"As long as we don't take action, they will never take action first, so we can express our feelings directly without worrying so much!" Ye Fang said directly.

"Now no one can guarantee that the United States will not be the first to take action, and neither can you!" Many people at the conference table obviously did not believe that the United States would not take action first because of Ye Fang's impassioned speech. After all, the United States An aircraft carrier formation is watching eagerly from the outer sea. Who dares to report Ye Fang's extremely subjective judgment?

"I can, I have the bottom line of the US side!" Ye Fang said slowly.

"Do you have a bottom line on the US side?!"

Ye Fang's words caused the entire conference room to fall into dead silence again.

"How do you know the bottom line of the US side?"

Ye Fang smiled calmly and said, "You don't need to know how I know. You just need to know that my judgment is accurate. Diplomatic games are based on constant testing of the judgments of both sides' military and national strength development. At key nodes, Whoever fails to hold back first will lose, and whoever surrenders first will lose."

“What would you do if you were the head of foreign affairs?”

"It's very simple. The first step is to make the United States apologize!" Ye Fang said loudly.

"Apologise?! This should be difficult! What if they don't apologize?" someone asked.

"It's very simple! If you don't apologize, don't let him go!" Ye Fang said.

Just when everyone wanted to continue expressing their opinions, unexpectedly, the old man sitting in the chair interrupted the meeting and said slowly, "That's all for today's meeting." After that, he stood up and passed by Ye Youxin. Then he patted his shoulder gently.

Ye Youxin understood the meaning and immediately followed him. Ye Fang looked at the backs of Ye Youxin and the two leaving and wondered what it meant. Did he say the wrong thing?

"Did I say something wrong?" Ye Fang asked Nan Yi next to him.

Nan Yi yawned and said, "It's hard to say. Anyway, you won't do anything good wherever you go. Just do your work, I'm going to rest." After saying that, Nan stood up and slowly walked out of the conference room with the other people. The people at the conference table unconsciously looked at Ye Fang when they left, as if they all wanted to see what this young man who talked so freely looked like.

Just as Ye Fang was about to stand up and leave, the soldier at No. 6 of the conference table came over, reached out to Ye Fang and said, "Hello, my name is Zhao Yu, and I am a fighter pilot."

Ye Fang knew that the man in front of him was the comrade of the martyr and a heroic pilot. He stretched out his hand and said solemnly, "Ye Fang!"

"I was very inspired by what you said just now. I am a soldier, and I only know how to listen to the party's command and obey orders. I don't care about and don't understand the international and domestic situation. I think all I can do at this time is obey the country's arrangements. I believe that the motherland will uphold justice for us." Zhao Yu said solemnly.

"Believe in the country, believe in the party, we will definitely do it!" Ye Fang patted Zhao Yu's arm and said.

At this time, a soldier came over and asked Ye Fang to go to the reception room. The leader wanted to see him. Ye Fang knew that there must be merit in what he just said, so now someone wanted to talk to him in secret.

"I should be here these days. Let's talk again when we have the chance." After Ye Fang said that, he walked towards the room inside the conference room with the soldier. Zhao Yu looked at Ye Fang's leaving back, guessing in his heart. Ye Fang’s identity.

There was a secret room inside the conference room. There were soldiers standing guard outside the room. Ye Fang who came to the door was briefly searched and let in.

Walking into the reception room, Ye Fang saw the old man who was in charge just now sitting on the sofa and looking down at the documents. Ye Youxin, who was standing beside him, lowered his head and said to the old man, "Uncle Chi, Ye Fang is here."

The old man put down the documents, took off his spectacles and said to Ye Fang, "You are Ye Fang!"

"Yes, my name is Ye Fang." Ye Fang leaned forward slightly and looked at the old man and said, then glanced at Ye Youxin from the corner of his eye. Although Ye Youxin's face was expressionless, his eyes contained reproach, and he was probably still complaining. He just talked nonsense.

"Sit down. If you have a letter, you can also sit down." The old man gestured with his hand.

Ye Fang nodded slightly and sat down opposite, while Ye Youxin sat on the sofa on the side of the old man. At this time, the secretary was sitting not far away with a notebook to take notes.

The old man waved his hand and said calmly, "This meeting will not be recorded."

A flash of surprise flashed in the secretary's eyes, and he immediately put away his notebook and exited the room. The meaning of not recording has two meanings. The first is that there will be no written record of this meeting with Ye Fang, which means that no one will know the content of this conversation. The second is that even his secretary will not leave any written records. We couldn't be here, so the secretary took the initiative to leave.

"You're so brave, kid!" The old man suddenly shouted softly, which made Ye Fang perk up immediately. He originally thought that the old man was going to ask him for his specific views on the incident, but who knew that he was given a warning first, when the old man continued, "Jiutian is the most important intelligence machine of our party, and you actually mobilized resources to use him for profit without authorization. !”

"This..." The sudden change caught Ye Fang off guard. At this time, Ye Fang glanced at the old man opposite him, and then glanced at Ye Youxin next to him. He saw that there was no anger on their faces. Immediately I understood that the old man was not really angry, he was probably just taking the opportunity to beat himself up.

"Chief, when you gave Jiutian to me, you didn't say so many rules. Besides, since Jiutian was handed over to me, you should trust me. Since it is an important weapon of the country, of course I will not use it without permission. Besides, this time it will also earn foreign exchange for the country. Are you done? I have already admitted the mistakes that I should admit to... to my superiors. How about I promise not to make them again next time?" Ye Fang said matter-of-factly.

After hearing Ye Fang's words, the old man opposite was slightly stunned and couldn't help but smile, and said, "Good boy, you are the first one who dares to speak like this in front of me. You are worthy of being a descendant of the Ye family. You have the courage!" He turned back to Ye Youxin and said, "If this boy is well trained in the army, he will definitely shine on the Ye family in the future!"

"Boy, consider joining the army." The old man looked at Ye Fang with a smile and said.

"Chief, is this an order or a suggestion?" Ye Fang asked.

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "It's just a suggestion."

"If it's a suggestion, I won't consider it. There are already a lot of people in the Ye family serving as soldiers, so I won't join in the fun. Besides, my current status is considered half a soldier, the same, the same." Ye Fang said with a smile.

The old man shook his head with some regret and said, "You are a boy who was born with blessings and knows no blessings." The old man meant that if Ye Fang joins the army now, he can definitely create a world in the army with the Ye family's connections. In the future, the Ye family will It is only a matter of time before another general emerges from the third generation.

"Chief, no matter whether I join the army or not, I will serve the country!" Ye Fang said solemnly.

The old man nodded and said, "That's right. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore." The old man waved his hand and continued, "Let's get back to the topic, how do you know the bottom line of the US side?"

"This..." Ye Fang hesitated for a moment whether to tell the old man the information from Russia.

"Why, it's not convenient to say it, and it's not convenient to even hear my identity?" the old man asked with a laugh.

"Ye Fang, your Grandpa Chi used to be in charge of Jiutian. There is nothing you can't say in front of him, both public and private. What's more, there is no record today. Let's talk about it." From Ye Youxin's words, Ye Fangcai said Knowing that the surname of the old man opposite was Chi, which was very rare, and that Ye Fang had heard Nan Yi talk about some important people above, suddenly a person flashed through Ye Fang's mind, secretly saying that it turned out to be him.

Ye Fang thought again and again, agreed with what his third uncle Ye Youxin said, and said directly, "Did Russian President Putin tell me the news?"

"What?! Putin!"

At this time, it was the turn of the old man and Ye Youxin on the other side to become uneasy. If Ye Fang said that the information was obtained from Russia, even if he said that the information was obtained from the US military, they would not be surprised as senior cadres of our army. . But when Ye Fang said that Russian President Putin told him personally, the two of them felt that it was a bit fantasy. No matter how they thought, Russian President Putin could not have anything to do with Ye Fang.

Even China now maintains a certain diplomatic distance from Russia. The relationship between the two sides is not far, but not close. After all, Putin has just taken control of Russia's power, and the country's top leaders are also weighing how the international situation will develop in the future.

"Ye Fang, don't joke around, please reply properly!" Ye Youxin said, pretending to be angry.

"Third uncle, I'm serious. It's a long story. My trip to Turkey this time is also related to Russia..." Then Ye Fang told the old man and his third uncle Ye Youxin what happened. He told it once, but omitted the part about the Russian Petroleum Organization. It wasn't that Ye Fang didn't want to talk about it, but the more he talked about it, the more he explained.

"So that's how it is." The old man and Ye Youxin finally realized that Ye Fang and Putin still have this relationship. Although this relationship has ceased to exist in name only, Putin still trusts Ye Fang very much now and probably wants to use Ye Fang's help. to achieve a certain purpose.

"Third Uncle, I'm telling you this now. I haven't even mentioned it to Uncle Shan." Ye Fang said.

"Sooner or later he will know." Ye Youxin rolled his eyes at Ye Fang. Ye Fang could even hide the matter of marrying Putin from the Ye family. I have to say that this kid has a very good idea. If he doesn't restrain himself, he may not be able to tell. What else do you dare to do?

"Okay, in this case the credibility will be no problem. I will communicate with the capital immediately. Your opinion coincides with the national foreign affairs department." The old man said slowly.

Hearing what the old man said, Ye Fang sighed and said, "It turns out that the leaders have already decided, so why are they so anxious to invite us to the meeting?"

"What do you know, kid? This decision is the result of how many people above have made it! You can think of this level by yourself, which is amazing. The only thing that is not sure now is where the bottom line of the United States is. Now that you have This information makes this decision even better. After all, tomorrow will be the beginning of our official confrontation with Laos and the United States." The old man emphasized.

"These old beauties are really bullying people. If I am allowed to shoot someone behind the back, I will be the first to lead someone to do this." Ye Fang said.

The old man chuckled and said, "Even if it comes to that, it won't be your turn! You still have a very important mission this time."

"What mission?" Ye Fang asked.

"The reconnaissance aircraft of the United States are now in the base warehouse. You need to bring your people and the military and mechanical experts here to decipher the listening equipment. The aircraft and equipment of the United States are currently the most advanced in the world. The homework we missed can be Make amends from them, and you are responsible for leading people to collect as much valuable information as possible before this matter is solved perfectly, with the focus being on technical difficulties!" the old man emphasized.

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!" Ye Fang stood up, saluted the old man with a military salute, and shouted loudly.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." The old man said with a smile.

"Grandpa Chi, are the US troops on those planes also being detained at this base?" Ye Fang asked curiously.

"What, what do you want to do?" The old man now felt that Ye Fang seemed to be a trouble-prone master, so he immediately replied cautiously.

"Nothing. It involves the use of aircraft equipment. I want to see if I can find some breakthroughs from them." Ye Fang said.

"This is basically impossible. These American soldiers are very tough, and they have always had the attitude of "I am the best in the world" since they were imprisoned. They refused to cooperate with the investigation and were very arrogant. Considering that we will have to negotiate with the United States in the future, our side Temporarily detain them in the soldiers' dormitories at the base," Ye Youxin said.

Ye Fang nodded and said, "Since you leave this matter to me, please give me full authorization and allow me to interrogate these American soldiers at any time, is that okay?"

Ye Youxin did not dare to make his own decision. He turned to look at the old man for advice. The old man thought for a moment, then looked up at Ye Fang and solemnly said, "There is a high probability that these people will be handed over to the United States in the future. Even if they are interrogated, you must pay attention to the method." Methods must not be violent, so as not to leave an excuse for the United States in the future, which will put us in a disadvantageous situation in external negotiations."

"Don't worry, we are all professionals, and there will never be any torture to extract confessions. I came up with the ideas and ideas, and I will naturally pay attention to the international impact. You should be able to trust me on this point." Ye Fang promised .

"Okay, I can give you authorization, but as soon as possible! Once the United States relents, we will immediately return the plane and the US military." The old man replied.

"Thank you for your trust, chief. I will definitely complete this arduous and important task!" After saying this, Ye Fang took the initiative to exit the room.

The old man looked at Ye Fang's leaving figure and murmured, "Why do I feel so unsteady?"

Ye Youxin was a little embarrassed at this time and added, "Don't worry, Ye Fang still has a sense of proportion. Besides, I will also keep an eye on this matter."

"Okay, don't cause trouble." The old man emphasized repeatedly.

Ye Fang, who walked out of the building at this time, had an inexplicably excited smile on his face. He didn't notice Nan Yi hiding in a dark corner. He saw Nan Yi saying, "As soon as I saw your smile, I knew you were going to do bad things again!"
