Military factory, inside the command center.

Xu Ziling walked in, without greeting Gu Hongyuan and others, he directly asked, "Have you found someone?"

Gu Hongyuan got up quickly, pointed to the satellite map displayed on the big screen, and replied: "I found it, a small island [-] nautical miles east of the central part, Wanji City."

"How is the personnel situation?"

"There is no danger for the time being, and the other party has not acted aggressively."

"That's fine."

Xu Ziling breathed a sigh of relief when he got this answer.

He is cruel and merciless, that is for the enemy. He is most concerned about the safety of his own people. The Philippine armed forces and pirates are quite famous. Although many times, they just ask for ransom, but it does not represent them. would not kill.

This time their actions have greater significance, but bringing back the hostages safely is the first priority.

"Introduce the situation." After sitting down and confirming the specific location, he said to Gu Hongyuan.

"It happened last night. The target went out at night alone. According to the tour group, she was going to have a late-night snack, because the hotel reserved a single room. They didn't know if she came back in the end. The trip was carried out until this morning. When the people assembled, it was only then that they were found to be missing.”

"After the tour guide contacted the phone, the person who answered the phone said that the person was in their hands, but did not say anything else. After that, the tour guide chose to call the police and contact the country at the same time. During this time, the Philippine government passed Investigate, report that it was done by the militants, then the media starts reporting, and then we know."

"Now the time is relatively short, and we are mainly investigating the whereabouts of the personnel, so we have not received much other information. It is not yet certain whether this matter is related to the Philippine government and our No. [-] plan."

Gu Hongyuan quickly told all the news he knew.

"What do you say?" Xu Ziling listened to this, pondered for a while, then looked around everyone, and asked.

"This matter is a bit strange, it's too coincidental." Everyone looked at it, and Yang Kaiming spoke first, "Just at this juncture, I always feel like someone is manipulating it behind the scenes."

"Well. The timing is really too coincidental." Li Cheng also nodded.

The few of them are not conspiracy theorists, but it is too suspicious for such a thing to happen at this time.

Now the conflict between Red Star and the Philippines in the South China Sea incident is irreconcilable. Before the fleet collided with the other party’s ships, they were no match for Red Star in terms of force, and they didn’t dare to do it blatantly. Red Star's pressure to achieve their goals is absolutely justified.

Hearing the words of several people, Xu Ziling also had the same thought in his heart, but the time they got the news was too short, even if the lion is the most powerful, some things cannot be found immediately, looking at the target location on the satellite map, he tapped own head:

"This place is too far away. If our warship goes around, it will take at least a week. I wonder if we can wait..."

They left a destroyer in the South China Sea before, but now the place where the people are detained is in the eastern part of the Philippines, which is on the verge of the North Pacific Ocean. If the warship passes by, it must detour from Luzon to the south of Baodao and then enter the Pacific Ocean. In this way, The voyage is several thousand kilometers, and it will take several days for the destroyer to pass by at the fastest speed.

What's more, in the absence of supplies, it is definitely not a good idea for a destroyer to approach the Philippines.

"Is it okay to land?"

Xu Ziling's words made everyone realize that entering the country is a big trouble for them now. This place is full of sea water, and it is so far away from the base camp. If the Philippine government doesn't know about it, let a small group of people enter here. It's not an easy task.

"Landing? From where?"

"Sansha!"

Starting from Sansha, if you fly in a straight line, you will only reach the target location for about [-] kilometers. Even if you fly along the open sea, it will only be [-] kilometers. It is indeed suitable for the plane to land.

But if you agree, this is also a trouble.

"Yes, the Sansha base is now in use. I checked just now, and they are equipped with seaplanes. They are the latest model 'Jiaolong' developed by China. When the auxiliary fuel tank is not loaded, the combat radius has also reached two. A thousand kilometers is completely suitable for this operation."

Yang Kaiming said.

If an ordinary transport plane lands, there must be another way to retreat. The Philippines is an island country. If you want to leave, you must go to the air or water, ships and submarines. After being rescued, hide in the Philippines for a few days and wait for the rescue.

But with a seaplane, then this trouble is indeed solved.

The plane can stop on the sea, wait for the personnel to return after the operation is over, and then take off.

"It's possible." Xu Ziling thought about the plan and said.

The rescue plan is basically like this, but this does not mean that it can be acted immediately, the coordination of operational personnel, routes, equipment, vehicles, customization of backup plans, etc...

After the short meeting was over, Xu Ziling told the lion to step up the investigation, and then contacted the country.

Regarding this news, the military factory did not pay special attention to it before. After getting the news from the media, everyone in Xu Ziling had a plan, but the premise of this plan was after the hostages were rescued.

Therefore, after an urgent discussion, they immediately contacted the country and reported the matter.

Because this involves a sovereign country, the only thing the country can do in this regard is to urge the Philippines to rescue the hostages as soon as possible. It is impossible to send domestic operatives to resolve this matter in an open and honest manner.

When they knew that Xu Ziling and the others had taken over this matter, they immediately agreed.

After the plan was confirmed, Xu Ziling no longer contacted Fan Yi, but directly contacted the South China Sea Fleet.

"Uncle Tang, I need to use the seaplane at the Sansha base."

The Sansha base is under the jurisdiction of the South China Sea Fleet. Tang Jiannian can completely decide the use of seaplanes. Knowing that Xu Ziling and the others have an action plan, he immediately approved it.

"Find the whereabouts of the personnel? I'll let the other side prepare immediately. When will we act?"

"I found it. A small island thirty nautical miles east of Wanji. This is a stronghold of armed personnel. There are operatives on board the Markkula. I need to trouble Uncle Tang to send them to Sansha."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, for about tens of seconds, "Wan Ji? No wonder the plane is needed. Are you going to fly in a straight line or take a detour?"

Xu Ziling suddenly realized that he was looking at a map.

"We have already calculated that the detour will be more than 500 kilometers, and it will not take an hour. For the sake of safety, of course we choose a detour. I will notify my people and set off immediately."

"What's the situation with the other party? Are you sure?"

Xu Ziling smiled, and said confidently: "There are twenty people on the other side, not to mention ordinary armed personnel, even special forces, and I have to let them die without a place to bury them..."

There was a smile in the words, and there was a cold murderous look, Tang Jiannian heard it, but he appreciated it.

Laughing loudly: "Okay! It's good to have this confidence. Inform your people, and I will arrange for people to send them to Sansha immediately."

"it is good!"

The return of the aircraft carrier formation to China, although nominally a military exchange between the two countries, actually means more than that. In addition to dealing with the Philippines' blocking of the exploration ship, what is more important is that part of the formation's personnel will be replaced and the special Combatants are trained to fight piracy.

These special operations personnel were not members of the formation, but Xu Ziling transferred from the military factory.

In the past, they paid more attention to the training of land warfare, and it was the team members' initiative and the suggestion of Lu Feng and Gu Hongyuan that led to the development of relevant training programs for naval warfare.

What I didn't expect was that such a thing would happen during this onboard training.

Contacting the captain of the aircraft carrier, Xu Ziling immediately issued this order, and at the same time asked the lion to pass the mission information to the team members.

In their view, this rescue operation was just a trivial matter. Gu Hongyuan personally appointed the person for the operation, a six-member tactical team: the captain, the fireman, and the sniper.

The team members under the military factory are equipped with the latest full set of equipment from the military factory. When the mission was issued, a team leader, four firemen, and a sniper began to gather immediately. After a brief mission briefing, they were sent to the Sansha Base.

The home port of the fleet is only more than 500 kilometers away from the Sansha base, and they arrived in less than an hour.

It was already evening at this time, Xu Ziling and the others set the action time in the early morning, and it only took more than two hours to reach the destination from Sansha, so there was still plenty of time.

In Sansha, while the plane was being prepared, the six team members also started a tactical drill for the operation.

With the support of satellites, they knew the situation of the target island clearly. Where were the buildings, where were the other party's personnel, and where were the hostages?

When the departure time came, they boarded the plane immediately, and then the plane left Sansha and flew to the vast sea.

Jiaolong's maximum flight altitude can reach [-] kilometers. It departs from the Sansha base and flies northeast.

After more than two hours, we arrived at the scheduled sea area.

The aircraft carrier is equipped with a small eagle-eye radar. In order for the seaplane to enter and possibly approach the target position, the operator specially brought one on the plane.

Avoiding the ships off the coast of the Philippines and flying at low altitude, they arrived at a place less than [-] kilometers away from the target island very smoothly.
