Chapter 16: Operation Touchstone
Hearing that BIS was coming, all the Imperial officers of the Federation walked out of the command room curiously. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As far as the eye can see, on the sparse green grass, there are two armed fighters of the latest model of the Federation, and several men wearing sunglasses and black suits look like the clone agents in "Hacker Empire", stepping on the shiny leather shoes under their feet, trampling on the wet grass with light morning dew, even though the beveled edges are covered with mud, their eyes are still looking straight ahead.
At the end of the team, followed by a woman wearing a black leather bodysuit, a slender waist, and slender legs, Yang Lei recognized Tang You at a glance, and immediately touched the tip of his nose in his heart, and barely squeezed out a smile on his face after inhaling the cold wind.
In the bleak Pearl Harbor, many wounded soldiers were sitting on the ground receiving bandaging treatment, the bandages on their heads oozed red blood, and even some stumps and severed arms that had not been completely sutured were exuding a bloody breath.
It is well known in the industry that the federal military and BIS have an irreconcilable relationship, which also stems from the complementarity that existed between the two sides before the Storm War, but it is undeniable that with the outbreak of the Pacific War, the two sides seem to have the same opinions and positions on certain matters.
"Hello, Lieutenant General Mitchell." The man in black who took the lead didn't know if it was to be cool or something, so he chose to appear in a trench coat, but after taking off his sunglasses, his sharp eyes quickly reduced the sharpness of the surrounding commanders of the Federal Empire by half, probably because of the slight hairspray, and the latter's black hair stood up neatly backwards without moving.
This made Yang Lei can't help but think of the trendy hairstyle in China in the last century, the man who combed his back and took off his sunglasses took the initiative to shake Lieutenant General Mitchell with one hand and said: "I am Bourne, the person in charge of this touchstone operation." ”
"Operation Touchstone?" Lieutenant General Mitchell asked: "Could it be that the Military Intelligence Service has secretly formulated some secret operations that our army does not know about?" ”
"That's right, according to the unification plan reached between our representatives and Speaker Rennes, it has been decided that a few of us will assist the countries of the Federation in the fight against the Japanese slave army." "Our main task is to help you obtain some advanced intelligence that is strategically necessary, so that it will be more helpful for you to make a plan of battle," Byrne said. ”
"Haha! Great, we were still discussing this matter just now, and we are worried about the hiding places of the Japanese Navy......" The old and cunning Vice Admiral Mitchell pushed the boat down the river and asked, "I wonder what reliable information you can bring with you this time?" For example, about the main gathering place of the Uno navy. ”
"I'm sorry, we didn't get any information on this before we came, but this is part of Operation Touchstone, we will do our duty and immediately rush to the front line to find out information for everyone, during this time, please don't rush to make command decisions, and all actions will not be too late after we find clues."
"You're saying I'm going to listen to you from this day forward?" Lieutenant General Mitchell deliberately said the opposite.
Unexpectedly, the man named Bourne, who made Yang Lei unable to distinguish his nationality, actually said without hesitation: "In a sense, this is indeed the case, and it is not today, but at this moment." ”
"Give me a reason."
When Lieutenant General Mitchell spoke, the adjutant under him had already put his hand on the pistol on his waist, which was completely in Payne's eyes, but Yang Lei could see a little fear on his face.
For a while, the entire Pearl Harbor camp was tense, and the silent smoke began to surround between the people on both sides, although Yang Lei believed that as long as Mitchell gave an angry order, these guys from the military intelligence department would be shot indiscriminately, but obviously, the contradiction at this time did not lie in these two groups of people, and had risen to the conflict within the military and the military command.
"Intelligence is an indispensable factor in a war, especially in a war of this magnitude, the defeat or victory of one side will lead to countless Union States and even the entire Federation being implicated and affected, so, General, you can not trust us, but you can't ignore the feelings of other empires."
There is no doubt about the important role played by intelligence in warfare, especially with the rapid development of modern science and technology and the in-depth study of intelligence warfare theories by the military of various empires, the position of intelligence reconnaissance in the international battlefield is even more irreplaceable, and the tasks and combat methods undertaken are also more complex and diversified than those in the storm war.
It's just that Yang Lei doesn't know whether the intelligence reconnaissance that Bourne is talking about refers to pan-electronic reconnaissance or the well-known elite spies within the military command.
Yang Lei clearly remembered what a top hacker in the electronic reconnaissance field once said: Sometimes, a radio station connected to radio equipment may determine the outcome of a battle and the lives of tens of millions of soldiers to a great extent.
This shows the role of a piece of information in the outcome of the battle at a critical moment.
The power of electronic reconnaissance lies in the fact that it is basically a stealth strategic activity that walks between signals, and in the case of the Hawkeye system of the American Empire, it can collect and analyze the signals of potential local radiation sources, and the intelligence information obtained can be used by the upper military departments and special agencies, or used to determine the enemy's firepower deployment before the battle.
Just as Lieutenant General Mitchell was thinking, Yang Lei suddenly felt that something was staring at him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Looking up at Tang You, who was full of indifference, he was a little surprised, and opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but because of the presence of Mitchell and many Federation commanders, he couldn't speak after all.
"Okay, what I need to know most now is the main garrison of the Uno Navy, if you can get the information within a day, I will do as you say, and the federal military will naturally cooperate with you in the next war."
Nodding, Byrne agreed: "No problem, it's not difficult to do." ”
"Then I'll wait for good news." Mitchell stretched out his finger again and reminded, "Remember, you only have one day, and if I don't hear from you tomorrow morning, then I will order the fleet in the harbor to launch a wide search in the Pacific theater." ”
Bourne didn't have any extra words, after putting on his sunglasses again, he turned around and left, and when he passed by Tang You's side, he said to her, "Do you want to stay here?" ”
"Nope." Tang You said, "I'll go with you." ”
Hearing this, Byrne glanced back at Yang Lei in front of the camp, his eyes were intriguing, but he didn't stop too much, and then led his men to board the black fighter.
Looking at the back of Tang You turning around and leaving him, Yang Lei had to try his best to imprint that face deeply in his mind, his long hair fluttering, and he looked back, as if he was forever frozen in this moment.
Hopefully, that so-called Operation Litmus Test will really work in the war...... (To be continued.) )
