The celebratory atmosphere in the audience was broken by the guards' urgent announcement.
He walked quickly to the chief, bent down and whispered a few words in his ear.
The chief's originally relaxed brows were instantly furrowed, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.
He looked around, his eyes sharp as a knife:
"Everyone, go to the central conference room immediately, it's an emergency!"
Ten minutes later, the core leadership of Longguo gathered together.
The chief slammed the intelligence document in his hand heavily onto the conference table, making a dull sound.
The documents fell apart, revealing a few blurry photos of plane wreckage.
There was a flash of silence in the Dragon Kingdom Central Conference Room for a few seconds, and then a burst of noise broke out.
Fang Yu turned away from the window and watched the chief angrily throw the intelligence documents onto the sandalwood conference table, and the papers scattered everywhere.
One satellite photo showed North Vietnamese troops massing toward the Sino-Vietnamese border, while another showed Russian armored forces conducting exercises along the Heilongjiang River.
"Comrade Ho Chi Minh's plane crashed on its way to our country,"
The chief's voice was filled with suppressed anger as he looked around at the top military and political officials who had been urgently summoned.
"Nguyen Van Thieu is inciting the North Vietnamese military and civilians, claiming that we shot down the plane and using this as an excuse to mobilize troops to advance toward our border."
"And the Russian Bear Country, under the pretext of 'assisting our Vietnamese comrades who are suffering from imperialist aggression,' began to put pressure on our northern border."
President Lu quickly flipped through the intelligence documents with a frown on his face.
"According to reports from the front-line border troops, the North Vietnamese army has assembled three divisions, approximately 20,000 men, at the border."
"In addition, our intelligence shows that the fifteen legions of the Bear Country in Siberia and the Far East have also begun to move to the front line."
The Foreign Minister slammed the table.
"This is obviously a trap!"
"Our air defense system just intercepted a missile attack on Comrade Yang Wei, and now Ho Chi Minh's plane crashed. The timing is too coincidental!"
"The question is, how should we respond?" Vice Chairman Lin Hu asked calmly, tapping his fingers on the table. "Diplomatic mediation or military countermeasures?"
The conference room was instantly divided into two factions.
A group led by the Foreign Minister advocates a tough response.
"We must not show weakness! If the North Vietnamese dare to cross the line, we will make them feel the pain!"
"As for the Bear Country, they are just bluffing. Our nuclear test has been successful, and they will never dare to actually start a war!"
Mr. Lu holds a different opinion.
"The most urgent thing is to clarify the facts. We can invite an international investigation team to examine the wreckage of Ho Chi Minh's plane and prove that it was not our fault."
"At the same time, we will make our position clear to North Vietnam through diplomatic channels."
The debate became increasingly heated, and smoke filled the meeting room.
Chief of the General Staff Liu Zhiguo unfolded a detailed map and pointed to the northern border: "If a war really breaks out, we will face a two-front war."
"The Bear Country has a million troops in the north, and the number of armored forces is three times ours."
"Although our combined forces brigade reforms have shown initial success, a full-scale war is still extremely unfavorable to us."
At this moment, Fang Yu stood up and walked to the center of the conference table.
The room gradually became quiet, and everyone's eyes were on him.
In recent years, this young military expert has proposed solutions to problems at critical moments many times.
"Comrades," Fang Yu said in a calm and clear voice, "this incident is by no means accidental; it is a carefully planned conspiracy."
"The missile we intercepted targeting Comrade Yang Wei, according to our analysis, was likely launched from Russia. The location and manner in which Ho Chi Minh's plane crashed do not conform to the characteristics of a typical accident."
He unfolded a report on the table.
"According to our intelligence analysis, a month ago, the Russian envoy Valentin Petrov secretly visited Hanoi and met with North Vietnamese military leader Nguyen Van Thieu."
"And just three days ago, we intercepted an encrypted communication between the United States and the Russian Empire."
"You mean," the chief narrowed his eyes, "that the Eagle Sauce and the Bear Country worked together to plan all this?"
"That's right," Fang Yu nodded firmly. "Their goals are clear: first, to prevent my country from becoming the first country to send a person into space; second, to create a conflict between my country and North Vietnam, providing an excuse for the Bear Country to send troops; third, by attacking China from both the north and the south, forcing my country to consume its national strength in a two-front war, and ultimately achieving their strategic goal of curbing the development of the Dragon Country."
Chairman Zhou Zhihai of the Military Commission pondered for a moment: "This analysis is reasonable. But the question is, since this is a trap they have carefully planned, how should we respond?"
Fang Yu's eyes swept over every leader present.
"I believe we should avoid falling into the enemy's trap and adopt an asymmetric response strategy."
"First, do not interrupt the manned space program. Comrade Yang Wei's mission must continue. This is the most powerful response to the enemy's plot. Second, publish the evidence of our missile interception to expose the conspiracy of the Eagle Sauce and the Bear Country."
“Third, send a special envoy to Hanoi to communicate directly with other North Vietnamese leaders and expose Thieu’s collusion with foreign forces.”
Lin Hu asked in a deep voice: "What if they insist on provoking a war?"
"Then we'll be prepared," Fang Yu replied calmly, "but based on our understanding of the enemy, they hope we'll take the initiative and fall into a strategic dilemma they've designed. If we exercise restraint, their plan won't work."
The conference room fell into a brief silence.
The chief stood up, walked to the map, and examined the situation on the China-Vietnam border and the Longxiong border.
"I agree with Fang Yu's analysis," he finally said, his voice low and powerful. "This is an obvious trap. Comrade Ho Chi Minh has always been a rational leader, and our relations with North Vietnam have been stable in recent years."
"He suddenly sent a plane here. It's very likely that he learned about the conspiracy of the Russian Bear Country and Nguyen Van Thieu and wanted to clarify it to us in person."
"Militarily," added General Liu Zhiguo, chief of the general staff, "we can adopt an active defense posture but avoid cross-border actions."
"In the north, immediately activate the 'Hibernating Bear' plan and deploy new anti-tank weapons and electronic jamming systems in key areas; in the south, the 5th Combined Brigade has been assembled in Kunming and is ready to respond to any emergency."
"Diplomatically," General Lu continued, "I will immediately contact North Vietnamese diplomatic channels that are not yet under Nguyen Van Thieu's control. At the same time, I will release the evidence of our missile interception to the international community to expose this conspiracy."
"We can also request an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. Although it may be vetoed by the US, it can win the support of international public opinion."
The chief's gaze became firm.
"Okay, it's settled. Also, keep this strictly confidential internally and don't cause panic among the people."
"With regard to the Bear State, we remain highly vigilant but refrain from provocation; with regard to North Vietnam, we leave room for a peaceful resolution but are prepared for the worst."
He turned to Fang Yu: "Comrade Yang Wei's mission continues. This is our best response to the enemy."
"Comrade Fang Yu is responsible for coordinating the safety of space missions to ensure that the dangerous situation today does not occur again."
As the meeting drew to a close, the Foreign Minister remained unconvinced: "What if North Vietnam really crosses the border? Are we just going to sit back and do nothing?"
"Of course not," Fang Yu replied calmly, looking at the chief. "We can launch a limited counterattack, but we must control it within the border area to avoid a full-scale war."
"More importantly, we must win over the forces within North Vietnam that oppose Nguyen Van Thieu, especially those leaders who are close to Ho Chi Minh. As far as I know, people like Le Duan and Chen Nifang are opposed to being enemies of the Dragon Kingdom."
The chief nodded with satisfaction.
"Fang Yu is right. When dealing with hostile countries, we must also distinguish the relationship between the hostile regime and the people."
"The North Vietnamese people have a deep friendship with us, which should not be destroyed by an ambitious person like Nguyen Van Thieu."
