Chapter 3097 Not a single sail can go to sea
"Comrade Li Shengli, this mission is entrusted to you!"
"Bring everyone back while completing the mission."
In the office, Li Shengli looked at Yang Xiaotao, who had a serious expression and a solemn face, and felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart.
The nine personnel who went to West Germany this time included technical staff, field staff, and security personnel.
The technical team has the most members, a total of sixteen!
Led by Liu Yongqiang, the team was mainly responsible for the construction of the paging station and the training of local personnel.
The matter is relatively simple.
Secondly, the security team consists of ten people, led by a security officer from the security department.
Finally, there's the field team, but there are only five people.
He is not only responsible for the affairs of the field team, but also for the entire team, ensuring the safety of personnel and the completion of tasks.
The responsibility is enormous.
Fortunately, this only included personnel from their nine departments; there were also personnel from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.
There is strength in numbers, and we can stick together and support each other even in a foreign land!
"Mr. Yang, I understand!"
Li Shengli spoke solemnly, showing no sign of backing down.
A long time ago, when I was working in foreign trade, I was busy abroad almost year-round, and I even had to ask permission to return to China.
Things are much better now than before.
Of course, wherever you go, you are serving the people.
"However, I'd like to add one more person!"
Li Shengli still voiced his request, and Yang Xiaotao immediately smiled and said, "I know, Captain Shan, right?"
Li Shengli laughed and said, "Yes, I get along well with Lao Dan, and Lao Dan has lived abroad, so he's very alert!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then solemnly added, "This trip is different from the past."
"This trip not only represents our image, but we also need to be extremely careful!"
"You're aware of the current international situation. Our current development will inevitably arouse envy among some people!"
“Some people just can’t stand to see others do well, and they wish they could trip them up or stab them in the back.”
You need to be mentally prepared for this!
Li Shengli nodded, "President Yang, I understand!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded again, then smiled and said, "But don't be too nervous. We're going to help out this time. The Federal Republic of Germany will definitely take good care of you. Just be vigilant about your safety!"
At this point, Li Shengli laughed along, "I've thought about this too. If something goes wrong again this time, the Federal Republic of Germany will probably lose all face."
However, the tragedy that occurred during the last Olympics cast a shadow over the entire West Germany.
If this causes another disturbance, then the capabilities of the Federal Republic of Germany will truly be questioned.
Although they were joking around, they both knew in their hearts that their lives were their own. If they lost their lives, why would they care about other people's shame?
The two talked for a while before leaving the office together.
When they arrived at the Ninth Department's main conference room, the room was already full of people.
Old Zhao was sitting on the platform, chatting with Li Hongfeng beside him.
Below, Shi Qingsong sat upright to one side with the people from the Security Department. These people were all carefully selected from the Security Department, including two special forces members, Mu Tou and Cha Xiao.
The other half of the group consisted of people from the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry. They were also divided into two teams: a technical team and a security team.
Yang Xiaotao came in, and the sounds in the room immediately ceased, leaving only silence.
"President Yang!"
Old Zhao stood up and looked at Yang Xiaotao.
"Director Zhao, this is Comrade Li Shengli. He has worked abroad, speaks multiple languages, and is also our team leader this time!"
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and shook hands with Zhao Lao, then introduced Li Shengli to Zhao Lao.
From Yang Xiaotao's address, Zhao Lao understood that Yang Xiaotao had placed this matter under the research lab and was pushing it forward in the name of the research lab.
Having worked for so many years, Mr. Zhao is very experienced. The people he has met and the things he has experienced are so numerous that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he has been through a lot in the political arena.
Yang Xiaotao understood the advantages of making such an arrangement.
The point is to tell those with ulterior motives that this is a high-tech industry, and if you don't understand it, don't talk nonsense.
I said I would take responsibility.
Old Zhao looked at Li Shengli, shook hands with him, and said with a smile, "Manager Li, I know!"
"Great Wall Motors, that's a name that's famous even overseas!"
"With you here, I feel much more at ease!"
"You have no idea, these good-for-nothing henchmen are a real headache! You'll have to keep an eye on them!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shengli quickly smiled and said, "Leader, you're too kind. We're all comrades, helping each other is only natural!"
Yang Xiaotao interrupted from the side, "Director Zhao, let's start the meeting!"
Old Zhao nodded, and then immediately walked to the podium.
Yang Xiaotao greeted Li Hongfeng, and then the meeting began.
While Yang Xiaotao was having a meeting, General Peng was in his office looking at a telegram coming from the south.
The more I looked, the deeper the wrinkles on my brow became.
Only after reading the last word did General Peng put down the telegram, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.
He didn't know much about the navy, but he wasn't completely ignorant either.
"Something's not right with this battle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, General Peng immediately found the telegrams he had received earlier and looked at them one by one.
The Weiqing was launched at the end of January.
To allow for a period of adjustment, we didn't go directly to the south.
Therefore, the entire fleet did not travel very fast on its southward journey, and even deliberately slowed down when passing through the strait.
The intention behind this is obvious even to a fool: to kill two birds with one stone, to do something on the side.
But they didn't even look at how many white horses were flying overhead. They were all carrying missiles. Would those ships dare to come out?
After his obvious attempts to entice them failed, he finally made his way to the Yue Prefecture.
It was already February.
They rested for two more days in Yuefu before continuing south.
Then came the occasional "good news".
Today it's a gunboat, tomorrow a destroyer, and the day after tomorrow even patrol boats on inland waterways.
Finally, they even included speedboats.
The key point is that the weight is marked on the back of the inflatable boat.
What is this doing?
Should we remind him of the results of this battle?
Or were they afraid they would miss out on their achievements?
Or…
Are these guys starting to get crooked ideas in order to get credit?
Falsely reporting military achievements?
As soon as those four words appeared, Mr. Peng immediately shook his head.
He knew exactly what his own soldiers were like.
I can't do such messy things, and I wouldn't dare to do them at all.
But why is that?
When the plan was initially formulated, it was merely meant to warn and punish the other party, to prevent them from having any inappropriate thoughts.
It also carries the meaning of "killing the chicken to scare the monkey".
Kill the chicken in the south, and scare the monkey in the north.
However, it was just a punishment; it didn't mean to completely destroy the other party.
Moreover, their original intention was to maintain a situation of mutual restraint, at least in the next few years, to prevent a one-sided situation.
Otherwise, that monkey in the north wouldn't even know its own limitations.
But right now...
These unruly kids, once let loose, have absolutely no sense of restraint.
Mr. Peng rubbed his temples, feeling puzzled.
The key question is, if things continue like this, will the other side still have any ships left to launch?
Looking at the final report, I guess the next report will be about fishing boats.
Peng thought it was actually quite possible.
As for our own losses, they were not significant, with only two gunboats sinking.
Then there's the ammunition. Putting everything else aside, the consumption of the upstream No. 1 and No. 2 missiles alone will keep the factory busy for a while.
"These guys must be going crazy from holding back their emotions!"
In the end, Mr. Peng still couldn't figure out what was going on, so he could only use the last reason, which he thought was the most appropriate, to convince himself.
Just as Mr. Peng was about to get up and stretch, there was a knock on the door, and Mr. Peng invited him in.
Then they saw that there was another person following behind the adjutant.
Wang Lao from the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry.
Then Mr. Peng had a headache.
"Peng, are you done with your work?"
Old Wang walked in carrying two bags of pastries, while his adjutant behind him wore a bitter expression.
This guy came straight for Boss Peng. I tried to stop him for a while, and even told him that Boss Peng was busy and that he should come back later. But he just stayed there and wouldn't leave.
Seeing his adjutant's reaction, General Peng waved his hand, and the adjutant quickly turned and left, closing the door behind him.
"Old Wang, you've brought gifts here, it can't be anything good, can it?"
General Peng took the initiative. After he finished speaking, Old Wang hurriedly placed the snacks on the table and then said with a smile, "Old Chief, I haven't been here for a long time. I missed you, so I came to see you."
“I know you’re always so busy, I only came after making a few phone calls to make sure you were here.”
"Old comrade, please try this pastry. I bought it specially from the supply and marketing cooperative; it's the unsweetened kind."
As Old Wang continued talking to himself, he didn't forget to open the paper package and take out the pastries inside. "Old Chief, please have some."
As Mr. Peng was repeatedly addressed as "Old Chief" by Mr. Wang, he was lost in memories. He sighed, took a pastry, took a bite, and then pointed to a chair, asking Mr. Wang to sit down.
"Not bad, the taste is quite good."
"But you're the first person to come here with gifts."
Old Wang chuckled again, as if he were deeply honored.
After finishing a piece of pastry, Mr. Peng picked up his water glass, took a sip, and then looked at Old Wang. "Tell me, Wang the Scoundrel, what kind of trick are you up to this time?"
Old Wang didn't mind Peng calling him by his nickname; on the contrary, it made him feel quite close to him.
"Mr. Peng, I don't have anything else to say, that's all."
As he spoke, Old Wang took out a list from his pocket. "This is the number of missiles we've used recently. Could you see if we can reimburse us?"
After saying this, President Peng smirked.
He thought to himself, "Just as I suspected, this guy is here to collect a debt."
After taking a look at the list, I saw that it included not only the Shangyou series missiles but also the Jinglei series anti-aircraft missiles.
Clearly, the other side is including all the missiles they have sent in this count.
However, this cannot be blamed on the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry, as they were responsible for producing missiles, but missiles are extremely expensive.
"Old Wang, let's submit the reimbursement report all at once after the battle is over. That way it'll be easier to calculate."
Mr. Peng plans to delay, after all, he has to be careful about taking out so much money.
Especially since this year has just begun, we will have to rely on the money in this fund as reserves for the future.
Upon hearing this, Old Wang's face fell, and he looked aggrieved. "Old Chief, we really can't afford to eat."
"You don't know, this time we sent all the upstream missiles stored in the south. We don't know what these guys are doing, they keep urging the supply ship to come over every few days, saying that they don't have enough."
"I realized this wouldn't do. If we ran out of backup ammunition, things would be dangerous, so we started working overtime."
"Old Chief."
“Our workers have been working non-stop for over a month, and the machines in the workshop are almost worn out.”
"Old sir, if you don't believe me, I'll take you to the workshop to see for yourself. I guarantee it."
"Alright, alright."
Peng interrupted Wang Lao's narration, glanced at the data listed on the list, and then took a deep breath and said, "I'll give you half first, and settle the rest in total."
After listening, Old Wang hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
"Okay, half is fine too. That way I can report back to my superiors."
Old Wang laughed after he finished speaking; he had finally seen some money.
No need to worry about being renege on your debts.
"Hey Wang Laipi, what's with that expression? Do you think I'd leave your money behind?"
Seeing the change in Old Wang's expression, President Peng instantly understood what he was thinking, and asked indignantly.
"No, no, no."
Old Wang was startled and quickly explained, "Old Chief, I didn't mean anything by that."
"That's just how I am, I'm used to being poor, and I panic when I don't have any food in my hands."
"real."
"Of course, if I had the formidable strength of the Ninth Division, these missiles would be nothing more than support, let alone a one-for-two or even one-for-three exchange."
Old Wang spoke with conviction, but General Peng heard something different in his voice.
After Old Wang finished speaking, Boss Peng squinted at him, sensing that the guy definitely knew something.
At this moment, Old Wang suddenly realized that he might have said something wrong.
Bitter.
"Wang the Scoundrel."
Mr. Peng picked up his enamel mug, his voice cold and detached, "Tell me, what does 'one for two' mean?"
Old Wang's face twitched, and he regretted it even more, thinking that he should not have come today.
At the same time, in the waters surrounding Nan'an.
Zhang Kangzhan looked at the telegrams coming from the various gunboats below with a strange expression.
"Old Liu!"
Turning to look at the first mate, who saw the telegram in his hand, he quickly looked to the side and said indifferently, "Don't come to me with this. You tell your superiors yourself!"
Seeing that the other party was ignoring him, Zhang Kangzhan then looked at his chief of staff, Li Bing, who was standing to the side.
"Old Li"
"Old Zhang, you should submit this report to your superiors."
Li Bing quickly said, "I've already annoyed them by reporting the losses to my superiors. You should handle this kind of thing."
Zhang Kangzhan held the telegram in his hand, took a deep breath, and was about to press it down and ignore it.
Even a mosquito's leg is still meat.
Even a small sampan has weight to it.
According to the rules, you get double the money for every number you sink.
This is also a matter of accumulating little by little, like building a tower from grains of sand.
Well, these are all the comrades' good intentions, we can't ignore them.
With this in mind, Zhang Kangzhan decided to report the results of the battle to the rear in his own name.
"Officer Wang."
Zhang Kangzhan's expression was serious. Staff Officer Wang, who was in charge of communications, immediately came to his side, and then Zhang Kangzhan said, "Report to Shanghai: Our unit destroyed sixteen sampans today, with a total tonnage of..."
Zhang Kangzhan didn't know how to calculate it, so he looked at his first mate, Lao Liu, who scratched his head and said, "This is impossible to calculate."
After all, these sampans are all wooden boats. Although they have been modified to include torpedo launchers on the outside, it doesn't change their fundamental nature.
How is this tonnage calculated?
"How about we calculate it as a torpedo boat?"
Chief of Staff Li Bing said, "After all, they also have weapons."
Zhang Kangzhan immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, that's how it should be done."
"Record: Our unit destroyed sixteen torpedo boats, with a total tonnage of sixteen tons."
Staff Officer Wang smirked. This figure of sixteen tons was far too ridiculous.
Even their own knife-fish speedboats are 30 tons! To call this thing a torpedo boat is to tarnish the very name of a torpedo boat.
However, considering the other party's current 'miserable state,' this is probably the last resort.
At this rate, it won't be long before the other side has any ships left to sail.
"Send it out immediately."
"Yes!"
Staff Officer Wang turned around quickly, feeling quite satisfied with the current situation.
Since the other party dares to provoke, they must bear the consequences of that provocation.
Nowadays, they are no longer the kind of people who can be bullied by just anyone opening their boat at their door.
These days, if someone wants to bully you, you should be prepared to be bullied in return!
