"July, it's impossible to stay in your current position and keep it secret."

In the office, He Zhijun explained with a smile, "Even if you, the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet, were not present at today's press conference, the foreign media must have known about your situation very well. ”

"If you don't believe me, tomorrow you will read a foreign language newspaper and you will definitely see a long description of your personal situation."

How could Su Qiyue not know about the situation that Vice Minister He said?

At that moment, he said with a smile: "How the foreign media describe it, I can't stop it." ”

"But personally, it's definitely as little as possible. After all, you can't leak the situation yourself. ”

Of course, He Zhijun could understand the meaning of Su Qiyue's words.

He is saying that foreign media or military intelligence departments have obtained their own information from other channels, and there is nothing he can do to stop this.

But what I can do is to continue to keep a low profile and not give others the opportunity to get to know me up close.

I can't say how useful it is, but at least I can hide enough things.

At least his own personality and temper, foreign intelligence departments have no way to directly know.

After listening to Su Qiyue's story, He Zhijun smiled with relief.

Indeed, in the current era of the gradual rise of multimedia, Su Qiyue's method of "closing the door and thanking customers" still retains a certain effect.

Not accepting media interviews and cold treatment, I think it is also the result of his careful consideration.

After taking a sip of tea, He Zhijun sighed lightly and said, "It's okay not to show up." In a scene like today, if you, the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet, show up, I'm afraid you will be able to make headlines in several major foreign media tomorrow......"

There is no exaggeration in He Zhijun's words.

In recent years, with the enhancement of China's national strength and military strength, more and more foreign media have begun to pay attention to this information.

Foreigners who often make similar reports have long been accustomed to the age of 40 for domestic officers at and above the lieutenant colonel level.

A colonel in his 20s suddenly appeared, and the media of foreigners were not allowed to fry the pot immediately.

Next, there are long and lengthy reports.

There are too many reports, how can Su Qiyue's past situation be hidden?

Now he only leaves the identity and name of the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet, and the rest is left to the foreign media to guess for themselves, which is indeed beneficial to the smooth progress of the escort work.

On the other hand, it is also conducive to the protection of him personally.

"I'll leave tomorrow. What else can I tell you about? ”

After being silent for a while, He Zhijun turned to the topic.

Su Qiyue nodded lightly and didn't say anything more.

Regarding this escort mission, there is actually nothing to worry about.

With the combat power of the two missile cruisers, the "Coconut City" and the "Jiangcheng", even if all the pirates in the Gulf of Aden came together, they would only have to escape with their tails between their legs.

What Vice Minister He wants to say must have nothing to do with concrete actions.

"Originally, the time given above for this escort operation was 80 days, that is, two and a half months."

"From the beginning of December now, to the middle of February next year. In terms of timing, it is just right for you to catch up with the exercise in the C Military Region. ”

Hearing this, Su Qiyue came to some enlightenment.

Needless to say, it should be that there are new instructions for escort operations from above.

In terms of time, I'm afraid it's going to be extended.

Sure enough, He Zhijun paused and quickly told the situation.

"Last week, November 14th. China's fishing boat 'Tianyu No. 8' was hijacked by Samali pirates in a certain sea area of East Africa. Twenty-four people, including 16 members of our crew, were taken hostage. ”

"In the past year, there has been an average of one pirate attack every three days off the coast of the Gulf of Aden, and 42 ships have been hijacked. It can be said that the situation is getting more and more serious. ”

"Just last week, the rescue working group of the 'Tianyu 8' fishing boat has been established, and I have been appointed as the team leader, and you are the deputy team leader......

Listening to Vice Minister He's explanation, Su Qiyue probably understood.

Needless to say, the specific work of this rescue working group must be carried out through the escort fleet of its own deputy leader.

Speaking of which, if there was no matter of the escort fleet, this hostage rescue mission should have been launched.

Either the country sends elite special operators or the United Nations is invited to intervene.

However, if you want to send people from the country, you must first get permission from the Samali authorities.

If there is no special person like the vice president of the Yuanfang Group in the last incident among the hostages, there is no doubt when this approval process will be completed.

Now that I am going to travel with the escort fleet, it is only natural that I have been appointed by the above to help solve this incident.

When Su Qiyue was secretly pondering here, He Zhijun had already told him about the specific situation of the "Tianyu No. 8" fishing boat being held hostage.

"At present, the authorities in Samali have reached a dialogue with the pirates who have taken the fishing boats hostage. The rescue mission is already actively underway. ”

"Basically, the pirates' intentions are still very clear. They just want a ransom, and they don't want to be ruined. ”

"And the families of the crew on the 'Tianyu 8' are already working hard to make up the ransom."

He Zhijun paused, and then said: "According to the current negotiation process, when your escort fleet arrives, the two sides should be able to negotiate almost completely. ”

"Your task is to bring back the crew of the Tianyu 8 safely after the negotiations have progressed."

After listening to He Zhijun's story, Su Qiyue responded without any hesitation.

He Zhijun's narration continues.

"Of course, this process may end in the near future, but it can also continue for a long time. For your convoy, 80 days is definitely not enough. ”

"It is conservatively estimated that it will take at least more than 100 days, or even 120 days, to end the entire escort operation."

"The specific itinerary and timetable, you, the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet, must grasp it well."

Listening to Vice Minister He's instructions, Su Qiyue nodded solemnly.

Indeed, since he is the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet, he must consider all the situations thoroughly.

Including the arrangements after the hostages are rescued, this is all a matter for me to consider.

After talking about the changes in the itinerary, the look on He Zhijun's face relaxed a little.

Gently patting Su Qiyue's shoulder, the leader smiled and said, "That's probably the case." While there is still time, go back and quickly explain to Comrade Manqing. ”

"One or two months later than expected, Comrade Manqing must understand. It will be bad for you to have a conflict between the two of you. ”

When Su Qiyue heard this, he calmly opened his voice and said, "No, Minister He." I've already said hello to Manqing. ”

"She is more than a month pregnant, and I am afraid that she will need to recuperate at home during the Chinese New Year. If I can't make it back, she can rest for a few more days. ”

Hearing this, He Zhijun suddenly smiled.

"Ha, it turns out that there is such a happy event in your family in July. When I went back, I asked Comrade Xiaoyun to be the representative and go to see Comrade Manqing more. ”

Listening to the leader's words of concern, Su Qiyue was embarrassed: "Minister, this is not necessary." Comrade Xiaoyun is also busy with her work, and I have assigned her a lot of tasks......"

He Zhijun waved his hand and said, "Busy is busy, there is still time for this." Alright, you don't have to ask about these things in July. Comrade Xiaoyun, I'll arrange it. ”

Vice Minister He said so, and Su Qiyue couldn't excuse anything.

The two chatted for a while, and the press conference on the TV screen had come to an end.

He Zhijun seemed to think of something again, so he looked at Su Qiyue with a sigh.

"That's right, July. On the side of the C Military Region, there is an exercise in February, and I guess you won't be able to participate. ”

"I'll talk to Comrade Minsheng when I go back, and let him and Brigade Commander Shi know."

The military region will hold a confrontation between digital troops after the year, and Su Qiyue had already heard the brigade commander Shi Qingsong mention it before.

Originally, Brigade Commander Shi had in mind that Su Qiyue could come back in time to help him fight this battle.

But now the time of the escort operation may have to be delayed for a long time, and Su Qiyue can only be helpless.

However, although he couldn't come to the scene to assist the brigade commander in person, Su Qiyue was not helpless at all.

During his time at the special operations base, he studied several sets of digital confrontation tactics for the W Brigade.

Of these tactical samples, Su Qiyue had already asked Long Xiaoyun to make a copy of them back.

When Brigadier Shi saw these samples, he could enrich his tactics a lot.

Speaking of which, although compared to several other digitized units, the W Brigade started a little late.

However, in the past year, the speed of development of digital warfare has been very fast.

In particular, after the 1st Tank Battalion and the 1st Armored Infantry Battalion were digitally integrated, their strength has increased by leaps and bounds.

From Su Qiyue's point of view, the combined strength of these two troops can almost withstand half of the brigade.

Coupled with the Wolf Warrior Squadron, which has infinite possibilities, the military area is really regarded as an opponent by Su Qiyue, and Fan Yingming is the only one.

Of course, this is a comparison of digital troops of the same size.

If you count the division, Zhu Haipeng's C division can obviously pose a threat to his own W brigade.

At this time, after listening to Vice Minister He's reminder, Su Qiyue said calmly: "The W Brigade is definitely fine." Brigade Commander Shi's subordinates are all well-known and victorious troops. ”

He Zhijun also came out of the C Military Region, and of course he knew Shi Qingsong's name.

He smiled and nodded, not saying anything more.

……

At a deep-water wharf in Qiongzhou Bay, three warships sailed out of the military port one after another.

In front of them are two missile destroyers, the "Coconut City" and the "Jiangcheng."

Behind the two destroyers is the "Dangshanhu" integrated supply ship.

These three warships were all the ships of the first escort operation in China.

At 13:45, as the three battleships sailed out, all the officers and men on the battleships in the rear military port saluted solemnly at the same time and saw off the escort fleet.
