If nine years are condensed into a ninety-minute movie, two hours are not considered

For Ji Youguo, the two hours from 830 to 10:30 on July 20, 2016 were the most unforgettable "fragment" of his nine-year ruling career and even his life.

When later generations evaluated the head of state who led the Republic on the road of expansion and laid the foundation for the recovery of the Chinese nation, they all came to a conclusion that many people found incredible: in the late 1970s, Ji Youguo, who participated in the self-defense counterattack war as an administrative official in the southern border region, had no service experience, but had a military strategic vision far beyond ordinary people or even professional soldiers.

It was the border self-defense counterattack at the beginning of the Republic's reform that made Ji Youguo the first "hawkish" head of the Republic since the founding father; it made him transform from an administrative official who was good at governing the country into a strategic leader Ji Youguo, only Peng Maobang and Zhao Rundong, who participated in the counterattack battle with him, know the best.

As one of the best heads of state of the Republic, Ji Yuko knew very well how difficult it was to defeat Japan

Japan is not India, whether it is its political strength, diplomatic strength, economic strength, military strength, scientific and technological strength, or its "soft power" that has a direct impact on war, or its "soft power" that has an indirect impact on war, Japan is better than India.

If India is an elephant with ambition, Japan is a bloodthirsty wild wolf

No matter how powerful the elephant is, it is also a herbivorous wild wolf. It is still a carnivore. Not to mention how crazy it will be after a hungry "wild wolf" who has been hungry for decades leaves the cage.

Can the Republic eagle, which is not yet full of wings, defeat the Japanese wild wolf?

If Ji Youguo only believed Peng Maobang's promises and made the decision to resolve the Sino-Japanese conflict with military means, he would not be an excellent politician, and he would not even be considered the worst politician.

Ji Youguo believes in Peng Maobang's ability, but he will never rely entirely on Peng Maobang's guarantee.

When the crisis broke out, Ji Yuguo realized that it was difficult to defeat Japan with military actions alone. In this way, he opposed the public's objections and advocated a multi-pronged approach to attack Japan in various ways, weakening the potential of Japanese wars lay the foundation for military victory.

From the 11th, Ji Youguo has an average of less than 4 hours of rest every day.

In just a few days, a net of heaven and earth formed overwhelmingly towards the wild wolves of the grinning teeth.

When the war broke out, the Republic's eagle spread its wings and flew high, stretched out its claws, and rushed towards the east wild wolf trapped by the rope net, but Ji Yuguo found himself a "outsider"

Two hours are both long and short, only two cups of tea.

Seeing Wang Yuanqing hurried to the garden, Ji Youguo put down his teacup and stood up from the stone stool in the rain Pavilion.

"I just received a call from the Minister of Defense. He arrived in five minutes and I have sent someone to pick it up."

"The battle is over?" Ji Youguo's brow jumped quickly for a few times.

"Minister Zhao didn't say it too clearly on the phone, he just said he would report the situation in person."

"Let's go to the study room." Ji Youguo exhaled his breath and walked out of the Yuting. "Remember to prepare some tea and snacks and there is news from the General Staff?"

"I didn't contact General Peng, maybe he is still busy."

"Press up again, send it immediately after there is news."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and only after sending Ji Youguo back to the study room did he prepare tea and pastries.

Just after five minutes, Zhao Rundong walked into the study with great strides.

"I just received the news that the first phase of the combat operation ended successfully, the Japanese Fourth Fleet was wiped out, and several Japanese submarines were sunk by our side." Zhao Rundong picked up the teacup and guru Guru took several big mouthfuls, "There is another unexpected harvest, reported by Pan Yunsheng, an F-22i island."

Ji Youguo sat down on the chair next to Zhao Rundong, "Did Pan Yunsheng report to you?"

"Yes! He is dealing with this matter himself, let me tell you"

Ji Youguo nodded slightly and asked, "How is our loss?"

"The fleet is not serious. The 'Hangzhou' was injured by a missile and is returning to the military port to lose a submarine. The search and rescue work has begun. The losses of the air force and the naval aviation force are relatively large. The statistics now result is that 76 fighter jets have been lost, and nearly 30 fighter jets have returned with injuries."

"How many seaplanes have been sent to search and rescue pilots who fell into the water?"

"Everything has been sent out. HNA has done its best. The East China Sea Fleet has also sent helicopters to participate in the search and rescue work. There will be a specific report about the afternoon and late afternoon."

Hearing this, Ji Youguo's expression became very serious

"Although the losses were relatively large, before we expected, Lao Peng called me and said that he had sent the Air Force's test troops to ensure that there would not be such a major loss again."

"Please, guarantee again!" Ji Youguo murmured in a low voice.

"Old Peng called me, but didn't call you, it shows that he was under a lot of pressure. You also know Lao Peng's character. If he fights like this, he is worse than us.

Ji Youguo nodded slightly and said, "That is to say, the war is not over yet."

"Not only is it not over, it may also expand," Zhao Rundong paused for a moment, and after Ji Youguotou came to ask, he said, "The latest information obtained shows that Japan's Second Fleet and Third Fleet will leave Naha Port later today. The Japanese Air Self-Defense Force is also adjusting its deployment. If Japan refuses to admit defeat and recognizes the fait accompli, the scale of the war will expand, but we have already made relevant preparations, even if..."

Ji Youguo suppressed his hand and stopped Zhao Rundong's words, but he didn't rush to speak

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Rundong said, "Lao Ji, what do you mean?"

"I'm not worried about the expansion of the war." Ji Youguo breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm not a soldier, I don't know the bloody storm on the battlefield, but I have to consider possible consequences."

Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "I'm here to find you for this matter."

Ji Youguo frowned slightly and looked at the Minister of Defense.

"The voices of support for war in China are very obvious. Western media are reporting on relevant news. Pang Xinglong talked to me and felt that we should restrain ourselves."

"Constrain?" Ji Youguo smiled coldly, "Pang Xinglong just couldn't get on the table before the war broke out, and he also expressed his support to see the situation expanding, so he couldn't sit still."

"The Prime Minister doesn't mean this. After all, the publicity work is related to the public's emotions. If you do it too much, it may not end well."

"It depends on whether we have the confidence and determination to win." Ji Youguo stood up and paced back and forth in front of Zhao Rundong. "What is war? A victorious war is a glue that condenses the nation, and a failed war is a catalyst to split the nation. It is the promise we made to the people that we have already aroused the appetite of the people and raised the expectations of the people. If we win, the more the publicity is spread, the more beneficial it will be for us. If we are unfortunately defeated, even if we do not do propaganda, the result will not be much better."

"You mean..."

"A year ago, we gained the support and trust of soldiers. Now, we must gain the support and trust of the people." Ji Youguo touched his chin and stopped in front of Zhao Rundong. "Not only can we stop propaganda, but we must also expand the scale of propaganda and mobilize the enthusiasm of the people to make everyone believe that we can not only win, but also fulfill our promises without any point. Japan is not India. As a country that owes a lot of blood debts, never admits mistakes and repents, and does not even apologize, every Chinese son and daughter want to swallow it alive. We not only want to regain lost territory through this war, but also arouse bloody propaganda in the bones of every descendant of Yan and Huang. The hearts of the people are also the battlefield. Only when every Chinese son and daughter act, only when every descendant of Yan and Huang is excited, the Chinese nation has the possibility of rejuvenation, and the land of China has a bright future."

Zhao Rundong kept nodding while listening

"What Pang Xinglong said, don't pay attention." Ji Youguo sat down again, "I'll personally say hello to the comrades in the propaganda department. During the war, the domestic propaganda work was led by the Ministry of National Defense. After other departments cooperated with each other, you will talk to Pan Yunsheng and several other intelligence departments, so that they can make some contributions as well."

"I arranged a dedicated person to be responsible for the publicity work. In addition, should the results and losses be reported truthfully?"

Ji Youguo pondered for a while and said, "If we don't even dare to face the truth, do we still have the courage to face a powerful enemy? It's nothing to lose a lot. After all, Japan is different from previous enemies. The people can understand that as long as we have the confidence and determination to win, we can achieve the final victory, and no matter how big the losses are, we can still get the support of the people."

"Then let's report it truthfully and see how Japan responds."

"We must deal with it quickly. The sooner the news is announced, the more we can demonstrate our confidence and fighting spirit," said Ji Youguo, "The news that needs to be kept confidential cannot be released. You need to discuss with Pan Yunsheng. He knows better than us what war reports need to be kept confidential."

Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "Pan Yunsheng has told me that the information about f-22o cannot be disclosed for the time being."

At this time, Wang Yuanqing came to the study room

"Old Ji, I'll say goodbye if I have nothing else."

"When I go back, I'll deal with it quickly, I'll wait to watch the news reports."

After Zhao Rundong went out, Wang Yuanqing turned on the TV and transferred to the International News Channel.

"Just received the news, the US government will soon issue a statement regarding the East China Sea War."

"So fast?" Ji Youguo smiled coldly, "Xiao Wang, what do you think the United States will be?"

Wang Yuanqing smiled bitterly and said, "I can't guess it."

"I bet you that the United States will definitely support Japan, and it will focus on declaring that the US-Japan alliance is something else. At most, it is just to say it and not take practical actions."

Wang Yuanqing did not evaluate the head of state analysis, Ji Youguo rarely made mistakes in strategic analysis
