Chapter 127: The Hunter and the Prey (3)

At 1 a.m. on April 30, 1904, in the No. 1 secret room on the third basement floor of the Ministry of National Defense Building in Beijing, the smell of doubt and panic accompanied by the stinking smoke permeated the heads of ministers, generals, and barons.

Fourteen evil criminals who had been issued a cosmic wanted warrant from a country in another time and space were sitting around an oval desk, their faces tense discussing the absolute most important issue of their survival.

Prime Minister Zhang Zhigao's face was bloodless: "Didn't we already put a time bomb on the time machine host when we switched that time?" The relevant information of that transformation should also be eliminated at the same time, how do they know which historical node we have entered? And I've never heard of space-time transformation being able to enter the history of the branch that was created......"

"Now is not the time to think about this idiotic question!"

Ma Chengwu, chief of the training division of the General Staff and army general, slammed the table.

Zhang Zhigao was silent, he knew that Ma Chengwu had been transferred back from the Vladivostok front line by Liu Yun due to a slight mental abnormality, nominally serving as the head of the training department of the General Staff, but in fact he had nothing to do, he should have been depressed for a long time, if he accidentally stimulated this legendary fighting master, some bones in his body would be dangerous.

General Yang Zhengjin, Chief of the General Staff, held down Ma Chengwu, who showed signs of an outbreak, in time and coaxed him to drink a cup of green tea containing trace amounts of tranquilizers.

General Hu Ke, chief of the Operations Division of the General Staff, habitually stroked the thick and hard stubble on his chin, and lost no time in suggesting: "This is an extraordinary period, it is a matter of our life and death and the development and survival of this brand new China that we have created, for the sake of our collective, for the sake of this dream country that has been built with great difficulty, we must thwart any enemy attack, and for this reason, we must immediately and unconditionally restore the principle of leadership when we first arrived here, and all actions must obey the orders of Supreme Commander Liu Yun!" ”

"I agree!"

Minister of the Interior Mo Ning preemptively stated that the moment he entered this secret room, he had already decided to hand over his life to Liu Yun.

Immediately afterwards, the other twelve mouths couldn't wait to call out the words "I agree", among which Zhang Zhigao's voice was the loudest.

"So, Supreme Commander Comrade Liu Yun, what should we do now?"

Zhang Zhigao immediately set a new name for Liu Yun before others, and Liu Yun nodded without hesitation to accept this title.

"The most important thing now is intelligence, we need to know the size and location of this space-time task force and the exact location of the arrival site, in addition, the complete purpose of the other party's purpose must also be clarified. A space-time conversion consumes billions of dollars worth of electricity and particle sources, and I don't think our wise government is going to spend so much money just to capture our dozens of traitors, and that task force must have a more important mission, and maybe we can cooperate with them on that basis...... But in any case, it is important to let them know that we are 'qualified' to work with them, and that if we are vulnerable, they will of course be happy to take us back and ask for credit while completing the main task - so it is imperative to be ready for battle. Once we find out the specific location of the other party's arrival at the scene, we must launch an attack while their foothold is not stable, and even if we cannot annihilate them, we must also let them know the 'strength' we have, and only then can we have the opportunity to cooperate. ”

Yang Zhengjin said in due course: "Our secret intelligence organization 'Eagle Wolf Team' has sent people to Jundu Mountain and Yanshan to search. ”

"An unmanned reconnaissance aircraft will soon be dispatched to conduct a search, and in addition, the A2 enhanced communication machine has also been turned on, hoping that the other party will be able to contact us directly after receiving the signal."

After Liu Yun finished speaking, he snapped his fingers in his ear, and suddenly stretched out two sturdy arms in the hazy shadows behind him, holding a laptop computer connected with several plug-in cables of different thicknesses and several strangely shaped accessories—that is, the control terminal of the A2 enhanced communication machine—and placed them in front of Liu Yun.

Zhang Zhigao's eyes straightened: "This kind of thing...... I've been collecting it for a long time. ”

"I haven't used it for fourteen years, even when I put down Ding Jieyun's rebellion, it was not used, and it was very well sealed, no different from a new one. Also, this secret warehouse under the Ministry of Defense compound houses all the heavy equipment we brought with us, as well as a full set of virtual reality simulators, and every year I select the most reliable fighters from our secret special forces unit 'Haw Par Battalion' to use the simulators to familiarize themselves with the operation of these heavy equipment in order to deal with emergencies like today's - of course, I really never expected the task force to come here. An hour ago, I had the assault unit of the Haw Par Battalion come over and adjust the heavy equipment, and if everything is normal, we will have some counterattack capability in another hour or two. In addition, the 300 Haw Par Battalion guards equipped with a full set of standard combat equipment of the 201st Special Operations Regiment in 2025 have already been on guard near the Ministry of National Defense. ”

Zhang Zhigao let out an "oh" in understanding.

Mo Ning habitually touched the black-rimmed glasses on his nose: "In this way, we still have the strength to compete with each other......"

"Until the exact situation of the other party is clarified, such words are meaningless. If our previous inference is correct, then the other party should be from 2039, that is, they should have 14 years of advanced technical equipment than us, in our time, the development of technology is changing with each passing day, and in terms of equipment, we should be at an unchangeable disadvantage. ”

The more urgent the situation, the clearer Liu Yun's mind became, and the more his cognitive power swelled like a geometric multiple, and at this point, no general, minister, master, or doctor here could compare with him.

Hearing Liu Yun's cruel prophecy, Jiang Wentao, the Minister of Communications, Chairman of the Aviation Planning Committee, and Chief Adviser of the Navy's Ship Administration Headquarters, nicknamed the "Design Maniac", pulled his unkempt curly hair like an eagle's nest and said fiercely: "Damn, when will you not come, but you will kill me at this juncture, my beloved No. 12 design...... My beloved No. 12 design has been approved by the Ship Administration Headquarters, and I am about to apply for funding from Congress, my No. 12, my beloved daughter, my standard row of 19,003, my speed of 22, my centerline five-seat double 305 mm 45 times diameter main gun, my key protection plus subdivision watertight cabin, she is the trend of the world, she will definitely be able to replace our dreadnoughts in the history books of time and space...... I think about it, she is called Beiyue, the history books of this time and space will record, starting from 1900, the great powers of the world began a naval arms race with the construction of the 'Beiyue' type warship as the core, my dream, the dream that is about to be realized, and those greater dreams, my 356 main gun carrier, my 381 main gun carrier, my 406 main gun carrier, my 460 main gun carrier, my 5100 main gun plus 100,000 tons of standard row of sea overlord...... How can you be interrupted by these ignorant pig heads who break in indiscriminately! Bastards, I'm going to kill them! Supreme Commander Comrade Liu Yun, please give the order, let me destroy them with my own hands! ”

Liu Yun's eyelids drooped a little: "Your enthusiasm is very valuable, but you ...... What the hell are you going to ruin them? ”

"I already have an idea! A month ago, the Beiyang Heavy Industry Naval Artillery Factory in Tianjin completed the trial production of two 305-mm naval guns of the 042 type with a diameter of 45 times the diameter, and after preliminary tests, the maximum firing range reached 21 kilometers. Later, the news came that the Vladivostok fortress raiders had broken through the first main line of defense of the Russian army, and because the army's siege artillery was not in enough range, it was necessary to break through the second main line of defense of the Vladivostok fortress in order to set up heavy guns to bombard the Russian fleet, and the General Staff Equipment Department took a fancy to these two long-firing naval guns and began to study how to use these two guns to attack the Russian fleet in Vladivostok Port. Just yesterday, the two guns had just been refitted, and the 305th Train Artillery Battalion had been formed for them, and the original plan was to disassemble and load them on 2 May, transport them to Nakhodka, and then drive from Nakhodka along the newly laid railway line of our army to the Vladivostok front. ”

The chief of operations, Hu Ke, narrowed his eyes: "I haven't confirmed that they are in Jundu Mountain and Yanshan Mountain......"

Liu Yun waved his hand to Hook: "It should be in that area, the ancillary facilities of the time machine are very complex and expensive, the pile of zha medicine we put before leaving is only enough to blow up the main machine, the ancillary facilities should be fine, if you want to rebuild the time machine, even if you don't rebuild it on the original site, you will choose a place not far from the ancillary facilities, so the geographical arrival point of the new time machine should be similar to the arrival point of the old time machine." Jiang Wentao's idea is very good, it is better than nothing, and if there is one more means to damage the other party, the bargaining chips that our side has will be one point stronger, so let's do it, Hook, you come to draft an order, and in the name of an emergency exercise, order the 305th Train Artillery Battalion to go to Huairou overnight to stand by. ”

"Yes......"

As soon as Hook began to draft the order, Yang Zhengjin immediately proposed: "The Supreme Commander said well, something is better than nothing, and now that the situation is critical, should we inform other comrades on the front line of the situation and ask them to select a small number of capable and reliable troops to return to Beijing urgently?" Also, our aviation floating forces may still be of some use, should we immediately order all aviation floating groups and independent units to assemble in Beijing......
