Chapter 500: Hands-on
Reunion, Alexandria-for-Martial.
Colonel Merck sat silently in his office on the warship, however, because he was alone in the office, there was no need to hide what he was thinking, and the expression on his face revealed the heaviness of his heart.
As a member of the Navy of Rénia, at this moment, he is facing the situation that a major war is imminent, and his mood is indeed not relaxed.
Not long ago, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy held an operational meeting at the Navy Building in Alexandria Harbor, at which a battle plan was quickly and unambiguously adopted, and this battle plan was the source of Colonel Merck's embarrassment - only one military question was discussed: how to annihilate the Hinghwa Navy and force the Hinghwa Island government to surrender.
When Colonel Merck received this order, he was surprised beyond words, but then he was able to explain the anomaly he had seen before, and why the Navy Command had rarely and suddenly gathered more than eighty percent of the Navy's warships in Alexandria.
A strong sense of unease quickly swelled up in Colonel Merck's mind at this moment, especially when he learned that the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy had launched this attack on Xinghua Island in a private act that had bypassed the central government of Rénia.
After all, this military operation was not a raid on local armed forces as usual, but a real war between the two countries. However, the battle plan that would trigger a rupture of diplomatic relations between the two countries would actually be to bypass the support of the Rénian government. It was not even authorized by Parliament. It's incredible!
The deeper you think. Colonel Merck felt more and more that his head ached. In fact, if given the opportunity to choose, Colonel Merck sincerely disagreed with this battle plan, because he knew very well that this was a hot potato at all, and it was better for him not to take on this operation himself.
Not to mention the private actions of the Navy this time, if it fails. Even if they were able to attack bravely and finally succeed in defeating the Xinghua Island Navy in one fell swoop, thus forcing the government of Xinghua Island to surrender and make outstanding military achievements, they might still be severely punished by the top echelons of the national government for committing the crime of private action.
Not only that, but Colonel Merck has not never had contact with the island nation of Xinghua, on the contrary. He's for this country, and for the people of this country. has his own understanding, and it is precisely with his small but accurate understanding of Xinghua Island that Colonel Merck does not agree with this upcoming military attack in his heart.
First of all, Xinghua Island is not a region, but a sovereign country, and more importantly, not long ago, Xinghua Island also successfully joined the League of Nations, which is already a well-known international news.
Secondly, Colonel Merck himself was able to personally prove that Xinghua Island has an ally in Blue Mercury, that is, Huaguo. The reason why Colonel Merck was so sure of this news was because the last time, when he was going to embarrass Xinghua Island and make Xinghua Island have to take care of them, the Chinese people came out to interfere. Huaguo's status in Blue Mercury is quite high, so it is conceivable that if the Reunion Navy once again embarrasses Xinghua Island this time, Huaguo will naturally not give up. In fact, based on this alone, Colonel Merck already believes that even if the commander-in-chief of the Navy wants to take action, he should at least get the authorization of the government or parliamentarians in advance, so as not to make the situation difficult to clean up when the East Window incident occurs.
However, regardless of Colonel Merck's own thoughts, the Navy Command has long been obstinate, set a clear plan of action, and Colonel Merck is on the list, just as the so-called military orders are like mountains and cannot be violated, at this moment, Colonel Merck is truly in a dilemma.
Soldiers were accustomed to obedience, and Colonel Merck eventually chose to remain silent and obey orders.
Looking closely at the Commander-in-Chief's entire set of action plans, Colonel Merck can more or less see the Commander-in-Chief's purpose and why he made such a bold decision.
Because, as long as they succeed, the Navy of Rénia will make a qualitative leap. The United States of America will fulfill their promise to support the Rénian Navy and provide a large number of interest-free loans to support the economic development of Rénia. In other words, if they succeeded, the Rénian government would probably not punish their navy because of the economic aid of the United States.
This statement is at odds with Colonel Merck's own conjectures, should he give it a go?
Di Di Di ......
The ringing of the telephone inside the warship interrupted Colonel Merck's musings, and he came back to his senses, then picked up the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Colonel, your lady has called you, and she says she has an urgent family matter to discuss with you. On the other end of the phone, the voice of the soldier on duty in the maintenance room came.
The rules of the armed forces have always been particularly strict. Under normal circumstances, military officers are not allowed to directly answer private phone calls when they are on duty, if there is any private matter, such as now, if the family needs to contact the officer on duty, it is first necessary to call the maintenance room, not to the officer on duty, and to indicate the details of the private matter to the maintenance room, so that the duty officer in the maintenance room can make a judgment, whether it can be conveyed, whether there is any threat to the interests of the army or the country, etc., until it is determined that there is no inappropriate situation, the maintenance room will be responsible for contacting the officer and conveying the news。
The army is the army, and even if this kind of regulation reflects that there is no right to privacy, as a soldier, it is naturally necessary to obey.
"Transfer in. Colonel Merck was a little hesitant when he heard that his family was looking for him, but when he heard that it was an urgent family matter, and he thought that he had indeed not been home for more than a month, and had not called home for at least a week, he was a little ashamed. Answer.
"My dear. What's wrong with you?" asked Colonel Merck.
"My dear. I made you some snacks and brought them to you. However, I was not allowed to enter the base. Merck's wife said.
"Recently there was a military demonstration at the base, and martial law is underway. Colonel Merck explained.
"But I'm just outside the base, and I've brought refreshments...... 'Merck's wife's voice trembles.
Colonel Merck did not notice his wife's abnormality, and his guilt prevailed, and he somewhat compensated his wife. Then he said, "Where are you?" and I will go out to see you. ”
"Ah...... Okay, I'll wait for you. Merck's wife exclaimed.
Colonel Merck thought she was just a little surprised and didn't notice what was wrong with his wife.
Merck hung up the phone, walked out of the office, and instructed the guards to prepare a car, and he was going to leave the base for a trip to meet his wife.
After a while, a jeep stopped at the port terminal.
Colonel Merck was accompanied by two guards. Drive the car and leave the port of Alexandria.
Inside a harbor hotel not far from Alexandria Naval Port. Yan Zhong said to a middle-aged woman and a little girl, "You have done a good job, you will definitely survive." ”
These two mother and daughter are the families of Colonel Merck, Yan Zhong's action team, and they tried to control the naval officers of Rénia several times, but because of the strict management of the navy, they were either unable to contact the naval officers, or the naval officers could not leave the base. As a result, Yan Zhong and his team had to take an even more extreme approach, which was also the most radical plan of action planned, to attack the Alexandria military port.
An open-top jeep parked at the gate of the Harbour Guesthouse.
Colonel Merck, accompanied by a guard, walked into the Harbour Hotel. According to the room number provided by his wife, he came to room 504 on the fifth floor.
Merck knocked on the door, and the door of room 504 opened a crack, and he saw his wife.
The wife frowned, made a bitter face, and said, "You are here." ”
Merck laughed, pushed the door open, and said, "Didn't I just not go home for a month?
Merck's guards stood knowingly outside the doorway, with no intention of going inside or going inside.
After a while, the door slammed shut.
Merck was a little surprised when she saw a seven-year-old girl on the bed, and smiled, "Baby, why are you here too." He stepped forward and hugged his daughter.
"Dad, there's an uncle looking for you. Merck's daughter said.
Merck was startled, turned around, and was about to ask who was looking for him. However, Merck was about to say something, but she could no longer say it. Beside his wife, there were three men, holding three swords, one of which was placed around his wife's neck.
"Hello, Colonel Merck. ”
……
Half an hour later, Colonel Merck was sitting in the jeep, and the two guards beside him, long gone, were replaced by two others. Yan En and another Xinghua man, they firmly controlled Colonel Merck and did not let Merck move. At the same time, Merck's jeep was followed by an additional medium-sized truck and drove to the military port base.
The garrison officer of Alexandria Harbor, who knew Colonel Merck. In addition, Colonel Merck had just left the base, and the officer smiled at Merck and released Colonel Merck into the military port base without even asking. There were also trucks that were put into the base together, and no one even came forward to check them.
The two cars, one in front of the other, stopped in a remote position, which was not unfamiliar to Colonel Merck, that is, the position of the battleship under his command.
At this time, Yan Zhong was a little confused, he didn't expect the defense of Alexandria Military Port to be so weak. With a few small means, it's so easy to get in!
"Captain!" the voice of a subordinate beside Yan Zhong interrupted his thoughts.
"Action!" Yan Zhong said into the liaison hanging on his ear.
On the truck, twenty members of the action team came down, and they were all elites of Xinghua Kingdom.
"Our task was simple, it was to disrupt the chain of command inside the Alexandria Naval Port. Then, in cooperation with the Xinghua Army, attack the military port...... The map is in your electronic devices, and the portraits of senior naval officers of the Reunion State are also inside, good luck to you! Long live the country of Xinghua!" Yan Zhong said.
"Long live Xinghuaguo!" The 20 members of the action team quickly split up in accordance with the pre-arranged action plan.
Yan Zhong escorted Colonel Merck and said, "Take us to your warship for a visit." ”
"Who the hell are you, aren't you afraid of retribution from the Navy?" rebuked Colonel Merck angrily.
"Who are we, don't you know? Do you think you want to attack us, we don't know at all?" Yan Zhong sneered, "This is war! I advise you to be obedient and maybe survive." ”
Colonel Merck was taken aback, and he immediately guessed the identities of these people. These people are from Xinghua Island, and they have come to attack the navy of Reunion.
"Alexandria Harbor has a large army, and you can't succeed! "Colonel Merck tried to convince Yan Zhong to surrender.
Yan Zhong smiled coldly, did not speak, and pointed at a certain acupuncture point on Colonel Merck's neck. Colonel Merck suddenly had a choked throat and was speechless.
Then, Yan Zhong dragged Colonel Merck towards the battleship. Yan Zhong was very confident that the two of them would be able to control Colonel Merck's battleship.
A serious explosion occurred on the fifth floor of the Navy Building in Alexandria Harbor, which immediately began the battle at Alexandria Harbor.
Bang bang bang...... The Alexandria military port was attacked by unknown armed forces, and thousands of Xinghua soldiers attacked the unguarded military port from two directions.
The defense forces in the military port were obviously unprepared, and for a while, they were passively beaten.
"Commander-in-Chief, we are under attack!" an officer hurriedly rushed into the room of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy to report to him about the emergency.
"What's going on?" replied the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Vice Admiral Mozaku, with a frown.
"There is an armed force that has invaded the port of Alexandria. Our gendarmerie, is organizing defense. The subordinate officer replied.
At the same time, order the warships in the harbor to withdraw from their decks, be on alert for attacks on the shore, and sail out of the harbor in accordance with Emergency Plan No. 5. "Mozakou gave the order in an orderly manner.
"Commander-in-Chief, you need to leave the naval building immediately. Five more subordinates with guns came up and said.
Mozacu was taken aback and asked, "The enemy has attacked the naval building." ”
"A small number of enemies have infiltrated the military port and are attacking senior officers. The subordinate replied.
"Okay, let's evacuate!" Mozakou said in good faith.
Boom!
There was a loud bang.
The entire military port, and even the naval building, shook violently in the loud noise.
Inside the building, Mozakou and the others were even more frightened, they almost thought that the building was going to fall, and several people fell to the ground without standing firmly.
"It's the sound of a battleship's cannons!" Mozaku, based on his many years of naval experience, immediately recognized that it was the shelling of a battleship's cannons. He immediately thought of a very bad scenario in which the Alexandria military port was attacked by enemy ships. (To be continued.) )
