"Why is it going in the wrong direction, please explain," Claire asked, after a moment's thought.

"Before explaining, please answer me a question, please answer it truthfully!" Shu Yunpeng said to Claire: "What is the situation on the fortress side now? ”

"No movement," Claire replied, "I tried to contact them, but there was no response." ”

Shu Yunpeng smiled. This result was expected by him: "Not long ago, they were chasing you, asking you to dredge up with General Yi Qianya and want to negotiate, why don't you want to negotiate now?" ”

"Look at our failure to win United Mining, and we want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" Claire said helplessly: "Maddie and Zhou Yongyun, they are both ** lakes." They have experienced all the vicissitudes of life in the political game, and they are naturally very familiar with the wind and the rudder. ”

"Isn't this just that we are attacking in the wrong direction, the war has become a stalemate, and the weak are suddenly encouraged and become stronger?"

"I don't understand, you mean the fortress is weak?" Zhang Jingyi asked: "The fortress was built to deal with the Jones people, not to mention the strong firepower equipment, even the combat effectiveness of the army is also very strong." Coupled with the fact that Maddie and Zhou Yongyun carefully built and purposefully cultivated and strengthened their own forces, how could they be weak?

"Let's consider the combination of factors, my sister!" Shu Yunpeng said with a smile: "The fortress seems to have strong defenses and perfect firepower, and the soldiers have strong combat effectiveness, but their Achilles' heel is that they have always relied on the central city to supply supplies, and their reserves are insufficient and their self-supply ability is weak. Once there is no supply, there will soon be a shortage of materials, and there will be chaos without a fight! ”

Claire and Zhang Jingyi were silent, and even Yi Ru, Xiang Zidan and others were silent.

"And what about United Mining? They have worked hard for many years, just for this day. If the material reserve can last for ten years, it will be no problem to insist on it for three or five years! Therefore, the plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle will not work for them in a short time! ”

"Is it too late to pivot?" Zhang Jingyi asked eagerly. Shu Yunpeng's statement, she accepted it at once.

Shu Yunpeng said: "There should still be a chance...... I believe that United Mining must be in frequent contact with Maddie and Zhou Yongyun to win them over. What we have to do now is to closely monitor the movements around the two forts to prevent United Mining from giving them blood transfusions......"

"It seems that the opposite ......" Zhang Jingyi pondered, "It seems that we really need to change our strategy and turn our heads to deal with the two fortresses first!" ”

"Also, it's time for your special forces team to get them moving......"

"That's it!" Claire stood up and stopped Shu Yunpeng from going down and said, "Let's go see General Yi Qianya together!" ”

They hurried out together and went straight to the military ** building, that is, the original committee building. On the way, Yi Ru quietly approached Shu Yunpeng and whispered, "Brother, I blame you......"

Shu Yunpeng squeezed her hand and didn't speak.

On the frontal front, except for some small units dispatched from time to time, the ** army no longer launched large-scale offensives. Claire had mobilized her special forces team to break into pieces and disappeared into the wilderness. In addition, a part of the ** army began to quietly shift its positions and secretly move in the direction of the second and third forts.

"I want to requisition your spaceship and be my command ship," Claire found Shu Yunpeng: "I also want to see the power of your ion cannon." ”

"That's okay," Shu Yunpeng agreed. He was actually prepared, and as soon as Claire mentioned it, he immediately summoned Xiang Zidan and waited for the spaceship. The spacecraft immediately lifted off and flew directly out of the atmosphere.

"I said," Claire wondered as she watched the spacecraft fly out of the atmosphere and into the darkness of space, "flying so high, can I still see my troops?" ”

"Don't you want to see the power of the ion cannon?" Shu Yunpeng replied: "I have to collect ions first!" ”

For three days, there was no movement, and Zhang Jingyi was a little anxious. She was eager to attack immediately to avenge the loss of two space cruisers: "Why hasn't there been any movement yet?" ”

"You'd better not get too far ahead," Claire warned her, "Don't forget, the fortress has enough firepower to destroy your ship, don't risk it!" ”

"You still have to pay attention," Shu Yunpeng added, "I estimate that with the current capacity of United Mining, it is very likely that several warships are about to roll off the assembly line, so don't be caught off guard by then." ”

"Do you really think so?" Claire was a little surprised when she heard Shu Yunpeng say this: "Their production capacity is so strong? ”

"It's not that their production capacity is much better than ours, it's that we just decided to build a new ship here, and they've been building it non-stop!" Shu Yunpeng said: "Do you think, they may only build six ships and stop work? When the sixth ship rolls off the assembly line, the seventh and eighth ships ...... It's definitely already online, maybe it's almost done! ”

"Oh, that's a real possibility......"

Claire said, looking at Shu Yunpeng. She sat behind the driver's seat. It seemed like a long time ago to sit so close to him, to join the battle together, and to have no one else around. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little impulse in her heart, and she wanted to go over and hug him.

But the thought of the last time she fainted in the bathtub made Claire's heart tremble. Naturally, an inexplicable sense of panic made her dispel her thoughts.

She was distracted, and Shu Yunpeng happened to turn his face to look at her. Seeing her soulless look, he smiled: "What are you thinking?" ”

"We seem to ...... It's been a long time since I've been alone like this! Claire suddenly sighed. In this situation, she was alone with him, which made her heart suddenly surge with a warm comfort.

"You're busy!" Shu Yunpeng teased: "Commander-in-Chief Claire, General Claire, how can I, a common man, expect to stay with you for a long time!" ”

"You're always teasing me!" Claire sighed and said, "When this battle is over, I really want to give myself a vacation......

"Don't think about it, General Claire," Shu Yunpeng said with a smile: "You always say that, what kind of rest and rest, take your own vacation, but never do it." ”

"I really think so," Claire said, "but there's always something going on." ”

"Really?" Shu Yunpeng looked at her sideways again: "I see that there is no movement today, you might as well go to the cabin to rest and sleep." If interested, I will sleep with you. ”

His face was already thick, but she blushed and didn't know how to answer. Fear came back to her, and her heart began to tremble again. The unexpected dizziness that day interrupted their intimacy, and the blow to her was too great. She was even worried that he would feel uncomfortable if she was so unhappy. Therefore, he took the initiative to sleep with her at this time, but she didn't dare to agree.

The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was getting darker. Xiang Zidan finished eating with Emily and Liang Jingjing and came to change the guard. Shu Yunpeng and Claire came to the restaurant together, and Yi Ru was preparing dinner for them: "It's okay right away, you guys sit down first!" ”

She quickly set up the table and put the food, and then said that she was going to the front, and with Xiang Zidan and the others, she left.

There were only the two of them left in the restaurant, and both of them bowed their heads to eat, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. After the intimacy of that accidental miscarriage, Shu Yunpeng found that Claire became silent in front of him. The state of freedom between them that they had nothing to talk about seemed to disappear with it.

After eating, Shu Yunpeng cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks by himself and put them in the dishwasher. When he returned to the dining room, he saw Claire pondering there with her head down.

"What do you think?" He sat down across from her.

Claire looked up: "The special forces team has no information yet!" ”

"Don't worry," Shu Yunpeng comforted: "The fortress must be very well guarded, and it is not so easy for them to sneak in." As for the liaison between United Mining and the Fortress, we do not know their frequency bands and cannot monitor them. So we can only wait for the shortage of supplies in the fortress to happen, so we can only wait patiently. ”

"I know......" Claire's voice was low, with a listless look.

"Claire!" He suddenly called out to her.

"What's wrong?" Shu Yunpeng's shouting was very loud, which startled her: "Why are you so loud?" ”

"You've been a little sluggish lately," Shu Yunpeng showed a worried look on his face: "If you're unhappy, can't you tell me?" ”

"I'm not unhappy," Claire smiled reluctantly, "I'm just worried about the progress of the war, it's a little stressful!" ”

"Claire, don't talk to me about work pressure! Your work pressure has never been small, and you have never been depressed because of the pressure of work! Shu Yunpeng said very seriously: "Actually, you have more than these in your heart......

"Don't talk about that, okay?" Claire was almost pleading: "I don't want to talk about it, I'm tired!" ”

Shu Yunpeng looked at Claire almost with pity. Claire seems to have a strong personality, but she is actually very fragile inside. What many people see is Claire's appearance, strong figure, bold expression, a very good female soldier. In fact, she is a sentimental woman who always overthinks about it, a woman who hides her inner weakness with her outer toughness. Years of military experience have strengthened her outward strength, making her herself believe in it and reluctant to ask for help.

"Okay, go to sleep!" Shu Yunpeng knew that it was useless to say anything now, he couldn't say anything more, so he persuaded softly: "Sleep well, if there is a situation, Xiang Zidan and they will report it immediately." ”

Claire nodded, smiled at Shu Yunpeng, and then stood up and walked in the direction of the sleeping cabin. Shu Yunpeng sat still and didn't move, he really wanted to follow. But as a result, he didn't move, just watched Claire's figure disappear.

He sighed, he didn't know what to do. He found that since Qin Huaiyu's death, he no longer had the interest and courage to do it without saying anything.
