Bing-bong!!
At the very moment Yalta gave the order, an ear-piercing telephone bell suddenly rang in the office.
Following the direction of the sound, I saw that the source of the bell was Yalta's black phone on his desk!
Upon seeing the source of the sound clearly, Yalta's expression involuntarily changed.
With no time to think, Yalster picked up the phone directly.
After that, Yalta frowned and fell into deep thought.
In other words, the current Baocun now only has two hundred thousand to make up the number and a few tens of thousands of second-rate and inferior fish, with a total population of just over three million!
As for the 30th preparation division of the preparation forces, they were urgently assembled by the preparation forces after the elite troops were transferred from Baocun in advance, and those preparation reserves were urgently mobilized by Baocun at their order!
By then, everything they had so painstakingly built up over the past several decades in Dongzhou would be utterly destroyed!
Similarly, if Baocun and Dongyin Village are lost, no one will be able to check the power of Long Village in Dongzhou from now on!
"Contact all members of the Round Table and hold an emergency Round Table meeting immediately!"
After a long while, Yalster took a deep breath, forcibly pushing the thoughts in his mind aside, and then commanded in a low voice.
... ...
Just half an hour later, in the luxurious Round Table Conference Room, the members of the Round Table from Black Eagle Village and White Eagle Village gathered again.
"F*ck! Damned bastards! They've really gone too far!"
"That's right, they're just being overbearing, as if they think we can't handle them!"
"F*ck you!"
Upon Yalster's explanation of the situation, the group of Round Table members became utterly enraged!
They were far from being fools, and they easily judged the causal relationship among these things.
Just as the crowd became enraged, Yalster's voice rang out again.
"We cannot halt the operations in the desert!"
As Yalster's words fell, a voice immediately rang out.
Following the direction of the sound, I saw that the speaker was Field, a member of the Round Table from the Octopus Tribe who had previously proposed to support Village Octopus.
As Field's words ended, another voice followed closely:
"That's right, our strategic core is the desert right now. We can only restore order once we win the desert. We must not give up on the desert at all!"
Like Field, this time the speaker was still a member of the Round Table from the Octopus Tribe.
Before Yalster and the others could respond, a series of voices rose continuously.
Without exception, all the voices were from members of the Round Table from the Octopus Tribe, and the content was similar to that of Field and his companions. The core idea was only one——we must not give up on the desert or give up our support for Village Octopus!
Hearing the firm voices of one Octopus Tribe Round Table member after another, the remaining Round Table members could not help but furrow their brows.
Compared to the Round Table members of the Octopus Tribe, they were more rational, or more aware of the consequences of losing Baocun.
Yes, the desert is important, but what kind of funds and wealth have they invested in Baocun over the past several decades?
Even for them, the Black Eagle Village and White Eagle Village themselves, if Baocun is gone, their losses will reach an astonishing figure!
Upon contemplating these things, a group of Round Table members instinctively prepared to say something.
However, in the end, the words they were about to say were directly swallowed by them in light of the resolution of the last Round Table meeting.
The only thing left was silence.
Baocun cannot be abandoned, but besides abandonment, what other choices do they have?
They now have all their forces in the desert, and the only force left in the Pacific region is a carrier fleet.
We can't risk using this carrier fleet to help Small Fat Village, can we?
While Small Fat Village may not be a concern on its own, behind Small Fat Village is the Long Village!
They now have three nuclear-powered carriers undergoing repairs!
... ...
At the same time, as the brows of the members of Black Eagle Village and White Eagle Village were furrowed, a figure walked in.
On the other side, in Dongzhou——
Bing-bong!!
In Qian Zhizhong's office, the telephone on his desk suddenly rang.
Qian Zhizhong, who was busy with official business, subconsciously glanced at the phone next to him and directly answered it.
"Mr. Qian, the monitoring of the Heaven Pivot System has detected an abnormal situation in the White Elephant Village. There are signs of a large-scale deployment of ballistic missiles. The operational analysis meeting in the Staff Operations Conference Room believes that the White Elephant Village is very likely to use ballistic missiles for a tactical strike against important targets in Small Bar Village!"
After listening to the voice on the phone, Qian Zhizhong's eyes slightly moved.
After a moment's hesitation, Qian Zhizhong directly said: "Contact Small Bar Village and have them prepare themselves... "
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Qian Zhizhong's order, the person on the other end of the phone responded immediately.
The phone call was quickly ended.
Looking at the hung-up phone, Qian Zhizhong thought for a moment before dialing another number.
Before long, the phone was connected, and without waiting for the other side to respond, Qian Zhizhong directly spoke:
"I am Qian Zhizhong!"
"Pass my order, all anti-aircraft radar systems in the southwest region must be fully activated! Monitor any suspicious targets 24/7. Report any suspicious targets immediately upon detection!"
"Under necessary circumstances, the defense system can be directly activated to strike the target!"
With the words spoken, upon receiving a positive response from the other end, Qian Zhizhong directly hung up the phone.
After that, Qian Zhizhong dialed another number again.
Within half an hour, Qiao Zhenhai and Qin Shan and others had already directly arrived in Qian Zhizhong's office.
"Why did you call us over in such a hurry, old money?"
Standing in front of Qian Zhizhong, Qin Shan asked directly.
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhizhong did not hesitate to quickly explain the intelligence he had just received to Qin Shan and the others.
"Are you worried about White Elephant Village's gambit to the east?"
After hearing Qian Zhizhong's words, Qin Shan pondered for a moment before speaking directly.
"Hmm" Facing Qin Shan's voice, Qian Zhizhong nodded slightly, and then continued: "White Elephant Village has always been unpredictable. Their ambition towards us has never wavered. Now that Small Bar Village is under great pressure, but who can guarantee that these arrogant and conceited bastards won't take the opportunity to do something to us?"
"……” Qiao Zhenhai and the others looked at each other, nodded slightly after a brief moment of thought: "These guys from White Elephant Village aren't very bright. They might really do something stupid like that..."
As he spoke, Qiao Zhenhai turned his gaze towards Qian Zhizhong and asked: "Old money, what do you think?"
In response to the inquiry, Qian Zhizhong directly said: "I want to show off some muscle!"
"Show off some muscle?" Qiao Zhenhai seemed to be pondering.
"Yes, show off some muscle. Although White Elephant Village hasn't taken any actual actions yet, we must be vigilant and not let these arrogant and conceited bastards light the war on our territory..." Qian Zhizhong said in a low voice.
After hearing what Qian Zhizhong had said, Qiao Zhenhai nodded slightly.
Then he said, "Tell us, old money. How do you plan to do it? Are we going to have another joint exercise?"
"No," Qian Zhizhong shook his head in response to the question and then continued, "Joint exercises are the best form of deterrence, but they are too costly. Even the cost of a most ordinary rocket is over ten thousand yuan, and a single shell for a howitzer costs several thousand yuan. A single exercise can cost billions or even tens or hundreds of billions. It's really not cost-effective for us..."
Pausing for a moment, Qian Zhizhong continued, "My idea is that we should have a grand parade!"
Grand parade?
Qiao Zhenhai and the others were taken aback.
Then they fell into deep thought.
Indeed, as Qin Shan and Qian Zhizhong had said, joint exercises are indeed good, but the cost is too high. Even Long Village couldn't bear that kind of expenditure.
After all, although they are currently very powerful on the surface, in reality, they are still quite weak. Their equipment may be advanced, but the quantity is still insufficient.
To some extent, they are still paper tigers!
At this point, if we were to exhaust our already limited resources, and White Elephant Village's idiot were to invade us, the trouble would be immense!
"Old Qian, what kind of treasures are you planning to show off this time, Uncle Ba?"
In agreement, Qiao Zhenhai smiled.
"?????" Hearing Qiao Zhenhai's question, Qian Zhizhong's face turned dark.
Throwing a glance at this old comrade with eyes that could be mistaken for those of a fool, Qian Zhizhong then promptly shifted his gaze away from Qiao Zhenhai.
Uncle Ba?
Don't say that Su Heng hasn't started mass production now, and even if he had, would such a thing be suitable for display?
Not just Qian Zhizhong, but even Qin Shan beside him couldn't help but shake his head.
Subconsciously, Qin Shan was about to say something.
But at this moment——
Bing-bong!!
The telephone in Qian Zhizhong's office suddenly rang!
The sudden sound made Qian Zhizhong frown.
However, he did not overthink it and directly picked up the phone.
"Qian Lao, it's me, Su Heng..."
As soon as the phone call was connected, a gentle voice directly entered Qian Zhizhong's ears.
Xiao Su?
Upon hearing Su Heng's voice, Qian Zhizhong's spirit was shocked!
"Xiao Su, what's up?"
Without further thought, Qian Zhizhong asked directly.
Although they are currently discussing important matters.
From a theoretical standpoint, no one should disturb them at this time.
But the person calling was Su Heng!
In front of Su Heng, anything else has to be put aside!
Nowadays in Long Village, nothing is more important than Su Heng's business, especially when it comes to serious matters!
And it was very obvious that Su Heng usually wouldn't call them proactively. Since he did call, it must be an important matter!
As Qian Zhizhong spoke, the voice on the other end of the phone was also quickly transmitted:
"Qian Lao, I have figured out some technology from the Southern Heaven Gate. If you have the time, please take a look…"
Southern Heaven Gate?
Upon hearing the name, Qian Zhizhong's spirit shook again!
After a long time, Qian Zhizhong took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the urge to inquire directly on the phone. Then he directly said:
"Alright! Xiao Su, wait for me, I'll be right over!"
After the words were spoken, Qian Zhizhong didn't say anything more. After receiving a response from Su Heng, he directly hung up the phone.
…………
Putting down the phone, Qian Zhizhong didn't continue to discuss the grand parade. He rose and walked towards the door.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Qian Zhizhong in such a hurry, Qiao Zhenhai and the others were somewhat puzzled.
Qin Shan couldn't help but worry and said, "Old Qian, is there a problem with Xiao Su?"
Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone present changed.
The people who could come here were none other than exceptional figures.
They were well aware of who Xiao Su was, and it was because of this awareness that they understood the importance of Su Heng even more.
Now, for Long Village, Xiao Su is an existence that is completely comparable to mushrooms, even surpassing them!
After all, mushrooms there are just mushrooms, but the existence of Xiao Su can create countless mushrooms!
Even not to mention things that might appear in the future, Su Heng's current contributions to Long Village must be placed as the top priority for the safety of Su Heng!
It's not to be disrespectful, but Long Village can do without mushrooms, but it cannot do without Xiao Su!
In this situation, Su Heng under no circumstances can have any mishaps!
Thinking of these things, a group of old men, all at least over fifty years old, directly intercepted Qian Zhizhong.
Being intercepted by a group of old comrades, Qian Zhizhong also regained his composure from the news brought by Su Heng. Then, under the questioning of Qiao Zhenhai and others, he slowly opened his mouth:
"Xiao Su just called me, saying that the project at the Southern Heaven Gate has made progress!"
Upon hearing this, the hearts of everyone present were shaken!
Just like Qian Zhizhong, as an advanced commander of Long Village, they were all familiar with the name.
The Southern Heaven Gate project was originally initiated by the group of them.
It was originally just used to fool the Black and White Eagles, much like the star war plan proposed by the Black and White Eagles in the last century.
It wasn't until later, because of Xiao Su's existence, the Southern Heaven Gate plan, which was originally used as a deception to fool the Black and White Eagles, was directly put on Xiao Su's agenda!
And now, after several months of time, Xiao Su finally has some good news?
"Old Qian, what did Xiao Su tell you on the phone? Don't keep it to yourself. Just tell us quickly."
After regaining his composure, Qin Shan couldn't wait to ask eagerly.
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhizhong shook his head slightly and said: "Su Heng didn't provide much detail on the phone. It's also hard to say over the phone. Su Heng only said that there has been progress, and he wants me to come and have a look. If I think it's feasible, he will be ready to discuss with us the formal launch of the Southern Heaven Gate project…"
Upon receiving the response, Qin Shan and the others exchanged glances and then said directly, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go right away!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Qin Shan led the way, turning directly to walk towards the door.
He had completely forgotten about the grand parade they had just discussed.
The grand parade is important, but compared to what Su Heng is working on, it is clearly less significant!
At the end of the day, the grand parade is only for intimidating riffraff, to prevent some arrogant cats and dogs from really acting up.
Not that some events have actually taken place.
In fact, both Qin Shan and Qian Zhizhong, as well as everyone else, were all aware that the probability of the events they worried about happening was very low. In fact, unless the Black and White Eagles and other villages had a stroke of idiocy, it was highly unlikely they would attack Long Village at this time.
The reason for the grand parade is simply to prevent potential problems from occurring, by turning them into impossibilities in advance!
Now, with the matter of Su Heng, everything else can be set aside for now.
Although everyone wanted to go, in the end, Qian Zhizhong and others still left the other senior commanders behind, with only Qian Zhizhong and two others going together.
