Chapter 272: Request for Support
Ding Kai fidgeted around the room, and now he was anxious to know what was going on in the battle in Yaqiu City?
Due to the current blockade of the Internet, Ding Kai cannot get any information from the Internet, so he can only know the current situation through the soldiers.
Just when Ding Kai was waiting impatiently, a soldier brought drinks and food, and Ding Kai immediately greeted him and asked anxiously, "How is it?" How is the battle going now? ”
"I don't know much about this, I'll go and ask for the adults." The soldier said with a smile.
Ding Kai nodded and said, "Go quickly, no matter what the situation is, you must tell me immediately!" ”
"Yes, then I'll ask." The soldier nodded and said, but there was no intention of moving under his feet.
Ding Kai was so shrewd, he understood what the other party meant at once, took out a card from his arms with a slight smile, stuffed it into the soldier's hand, and said: "This is the VIP card of the concentration hotel in the city, you can spend as much as you want, there is no problem within 10,000 yuan." ”
The soldier looked at the card in his hand, and immediately showed a bright smile on his face, and said again and again: "My lord is too polite, I will go and inquire for you immediately!" ”
"Go ahead, tell me if you hear anything!"
The soldier said his goodbye and immediately ran out, and Ding Kai nodded with satisfaction.
After a while, the soldier ran back with a smile on his face: "My lord, everything is going well now, the security forces have joined our army, and they are about to attack!" ”
"Really? That's good! Ding Kai said happily: "There should be no problem in this way, after all, the number has an advantage." ”
"Yes, there are so many troops, where are those people in Jieyi enough to fight."
Ding Kai patted the soldier on the shoulder and said, "You go and inquire again, and tell me as soon as you have any news, I will naturally be indispensable for your benefits." ”
"Okay, I'll go to the door of the command post and stand guard, and I'll come over as soon as I hear the news." The soldier nodded.
Time passed little by little, and the soldiers who had received the benefits of Ding Kai came over every ten minutes, constantly relaying the news from the front to Ding Kai.
"My lord, the offensive has begun!"
"Very good, very good......"
"My lord, the exchange of fire is fierce now, and the losses are basically the same, but we have a numerical advantage after all, so there is no need to worry about it at all."
"That's right, even if it's a war of attrition, we still have an advantage." Ding Kai said approvingly.
"My lord, the other party's mecha seems to be quite powerful, and our losses are a bit ......."
"My lord, our army doesn't seem to be going well, and I don't seem to be happy on the faces of those officers......"
The news brought by the soldiers slowly turned into mixed news from the various good news at the beginning, and in the back, the bad news continued one after another, and the battle situation became more and more confusing.
Ding Kai's mood seemed to be on a roller coaster, high for a while and low for a while, which made him more and more nervous.
As soon as the door rang, Ding Kai, who was lying on the bed, jumped up like a spring, and when he saw that the soldier was coming again, he hurriedly asked, "How is it now?" ”
With a bitter look on his face, the soldier shook his head and said, "I heard that the battle ahead is very hard, and I heard from the officers that it seems that they plan to retreat." ”
"What? Fall back? Ding Kai was taken aback, he didn't expect the battle situation to be so unfavorable, and it had reached the point of retreating.
"I've heard from the officers, and I can't guarantee ...... reliability," the soldier said timidly.
Ding Kai couldn't stay any longer, hurriedly got dressed, and said to the soldier: "I'll go over and ask in person!" ”
"Big ...... Don't say what I said, or I'll be punished!" The soldier said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I won't tell you!" Ding Kai didn't have the patience to entangle with the soldiers, so he threw down a sentence and ran out.
Rushing to the command post in one breath, Ding Kai was about to enter the door, but the guards guarding the door immediately stopped him, "My lord, you can't go in!" ”
"You...... You go away! Ding Kai said a little angrily: "I have something important, can you afford to be responsible for delaying?" ”
"Then you can't go in either!" The guard said unrelentingly.
The two of them spoke loudly, which immediately alarmed the people inside, and saw an officer running out, seeing Ding Kai arguing with the guards, and hurriedly came over to persuade him.
"Governor Ding, what's going on? Can I help you? The officer asked.
When Ding Kai saw that an officer was coming, he ignored the guards and said to the officer: "I want to go in and ask, what is the current battle situation?" ”
The officer showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said hesitantly: "This ...... I'm afraid it's not very convenient, after all, there are rules in the barracks, and only those who have permission can enter the command post. ”
Ding Kai said angrily: "Am I not qualified? Don't forget what this place is! This is in Aqiu, and I'm the governor of Aqiu! ”
Ding Kai's roar immediately alarmed all the people inside, and a group of officers walked out one after another, led by Major Liu Zhen, who was in charge of staying behind.
I saw Liu Zhen walking quickly towards the door, and asked, "What's wrong?" Who's making the noise? ”
Ding Kai said loudly: "I'm Ding Kai!" ”
"Yo, it's Governor Ding, is there anything wrong with your lordship?" Liu Zhen hurriedly greeted him and said.
"Humph! I wanted to ask about the situation, but it's really ...... for your subordinates to obstruct them in every way," Ding Kai said angrily.
Liu Zhen hurriedly persuaded: "I'm sorry Lord Ding, they also act according to the rules, please forgive me if I offend you." ”
After Liu Zhen's persuasion, Ding Kai was relieved, but he was very concerned about the current battle situation, and anxiously asked Liu Zhen: "How is the battle situation now?" Can you tell me more about it? ”
Liu Zhen showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and he looked like he wanted to say something, Ding Kai had already guessed a few points in his heart, and the current battle situation was probably really not optimistic.
"Governor Ding, the current situation is not optimistic, according to the news just now, both sides have suffered heavy losses at present, and the battle has fallen into a stalemate." Liu Zhen said in a deep voice.
Ding Kai asked in disbelief, "How is this possible?" Our side has twice as many troops as the other side, so can we still win? ”
"You can't say that, the other party has a factory that produces mechas, which can be replenished at any time, and one less on our side is one, and the longer we fight, the more disadvantageous it will be for us." Liu Zhen explained.
Ding Kai heard Liu Zhen say this, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while, so he could only believe Liu Zhen's statement.
"So what's next? Is there any chance that we will win? Ding Kai asked.
"I don't dare to say this, I have to ask Lieutenant Colonel Hou Yi to know." Liu Zhen replied.
Ding Kai said: "I want to talk to Lieutenant Colonel Hou Yi, please connect for me immediately." ”
Liu Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, just to get through immediately." ”
A moment later, Ding Kai saw Hou Yi from the video, and saw that Hou Yi's hair was messy, his face was stained, and his clothes were full of dust, looking very embarrassed.
"Governor Ding, I heard you have something to tell me?" Hou Yi asked in a dry voice.
Ding Kai saw Hou Yi's appearance and basically believed Liu Zhen's words, it seems that the battle ahead is indeed very difficult.
"Lieutenant Colonel Hou Yi, I want to ask you, what is the current battle situation? Is there any hope of winning? Ding Kai asked.
"The battle is tough at the moment, the number of mechs on the other side is more than we expected, I can't promise you anything." Hou Yi replied.
After hearing this, Ding Kai was very dissatisfied, and his face became gloomy unconsciously. After thinking for a while, Ding Kai said to Hou Yi: "Lieutenant Colonel Hou Yi, I have an idea, if you can't ensure victory, why don't you ask Admiral Li Xingqi for assistance?" ”
Hou Yi sank his face and said very dissatisfiedly: "Governor Ding, what do you mean by this?" Do you think we're going to be defeated? ”
Ding Kai hurriedly said: "No, I definitely didn't mean that, what I meant was that since the battle is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat now, it is better to request support in time, so as not to really have an unexpected situation, and it will be too late at that time." ”
Hou Yi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, since Governor Ding thinks this is necessary, then ask Governor Ding to make a request to Admiral Li." ”
Now Ding Kai only hoped that the war could be won, and it didn't matter who made the request, so he nodded and agreed: "It's okay, I'll tell Admiral Li." ”
After ending the call, Ding Kai immediately asked Liu Zhen to contact Li Xingqi, Liu Zhen had already obtained Hou Yi's permission just now, so he naturally had to comply.
After a while, Liu Zhen got in touch with Li Xingqi, and then handed over the communicator to Ding Kai and asked him to negotiate with Li Xingqi in person.
Ding Kai told Li Xingqi about the current situation of Yaqiu, and asked Li Xingqi to send a fleet to support immediately, otherwise I am afraid that Yaqiu's situation is not optimistic.
After Li Xingqi learned the seriousness of the matter, he basically agreed to Ding Kai's request, but Li Xingqi told Ding Kai that he had to get Du Guang's permission to send out the fleet, otherwise he had no right to lead the fleet to attack.
At this time, Ding Kai was so anxious that he scolded Du Guang in his heart for seeing power as his life, and the fleet admiral under his command couldn't call the shots, and Du Guang had to be consulted for everything.
However, now Ding Kai urgently needs Du Guang's support, even if he has more complaints in his heart, he can only hide it in his heart.
About an hour later, Li Xingqi finally gave an answer, he had already told Du Guang about the matter, but Du Guang had to call Ding Kai in person before he could decide.
Ding Kai had no choice but to make a video call with Du Guang and personally asked Du Guang for reinforcements.
After Ding Kai's repeated requests, Du Guang finally agreed to Ding Kai and agreed to send Li Xingqi's fleet to the rescue.
Before ending the call, Du Guang said to Ding Kai: "Brother Ding, you should also be more attentive in government affairs, you can't let me solve everything for you, I hope you can think about it." ”
After listening to Du Guang's words, Ding Kai's nose was crooked, and he said in his heart: "What are you, it's just that you're lucky, I'm a thousand times stronger than you than your work ability!" ”
