The three officers on the other side of the table exchanged words after listening to An Tong's emphasis, and then another officer with the rank of colonel spoke: "Thank you for your explanation, Lieutenant Colonel, but we still have some questions about the recommendation that you attach at the end of your report to shrink the line of defense and stop a series of marine development activities, can you elaborate further on this?" ”

What else needs to be said about this? This deep fog against the sky is wandering near the Ogasawara Islands not far from here, and I don't know how many of these guys can easily pose a huge threat to the defense line there, and they dare to drill into the sea at this time? An Tong thought a little hotly in his heart, but finally replied patiently: "Regarding this, I think it is very necessary, the high intelligence of this mine-class battleship is obviously no longer limited to attacking ship mothers and human facilities, and even the admiral will pose a major threat, which is likely to threaten the foundation of the ship mother's defense system, so I don't think that until the entire western Pacific is completely emptied, no economic development activities in the sea will be carried out."

When the three officers heard him say this, they glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time, and then the colonel who asked the first question said: "Lieutenant Colonel An Tong, thank you for your advice and concern for national defense and security, but such a decision is difficult to be approved by the high-level, for us in charge of evaluation, we can't put forward such a conservative proposal, from a certain level, it is precisely because of your outstanding performance that we have created a relatively safe sea area, if we don't do anything, it will be a kind of negation of you." ”

Another colonel also hurriedly added: "We will carry out a series of defensive lines to shrink and strengthen in the future, and we will be more prudent and cautious about the subsequent development of the sea, but it is impossible to terminate the development, this is the trend of the whole of Asia and even the world, too much capital and tax revenue have been invested in it, and this kind of thing cannot be stopped because of the emergence of one or two new enemies." ”

An Tong shook his head speechlessly, took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, and asked impulsively: "In your opinion, money is more important than life?" ”

Days and Huck next to him hurriedly reached out and grabbed him, Huck even used brute force to force him back to his seat, and then Days tacitly cooperated to open up for An Tong and said: "I'm sorry sir, Lieutenant Colonel An Tong has just experienced a fierce battle, and he is inevitably a little emotional and excited, I hope you can understand." ”

At this time, the middle-aged man with the rank of major general sitting in the middle of the three finally spoke: "It's okay, we can understand it." As he spoke, he looked at An Tong's eyes seriously and continued: "Lieutenant Colonel, I can understand your thoughts and feelings, but your suggestion... IMHO, too conservative, one might even say alarmist. You have only been in Asia for a short time, and you may not know what kind of existence the Asian defense line is, but I can tell you unequivocally that this is a great wall forged by the collective sweat and dedication of all Asian people! She's so much stronger than you think! We've been through countless battles and destroyed countless powerful enemies! Such a line of defense will not be shaken by the appearance of one or two new types of enemies! As he spoke, he paused, as if controlling his emotions, before he continued:

"I know that your legendary experience in Africa and Australia can indeed be described as a miracle, but that kind of battle can only happen in those weak and corrupt war zones, we in Asia, we will not count on a hero or a miracle to save again, our defense line itself is a miracle that is still continuing!"

An Tong was stunned when he heard his words, then took a deep breath and asked again: "Aren't you worried that such a change is not just a matter of a few deep fogs?" ”

The Major General shook his head, leaned forward slightly, and began to exude some inexplicable confidence all over his body, and replied: "Don't overestimate the deep fog, and don't underestimate us, we can hold on for ten years, and we don't just rely on the strength of your admirals, we won't be afraid of any challenge." ”

An Tong took a deep breath and nodded helplessly, he knew that he couldn't convince this evaluation team, the addition of the Eye of Odin brought them unprecedented self-confidence, and the ten-year stubbornness slowly changed their mentality, which was normal and reasonable, he had nothing to say.

The major general saw An Tong bowing his head, and finally nodded with satisfaction, and said a few words of comfort, "Even so, I still want to thank you for your outstanding contributions, you are the most important link in this line of defense, and the powerful force in your hands will be the foundation of Asia's security, I hope you will make persistent efforts to create more outstanding achievements!" We'll send you the follow-up rewards for this operation later. ”

After that, he looked at An Tong again and continued: "Especially you, Lieutenant Colonel An Tong, your superiors have highly affirmed your excellence, and more policy tilts will be made to you in the future, please be sure to correct your attitude and seize the opportunity." ”

Another colonel immediately added: "In three days' time, Marshal Safras will be on the Asian line of defense for a defense seminar, one of the main topics of which will be about your voyage, but before that, the marshal would like to have a private meeting with you, probably tomorrow evening, when you must attend." ”

This is definitely heavy news, the only marshal Admiral, the guardian of Europe, the gatekeeper of Calais Hell, the most dazzling first Admiral, actually wants to meet with An Tong alone? The news of such an explosion not only shocked Antong, but even Days and Huck widened their eyes.

"Yes, Marshal Safras, I don't think he needs me to introduce him, but I would like to remind you that Marshal Safras has left Calais three times so far, the first time being to apply for the establishment of the Hand of the Firefiend at the European headquarters; the second was the ceremony of conferring the title of marshal; The third time is here. I think Lieutenant Colonel should know what that means, take advantage of the opportunity. The major general added.

With this kind of posture, what else can An Tong say? He could only nod vigorously.

"Okay, do you guys have any questions? If not, just dismiss. The major general finally said.

An Tong hurriedly raised his hand, and only after getting a nod from the other side did he speak: "That... A little bit about a previous mission I did... Uh, I don't know about the level of secrecy..."

The major general was stunned for a moment, as if he was recalling something, and then said, "You all go out first." ”

The other four people suddenly glanced at An Tong suspiciously, and then left directly, the major general first got up and turned off all the recording equipment on the scene, and then waved his hand at a mirror in the conference room, it seemed that there should be another group of personnel in charge of recording, and then sat back in the chair and asked, "Do you know anything about the sixth admiral?" ”

An Tong hurriedly shook his head, it seems that the other party should be wrong, but from his cautious behavior, it is not difficult to see that the death of the sixth admiral is still in absolute secrecy, I really don't know how they hid so many people...

"I don't know anything about the Sixth Admiral, but I mainly want to say something about the Wei Rong team... There's actually a member of the Guardian Team who is serving in my town guard mansion... Uh, no, should I say vacation? It's not right, it's probably experiencing life... Anyway, she promised to help me train my ship girls, and honestly, that's exactly what I needed, and after working with them, I dreamed of having a fleet as elite as them, so here I would like to try to apply, can I let her stay with us for a little longer? An Tong truthfully said his inner thoughts, and there was nothing to hide, and there was nothing worth hiding.

The major general obviously didn't expect An Tong to make such a request, he frowned, thought for a while, should be weighing the pros and cons, and finally nodded reluctantly, and said: "Yes, this is an acceptable request, a good admiral should indeed have the same excellent soldiers." ”

"Thank you." An Tong said sincerely, of course, he also knew in his heart that the reason why the other party was so generous was definitely not because An Tong was really handsome and handsome, on the one hand, it can be seen that the establishment of the Wei Rong team is extremely sound, and it will not be unable to operate because of the lack of anyone; From another point of view, to put a ship lady under their absolute control in Antong's town guard mansion, this is probably also their dream thing, for a commander who is about to become a new military nouveau riche, no amount of surveillance means is too much, they probably have such an idea when they first inserted Richelieu into their town guard mansion, right? It's just that I didn't expect An Tong to be so cooperative with them later, and they took the initiative to ask for an extension of this period.

So this request didn't even need to think too much before nodding and agreeing, and after An Tong returned to the town guard's mansion, Richelieu had obviously received the notice, she saluted An Tong again very seriously, and said: "The superior ordered me to fully cooperate with you in the training of the ship's mother, and I will complete the task seriously, Admiral... Uh, no, Lieutenant Colonel. ”

An Tong smiled, this kind of seriousness with some little expectations in his heart Richelieu is too cute, he couldn't help but a little Meng Lang reached out and touched her head, and said: "Just call me Admiral, I like the pronunciation of you calling me Admiral." ”

Richelieu's face turned red at once, and in the last glow of the evening sunset, it looked particularly attractive.
