Two weeks later, a shocking news suddenly spread on the Internet.
Bald Eagle will hold a maritime exercise aimed at training maritime search and rescue, air emergency support, and integrated sea and air reconnaissance capabilities.
And, they extended an invitation to the east to participate in the exercise.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and with the deliberate help of external networks, the spread of the news rapidly expanded, sweeping the entire world like a wave.
After all, even though the two countries are still at the end of the honeymoon period at this time, the two countries have never had any real military contact or cooperation since 1972.
When Chen Nian saw the news, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
No, he didn't find it unbelievable like everyone else.
Because he knew that during the period from 2006 to 2009, due to various special reasons, the two countries did establish some military ties. There were many large and small joint exercises, the most representative of which were twice.
One of them was a maritime search and rescue exercise jointly held by the USS Qingdao guided missile destroyer near San Diego in 2006. This exercise did not have a military purpose, but was mainly aimed at testing maritime search and rescue and logistics supply capabilities.
The other time was the Peace-09 joint military exercise held in the waters near Karachi, Pakistan in 2009.
The military atmosphere of this military exercise is much stronger, and the main imaginary enemies are maritime extremist forces and illegal activities.
Moreover, although on the surface it is under the guise of "fighting piracy," in fact, the military equipment used by various countries is definitely not equipped to fight piracy.
The exercise subjects even include helicopter landings on each other, live ammunition shooting into the sea, etc.
It can be said that this type of exercise, called an exercise, is actually a secret contest of military quality.
But in any case, the core purpose of such an exercise is relatively peaceful.
——
However, this time it was different.
This time, their purpose is definitely not equal communication.
some where. In a small house.
"It's hard to sharpen your knife."
An old man spoke first. He sighed and continued:
"Since no one wants to comment at the beginning, let me start with this."
"First of all, the invitation from the other party this time can be said to be from Sima Zhao's heart. Everyone knows it. I think everyone knows what they want, so I won't go into details."
"The location of this exercise is extremely special. It does not involve sensitive areas, but it also has great deterrent intent."
"In addition, the list of countries participating in the exercise is obviously selected."
"Our response will determine the entire world's attitude towards us in the coming years."
"So, I hope you will consider it carefully before expressing your opinion."
"You can say whether you want to go or not."
"But if you want to say it, you must give a convincing reason."
After the words fell, the room fell into silence.
He looked around and was about to continue speaking when a soldier sitting in the corner raised his hand.
"Lao Zhang, tell me."
The man named Lao Zhang nodded, stood up habitually, and then said:
"First of all, I agree with your opinion. The reason why they want to conduct this exercise is simply too explicit."
"I dare say that even the stupidest person in this world can see through their intentions."
“But the thing is, it’s one thing to see through it, it’s another thing to know how to deal with it.”
"They personally put us in a difficult position."
"If we don't go this time, then it's clear that events like this will become a regular event in the future."
"But if they go, they will definitely have a backup plan."
"According to them, the most important exercise subject they will organize is the joint maritime and air offensive and defensive exercises, which will inevitably involve simulated confrontations between military equipment from various countries."
"And they will definitely gain a major advantage in the exercise by virtue of their equipment, thereby achieving the same benefits as the 'we will not participate' option."
"So, I have to say, this is a conspiracy."
"Whether we go or not, the outcome is the same."
After hearing his words, the old man nodded solemnly.
A country with the most powerful and advanced navy and air force in the world invites you to conduct a sea and air attack and defense drill on the high seas. Are they really out of kindness and want to let you see their advanced training results and experience? The best military equipment of this era?
How can it be!
Their purpose is just like those evil neighbors.
On the surface, you are invited by name to participate in a wrestling match organized by the village, which shows the deep friendship between him and you.
In fact, it is just to trample you completely in the mud in front of my younger brothers, thereby further establishing my prestige and establishing a stronger alliance with the hunting dogs I raise!
But can you not go?
If you don't go, you will have lost before the wrestling starts, and the final result will be even worse than losing on the wrestling field.
Because those hunting dogs will think that you dare not resist.
And once they establish this concept, there is nothing strange about them coming up to bite you from time to time.
Thinking of this, the old man sighed again.
Then, he said:
"Actually, we don't need to express too many opinions. I think Lao Zhang has made it very clear."
"Our current situation is that we are being held on fire, that is, we have been selected by the other party and used as a backdrop for humiliation."
"For them, we only have two choices, go or not go."
"My opinion is this: If you don't go, you will lose everything; if you try hard, there is still hope. Everyone, what do you say?"
The old man finished speaking, and after a few seconds of silence, the room was filled with the sound of discussion.
"Gotta go, we should go."
"We must go. The situation on the sea, especially in the south, is not stable right now. If we don't go forward, all the little prestige we have finally established will be lost."
"Yes, they have been dancing harder and harder recently. If we show weakness at this time, the result will not be good."
"We have to go, but the question is, how do we get there?"
"J-8 III? It can't fight against the F-16. How about using the J-10?"
"Jian Shi Gai may be possible, but"
"etc!"
A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting everyone's conversation.
"We have a third option."
After the words fell, everyone suddenly stopped in unison and turned their attention to "Lao Zhang" aside.
The latter noticed everyone's expressions, took a deep breath, and said:
"We also do exercises."
"It's in the same sea area."
After hearing his words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
Yes, this time the opponent's move must be followed by our own side.
And, it must be picked up beautifully.
The only way to break the opponent's conspiracy is to defeat them in the area they are best at.
But beating them doesn't necessarily mean following their lead.
You want to practice, you want to establish your authority, can’t we?
You have fighter jets, you can fight in the air, don’t we?
Everyone is showing off their muscles, why can’t we show off?
Even our muscles are stronger and harder than yours!
——
But obviously, neither the J-10 nor the J-8 III can have this capability.
Nowadays, the only equipment that China has that can barely compete with its opponents are those big black fish underwater.
But who would reveal his final trump card on such an occasion?
If he was really that stupid, there would be no need for the other side to do any drills.
Therefore, our only hope of breaking the situation can only be pinned on one piece of equipment.
annihilate twenty-two.
That fighter jet, which was suddenly born like a mythical version, with its extremely superior performance and preliminary tested combat effectiveness, would be able to tear a hole in that giant net.
It is even possible to burn the entire network.
But the premise is that it must exist.
She must be able to fly, fly to that sea area, and return safely.
This is definitely not a simple request.
There is still one and a half months until the exercise date.
Can Institute 601 really do it?
