Near nightfall, there is a base building that rises directly above the sea level in the sea of Q City, which is closest to the capital.

This base looks like a factory for collecting undersea minerals, but in fact there is something else below the sea level, and this is where the real naval headquarters of the Celestial Empire is located.

Zhou Ziyu, who is the deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, is in this base at this moment, and after receiving the news that the enemy has sent a group of bombers to attack their base, he soon received a report on the battle situation from the East China Sea.

After learning of the tragic battle situation between the No. 3 Fleet in the North Sea and the enemy warship group, and the J-S31 fighter plane piloted by his only son Zhou Yuchen bravely and directly crashed into the enemy warship and rescued the flagship of the No. 3 Fleet in the North Sea, thus leading to the current state of complete uncertainty about life and death, Zhou Ziyu suddenly became a lot haggard, as if he had aged several years all of a sudden.

As a veteran who has been in the army for decades, Zhou Ziyu knows very well that in such a combat situation, unknown life and death means death, and it is a death where the body cannot be found at all.

One of the assistants, who had been by Zhou Ziyu's side for many years, had never seen the deputy commander-in-chief show such a fragile expression, so he couldn't help but open his mouth and comforted: "Commander, Chenchen definitely doesn't want to see you like this, please cheer up." ”

"I'm sad." Zhou Ziyu replied very sadly, "If my son is sacrificed on the high seas like this, I really regret it...... I regret that I shouldn't have negotiated terms with him. The last conversation I had with him was actually a negotiation, and if this was really a farewell, I felt like I really couldn't stand this son......"

When it came to the end, the deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, who had always been surprised, couldn't help but have red eyes, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes that could not be concealed at all.

The assistants who stayed in this office saw that this big man was so sad that he burst into tears, and they also knew very well in their hearts that the extreme sadness of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person was not something that ordinary people could bear. Even the most powerful characters are also vulnerable when they lose their most precious relatives.

"Commander, their search and rescue operation is still ongoing, as long as the effective search and rescue time has not been exceeded, then Chenchen's death status has not been confirmed." The assistant once again spoke to comfort Zhou Ziyu, "I believe that with Chenchen's own ability, he will definitely escape this catastrophe!" Hasn't he survived many battles before when life and death were hanging by a thread, and this time it must be the same. ”

"I hope so......" Zhou Ziyu sighed with a sigh.

"And, Commander, you should be proud of Chenchen. It is said that if it weren't for Chenchen's heroic self-sacrifice, the battle of the No. 3 North Sea Fleet might not have succeeded in turning the final situation around. The assistant said to Zhou Ziyu with a proud expression, "Although I am just an outsider who watched him grow from a teenager to a young man, I am really proud that you have such a brave and fearless son, Commander." ”

"That kid is a dead eye...... Because our headquarters assigned him the task of protecting Major General Ye Hui, he was desperate to complete this task. How could Zhou Ziyu not know what kind of determination his son was acting.

After all, he knows very well that his son has always been angry that he can't protect his mother, so his son is so obsessed with his character protection goal out of this sense of guilt for his mother.

However, after being sad and sad for a while, Zhou Ziyu still forced himself to regain his spirits, and then began to deploy the defense of this naval headquarters.

"The important files on our side have been transferred to the aircraft carrier in the East China Sea region, and even the commander-in-chief has successfully arrived at the aircraft carrier." Zhou Ziyu opened his mouth and said to his assistants, "So in fact, we only have an empty shell here, and the aircraft carrier has become a temporary naval headquarters." ”

"So as long as we can protect the aircraft carrier on the other side of the East China Sea, we can protect our headquarters?" The assistant immediately asked rhetorically.

"That's right." Zhou Ziyu nodded decisively in response.

"In that case, then why didn't you evacuate with the commander-in-chief, Commander?!" The assistant immediately said with some excitement, "You should evacuate too!" ”

"I've decided that I'm going to live and die with this base." Zhou Ziyu responded to his assistants very calmly, "Even if this is already an empty shell, it is also a base that we have worked so hard to build, as long as we can survive this time and not be destroyed, then this is still our headquarters." ”

Hearing Zhou Ziyu's words, the assistant had no surprises, because this is Zhou Ziyu's style for decades.

At this time, the air defense warning signal of their sea base had sounded, which meant that the enemy bombers were about to enter their airspace.

"Notify the various teams of Unit 912 that the countdown to combat readiness for the sortie is thirty seconds." Zhou Ziyu immediately said to his assistants, he knew very well that the various teams of Unit 912 were already in standby, just waiting for his order.

"Yes!" One of his assistants immediately took the order.

And in the high sea area, where a very fierce naval battle had just been fought during the day, Ye Hui, who was sitting on the latest speedboat, was facing the cold sea breeze to help those maritime search and rescue teams rescue those who were in distress.

When the speedboat sailed to the vicinity of the J-S31 fighter plane piloted by Zhou Yuchen, Ye Hui specially ordered his entourage to use the sea probe to carefully scan and search this area, but after working for a long time, he still did not find any signs of human life in this area.

Faced with such a result that Zhou Yuchen's whereabouts could not be found at all, Ye Hui couldn't help but frown even deeper.

"Captain......" The entourage couldn't help but say to Ye Hui in a heavy tone, "I think Adjutant Zhou should have sacrificed his life for the country...... At that time, we saw the massive explosion here because the fighter plane directly hit the battleship...... At that time, it was really difficult for Adjutant Zhou to survive......"

How could Ye Hui not understand this, he just had hope in his heart, hoping that Zhou Yuchen could escape the big explosion.

But now this kind of reality is constantly showing that Zhou Yuchen has no hope of survival.

"He didn't deserve to die, he was here to help us turn things around." Ye Hui couldn't help but say, "He is really a good soldier, and he is only for the country." When he said this, Ye Hui couldn't help but feel a very sad feeling in his heart, and he suddenly remembered that he had never given a good face and a good tone to Zhou Yuchen in the end.

In fact, Zhou Yuchen's appearance as an adjutant has made him impeccable. It's just that he doesn't want Zhou Yuchen to continue to commit himself to being an adjutant by his side, he feels that there is a better place for Zhou Yuchen to display his ambitions, so he will target Zhou Yuchen with such an attitude, and he just wants Zhou Yuchen to retreat despite the difficulties.

"I'm sorry, Zhou Yuchen." Ye Hui suddenly muttered to the pitch-black sea in front of him, "You are really good." ”
