This Game Is Too Realistic

North Island Naval Command.

There were hurried footsteps and chatter, and the place was crowded and busy.

Since the Shazhou Island incident, a fuse has been inserted into the powder keg in the southern seas, and now all it takes is a spark to ignite it.

This "quiet" war has entered its most critical stage. The chips on the table are getting higher and higher. Both sides have tightened their nerves and gathered their cards.

Especially in the command center of the entire federal navy, many people have been working overtime for a month. Charas even moved his office here from the presidential palace, throwing away some complicated and irrelevant daily chores. He was given the appointment of a puppet vice president.

No matter how bad the governance is, it will not affect his position as president, but if he loses, everything will be lost. He knows very well what is more important.

Time passed from September to October, and in a few days the destroyer will be launched.

It will be the largest and most advanced destroyer in the history of the Federation. Although it is not enough to affect the entire war situation, it can still add a bargaining chip in his hands.

Just as Charas was patiently waiting for the opportunity for the decisive battle, the situation suddenly took a turn for the better.

And it is in a direction that is beneficial to the Federation!

The Reef, which had been captured by the South China Sea Alliance before, suddenly sent a telegram. In the telegram, it not only disclosed its patrol route and relevant information about the South China Sea Alliance, but also expressed its dissatisfaction with the South China Sea Alliance's extreme distrust of itself and its hope that it would return to the Federation. demands.

Here we have to mention the strategy of the South China Sea Alliance in dealing with this "captive ship".

Because the South China Sea Alliance has insufficient officer reserves and no experienced sailors can completely replace the crew of the Reef, the South China Sea Alliance authorities have retained 80% of the original staff and replaced the remaining 20% ​​with South China Sea Alliance monitors. , controlling the destroyer's communications, radar, daily security, etc.

The Reef is currently under surveillance, like a blindfolded donkey. It can only receive combat orders unilaterally from the Anle Island Command. It can neither participate in the discussion of combat plans nor have any involvement in operations. The right to speak at meetings.

The life safety of all officers and soldiers on the entire destroyer could not be guaranteed. Even the "monitors" of the destroyer USS Reef felt deeply uneasy and dissatisfied with the arbitrary and arbitrary Commander Li Minghui.

After all, they are all alone, why not choose a stronger one?

Zhang Ruoqiu, who was still the captain of the destroyer Reef, successfully bribed a supervisor who operated the radio and sent this confidential message to Bei Dao while on duty.

From a logical and rational point of view, it makes sense.

The captain of the destroyer Reef did not surrender voluntarily, but was captured by the Alliance's frogmen. Although he still sat in the captain's position, he was forced to do so, and it was normal not to be trusted.

Whenever the Southern Alliance had a substitute general who could hold the position of captain, they would definitely replace him without hesitation.

If not, we might have to send him to a military court for trial.

Of course, the Beidao Command did not immediately reply to the secret message. It waited patiently for a few days to confirm that the destroyer Reef was indeed patrolling according to the route map of the secret message, and then carried out the response according to the contact information provided in the secret message. get in touch with.

In the communication, the two sides communicated a series of operational details, including the rescue route and even blocking the pursuers, to ensure that the destroyer Reef could return to the North Island military port intact.

Once this matter is successful, it will undoubtedly be a huge boost to the morale of the North Island military and civilians!

It can be said that Charas personally handled the entire rescue plan. He reviewed every detail of the plan in detail and strived to make it foolproof.

However, at the moment when he was about to take action, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart, and looked at the staff officer standing aside to confirm repeatedly.

"Is the information reliable?"

The staff officer immediately asked.

"It shouldn't be wrong."

Charas nodded, but felt his eyelids twitching and couldn't help but ask again.

"Could it be a scam?"

"Probably -" the staff officer wanted to say "probably not", but after being asked too many questions, he couldn't help but doubt himself. He hesitated for a while and said, "This possibility is very small."

Charas suddenly stopped.

"That means it's not nothing."

That's for sure.

A meal can make people choke to death, let alone an action plan with such complicated steps.

"Yes." The staff officer nodded, looking at him intently, waiting for his order.

Charas frowned, lost in thought, and suddenly became undecided.

Things were not going well during this period.

First the Sandbar Island was lost, and then the Reef was lost. The entire Northern Commonwealth was panicked.

What's even worse is that all the forces in the wasteland that had never interacted with each other suddenly united. I heard that even the natives of Borneo Province went to Shifeng Mountain to join in the fun. The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Torch Church. .

Although I don't know how the battle is going in the north of Huan, the flames of war have already reached the end of the sea. No matter how you interpret it, it is difficult to understand this as an advantage.

The Torch Church is waiting for change, trying to increase its power in the southern sea area and open up the strategic space in the south.

The same strategy applies to the South China Sea Alliance.

Although their fleet strength is slightly inferior, they can completely hold themselves back and maintain the situation. After the [Torch] War is over, everything will naturally be over.

The pressure on the South is entirely on its own side...

Even for himself, he must help Torch Church Yanan open up strategic space.

Only when he was about to make a decision, a deafening voice suddenly came from his ears.

"徳 Chi! That's a trap!"

Arzu suddenly appeared next to Charas, startling the latter.

Only he could see the pale golden figure. Others looked at him with confusion, wondering what happened to him suddenly.

Charas woke up suddenly, a drop of cold sweat slowly sliding down his forehead.

Risk!

I almost got fooled!

In fact, he should have reacted long ago. He faintly noticed something was wrong before Arzu opened his mouth.

During the previous landing operation on Shazhou Island, the captain of the Reef, Zhang Ruo, clearly refused to carry out his order and did not bomb the settlement. Instead, he dropped the shells on the outskirts of the settlement.

The mutants who landed ashore were attacked by Alliance airborne troops, and an entire team of a thousand people was wiped out.

That guy has already had a precedent of obeying and disobeying his orders. How could he change his mind now?

He is afraid of going to the military court of the South China Sea Alliance, but isn't he afraid of facing his own accountability?

Seeing that Charas didn't speak and was standing beside him like a ghost, Arzu slowly spoke.

"I planted the Holy Domain on Zhang Ruo's body... He has defected to the South China Sea Alliance. The so-called defection is just a bait. They plan to lure your Haiya battleship out of the port, and then cooperate with their special equipment - —A giant submarine that can take off and land carrier-based aircraft and sink them.”

The sanctuary and the sanctuary are independent of each other, but when the network is open, information exchange will occur, and it is not controlled by the host.

Just now, when the Beidao military base was in regular contact with the destroyer Reef, he sensed news coming from the crystal on Zhang Ruo's body——

The so-called defection is actually a bait.

The South China Sea Alliance fleet is ambushing not far away!

Charas narrowed his eyes and glanced at Arzu.

"When did this happen?"

Arzuo replied quietly: "Just recently."

Charas continued to ask you word by word: "My question is, when did you plant the holy realm in my officer's head?"

Faced with the questioning look, Arzu chuckled, with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth.

"He was already an apostle of the Torch before the Federation fell apart... Why do you ask me in this tone? And if I hadn't made arrangements in advance, you and your fleet would have been like headless flies. You fell into the trap of the South China Sea Alliance fleet, you should thank me for saving your life."

Charas sneered.

"I can guess [this is a trap] without you reminding me."

"Really?" Arzu smiled noncommittally and disappeared from the command table quietly, as if he had never been there before.

Pairs of eyes were fixed on Charas, and all the officers were waiting for the boss's order.

After calming down his fluctuating emotions, Charas cleared his throat, looked around at the people standing in front of the table, and spoke in a slow voice.

"It's a trap!"

There was a commotion in the command room, and all the officers looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out..." The fleet commander touched his chin, his expression gradually becoming serious.

The staff officer on the side also nodded.

"I think too..."

Everyone who was discussing the details of the book war a second ago suddenly did a 180-degree turn. They all also felt that there might be fraud in this, and their analysis was reasonable and well-founded, saying that the leader was Yu.

Seeing these guys turning around like the wind, Charas' eyebrows twitched fiercely, but he didn't say anything.

He was actually quite sober in his mind. This was a problem that almost all single men would inevitably encounter.

Once a person is stamped with the ideological stamp of "no disobedience", he is destined to lose the ability to think against others. It is impossible to say that while maintaining unity like a worker bee, they can express different opinions from the queen bee on the issue of building the hive.

Even if it is an opinion in a professional field.

For the sake of being alone, he is destined to hear only what he wants to hear.

People will just follow his words, whether consciously or unconsciously, even in the "professional field" where he hopes to gain [different insights].

Therefore, when he said he wanted to save the Reef, even the most experienced officers did not dare to think against his direction. They only thought about how to save the ship, not whether it could be saved.

Fortunately, he discovered it in time, otherwise he would have almost fallen into the pit dug on the opposite side.

"Are you going to abandon the Reef?" The commander looked at Charas and cautiously asked the boss for his opinion.

Just like when we first wanted to save him, "The Reef is a trap" is now something that cannot be disputed.

"Give up? Why give up." Charas smiled faintly and continued slowly, "In order to make it easier to attack, the South China Sea Alliance fleet must be ambushing somewhere near the Reef, including the ship that appeared in the intelligence to be able to launch an attack. Landing carrier-based aircraft and submarines.”

The officers changed their gazes and discussed in low voices.

This is indeed not impossible.

In other words, it is almost certain.

After looking around at his generals, Charas clenched his right fist, placed it heavily on the command table, and said excitedly.

"Everyone! This is a trap, but it is also an opportunity! The traitors in the south don't know yet, but we have seen through their tricks, and our dagger is already at their throats!"

"The battle plan for 䜥㱕, codenamed 'Strike on the Rocks'! It will be carried out at the same time as the 'Line of Return'!"

"Yingying Reef! Tell them that we are ready! Let them meet at our designated coordinates!"

All the officers stood at attention and performed a military salute.

"yes!"

…

On the rough sea, a lone ship was slowly moving towards the northwest.

Zhang Ruoyao suddenly felt that this ship looked very much like him, or maybe he looked very much like this ship.

He didn't know where he should be.

This confusion became even more true after Charas issued the 䜥㱕 Declaration.

In the past 200 years, the survivors in the southern seas have done many things, but it seems that everything is in vain. In the end, they are still repeating the mistakes of 200 years ago.

The Federation was born in flames, and fell apart in even more powerful flames.

They lost the torch because of the enemy's opposition, but the too hot energy burned them all.

So what is all this for?

"...It's normal for you to be confused. The root of all mistakes lies in the human species itself. This is a physiologically determined limit. Old humans only belong to the earth and are only suitable for living on the earth. Fish must evolve if they want to come ashore. Without limbs, limbs alone are not enough to reach the distant starry sky. We still lack a revolution in our own life form. "

The voices of 㱒和㱕 came from the depths of the sea of ​​​​consciousness, just like the gospel from heaven, giving him a moment of tranquility.

Zhang Ruowen glanced slightly sideways, looked at the old man standing in the captain's room, and said with a faint smile.

"Then why don't you just give up your body like your kind."

He knew that this guy was a senior member of the Torch Church.

He is also the only apostle who has obtained the permission of the Holy Land without being a forefather.

"That's too extreme." Arzu shook his head and said slowly, "They rush to draw a clear line with others, which puts themselves in a disadvantageous position. If it were me, I would take advantage of the person's identity. Let’s get together, recycle the legacy of the old civilization to the greatest extent, and then promote the final change.”

If he followed his method, although Torch couldn't deceive the academy, it could still deceive the enterprise.

The residents of Ideal City still feel a little guilty about what happened 150 years ago, otherwise they would not throw money into the wasteland, let alone try to correct the mistakes they made in the past.

As for the Legion, they can be bought with the technology that the Velantians desire and the promise of their rule over the Great Rift Valley. Even if the eastward expansion faction failed, there were still a considerable number of Weirant people outside the Eastern Army who were eager to "revenge" the War Construction Committee.

Subverting the Great Rift Valley and getting rid of the shackles of the suzerain is also what the Free State desires. They can form a tacit community of interests just like they did during the Bone Chewing Rebellion.

As a result, no matter how hard the alliance tries its best, it will be difficult to build up the encirclement network like now.

However, what is helpless is that those forefathers regarded themselves too noble, believing that "advanced thoughts and concepts" would definitely defeat the old things, but mistakenly regarded as history things that have not yet been regarded as history. inevitable.

This is the final result.

[In the end, it was up to him, a human being who still had a physical body, to turn the tide.

Arzu sighed softly in his heart.

Thanks to him using some tricks, otherwise the situation would have been irreversible.

The self on the other crystal should have reminded Chalas, and now the North Island side should have known that the entire operation was a scam.

The South China Sea Alliance may not think that the captain of the Reef is actually its apostle. I'm afraid this apostle wouldn't think about it either. He knows all his secrets.

The two of them were silent, each with their own thoughts, looking at the turbulent waves outside the bridge.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the corridor. The adjutant opened the door and came in, giving a military salute and saying seriously.

"Reporting to the commander! As per your instructions, we have sent out a 'signal'... Beidao Naval Base responded to us that they have received the request and the destroyer Feiyu is heading to the designated area coordinates for reinforcements."

"Yes." Zhang Ruowen nodded, "Just go as planned."

The decoy program is highly secretive.

Except for him, no one on the entire destroyer knew the code name "Laken", let alone that he was a decoy.

The cronies around him only knew that he was going to defect to the north. Most of the grassroots sailors didn't even know that the ship had deviated from the patrol channel, let alone that the ship's traces had been exposed to the Northern Federation Fleet. Under the sight.

Everything is part of the plan.

Looking at Zhang Ruowen with an expressionless face, the adjutant hesitated slightly and whispered.

"Sir..."

Zhang Ruowen said nonchalantly.

"What's up."

The adjutant was silent for a while and then continued.

"Is this... really appropriate?"

Zhang Ruowen looked at him and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't think Charas will trust you more than General Kui Minghui... After returning to [Beijing Island], we may receive a nominal welcome, but the actual situation may be worse. And..."

The adjutant hesitated for a moment, as if hesitating whether this was what he should say.

But after a moment of silence, he finally gritted his teeth and spoke out his thoughts.

"And I think...compared to Charas, the declaration advocated by the Confederacy is what we really need."

What they need is not false peace and unity, but real unity!

After hearing these words, Zhang Ruowen was silent for a while, as if waiting for something.

At the same time when the hour hand and the minute hand came together, he suddenly laughed twice and said in a soft voice.

"Yes, this is good."

The adjutant was stunned for a moment.

"Okay?"

Zhang Ruowen nodded, smiled lightly and continued.

"You've already started thinking about our future, so that's good... Although I haven't decided where I want my future to be, at least someone is thinking about it. Maybe my confusion is only temporary."

Looking at the confused adjutant, he continued.

"The reason why I chose Charas is mostly because I don't know what to do. Maybe a guy who is tough enough and has some skills can do it for everyone... At least he doesn't He will be as indecisive as Mongo, and will be as indecisive as our cabinet, arguing from dark to dawn, but unable to come up with a reason. "

"Maybe that guy isn't bad either... I thought so at first. He might be able to lead us to a brighter future."

"But I suddenly discovered... that was actually just my laziness and illusion. That idiot was not smarter than any of us. He would also make the same mistakes we made because of our quarrels, and he would make them again and again. , committed silently.”

I heard that the surviving people in the southern seas have recently come out one after another, bringing with them the legacy of the Prosperity Era to change other people in the wasteland and unite more people.

If it were Charas, they probably wouldn't allow them to do this.

That guy also tried to build a huge maritime empire after solving the alliance. He would use the physical technology provided by the Torch to compete with legions, companies, and colleges, and use the surviving people in the southern seas as his chess pieces and bargaining chips.

It's so small...

Be it ability or ambition.

He has become the president of the Federation, but he doesn't even dare to dream big!

There was obviously a wider sea of ​​stars above their heads, but that guy could only see the pond at his feet.

If they follow that guy, they will never be able to return to the place they have set foot on!

The corner of Zhang Ruowen's mouth curled up into a smile. He was extremely glad that he made the right choice at that time, which was to hesitate for two seconds when taking [Charas' life].

Looking at the smile on his face, the adjutant asked with a wry smile.

"Since you think Charas is unreliable, do you still want to choose him in the end?"

He didn't agree with the commander's defection, but it seemed it was too late to say anything now.

The Reef has entered radio silence and cut off all communications with the South China Sea Alliance.

No matter how slow Minghuiji was, he should have realized that the Reef had rebelled.

Currently, only the Beidao command post knows their location and heading, and they can only go one way [dark].

At least that's how it seemed to him.

"You only looked at the surface... and thought it was normal." Zhang Ruowen took out the telescope, glanced in the north direction, paused and said, "Now there is no need to keep secrets... I can tell you clearly. You and we are just bait, a decisive battle codenamed 'Laken' has begun!"

"Pass me your order! The entire ship has entered level one combat readiness state! Prepare to fight against the ships that come to meet us!"

As he expected, the adjutant had a look of astonishment on his face with bright eyes.

Including the other officers on the bridge, they were not prepared for the sudden change. They never thought that an ordinary patrol or defection would turn into a final decisive battle with the Northern Federation!

Except for one person.

That is Arzu who only Zhang Ruowen can see.

Hou Yan's facial muscles gradually distorted, revealing a ferocious smile like the sea beast Laken.

really!

This guy is really pretending to surrender and really leading the way!

This guy finally showed off his cards!

Before entering radio silence, he had informed the North Island Naval Command that as long as these guys continued to move forward along the same route, what was waiting for them would not be the destroyer Feiyu, but the cruiser Laken!

That is an anti-ship ship specially designed to target the destroyer!

In the past century, Vault 70 was not only afraid of the legions that subverted the War and Construction Committee, but also the survivors in the southern sea. For this reason, it designed a series of mutual checks and balances to prevent They use the technology brought by the shelter to oppose the shelter.

At the same time, the battleship Haiya, under the cover of the destroyers Feiyu and Defiant, will simultaneously face the ambush forces of the South China Sea Alliance at sea and under the sea!

No matter how powerful the submarine carriers and carrier-based aircraft are, they cannot be opponents of destroyers specially designed for anti-submarine warfare.

Of course, it would be even worse if it floated on the water!

As for the cruiser Harpoon and the other two destroyers that provided cover for the submarine, they were a joke in front of the main gun of the battleship Haiya!

Arzu looked at Captain Zhang Ruowen with a smile, but he didn't expect that the captain behind him was also looking at him.

There was nothing wrong with that expressionless face.

However, at this moment, Alzu found an unusual smile on the corner of Na Jing's mouth.

This guy is laughing!

He can still laugh?

Suddenly, Arzu suddenly thought of something, and his empty pupils suddenly shrank.

etc--

Code name Laken! ?

The code name for the South China Sea Alliance's decoy plan is actually Laken!

This is definitely not a match!

There is only one explanation. These people were heading for the cruiser Laken from the beginning!

They predicted their predictions and those of Charas, they were sure that Charas would not trust the Reef, and they were even sure that they could read the thoughts in the apostle's mind and leak the secret...even if the secret torch had never been Disclosed to anyone!

Even Charas doesn’t know!

"I guess you must be surprised now, how did I hide Dongdong's code name from you, right?" Looking at the smile that gradually changed from ecstasy to fear, Zhang Ruowen said in a soft voice.

Without disconnecting his consciousness, Arzudi's Adam's apple moved. He nodded slowly.

Zhang Ruowen didn't take it seriously and continued casually.

"If you want to deceive your opponent, you must first deceive yourself... To be honest, I only just found out what the codename of this operation was."

"How is that possible!" Arzu stared at him, but mistakenly realized that he didn't panic.

A terrible suspicion appeared in his mind, and at the same time, there was a non-existent drop of cold sweat falling.

Zhang Ruowen continued.

"You already know that this is an ambush, so the one that came to 'receive' me must not be another destroyer. Neither the Flying Fish nor the Defiant are possible. It will take a while to get results, and it cannot be a battleship... check That guy Lars isn't going to risk his only treasure leaving the protection of the fleet just to destroy a destroyer."

"If you think about it, it can only be the Laken. After all, you have clearly declared that the one coming to 'receive' me will be an anti-submarine destroyer. We will not let any submarine follow us when we are sure that the plan has not been exposed. Near the Reef, there will definitely be an ambush further away."

"In this way, even if the Laken's anti-submarine capability is weak, it will have enough time to turn around immediately after sinking us, rendezvous with your fleet ambushing nearby, and attract the surface and underwater fleets of the South China Sea Alliance [ In your ambush circle."

If that were the case, it would undoubtedly be a disaster.

The submarines of the South China Sea Alliance have no power to fight back against the destroyers of the Northern Federation. The Harpoon cruiser, the only cruiser of the South China Sea Alliance, cannot be an opponent of the battleship Haiya.

The whole battle will end as cleanly as rock-paper-scissors, without any suspense.

However, it is precisely because of this that they can take advantage of this in turn and take advantage of Charas's prediction of the "South China Sea Alliance's prediction"!

If he guessed correctly, there must be a South China Sea Alliance submarine ambushing near him at this moment, and it has already targeted the "Laken" that pretended to be the Feiyu and was approaching this area!

"Di Minghui didn't tell me the code name of this operation, so this is all my guess. If the code name is actually Feiyu or something else, it proves that I was wrong in my bet."

Looking at Arzu with a frightened expression on his face, Zhang Ruowen looked through that empty face to the rolling waves outside the bridge and "Laken" hidden behind the waves, with a faint smile on his face.

"But your reaction tells me that I probably guessed it right!"
