Chapter 722 Touching the Taboo of Sakura Country
Bunitalia's army poured into the Itsukushima base, but they did not do anything out of the ordinary. Their only mission was to safely pick up Yang Hui and Cornelia.
"You said you had prepared such a back-up plan." On the helicopter, Cornelia took off her helmet and exposed her true identity.
"If I say I don't know, do you believe it?" Yang Hui said to Cornelia awkwardly.
"Ah?" Cornelia was stunned.
"I just asked Jeremiah to send a telegram to the fleet in advance, asking the fleet to pick up the four of them at the designated location, and by the way, to stop Akamatsu's fleet, and did not let them pick us up." Yang Hui explained.
"Is this...really?"
"Really."
"Well... this foresight is good, but is this considered making up for the mistake?"
Yang Hui spread his hands at Cornelia's guess. If this was really the fleet's temporary commander's self-assertion, then this commander was really good. He could make judgments and decisions in advance without knowing the detailed combat plan and send people to pick up Yang Hui and Cornelia.
Surrounded by the soldiers of Sakura Country, Cornelia and Regini Regetta were indeed frightened, but Yang Hui knew that there would be no danger. After all, Akamatsu didn't dare to touch them now. Even if the temptation in front of him was great, he had to hold back. After all, the two outstanding princes and princesses had something wrong in Sakura Country, and Sakura Country couldn't bear the anger of Bunitaria.
Therefore, the biggest danger they need to face is the stress response of the finger joints under high tension, commonly known as... misfire.
"Imperial sister, the first phase of the exercise is over, is there a second phase?" Yang Hui asked Cornelia. The second phase of the exercise was arranged for the two armies to confront each other, but now it seems that there is no point.
"It's unnecessary, it's just a waste of time."
The Itsukushima base, known as the [Future of Sakura Country], is the most heavily defended military base in Sakura Country, but it was still breached by the three Knightmares of Yang Hui, Cornelia and Regini Regetta.
Of course, there are subjective or objective reasons, such as the unknown performance of the new generation of Knightmare, Akamatsu's absence from the Itsukushima base to personally command, Yang Hui and Cornelia's violation of the exercise rules, resulting in Sakura Country's lack of preparation...
But arrogance and underestimation of the enemy are certain. Not only the Itsukushima base, but even Akamatsu himself was careless, which gave Yang Hui an opportunity to take advantage of. If Akamatsu had not been delayed by Jeremiah and the other four for so long and rushed back to Itsukushima base as soon as possible, the outcome would still be unknown.
Moreover, this also allowed Yang Hui and Cornelia to roughly grasp the situation inside the Itsukushima base. In Cornelia's view, the previous exercise was already a confrontation exercise between the Sakura Country Army and the Bnitalia Army, and there was no need to waste time again.
"Don't underestimate the enemy, sister." Yang Hui could see Cornelia's contempt and disdain for Sakura Country, so he reminded her, "On the one hand, they suffered from the rules of the exercise, and on the other hand, they suffered from the lack of intelligence, especially because I don't have much intelligence."
"Don't worry, I won't make such a small mistake."
"That's good."
Yang Hui definitely looked down on the Sakura Country army, but a lion will fight a rabbit with all its strength. You can despise the opponent strategically, but you must pay attention to the opponent tactically. Akamatsu, the old thief who survived the last war and is still alive today, is very smart.
Moreover, Akamatsu guessed the target of Yang Hui and Cornelia without any intelligence support, which led to their exposure in the town and being hunted down. In this regard, no commander of Sakura Country can compare to Akamatsu.
If it were someone else, they would probably still be playing around in the original exercise area.
All the way back to the fleet, a group of high-ranking officers of Bunitaliya, led by the temporary commander-in-chief, greeted Yang Hui and Cornelia's return with fear and trepidation. The fleet was quietly infiltrated and the most advanced machine of the empire was stolen. These are undisputed facts, and they must be held accountable.
"Well done."
Walking in front of them, Cornelia praised the temporary commander-in-chief, which made them feel relieved. Fortunately, they were smart and decisive at the time and made up for their mistakes.
But the next second, they began to be nervous again, because...
"But merits are merits, and faults are faults. I will receive your combat summary report within today, and I will read it carefully, and everyone's will be read carefully."
"Ye... Yes, your highness!" XN
After each of them dispersed, Yang Hui and Cornelia also returned to their cabins. To be honest, this game of "playing" pirates not only eliminated her boredom and restlessness, but also benefited her a lot.
Infiltration, sneak attacks, disguised reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, etc., the combat methods of small-scale elite forces were used to the fullest by Yang Hui, which made her fully realize the important role that small-scale elite forces can play in a war.
Even though Yang Hui is alone, many situations cannot be replicated on other people, but it does not mean that the special operations methods of small-scale elite forces are useless.
In the past, Cornelia only knew but never used it. On the one hand, her style was to face the enemy head-on with the general trend, and she did not think much of the special forces' combat methods of sabotaging behind enemy lines, thinking that it was a crooked way.
On the other hand, her subordinates did not have such outstanding special operations personnel, and they could play very few roles, and often suffered heavy losses, which made her choose to turn a blind eye to the special operations methods.
But now, she had to pay attention to it again, because the destructive power of excellent special operations forces was too strong. Even if she didn't use it herself in the future, she could prevent others from using it on her after she was familiar with it.
"What are you doing?" Seeing Yang Hui holding the computer and dancing his hands back and forth on the keyboard, Cornelia asked curiously.
"I brought something back from Itsukushima Base and am deciphering their key."
"Huh? Brought back from Itsukushima Base?" Cornelia was surprised.
"Well, during the time when I was talking to Akamatsu, I copied some things from the database of Itsukushima Base. This information is encrypted, and it is multi-encrypted."
"Haha, it seems that we won the prize again." Cornelia was very happy and excited. All the information of Itsukushima Base was very important to the Bnitalia Empire. They only blasted open the gate of Itsukushima Base this time, and then destroyed the ammunition depot and the command center in the first place. It was considered that they went around Itsukushima Base and got the structure and distribution map of the entire base.
Of course, this is just on the ground.
But more importantly, it must be the various data stored in the database. Cornelia thought that she had no chance to get these important intelligence at that time, so she simply gave up. Unexpectedly, Yang Hui actually got it.
Moreover, the multi-encrypted data must be top secret among the top secret.
"It should be. These encryption procedures are a bit complicated. General information is not worth it."
"Can you unlock it?"
"Of course... Here, it's done." After hitting the last enter key, the password lock was completely cracked, and the Christmas gift hidden in the box finally revealed its true face.
"Hey! Sister, we really won the prize!" Clicking on the first file, Yang Hui and Cornelia's mood can be described as ecstasy, because the first document is a detailed architectural blueprint of the Itsukushima base, including two areas above ground and underground, and even marked what each place is used for, as detailed as possible.
"Well, with this blueprint, it will be easier for us to break through the Itsukushima base."
The two kept reading, feeling more and more happy. Every piece of information in it is very important to the empire, and the importance of the whole is no less than Cornelia's [Ten].
Until the last one, the ecstasy on Yang Hui and Cornelia's faces disappeared, replaced by solemnity, especially Cornelia, whose expression was even darker and more terrifying.
"Damn the little devils, they dared to study nuclear bombs in secret! That is a taboo explicitly prohibited by the international community!"
"They are very brave and have some skills. Judging from the data... they are about to succeed."
"Damn it!"
Nuclear bombs, no matter which world, any country, or anyone will mention it, the terrifying thing is not only its power, but also the radiation left after the explosion. It is the natural enemy of life, the nemesis of living things, and the terrible destroyer of nature.
The Sakura Kingdom still claims to be the "fourth most powerful military country in the world". Once the nuclear bomb research is successful, this claim can be discarded, and it can even climb up and squeeze out the Bunitalia Empire, which ranks first.
"I will immediately send this information back to the imperial capital and ask my father to come forward to attack the Sakura Kingdom. Such things must not be allowed to exist!" Cornelia was furious and was ready to expose this matter to the world to unite and attack the Sakura Kingdom and kill this bud in the cradle, but Yang Hui held him back.
"It's useless." Yang Hui shook his head at Cornelia. "He won't care about these things. The Empire has been eyeing the Sakura Stone Mine in Sakura Country for a long time. Even if he knew the news, he and his people would never make it public. Instead, they would secretly declare war on Sakura Country and swallow up the country themselves."
"Okay! Then just declare war!" Cornelia said confidently, "While they haven't succeeded yet, just take down this country! Put an end to their conspiracy."
"It's not the time yet, sister." Yang Hui calmly analyzed the current situation. "The Empire's reputation in the international community is already very bad. He doesn't care, but we can't care. If we declare war unilaterally like Africa, even with this intelligence as a reason, it will only make the same The forces that are eyeing Sakura Country think that this is false information that we are trying to take over Sakura Country alone.
Moreover, they will definitely intervene and ask for a share of the spoils. With our current military strength, we cannot take over the entire Sakura Country before other forces intervene. Once they intervene, the matter will become complicated. "
"Then destroy them all. The Empire is never afraid of any enemy..."
"Then start a world war?"
"...Tsk!" Cornelia looked aggrieved. She was not arrogant, but confident. Bunitaria was indeed qualified to stand at the top of the world and overlook other forces, but she did not want to trigger a world war. It was too complicated and too troublesome. If a world war broke out, Bunitaria would likely become the target of public criticism.
Cornelia was not worried that the Empire would be defeated, but it would definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Yang Hui, what are your plans? You must not let these little devils succeed."
"...wait."
"Wait?"
"Yes, wait." Yang Hui said calmly, "Wait for them to succeed, wait for them to provoke the conflict between Sakura Country and our country, and they launch a nuclear bomb..."
"What!? You want to wait for them to succeed!?"
"Yes, I will also wait for them to successfully launch it, so that they can give us the reason for starting a war."
"But... that's a nuclear bomb! Once launched..."
"Sister, there's something only you can do."
"... What is it?"
"Immediately deploy the latest interception system in the military camp in the concession, and let a satellite monitor Sakura Country 24 hours a day. I don't have enough authority, so you have to do it."
