Chapter 297 Jiankang Talks
In the spacious yet slightly cramped meeting room of the Anti-Corruption Agency, the atmosphere was so warm that it seemed to ignite the air.
Several high-level hosts who had just rushed back from the front line of scientific research still had fatigue on their faces, but their eyes were full of excitement that could not be concealed.
As soon as they saw the chief host, one of them stepped forward, his voice full of excitement:
"Hey, host, our research and development of mushroom bombs is finally on the right track!
After so long, all the difficulties and obstacles have been overcome by our researchers, and now everything is going smoothly!"
A staff officer with a resolute face and a resolute look in his eyes added solemnly:
“Indeed, Chief Moderator.
As long as we have mushroom bombs, even if we clearly promise not to use them first, this powerful deterrent force is enough to scare potential enemies.
They are just like those who are afraid of the consequences of their actions. They definitely don't dare to attack us easily.
This mushroom bomb will definitely be the most solid backing for our country's peaceful development in the future!"
The chief host sat there, listening to everyone talking, but did not speak immediately.
He slowly raised his hand, picked up a cigarette from the table, lit it lightly with a "click", took a deep breath, and the slowly exhaled smoke slowly diffused in the air.
At this moment, his eyes were very deep, as if he could see through the smoke and penetrate the boundaries of time and space. I wonder how far and how big something he was thinking about.
After a while, the host flicked his cigarette into the ashtray and spoke slowly and calmly:
“I understand what everyone is saying, but we have to face reality.
The development of mushroom bombs is just the first step in a long journey.
The challenges that follow come one after another. First, we have to accurately verify its effectiveness, and then we have to find an appropriate way to demonstrate our strength to the international community.
All of this depends on a successful test explosion."
The host paused, looked around at everyone seriously, and then said:
"We must consider how to ensure the reliability of mushroom bombs.
How can we effectively demonstrate our strength without scaring the international community?
A test explosion must definitely be carried out, but the choice of a test explosion location is a bit troublesome.
The most ideal test site is at sea, but the technical threshold for testing at sea is ridiculously high. With our current naval power, the difficulties in implementing it are countless.
We can't test the explosion in our liberated areas. There are so many people in the liberated areas. If we do it there, innocent people will suffer. We will be scolded for a thousand years and become the sinners of history."
He paused for a moment and continued his analysis in a clear and logical manner:
"After much thought, the desert is a relatively ideal test site, especially the large desert in the northwest.
But there is one thing that cannot be ignored, that is the territory of Jiang Wufa, Gu Shousan and other forces.
Given their position and interests, they will never give up this important piece of land easily."
As soon as the chief host finished speaking, the atmosphere in the originally lively meeting room suddenly became solemn.
All the hosts nodded, agreeing with the chief host's concerns.
After a while, a host took the lead in breaking the silence. He clenched his fists and said in a firm tone:
“Indeed, this is a very tricky issue.
But when have we ever been afraid of difficulties?
The more difficult it is, the more we have to move forward. No matter what, we have to find a way to solve it!"
The other host frowned slightly, lowered his head to think for a moment, then raised his head to make a suggestion:
"Perhaps, we can try to contact Jiang Wufa and see if we can discuss this matter..."
"After all, judging from the recent intelligence, Jiang Wufa shows signs of slowly distancing himself from Omanrek and the Japanese pirates.
I thought this might be a good opportunity to start negotiations with him.
Of course, we also have to prepare for the worst.
If this negotiation ends in nothing, then we can only decisively prepare for battle."
As soon as the words fell, someone immediately raised an objection, and this person's expression was full of worry:
"But Jiang Wufa has always been hostile to us.
He always adhered to the policy of "pacifying the country before fighting foreign enemies" and refused to give in.
Judging from his usual behavior, I'm afraid he won't give in easily on this matter.
In my opinion, using force directly and forcing him to the negotiation table with our strength may be a more direct and effective method. "
"I agree."
Another host added, looking serious and determined,
"The northwest is extremely important to our country.
This is not only related to whether the mushroom bomb can be successfully tested, but also closely linked to our future strategic layout.
If Jiang Wufa is unwilling to cooperate with us, then we can only rely on force to fight and remove this obstacle for the development of the country."
"but……"
The chief host raised his hand and tapped the table with his knuckles. The steady tapping sound instantly interrupted everyone's argument.
"War has never been our first choice.
It would be ideal if the problem could be solved peacefully and harmoniously.
We must first try to find a possible peaceful solution and show our sincerity and wisdom.
Besides, we haven't developed our mushroom bombs yet, so we still have some time.
But then again, we have to be well prepared in all aspects, and no matter what emergencies occur, we must have enough capabilities to safeguard the country's core interests and security.
I suggested that we send an envoy first to feel out Jiang Wufa’s attitude.
At the same time, we should strengthen our military deployment to be prepared for any eventuality."
The chief host's words were like a beacon, pointing the way for every host present at this time full of controversy and confusion.
After hearing this, everyone felt reassured and felt a strong strength and determination.
The topic then turned to the crucial selection of ambassadors.
The chief host stood up straight, speaking in a powerful voice, with every word ringing like a hammer hitting the ground:
"Regarding this crucial ambassadorial candidate, I recommend the Chief of the General Staff.
Think about it, he and Jiang Wufa had had direct contact many times in the past.
In that complex, ever-changing and treacherous struggle, he went through wind and rain and accumulated a lot of valuable experience.
These experiences, like dazzling treasures, added countless brilliance to his treasure house of wisdom.
His wisdom and courage were fully and beautifully demonstrated in many crucial battles that were life-and-death matters and could determine the outcome of a fight.
He was always able to see through the enemy's conspiracies and plots with his extraordinary wisdom at the critical moment, and lead his soldiers forward with fearless courage to turn the situation around.
With his outstanding abilities and qualities, he is the perfect choice for this important position!"
In the conference room, everyone sat around in silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
As soon as the chief host finished speaking, all the hosts nodded sincerely as if they were drawn by the same force, with expressions of approval on their faces.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the originally serious conference room suddenly became warm.
That warm energy was like a blazing flame, rising up rapidly. It was full of affirmation and positive energy, warming up the entire house.
Everyone's expression revealed their undisguised approval of this candidate, as well as their eager anticipation for the subsequent diplomatic mission, with a gleam in their eyes.
In this heat, the Chief of General Staff stood up slowly and calmly, with a dignified manner.
His figure was as straight as a pine tree, standing there proudly and upright, emitting a noble temperament that he had from birth, which made people unable to help but take a few more glances at him.
At this moment, his eyes were deep and firm, like two sharp rays of light, as if they could "swish" through the invisible fog in front of him and accurately reach the core of the problem, making people secretly admire him.
Just by looking at his calm and powerful aura, when he stands there, people can't help but feel a sense of trust in him.
He first cleared his throat gently, the sound was neither loud nor soft, but just right to attract everyone's attention.
Then, he began to speak slowly, his voice naturally revealing an unquestionable majesty and confidence. Every word seemed to carry a heavy weight and was very solemn:
"I sincerely thank the host for giving me this invaluable trust and recommendation.
I know in my heart that the responsibility of this position is heavier than Mount Tai, and the mission I shoulder is even higher than the sky. There is no need to elaborate on how important this is, it has already been deeply engraved in my heart.
Jiang Wufa and I have had many fierce clashes and also had many close collaborations over the years.
Through these interactions, I have come to understand his ways of dealing with people, his methods and style of doing things. I know them all like the back of my hand."
"With the valuable experience I have accumulated in the past, plus my own wisdom and strategy, I am confident that I can fully shoulder this extremely difficult mission.
I am also determined and willing to risk everything to achieve the greatest benefits for our liberated areas."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, his eyes calm and determined, scanning each person present one by one without haste.
That look was like a strong spring breeze. Although it was silent, it carried an invisible power that could shock people. In this quiet air, it secretly conveyed his unswerving and firm determination.
Everyone who met his eyes could truly feel the determination and responsibility for the mission he carried in his heart. In a trance, it was as if they saw a warrior who was about to embark on a journey, resolutely and fearlessly for the sake of his country and people.
"I will definitely use all my strength and devote myself to this mission, and will never let everyone down.
I will plan carefully and make proper arrangements to ensure that this meeting can not only demonstrate our strength and position, but also strike a good balance and achieve a proper balance.
I am willing to devote all my energy and efforts to contribute to the peace and development of the country, and I am willing to sacrifice everything."
The words fell slowly and he nodded gently.
This action may seem simple, but it reveals a high degree of self-affirmation and deep motivation.
As if secretly cheering myself up:
No matter how difficult the road ahead is, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, we must move forward bravely and never look back!
Then, he took steady and powerful steps, one step at a time, and sat back in his seat.
In an instant, the entire conference room seemed to be ignited and erupted into thunderous applause.
The applause was overwhelming and lasting, like a surging wave, one after another, constantly hitting everyone's eardrums.
Every round of applause was full of power, representing everyone's heartfelt recognition and enthusiastic response to the Chief of the General Staff's firm statement.
Everyone's eyes were filled with deep trust in the mission he was about to undertake, as well as eager expectations like waiting for a gentle rain. The applause was like a passionate battle song played for him to go to battle, giving him the strength to move forward courageously.
About two months passed, during which time we communicated with Jiang Wufa many times.
Jiang Wufa finally agreed to let us send someone over for a meeting.
At that time, Jiang Wufa had moved the capital to Jiankang.
Jiankang is thousands of miles away from our base, and the long journey is full of unknowns and dangers.
Along the way, there is a high possibility of encountering reconnaissance and interception by Japanese pirates and Omanriks, and the situation is extremely serious.
Therefore, every link in the plan is like a part on a precision instrument, which cannot be sloppy in the slightest. It must be carefully calculated and laid out. Any slight mistake may result in a complete failure.
First, in order to cleverly deceive the enemy's eyes and ears, we chose an inconspicuous small village in the liberated area and used it as the starting point for the camouflage operation.
It was announced to the outside world that the Chief of General Staff would hold a military seminar here.
At the same time, an action team carefully disguised as an ordinary caravan was formed quietly.
This caravan is no ordinary one, as each of its members are elites selected from thousands.
There are warriors who are as agile and nimble as cheetahs, who can deal with all kinds of sudden dangers at critical moments;
Experienced guides who are familiar with the surrounding road conditions can easily navigate even the most remote roads;
There are also medical staff with superb medical skills and professional first aid skills who can protect the lives and health of team members in emergency situations.
They were dressed in plain casual clothes like ordinary people, without any special features.
The trucks and carriages they drove were also unremarkable in appearance, just like the common transport vehicles seen on country roads.
However, the interiors of these seemingly ordinary vehicles hold hidden mysteries.
As the night quietly spread like thick ink, the surroundings were enveloped in silence.
The whole world seemed to have fallen asleep, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the silence.
Under the strict protection of an elite team, the Chief of General Staff arrived at this seemingly ordinary village quietly like a silent shadow.
He moved carefully, without making any sound, as if he had blended into the night.
Afterwards, he boarded the carriage disguised as a caravan even more cautiously.
The whole process was like a breeze blowing gently across the lake, without causing any ripples or making any sound, as if he was already a part of the dark night and no one noticed.
In order to further confuse the enemy's sight, the caravan was filled with a wide variety of goods.
These goods seem ordinary and are common items in life.
There are tea leaves emitting a subtle and refreshing aroma, and the fresh fragrance permeates the air; there are also colorful and exquisitely patterned cloths, which shimmer with a soft luster under the dim light.
At various checkpoints along the way, these common goods were enough to make inspectors relax their vigilance, and the core secrets that truly concerned the safe transfer of the Chief of the General Staff were hidden among them without a trace, unknown to outsiders.
The caravan's route was the result of repeated considerations and careful planning.
They deliberately avoided the main roads that were wide and flat and could easily expose their whereabouts, as well as key points where the enemy might set up heavy defenses.
Instead, they chose many remote trails that are rarely visited and deep, quiet hidden valleys.
The caravan shuttled through these winding paths, just like nimble fish swimming freely and flexibly among the water plants.
Whenever passing an area that may be under surveillance, the team will quickly change their equipment and flexibly adjust their route.
In this way, no clues will be left for tracking, making the enemy who tries to track it like a headless fly with no trace to follow.
At the same time, we made full use of the huge and secret underground intelligence network to accurately grasp the enemy's patrol routes and detailed information on checkpoints in advance.
Based on this information, the caravan itinerary was cleverly planned to avoid dangerous areas as much as possible to ensure that the operation was foolproof.
As the distance to Jiankang gradually shortened, the caravan naturally integrated into the bustling and lively local trade.
In the ocean of people and goods, they are like a drop of water blending into the sea, with no sense of incongruity.
Finally, at a secret rendezvous location carefully arranged in advance, the Chief of General Staff was safely and smoothly handed over to the trusted troops sent by Jiang Wufa to greet him.
The whole process was smooth and there were no mistakes.
After the Chief of General Staff arrived in Jiankang safely, he immediately met with Jiang Wufa.
When the two met, they first exchanged a few simple greetings and talked about the journey and the situation in Jiankang.
After a few casual words, they immediately started discussing the next strategic deployment.
