Chapter seven hundred and ninety-two
When Duke "destroyed" all the Tomahawk cruise missiles, the military only breathed a little relieved. Soon, the J-11C of the two brigades who were ordered to take off urgently flew to the airspace of Twin Island as fast as possible to guard against a new round of air attacks launched by the US military. With these fighter jets, if there is another cruise missile attack, they can use fighter fighter missiles to directly shoot down these lower-speed cruise missiles.
The helicopters arrived earlier than the Air Force fighter jets. In the county closest to Gemini Island, two Mi-171 transport helicopters were ordered to go to Gemini Island to respond as soon as Duke reported that he had destroyed the cruise missile.
These are some of the tricks Qin Tairan prepared to protect Duke's safety. I didn't expect that today would come in handy. Although everyone is just a false alarm now, who can predict that the US military will not take further action. Therefore, the most important task is to evacuate Duke to the mainland. Following these two helicopters are two teams of the local armed police squadron mobilized by Zhao Lie earlier. They will enter Twin Island and replace Zhao Lie to eliminate the remaining enemies. Zhao Lie's defense team will evacuate the mainland with Duke. This elite escort force responsible for Duke's safety will only follow Duke's operations.
On the other hand, due to the "excellent" performance of the Gemini Island beam energy electromagnetic launcher this time, the military has re-understood the Gemini Island. The General Staff urgently ordered the East China Sea Fleet to send a small fleet led by the 052D destroyer to sail to the Gemini Island waters at full speed, preparing to temporarily act as an air missile defense barrier for Gemini Island. At the same time, the plan to set up a complete missile air defense system around Gemini Island is also being formulated by the General Staff.
Now Twin Island has been upgraded to an important military base that the military must protect. Not only will air defense systems be established around the island, but independent island protection squadrons and maritime guards must be set up on the island, from the level of defense to the same level as the Lotus Nuclear Research Base and the DSM weapon R&D base, it will probably not be much inferior to the defense power of Diaoyutai in the future.
The above are just protective measures for the military to make up for the failure. In terms of foreign retaliation and strikes, military leaders were very angry at the US military's attack. Vice Chairman Liu, who was attending the Standing Committee at that time, directly slapped the table after receiving Duke's attack by the US military's openly dispatched nuclear submarines to launch cruise missiles, interrupted the agenda of the Standing Committee, and proposed to Chief No. 1 to temporarily withdraw from the seat and return to the Military Commission to handle this matter specifically. The bigwigs of the Standing Committee heard that the US military was so arbitrary, and expressed their support for any strong and tough counterattack from the military on the spot.
Now we no longer need to compromise and keep a low profile. Although from a military perspective, we will have a greater chance of winning a comprehensive counterattack in three to five years, and from an economic perspective, we need a stable external environment to develop, but in this respect, the Americans have bullied us, even the clay Buddhas present have a bit of nature. Faced with this naked slap in the face, we cannot just condemn a few words from a diplomatic condemnation, and must carry out an effective counterattack in the military.
Therefore, when Vice Chairman Liu returned to the Military Commission, an emergency Military Commission discussion was immediately held. The only theme of the meeting was to discuss how to launch an effective retaliatory blow to the US military's provocative behavior.
On the other side of the ocean, the CIA and the US military were shocked through the Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and saw that the Gemini Island was still safe after the Tomahawk cruise missile exploded. Because the Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft suddenly lost contact (when the Bilme aircraft entered the Global Hawk radar radiation range, Bilme removed the Global Hawk). The CIA was not sure what was amazing that changed the situation.
However, in order to welcome the possible outbreak of anger after the Chinese were attacked, the US military ordered all garrisons stationed in Asia to be elevated to the highest alert state, and the air defense system was in a state of war. According to Snyder's team's analysis, the PLA is very likely to strike US military bases in Asia through missile attacks.
Currently, these bases deployed in Asia are "accessible" to the PLA missiles and the air force. Snyder's team carefully deduced dozens of plans and concluded that the place that is most easily attacked by the PLA is the Naba base of the US military. Because opposite Naba not only has the most dense ground-to-ground and surface-to-sea missile bases deployed by the PLA, but also the largest group of combat aircraft of the PLA, which can be said to be the area with the most powerful combat power deployment of the PLA.
In response to this situation, Snyder has long suggested that the military deploy a large number of Patriot missile defense systems at the Naha base and the Japanese army, covering the Naha base tightly. At the same time, the US Pacific Fleet also deployed the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier battle group at the Naha port. This battle group has five Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers with Aegis and the Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyers. These advanced air defense warships provide Naha base with powerful sea-based air defense capabilities.
Therefore, Snyder's team analyzed that even if the People's Liberation Army launches retaliatory strikes against Naha with missiles, the US military will have enough air defense forces to defend, and the losses will not be too great.
According to Snyder's group's deduction, after the People's Liberation Army launched a counterattack, the Chinese not only gave an explanation to the inside, but also had a clear understanding of the People's Liberation Army's capabilities, and they gave up knowing that they could not compete with the US military in terms of military strength, so that a new balance would be achieved between China and the United States again.
According to Snyder's team's deduction, although the PLA has qualitatively improved its combat power, it is still a defensive force for the US military in general. As long as there is a missile counterattack against Naha's base, Chinese leaders can explain internally and appease the rising nationalist boom in its country.
In order to analyze China's possible reaction, Snyder's team hired a famous strategic analysis agency like Rand, which was a lot of money. Therefore, after facing the hypothetical analysis report on the consequences of the attack provided by Snyder, Director Noland of the CIA made up his mind to promote this extremely bold plan. If the attack was only exchanged for a local conflict with China, for Noland, the consequences of the US side are completely acceptable. Anyway, for the current Sino-US relations, there is a difference between more and less. Anyway, it is now in a confrontation stage. It is very difficult for Americans to attack China's inland areas, and casualties cannot be controlled. But on the other hand, the People's Liberation Army cannot take advantage of the US military.
But now this nearly perfect plan has had a huge deviation. Faced with the sudden attack of the US military, looking at the unscathed Chinese, the Americans were disappointed on the one hand, and breathed a sigh of relief on the other hand, because the pressure of the People's Liberation Army's anger was invisibly smaller.
However, Americans relax too early.
Soon, the Military Commission unified its understanding, and the military leaders unanimously agreed to respond strongly to the US military's actions. Two hours after the incident, the spokesperson of the PLA released radar image materials to the world of the US military's brazen attack on Chinese civilian facilities, strongly condemned the incident and warned the PLA reserve the right to initiate revenge at any time.
In the face of China's accusations, world public opinion expressed serious concern about this new round of conflict between China and the United States. The Secretary-General of the United Nations expressed regret for the attacks of the US military and called on China and the United States to resolve disputes between each other through political negotiations based on the development of world peace and development, and not to take any military action to intensify the current tense situation.
The Russians condemned the Americans' actions, and their diplomatic spokesperson warned that any hegemonic act could endure the consequences. The Germans and the French expressed regret, believing that military actions increase the risk of war breaking out in the current tense confrontation between China and the United States.
Of course, this time the British and Japanese still stood behind the Americans without hesitation, saying that the evidence released by China does not explain anything. The unscathed Chinese side cannot prove that the US military's Tomahawk cruise missile is targeting civilian facilities.
Faced with these external reactions, Vice Chairman Liu sneered contemptuously and personally issued an order to attack the target Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in the United States at the General Staff Operations Command Center.
At this moment, the 097-class nuclear submarine Youyi in the Bermuda waters was the 238 and 239 ships that the Pacific Fleet was ordered to carry out global submarine missions. After receiving the combat order from the headquarters, the captain of the 238 ship Zhang Han and the captain of the 239 ship Cao Yunhai launched an attack almost at the same time. Eight latest models of DH-10 cruise missiles jumped out of the sea like dragons, and then began to lower the altitude and flew towards the target against the sea.
After the launch, the 238 and 239 immediately let the "fish school" system wandering on the sea self-destruct, then drove at full speed and began to evacuate the fire area at full speed and sailed towards the South Atlantic Ocean to avoid the US military's upcoming sea and air search.
Compared with the Tomahawk cruise missile, the PLA's new DH-10 cruise missile will abandon the turbofan engine in the last 150 kilometers and instead use ramjet rocket engines to drive, so that its terminal speed can reach three times the speed of sound. Compared with the subsonic speed under the turbofan engine, the interception difficulty of the DH-10 cruise missile entering the terminal combat state is more than ten times higher.
