"Fan Wubing is a person who has made great contributions to military construction, especially naval construction. It has a great impact. You must mobilize all forces to search and rescue. This is not only a task assigned to you by the State Council, but also a task assigned to you by the Military Commission. The elders are particularly concerned about this matter and told us to report it to him twice a day. You must do it seriously and you can do it yourself." Boss Zhu said to Commander Shi on the phone.

"Yes, please rest assured, I'll do it myself." Commander Shi said.

After putting down the phone, Commander Shi immediately said to the staff officer, "Immediately ask Political Commissar Yang, Deputy Commander Guo, Deputy Commander Zhang, Chief of Staff Xue, and Deputy Chief of Staff Kong to come here. There are important things that need to be arranged."

The staff officer agreed, knowing that the problem that the six major navy giants could solve at the same time was obviously not a trivial matter, so he ran out to inform him, and within a few minutes, everyone rushed over.

After everyone came, Commander Shi did not say much. He simply talked about the tasks assigned by Boss Zhu and the Military Commissioner General, and then took out a large chart for everyone to watch. A combat staff member had already received the task at this time and pointed at an area on the chart with a baton and said to everyone, "Dear Masters, this is the location of Mr. Fan and others before the accident. According to the data provided by the Yacht Club to us, the fuel refueled in the yacht can only support a range of 400 nautical miles at most, so we have identified areas where possible problems are for reference."

After he finished speaking, he showed a large area on the chart, but in this case, the area that needs to be searched is quite large, especially the vast sea. If you want to find so many people, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After looking at the chart, everyone frowned, thinking that this time the task was heavy enough. Although it was only a few people, Boss Zhu and the Military Commission Commander made verbal requests at the same time. This is unique in the history of the navy. The meaning of searching and rescue is that all the resources of the navy can be mobilized. In addition to the nuclear submarines on combat readiness, other ships, naval aviation, combatants and non-combatants are all mobilized.

However, someone immediately put forward the opinions of narrowing the scope of search and rescue. Chief Xue suggested, "Marine search and rescue is more convenient to use. And based on common sense, it is better to conduct search and rescue within 150 nautical miles of the center of the circle, because although there is enough fuel on the yacht to travel 400 nautical miles, considering the influence of other factors, they will not advance all, and also take into account the return journey. Therefore, the radius of 150 kilometers is more reasonable. We might as well conduct search and rescue within this range. If nothing is found, consider expanding the scope of search and rescue."

Deputy Chief of Staff Kong also said, "The possibility of accidents in the six yachts at the same time is relatively small, so it is not ruled out that they stopped on a small island. There are also many unmanned islands in this area, so we should also pay attention to it."

"The Eastern Sea Fleet had just conducted an exercise in this sea area a few days ago. Let them pay attention to it and conduct a dragnet-style search and rescue. It is better to combine this search and rescue work with military training to avoid causing people to get upset." Political Commissar Yang considered many issues, and was worried that because the officers and soldiers knew that the trouble was entirely to find a few people, they suggested to Commander Shi.

Commander Shi nodded in agreement. "Old Yang's opinions must also be considered seriously, and the emotions of the troops need to be stable."

After stopping for a while, Commander Shi decided to say, "Then, search and rescue in this area with a radius of 150 nautical miles. All the ships that the troops can pull out to participate in this operation, saving people and training troops."

Deputy Commander Zhang said, "In this way, the consumption of oil and other supplies will be a huge expense, and now the military expenditure is not sufficient-"

"Don't worry!" Commander Shi waved his hand and saw that everyone was puzzled, he explained to them, "Don't mention the expenses this time, as someone will definitely reimburse them."

This time the entire army was dispatched. Even if Fan Wubing could not be found, Fan Heng's family would not be able to make everyone work in vain. Therefore, Commander Shi was not worried about any cost. With the strength of Fan's Investment Group, it would be a piece of cake to conduct such a full-army drill for hundreds of times?

Seeing that Commander Shi was so sure, everyone had a clear idea, so they began to prepare for this matter according to their division of responsibilities.

An hour later, all 15,000 people participating in the operation had been mobilized, and a dragnet-style screening began from the two areas in the south and the north. More than 200 ships of various types began to line up hundreds of kilometers along the starting position of the coastline, slowly advancing on the vast sea.

More than 150 helicopters belonging to the Naval Aviation Corps also took off in batches, providing navigation services to the fleet and conducting naked-eye searches on the waters below. A large-scale naval operation equivalent to a large-scale combat rehearsal officially kicked off.

The large-scale Navy's actions have attracted great attention from the international community, especially the Koreans and Japanese who are close to each other, and are urgently transferred to the domestic military force as if they are facing a great enemy to prevent any variables from China's armed actions.

US President Clinton was also very worried about China's military operations, because this operation had no signs in advance and their intelligence organizations did not show any information at all, which made him a little worried. So he contacted the Chinese government immediately and used the presidential hotline to talk to Chief No. 1.

"This is just a maritime search and rescue exercise, with no other political or military purposes," said Chief One.

Clinton naturally could not believe this explanation. In his opinion, the Chinese Navy, who was struggling to come suddenly, had a goal. Therefore, he had a sudden inspiration and expressed that in order to strengthen military cooperation between China and the United States, he hoped that the Seventh Fleet of the US Navy could form a joint exercise with the Chinese Navy, and said that they also had some experience in maritime search and rescue work, so everyone could share it.

Chief No. 1 naturally knew what the Americans thought, but he thought again that since there were coolies who came to his door for free, why didn’t he accept it with a smile? More staff would naturally be very beneficial to the progress of the search and rescue work, so he agreed to Clinton’s proposal and was willing to accept the other party’s “good intention”.

In this way, the navy's deployment will require some corresponding adjustments. After all, there has never been such a large-scale military operation cooperation with the US Navy before. The navy has always hated the US Seventh Fleet. This time, it is still a secondary opportunity to conduct a cooperative search and rescue operation, and many things need to be coordinated.

The Navy's senior executives, including Commander Shi, think there is nothing wrong with doing this. At least they can have close contact with the US Navy's Seventh Fleet. It may also be beneficial to improve their understanding and understand the American naval warfare model and sea-air cooperation model.

After Clinton got the Chinese side's Response, he immediately arranged for the deployment of the Seventh Fleet of the US Navy to cooperate with the exercise.

The US Navy has indeed rich experience in maritime search and rescue. However, this time, in addition to maritime search and rescue operations, it is more important to study the current equipment status and coordinated combat capabilities of the Chinese Navy, and conduct professional evaluations. Another purpose is to monitor the Chinese Navy to avoid any major events that stimulate the three parties of Japan, the United States and South Korea.

However, judging from the fact that Captain No. 1 promised to work together for search and rescue, Clinton and the US side felt that this time the incident should not be so nervous, but if nothing happened, how could they dispatch such a large-scale force? Isn’t it cost a lot of money to do this? It is really puzzling that the Chinese, who have always been very careful in calculating, suddenly made such a decision.

They were struggling here, but Fan Wubing, Shen Ying and Ye Jiarong happily spent the third day on the island.

Today, Fan Wubing and the others were also very lucky. A very large water bird fell on a big tree on the island. Fan Wubing smashed it with pebbles and put it on the branches to barbecue. The water bird's belly was filled with bird eggs and ingredients.

Speaking of ingredients, Fan Wubing actually found a few spices on the island, which just solved the big problem of food being tasteless. The fire was barbecuing underneath. Fan Wubing turned the branches and heated the water bird meat evenly. Oil kept falling into the flames, making a sizzling sound, and the aroma was emitting enough to make people salivate.

However, the two girls were not very emotional. After three days of fear, they had recovered a lot of their spirits. The internal organ shocks they received improved a lot under Fan Wubing's three-times-a-day massage of true qi. However, after gradually settled down on the island, Shen Ying and Ye Jiarong began to miss their parents at home.

"I don't know how my parents are doing now. I miss them very much-" Ye Jiarong's eyes were red, and tears rolled in her eyes, crystal clear.

Shen Ying hugged her shoulders, and she felt a little complicated in her heart. She missed her parents very much. Although she usually floated outside and didn't go home much, she was trapped on a deserted island at this time and was deserted. She didn't know if she could go back to the inner world, so her mood was naturally different.

Fan Wubing looked at the two girls crying at the cowboys and couldn't help but frown. He looked at the sea opposite, but there was still no change. Instead, a group of migrating seabirds kept flying overhead, as if there were tens of thousands so many.
