Chapter 135

Seeing Xu Wen and Sang Xiaoqing’s worried faces, she couldn’t refuse any longer: ”Don’t worry! If the situation changes If there is a change in the situation, the troops will definitely arrange for us to evacuate first without your urging”

When Xu Wen and Sang Xiaoqing thought about it, it was also the same thing, so they didn’t try to persuade them anymore

Xu Wen had been stubborn since he was a child, and no one could persuade him to listen to what he had decided

Besides, there was no one in the world more trustworthy than Lu Yuanzheng and his profession

With them around, Xu Man should be fine

However, an accident like the one yesterday is not out of the question

Xu Wen and Sang Xiaoqing were still uneasy and wanted to stay on the island with Xu Man

Xu Wen was forcibly persuaded to leave, “This may be a protracted battle Maybe the other party will not leave for a year or two If we don’t do our business, will you and your mom and dad Chunsheng not eat? We are just ordinary people Live a good life is not to cause trouble for the country”

Xu Wen was still uneasy and warned Xu Man, “Don’t be a little naughty, crying and pestering Lu Yuanzheng and refusing to leave Otherwise, I’ll call home I’ll have mom and dad invite you”

Xu Man cried and laughed, “Brother! I’m already in my twenties, how can I do such a thing?”

Xu Wen bristled, “You’ve always been more measured in other matters, but when it comes to Lu Yuanzheng, you’ve never listened to advice”

Xu Wen: “”

Xu Wen and Sang Xiaoqing were finally persuaded by Xu Man and left Rainbow Island

This time, they didn’t take the Rainbow ship, but took a detour from the center island to Hai Cheng

Although it was a bit more troublesome and would waste a day, it was safe

In the afternoon, Song Xueqin followed Lu Yuanzheng back to Rainbow Island

They also brought an interpreter with them

However, the results of the questioning were no different from Xu Man’s, and they didn’t even get as much valid information as Xu Man did

Because Xu Man was so harmless, the other side was a little less wary

Song Xueqin stayed on Rainbow Island to have a meeting with the officers and wanted to have dinner at Lu Yuanzheng’s house

Lu Yuanzheng hesitated

Song Xueqin glared: ”What? You can’t even care about me for a meal now?”

“That can’t be The main thing is that my great-uncle is there!”

“That’s just right I’ll meet my in-laws”

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

What else could Lu Yuanzheng say? He could only bring Song Xueqin back to his house

“Where’s brother and sister-in-law?” Lu Yuanzheng looked around and saw no one

“Gone” Xu Wen brought dishes to the table, “I guessed that Uncle Song would come for dinner tonight, so I specially fried two dishes”

Song Xueqin was happy, pointing at Lu Yuanzheng and scolding, “I brought you up for so many years for nothing! He is much more understanding than you”

Turning back, she also complained to Xu Man, “I said I’d come for dinner, but Lu Yuanzheng wouldn’t let me come, saying that your brother and sister-in-law were here”

After a pause, he added, “He didn’t leave because of me, did he?”

“How could it be? You hadn’t come to Rainbow Island when they left! Otherwise, my brother would have stayed to have a drink with you My brother and sister-in-law opened a small restaurant in Pengcheng You can’t always close the door when you’re open for business, right? That’s why they left in a hurry and didn’t wait for Lu Yuanzheng to come back, so they missed the chance to drink with you”

Only then did Song Xueqin put his heart down, “It’s fine, it’s so close, there will be opportunities in the future”

Between meals, Song Xueqin and Lu Yuanzheng would inevitably talk about this

Of course, what could be said in front of Xu Man was something that could be said

The two discussed when the f-nation’s battleships would leave

Song Xueqin guessed, “I’m afraid this ship will have to rot here”

Meaning that the other side was going to fight a protracted war

Lu Yuanzheng disagreed: “I guess they’ll have to leave in a few months at most”

Song Xueqin dipped his index finger into the water in the tea bowl and drew a map on the table

“Let’s Rainbow Island ” Song Xueqin couldn’t help but spit at Lu Yuanzheng when he opened his mouth, “Look at the name of the island you guys came up with!”

This island name is placed on the side of the people who are living peacefully and happily, there is definitely nothing wrong with it, except for the fact that it’s like a kindergarten a little bit or a little bit more beautiful

But

Something as big as a f-nation warship running aground after hitting Rainbow Island was going to be on the international news

By then the newspapers and TV and radio stations around the world will be talking about how a certain country’s Rainbow Island is

Obviously it is a military fortress, but with such a name, it is a little not so serious

What’s even more annoying is that Lu Yuanzheng and their rainbow island is already considered good, at least the rainbow is very beautiful

Other islands and reefs handed to him here island name, one more than a miserable

One of the reefs is called Iron Rooster Reef!

Listen to it Is it like that?

Lu Yuanzheng reminded Song Xueqin: “It’s too late to change the name”

Song Xueqin: “”

Song Xueqin could only skip over the island’s name and continued, “Rainbow Island is at the southernmost tip of the archipelago, and it’s particularly close to Country F”

As he said that, he dipped his tea and nodded in the other three directions, “We also have an island and a reef in the northwestern and northeastern directions Together with this island to the north of country f, we’ll be able to completely block country f from our sea defenses

This is still only from a military perspective, if we count all kinds of resources If we take into account all kinds of resources, such as fishing resources, mineral resources, and other energy considerations, then the location of Rainbow Island is even more crucial

If we lose Rainbow Island, then we not only lose the vital node of territorial waters Even the islands and large areas of the reef will be damaged

I believe that the F-nation has seen this point, and that’s why they’ve intentionally made a ship to disgust us Right at our doorstep, making it difficult for us to get in and out Even if they don’t interfere, it’s hard to be watched by a pair of eyes every day If they accidentally find out the bottom of Rainbow Island, it will only be a big trouble for us

However, this can’t be accomplished overnight We are not fish and meat to be slaughtered either They must have prepared a plan to stay here for a long time In my opinion, they definitely won’t be able to ‘fix’ this ship for a while”

Lu Yuanzheng nodded in agreement, “You are right But there are two points you have overlooked First, if they were to fight a prolonged war, they wouldn’t have sent such an advanced ship This ship is not cheap to build, so it would be a waste to use it as a sightseeing ship Even the best ship will be corroded and rusted if it’s left at sea for a long period of time They can’t squander so much money just to park it heref country is not a rich country

The focus is on the second ”

Lu Yuanzheng grunted lightly, “I won’t allow them to stay parked under my nose Either they get rid of me or I get rid of them My bottom line is three months I’ll sink the ship for them if they don’t leave within three months!”

Song Xueqin sank his face and admonished him, “Don’t be reckless! You know what it means to be bent on having your way”

If Lu Yuanzheng did this, then it would be considered a violation of military orders

When the time came, in order to avoid a war between the two countries, this could only be described as Lu Yuanzheng’s personal behavior

Even if Lu Yuanzheng succeeded in sinking the ship, he wouldn’t be able to become a martyr, not to mention he would have to be a sinner for destroying the diplomatic relations between the two countries

It’s not worth it!

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at Xu Wen and gave a hmmm, “As I said, it’s a case of last resort”

Seeing how confident he was, Song Xueqin asked, “Any ideas yet?”

“Not yet”

Song Xueqin: “”

Xuqin: “”

Not as sure as you say

Song Xueqin didn’t have the good sense to say, “Then be honest and don’t be impulsive This matter has already been reported When the time comes, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will communicate with f country Before there are any results, you’re not allowed to act rashly!”

“I know”

Song Xueqin couldn’t tell if Lu Yuanzheng really knew or not

However, Lu Yuanzheng really hadn’t done anything impulsive in his nearly ten years in the military, and he had formulated the best plan before every action It was just that he also had a problem

In his past scenarios, it would definitely be the one with the smallest sacrifice and the greatest degree to win the victory, but, not including himself

He must be the one who takes the most risks

Sending death is also the first on

Thinking of this, Song Xueqin was both relieved and uneasy, and asked Xu, “Keep an eye on him Don’t let him fool around!”

Xu asked with a hmm

“There’s one more thing” Song Xueqin glanced at Xu Man, “This time, the enemy ship’s self-inflicted injury means that there’s no telling what the situation will be like in the future It’s hard to guarantee the safety of you military dependents on the island In a couple days, I’ll arrange for someone to come and pick you up for evacuation”

Xu Man frowned, “Can we not leave?”

“I know you’re uneasy about Zheng Zi But in the grand scheme of things, one has to go! You understand this”

Xu Man stopped talking

She wasn’t someone who didn’t understand

Even Xu Wen knew that they were all a liability in a real fight, and Xu Wen couldn’t just love her brain and ignore everything

Now was different from yesterday

Yesterday that was having no choice, today it was being able to safely evacuate

She couldn’t let Lu Yuanzheng tie her hands in order to protect her

Since there was no conflict for the time being, after Lu Yuanzheng arranged for the warriors to change their posts, everyone else lived and rested as usual

Even Song Xueqin left the next day

The attitude was obvious, just not to play with the enemy

But Xu Man wasn’t too at ease, she didn’t want to leave

Like Lu Yuanzheng said, if she didn’t want to leave, the enemy ship would have to leave

If one had to choose between the two, of course one would choose to send the enemy thousands of miles away

At night, before going to bed, the two of them lay in bed

Xu Man discussed this with Lu Yuanzheng

“What’s your solution?”

Xu Man shook his head, “I don’t Not only do I not have one in my last life, I’ve heard a similar story But it didn’t happen in the seventh or so years but at the end of the twentieth century There was a country that ran a raggedy battleship aground near one of our reefs in the South China Sea It was the same story as this one

It’s been stranded for twenty years The difference is that the other country used a raggedy ship, and this time the f-nation was a top-notch ship And it wasn’t a grounding, it was a direct collision”

Things seemed a little more serious now

Lufthansa frowned, clearly this was not the direction he wanted to hear the story go

“I’ve heard of another incident But it’s something that was hearsay and then was the subject of much speculation We’re on the sea here, and what goes on in the sea goes on in the air The story goes that one time the enemy, also provocative, flew an airplane into our territory, repeated warnings were not heeded, and then it was run down by one of our particularly gallant pilots About as similar as your behavior yesterday What’s different is that your yesterday was called sending a plane to its death, and the other guy was going down with it”

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

“And then what happened?”

“Then our pilots died The other side’s airplane landed in our territory Afterward, you know, there was definitely an international dialog going on, like two kids fighting, each on their own And finally the wreckage of that airplane was returned But originally, our technology in building airplanes was far behind others by three or four models After this incident, our technology jumped two levels in a row Everyone has privately speculated if we learned something from that crashed airplane”

Lu Yuanzheng’s eyes lit up

The other party had sailed over a ship that was currently the most advanced in the world

If they could get the key technology on this warship, then being bumped this time would not be a loss

This was a good deal

After a short period of excitement, Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen calmed down again

The sea was still different from the air

What happened in the air, the truth is only known to the parties involved and a small number of people

Moreover, the airplanes of both sides were piloted by one or two people each, so the casualties were limited

Rainbow Island is not the same as the other side’s warships

Rainbow Island nearly a thousand officers and men, but the other side of a large warship can also accommodate a lot of officers and men

If we don’t consider reinforcements, it’s not certain who will suffer

Rainbow Island was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the enemy’s battleship was really advanced, in case it was equipped with high-end weapons, it might be able to realize a military pincer movement against Rainbow Island

At this stage, both sides couldn’t figure out the other side’s bottom line, plus the Foreign Ministry was still in the process of negotiating, so it was peaceful for the time being

As long as one side revealed its bottom card first, the other side would immediately lose its advantage

So, it depends on who gets the king first in this matchup

After Lu Yuanzheng figured it out, he immediately moved to the battalion headquarters and ordered to strengthen the whole island’s defense, strictly forbidding any strangers to sneak onto the island

Rainbow Island is under martial law all the time, if not necessary not allowed to leave the island

Make sure that the whole island has no dead angle, not to leave any opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of

In addition, the ship was under twenty-four hour surveillance, and patrol boats circled the ship with weapons clearly erected to ensure that the other party could not leave the ship and act rashly

Lu Yuanzheng also had someone go to the center island and buy fishing nets back and stop them under the sea

Although it wasn’t cheap to build, there was no way for their men to dive onto the island

Unless a team of frogmen entered from the bottom of the sea

But the closer they got to the island the shallower the sea became, and the fishing nets could touch the bottom

Especially they this net does not aim at fishing, in which they hide a lot of such as iron nails, razor blades, thistles and other concealed weapons

In addition, not only in the edge of the island to build a small Great Wall-like fence, but also urgently to the upper report, requesting reclamation

The intention was to get a ring of sea fence around the other side’s ship, trapping the ship in it So that they can’t see anything

The other side doesn’t agree?

I can do whatever I want to my home turf, what do I care?

If you don’t agree, why don’t you take the ship away?

There’s still a big problem

The side where the warship hit is a bit of a cliff for those standing on Rainbow Island

It’s a few meters from the high ground to the sea

It crashed into the island, it wasn’t even technically stranded, it could definitely go

This also means that this section of the sea is particularly deep and not at all easy to fill in

Other countries aren’t stupid, and they must have figured this out before they chose this angle to hit

No matter what, it’s not pleasant for anyone to have such a thing blocked in front of their home

Everyone wants to get rid of it

There just wasn’t a good way to do it

Xu Man circled around the Rainbow twice in a heartbreaking manner

After that dabble in the sea, the other side’s Kaya warship might be fine, but the Rainbow was badly injured

It would cost a lot of money to repair it

Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng had only emptied their family funds to buy Xu Wen’s house, so how could they afford to repair the ship?

Dongsheng was also indignant, pinching his waist and lecturing Xu Man: “How did you and dad take care of the Rainbow? Why did you let the Rainbow get hit by someone? What did you teach me?

You told me that if an innocent person my own age hits me, I should hit him back If a kid older than me hits me, I’ll go to the other kid’s mom or dad! So when the Rainbow was hit, did you guys hit it back or sue?”

Xu Wen had a flash of inspiration, his brows revealed a smile, and he squatted down to give Dongsheng a kiss on his little cheeks, “Dongsheng, you’re truly my little baby! Thank you!”

After saying that, he climbed up and ran, not forgetting to greet Dongsheng: “Go, find your father!”

In the past, he could let Dongsheng run around the island alone, but not now

No one could afford to gamble on that eventuality

So even if Xu Wen didn’t leave the island, he had to stay with Dongsheng every inch of the way

Dongsheng inexplicably rubbed the back of his head, not understanding why Ma Ma was still so happy even though he had clearly said Ma Ma

He ran a few steps and then slowed down, Ma Ma will not be angry to send him to his father to beat up, right?

Dongsheng eyeballs rolled intended to escape

Xu Wen happened to turn around and saw him running slower and slower, turned back over, holding his hand, “Run a little faster! I have something very important to tell dad”

Dongsheng: “”

Dongsheng answered and quickly followed Xu Wen

It was good that he wasn’t beating him up

Arriving at the battalion headquarters, handing Dongsheng over to the clerk, Xu Man went to find Lu Yuanzheng, who was in the middle of a meeting

The theme of the meeting these days was just one, how to get rid of the Kaya
