The other side.

Due to the change in the situation in the waters of Chiwei Island, the entire layout of the two sides has been seriously affected.

The penetration of one planned line of defense means that the pressure on the line in other directions increases dramatically.

Moreover, since the investigation of the new type of explosives has not yet been concluded, the other side does not dare to further provoke the situation, because they do not know who will suffer in the end if they continue to "can't wait" to speed up the process of conflict between the two sides as they do now.

There is no doubt that the most anxious about the current situation is naturally Gu Kuanmin, in his opinion, the big brother's approach is to roast Nandao on the fire.

All kinds of preparatory work have been completed, and the atmosphere has been set in place.

And now, it is actually said that there is a temporary suspension of action?

How is this possible?

The arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent, and if it is held hard, it is likely to break the bowstring.

——

However, he could not tell the US side in this case, because the other party's reasons were extremely strong:

The current risk is elevated, which is not in line with the objectives of the previous plan, and once it is expanded, it will not be beneficial to the interests of both parties.

Therefore, Gu Kuanmin can only use his authority as much as possible and desperately try to maintain the current situation.

According to the previous clues, we have summarized three problems that need to be solved urgently."

In the office, You Xijian held a thick stack of documents in his hand, and said in a calm tone:

"First of all, the first question, and the most controversial issue at the moment, is what to do with the fishermen."

"They have been in detention for more than three months, but there has been no substantial progress in the so-called case."

"At this rate of processing, even if it is delayed until next year, there will be no results."

"But the reality is that after the Chiwei Island incident, the people on the other side of the strait have become more and more radical in their views on sea power, and it is very likely that this will become an important excuse."

"My suggestion is that we must release people as soon as possible, stabilize the situation first-—— at least, not let the situation get out of control."

"When I say the situation is out of control, I mean that they are using supercritical means-"

"These means."

"No explanation, I understand."

Before You Xijian could continue, Gu Kuanmin directly interrupted him.

He knew very well in his heart that if this kind of means were really taken, at that time, his own situation would be very passive.

Because, taking advantage of this window period, the other party will get their "phased benefits", and the role of the foreshadowing done by the other side in the early stage will be weakened to the limit.

Want to motivate them to do it again?

It's hard.

Therefore, You Xijian's strategy can be said to be a last resort at present, and only to moderately release some weak signals to maintain the current situation.

It's a time difference.

Gu Kuanmin let out a long sigh and said:

"These mainland boys are really geniuses who catch timing, this time point is too accurate, you can't admire it."

"Forget it, at this point, just throw in the towel."

"Tomorrow it will be announced to the public that the fishermen and fishing boats will be released."

"However, it needs to be escorted by our security ship to the middle line for handover."

Gu Kuanmin played a little clever, he tried to use such a move to re-establish the consensus of the "middle line".

You Xijian naturally understood his thoughts, but he also felt harmless, so he didn't say much.

"Now that you've passed this, let's move on to the next question."

"Questions about the Roosevelt."

"Or rather, it's a question of Pickering's visit."

"The two belong to the same plan, Pickering, Jefferson continues to push, but on the Roosevelt, the Corner Tower seems to want to delay."

"The two sides are already starting to disagree, and that's not a good sign."

"And the decision we have to make is, do we want to continue with the Pickering Plan?"

"To be honest, the actual benefits that this plan can bring to us are too few, and they are not at all comparable to the previous arms sales contracts."

"My suggestion is that it is better to stop it from now on, while it is still too late."

"Absolutely not."

Gu Kuanmin shook his head resolutely, and You Xijian was not surprised at all by his reaction.

In the eyes of this old man, the so-called "political resources" are everything, and the composition of political resources is closely related to the so-called popularity, public opinion, and public opinion support.

So, how could he let go of this great opportunity? ——

The reason why You Xijian wanted to bring it up was just to try his luck and try to convince the other party.

"Then at least we can turn off the transponder and let them land quietly."

"Then there would be no point in their visit."

Gu Kuanmin shook his head again, and said to You Xijian in a relieved tone:

"Don't worry, in this matter, we have done many foreshadowing and testing before, but the other party's performance is relatively not intense."

"Rather than worrying about the visit itself, it's better to worry about the Roosevelt. If they don't want to come as planned, we're under a lot of pressure. ”

"Therefore, we must not only mention this matter, but also take it as the main task in the near future, take full action, and force the corner tower to cooperate."

"Only then can we be completely tied up."

"Only in this way can our safety be guaranteed to the greatest extent."

"It sounds risky, but trust me, it's the only right thing to do"

You Xijian frowned, he wanted to speak several times, but finally swallowed the words.

Since he can't be persuaded to do so, he can only fully support him, and one road will go to the dark.

"Let's talk about the third question. Questions about rumored fourth-generation nuclear weapons. ”

"We have received shared information, and this time the new weapons used over there are confirmed to belong to the fourth generation of nuclear weapons, that is, metal hydrogen weapons."

"It's a generational progress, and we have to be prepared for it."

"Whether it's the military, industrial or social environment, there is the potential for significant changes in the short term."

"I want to talk to you"

"You don't have to report to me, just talk to the institute."

Gu Kuanmin interrupted You Xijian and then continued:

"I don't have the energy to care too far now, and according to the plan, in three days, it will be time for Pickering to take off."

"I have to check all the details with them to make sure everything is safe."

Looking at Gu Kuanmin's expression, You Xijian shook his head helplessly.

He didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings, he only felt that the direction of this old man seemed to have gone completely astray.

A few hours later, a message was announced.

The content of the news is not much, and the time of release is extremely underworld, but it still can't stop the people who are concerned about this matter, and they reprinted the news on the Internet as soon as possible.

“…… The detained fishermen will be released, and all fishermen will be acquitted. ”

"It is understood that after months of investigation and evidence collection, the group of fishermen did not carry out espionage operations, and according to the high court's verdict, the case was not accepted and the suspect was released in court."

"Out of humanitarian considerations, the South Island side will compensate the detained fishermen for economic losses of 300,000 yuan, and will arrange boats to escort the fishing boats out of the South Island waters."

As soon as the news came out, even in the middle of the night, the traffic of the forum exploded.

The discussions are constantly refreshing, and to sum up, the core idea of netizens is one:

National defense is the real foundation of diplomacy.

Or else?

Before, every effort was made to no avail.

But I didn't expect that as soon as the Chiwei Island incident happened, the matter was solved directly.

The compensation of 300,000 yuan and escorting to the sea -—— this treatment is also the only one in the past ten years.

"It's good to come back, I've suffered in the past few months, 300,000 is not much, but it's almost there."

"See? Disobedient boys just have to be beaten, if they don't fight, they can't understand things! ”

"Gu Kuanmin is so cowardly? Two shots will blow up, when will they show the Julang-3? ”

"Stop, it's said that the fishing boat has left the port now, is there a live broadcast?"

"Where can I find you a live stream of this thing. You can roughly see the location, and there is indeed a ship accompanying it, which should be the security ship they say. ”

"What about our side? No one to pick it up? ”

"We have a boat to pick it up, it's our own maritime ship-—— grandma's, we have to give them a good shake of majesty, let them know that we are not easy to mess with."

"Then it's better to let the Liaoning ship pick it up directly"

"Stop, it's not the turn of the aircraft carrier to make a move on this little thing."

At the same time, while the Internet was discussing this matter endlessly, on the sea, a "coast guard ship" was sailing on the sea, running at top speed towards the so-called center line.

The task performed by this ship is actually very simple, that is, to wait for the handover two nautical miles outside the center line in advance before the other side reaches the center line, so as to avoid the other side hyping up the so-called "middle line handover" and causing unnecessary trouble.

Of course, they will never put this purpose on the surface, and in the previous communication with the South Island side, their reason was that "our own people must be brought back by ourselves".

It was clear that it was impossible for the two sides to agree on this matter, and so the situation began to turn in a strange direction:

Racing.

Whoever is fast will be able to cross the middle line early.

As a result, both the security ship in the South Island and the coast guard ship had reached their maximum horsepower, the turbines were running at full capacity, and the slightly old hull hit the waves, stirring up waves several meters high.

However, compared to speed, this 051-modified coast guard ship still has a natural advantage.

After all, the large missile boat was not called in vain, and in a certain sea trial that year, it even achieved a maximum speed of 37 knots.

So, the results are also obvious.

When the fishing boat arrived late with the security boat, 051 was already waiting on the surface of the sea.

The captain looked at the pitifully small security ship on the other side with a smile on his face, and the other party's face was as uncomfortable as eating.

——

Of course, it's not just because they lost the race and were crossed over the so-called halfway line.

What's more.

On the side of this 051, they also saw two more ships.

A Class 052D destroyer.

A Red Arrow missile boat.

The two warships were moored behind the "coast guard ship" in such a majestic manner, brazenly unleashing their unique coercion.

The sheriff's expression was a little ugly, and he knew that his plan had failed.

But now, it is impossible for him to turn back and press the fishing boat back.

No matter how aggrieved and disgusting he was, he could only bite the bullet and finish the process.

So, he turned on the radio and shouted to the coast guard ship opposite:

"The fishing boat has been brought in, and all 14 people on board have undergone physical examinations and are in good health."

"At present, there is also one navigator and four security personnel on board."

"After waiting for our personnel to withdraw, the handover can be completed."

With that, he put down the radio and waited quietly for the other party's answer.

It's false to say that you are not nervous-—— what if the other party deliberately finds fault? What if the other party asks you to make an unplanned compromise? What if they just detain a few of their own people on the ship?

After all, those two warships were standing on one side, and their own combat ships were still more than ten nautical miles away.

He waited for more than ten seconds before he heard a reply on the radio.

There are only two simple words:

"Roger."

But it made him breathe a sigh of relief.

He immediately ordered the personnel to start evacuating, and only after the dinghy approached the security boat and the personnel began to board the ship did he completely relax.

At the same time, their own support ships have also arrived.

It's finally over

Although the other party did take advantage of it, it had nothing to do with him.

My task has been completed, and more things are left to those upper-level masters to consider.

Thinking of this, he immediately gave the order to turn around and return to Hong Kong, without even saying a polite "goodbye".

But at the moment when the oars began to rotate again and the security boat began to speed up, the voice of the other party suddenly came to his radio.

"Attention ships ahead."

"Your ship has entered our exercise area, please stop the ship immediately for inspection."

"Repeat, please stop the ship immediately and be inspected."

The captain listened dumbfounded to the radio as he looked up in disbelief at the three ships opposite.

At this moment, there was only one thought left in his heart:

Are you kidding?

We've just released your guys, and you're going to arrest us?!
