114. One small step
"Regarding this mission, it was actually sent directly to me by the military department yesterday. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" An Tong briefly introduced the premise, and then clicked on the light curtain with his hand, "I probably hope to use my Archangel as a platform to attack this position." β
Yamato looked at the place of An Tong's finger and asked a little strangely: "Here?" Is there any special value? β
Because the place where An Tong pointed is a point in the western Pacific Ocean, where is the empty sea, as if An Tong clicked it very casually.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I need to zoom in..."Antong said, quickly zooming in on the map, and finally an island the size of a grain of rice appeared at the place of his finger, marked with the three small characters of Ogasawara underneath...
"Huh? Is this actually it? Yamato was stunned for a moment, and then asked puzzledly: "Isn't this place already far away from the mainland?" What's the point of attacking here? β
The Ogasawara archipelago is composed of more than 30 islands, large and small, and is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the Japanese mainland.
An Tong drew a rough picture of the light curtain with his finger, connecting several islands in the entire island group, and then said, "That's probably what they think... Starting from the northernmost island of Kitanoshima and working south to the sister island, a new forward line of defense will be created here, which will be the most prominent part of the line against the enemy who tends to defend against Tokyo or Okinawa. β
Yamato's expression was a little complicated, and he was silent and did not speak, quietly waiting for An Tong's follow-up speech.
"I know this kind of thing seems ridiculous and unbelievable to you, but I have a different opinion, so I won't talk about it for now... When I received this order yesterday, I went to watch the news again, and sure enough, I found a few interesting contents. An Tong said, and called up the news he had paid attention to yesterday on the light curtain, and then said: "For example, the mergers and acquisitions of several ocean-going freighter companies, and the development of new offshore drilling platforms are all small news, and the more important thing is this one." He pointed to a news headline marked in glaring red letters on the light curtain -- "The Japanese Government Proposes the Latest Round of Plans for the Return to Japan"
"Probably this is the main reason, this matter has been mentioned before, but the voice is very small, probably because of the victory of this winter tide, so the shouting is extraordinarily loud... However, in my opinion, this has little to do with the Japanese government, and few of them should want to go back, so it is very likely that the Chinese government is dissatisfied with the lack of management of such a region of Japan mainland and forcibly set up a colonial-style puppet government. After An Tong finished speaking, he first observed Yamato's reaction, and found that her expression was still very calm, and then continued:
"On another level, it's also a better way to return to the ocean, right? With this Ogasawara defense line, the Okinawa-Taiwan defense line behind it will also be safer, and the various marine economic activities that have begun to recover there will also be more secure. An Tong continued.
At this time, Yamato suddenly realized that An Tong's attitude was very different from before, so he asked, "Admiral?" From what I know of you, you're usually very dissatisfied when you see this kind of action, but today I feel like you're very optimistic about this action? β
An Tong nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "If you want to say that I am optimistic about this kind of plan, I can't say it, but this time what makes me feel a little different is the attitude of the government, compared to the previous attitude of sticking to the coastline and blindly maintaining the status quo, this time it is a rare active offensive behavior, although it is only an example of more than 1,000 kilometers, although the real purpose may not be to eliminate the deep fog, but this is also the most active posture of human beings in the face of the deep fog." β
"So no matter how you look at it, this should be regarded as the first step taken by humanity to fight back against the deep fog, even if this step is very small, but it is finally taken, at least it represents a positive attitude." An Tong's face showed a smile, "So I took this mission, I hope to get off to a good start." β
Antong doesn't know how much of the government's proactive posture is the reason for the probe, but the appearance of the probe has undoubtedly given humanity a shot in the arm, which is of course a good thing, both for the future of mankind and for Antong's plan, which shows that the government has a lot of trust in his products, otherwise it should not have made such a different bold move.
So An Tong sent another 10 probes to Andre on the spot after receiving the task, and promised to increase the output every month in the future, which naturally made Andre happy as if he was about to explode, and he was about to go crazy at the thought of doubling his profits.
But all he earned was money, just a string of numbers in the bank, and he didn't realize what he could earn for An Tong by helping An Tong send these probes into the army.
The probe has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so the follow-up probe-based things can also begin to pave the way, so Antong first called Shimada Yuan and briefly asked her how the scientists were doing with the research on that paper.
"They're going crazy!" Shimada replied, "They almost threw themselves into it, and asked me for a lot of money to buy equipment, and the money in the account was spent a lot. β
"It's okay, soon there will be money remitted in my name, just let them watch and use it." An Tong said very generously, in his opinion, the equipment of these laboratories is not so much research equipment, but rather the decoration of the store, he does not decorate his faΓ§ade to be gorgeous and realistic, how can he let customers buy his follow-up products?
So the investment in this area An Tong is not stingy, especially after receiving the inheritance from the sixth admiral, the long list of zeros on the book made him feel that he didn't know how to spend it, so Shimada Yuan immediately helped him find an opportunity to spend money, so after remitting a sum of money to Shimada Yuan, he continued: "I have a second paper here, which is more in-depth than the first, you give it to them, and then sign a more detailed confidentiality agreement, In addition, whatever they come up with, let them publish it immediately and apply for a patent, and these tasks must be done well. β
Shimada Yuan is naturally full of promises, this laboratory at first she was completely attracted by Antong's personal charm and devoted herself to it, but now she has also discovered the terrible business opportunities that may be contained in it with her family's keen sense of smell, and her current work enthusiasm is also instantly high.
Now it seems that the foundation is there, the store is there, and there is no shortage of products, and the rest is naturally an advertisement that is enough to move people's hearts, and this action is naturally an excellent opportunity to show other admirals the Android system.
This operation, as Li Nana said before, may cover some of the compensation for him in the previous action, although An Tong took the funds and resources that others did not need, he did not feel that he was at a loss.
This operation was carried out by a total of 6 admirals, in addition to Kai Yasaki, there was also a colonel of the Hokkaido Division of the Japanese Theater of Operations, this one was called Huck. Pullovsky's guy makes An Tong feel very tricky Judging from the archives, if Wang Siyuan is as strong as a bear, then this guy is a mammoth at all...
Forget it, the key is that this guy's file can be said to be so bad that it is difficult to write, he has drunk many times, fought many times, and disobeyed the orders of his superiors many times, and his exploits are simply not worth mentioning in comparison, which makes people wonder if this guy is Wu Mao's illegitimate son who was not shot.
In addition to this guy, there is another guy who also makes An Tong quite uncomfortable, Lieutenant Colonel Shimada, he was also selected into this action group, theoretically the grudge between him and An Tong has been resolved, but he always makes An Tong very embarrassed when he looks at his brother-in-law at every turn... Yes, I know your sister-in-law is beautiful, but I really don't want to her!
Two of the remaining three people should be considered relatively normal, the world ranking is higher than An Tong, and the natural military rank is also higher than him, judging from the file, he is probably the kind of decent and well-behaved baby admiral, conscientiously completing tasks again and again, there are no mistakes and no highlights, probably the kind of team puzzle-type character, right?
The last one left, in fact, is the most bottomless in An Tong's heart, this person's name is Dyce, a very ordinary name, but seeing the world ranking behind him, it makes people very uneasy, he is ranked 8th in the world, second only to bigseven, and is the real eighth admiral... People don't know what kind of expression to use to face him.
An Tong simply doesn't know what the military's selection criteria are, why did they divide this guy, and forget it, the key is that the top commander of this action group is actually An Tong, not only the shortest tenure in the entire group, but also the lowest rank, just a small major.
It was a feeling of roasting Antong on the fire, and although Antong didn't think that he was not strong enough to be the leader of this small one, it was difficult for him to guarantee that others would think the same way.
Obviously, this task is not only a chance for An Tong, but also a big test for him.
