A certain base.

Ruan Yongliang walked around the office with excitement on his face, the hand holding the wine glass was shaking slightly, and he had not smoked the cigarette between his fingers.

He didn't want to hide his emotions at all, which was inconsistent with his consistent principles, but at this moment, he felt that all so-called principles were no longer important.

Just now, he received a call from his superior, and the man on the phone revealed to him something that could be said to be absolutely explosive news.

Americans are coming to Annan!

The aircraft carrier formation is coming to the port!

How important is this news?

It is no exaggeration to say that it was as important as saving his life.

Just a few hours ago, he was still dejected by the defeat on the sea, and he couldn't help but worry about the punishment he would receive from his superiors.

After all, the naval force under his jurisdiction was being chased and beaten by a "fishery administration ship"!

Even in the process, there was not even any effective counterattack!——

Of course, this cannot be blamed on his soldiers.

Because when what happened at that time, when the fishery administration ship used high-pressure water cannons to attack its own ships, the black muzzle of the naval gun that the fishery administration ship had not had time to dismantle did not move away from its target.

In that case, do you dare to resist?

If someone really fired the first shot, the outcome would be almost a no-brainer.

It must have paid the price of a sunken ship and contributed another laughing stock to international public opinion.

Of course, superiors don't care about this, they only care about the final result.

All they knew was that we were beaten by the fishery ship, our sailors were washed into the sea, and we almost suffered "non-combat attrition."

Therefore, in this case, punishment is inevitable.

The only thing I can do is to find a way to find a reason and an excuse for myself to put this matter aside in order to recover the losses as much as possible.

And now, just when I couldn't think of a solution after all my thinking, this reason actually came to my door!

The Americans are coming, and they are bringing aircraft carriers to give us a platform. Isn't this the best reason?

Based on this reason, all of my failures are justified.

Yes, it’s not that we don’t dare to resist. The reason why we show so much restraint is actually to increase our chips on the table of the “World Police”.

Now the more cowardly we are, the more chips are on the table.

You see, all the conflicts were provoked by them. Not only did we not confront them tit for tat, we even gave in so much.

But even in this situation, they still pressed forward step by step.

Shouldn't such bullying be punished?

It must be punished!

It's all up to you, Yingjiang!

The more Ruan Yongliang thought about it, the happier he became. He drank up the remaining liquid in the cup, then turned to Ruan Huakai who was standing aside and asked:

"How are the injured people on the ship being accommodated? Has anyone been killed?"

After hearing his words, Ruan Huakai quickly replied:

"No, two people were seriously injured, and many others were slightly injured."

"Most of them fell on their hands on the deck. The two who were seriously injured were more unlucky. The high-pressure jet directly entered the lungs, causing lung damage."

"Just stay alive!"

Ruan Yongliang nodded and continued:

"Remember, you must not let them die. I will keep them for great use!"

"Also, you should contact the media immediately - not domestic media! Call the BBC, Wall Street Journal, and AFP all over!"

"I want to conduct an exclusive interview with these combat heroes and ask them to talk about what happened at sea and how those people insulted them!"

"Understood, I will arrange it."

Ruan Huakai nodded solemnly, and then asked:

"In addition, should we also start our military preparations?"

"Judging from the current situation, the other party is bound to win Treasure Island. We will inevitably have a more intense conflict in the future. If we don't prepare now, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"No, don't prepare!"

Ruan Yongliang quickly interrupted him, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke again:

"At least, our preparations cannot be made public."

"You should know what I want to do - what I want to create is the image of a perfect victim."

"Once we start to intensify our efforts, this image will be shattered, which is absolutely uneconomical for us."

"But... should we just watch them showing off their power?"

Ruan Huakai frowned. He could understand the so-called "perfect victim" theory, but he couldn't understand why he did this.

It is obvious that our own side no longer has the advantage on the sea, so why not take advantage of now, before the opponent's forces have been fully deployed, to attack quickly to win the victory?

If we really wait until the window period has passed and the other party deploys warships near Treasure Island, how can we still have any chance?

it's like

A stupid move, and an extremely stupid one at that.

Looking at Ruan Huakai's expression, Ruan Yongliang also guessed his thoughts, so he took a deep breath, calmed down his turbulent emotions, sat on the chair and said:

"Son, I know you are motivated and capable."

"It's normal that you want to fight."

"But, what I have to tell you is that with our current strength, we simply cannot compete with those people!"

"Even if we take the initiative and capture Treasure Island in one fell swoop, so what?"

"How long can we hold that island? A day? A month? A year?"

"When their fleet comes over, we won't have any power to fight back. What happened before is a lesson for others!"

"So, we can't do the same stupid thing a second time."

"We must learn to use the strength of others, and we must learn to join forces vertically and horizontally. This is the survival wisdom of a small country."

Ruan Huakai slowly sat on the sofa beside him and looked at Ruan Yongliang, who was in high spirits at this time.

In his heart, he always felt that there was something wrong with such a plan, but when he thought about it seriously, he felt that the logic was smooth and he could not find a reason to refute it.

After thinking for a long time, he came up with no results, so he had no choice but to say:

"alright, I got it."

"I will do what you say. But, will they really take action?"

"have no idea!"

Ruan Yongliang answered decisively.

Before Ruan Huakai could speak, he continued:

"But what we have to do is let everyone imagine that the United States will definitely take action!"

"Therefore, our drama must be as perfect as possible. It must be enough to make everyone who sees it think that under such circumstances, it is impossible for Americans to ignore it."

Having said this, Ruan Yongliang paused for a moment, and then suddenly stood up.

"Yes, the drama is not enough now"

"From today on, our military will no longer approach that sea area."

"Let our fisherman go!"

"Let them go there to fish, let them go there to reclaim the sea."

"And we must try our best to make them conflict with each other, no matter what kind of conflict it is!"

"When it's almost brewing, we'll finish it - and when we finish it, it's time for the Americans to step in!"

"Also, the last conflict was also an opportunity."

"But it's such a coincidence that none of our soldiers were killed."

As he spoke, Ruan Yongliang looked at Ruan Huakai with burning eyes.

"Didn't you say that two sailors were seriously injured?"

"I think you should know how to do it, right?"

One day later, in a military hospital at the port base.
