The headquarters in Yecheng roared loudly. The most powerful fleet that was facing off against the coachman at the far east end was urgently recalled. Last time, they suffered the loss of the main fleet not being at home. This time, they must be taught a lesson. , get back your dignity.
This fleet includes the "Sverdlov"-class cruiser and the "Irian Jaya" naval flagship aided by China, as well as fast-class destroyers, Riga-class frigates, W-class submarines, Mosquito-class missile boats, and naval aviation units. Il-28 bomber, Marine Corps PT-76 amphibious tank, BTR-50 armored vehicle, etc.
These luxurious equipment make them think that they are the most powerful navy in Southeast Asia, especially the long-range strike capability. They no longer need to be afraid of the other party's "missiles". They already know that they are not missiles at all, just a variant of rocket launcher. Those Han pigs have always been blackmailing, they are all liars, outright liars.
"Since they are provoking again, I order to defeat the opponent's fleet and ground troops to destroy the resistance organizations. We don't want to take prisoners, these damn Han pigs, these liars."
In the conference room, Zhu Xuefeng was listening to the report.
"Tell me about the situation here."
Song Yan raised his head, "Chief, we have received news that the opponent's main fleet is rushing to Dumai and is expected to arrive within ten days. There are more than 30 ships in total. In addition to the flagship, there are two ships with more than 5,000 tons, and there are guided missile destroyers. and submarines, and it is said that there are also amphibious tanks. The small army will definitely be unable to bear it. The gap is too big. If they don’t get support from here, they will have to give up Dumai.”
Zhu Xuefeng nodded, "Du Mai must not give up. This is the lifeline for us to break into the troops. Our navy is indeed no opponent in a head-to-head confrontation. If they come with such a huge momentum, aren't they just bullying us because we don't have submarines? Those submarines are currently training How is it? Can you fight?”
Song Yan was stunned. The commander had found a few instructors from nowhere. They secretly taught the navy how to use submarines last year. However, the submarines have been practicing in the bay and have never really left the bay, and they are still not full.
"It's a bit difficult. Many people who have joined recently have not fully recovered, and it may be difficult to sneak under the sea for a long time."
Zhu Xuefeng walked back and forth for a few steps, then stopped and said, "No more waiting, both submarines are dispatched."
"But chief, they have never even gone to sea once. If they go into battle..."
Zhu Xuefeng was looking at the map of the strait without raising his head, "The other party will be here soon. There is no time to wait for them. Move, I have confidence in them."
"Yes!" Song Yan agreed. The commander-in-chief even dispatched the pseudo-aircraft carrier formation several times, but did not use these two submarines that had not yet formed combat effectiveness, but this time they were going to do so.
Zhu Xuefeng checked the intelligence, "The submarine went out alone and lurked in this area. The enemy doesn't know we have a submarine at all. Let's use this sea area to conduct a concealed sneak attack and retreat after the attack!"
Song Yan took a look and found that it was indeed the only way for the other party to pass, and this sea area was right at the door of the other party's home. The other party should have never expected to be attacked by a sneak attack. It seemed that the hope of success was high.
"Clear this area of mines and don't make them alert. The other side also has submarines. You have to think about how to avoid them."
"Yes." Seeing that the leader stopped talking, Song Yan was about to leave and convene people to make arrangements, but heard Zhu Xuefeng add.
"Let Xiaojun use the anti-submarine helicopters to gain some experience for the navy to search for submarines. Also, if there is a crisis, as long as Star City agrees, ignore Mara and tell them straightforwardly that we will borrow the road. If they don't let us, just drive away. Past.”
"Understood!"
We also inspected several newly added ships. These newly acquired ships are still being refitted and will not be able to be used in naval battles in the short term. Moreover, there are not even enough suitable naval soldiers to operate the ships. It seems that we can only activate the backup plan. Just cheap bald eagle.
"Please rest assured, chief, our "Langya" guarantees to complete the mission!"
"Please rest assured, chief, our "Seal" guarantees to complete the mission!"
Firm assurances from two submarine captains who had been training in secret for months.
"Captain Zhao, I believe in you. You are the most brave and fearless warriors. You are like tigers on land and like dragons in the sea!"
Zhu Xuefeng patted the two captains heavily. Liang Yan stood aside and her eyes shone brightly. These two were the heroes she and her senior brother rescued from the island. She found them and based on their intelligence, they found out more He led a team back and forth to the island and rescued many people one after another.
"The announcer named Zhang hastened to cross-examine. She knows a lot of information and will not hide it. We need to speed up the search and rescue pace. It will be difficult when the other party finds out."
"Okay, senior brother." Yanzi is now a sharp knife in the autonomous region's external affairs. She has led teams to carry out secret missions many times, which has allowed her to grow rapidly.
The Yang sisters in North America also received the order and were rapidly advancing as required. One day later, a secret delegation boarded a special plane and left North America.
"It's unbelievable. How could two ships affiliated with the aircraft carrier fleet appear there?" Minister GF was still mumbling to himself as he saw off the special plane.
"After such a long time, nothing is impossible. Mr. Secretary, I just hope that the children can maintain the majesty of the United States and not reveal any information."
"Mr. Director, I am more concerned about whether these two thousand soldiers are truly out of danger. They are now in the hands of damn barbarians..."
Eight days later, the aggressive enemy fleet encountered an unexpected attack in the Gili Sea, which was more than 100 nautical miles away from the Dumai Sea. The enemy fleet that sailed over did not pay attention. Four torpedoes drilled out close to the island, making it impossible for the fleet to avoid them. The main destroyer was hit by four torpedoes.
The two main destroyers were severely damaged and had to withdraw from the battle. The angry fleet searched for a whole day in this area with many islands, but found nothing.
"Let the injured ships return for repairs, and the fleet will continue to move forward!" The fleet received the order from the Coconut City Command and set sail again. Being cautious along the way to prevent sneak attacks, the fleet arrived in the waters outside Dumai two days later than expected, firmly occupying the middle section of the strait, and the huge fleet completely cut off the strait channel.
"Report to the general, the enemy fleet has a total of fourteen ships and is gathering in the port area thirty nautical miles away."
Fleet Commander General Hallibur smiled, "You didn't even run away. You stayed on the coastline stupidly. You are as stupid as an ox. You blockaded the sea area, rested the entire army, and annihilated them all tomorrow. Since they didn't run away, there was no need to run away."< br>
"General, I heard that it was this group of crooks who destroyed the Yecheng Military Port last year."
"Well, I know that General Su has given an order to wipe out this group of liars."
The general is preparing to wipe out this group of crooks all at once. The ground forces are quickly encircling the Dumai area. The advantage is obvious. Although the navy has lost two main ships, the flagship is still there, as well as missile ships and submarines. With the cooperation of the air force, it should be easy to eliminate the opponent, but we don't know where the two submarines are hiding, so we need to stay vigilant.
In the early morning, the submarine that went for a sneak attack was unexpectedly attacked by an anti-submarine helicopter. One of them was directly destroyed, making the general furious. Before the large-scale attack could be launched, it was driven away by two large-displacement destroyers. The ship was heavily damaged. The sign forced the general to abandon the blockade of the strait.
"What? What happened to the old American warship! That's right." "It's absolutely true, Your Majesty General, the other party insists on safeguarding the right of free navigation in the strait, saying that our blockade of the strait violates the international law of the sea, and we force them to leave, but they have no intention of doing so. The missiles were launched without hesitation, and our missile ships and flagships were attacked.”
The headquarters in Yecheng was stunned. What was going on? The United States ended up attacking its own fleet?
Many media outlets as far away as North America unanimously condemned Coconut City's forceful blockade of the Strait of Malacca. Soon, relevant reports were reprinted by countless countries, and more countries joined the ranks of condemnation.
Amid the overwhelming condemnation, an inconspicuous report seems to have been deliberately ignored by many media. Two United States warships had an accident in the Bay of Bengal. A large number of naval soldiers on the ship were infected with diseases on a large scale due to the accident. Ming Autonomous Region) to restore health.
"Sister, His Highness sent a telegram to praise us." Yang Zhen happily reported to her sister.
"Bring it to me and take a look." Yang Lei put down the document and took the telegram.
"Little sister, you have helped His Highness again. His Highness thinks highly of you."
Yang Zhen was cheerful and looked very excited, "Sister, I really want to go back and take a look. There is a lot of movement now. I want to report on the spot."
Yang Lei shook her head, "Sister, I suggest you follow His Highness's arrangements. You are his external mouthpiece and an important window for him to obtain external support. You should not be too casual."
"But now they are negotiating. If we follow up the report in a timely manner, this will be world-wide exclusive news, which will be very helpful to expand the popularity of our small newspaper. Once we gain popularity, we will not have to spend so much money to attract other newspapers in the future. Once published, we can publish it ourselves”
Over the past year, Yang Zhen was very distressed by paying more than 800,000 U.S. dollars to bribe newspapers in North America to continue reporting on the Coconut City incident. He always wanted to expand the influence of small newspapers and reduce such expenses.
"Sister, don't worry about these details. Fulfilling His Highness's request is the first priority. His Highness doesn't care about the scale of your small newspaper. What he wants is a window, so make his plan first."
Not to mention that Yang Zhen was still struggling with how much money he had spent on external reports, the autonomous region had already gained the "friendship" of the bald eagle. Yang Maosheng sent away the representative of the bald eagle with mixed emotions. His Highness's move left him a little confused. Clear your mind.
"Don't think about it, hurry up and report to the chief."
Song Yan watched Lao Mei's special plane take off with mixed emotions. This time Bald Eagle took away two large-tonnage destroyers and more than 2,000 soldiers for 15 million US dollars. Although he didn't know where the leader got them. , but this transaction must have been a loss.
A helicopter docked at the airport of Zhu Xuefeng's new home in Mischina. Zhu Xuefeng and Qiu Hong were practicing here in hiding during this period. There were no outsiders in the entire new home, except for the guards and service staff, only Zhu Xuefeng and the two of them, and then Liang Yan and Bai Bai. Senior brothers come over occasionally to ask for advice, and old patriarchs come over occasionally to chat secretly.
In the conference room, the three of them were sitting at the coffee table, and Qiu Hong stood stubbornly behind Zhu Xuefeng.
"Chief, after the negotiation, we did not reach the best solution. We did not do well." Song Yan, as the on-site decision-maker of the negotiation, took the initiative to admit his mistakes.
Zhu Xuefeng waved his hand, "It's not that you have no intention, it's that I overestimated the status of the autonomous region in the opponent's heart. It seems that I suffered a bit, but the strategic goal has been achieved. This is success. Okay, I won't say any more, and I will hurry up as planned. Get moving.”
Zhu Xuefeng's original intention was to learn from the last price of Lao America in the Bering Strait, and offered a high price of 50 million. Unexpectedly, Lao America was not blackmailed at all. After all, the autonomous region was not Da Mao and was not qualified to negotiate on an equal footing. In the end, the autonomous region had no choice but to withdraw. It took a big step for the two sides to achieve friendship as they wished, leaving an opportunity to strengthen cooperation.
Bald Eagle took away all the soldiers and two destroyers with a "thank you fee" of US$15 million, but promised to help the autonomous region maintain free navigation in the strait until the other side's fleet evacuated. In this way, Li Xiaojun's fleet safety problem was temporarily solved. .
"Star City acquiesced to our request, but asked us not to use their airport to launch direct attacks."
Zhu Xuefeng nodded, as this was the right thing to do, "Promise them that we will only transfer through their airport. Besides, whether we use it or not is still the same thing. The situation on Golden Island is very good now."
"By the way, if it is really necessary to use fighter planes, we will first transfer to Dumai Airport and then carry out the attack mission."
Zhu Xuefeng explained to Yang Maosheng again, "You have to go to the capital in person and explain some things to your family."
This time we secretly received the Bald Eagle's special plane and reached a secret agreement. As long as the confrontation in the Strait is exposed, it will definitely arouse the attention and suspicion of some interested people. This matter must be clarified.
"Chief, our future policy is to be pro-American?" Seeing Zhu Xuefeng finish the arrangements, Song Yan finally asked his doubts. He couldn't accept that cooperation with Bald Eagle was actually a high-level cooperation.
Zhu Xuefeng looked at the two of them with a smile, "You feel uncomfortable. Come on, let me tell you."
Zhu Xuefeng explained his idea in detail, and the two people's brows gradually relaxed.
"We want to give people the illusion that the small forces are swinging between the big forces. Only in this way can we gain the maximum benefit and accelerate the development of ourselves and our family."
This is the patronage theory of small-state diplomacy in later generations. Smaller and weaker countries can use asymmetric relationships with big powers to benefit themselves through carefully designed diplomatic strategies.
"Your Highness has profound thoughts, and we understand."
In a courtyard in the capital, several old people were sitting together. An old man had just finished reading the latest briefing and said, "This autonomous region is amazing. It has done things that we couldn't do. I, Lao Huang, admire it."
"Not only do you admire me, but I, Lao Li, also admire them very much. Those people officially became Yecheng citizens the year before last. Even if we protest again, we have no reason to intervene. We can only watch our compatriots suffer. It feels uncomfortable."
"Not only do I feel uncomfortable, my heart is bleeding! Lao Li, I heard that they rescued many compatriots, more than the overseas Chinese we brought back. Is it true?"
The old man surnamed Li pointed to another old man, "I heard what Lao Xie said, you can ask him."
Lao Xie nodded, "It's absolutely true. It is said that they are currently confronting the crazy rebel navy in the Strait of Malacca. Now the war between the two sides is about to break out. The situation is very delicate."
"Where does such a small autonomous region have the courage to fight with the other party? The other party is known as the number one in Southeast Asia, and they have the support of Da Mao. It's a pity that they are developing so fast now. If they delay for a few more years, they should have a better chance of winning." Huang The old man felt very sorry.
"Old Huang, what you said is correct, but these beasts didn't give time and are killing everyone. If we wait a few years, all our compatriots will probably be killed."
"Old Li, do you think we should do something? After all, we are our own people." (End of Chapter)
