The person in charge of Scientific Research Institute took over the words, "Well, that's an idea. Indeed, judging from the current data, the East Wind series has an unsatisfactory damage effect on high-level Abyssal Beast. Used to clean up low-level beasts, it is like anti-aircraft cannons to kill mosquitoes. It is inefficient and too wasteful."
"If the inventory allows, using it for transnational strategic support can be considered as making the best use of its advantages in ultra-long range and delivery capabilities."
He looked up at Zhou Donglai and asked the key question, "However, Comrade Donglai, can our existing inventory, especially after the consumption in the early stages of the apocalypse, still be able to support a support operation of this scale?"
Zhou Donglai heard this, with a smile on his face and a hint of deep meaning in his words: "Don't worry, in the early days of the apocalypse, because we were attacking local targets, we mainly consumed short-range ballistic missiles. Later, we found that the effect was not good, so we stopped using them in large quantities."
"In fact, my country's largest inventory and relatively well-preserved items are various types of long-range and intercontinental ballistic missiles."
He paused slightly, as if he was considering his words, and then gave an answer, "So, um, in terms of inventory, it is enough."
Enough.
The message contained in these two words changed the atmosphere in the conference room.
However, Zhou Donglai changed the topic and immediately cooled down the heat that had just risen in the conference room.
His words were very pragmatic, "However, I have to explain one thing. It is absolutely impossible to hope that these long-range fire support can help the allies eliminate Abyssal Tide."
"I believe that their primary role is to exist and display, to provide help when needed, rather than to replace everything."
Hearing this, the person in charge of the Foreign Affairs Department couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"Chief of Staff Zhou is right. Support is not needed and cannot play a decisive role."
He thought for a moment and made a metaphor.
"This is very similar to some difficult times we have experienced in history. External assistance itself has a limited effect, but the most important significance is to let people in desperate situations know that they are not alone."
"This kind of spiritual support boosts morale immeasurably. The final victory must be won by themselves inch by inch."
After saying that, he changed the topic and pointed at the Island Country signal hanging alone overseas on the screen, frowning slightly, "But there is a practical problem. Island Country over there, do we need support?"
All eyes are looking at Li Zhenguo.
Li Zhenguo did not answer immediately, but asked, "What do you think?"
The person in charge of foreign affairs had obviously thought about it for a long time. He answered clearly and clearly, "Based on the charter of the consortium and international morality, I think support is needed."
"First of all, it is indeed a formal member of the consortium. Secondly, and more importantly, the current person in charge of the Island Country interim management committee has been replaced. He is of Xia descent. As everyone knows, he and his core team are staunch members of Island Country "Communist Society"."
"This organization, during the most difficult war years for our nation, gave us a lot of valuable help regardless of its own danger."
After listening, Li Zhenguo nodded slightly, showing no emotion or anger. He then turned his attention to Zhou Donglai: "What are your opinions General Staff?"
Zhou Donglai did not directly answer for or against.
He thought for a moment and made a suggestion that surprised many people, "Commander, regarding whether to support Island Country, especially the use of strategic forces to support, I think this matter is of great importance and involves a wide range of things."
"I suggest that you seek Comrade Lin Yi's opinion before making the final decision."
This suggestion silenced the conference room for a moment.
Asking for Lin Yi's opinion? This kind of thing seems to have nothing to do with Yuaneng?
Facing the probing gaze of the crowd, Zhou Donglai explained, "The reason is that Comrade Lin Yi is still a young man after all, full of energy, and his perspective on historical issues and national emotions may be different from that of us old guys."
"I think if he is resistant to supporting Island Country, our actions may very well make him resentful."
He looked around and said in a sincere tone, "I believe that under the current situation, maintaining a good relationship of trust with Comrade Lin Yi is far more important than a specific cross-border rescue operation. There is no need for an external decision to affect our internal core cohesion."
"So, you should be cautious about this matter, and you must first understand his thoughts."
These words woke up many people present.
They are used to weighing the pros and cons from the perspective of national interests and strategic value, but they almost ignore the personal feelings of young people. Once they figured this out, everyone nodded and approved of Zhou Donglai's proposal."
"Indeed, the tacit understanding and trust with Lin Yi is currently one of Xia Country's most precious strategic assets and cannot be lost.
"Comrade Donglai has thought carefully about this matter." Li Zhenguo also nodded in agreement, "I will do as you say, contact Comrade Lin Yi immediately, report the situation, and focus on listening to his opinion on whether to support Island Country."

Silver white Little Flying Ball interior.
Lin Yi is closing his eyes to rest, his body swaying slightly with the movement of the flying ball.
While absorbing Source Energy Crystal to restore the source energy consumed in the previous battle, he relaxed his mind and alleviated the mental fatigue caused by using Soul Power to lift and fly at the same time.
Before Star Core level, this method of flying was indeed thankless, expensive, and slow, but it was the only option at present.
Only when Star Core condenses in the body, like a miniature star, can it naturally get rid of the constraints of gravity and achieve ultra-high-speed flight with extremely low consumption.
And if Rule Comprehension reaches Star Vortex level, he can use the source as his salary, the rules as his clothes, his body as a stream of light, and he can travel thousands of miles in an instant.
This is the so-called Flowing Light Flight.
Of course, this requires a large amount of source energy support.
Theoretically speaking, Lin Yi cannot fly at super speed without Star Core.
Instead, in theory, he could use Flowing Light Flight.
However, with his current source energy, he can only activate it and fly for more than a thousand kilometers. After landing, the source energy will be empty, so it can only be used in emergencies.
While I was thinking about it, the synchronization display screen embedded in Little Flying Ball lit up, indicating that there was high-priority encrypted communication access, and the initiator number was displayed as Zhou Donglai.
Lin Yi made a thought and connected directly.
The communication interface pops up.
Zhou Donglai concisely briefed him on Blue Star Crisis Response Union's current severe request for assistance, as well as General Staff's preliminary idea of using the "East Wind" series of missiles for ultra-long-range strategic support.
"Use East Wind for remote strategic support?" Lin Yi was indeed a little surprised when he heard this.
Even he couldn't think of this idea.
In his previous life, the global communications and satellite navigation systems collapsed for too long. By the time they were partially restored many years later, most of the satellites had already crashed, and the ballistic missiles had lost their precision guidance capabilities and their actual combat value was greatly reduced, so he didn't think about it at all.
At this moment, after Zhou Donglai mentioned it, he suddenly realized.
Yes, now that the military functions of satellite links have been restored a lot, these important weapons of major countries can indeed take on new vitality and become a weapon for projecting power across continents.
