Spark

the other side.

Due to the changes in the waters of Chiwei Island, the entire layout of both sides has been seriously affected.

When a planned line of defense is penetrated, it means that the pressure on the line of defense in other directions increases sharply.

Moreover, since the investigation of the new type of explosives has not yet been concluded, the other side does not dare to provoke the situation further, because they do not know, if they continue to "can't wait" to speed up the conflict between the two sides as they are now, who will suffer in the end.

Undoubtedly, Gu Kuanmin is the one who is most anxious about the current situation. In his opinion, Big Brother's approach is to put Nandao on fire.

All kinds of preparatory work in the early stage have been completed, and the atmosphere has been set in place.

And now, he actually said that he would temporarily suspend the action?

How can this be?

The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. If you hold on, it is likely to break the bowstring.

——

However, in this case, he has no way to tell the US side, because the other side has very good reasons:

The current risk is rising and does not meet the goals of the previous plan. Once it is expanded, it will not benefit the interests of both parties.

Therefore, Gu Kuanmin could only use his authority as much as possible to maintain the current situation desperately.

".According to the previous clues, we have now summarized three problems that need to be solved urgently."

In the office, You Xijian held a thick stack of documents in his hand, and said calmly:

"First of all, the first issue, which is currently the most controversial issue, is how to deal with the caught fishermen."

"They have been in custody for more than three months, but there has been no substantial progress in the so-called case."

"According to this processing speed, even if it is delayed until next year, there will be no results."

"But the reality is that after the Chiwei Island incident, people on the other side have more radical views on sea power. It is very likely that this will become an important excuse."

"My suggestion is that we must release people as soon as possible and stabilize the situation—at least, we must not let the situation get out of control."

"When I say the situation is out of control, I mean they take supercritical measures—"

"These means."

"No need to explain, I understand."

Before You Xijian continued, Gu Kuanmin interrupted him directly.

He knew very well in his heart that if such measures were really taken, by that time, his own situation would be very passive.

Because, taking advantage of this window period, the other party will get their "phased benefits", and the foreshadowing effect made by one's own side in the early stage will be weakened to the limit.

Want to stimulate them to do it again?

Difficult.

Therefore, You Xijian's strategy can be said to be the current choice of last resort. He can only moderately release some weak signals to maintain the current situation.

The time is short.

Gu Kuanmin let out a long sigh, and said:

"These mainland boys are really geniuses in grasping timing. This timing is too precise, you can't help but admire it."

"Forget it, at this point, just admit defeat."

"It will be announced tomorrow that the fishermen and fishing boats will be released."

"However, it needs to be escorted to the center line by our security ship for handover."

Gu Kuanmin played a clever trick. He tried to use this kind of action to re-establish the consensus on the "middle line".

You Xijian naturally understood what he was thinking, but he felt that it was harmless, so he didn't say much.

"Since you passed this point, let's move on to the next question."

"A question about the Roosevelt."

"Or, it's a question of Pickering's visit."

"The two belong to the same plan. On the Pickering side, Jefferson is still pushing, but on the Roosevelt side, the turret seems to want to delay."

"The two sides have started to diverge, which is not a good sign."

"And the decision we have to make is, do we want to go ahead with the Pickering plan?"

"To be honest, this plan can bring us too little actual benefit, and it is not as good as the previous arms sales contract."

"My suggestion is, it's better to stop now, while there is still time."

"Absolutely not."

Gu Kuanmin shook his head resolutely, and You Xijian was not at all surprised by his reaction.

He knows this old man too well. In the eyes of this old man, the so-called "political resources" are everything, and the composition of political resources is closely related to the so-called popular popularity, public opinion, and public opinion support.

So, how could he miss this great opportunity? ——

The reason why You Xijian wanted to bring it up was just to try his luck, to see if he could convince the other party.

"...then at least we can turn off the transponder and let them land quietly."

"Then their visit would be meaningless."

Gu Kuanmin shook his head again, and said to You Xijian in a relieved tone:

"Don't worry, on this matter, we have done many preparations and trials before, but the opponent's performance is relatively not intense."

"Instead of worrying about the visit itself, we might as well worry about the USS Roosevelt. If they don't want to come here as planned, we will be under a lot of pressure."

"So, we should not only mention this matter, but also take it as the main task in the near future, and take full actions to force the turret to cooperate."

"Only in this way can we be completely tied up."

"Only in this way can our safety be guaranteed to the greatest extent."

"It sounds risky, but believe me, it's the only right thing to do"

You Xijian frowned, he wanted to speak several times, but finally swallowed the words.

Since I can't persuade him, I can only support him with all my strength, and the road will go dark.

"Then let's talk about the third question. About the rumored fourth-generation nuclear weapons."

"We have received shared intelligence that the new weapons used over there this time are confirmed to be fourth-generation nuclear weapons, namely metal hydrogen weapons."

"This is a step forward, and we have to be prepared for it."

"Whether it's the military, industrial or social environment, there is potential for major changes in the short term."

"I want to talk to you"

"Don't report to me, go discuss it with the research institute."

Gu Kuanmin interrupted You Xijian, and then continued:

"I don't have the energy to take care of things that are too far away now. According to the plan, three days later, it will be time for Pickering to take off."

"I have to check all the details with them to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Seeing Gu Kuanmin's expression, You Xijian shook his head helplessly.

He didn't know what language to use to describe his mood, he just felt that the direction of this old man seemed to have completely gone astray.

A few hours later, a message was announced.

The content of the news was not much, and the time of release was extremely dark, but it still couldn't stop the people who followed the matter from reposting the news on the Internet as soon as possible.

"...the detained fishermen will be released, and all fishermen will be released without charge."

"It is understood that after several months of investigation and evidence collection, this group of fishermen did not carry out espionage operations. According to the judgment of the High Court, the case was not accepted and the suspect was released in court."

"Out of humanitarian considerations, the South Island will compensate the detained fishermen for economic losses of 300,000 yuan, and will arrange ships to escort the fishing boats out of the waters of the South Island."

As soon as the news came out, even in the middle of the night, the traffic on the forum also exploded.

Discussions are continuously refreshed one by one, and to sum up, the core idea of ​​netizens is one:

National defense is the real foundation of diplomacy.

Or else?

Tried everything before to no avail.

But unexpectedly, as soon as the Chiwei Island incident happened, the matter would be resolved immediately.

Compensation of 300,000 yuan, escort to the sea --- this kind of treatment can be regarded as the only one in the past ten years.

"It's good to be able to come back. I have suffered in the past few months. 300,000 is not much, but it is not far away."

"Did you see? Disobedient boys have to be beaten. If you don't beat them, they won't understand!"

"Gu Kuanmin is so cowardly? He was overwhelmed in two shots. When will we show them Julang-3?"

"Stop talking nonsense. It is said that the fishing boat has already left the port. Is there a live broadcast?"

"Where can I find you a live broadcast of this thing. I can roughly see the location. There is indeed a ship accompanying it. It should be the security ship they said."

"What about our side? No one will pick it up?"

"We have a boat to pick it up. It's our own maritime ship—grandma's. We have to show them off and let them know that we are not easy to mess with."

"Then it's better to let the Liaoning ship pick it up."

"Stop talking nonsense, it's not the aircraft carrier's turn to deal with such a trivial matter."

At the same time, when the Internet was discussing this matter endlessly, a "marine police ship" was sailing on the sea, heading for the so-called center line at the highest speed.

The task performed by this ship is actually very simple, that is, to wait for the handover two nautical miles away from the center line in advance before the other party reaches the center line, so as to avoid the other party's hype about the so-called "center line handover" and cause unnecessary trouble.

Of course, they will never bring this purpose to the surface. In the previous communication with the South Island, their reason was "our own people must be brought back by ourselves."

It is obviously impossible for the two parties to reach an agreement on this matter, so the situation began to turn in a strange direction:

racing.

Whoever is faster will be able to cross the center line ahead of time.

As a result, both the security ship of the South Island and the coast guard ship had already driven to the maximum horsepower, and the turbines were running at full capacity. The slightly old hull hit the waves, causing waves several meters high.

However, compared to speed, this 051-modified coast guard ship still has a natural advantage.

After all, the large missile boat is not called for nothing. In a trial voyage that year, it even achieved a limit speed of 37 knots.

So, the result is also obvious.

When the fishing boat and the security boat arrived late, 051 had already been waiting on the sea in a leisurely manner.

The captain looked at the pitifully small security ship opposite with a smile on his face, while the other party's face was as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

——

It's certainly not just because they lost the race and were crossed over the so-called center line.

more importantly.

On the side of this 051, they also saw two other ships.

A 052D class destroyer.

A Red Arrow missile boat.

The two ships parked behind the "marine police ship" brazenly, blatantly releasing their unique coercion.

The security captain's expression was a bit ugly, he knew that his plan had come to nothing.

But now, it is impossible for him to turn back and push the fishing boat back.

No matter how aggrieved and disgusted he felt, he could only bite the bullet and finish the process.

So, he turned on the radio and shouted to the coast guard ship opposite:

"The fishing boat has been brought here, and all 14 people on board have undergone medical examinations and are in good health."

"Currently, there is still one of our navigators and four security personnel on board."

"After waiting for our personnel to withdraw, the handover can be completed."

After speaking, he put down the radio and waited quietly for the other party's answer.

It's a lie to say that you're not nervous—what if the other party finds fault on purpose? What if the other party asks you to make an unplanned compromise? What if they directly detain a few of their own people on board?

After all, those two warships were standing side by side, while our own warships were still more than ten nautical miles away.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the other party's reply came from his radio.

Only two simple words:

"receive."

But this made him breathe a sigh of relief.

He immediately ordered the personnel to evacuate, and he was completely relieved when the small boat approached the security boat and the personnel began to board the boat.

At the same time, our own support ships have also arrived.

finally it's over

Although the other party did take some advantage, it had nothing to do with him.

My mission has been completed, and more things are left to those upper-level gentlemen to consider.

Thinking of this, he immediately gave the order to turn around and return to Hong Kong, without even saying a polite "goodbye".

But at the moment when the oars started to rotate again and the security boat started to speed up, the other party's voice suddenly came from his radio.

"Attention ships ahead."

"Your ship has entered our exercise area, please stop the ship immediately for inspection."

"Repeat, please stop the ship immediately for inspection."

The captain was dumbfounded listening to the voice on the radio, he raised his head in disbelief, and looked at the three ships opposite.

At this moment, there is only one thought left in his mind:

What are you kidding?

We just released your men and you're going to arrest us? !
