Chapter 1377 The Feast at Hongmen: Those Who Came Were Not Well-Intentioned

"Okay, okay, stop fooling around, stop fooling around."

"If you keep making a fuss, our Ali will be all red in the face."

The silver-haired old man waved his hand with a hearty laugh, while Ali put her hands on her hips and turned her back, pretending to be angry.

Mu Feiyang felt somewhat embarrassed upon seeing this scene.

No matter your position, family background, or job, you can't avoid being pressured to get married by your elders.

These elderly people were only concerned, so he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

After a brief joke, Mu Feiyang resumed his work report.

"Old Chief, there's something I need to ask you about."

"The Eight Western Kingdom is preparing for a multinational joint military exercise called 'Operation Frisé,' which will take place in six months."

"An invitation has already been sent to our country privately, but we have not yet responded..."

The silver-haired old man placed his hands on the armrests of the chair and asked calmly.

Which regions were invited?

“Eight West, America, France, Italy, Moxco, Barbayang, Gango, Southfly, etc.”

“In the past, such joint military exercises have been held before; however, we were usually invited as observers, and it is relatively rare for us to be invited to participate like this.”

"Yes."

Mu Feiyang nodded: "It's perfect timing, especially since it's at this crucial juncture of the formation of the Heavy Armored Combined Systems Division. So, everyone feels that the motives behind this joint military exercise are impure, and some events in the competition will require the use of live ammunition."

The silver-haired old man narrowed his eyes: "As expected, they came for us."

The elderly man surnamed Song frowned slightly and clicked his tongue meaningfully: "This is a trap. The people who came here are not well-intentioned."

The old man surnamed Tang took a sip of tea and sneered, "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Liu Bang; but in the end, Xiang Yu committed suicide at Wujiang, while Liu Bang had the last laugh. I think we can go, and six months later we can take the opportunity to test the results of the synthesis team's formation."

The three elders did not share the same opinion and each had their own decision.

Mu Feiyang did not speak; multiple departments had held meetings regarding this matter.

He also met with He Yong and Long Zhenguo, and they all felt that the invitation to a joint exercise at this critical juncture had a strong whiff of conspiracy.

Furthermore, only China received an invitation from the Asia-Pacific region; Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia were not invited, which makes the intention quite clear.

Currently, the communication is only private, but Mu Feiyang believes that if he refuses, the other party will definitely spread rumors and gossip about it extensively.

Therefore, whether to go or not, how to go, and who to send are all matters that need careful consideration.

The silver-haired old man patted the armrest of the chair with his withered fingers, and then spoke.

"Regardless of the purpose behind this joint military exercise, since we have been invited, we must go."

"The more critical the moment, the more we need a visible victory to stabilize the overall situation."

"The Heavy Armor Synthesizer is an important piece on the chessboard, playing a huge role in deterring external forces and stabilizing the internal situation."

“If we don’t go, and we just conduct internal drills, won’t people laugh at us? It’s like sharpening a precious sword and then using it as a kitchen knife instead of hunting in the forest. That would be the biggest waste.”

The silver-haired old man looked at Mu Feiyang and asked, "What were the results of your meeting over there?"

Mu Feiyang: "Our position is the same as yours. Since our opponents want to see our current strength, let them see it. We can take this opportunity to showcase the modern combat system of our Yan Kingdom's soldiers on the international stage."

"Well, that's settled then." The silver-haired old man waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's enough for today. I'm getting old and tired; I'm getting a bit weary after chatting for a while, so you should all go back now."

"Yes, those leaders should get some rest."

"Oh, right..."

Mu Feiyang greeted Ali and was about to leave when he was stopped.

The silver-haired old man said, "If there are any new developments with the synthesizer, you can call me and let me know, so you won't have to run back and forth."

Mu Feiyang nodded: "Yes, old chief."

Leaving the sanatorium, I got back into the car I had come in.

Ah Li asked curiously, "Did the opponent change their tactics this time?"

Mu Feiyang nodded: "They tried to scheme twice but failed, and ended up shooting themselves in the foot. Qin Feng and the others have caused such a ruckus this time that the two dogs are starting to show signs of becoming unruly."

"I have no son, but I'm always willing to be a son; I have no dog, but I'm always willing to be a dog."

"Therefore, they need a victory to prove that they are still the international hegemon."

Ali shrugged: "Looking at it this way, we have indeed developed very quickly in recent years. In the past, these people never bothered to prove these things. Now, they've done it openly and covertly, and in the end, they haven't even scratched our surface."

Mu Feiyang shook his head: "We still can't be careless. At least until the heavy armor synthesis team is fully assembled, we need to be more vigilant. We don't have many cards to play."

"I understand, that's why I need to use their strength against them."

"Ah."

......

Meanwhile, at the Shihezi Command Headquarters, in the temporary command center.

Commander Tang, who had just completed the mixed reorganization and troop deployment, was making work arrangements for several key commanders.

Among them are Qin Feng, Man Xiongzhi, Yin Tianchou, and Rong Hui.

"Next, I will announce the positions of the commanders of each unit after the mixed formation and division of forces."

"Full of ambition."

"arrive."

Man Xiongzhi, whose name was called, stepped forward.

Commander Tang Yuanchao solemnly handed him a document.

"Man Xiongzhi, your current position is Armored Brigade Commander!"

"Your brigade headquarters personnel list, and their subordinate rosters, are all in this folder..."

"Yes!"

Man Xiongzhi took the folder, opened it, and glanced at it.

Information about the unit to which it belongs, its weapons and equipment, and the list of commanding personnel are all included.

He glanced at it briefly and immediately beamed with joy, because this armored brigade still retained most of the original Blue Army brigade personnel.

The heavy weapons and equipment, such as tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and self-propelled artillery, are the same ones he used on the grasslands.

In addition, some talents from other units were also incorporated into his team, including Ge Zhiyong and Guo Haitao from the Southwest Theater Command.

These two were guided by him when they first formed the synthetic battalion, and later they gradually figured out their own path in synthetic warfare.

It can be said that the troops led by He Manxiong and their early work functions were a perfect match, making them an upgraded version of the previous Blue Army brigade.

Looking at the smile on Man Xiongzhi's face, Qin Feng guessed that the guy must have gotten the card he wanted.

This made him secretly look forward to what kind of team he would be assigned to.
