Yongzhan received the news and could not help but sneer, “I’ll make the whole No.1 Island a sea of fire!”
He glanced at the special combat brigade that was already fully loaded and ready to go, and waved his hand, “Let’s go!”
Late at night.
The entire Special Combat Brigade, fully armed, boarded an armed transport plane and flew to the southern waters. At the same time, the pioneer battalion of the Chinese garrison, which had been preparing for a long time, also boarded the transport plane.
At this time, Ji Feng, however, arrived at the Tengfei Group.
“Boss!”
Yi Xingchen greeted him.
Ji Feng asked, “Old Yi, is everything ready?”
Yi Xingchen nodded and said, “Don’t worry, it’s all ready, all the team members have been gathered.”
“Good!”
Ji Feng nodded and went to the security team’s training ground with Yi Xingchen. At this time, there were no idle people to be seen in the Tengfei Group, and this training ground was not allowed to be entered by anyone other than the battle team members.
Zhang Lei led all the team members and was waiting at the training ground.
When they saw Ji Feng enter, everyone stood up straight.
“Everyone, I won’t say any more nonsense, what we have gathered everyone for today, you all are already clear, now I will only say one thing, this operation, is to go to war, not to pack up the rabble as in the past.”
Ji Feng said in a deep voice: “Since it is a war, there will definitely be death, I know that all of you have climbed out of the pile of the dead before, perhaps you don’t want to go back to that kind of life in the past, so now I will give you all five minutes to consider, those who are not willing to go, I will definitely not force them, and there will definitely be no blame, now, please consider carefully, after five minutes, those who stay Those who stay here will be equipped with weapons and will leave overnight!”
After saying that, Ji Feng turned around and left.
The battle team of the Tengfei Group, their combat quality was nothing to write home about, however, they did not sell themselves to the Tengfei Group, so Ji Feng would not force them to necessarily go to this war.
But this was a rare opportunity, and Ji Feng had to take the battle team there. Through the training of this war, I believe the battle team would make a qualitative leap.
Now, Ji Feng was to give them time to think about it. He wanted players who were all in, not people who had too many worries, that kind of person would hold the battle team back later even if they were strong enough to go into battle.
Because, I’m afraid there will be a lot of wars in the future!
