Chapter six hundred and sixty fifth
Duke is busy developing domestic and export products at the same time, and is very busy.
On the other hand, in the face of the harassment and provocation encountered by the oil and gas development in the South China Sea, the military was preparing to stop and suddenly announced that the People's Liberation Army would hold a large-scale maritime exercise in the South China Sea and set up a high-standard military base in Nansha. As soon as this important news came out, the atmosphere around the South China Sea seemed to be frozen.
Immediately afterwards, the diplomatic spokesperson strongly and high-profile demanded that all parties in the South China Sea immediately stop infringing on China's interests in the Nansha Islands and provoking and interfering with China's oil and gas development in the South China Sea. Otherwise, the People's Liberation Army would take decisive actions to resolve the issue. Such a nearly declared war word has not been spoken from the Chinese official for a long time. Therefore, the news came out of the military's announcement, which immediately caused panic and rebound among the countries in the South China Sea.
The People's Liberation Army is about to use force. The Philippine maids and Vietnamese monkeys who are most frequent and small in Nansha have submitted relevant proposals to the UN General Assembly overnight like a fire, demanding that the UN General Assembly stop China's unilateral military action and requesting the international community to take necessary peacekeeping actions in the South China Sea.
Unexpectedly, their proposal was strongly supported by the Americans and the Japanese and included in the scope of discussions by the Security Council. However, due to the firm opposition of the Chinese representative to the UN General Assembly and the use of veto power, the proposal failed to enter the voting scope of the UN General Assembly.
But what is interesting is that in addition to the British, most other countries remain silent on this. As latecomers to the South China Sea oil interests, the major European countries have also gained a lot of benefits in this large-scale construction in this large-scale construction, because such a large-scale construction will be completed within one year, and it is obviously a bit difficult to rely solely on domestic strength.
European countries have rich experience in offshore oil well drilling, mature technology, and are very competitive under open bidding. In the first batch of construction exploration orders announced by China, major European companies have won a lot of shares. For Europe with an average economic situation, getting orders worth tens of billions of dollars is obviously much more important than verbally shouting slogans.
Europeans will not forget that during the Sino-Europe trade war, the United States and Japan stood by, making Europe unable to follow the will of both sides and compromised. This lesson made Europe understand China's power on the one hand, and at the same time, it once again learned the American strategy of profit first. In this way, it naturally knows how to choose, and getting rich is the kingly way today.
The countries in the South China Sea were stunned when the United Nations did not receive any substantive support. Originally, they believed that China was just talking verbally in the South China Sea and would not really use force to resolve the problem. Under this kind of thinking, of course, the more it has in the Nansha, the greater the advantage of negotiations in the future. Gradually, after occupying a large amount of territory, even the initiative of China to shelve the disputes and jointly develop, believing that China will not do anything to them.
Although the Chinese side's decisive capture of Diaoyutai made these monkeys worried for a while, seeing that China did not take any military actions later, they slowly put their heart back. After the two American aircraft carrier formations entered Subic Bay, they even believed that it was when the South China Sea issue was internationalized, and they even began to recruit large-scale investment and invite American backgrounds to develop South China Sea oil.
However, their steps are much slower than China. China has taken the lead in investing trillions of dollars in development, so these monkeys have begun to constantly friction and provoke, obstructing China's rational development and utilization.
However, when two huge aircraft carrier formations of China were cruising the Nansha Islands, the South China Sea countries that invaded the Nansha Islands began to jump out of chaos, but no one had the courage to jump out and say that they would fight to the People's Liberation Army. In the eyes of the South China Sea countries, the powerful Japanese destroyer formations that invaded Diaoyutai were strong enough to destroy their country, but under the attack of the People's Liberation Army, the entire army was destroyed. This huge difference made the South China Sea countries know that there was no future in fighting head-on.
Not to mention that they cannot fight against one country, even if they add up, they can't do it. Moreover, now they are still doing their own military affairs, and it is even more impossible to risk being beaten and letting their neighbors get cheap. Therefore, it is okay to do some small moves secretly, but whoever can do it blatantly stands in front of the People's Liberation Army and hits the stone with an egg.
Amid the verbal protests of the countries in the South China Sea, the PLA participated in the exercise "Determination-2009" and the mixed fleet was almost uninterrupted and set sail to the Nansha, preparing to carry out its established combat mission.
Rear Admiral George Bridge, the commander of the US Fleet Mixed Fleet, who has been closely watching, discovered through reconnaissance satellites and Global Hawks, that there were two large amphibious landing ships accompanying the PLA fleet in the middle of the Nansha fleet. This signal indicates that the Chinese really have the potential to sweep the Nansha Islands.
The main air defense and anti-submarine ships following the PLA's two aircraft carriers are 2 Hyundai class destroyers, 3 052D destroyers, 2 Kid-class destroyers, and 4 054A missile frigates.
This force is of course an overwhelming advantageous force for the countries in the South China Sea, but it is not enough for the US Fleet stationed in Fleet. Therefore, when Bridge received this reconnaissance result, he asked the country to lead the fleet to attack. On the one hand, he observed the exercises of the PLA USS Chongqing aircraft carrier and the Tianjin aircraft carrier at close range to understand the strength of the PLA Navy; on the other hand, he was preparing to see if he was waiting for an opportunity to launch a devastating blow to the PLA aircraft carrier formation when the Philippines and Vietnam were attacked, and prevented China from recovering the South China Sea and destroying the main force of the PLA Navy.
Rear Admiral Bridge now has a special mixed fleet composed of two aircraft carrier strike groups, the USS John Stanis and the USS Ronald Reagan. It has nearly 100 offensive F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighters, more than 70 other auxiliary combat aircraft, and two maritime destroyers guards. It has 8 large Aegis destroyers and cruisers and 4 nuclear-powered attack submarines. Whether it is air attack power or sea attack power, it is far superior to the People's Liberation Army's Chongqing and Tianjin aircraft carrier formations.
Far from mainland China, the air power that the PLA can use now is apart from about 60 carrier-based J-15 flying shark fighters on the aircraft carrier, only 60 J-11Cs on the two air forces on Taiping Road and Dongxing Island. Rear Admiral Bridge also has two squadrons of F-35 fighters as backing. It can be said that over the South China Sea, Rear Admiral Bridge has full confidence to defeat the PLA. The only thing worth worrying about is the PLA's elusive submarine.
Seeing the intelligence sent back by Rear Admiral Bridge, this power comparison gave Sham Grant, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Army, and Carter Karen, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Defense. They authorized Rear Admiral Bridge to consider launching a decisive attack if they felt confident and gave a devastating blow to the PLA's special mixed fleet.
