Chapter 36: Zhou Yuchen's decision
After Zhou Yuchen finally persuaded the guards on the speedboat to contact Xu Yifang, the person in charge of the aircraft carrier, he didn't expect Xu Yifang's attitude to be even more resolute than Ye Hui.
"Ye Hui is a captain with wise judgment and choice, and he knows exactly what he is doing." Xu Yifang said to Zhou Yuchen very sternly through the communicator, "I think he has a more careful plan to make such a choice, he is not the kind of fool who will dare to drag the personnel of the whole fleet to his death." ”
"But the enemy's warship group is obviously attacking the North Sea No. 3 Fleet first!" Even in the face of a big man like Xu Yifang, Zhou Yuchen's tone of voice was still very direct, "You can obviously change the formation of your subordinates before according to the battle plan of the Beihai No. 3 Fleet, so as to achieve a more coordinated tactical effect between each other!" ”
"You're right, but there's more to it than we think about it, and it's not just about defeating the enemy." Xu Yifang patiently explained to Zhou Yuchen, "I also want to arrange support for the Beihai No. 3 Fleet, but the current situation does not allow me to make such an immature judgment. ”
Hearing that Xu Yifang had already said this, Zhou Yuchen also understood that he didn't want Xu Yifang to persuade Ye Hui, but now he couldn't even persuade Xu Yifang.
So after Zhou Yuchen said a few kind words, he decisively hung up this communication channel connecting Xu Yifang, and then in front of those security personnel, he used their communicator to contact the Navy General Headquarters again, hoping that there would be a key breakthrough to reverse the current situation.
However, even if Zhou Yuchen is the only son of Zhou Ziyu, deputy commander-in-chief of the Navy, it took him a lot of effort to contact his father in the continuous transfer of communications.
And Zhou Ziyu was also very shocked by the fact that his son took the initiative to contact him, because his son has always had too strong self-esteem, and since he was a child, he was unwilling to use any help he could provide as a father, and insisted on working hard to prove himself with his own strength.
So now Zhou Yuchen did not hesitate to contact him for help many times, how could Zhou Ziyu not be shocked and surprised.
"Dad." Zhou Yuchen shouted Zhou Ziyu after a long absence, and then said very directly to the point, "Can you arrange a support force to support the Beihai No. 3 fleet?!" ”
"You haven't called me dad for five years, but now you're selling family accounts to me for someone else's business." Zhou Ziyu also felt very helpless that he gave birth to such a son, after all, he knew very well that his care and education for Zhou Yuchen was indeed far less than that of his ex-wife as a mother, so this son would be separated from him like this now, and he felt that he had been retributed.
Hearing his father say such things, Zhou Yuchen changed his tone after sighing: "Commander-in-Chief Zhou, I implore you to send troops to support the No. 3 Beihai Fleet. ”
"Let's come up with a reason that will convince me to send troops." Zhou Ziyu replied with a businesslike attitude, "After all, all parties are tight on troops now, and even if I send troops, I can only send the 912 mobile unit stationed at the Navy General Headquarters." ”
"I'm here to get you to directly mobilize Unit 912!" Zhou Yuchen spoke very directly, without any roundabouts, "Isn't Unit 912 a fighter team!" They have enough armed forces to support the North Sea Fleet No. 3! ”
"The No. 3 Beihai Fleet is under the jurisdiction of the aircraft carrier warship group, and Xu Yifang and Xu Lao have not deployed support troops to the Beihai No. 3 Fleet, so I have no reason to interfere." Zhou Ziyu patiently said to his son, "Even if I am the deputy commander-in-chief, it is not good for me to directly trespass, unless you can give me a very good reason." ”
"You want a reason?!" Zhou Yuchen shouted dissatisfiedly, "Okay! I tell you why you have to support the No. 3 North Sea Fleet! ”
"Then I'll listen to you." Zhou Ziyu immediately responded to his son like this.
"The No. 3 Beihai Fleet is now the most powerful armed force in our naval fleet, and the enemy is obviously very afraid of this fleet, so it will first concentrate firepower to attack this fleet." Zhou Yuchen immediately said according to his logical thinking and thoughts, "At the same time, the enemy also knows very well that our naval deployment has always been light and will not change the formation without authorization, so they have calculated that the No. 3 Fleet in the North Sea will not have a support force, even if it is the largest aircraft carrier warship group in the Celestial Empire behind it!" ”
"What you can't deny is that the North Sea No. 3 Fleet is now the strongest defense line of the Celestial Empire Navy!" Zhou Yuchen continued, "The enemy also knows that if you want to defeat our navy, you must first annihilate the No. 3 fleet in the North Sea!" Now Ye Hui, the commander of the No. 3 Fleet in the North Sea, has made up his mind to use the flagship as a decoy to attract the enemy to concentrate firepower. Although his tactic is very risky, the failure rate is very high! Once the North Sea No. 3 Fleet is routed by the enemy, then it will be followed by the East Sea Fleet! The armed forces of the East China Sea Fleet have always been not as strong as the North Sea No. 3 Fleet, and it is expected that it will be breached! ”
"In short, I can say without exaggeration that once the No. 3 Fleet in the North Sea is completely destroyed, then the East China Sea warship group will lose its sharpest offensive and defensive weapons, and our largest aircraft carrier will also be lost!" Zhou Yuchen did not forget his feelings, and added excitedly.
Zhou Yuchen's words made Zhou Ziyu silent for a while before he spoke up and replied: "What you said about the importance of the No. 3 Fleet in the North Sea, each of us has long been very clear. Otherwise, we would not have deployed the No. 3 North Sea Fleet in the outermost defensive area of our territorial waters, precisely because the armed forces of this fleet are the strongest. ”
"And we don't understand what you said, Xu Yifang also knows very well what price we will pay once we lose the No. 3 Fleet in the North Sea." Zhou Ziyu continued, "But none of us can guarantee that if we send reinforcements, we will not be hit by the enemy's voice. Ye Hui was also very aware of this, so he decided to use the flagship of his own fleet to force the enemy's intention to expand the battle line. After all, compared to the No. 3 Fleet in the North Sea, the Navy General Headquarters is the target that the enemy wants to catch all of them. ”
Zhou Ziyu's words made Zhou Yuchen unable to refute them, so the atmosphere between father and son was even more cold and almost solidified.
Just when Zhou Yuchen thought that he really had nothing to do, he could only watch Ye Hui lead the Beihai No. 3 Fleet to fight at the risk of death, Zhou Ziyu suddenly said again: "Of course, I am not such an unkind person. As long as you promise me to return to the headquarters obediently and stop running around the front line all the time, then I can send a group of fighter fighters to support the North Sea No. 3 Fleet as much as possible. ”
Zhou Yuchen didn't expect his father to take the opportunity to make such a request, so he couldn't help but blurt out all of a sudden: "How can you take advantage of people's danger like this?!" And why can't I go to the front?! Is it just because I'm your son?! Wouldn't you be a little too selfish to do this?! ”
Faced with such aggressive questioning by his own son, although Zhou Ziyu felt very sad in his heart, his tone still maintained his usual stern seriousness: "You just think of me as selfish, I only have a son like you, and your mother's most precious thing is you." Although our marriage has long since ended, that doesn't mean we don't care about you. ”
"As long as I can keep you alive, I'd rather go to the front line myself." Zhou Ziyu did not forget to add such a sentence.
"Mom is dead!" Zhou Yuchen also replied without concessions, "What's the use of you talking about this now?!" You're just transferring your guilt for not being able to protect your mother onto me! ”
"Zhou Yuchen!" Zhou Ziyu couldn't help but exclaimed in an accentuated tone, "Now I won't discuss with you about your mother, I just want to know what kind of answer you have to my request just now." ”
Zhou Yuchen couldn't help but be silent about this, he knew that if he chose to return to the Navy General Headquarters again, it would be very difficult to return to the front line in the future. But if he didn't agree, his father would not have been able to send troops to support the North Sea Fleet No. 3, which would have been very difficult to fight without a stronger ability to stay in the air.
So after Zhou Yuchen was so entangled and embarrassed for a while, he made a decision under various trade-offs and replied to his father in a loud voice: "I understand, I will obediently return to the headquarters to serve." Hurry up and arrange for the deployment of support troops to the North Sea Fleet 3 now! ”
Hearing that his son had made such a wise choice, Zhou Ziyu immediately responded very simply: "Okay, I'll arrange the deployment now." You also hurry up, didn't Ye Hui let people send you to the flagship and send you away, you go to the aircraft carrier now to find Xu Yifang Xu Lao, and he will arrange for someone to send you back to the headquarters. ”
Originally, Zhou Yuchen wanted to say that he would not go back until this battle was over, but he was worried that this would make his father unhappy, so that his father would regret not arranging support to go to the Beihai No. 3 Fleet, then he would have worked hard in vain just now.
Therefore, under such consideration, he had no choice but to cooperate: "I know, I'll go to the aircraft carrier now." ”
"Well, be careful, don't let yourself get hurt." It was rare for Zhou Ziyu to explain so directly in a very concerned tone, obviously very satisfied with what his son was going to return to under his nose.
On the other hand, Zhou Yuchen didn't have the slightest bit of a happy mood to see his father, he was only full of depression. Because he knew that he might not have a chance to return to Ye Hui as an adjutant in the future.
