Island nation, in a staff of the Self-Defense Forces.

Version Yasuo frowned and looked at the people in the conference room who bowed their heads like quails and were silent, wanting to be angry, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Blame the staff?

No, they didn't make any mistakes, and it can even be said that they have made the best decisions within their ability and power.

Withdraw from the exercise, withdraw from the conflict zone, and leave a ship behind to make a last-ditch effort.

It not only ensured its own security to the greatest extent, but also made a final fight for that important island.

Blame Hideo Fukuda?

Don't make a fuss, he's the most hero-like person in this incident, and even at the last moment before the impact, the Mayrain didn't slow down.

The reason for the loss, in the final analysis, is that the tonnage of his ship is too small.

Otherwise, he really could have hit 052D hard and delay the other party's progress.

As for blaming the American side?

Give the version Yasuo a hundred dares, he doesn't dare to do it.

——

While it is true that they are the most at fault, in this case they simply did not show any of the qualities that an ally should have.

It doesn't matter if the missile warning information is not synchronized, after all, this is high-level military intelligence information, and it is excusable that it is not synchronized until a basic judgment is made.

But the problem is that after the incident, the US side has even kept its follow-up response plan and attitude secret.

This also led to a major miscalculation of the situation by the island nation, which lost in vain a destroyer that can be called the main combat power.

After that, all the negotiations with the US side were perfunctory by the other side on the grounds that "the corner tower is studying and judging", and at this time, the version of Yasuo can be regarded as a retrospective.

The other two of the three parties must have reached some kind of consensus in private.

As an important participant in the event, they are directly excluded.

It was a great disgrace, and he felt like a dog being led out to bark when his owner needed it.

And as soon as it is no longer needed, it will be kicked away, and not even a bone will be given as a reward.

But so what? Even if he thought about it clearly, it was impossible for him to command his own army and jump up to bite the other party back.

——

Although it seems that you do have this opportunity.

At this moment, the version of Yasuo's mood was inexplicably shaken, and even the idea of "it's okay to give it a try" came up.

But he soon came to his senses again.

After all, such a decision is not qualified to be made

Thinking of this, he sighed and said:

"At this point, there is no point in holding anyone accountable."

"We can no longer expect them to be on our own if they want to fight for our rights."

Hearing his words, everyone in the audience fell silent.

I'm afraid I don't know the version, but everyone's first reaction at this moment is the same.

"On your own"?

How to rely on yourself? How many destroyers with less than half the tonnage of the opponent, helicopter carriers with nothing to show for themselves, and missiles that are not even a fraction of the opponent's in terms of yield?

Wishful thinking is no longer enough to describe such self-confidence

Seeing that everyone didn't react, Anxiong's expression became more and more severe, but after a long silence, his tone finally softened.

I'm not saying that we have to fight back."

"Actually, I also know that this is something that is impossible to achieve in the short term."

"Therefore, my request is that all combat units should remain vigilant to the greatest extent and do a good job in coastal defense."

"Although I believe that Huaxia's purpose is only for the island, not for our homeland, we have to prepare for the unexpected."

"As for the so-called counterattack, leave it to the other departments."

When the words fell, everyone present understood what he meant.

The military has already given up, and the next "conflict" will probably be limited to "rhetoric".

Akao Island "Ruins".

The aircraft carrier group has successfully reached the waters off Akao Island and established a defensive line here.

Luan Yijun looked at the blue pit in the middle of the atoll reef and said with a little emotion:

"The development of modern weapons has begun to gradually exceed my understanding."

"It's no wonder that the other side is so frightened, I estimate that any soldier who observes the effects of the explosion up close will be shocked by it."

Cao Gangchuan's expression on the side was equally serious, although the data monitored at the test site had already confirmed to them the power of YJ-21H, or metal hydrogen explosives, but the shock brought by the data on paper and aerial images was still far less than what they had seen with their own eyes at the moment.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to gauge the depth of the crater, and then said:

"Judging by this crater, the data collected before is indeed not water."

"It's a pity that the number is too small, only two shots."

Hearing his words, Luan Yijun shook his head helplessly and replied:

"So, that's the biggest problem."

"For metallic hydrogen bombs to form a deterrent, they must be established on the premise that the number is within a certain threshold."

"Too much is not good, if there are too many, it will directly become a nuclear weapon category."

"But too little, not enough to be a deterrent."

"This deterrent is still too fragile. In the future, the greatest pressure may still be on domestic technicians and intelligence personnel. ”

"How to expose the 'just right' production capacity, it is estimated that they need to work hard."

"Indeed."

Cao Gangchuan nodded thoughtfully.

In the past, he could say that he had more exchanges with technical personnel than he had combined in the decades he had been in the army, and through these exchanges, he gradually understood that the future battlefield may no longer be a battlefield where tactics are paramount.

In other words, it is true that tactics are supreme, but technology will become the base of tactics, and if tactics and technology cannot be integrated, they will inevitably fall into passivity on the battlefield.

At the same time, the key to determining victory or defeat is no longer the battlefield itself, and the old saying "a soldier who surrenders without a fight" has developed more and more into the truth.

And the real clash of gunfire will only occur in the punishment war between the big countries against the small countries, and the melee between the small countries.

——

However, this certainly does not mean that they do not need to do anything.

In fact, the most important thing for this fleet at the moment is to achieve actual control of this place.

And to do that, the first thing is:

Plant the flag.

……

More than an hour later, the aircraft carrier gradually approached, the landing craft was lowered, and Cao Gangchuan and Luan Yijun landed on this island for the first time, which had been lost for hundreds of years.

Looking at the fortifications built on the island, Luan Yijun couldn't help laughing:

"Say, shouldn't we thank them now?"

"If it weren't for the roads they built, I guess it wouldn't have been so easy for us to go up the mountain."

Cao Gangchuan sneered and replied:

"It's not something that I repaired myself, I feel disgusting when I step on it, and when the Sky Whale fleet comes over another day, all these things will be shoveled for it."

"You're vindictive."

Luan Yijun ascended the steps step by step, and as the altitude rose, his vision gradually broadened.

After reaching the top, he subconsciously looked left and right and found the direction due east.

"Over there, it's our continent."

"It's a pity that from this angle, you can't see anything at all."

"But I know it's there."

"It's there wherever we go."

Luan Yi exhaled a long breath, and after a long pause, he continued:

"Today, there should be a lot of eyes on this island."

"In ancient times, there was a wolf Juxu, and to this day, should we also plant the flag as the highest pursuit?"

Hearing his words, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Cao Gangchuan's mouth.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then, Luan Yijun took over the flag that had been prepared from the guards on the side.

The sea breeze whistled, and the steel flagpole slammed into the crevices of the rock, splashing a fleeting spark.

Cao Gangchuan took a step back and followed his movements, and all the soldiers present, and even the soldiers on the ship in the distance, all raised their right hands.

Luan Yijun straightened his waist, and in the next second, his right hand suddenly rose upward.

A touch of red bloomed between the clear sea and sky.
