                This plan would have
worked well a month ago,
              
              
                but now I'm afraid distant waters
can't quench immediate thirst.
              
              
                So, Deputy Chief Liu,
              
              
                what do you think?
              
              
                I believe we should have Song Xilian
              
              
                and Luo Guangwen's troops
in northern Guizhou
              
              
                abandon eastern Sichuan-Guizhou directly.
              
              
                We should consolidate our forces
              
              
                and concentrate them
to defend Chongqing at all costs.
              
              
                When Director Hu's forces arrive,
              
              
                we can attack
from both inside and outside
              
              
                and will surely destroy Liu Bocheng.
              
              
                If we abandon so many positions,
              
              
                I'm afraid
the President won't accept that.
              
              
                Besides, there's also Li Yannian's
              
              
                precedent of abandoning Pingtan Island.
              
              
                Song Xilian and Luo Guangwen may not
              
              
                be willing to execute this order.
              
              
                If we don't make choices,
              
              
                even the best plans are meaningless.
              
              
                Don't speak such discouraging words.
              
              
                Deputy Chief Wu,
              
              
                what's your opinion?
              
              
                I have no opinions,
              
              
                only concerns.
              
              
                If Director Hu's main forces
and Song Xilian's corps
              
              
                all rush to support Chongqing,
              
         
        
        
        
          
                
                  This plan would have
worked well a month ago,
                
                
                  but now I'm afraid distant waters
can't quench immediate thirst.
                
                
                  So, Deputy Chief Liu,
                
                
                  what do you think?
