. "Mr. Huang, this proposition is too big and there is no clear time limit."

"A few years later, from the end of the Second Korean War, ten years later."

"this……"

"Don't hurry, think it through before answering."

After pondering for a while, Mu Haoyang said: "In a few years, the advantages we gained in the Korean War will definitely disappear. The United States has sufficient technical strength and financial resources to obtain comprehensive electromagnetic confrontation capabilities. It is difficult for us to gain the basic strength to confront the United States in the field of electromagnetic technology in just a few years. Therefore, if we want to win in the next war, in addition to continuing to increase our investment in the field of electromagnetic, we also have to inquire about more reliable and lasting electromagnetic confrontation methods to offset the US military's advantages in the field of information."

"That's so simple?"

"This is my basic understanding. If you implement it in detail, you will encounter a lot of trouble."

Huang Zhibo smiled and said, "You are right, so you should know now why we have to spend so much money on Professor Qian's project."

"this……"

"So, when do you think Qian Zhongtai can make a breakthrough?"

Mu Haoyang was in trouble, after all, this was a purely technical problem.

Lu Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Huang, Lieutenant Colonel of the Milky Way is only responsible for project funding management and does not have a good understanding of the specific situation of the project."

"Is that true?" Huang Zhibo turned his gaze to Lu Wen.

"Technical breakthroughs cannot be generated by accumulating money. They must have enough time, and what we need most now is time."

"Lu Gong, I am the same." Huang Zhibo smiled and said, "For us, time is equally precious, and in my opinion, if we cannot use it, then even the most advanced technology can be put aside. Now we need a reliable military technology to consolidate our advantages in the field of electromagnetics, and the reply I received is completely negative, so I have to make a choice between the long-term and the short-term."

"Mr. Huang, we..."

"I know, you've tried your best and done better than anyone else."

Lu Wen sighed secretly. It seemed that she had long been used to talking to Huang Zhibo.

"You have also seen that the war is about to break out, and we have no advantage anymore." Huang Zhibo paused for a moment and said to Mu Haoyang, "Lieutenant Colonel, before you return to the Physical Experiment Center, I will personally hand over the promotion order to you, but you have to do one thing well."

"What's up?"

"No matter what method you use, I will give me a clear answer as soon as possible. Can the research done by Qian Zhongtai and others be used in a war that may be about to break out?"

"this……"

"You have about one week, maybe five days. I can't be sure of the specific situation. I just call you when I need it and ask you to submit an evaluation report."

Mu Haoyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll go back today."

"No problem, I'll arrange a special plane for you."

"I'll go back too." Lu Wen said quickly, "Lieutenant Animal Husbandry and Lieutenant Colonel has just joined the scientific research work and is still only aware of many technical things."

"Okay, are there any other requirements?"

The two of them did not make any other requests, after all, this was not something that could be negotiated.

Huang Zhibo was also very pleased and signed Mu Haoyang's promotion order on the spot, and then asked the secretary to get the registration from the Personnel Office. As for the colonel's military uniform and epaulette, they would be sent directly to the plane.

When dealing with this matter, Lu Fenglie called.

Mu Haoyang and Lu Wen did not talk long and quickly said goodbye to Huang Zhibo to avoid delaying the precious time of the Deputy Chief of Staff.

When the two rushed to the airport, Huang Zhibo also went to the head of state.

Because he was convening a high-level government meeting, he did not see Fu Xiubo immediately, but was blocked outside by Lu Fenglie who was driven out.

"what is going on?"

"It's not clear yet, but there is evidence..." Huang Zhibo closed the door of the tea hall and said, "At the time of the incident, there was an unknown submarine in the nearby waters, and there was a US strategic electronic reconnaissance aircraft about two hundred kilometers away from the waters in which the incident occurred."

“What does this mean?”

"The electronic warplane that interferes with the communication of our submarine is the electronic warplane. After receiving a signal from a submarine, the aircraft returned to Kadena Air Force Base."

Lu Fenglie immediately frowned.

"The Second Department is trying to find a way to confirm the identity of the submarine."

"What about your judgment?"

“This is not simple.”

"It's certainly not simple, and we have to make a judgment as soon as possible." Lu Fenglie breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Head of State has proposed to take military action at the high-level meeting and has received the support of Li Pingko and others. In a few hours, a decision will probably be made."

"So I'll call you quickly."

"you mean……"

"If possible, the high-level meeting must be terminated, the situation must be cleared before making a decision."

Lu Fenglie nodded and said, "I'll go find a way. You can wait here and don't go anywhere. I'll send someone to call you later."

Huang Zhibo was not too long-winded, and he really didn't plan to go anywhere else.

When Lu Fenglie returned to the conference room, discussions on whether to resolve the East China Sea dispute through military operations and resolve the Taiwan Strait issue together were still underway.

At the meeting, nine senior leaders were divided into three groups.

Fu Xiubo, Li Pingko, and Huang Hanlin, who was transferred to the Central Committee two years ago and served as director of the Political and Legal Committee, agreed. The three leaders represented by Wen Tinggui did not make any statements, while the three leaders, led by Yi Yuanchao, who were also transferred to the Central Committee two years ago and served as deputy head of the state, clearly expressed their opposition.

The discussion was going on very fiercely, or the argument was very fierce.

The debate mainly focuses on three points: one is timing, two is strength, and three is long-term impact.

In terms of opportunity, the biggest difference is whether the surrounding and international situation is beneficial to China's use of military means to resolve the East China Sea dispute, especially in this conflict, will the United States help Japan and even send troops directly to the war.

To put it bluntly, it is whether the United States has the ability and motivation to intervene in the conflict between the East China Sea and the Taiwan Strait.

Obviously, Fu Xiubo held a negative view that the United States would not intervene. In contrast, Yi Yuanchao believed that the United States would intervene by participating in the war.

Of course, this is just a basic question.

In terms of strength, the biggest difference is whether the current squadron has the ability to win a war dominated by sea and air, or even completely confined to the ocean.

After all, it means that a powerful army has lost its place to use its power, and whether the navy and air force can defeat the enemy.

Obviously, Fu Xiubo's attitude was very optimistic, while Yi Yuanchao and others were not so optimistic. The reason was very simple. In the Second Korean War, the Volunteer Air Force did not perform outstandingly, and suffered very heavy losses. The Navy's performance was not as good as expected.

However, this is a military issue, and the military's views play a decisive role.

The most important thing is the long-term impact.

It can be said that this is precisely why leaders such as Wen Tinggui refused to express their attitude.

Although the Second Korean War has only ended for four years, the long-term impact has been reflected. In Wen Tinggui's words, China has become more isolated in the international community. Even though it relies on economic and trade exchanges to maintain good relations with many countries, China is subject to greater exclusion and suspicion in the fields of politics, diplomacy, culture, military, etc., which has led to a significant reduction in the voice in some major international affairs.

For example, on the reconstruction of Afghanistan, China is not even comparable to several small Central Asian countries.

According to Wen Tinggui's view, if war will isolate China, then war will not bring strategic benefits, but will instead make the country's situation more difficult.

The question is, can the East China Sea conflict improve China's situation?

The answer is obviously no, that is, whether China wins or not, it will become more isolated in the international community and may even be completely excluded from the global big family.

It is obviously unlikely to directly refute Wen Tinggui's view.

During the debate, Fu Xiubo put forward a new view, namely whether the current global pattern is conducive to China's long-term development.

It must be admitted that Fu Xiubo is an outstanding orator.

His new view fundamentally shakes Wen Tinggui's argument. If the current global pattern is not conducive to China's long-term development, then China will not need to act as a defender of the world situation, and there is even no reason to integrate into the international environment, but should choose a more favorable development model.

But, what is a more beneficial development method for China?

In addition, how much does it take to establish a more favorable development model?

Wen Tinggui did not let these two issues go easily, and took this opportunity to discuss the topic and had a very in-depth debate with Fu Xiubo on the development model of the country.

When Lu Fenglie came in, he was discussing this issue.

After Wen Tinggui finished speaking, Lu Fenglie walked to Fu Xiubo and whispered in the head of state.

Fu Xiubo's expression did not change at all, but he just nodded and let Lu Fenglie return to his position.

"Everyone, we have been discussing these issues for several hours. No matter what everyone's point of view, we can't continue to argue." Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "It's getting late. I have arranged a few side dishes. After dinner, we will continue to discuss."

When is it time to have supper?

However, no one had lunch, and it was a fact that they were hungry.

When the secretary came in to clean up the venue, Fu Xiubo gave instructions to Li Pingko and Huang Hanlin, asking them to entertain other leaders, and then called Lu Fenglie to the study.

Seeing this, other leaders knew that something must have happened, otherwise Fu Xiubo would not have been on the go.

However, in the head of state, there was no news at all.

After eating something casually, Fu Xiubo asked his secretary to call Huang Zhibo over. In order not to be seen by others, he also specifically reminded the secretary to take Huang Zhibo around from the back garden.

Taking this opportunity, Lu Fenglie also ate something.
