If China only has economic actions, even if it announces a series of bilateral economic and trade agreements in a high-profile manner, although the US side is shocked and nervous, it still feels that things are not without room for recovery, because they feel that relying on their global military and economic strength, it is no longer once or twice that it is forced to submit to other countries.

In this regard, they have extremely rich success stories and experiences. They plan to be hard if they are not soft. If their words cannot be moved, at most they will have a spring of gods in disobedient countries, or they will go into battle barely and use military means to change the dynasty, and then some obedient people come up to control them remotely, so they will not have to worry about not being able to solve these problems.

Although doing this is much more laborious, requires more resources, more things, and requires huge expenses. However, the hundreds of overseas military bases set up by the US military around the world and stationed hundreds of thousands of troops to do these things.

However, the new news received by the US next made them feel that China is not only using its economic strength this time, but also determined to assist in ensuring the effective implementation of these agreements through military means.

Because the People's Liberation Army signed a secret bilateral military cooperation agreement with Seychelles and Tanzania in a very low-key manner, preparing to build a military base in the two countries respectively.

Among them, a large military port will be built in Seychelles to provide a stationed and resupply logistics base for the PLA Navy to perform military activities in the Indian Ocean.

Before that, Pakistan overwhelmingly defeated Asano San, China took the opportunity to improve its relations with the Maldives when Asano San had no time to take care of it, and upgraded the temporary supply port on Rahsf Island to a standard military port. This was originally Duke's private property, but as Duke continued to increase its importance, Duke basically did not have much chance to return to this beautiful place.

Therefore, this overseas island gradually became a production base and naval supply port for Duke Maldives Company. Now two nearby islands have been developed. More than 3,000 people live and work on these three islands all year round, which is already a lively island.

With the two military ports established in Pakistan and Colombo earlier, the PLA has quietly completed its layout in the Indian Ocean, finding four places for its ocean navy to settle in the Indian Ocean, giving the PLA's navy a solid foundation for its military activities in the Indian Ocean.

Although the PLA has handled these activities very low-key, in the eyes of the US side, which has been paying close attention to China's every move, China's actions have continuously broken through the US's estimated upper limit for China, especially the agreement on Tanzanian military base, which means that China's strategy has completely entered a new stage, indicating that the PLA is no longer satisfied with national air defense and has begun to go to the world.

Because China will build an overseas military base for permanent troops near the port of Bagamoa, Tanzania, in this military cooperation agreement with Tanzania, China has rented about ten square kilometers of land near the port city of Tanzania with a loan fee of 100 million yuan per year, preparing to build a military airport and army camp on this land, preparing to become the first overseas base of the People's Liberation Army. The agreement between the two parties is 49 years.

According to the scale of land leased by China, the US estimates that after the base is completed, the scale of the People's Liberation Army reorganized army aircraft infantry brigade and two main air force groups will be more than enough in the future. Judging from the military strength of the People's Liberation Army today, such a military force is enough to sweep away most African countries. If there is no foreign military intervention.

When China completes this military deployment, it will obviously become completely different for China's voice in Africa with this garrison. With such strength, the People's Liberation Army is fully capable of dealing with the challenges of the greedy local warlords in Africa to China's interests, and has a considerable deterrent effect.

Of course, the premise for the PLA to effectively complete this military deployment is that the PLA's navy can stand firm in the Indian Ocean under the attack of the US and the Afghan Navy and ensure that the logistics support of the Tanzanian military base is continuous. With the US aircraft carrier battle group swaying the Indian Ocean, it is still very challenging for the newly developed PLA Navy to complete this strategic task.

In the eyes of some military observers, China's strategy is too crazy. It is necessary to face the powerful US military in a strange area without effective local military support. With the military strength of the PLA Navy's current two Varyag-class aircraft carrier battle groups, it is obviously too hard to meet the 4 to 6 Nimitz-class aircraft carrier battle groups that the US military may have assembled during the war.

Therefore, this African base of the People's Liberation Army is very likely to become an orphan without the strong support of the navy.

However, after several head-on contacts with the PLA, the senior management of the US military no longer viewed this. If the PLA built several military ports in the Indian Ocean, most of them were still for logistics supplies and temporary stations and did not station troops. Although the US military felt a bit as uncomfortable as eating a fly, it was still patient. However, the powerful PLA army was also ready to go abroad for the first time to station in Africa, then the taste would be completely different.

This means that China, which has shown impressive economic performance in recent decades, has finally begun to no longer be satisfied with expanding economically everywhere in the world, but has begun to defend its interests with military means. This marks a huge change in the national defense strategy that China has always adhered to. Although it is still the first step, the People's Liberation Army, which is increasingly confident in the military, will surely continue to take the second and third steps and constantly challenge the US military's military dominance position in the world.

Therefore, the US attaches great importance to it. After the news came out, all staff in the White House and Pentagon were forced to start running wildly day and night by these actions of China. The CIA even launched its intelligence network in China and invested the greatest force to find out what China wanted to do. Various military units of the US military also raised their alert levels and canceled all vacation preparations for officers and soldiers.

The next PLA's actions seemed to be to echo these tense actions of the US military. The two newly built 100,000-ton aircraft carriers of the PLA quietly passed the sea test and began to join the active service. The first ship's hull number was No. 10 and the ship's name was "Beijing". Therefore, it was later called the Beijing-class aircraft carrier. The Chongqing and Tianjin, which were built earlier, were called the Marshal Kuznetsov-class. In addition to the larger displacement of the Liaoning, which was obtained in the early days, had the same main design as the People's Liberation Army's newly designed 100,000-ton aircraft carrier. Its first aircraft carrier, "Beijing", joined the Pacific Fleet and became the flagship of the Pacific Fleet.

The second Beijing-class aircraft carrier has a hull of No. 11 and its name is "Shanghai". It joined the South China Sea Fleet and became the new flagship of the South China Sea Fleet. In this way, the PLA's Navy's Pacific Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet have two aircraft carriers respectively. Add to the No. 16 Liaoning Ship. The PLA's Navy has 5 aircraft carriers that can go to sea to fight at any time. If equipped with powerful carrier-based aircraft, the PLA's aircraft carrier combat group will be very amazing. However, if there is no suitable carrier-based aircraft, these PLA's aircraft carriers are just a few sea targets with large displacement.

Although the PLA had already had J-15 carrier-based aircraft, this typical third-generation aircraft based on SU-33 has a certain gap in radar and stealth effects compared to the Super Hornet F/A-18E/F modified AN/APG-79 radar. It can only compete with the latter after being commanded by air early warning aircraft. At present, the PLA's carrier-based early warning aircraft is still a bit different from the Air Police 2000 model, which makes the J-15 fighter still weak in the US main carrier-based aircraft Super Hornet.

Not to mention the US stealth fighter F-35A/B. In addition, the number of J-15s that the Varyag-class aircraft carrier can carry is limited, and the typical configuration of the Liaoning can only carry two brigades of fighter jets, that is, 20 J-15 carrier-based aircraft. The Chongqing and Tianjin have been transformed and increased, and the number of carrier-based aircraft has been greatly increased after using electromagnetic catapults. However, at most, they only carry 60 fighters. In this case, in addition to other types such as anti-submarine fighters, early warning aircraft, etc., the fighter jets that can be carried are actually 40-50, which is far lower than the number of fighter jets carried by the US Nimitz-class.

The number of carrier-based aircraft carriers in service will catch up with the Nimitz-class in terms of number of carrier-based aircraft, but if it is only J-15, it will be at most the same as the Nimitz-class Super Hornet. If it is compared with the F-35A/B, it will still be difficult to gain an advantage. However, the US military soon discovered that shortly after the People's Liberation Army's Beijing-class aircraft carrier was put into service, its main carrier-based aircraft was actually the long-rumored new generation carrier-based aircraft Red Eagle J-18. This is a new vertical/short-range take-off and landing stealth fighter with a certain stealth effect. From the performance indicators, it is almost the same as the US military's F-35B.

According to internal simulation combat combat, the J-18 Red Eagle fighter can fully defeat the same number of US F-35A/B fighter jets after being commanded by the air early warning aircraft and cooperate with the theater joint combat tactical system.

This gives the Beijing-class aircraft carrier a full combat capability to compete with the air force of the US Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. In conjunction with the newly built and put into service, the 4 new nuclear-powered 052E large destroyers with a full load displacement of 10,000 tons, the 6 054B frigates with a full load displacement of 4,000 tons, and the 2 7,000 tons-class 097 large offensive nuclear submarines and 4 5,000 tons-class 041B new meta-class attack nuclear submarines. The PLA's naval combat power seemed to have been transformed into the world's advanced level.

In particular, the main ships such as Beijing-class aircraft carriers and 052E large destroyers all use the Chinese Aegis-II type that cracks and absorbs the essence of the Aegis system. This new air defense system uses a super minicomputer computing cluster system made by Duke's G2/G3 CPU. The computing performance is an order of magnitude higher than the previous Chinese Aegis. In addition to the improved new radar hardware, the Chinese Aegis-II type now exceeds the captured Japanese Aegis capabilities. During air defense, it can identify and monitor more than 1,000 aerial targets at the same time, and automatically select to lock the 16 most dangerous targets at the same time to strike.

In this way, the Chinese ASUS-II type is combined with the new 32-unit/64-unit general vertical launch system and the Haihongqi-16C short-range air defense missile/Haihongqi-15B long-range air defense missile to form an air defense system that combines long-term and near-term air defense missiles, providing the aircraft carrier battle group with air defense capabilities that are completely inferior to the US aircraft carrier battle group.

When these new warships were successfully integrated, the PLA Navy had the ability to conduct long-distance combat in the Indian Ocean. Following the currency war initiated by China's economic and trade departments, the PLA had already shown its ability to protect the normal progress of these economic and trade activities.
