"July, it is impossible to continue to maintain a mysterious feeling when you are here."

In the office, He Zhijun smiled and explained, "Even if you, the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet, did not attend the press conference today, foreign media must have known your situation clearly."

"If you don't believe it, if you go to the foreign newspaper tomorrow, you will definitely see a long description of your personal situation."

How could Su Qiuyue not know about the situation mentioned by Deputy Minister He?

At that moment, he smiled and said, "How do foreign media describe it? This is something I can't stop."

"But personally, the less you appear, the better. After all, you can't reveal the situation yourself."

Of course, He Zhijun can understand the meaning of Su Qiyue's words.

He is saying that foreign media or military intelligence departments can't stop them from obtaining their own information from other channels.

But what you can do is to keep a low profile and not give others the opportunity to understand yourself up close.

Although I dare not say how effective this will be, at least I can hide enough things.

At least, foreign intelligence agencies cannot directly learn about their own personality and temper.

After listening to Su Qiyue’s story, He Zhijun smiled relievedly.

Indeed, in the current era of multimedia gradual rise, Su Qiuyue's method of "receiving guests behind closed doors" still has a certain effect.

He did not accept media interviews and was dealt with in a cold manner, which is the result of his careful consideration.

After taking a sip of tea, He Zhijun sighed and said, "It's better not to show up. In today's scene, if you, the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet, show up, you may be on the headlines of several major foreign media tomorrow..."

There is no exaggeration in He Zhijun's words.

In recent years, with the increase in my country's national strength and military strength, more and more foreign media have begun to pay attention to this information.

Foreigners who often do similar reports have long been used to the age of 40 for domestic lieutenant colonels or above.

Suddenly a deputy division-level colonel in his 20s appeared, and the foreign media had to stir up the sensation immediately.

Next, long and rumored reports are indispensable.

Having reported too much, how can Su Qiuyue’s past be hidden?

Now he only left the identity and name of the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet, and let the foreign media speculate on the others, which is indeed beneficial to the smooth progress of the escort work.

On the other hand, it is also conducive to the above-mentioned protection of him personally.

"I'll set out tomorrow. I'll tell you some other things?"

After a while of silence, He Zhijun turned to the topic.

Su Qiuyue nodded slightly and said nothing more.

There is actually nothing to worry about about this escort mission.

With the combat power of the two missile cruisers, "Coconut City" and "Jiangcheng", even if all the pirates from the Gulf of Aden come together, they can only escape with their tails.

What Deputy Minister He wants to say is definitely not related to the specific actions.

"Originally, the given time for this escort operation was 80 days, that is, two and a half months."

"From the beginning of December to mid-February next year, it will just allow you to catch up with the exercise in Military Region C."

After hearing this, Su Qiyue realized something.

Needless to say, it should be that the above has given new instructions for the escort operation.

Time will probably be extended.

Sure enough, He Zhijun paused for a moment and quickly told the situation.

"Last last week, November 14, my country's "Tianyu No. 8" fishing boat was hijacked by Somali pirates in a certain waters in East Africa. 24 people, including 16 Chinese crew members, were taken hostage."

"In the past year, there has been an average of pirate attacks in the Somali waters of the Gulf of Aden every three days, and 42 ships from various countries have been hijacked. It can be said that the situation is getting worse and worse."

"Just last week, the rescue team for the 'Tianyu No. 8' fishing boat was established. The superior appointed me as the team leader. You are the deputy team leader..."

Listening to Deputy Minister He's explanation, Su Qiuyue probably understood.

Needless to say, the specific work of this rescue work team must be implemented through the escort fleet of its own deputy team leader.

Speaking of which, if there was no escort fleet, the hostage rescue mission this time should have also begun.

Either the country sent elite special forces personnel or asked the United Nations to come forward.

However, if you send people in China, you must first obtain permission from the Somali authorities.

If there is no special person among the hostages like the deputy general manager of China COSCO Group in the last incident, when will the approval process be completed?

Now it's just right that I'm going to take the escort fleet here, and it's natural that I'm appointed by the superiors to help resolve this incident.

While Su Qiyue was thinking about it secretly, He Zhijun had already explained the specific situation of the "Tianyu No. 8" fishing boat being held hostage.

"At present, the Somali authorities have reached a dialogue with the pirates who have held the fishing boat hostage. The rescue mission is actively being launched."

"Basically, the pirates' intentions are still very clear. They only need ransom and don't want to break the verge of death."

"And the crew members on Tianyu No. 8 are already working hard to collect the ransom."

He Zhijun paused for a moment and continued: "According to the current negotiation process, when your escort fleet arrives, both sides should be able to reach an agreement."

"Your mission is to bring the crew of Tianyu No. 8 to safety after the negotiations have made progress."

After listening to He Zhijun’s story, Su Qiuyue responded without any hesitation.

He Zhijun's story continues.

"Of course, this process may end soon, but it may also last for a long time. For your escort fleet, 80 days is definitely not enough."

"Conservatively estimated that it will take at least 100 days or even 120 days to end the entire escort operation."

"You must master the specific itinerary and timetable."

Listening to Deputy Minister He's instructions, Su Qiuyue nodded solemnly.

Indeed, since I am the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet, all situations must be considered carefully.

Including the arrangements after the hostages are rescued, these are all issues that you need to consider.

After talking about the changes in the itinerary, the expression on He Zhijun's face relaxed a little.

He gently patted Su Qiyue on the shoulder, and the leader smiled and said, "That's probably what happened. When there is still time, go back and explain it to Comrade Man Qing as soon as possible."

"Comrade Manqing must understand it if you return one or two months later than expected. It would be bad if you two couples have conflicts."

Upon hearing this, Su Qiyue calmly said, "No, Minister He. I have greeted her long ago."

"She has been pregnant for more than a month, and she is afraid she needs to stay at home during the Chinese New Year. If I can't come back, she will be able to take a few more days off."

Hearing this, He Zhijun suddenly smiled.

"Ha, it turns out that there is such a happy event in your family in July. Looking back, I will ask Comrade Xiaoyun to be the representative and go see Comrade Manqing more."

Listening to the leader's concern, Su Qiyue said: "Minister, there is no need for this. Comrade Xiaoyun is also busy with work, so I assigned her a lot of tasks..."

He Zhijun waved his hand and said, "No matter how busy you are, there is still time. OK, don't ask about these things in July. I'll arrange them on Comrade Xiaoyun."

Vice Minister He said this, Su Qiuyue couldn't refuse anything else.

The two chatted for a while, and the press conference on the TV screen had come to an end.

He Zhijun seemed to have thought of something again, so he looked at Su Qiuyue with a sigh.

"By the way, in July. C Military Region, there will be an exercise in February, and you probably can't participate."

"Look back, Comrade Minsheng and I will tell you and Brigade Commander Shi to inform you."

Their military region will hold a confrontation between digital troops after the New Year. Su Qiuyue had heard the brigade commander Shi Qingsong mention it before.

Originally, Brigade Commander Shi was thinking that Su Qiyue could come back in time to help him fight this battle.

But the escort operation may be delayed for a long time now, and Su Qiuyue can only helplessly.

However, although he could not come to the scene to assist the brigade commander, Su Qiuyue was not helping at all.

During the period when he was in charge of the special operations base, he studied several sets of digital confrontation tactics for the W Brigade.

Su Qiyue had already asked Long Xiaoyun to copy these tactical samples back.

Brigade Commander Shi saw these samples, and he was able to enrich his tactics.

Speaking of which, although compared with several other digital troops, the W Brigade started a little later.

However, over the past year, the development of digital operations has been very fast.

Especially after the 1st Tank Battalion and the 1st Armored Infantry Battalion were digitally integrated, their strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

In Su Qiyue's opinion, the joint efforts of these two troops can almost stand the strength of half a brigade.

In addition, the Wolf Warrior Squadron, which has infinite possibilities, was considered an opponent by Su Qiuyue in the military region, and only Fan Yingming was the only one.

Of course, this is a comparison of digital troops under the same size.

If you include the master, Zhu Haipeng's Master C can obviously pose a threat to his own brigade.

At this time, after hearing Deputy Minister He’s reminder, Su Qiyue calmly said: “The W Brigade is definitely fine. Brigade Commander Shi is under his command, and they are all the victorious troops.”

He Zhijun also came from Military Region C, so of course he knew Shi Qingsong's name.

He smiled and nodded, saying nothing more.

...

At a deep-water dock in Qiongzhou Bay, three warships sailed out of the military port in turn.

In front of them are two missile destroyers "Coconut City" and "Jiangcheng".

Behind the two destroyers is the "Dangshan Lake" comprehensive supply ship.

These three warships are all the ships in China's first escort operation.
