I just want to deliver express, but you insist on recruiting me?

Chapter 147 If the enemy can go, I can go too
[You don't know either? I know. Stay alert.]

[It's impossible that there is no movement. Headquarters has determined that the problem lies with 254. Yes, expand the scope. ]

[The commander ordered us to fly with the RC135, not leaving its side. No matter what we are looking for, the most important thing is what the RC135 is looking for.]

[Ah? There's no way to contact the General Staff? Yes, we understand, and we will find out the reason as soon as possible.]

【…】

Ten minutes passed.

The lines at each seat in the joint command room were busy but orderly.

The incoming and outgoing information filled the channels, and the hall was extremely noisy.

Normally, each seat is staffed with four to five intelligence officers.

Available today.

The number had increased to seven, almost the wartime standard.

On the rostrum, Lin Xiao stood with his hands on his hips and looked up at the electronic situation map. He had not spoken for nearly ten minutes.

His brain is like a finely tuned machine.

All the information that had appeared was arranged again and again according to Lin Xiao's own logic, resulting in countless combinations.

He plugged these combinations into the situation diagram one by one and got negative answers for all of them.

finally.

He set his sights on Yongji Island.

"chief of staff!"

"To!"

"What's the situation on Yongji Island?"

The chief of staff immediately walked quickly to the situation map and explained it in detail.

"There is currently a squadron of four J4s stationed on Yongji Island. The main mission of this station is to assist in the expansion of surrounding islands, so its combat attributes are not strong. What does the commander mean...?"

"I intuitively think that the problem lies here." Lin Xiao pointed at Yongji Island with an extremely determined look.

He went over it in his mind a thousand times.

The tracks of both our own and enemy units weave out countless web-like maps.

But no matter which one it is, it cannot escape Yongji Island.

"The planes coming from the east are flying diagonally, the planes coming from the north are flying straight, and the enemy ships entrenched nearby are circling 200 kilometers to the north. If there is a problem, it is here."

Finished saying this.

The intelligence officer suddenly stood up: "Report! New situation!"

"speak!"

[The receiving detachment reported that the reconnaissance satellite detected that the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group ended its ocean cruise ahead of schedule and was heading towards the Bashi Channel.]

[According to preliminary assessment, the fleet includes a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser, and two Burke-class destroyers.]

"Interesting!" Lin Xiao's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Commander, their intention to implement the blockade is very clear. They want to close the gate tightly."

"Yes, it means they are panicking."

When Lin Xiao heard the news that the battle group had changed direction, his first reaction was not worry, but excitement.

"The enemy, like us, has no idea what's going on here."

"You can tell from the configuration they deployed."

"All units near the core area are mainly for reconnaissance."

"The Reagan came here just to keep up appearances, because they don't know how big the threat is here."

"They don't even know the exact location, otherwise the blockade should not be to the Bashi Channel, but to the Balintang Channel."

"But I gradually understood that the problem must be on Yongji Island."

Chief of Staff: "I will go and confirm it myself immediately..."

Not necessarily.

Intelligence: [Reporting to the Chief, according to the notification from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, five minutes ago, the U country condemned us, saying that conducting aircraft experiments near Yongji Island is a great provocation to regional security, and asked us to stop all actions immediately, otherwise they will send forces to intervene.]

[At the same time, Country F also sent a protest through diplomatic channels, with the same tone as Country U, and stated that they would protect their interests in the region at all costs. ]

"Haha, I'll give him ten guts to do that." Lin Xiao tapped the table lightly, his mouth curled up even more. "Basically confirmed."

The chief of staff nodded: "Yes, the commander's judgment is correct. It can be determined that the problem lies on Yongji Island. But I can guarantee that there are no military tests on Yongji Island."

Lin Xiao did not question it.

He was well aware of the dangers of conducting military tests in such a sensitive place.

The Chief of Staff must have known about it.

It is impossible not to report it.

"I guess there's something wrong with their system."

Chief of Staff: “What should we do?”

"Entertain me." Lin Xiao suddenly stood up. "I order."

"The Southern Fleet has entered combat mode."

"The closest 055 and 052 entered the Bashi Channel first."

"Air Police 500 formation takes off and establishes forward command. Mission: monitor the enemy invading from the north."

"In the south, three batches of fighter jets took off from Yonglin Island Base. Mission: drive away the RC135 that was conducting reconnaissance."

"Whatever they want to see, I'm not going to let them see it now."

The order has just been given.

The intelligence seat stood up again, and the headquarters intelligence officer reported loudly.

[Two minutes ago, 815 obtained enemy communication intelligence. In many exchanges between F and U, words such as Yongji Island and UFO were mentioned, but the channel monitoring is not clear. We are deepening the monitoring.]

"The channel is not clear, but it is gradually becoming clearer to me."

Lin Xiao took two quick steps.

Came to the situation map.

"Chief of Staff, please take a look. Our initial assessment is correct."

"They got information from somewhere saying we were conducting experiments at this location."

"And it was a UFO. It panicked them all of a sudden."

The chief of staff nodded. "Yes, they have to die on this unknown matter. They are afraid that we will suddenly launch missiles on Yongji Island or something."

"Yes, so the reconnaissance plane took off frantically and the Reagan suddenly turned."

"But the problem is, we only have one squadron on Yongji Island, and we really don't have any high-risk weapons."

"I know. I guess the Joint Chiefs of Staff are also confused, otherwise the investigation report would have been sent to us a long time ago."

At this moment, Lin Xiao's mind was unusually clear.

He didn't care what happened on Yongji Island.

The sea is in chaos now.

His mission is to suppress the sea.

"The air force should not only be careless, the problem lies on the sea, but the crux must be in the sky. Inform the Jinling War Zone and provide as much assistance as possible. I judge that there will be more enemy fighters taking off from the north. Ask them to find a way to suppress the subsequent take-off planes to the north of the strait, and we will handle the rest."

Intelligence: "Report, the Joint Chiefs of Staff called."

"catch!"

at last.

Since the change occurred.

This was the first time Lin Xiao received an order from his superiors.

He was no longer so eager at this point.

Because he had a clear idea in his mind, the situation on the battlefield was almost under control.

I think by this time, the higher-ups have also made a clear judgment of the situation.

next second.

The image of the joint command center appeared on the screen, and the face of a middle-aged man caught Lin Xiao off guard.

"Director Sun? Hey! Why are you contacting the headquarters?"

Lin Xiao was completely stunned.

He and Sun Changxing were not very familiar with each other, and if they had any connection, it was only from previous projects. But he knew that Sun Changxing was a civilian, and a second-tier civilian.

He appeared on the wartime communication channel, and Lin Xiao scratched his head but couldn't figure it out.

Sun Changxing on the screen was full of guilt: "Commander Lin, now is not the time to talk about this."

"Does Yongji Island have anything to do with you?"

"Yes... my unit has a small project being tested on Yongji Island."

"That's not right. Our war zone has not received any notification."

"Because it was a small project, we didn't report it. We thought it wasn't a big problem."

"It's not a big problem. My jurisdiction is in chaos. Country U is looking for something in the sky, Country F is looking for something in the sky, and we are looking for something ourselves."

"I just found out about this too. I'm so sorry."

"I'm sorry, but what do we need the police station for? What's going on?"

"It's like this. The Third Department of Demonstration has a military-civilian integration project, which is being tested on Yongji Island."

The more Lin Xiao listened, the more confused he became: "Military-civilian integration? The Reagan was scared to death. You are talking about military-civilian integration. What the hell are you integrating on Yongji Island... Wait a minute, isn't it that reckless man Chen Chen?"

Talking and talking.

Lin Xiao's mind suddenly became clear.

Demonstrate three points, military-civilian integration...

He unconsciously thought of Chen Chen.

“Yes, they are testing drones on Yongji Island.”

"No, what kind of drone can scare the other side like this..."

Lin Xiao didn't finish his words.

The camera on the screen suddenly switched.

An old man in military uniform appears on the screen.

"Lin Xiao, stop asking questions."

"Yes!" Lin Xiao immediately stood up and saluted.

"The order has been issued. No matter what happens on Yongji Island, your department must ensure the safety of the Yongji Island experimental team and the project."

"understand!"

"As for the situation on the sea, I will now hand over the command to you. If the other side makes any provocative moves, you are allowed to take all countermeasures. I will notify the neighboring war zones separately, and they will cooperate. You will take the lead this time."

"Make sure to complete the mission."

The screen turns off.

Lin Xiao suddenly felt enlightened.

reasonable.

Everything makes sense.

Whenever Chen Chen's name appears, no matter how outrageous the matter is, it will seem reasonable.

After checking, the Chief of Staff came to Lin Xiao with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Commander, it is true. SF Group, Chendun Technology, and Deputy Director Zhang of the Third Argumentation Department have indeed taken action."

“But according to previous notifications, this time it was just a project to cooperate with private enterprises.”

"The project is about the promotion of new aircraft, with strategic publicity as the main component."

"Can a publicity campaign create such a big splash?"

The chief of staff was puzzled.

The reason why the war zone was in a blind spot before.

Because this event is really not worth mentioning.

The General Assembly reported it according to routine ground activities, and it didn't even reach the war zone level.

But Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head: "You don't know this kid Chen Chen, he and I are old friends."

"Let's be honest, he was just testing a plane. He wouldn't dare to challenge the Reagan battle group, right?"

"It's hard to say." Lin Xiao smiled. "Fortunately, he is working on an airplane. If he were given a missile project, do you believe he would dare to shoot a falling chicken?"

The Chief of Staff and Lin Xiao looked at each other.

Obviously don't believe it.

Because he doesn't understand Chen Chen.

But Lin Xiao knew it too well.

If there is anyone in the country who is more hawkish than him, Chen Chen is definitely one of them.

Now that things have come to this, there is nothing more to say.

"You've heard the commander's orders. No matter how big a mess Chen Chen makes, I have to clean up his mess for him."

"Intelligence section! Are there any new developments in the U country?"

[Report to the Chief, the U country is currently conducting large-scale reconnaissance in the east and north directions, with three batches of 15 aircraft taking off, including electronic warfare aircraft, reconnaissance drones and fighter jets.

[At the same time, the overhead photos of the ocean reconnaissance satellite showed that the Reagan aircraft carrier battle group was approaching the Bashi Channel at a speed of 28 knots, and a large number of carrier-based aircraft on its deck had been completed. ]

"Gah, throwing a plane into the sky is useless. They still haven't found the plane. What about Country F? What's going on?"

[Our electronic reconnaissance means have completely penetrated the enemy's front line. Country F only captured a short signal of an aircraft taking off from Yongji Island, and then lost sight of it.]

The chief of staff frowned slightly: "Although the ships of Country F are backward, their radar level is too low, isn't it?"

Lin Xiao thought it made sense: "It's not that they are too bad, it's that Chen Chen is too good. I guess the plane is very undetectable this time. Didn't you see that Eagle Sauce is also confused?"

Intelligence: [Currently, Country F and Country U have reached an alliance and are determined to use this incident to form a deterrent in our waters. Many military ports and ships have set out. After comprehensive judgment, the tactical intention is to take the opportunity to approach the disputed waters. ]

[The U.S. fleet and air force are responsible for searching for our aircraft and interfering with them. We do not rule out the possibility of preparing to open fire.]

"That is to say..."

"These two guys have no clue at all."

"You can't find the plane in the sky, so you're making a fuss on the ground."

Chief of Staff: "The current judgment is that since they don't know the model and tactical level of the aircraft, and the test flight location is in a disputed area, they feel that we will take action against them."

"Especially Country F, which finally got the support of the USS Ronald Reagan."

"I guess they want to take advantage of this opportunity to get some benefits from the stranded warship."

Lin Xiao: "Then it's even more impossible for me to let them succeed. How is the navy preparing?"

Navy Chief: [Reporting to the Commander, the advance ship has approached the blockade position and is expected to occupy a favorable position in five minutes.]

[The aircraft carrier fleet has retracted its formation and is sailing at high speed through the Zhongsha Sea area, 200 nautical miles away from the Strait. ]

"Got it, Air Force Seat."

Air Force Seat: [Wuzhen 11 detected that the enemy's air defense radar in airspace 01 has been turned on. The radar signal has been analyzed. The enemy's equipment model has been determined. The positions of the enemy's various radar models have been sent to you.]

"Got it. We can use electromagnetic suppression. Where are the fighter jets?"

Air Force Commander: [The fighter planes from Yonglin Island and the headquarters have all taken off. The KJ-500 has taken over the frontline air service and has clearly captured the signals of the enemy's first batch of fighter planes taking off. The Air Force Front Command has reported its combat determination.]

"Order! Follow Plan No. 1."

空军席：【明白！两架J16尾随RC135，9号空域威龙07、08转职118号空域待命，作为后备力量随时准备截击。】

[Taishan 02 immediately moved forward, and Red Eagle 07, 09, and 11 followed to escort.]

[Changhe 01 goes to Taishan 02's current airspace to fill in. ]

[Feihong 01 and Feihong 02 drones, advance to area 254/260 for alert, and search for our aircraft.]

Chief of Staff: "Commander, the front line of Yongji Island has been connected."

"Call!"

"Commander Lin, my name is Zhang Mingrui. I have received the order from the Joint Staff. I am very sorry."

Lin Xiao: "We are not talking about that. Upload your aircraft data immediately. I still don't know where your aircraft is after all this time."

next second.

Air Force Seat: [Our aircraft signal has been uploaded and synchronized to all participating troops. ]

Looking at the new unit that appeared on the screen, Lin Xiao was suddenly stunned.

The B22 had already advanced to the heart of Country F's airspace.

"From your position...what exactly is Chen Chen's intention? Bombing Manila?"

Zhang Mingrui's tone was still full of guilt: "I will follow your command. Give me the order."

"It's come to this, there's no turning back. Tell Chen Chen, Kou can go, and so can I. Continue the test flight according to their plan, and leave the periphery to me."
