Island country, inside a staff headquarters of the Self-Defense Forces.
Version Anxiong frowned and looked at the people in the conference room who bowed their heads like quails and said nothing. He wanted to get angry, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Blame the staff?
No, they did not make any mistakes. It can even be said that they made the best decision within the scope of their ability and power.
Exit the exercise, withdraw from the conflict waters, and leave one ship behind for a last-ditch effort.
It not only ensured its own safety to the greatest extent, but also made the final fight for that important island.
Blame Hideo Fukuda?
Stop making trouble, he is the most heroic person in this incident. Even at the last moment before the impact, the May Rain did not slow down at all.
The reason why he suffered a loss was, in the final analysis, that the tonnage of his ship was too small.
Otherwise, he is really likely to severely damage 052D and delay the opponent's progress.
As for blaming the US?
Even if Anxiong was given a hundred courages, he wouldn't dare to do this.
——
Although they are indeed the biggest fault party, although in this incident, they did not show any qualities that an ally should have.
It’s okay if the missile warning information is not synchronized. After all, this is high-level military intelligence information. Before making a basic judgment, it is understandable that it is not synchronized.
But the problem is that after the incident, the United States kept even their follow-up response plan and attitude secret.
This also caused the island nation to make a major misjudgment of the situation and lose a destroyer that could be regarded as its main combat capability.
After that, all the negotiations with the United States were dismissed by the other side on the grounds that "the corner tower is under study and judgment". Only then did Anxiong finally come to his senses.
The other two parties among the three parties must have reached some kind of consensus in private.
As an important participant in the incident, our side was directly excluded.
This was a great shame. He felt like a dog being led out to bark when his master needed him.
And once they are no longer needed, they will be kicked away, and not even a bone will be given as reward.
But so what? Even if he thought clearly, he would not be able to command his own army and jump up to bite the opponent.
——
Although it seems that our side does have this opportunity.
At this moment, Anxiong's mood was inexplicably shaken, and he even came up with the idea of "there's nothing wrong with giving it a try."
But he soon sobered up again.
After all, you are not qualified to make such a decision.
Thinking of this, he sighed and said:
"At this point, there is no point in holding anyone accountable."
"We can no longer expect them to have to rely on us if they want to fight for our rights."
After hearing his words, everyone in the audience fell silent.
I'm afraid Anxiong doesn't know the version, but everyone's first reaction at this moment is the same.
"On their own"?
How to rely on yourself? Relying on a few destroyers that are less than half the tonnage of the opponent, relying on a helicopter carrier that is only superficial, and relying on missiles that are less than a fraction of the opponent's yield?
Wishful thinking is no longer enough to describe such confidence.
Seeing no reaction from anyone, Anxiong's expression became more severe, but after a long silence, his tone finally softened.
".I'm not saying we have to counterattack accordingly."
"In fact, I also know that this is an impossible goal in the short term."
"So, my request is that all combat units remain vigilant to the greatest extent and do a good job in offshore defense."
"Although I believe that China's goal is only the island and not our homeland, we have to prepare for possible unexpected situations."
"As for the so-called counterattack, let other departments do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present understood what he meant.
The military has given up, and the next "conflict" will probably be limited to "wars of words."
Chiwei Island "Ruins".
The aircraft carrier formation has successfully arrived in the waters of Chiwei Island and established a defense line here.
Luan Yijun looked at the deep blue pit in the middle of the atoll and said with some emotion:
"The development of modern weapons has begun to gradually exceed the scope of my understanding."
"No wonder the other party is so frightened. I estimate that any soldier who has observed the damage caused by the explosion at close range will be shocked by it."
Cao Gangchuan's expression on the side was equally serious. Although the data monitored at the test site had already confirmed to them the power of YJ-21H, or metallic hydrogen explosives, the shock brought by the data on paper and aerial images was still far away. Far less than witnessing it right now.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand to indicate the depth of the crater, and then said:
"Judging from this crater, the data collected before is indeed waterless."
"Unfortunately, the quantity is too small, only two rounds."
After hearing his words, Luan Yijun shook his head helplessly and replied:
"So, that's the biggest problem."
"For metallic hydrogen bombs to form a deterrent, they must be established on the premise that the number is within a certain threshold."
"Too much is not enough. If there are too many, it will directly become a nuclear weapon."
"But if it's too little, it's not enough to be a deterrent."
"This deterrent is still too fragile. In the future, the greatest pressure may still be on domestic technical personnel and intelligence personnel."
"How to reveal the 'just right' production capacity will probably require some effort on their part."
"really."
Cao Gangchuan nodded with deep understanding.
In the past period of time, it can be said that he has had more exchanges with technical personnel than he has had in his decades of military service combined. Through these exchanges, he has gradually understood that the future battlefield may no longer be a battlefield where tactics are paramount. .
In other words, it is true that tactics still come first, but technology will become the base of tactics. If tactics and technology cannot be integrated, we will inevitably fall into passivity on the battlefield.
At the same time, the key to determining victory or defeat is no longer the battlefield itself. The old saying of "conquering the enemy without fighting" has become more and more true now.
The real gunfire conflicts will only occur in the punishment wars between big countries against small countries, and in the melee between small countries.
——
But that certainly doesn't mean they don't need to do anything.
In fact, the most important thing for this fleet at the moment is to achieve actual control of this area.
And to do this, the first thing is to
Plant the flag.
…
More than an hour later, the aircraft carrier gradually approached, the landing craft was lowered, and Cao Gangchuan and Luan Yijun landed for the first time on this island that had been lost for hundreds of years.
Looking at the fortifications built on the island, Luan Yijun couldn't help but laugh:
"You think, should we thank them now?"
"If it weren't for the roads they built, it wouldn't be that easy for us to go up the mountain."
Cao Gangchuan sneered and replied:
"I didn't repair it myself. It feels disgusting when I step on it. When the Sky Whale fleet comes over another day, it will shovel all these things."
".You are a vindictive person."
Luan Yijun climbed up the steps step by step, and as the altitude rose, his sight gradually broadened.
After reaching the highest point, he subconsciously looked around and found the direction due east.
"That's our continent over there."
"Unfortunately, from this angle, you can't see anything at all."
"But I know it's there."
"Everywhere we go, it's there."
Luan Yijun took a long breath, and after a long pause, he continued:
"Today, there should be a lot of people's eyes focused on this island."
"In ancient times, wolves were enshrined in the cubs, but today, shouldn't we also regard planting flags as our highest pursuit?"
Upon hearing his words, a mysterious smile appeared on Cao Gangchuan's lips.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Luan Yijun took the flag that had been prepared from the guard on the side.
The sea breeze roared past, and the steel flagpole was inserted into the rock crevice, splashing a fleeting spark.
Cao Gangchuan took a step back, and following his actions, all the soldiers present and even the soldiers on the distant ship raised their right hands.
Luan Yijun straightened his back, and the next second, his right hand suddenly rose up.
A flash of red bloomed between the clear sea and sky.
