Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"You mean we can take advantage of this to seize Xian Port and then use it to blackmail them into releasing our people?"

"No, no, no, you didn't listen to me carefully. I didn't tell you to take the city. Even if you did, it would be useless. First, you wouldn't be able to hold it, and second, it would ruin your reputation."

Using the entire city's population as leverage—wouldn't that turn us into terrorists? You want to resist? This kind of situation won't work!

"So what do you mean?"

"Attack the headquarters of the Huiluo Command directly and capture their military leaders. Only by capturing their key military figures will they be willing to negotiate with you and make an exchange."

Important government figures are useless; only important military figures are effective. I think you understand the logic behind this better than I do. As for the common people, the Y country government doesn't care about their lives.

"What you said makes a lot of sense!" Li Wenliang thought for a while before nodding through gritted teeth: "They really never care about the lives of ordinary people. Those politicians only know how to fawn over the United States!"

However, with our current strength, it's impossible for us to breach the Luo An command headquarters.

"If you can't defeat them by force, then outsmart them."

"How to outsmart them?"

An Xiaohai smiled slightly, crossed his arms, and leaned back on the sofa.

"Brother Hai, name your price."

"Name your price..." An Xiaohai licked his lips: "I'm just giving you suggestions as a personal person, and I haven't consumed any of the organization's resources. Theoretically, I can't take your money."

I hope we can exchange resources, share what we have, collaborate, and achieve a win-win situation.

"That's even better. What do you need us to do?"

Are you sure you want to cooperate with us?

"Sure!"

"Alright, then we can make some adjustments to our plan. I need to think about it. Please wait a moment."

"Okay!" Li Wenliang nodded heavily, whispered a few words to the person next to him, and that person immediately left, and soon brought in a sumptuous late-night snack.

"I think you can help us get some weapons and coordinate some actions with us. This will greatly reduce the difficulty of our mission. In return, I can help you draft a detailed plan."

"No problem. What weapons do you need? How should we cooperate?"

"I need some air-to-ground missiles for armed helicopters. They don't need to be too good, just enough to blow up a speedboat."

The actions you take to cooperate with us are very simple. You don't need to risk your lives; you just need to help us figure out the troop deployments near the Rhodes Islands.

"make a deal!"

"happy!

Yesterday, I dropped a bomb at Rhodes Prison, and the Roan Fleet immediately took action. Judging from their actions, it seemed like they had set a trap for us, waiting for us to walk right into it.

"Did you carry out the bombing at Rhodes Prison? Why would you do it? Why did you needlessly draw their attention?"

"Because we need to distract them!" An Xiaohai took a breath and continued, "I heard that General Hu Zuokeng, the commander of the Luo'an Command, is a very wise general with a lot of practical experience."

A wise person thinks much more than the average person!

We are not familiar with the Rhodes Islands, nor do we have the time to get to know them properly; time is money.

If we approach the target in the normal way, it would be easy for General Hu Zuokeng to discover our true purpose.

However, if we proactively reveal our true objective from the outset, the wise General Hu Zuokeng might very well turn his attention away.

After all, in his mind, his opponent would not do anything meaningless or anything that would easily expose his target. He would think that this was a trick by his opponent to lure him away from his mountain, and he would focus his defense on the places he considered important.

In this way, he will definitely mobilize his troops, and we can take this opportunity to figure out his deployment and then formulate a targeted plan.

This is called "knocking on the mountain to scare the tiger."

An Xiaohai paused here, looking at Li Wenliang with great interest. Li Wenliang pondered An Xiaohai's words, his expression constantly changing. Finally, he exchanged a glance with the person next to him, both of them filled with shock.

"I understand. How do we need to cooperate?"

"How can we cooperate?... Now try to put yourself in our shoes. If you were General Hu Zuokeng, what would you think our goal be?"

"If I were Hu Zuokeng..." Li Wenliang frowned and thought for a long time before speaking, "I would think that your target is Xiangang."

Why?

"Hu Zuokeng may have already regarded you as one of us. He is a very arrogant person. He believes that we would not dare to attack the Luoan Command, and we certainly do not have that strength."

However, if we make a big fuss in Santorini and it turns into a major international event, they will be in a very passive position!

Therefore, I believe that Hu Zuokeng's main defensive focus should be on Senkong!

At this moment, Li Wenliang had completely calmed down, and his mind seemed to be working again under An Xiaohai's constant guidance.

"You make a good point. Then let's find a way to solidify General Hu Zuokeng's judgment and draw all his forces to Xian Port. If we succeed, Commander Luo An, hehe."

"What do you think we should do?!" Li Wenliang was startled and asked anxiously.

"First, you should send some reliable people to operate in the Rhodes Islands. They should be discreet, but not deliberately so. You should give Hu Zuokeng the illusion that your goal is to draw their attention to the Rhodes Islands."

"and then?"

"Then we need to use more covert methods to probe the strengths and weaknesses of Xian Port. The more covert the better. Don't worry about them not finding out. We need to create the impression that we are really going to take action against Xian Port."

"What if he really doesn't notice?"

"Impossible!" An Xiaohai smiled slightly: "If he didn't even have this much ability, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

Li Wenliang shuddered again, gasped several times, and finally nodded slowly: "I understand! Thank you for reminding me! I understand!"

"Good to know! Xian Port is very large and not so easy to defend. In addition, General Hu Zuokeng is confident that he will not give up Rhodes Islands, nor will he give up setting a trap for us to wipe us out in one fell swoop."

In this way, the forces of the Luo An Command will be greatly dispersed and will immediately become weak.

In this situation, as long as you operate properly, is it difficult to break in and capture several of their important generals?

I don't think it's difficult. As long as you have no designs on Luo'an City, go straight for the kill and concentrate all your forces to attack their headquarters. You might even be able to capture General Hu Zuokeng himself.

With that in mind, why worry about not being able to win back your own comrades? If you really succeed, I think the benefits you gain will be far more than just winning back a few important comrades.

There's so much room for imagination!

Finally, I want to solemnly remind you again that I don't know how you got the news that your comrade was imprisoned in Rhodes Prison.

This news could be true, or it could be a trap. They are deliberately luring you to attack Rhodes Prison, and then using that opportunity to wipe you all out.

So don't let them lead you by the nose, and don't keep your eyes glued to your comrades.

There are many ways to achieve a goal. Don't put all your eggs in one basket; that's too passive. Broaden your horizons.

Even if we assume your intelligence is correct and your comrades are indeed imprisoned in Rhodes Prison, your forced attack on Rhodes Prison to rescue them will certainly result in significant losses. Is it worth sacrificing a group of key members and severely damaging the organization's strength just to save a few people?

Let's broaden our thinking!

An Xiaohai's words plunged Li Wenliang and the others into a long silence. An Xiaohai picked up his midnight snack and started eating; he was indeed a little hungry.

Thank you! Thank you so much, your suggestions have been very helpful!

"Please give us some time, we need to think about it carefully!" After about half an hour, Li Wenliang finally let out a long breath and said very solemnly.

"That's right. You must think things through carefully before making a decision. The more cautious you are, the more confident I will be in cooperating with you. After all, we're all risking our lives to make money."

"Thank you for your understanding. When do you expect to take action?"

"My original date was the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow! Time is too tight! In such a short time, we simply don't have enough manpower to do all this."

"This is a bit tricky..." An Xiaohai stroked his chin. "How about this, you think it over first, and if you decide to cooperate with us, give me a clear answer before tomorrow night, and I can postpone our operation."

However, I can't postpone it for too long, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to our clients.

Of course, if you don't want to play with us, that's fine too. You must stay here before our operation begins and cannot contact the outside world. Once our operation is over, the restrictions will be lifted.

That way, we can still be friends in the future. I hope you understand. The decision is yours.

As An Xiaohai spoke, he stood up. Xu Tianyou also stood up and made a fawning gesture of invitation, which made An Xiaohai want to kick him again.

"Brother Hai! Your request is reasonable. You and your brothers should stay here. Please give me a chance to make amends. Please stay!"

"Thank you, but no, we have our own place. You brought quite a few brothers with you this time, so let's use this place to settle them. That way, everyone will be safe."

I'll leave one of my brothers with you. If you make a decision, just tell him, and he'll let me know.

"Okay, it's a deal! Thank you, Brother Hai! We'll definitely make a decision as soon as possible!"

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

An Xiaohai smiled slightly, turned around and left.
