(Sorry, I delayed the update yesterday.)

Four Tomahawk cruise missiles with a breath of death lined up along the calm East China Sea surface and flew towards the Twin Island in an orderly manner. The "Montpellier" nuclear submarine was not finished after launching the Tomahawk cruise missile. On the one hand, Colonel Michel ordered the submarine to sail away from the launch area at the highest speed, and on the other hand, released a communication buoy. According to the pre-set procedure, this communication buoy did not float to the sea immediately after launching the mother boat. Instead, it stayed under the water for a period of time and waited for the submarine to submarine to a certain safe distance before it slowly rose and floated to the surface.

Even after it floats to the surface, the release antenna of the communication float is facing the underwater side to avoid being discovered. Then, through this communication float, the submarine can control cruise missiles thousands of miles away through the communication satellite in the sky, changing the attack target at any time. At the same time, the submarine can also communicate with the headquarters in real time. From the perspective of function, this communication float has a similar function to the "fish school" communication system invented by Duke.

However, in terms of concealment, communication efficiency and usage time, the US military's communication buoy is far from the "fish" communication system. The US military's communication buoy not only cannot support communication contacts of more than 1M, but also can only last for more than one hour in support time. After this time, the communication buoy will explode and sink to the bottom of the sea. However, this time is enough for Colonel Michel to control these four Tomahawk cruise missiles and attack any target within 1,000 kilometers at any time.

With the attack circle error of the Tomahawk up to 3 to 6 meters and the hit rate of more than 90%, as long as it is not intercepted during flight, the 4 Tomahawk cruise missiles are enough to completely destroy the target, even the low-speed moving target is no exception.

After more than ten minutes of high-speed navigation, the Montpellier nuclear submarine had sailed several kilometers. Colonel Michel immediately activated the communication system on the communication buoy. Soon, the Montpellier nuclear submarine established communication contact with the Tomahawk cruise missiles launched through the communication buoy. At this moment, these high-speed flight Tomahawk cruise missiles had entered the range of 300 kilometers of the Twin Island target.

Colonel Michel was nervously staring at the running trajectory image of the Tomahawk cruise missile. Everything is normal now, completely on the preset flight track. If Michel does not change the attack target, after about 20 minutes, Twin Island will be hit by such a terrifying killer, and even most of the land on the island will disappear. However, if the command needs to change the combat target, Colonel Michel can input the new attack target into the Tomahawk cruise missile control system at any time, which can control the cruise missile to hover over the target area for about 2 hours to find a new target.

Before the Tomahawk cruise missile arrived at Gemini Island, a Global Hawk drone also quietly appeared at a high altitude of about 100 kilometers east of Gemini Island. Above this distance, the Global Hawk drone was enough to monitor the every move of objects more than 2 meters on Gemini Island.

However, at this time, the Haike Sentinel-II radar warning system deployed along the coast of the People's Liberation Army near Gemini Island finally realized something was wrong, and suddenly a harsh alarm sound broke out. At the same time, the Sentinel-II early warning radar belonging to the Southeast War Zone instantly passed the warning information through the wireless network and displayed on the large curtain wall of the Skynet early warning system of the Southeast War Zone Intelligence Center.

The Skynet early warning system, which integrates information from air early warning aircraft, land-based radar and sea-based radar under the war zone, immediately displayed this early warning information on a large curtain wall map. "Reported, xxx east longitude and xxx north latitude, four US tomahawk cruise missiles were found to attack our defense zone!" Lieutenant Yu Shijie, who was responsible for the information processing of sea-based radar early warning, reported loudly.

Colonel Lan Kaiyun, director of the Southeast War Zone Intelligence Center, who had been awakened by the sharp alarm, stared at these sudden invading cruise missiles and was not panicked. "Locked invading targets, connect the theater air defense defense system, and prepare to guide air defense firepower to destroy the target." Now, almost every important military target is protected by the ground air defense missile system according to its importance.

"Yes!" After Lieutenant Cai Zhiheng, the system operator on the side skillfully entered a series of commands, Colonel Lan Kaiyun pressed his finger on the fingerprint scanner in front of him and approved the operation.

"Report! The No. 76 air defense missile position and No. 77 air defense missile position are launched, ready to destroy the invading target!" Cai Zhiheng reported that Lan Kaiyun looked at the large curtain wall and lit up two air defense missile positions, which happened to be near two important land field airports in the Tomahawk cruise missile attack range. These are two Hongqi-16 medium-short-range air defense missile positions, which can effectively defend against missile attacks within 30 kilometers. If there are only these subsonic cruise missiles, there will be basically no return.

Lan Kaiyun checked the system again for analyzing the range of the Tomahawk missiles identified. He found that the most valuable military targets were these two field airports and the two J-11C flying regiments deployed. Apart from this, other military targets were not of much value. Therefore, a hanging heart was a little relaxed.

However, Lan Kaiyun did not know whether this was a tentative attack by the US military or a prelude to the US military's large-scale attack. On the one hand, he ordered the further dynamics to be closely monitored, and on the other hand, he reported to the Southeast War Zone Command. At the same time, the attack alarm information was immediately transmitted to the General Staff.

The General Staff Operations Command Center, which has been in a state of war, immediately became busy after receiving this attack alarm from the Southeast War Zone. Intelligence analysts connected the early warning information system of the Southeast War Zone Intelligence Center and began to share the intelligence of the entire Skynet early warning system of the Southeast War Zone. Staff officers began to analyze the dynamics of the US military and judge whether the US military was an independent retaliatory attack or the beginning of a large-scale attack by the US military.

Since Song Jihong took action first and then claimed to kill a squadron of the US military in Africa, Sino-US relations, which were originally tense due to air combat in Diaoyutai, became even worse because of the incident. Faced with abnormal movements from the US military, the General Staff raised the combat readiness level to the highest alert, and has not been lifted yet. Therefore, this sudden attack from the US military tomahawk cruise missiles will inevitably trigger the senior staff of the General Staff to conjecture in the worst direction.

This alarm information even alarmed General Yang, the top leader of the General Staff. He pushed away everything at hand and came to the General Staff combat command center. At this time, intelligence analysts had summarized all aspects of intelligence information at hand, from military satellite pictures to eyeliner reports placed near the US military base in Japan and South Korea. All signs prove that the current US aircraft carrier fleet and air force units showed that there was no sign of large-scale deployment.

In other words, this attack is more like a retaliation by the US military against the African incident, because the risks show that there are only two J-11C flying regiments within the target range of the attack target of the invading Tomahawk cruise missiles. If the PLA's air defense missile system cannot intercept these cruise missiles, one of the flying regiments will probably turn into a pile of scrap iron. From the surface, the US military's move this time is in line with the principle of reciprocity retaliation.

However, for the People's Liberation Army, this place is an attack on Chinese territory. If they really succeed, not only will the People's Liberation Army be embarrassed, but it also gives the People's Liberation Army an extremely difficult multiple-choice question, that is, whether to fight back and how to fight back?

In General Yang's heart, looking at the intelligence coming from the Southeast War Zone and the conclusions of General Staff's intelligence analysis experts, we are now considering this serious problem. The US military adopts such local retaliation measures to make the People's Liberation Army at a rapid development really uncomfortable. From a rational point of view, the People's Liberation Army will have a greater chance of winning in a few years. By the time the Air Force's J-10D/J-11D, fourth-generation fighter jets and the Navy's new generation destroyers and nuclear submarines will be on the scale of the new generation of destroyers and nuclear submarines, the People's Liberation Army will not be as passive as it is now, and it will need to be damaged to fight.

However, is this attack by the US military really just a simple revenge? President Yang stared at the huge combat map curtain wall of the combat center, and his heart was full of questions. If the US military wanted to take revenge, he could take action after the African incident. How could he suddenly take action at this time?

"General, this matter is really strange. We actually do not have any high-value military targets in this area, so there is no long-range missile defense system deployed in this area. If the Americans only attack one of the two field airports, our Hongqi-16 medium-sized short-range air defense system will basically have no problem dealing with this intensity of attack. What kind of Americans do to do such a job without any effort? Judging from the intelligence information feedback from our anti-submarine alarm system, no clues were found within 100 kilometers of the nearshore sea, indicating that the US military could not assemble a large number of submarines under the water in this sea area." Major General Zhu Shaoguang, who was responsible for the intelligence analysis of the General Staff, said in confusion, "Can the Americans dare to take the blame for the world and directly attack our non-military targets?"

After listening to Zhu Shaoguang talking to himself, General Yang's heart was thrilled. If this is the case, there is really a city with a population of more than 100,000 in this area. However, since it is a little far from the military target, a complete air defense system has not been established yet. If it is attacked by these tomahawk cruise missiles of the US military, it will be a heavy loss. But unless the Americans are really crazy, they are not afraid of the Chinese launching retaliatory attacks on the US mainland, they will do so unscrupulously.

Now the PLA is not without the ability to launch an attack on American local cities. If the Americans really do this, it will be a situation where the PLA is burning together. Although China once stated that it would not take the lead in using nuclear weapons, who would be so stupid that he would take these words seriously when a large number of people were injured or killed?

President Yang stared at the map and carefully looked at the military targets displayed on it. He was sure that there was indeed nothing special. Suddenly, a somewhat unfamiliar place name flashed through his mind, as if it was within this attack range, and his face couldn't help but change color. "Is Gemini Island in this area?" President Yang asked sternly.

Zhu Shaoguang's face changed drastically when General Manager Yang asked this. As the intelligence officer of the General Staff, he was of course very clear about the place like Gemini Island, but this place is only a civilian aerospace research base under construction, so it was not included in the military target, and there was no time to deploy missile air defense systems for protection.

"Oh no! Gemini Island is within this attack range," Zhu Shaoguang replied dejectedly without asking for any inquiries. He knew that it was a place that cost tens of billions of dollars to be established. If it was destroyed by the US military, the losses would be huge.

But now President Yang is not concerned about this huge loss, but about another possibility, "Is Duke on Gemini Island now?"

Zhu Shaoguang froze and his heart almost sank to the bottom of the sea. Although Duke's whereabouts were highly confidential, as the head of the General Staff Intelligence Department, Major General Zhu Shaoguang is one of the few people in China who know Duke's whereabouts at any time. The other is of course Qin Tairan, who is responsible for Duke's security.

"Dr. Duke happens to be on the island. It's over. Their real goal is to target Dr. Duke." Zhu Shaoguang replied in despair. Compared to the tens of billions of dollars in Gemini Island, Duke is one thousand times more important than it, more than ten thousand times more important than it! The US military did have bad visitors this time, and one blow was fatal!
