One Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty-Nine Tacit Understanding

John sighed and rubbed his temples: "Carter is right, Beidu did put a lot of pressure on us, but I know all about this. I didn't come here to talk to you, but to find a way, to find a way understand?"

He knew very well that the Resistance Army could not be Beidu's opponent. Although Beidu only had one aircraft carrier battle group near Australia, there were still space battleships in the sky, which the Resistance Army could not resist!

In order to avoid direct confrontation, John issued several statements in succession, not hesitate to expose the contradictions within the Resistance Army, disclose the truth about the army, and explain the innocence of the top brass of the Resistance Army. However, no matter how he explained, Beidu never responded, which made him immediately annoyed. I was scared and had no choice but to call all the top brass of the Resistance Army back and sit together to discuss a solution.

Everyone fell silent. After a while, Carter hesitated to break the silence: "Should... evacuate the cities on the air raid list in advance?"

"What about the cities that are not on the list?" Rand asked bluntly, "To withdraw or not to withdraw?"

"If you want to withdraw, then withdraw them all. Beidu may not carry out air strikes according to the list, so we can't take any chances!" Carter said.

John's face was gloomy, unable to make a decision for a long time.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but it's really hard to make this determination.

Although the resistance forces are all bugs, they are all bugs who have returned to normal. Their living habits are no different from humans. No one is used to living in caves at all. They all like to live in cities.

At present, every city in Australia is a stronghold of the Resistance Army. How can it be said that hundreds of thousands of Insects can be evacuated? After leaving the city, what do so many people eat and drink? How to survive the cold winter nights?

But not withdrawing?

What if we don’t evacuate and there is a non-list bombing in Beidu? Hundreds of thousands of bugs are indeed a lot, but the overall strength is really not that strong. He can still bear the loss of 3,500 John, but if there are more, he will have a heart attack.

After thinking about it, John gritted his teeth and said: "All cities on the list are evacuated. For cities that are not on the list, everyone must evacuate into underground bunkers. Let's do it like this."

Everyone was silent for a while again. This time it was Mick who broke the silence: "BOSS, if the plane from Beidu comes, can we intercept it?"

John's expression became even more ugly, and he hesitated for a long time before shaking his head: "It depends on the situation, if...if the air strike is indeed carried out at the announced time and place, then there will be no interception."

"What if not?" Mick asked again.

"Then stop it!" John said through gritted teeth.

"I understand," Mick said.

Shortly after the Resistance Army meeting ended, Youzhou received an air raid order from Beidu. The drones on the ship took off half of the air at a time, and all the aircraft were divided into two groups and rushed to different cities.

The special service team was still hiding in the jungle outside the abandoned city. When Xiao Yuan heard the dull roar of the drones flying across the sky, he couldn't help but look up and checked the flight direction of the fleet: "One is heading east and the other is heading south. It’s right, the time is about the same...it’s really fun!”

According to the information disclosed by the Northern Capital, there were two cities targeted in the first round of air strikes, one in the east and one in the south. So far, everything is consistent with the information disclosed by the Northern Capital.

Luo Qi was surprised and turned to look at Ye Han: "Captain, what are the bosses thinking? Why do they disclose the time?"

"Can't figure it out again?" Ye Han raised his eyebrows and pretended to be secretive.

Ouyang Ping said: "Captain, just tell us!"

Ye Han smiled and said: "I guess this is to bring the insect people back to the negotiation table so that they don't dare to make small moves again!"

"Ah? No way?" Xiao Yuan scratched the back of his head, "Where do these things go? Are they compatible?"

Ye Han said: "I don't know much about it. Anyway, what should be bombed must be bombed, but the resistance must be known before bombing... Have you heard of the Jinmen Artillery Battle?"

"I've heard of it!" Xiao Yuan said.

Ouyang Ping and Luo Qi didn't speak, but they nodded in unison. Tao Chengyu and Liu Xingguo remained silent, only wearing their ears but not their mouths.

Ye Han said: "I remember at that time it was one, three, five, and two, four, and six. In short, it was quite regular. It was to maintain pressure and hold on to Chiang Kai-shek to prevent him from giving up Jinmen."

"What's the truth?" Luo Qi asked.

"I don't have that level, so I can't tell what the reason is. I know that the United States supported the Wanwan at that time. If Chiang Kai-shek gave up Kinmen, the Wanwan might become independent."

The more everyone listened, the more confused they became. Xiao Yuan rushed to ask: "If you fight now and then don't fight, then you won't be independent?"

Ye Han spread his hands: "That's what I said when I read the information. It was true that I didn't become independent later. But I really can't explain what the reason is. I just feel that what Beidu is doing now is a bit similar to what it was back then."

"It's not a bit different, it's basically the same thing!" Xiao Yuan said, "Zhengzhi's stuff is so complicated that we ordinary people can't play it at all. Let the superiors play whatever they want. We just have to obey orders."

Ouyang Ping said: "I seem to understand a little bit... Let's be honest. Chiang Kai-shek is not very good at fighting. Zhengzhi still has some skills. He has a tacit understanding with Taizu, but does the resistance army have that level?"

"Only a ghost knows this!" Ye Han said.

Luo Qi said worriedly: "What if the resistance army doesn't understand?"

"We can do whatever we want!" Xiao Yuan said, "We can do whatever the superiors order us to do. Do we need to worry about these bad things?"

"It's rough words but not rough words!" Ye Han said, "Let's just do our own thing well."

Several people quickly put aside this heavy topic and chatted about everything. At the same time, two waves of drones flew over the target. One wave arrived just at the scheduled time, immediately launched an air strike on the target city, dropped the bombs it carried, and returned calmly.

The other wave was a little faster, and arrived at the target before the scheduled time. The fleet hovered over the target for two minutes very patiently, and waited until the scheduled time before dropping bombs on the target city.

Not long after, the first round of air strikes ended.

The second round of air strikes in the afternoon was basically a replica of the morning. The whole process was uneventful and exactly the same as what Beidu had disclosed.

John breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this news.

Although he was not a political talent, he could judge from Beidu's actions that Beidu did not intend to completely break up with the resistance army. Although the air strikes directly hit the resistance army in the face, everything was under control. Both Beidu and the resistance army maintained restraint to a certain extent, and this was the basis for both sides to return to the negotiation table!

The problem John is facing now is not the air strike, but the need to resolve the internal problems of the resistance army as soon as possible and find out the bastard who is causing the trouble. Otherwise, there will be no results if the two sides resume negotiations, and there may even be a second city abandonment incident.
