At this time, Xia Bohai turned his head to Wang Yunpeng, an official of the State Council, and said: "Director Wang, I would like to ask a few of your comrades to work hard tonight, assist our soldiers, stabilize the mass personnel on the ship, and let the army fight with peace of mind. ”

Although they were invited to attend the military meeting, Wang Yunpeng and the other four did not speak, but listened to the discussions of the others until Xia Bohai spoke to him, then nodded and said: "Please rest assured, the headquarters has also decided not to rest tonight, take turns on duty on the ship, strengthen vigilance, in case of sudden incidents, and will fully cooperate with the army's combat mission." ”

Xia Bohai also nodded, very satisfied with Wang Yunpeng's reply, and said: "Also, after capturing Dagukou tonight, we will officially go ashore, and we will announce the fact of crossing like the masses on the three passenger ro-ro boats, at that time there must be many people's emotions fluctuating, so I also ask you to do more work to calm the emotions of the masses, think more about what may happen, and prevent accidents from happening." In addition, after we go ashore, we will start to establish our base area, we are all soldiers, and we are experts in fighting wars, but we have to engage in construction, and the organization and administrative organs are laymen, and you have more experience in this area than us, so you have to take on more responsibilities, and the Qin political commissar has some ideas in this regard, and after the meeting is over, you will discuss it in detail, and it is best to come up with a few plans. ”

Wang Yunpeng said: " Okay, let's discuss it in detail with Political Commissar Qin in a while, but we also discussed some situations last night, now there are more than 3,000 people on the three passenger ro-ro ships, plus the staff on the ship, there are about 35,600 people in total, and we only have more than 10 people, once the official announcement of our crossing, only a dozen of us, it is very difficult to appease everyone's emotions, I think it is not possible to give an account to a few people today, then they have a mental preparation, after the official announcement, they can also help us to appease the emotions of other people, I don't know if it is feasible outside the department。 ”

Qin Zheng said: "Director Wang, your suggestion is very good, our consideration is indeed a little negligent, and it is feasible in principle." However, the candidates who have been notified in advance must be carefully considered, they must be reliable, credible, and able to keep this secret until we announce it. ”

Wang Yunpeng immediately said: "Okay, the political commissar will consider meeting more, and we will definitely come up with a feasible plan." ”

At this time, Xia Bohai looked at everyone again and said: "Okay, that's all for today's meeting, after the meeting, the chief of staff and the battalion commander will discuss the plan for the landing operation, and the political commissar and Director Wang will discuss the construction plan after going ashore, and everyone else will go back to prepare, gather at eleven o'clock tonight, and set off on time at twelve o'clock." ”

So all the captains got up, left the conference room, and returned to their respective warships to prepare for the battle tonight. Xiao Jianjun and Chu Yaping, as well as Qin Zheng and Wang Yunpeng, Xu Jichao, Shang Qisong, Li Sanjie and others began to negotiate in detail.

About two hours later, Xiao Jianjun and Chu Yaping drew up a landing operation plan.

The Marines brought by the crossing fleet this time were two Marine battalions and a separate Marine Company, that is, the Marine Company to which Luo Yue's platoon belonged, and there were still two platoons left at this time, so they were left to assist the Taihu Ship to defend the three RoPax ships. There was also a two-pronged armored battalion.

Dagukou is actually a coastal defense fortress, mainly including a port and a battery, and the port is paid for by the fleet, so the target of the landing force is the Dagukou battery.

Since Dagukou is the maritime gateway of Beijing, the geographical location is crucial, and in the Second Opium War, the British and French forces landed at Dagukou and attacked Beijing. Therefore, after the Westernization Movement, the Qing government strengthened the vigilance of Dagukou, consisting of four forts to form the defense system of Dagukou, which was arranged in a field shape on both sides of the Haihe River, equipped with German-style Krupp artillery, Armstrong artillery and domestic imitation of various calibers of artillery with a total of more than 170 pieces, and a standing garrison of more than 3,000 people.

When the Eight-Nation Coalition Army landed from Dagukou, there was a fierce battle between the fort and the fleet, which lasted more than six hours, and then the coalition forces landed from the side of Dagukou, which was regarded as the capture of Dagukou, and the artillery on the fort naturally became the trophies of the coalition forces, and the small and medium-caliber artillery was dismantled for the attack on Tianjin. Beijing uses, and the large-caliber artillery is still left on the battery, but the coalition forces have no intention of using the fort to defend Dagukou, because the strength of the coalition forces is limited, the strength of the troops stationed in Dagukou is only 500 Japanese troops, it is difficult to divide the troops to defend the four batteries, and now there are more than 20 warships of various countries moored at Dagukou, which are powerful and do not need batteries to guard at all, so each fort only sends a small number of soldiers to guard.

However, the crossing fleet cannot take the Dagukou fort lightly, and must first capture these four forts. However, considering that Dagukou had already sent troops to attack Hejiawan Village, there would never be many troops left, and they had to divide their troops to defend the four batteries, so Xiao Jianjun and Chu Yaping decided to dispatch four straight 8F helicopters, each carrying a platoon and a mortar squad, to carry out airborne landing operations on the four batteries, while the two Type 726 air-cushion landing craft carried by the Changbaishan ship each carried two companies and a mortar platoon were to be met by the surface landing, and two amphibious companies were also dispatched to launch directly from the Changbaishan ship to cooperate with the operation. In this way, an air-sea amphibious landing operation is formed.

Once the fort is occupied, each platoon will be left to guard the fort, and the rest of the troops will work together to attack the Dagukou headquarters, plus the amphibious installation company, to fully occupy the Dagukou. Xia Bohai was also quite satisfied with this landing operation plan, because this plan could give full play to the advantages of the crossing fleet.

After more than an hour, it was not until more than one o'clock in the afternoon that Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng, Xu Jichao, Shang Qisong, Li Sanjie and others came out of the conference room, and Qin Zheng put them on the speedboat before returning to the headquarters and reporting the results of the consultation to Xia Bohai.

And Wang Yunpeng and the others boarded the speedboat and headed towards the Longxing Island Ro-Ro passenger ship.

The Kunming ship was about 3,000 meters away from the Longxing Island Ro-Ro passenger ship, and it would take more than 20 minutes for the boat to drive back. And Shang Qisong and Li Sanjie sat in the cabin, thinking about their own thoughts.

A total of 10 non-military personnel took part in the evacuation mission, headed by Wang Yunpeng, an official of the State Council, Xu Jichao, an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as his deputy, as well as officials Zhang Yuming and Jia Zhenzhao, clerks Li Songchen, Wang Sheng, Zeng Dong, and Jia Wenbo, and Shang Qisong and Jiang Shiwei, personnel of the Ministry of State Security. The embassy counselor Li Sanjie and the second-level secretary Ye Yanfu, who accompanied the fleet on the reverse journey, returned to China to renew their duties, while the entire embassy remained in the local area, because although the situation in the country was chaotic, the capital could still ensure security for the time being, and there was no need for the embassy to evacuate.

However, the non-military personnel involved in the evacuation of overseas Chinese are not of high rank, Wang Yunpeng is only at the level of department director, Xu Jichao is at the level of deputy director, the other two officials are at the department level, and the clerks are all at the section level or section members. The country's embassy is a division-level embassy, so the administrative level of Counselor Li Sanjie is the deputy director-general level, and the second-level secretary Ye Yanfu is the deputy director-level level.

Because the evacuation of overseas Chinese was mainly dominated by the army, there were not many foreign affairs affairs, and the embassy could basically handle them, and the supreme commander of the fleet, Xia Bohai, had the rank of colonel, which was equivalent to the deputy post of the administrative department and department.

Although they both work in the central system, there is no intersection between Wang Yunpeng and Xu Jichao, it can be said that before this mission, the two did not know each other at all, because cadres at the department and bureau level like them, if they are at the local level, they may be regarded as not small officials, but in the central administrative region, cadres at the provincial and ministerial level can be said to be grasped in a handful, and the department, department and bureau level can only be counted in a pile, and the two do not belong to the same department, of course, they will not know each other. And after this mission, they will also go their separate ways, and the chance of getting together again in the future is really not very large.

But this crossing has brought the two closer, because in the foreseeable future, the two are expected to work together, and after all, they are both people in the same system, and they feel much closer, so both of them also have the idea of deepening their relationship and forming the same camp. At today's military meeting, the military has made it clear that it will establish its own regime in this time and space.

Having political power means that there will be political action, so it is only natural that the executive will have a day to come out. However, both of them also understand that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there are rivers and lakes, there are circles, and there are small circles in the big circles, although both of them can only be regarded as middle-level officials, but before the crossing, the two still have their own circles, in fact, if there is no circle, the two of them will not be able to be promoted to their current position, although the two of them do have the ability to meet their current position,

In a sense, political activities are activities that encircle people, abilities, and opportunities. This is no exception to China and foreign countries, whether it is so-called democracy or autocracy.

However, neither of them is the core member of their circle or the key training personnel, and the two of them were sent to participate in this evacuation mission, not because there is any special test for the two, but because both of them have worked in the Middle East and are familiar with the environment in this region, and Dan Xu Jichao is also proficient in Arabic. Of course, if the two of them can complete the task well, and after returning to China, it is also a political capital for the two of them, and it is possible to be promoted to the next level, or take a step towards the inner circle, but the probability of wanting to be promoted to a high position is not great.

But after the crossing, all of this will be gone.
