After coming out of the meeting room, the old man said to them directly, "go to the canteen!"

"Are you hungry?" Xu Shaotang asked.

"No!" The old man said, "first, let's see how the soldiers eat. In modern war, besides the competition of high-end weapons, the competition of soldiers' physical fitness is also very important. If they can't eat well, what area should they fight with the enemy?"

After listening to the old man, they immediately went to the canteen.

When they came, it happened to be a meal. Officers and soldiers at all levels in the canteen were eating in the canteen. When they saw the old man who came in under the protection of Xu Shaotang, they all stood up, and many people even had no time to wipe the stains on the corners of their mouths.

"Everybody sit down and eat. Don't be stiff. Just think I'm not here." The old man said with a smile.

Although the old man said so, everyone stood upright and no one sat down.

The old man frowned slightly and said harshly, "sit down and eat!"

Seeing that everyone was still standing upright, the old man had to force everyone to sit down in the tone of command.

After hearing the old man's order, everyone sat down in a neat and uniform posture. Although everyone was eating according to the old man's order, they were not relaxed in their hearts. Even their eating movements seemed a little stiff.

The old man walked in the canteen at will, looking at the food in the soldiers' plates, until he was sure that everyone was eating well, the old man slowly left the canteen.

Originally, he wanted to sit down and taste the food the soldiers ate, but he thought that if he stayed here, everyone would not be able to eat, so he had to give up his mind.

After coming out of the canteen, the old man called Sheng Yaping, commander of Zhoushan naval base.

Sheng Yaping, who received the notice, rushed over and saluted: "what instructions does the chief have?"

"Take the expedition to the sea with me!" The old man said lightly.

"This..." Sheng Yaping was startled by the old man's words and said tentatively, "chief, this is not good. No one can tell the sea situation clearly. It's your safety that matters."

"If you don't go to the high seas, just turn around in our waters!" Looking at the sea not far away, the old man said to Sheng Yaping, "if there are problems in our territory, it's your problem."

Although the old man's words are not serious, his attitude has been very firm. Sheng Yaping has no choice but to look at the old man. He knows in his heart that if he doesn't want to go aboard the expedition to see the vast sea area of China, the old man will not give up. In desperation, Sheng Yaping has to make arrangements immediately.

An hour later, after a series of emergency security checks, the expeditionary aircraft carrier slowly left the military port.

"That song Yinian that old guy went out with the expedition once?" Standing on the deck of the expedition, the old man looked at the endless sea and asked Xu Shaotang.

"Er..." Xu Shaotang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, faltering and saying: "old man, don't you want to learn from old song?"

Xu Shaotang was really frightened by the old man's words. He didn't know whether he was just talking about it or whether he really had this plan. If the old man really wanted to learn from Song Yinian, they would have a lot of fun.

"Why not?" The old man drew back his eyes, turned to the deck under his feet, and sighed: "for so many years, a lot of things in China have come from nothing. We have come to this day step by step. I don't know how many lives we have paid for them, especially the Navy. If we had these equipment in the early years, how could we be bullied by those countries, alas!"

Speaking of this, the old man sighed heavily. Maybe he thought of the soldiers who sacrificed for his country.

"Chief, don't worry, our Huaxia is not the same as it was." Sheng Yaping's eyes firmly said: "now, we have the ability to annihilate any enemy! Who wants to invade China? Let's first ask our strong ship and cannon if they agree! "

Sheng Yaping's words are sonorous and forceful. It's not hard to see that this is also an iron general, the kind who is ready to die for the national disaster at any time.

After years of development, Huaxia is no longer the backward country that was bullied. Although its military strength is still inferior to those military powers, its overall strength has leaped into the top ranks in the world. If it continues to develop according to the current progress, it may not be able to become the world's first power.

However, if you want to become the world's first powerful country, you need to prove your strength by war, and the price to be paid is extremely huge. You don't know how many lives you have to fill in.

"Well, it's good that you have such confidence!" The old man walked out a few steps slowly and walked towards the front of the aircraft carrier deck. The cold sea breeze hit him head-on. Even Sheng Yaping, a general in his prime, felt the piercing cold. But the old man stood upright in the front of the deck and let the cold sea breeze beat his old face. "General Sheng, I'll ask you a question and you can answer it honestly.""Yes! Excuse me, chief

The old man put his hands behind him and looked back at Sheng Yaping standing at attention. He asked, "if we are going to cooperate with North America, how do you think we have a chance of winning?"

Xu Shaotang and the golden tiger and iron leopard were startled to hear the sudden question from the old man. Listen to the old man's meaning, is China ready to fight with North America?

Although everyone knows that the coming of this war will be inevitable, if it is now, it is really beyond everyone's expectation. Is the purpose of the old man's visit to the south is to inspect the combat effectiveness of the navy of the Annan military region, so as to decide whether to go to war with North America?

This sudden news really surprised everyone. Sheng Yaping was shocked for a long time before he came back to himself. After thinking about the question just asked by the old man for a long time, he sighed: "to be honest, there is still a certain gap between us and North America in terms of weapons and equipment. If we don't use special weapons, our winning rate should be less than 30%, but North America wants to win But there is no possibility for Linghua Xia. If special weapons are used, it may be a result of losing both sides in the end. "

Without the use of special weapons, he actually said that the three Chengdu cities are a little higher. After all, China has been devastated by war for more than 100 years, but there has never been a big war in North America. This alone has created a huge gap.

As a commander, although he is not willing to admit it, he must be aware of the gap with his opponent.
