"What are you kidding? They sank our warship ?? ”

Ruan Yongliang was stunned to look at the latest battle report, and the cigar in his hand was directly crushed by him.

The spark fell on the expensive Persian carpet, and the pungent green smoke rose, but he didn't bother to care.

Ruan Huakai on the opposite side looked angry and said angrily:

"Yes, their FA-18 fighters directly attacked our warship, attacked the flagship with cannons, causing the flagship to catch fire and explode, causing at least dozens of casualties."

"Now that the warship has returned, we have just received a notice from the other party"

"Where are the people? I mean, where are the sailors in hand? ”

"In port"

"Prepare the car, let's go now!"

Nguyen did not contact Reagan immediately, because he knew that since the other party could do such a thing, the communication was meaningless.

There was a secret remorse in his heart.

When the warship was dispatched at that time, he did receive a call from the aircraft carrier.

However, because he predicted what they wanted to say in advance, he deliberately treated it coldly.

His idea is very simple, when the raw rice is cooked and cooked, even if they don't want to participate, they will have to rush the ducks to the shelves.

Could it be that they watched the Chinese people establish superiority on the sea and seize the initiative?

This is definitely not in their interest! ——

However, he never imagined that the attack over there would be so ruthless.

They don't want to resolve the conflict, but directly address the people who caused it!

What are you doing? Agreed, join forces, you guys fight friendly forces first??

didn't have time to think too much, Ruan Yongliang walked out of the door quickly, got into a special car and went straight to the port.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the port.

At this time, the port can be said to be a mess.

Wounded soldiers crying, officers angrily giving orders, rumbling speedboats, and even a few gunshots

Even when they saw his car and guards, these people did not immediately restore order.

"Let the guards go up to maintain order, and we'll go see the wounded soldiers first!"

Ruan Yongliang spoke.

"Understood!"

Ruan Huakai hurriedly led him forward, and in a makeshift tent, Ruan Yongliang saw the wounded soldier who had just been rescued from the sea.

Appalling.

Under the cannon, all beings are equal.

Even a 120mm bullet that can tear a big hole in steel and hit a flesh and blood, so is there still any life?

The unfortunate soldier who was hit was not as simple as being injured, but luckily, losing a part of his body.

And bad luck

It turned into a pile of minced meat.

Minced meat sticking to the deck.

The comrades in charge of the rescue had no way to deal with it, so they had to cut off the entire deck.

There was only a skull on it, plus arms, and the shape of a human could barely be seen.

Below the abdomen, it has almost completely disappeared

"What are you doing here? Clean up the morgue! ”

The military doctor on the side stepped forward tremblingly and replied:

"When he first arrived, he was still conscious."

Ruan Yongliang frowned, even if he had experienced the real battlefield, he couldn't imagine how much pain this was.

He turned his head to the doctor and asked:

"What about the others? Report casualties! ”

"In total, 49 people were injured, 12 were killed, most of them by drowning, and only 4 died directly from the attack and subsequent explosions"

Hearing this, Ruan Yongliang breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the losses are not too big.

At this moment, what he was thinking about was not how to seek justice from the United States, but felt that if the direct casualties they caused were not large, then there was still something to talk about!

Even, using this as a bargaining chip, you can also reach out and ask for some unthinkable benefits compensation

His expression relaxed again.

In his eyes, these fallen sailors were not that important.

Especially, when they are alive, it doesn't matter.

Only the dead can be bargaining chips.

He turned to Ruan Huakai on the side and said:

"Get the morgue out and gather all the bodies together-—— including that deck."

"Then, arrange for reporters to take pictures, remember, be sure to shoot miserably, don't let go of any details!"

"Until then, block all news!"

Ruan Huakai was a little hesitant, he frowned and asked:

"Do you really want to do this? They sacrificed for the country, and even if we can't give them an explanation, we shouldn't desecrate the corpse like this."

No matter how iron-fisted and tough he usually behaves, the concept of "human rights" will still occupy an important position in the face of real human life.

Ruan Yongliang glared at him and replied:

"I don't care what you think, but, do as I say now!"

"We have suffered huge losses, and in this case, we must use all the resources at our disposal to fight for the interests of the country!"

"They're dead, they're loyal warriors, but their value hasn't been realized at all."

"So, we have to help them again."

Speaking of this, Ruan Yongliang's tone softened slightly.

"I'm as sad as you are, but there are some things I have to do."

"When you become a true commander, you must leave behind the kindness and mercy of your heart now, and go ahead."

"When it's over, we'll give them another funeral, hero-like funeral."

Ruan Huakai sighed and turned to leave.

Soon after, the morgue was set up, and the bodies of all the soldiers who died on the spot, as well as those who died later due to untimely and inadequate treatment, were sent in.

The smell of death permeated the small room, and the smell of blood, the smell of seawater, and the stench of excrement before death filled it, and even caused the reporter who walked in to vomit on the spot.

But at gunpoint in Nguyen Hoa Khai, the journalists still coped with their task perfectly.

One by one, the photos were washed out, and the specially recorded videos were edited.

In the video, Ruan Huakai introduced the casualties with a heavy face.

Even though he was extremely angry in his heart, he still carefully avoided some sensitive words that were targeted.

Yes, he still does not dare to directly accuse the United States and the Reagan.

Because whether it is him, Nguyen Yongliang, or the military, they all know that if the Reagan can do such a thing, it means that they are ready for the worst.

At times like these, they must no longer be provoked.

Yes, find a way to reason with them.

in what they do best.

For example, human rights

A few hours later, Nguyen Hoa Khai followed Nguyen Dung Luong and boarded the USS Reagan for the first time.

He looked around with a little curiosity, but was stopped by the soldiers on duty in a stern voice, almost as if "escorted", and led them into the captain's room.

And in the captain's room, he finally met the legendary commander-in-chief of the USS Reagan aircraft carrier formation, Michael Thomas.

The other party's expression was extremely indifferent, and even after seeing his arrival, he did not get up to greet him, but sat quietly on the sofa, drinking coffee and lighting his cigar by himself.

Ruan Yongliang stepped forward in embarrassment and stretched out his hand, and then said:

"Mr. Thomas, we've met before. Sorry to interrupt. ”

Thomas did not intend to respond to his overtures in the slightest, but said lightly:

"You really should be sorry."

As soon as he said this, the captain's room immediately fell silent.

Ruan Huakai's emotions that had gradually fallen silent were reawakened, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

What do you mean by "we should be sorry"?

You attacked us without saying anything, causing us casualties, and now you say, "We should be sorry"?

What kind of joke is this?

Even if you have a valid reason, shouldn't you think about how to explain it after it happens?

That's a dozen lives!

Is it really worthless in your eyes?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously wanted to step forward and speak, but was glared back by Ruan Yongliang's eyes.

Then, Ruan Yongliang carefully sat down opposite Thomas and said:

"I think there seems to be some misunderstanding between us that needs to be resolved."

"This accidental injury has cost us a lot, and it has also exposed the problems in communication between our two sides."

"If there is an opportunity, I would like to propose that a practical and effective communication system be established between the two sides for broader cooperation."

"Such a system can be developed from the military first."

"Of course, we don't expect to share intelligence and data, but at the very least, we can develop a regular reporting process."

Hearing Ruan Yongliang's words, Ruan Huakai was stunned.

He didn't expect that his father could have such a vision!

At the beginning, he thought that what Ruan Yongliang said about "more benefits" was nothing more than equipment and economic compensation, but now, what he proposed is actually . Deepen cooperation!

Moreover, in terms of the way of cooperation, Nguyen Yong Luong pointed to the core point, that is, information exchange.

In the eyes of many small countries, the desire to attach themselves to a large power often begins with arms procurement, but what they do not know is that commercial ties in equipment alone are simply not enough to form a real bond of interest between the two countries.

Information.

Only information is the only link.

If information can be exchanged, then the two countries will really stand on the same boat

He looked at Thomas expectantly, but he didn't even lift his eyes.

"You're thinking too much."

This time, even Ruan Yongliang was stunned.

"I don't seem to understand what you mean."

"I said, you're thinking too much, you're crossing the line."

Thomas said bluntly.

"Do you think I don't know your true intentions? Want to bind us to you by means of war, and then profit from it? ”

"The idea is good, but before you implement it, you should look at your own strength."

"I can tell you that your losses were not accidental, but I personally ordered the attack."

"Because I know that if you don't do it this way, you won't look back."

"Actually, we gave it a chance."

"However, you have refused our communication."

"Well, there is no way, we can only resort to the most extreme way."

Hearing Thomas's words, Ruan Yongliang took a deep breath, restrained his emotions, and then replied:

"Yes, I admit we were too impulsive."

"However, we have no intention of tying up your country."

"It was just an accident. Whether it was an unconsulted dispatch or an attack, it was an accident. ”

"Whatever."

Thomas snorted coldly and did not speak again.

Seeing his performance, Ruan Yongliang's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.

He nodded to Ruan Huakai, who hurriedly handed over the document bag that had already been prepared.

Ruan Yongliang took the document and put it on the table, and then said:

"Anyway, it's happened."

"But how to deal with the aftermath, I still want to discuss it with you."

"Here, I have a picture of the situation on the spot, and I want you to take a look."

"Of course, it's up to you whether it depends on you."

As he spoke, Ruan Yongliang put his hand on the file bag and stared straight at Thomas.

Thomas looked at him without fear, and after a long time, he burst out laughing.

"If I say, I don't want to see it, what's your next step?"

Ruan Yongliang didn't answer, and Thomas continued to talk to himself.

"You're going to make these photos public, maybe even a video of the scene, and of course, there's your comments along with it."

"You will define this incident as a 'mistake' rather than a 'declaration of war,' but again, you will ask us to give you an answer."

"You will seize on the key words of 'human rights' and 'humanitarianism' to play up, under the pretext of wanting justice for your own soldiers, but in fact you just want to get more benefits from us."

"Perhaps, you've already bought off the media, right?"

Thomas smiled contemptuously, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Ruan Huakai, who was standing on the side, felt a tightness in his heart, and he suddenly realized that playing this kind of trick, the man opposite, and the country behind him, were the real masters.

How could they possibly be threatened by this?

Before he could think about it, Thomas continued.

"You really don't have a long memory, do you think we are those Huaxia people?"

"Their kindness is not a quality common to all great powers."

"I might as well tell you, even if all these reports are published, you won't take advantage of anything."

"Because, it was your warship that broke into our warning zone and insisted on approaching it after repeated warnings."

"As a last resort, we carried out a warning shooting."

"Of course, you need to bear all the consequences."

"If you don't believe me, you can try."

With that, Thomas got up directly, and the guards on the side immediately stepped forward and stopped in the middle of the two sides.

Ruan Yongliang's face was red and white, and he subconsciously clenched his fists, but in the end, he could only let go helplessly.

"Goodbye."

He spoke.

Thomas smiled contemptuously.

"Goodbye, Mr. Nguyen Dung Luong."

"Before I go, though, I can give you a word of advice."

"Put yourself in the right place."

"The game between us is not something that characters like you can participate in."
