Zhan Tianxiong looked at the TV screen in front of him with shock, and what was playing on it was the scene of Luan Yijun waving the red flag into the sky.
In the voice-over, the host was still introducing the situation at the scene, but Zhan Tianxiong could no longer listen at all.
His mind was filled with one question:
Is this thing so easy to take down? !
You know, just a few days ago, he had connected several fishing boats that were not afraid of death. He planned to go to the island to take a look at it in a while and secretly put the flag on it.
And now, before anyone has been contacted and the boat has not even been filled with fuel, this matter has been handled?
How dare they?
Of course, Zhan Tianxiong has never doubted the strength of the navy. In his opinion, there is no stronger team in the world than his own country's army.
But he was indeed a little disappointed during this time.
Unexpectedly, the reversal happened so quickly.
Less than 24 hours later, the news first reported the incident on Chiwei Island. At that time, the information was not complete. Everyone only knew that Chiwei Island was bombed by a missile, but they had no idea what this meant.
And then, while everyone was still discussing whether the missile was accidentally fired or was intentional, news broke from the island country that one of their warships almost sank.
At that time, Zhan Tianxiong had already begun to celebrate. He felt that the suffocation in his heart had finally been exhaled.
So, he stepped up his plan and planned to take advantage of the favorable weather to rush over with his ship in one go.
His idea is simple:
Anyway, it exploded and crashed. Now my fishing boat is here, what can you do to me?
If you have the ability, you can catch me too and see if the Liaoning guarding the side will agree?
Unexpectedly, he didn't even have the chance to execute this plan.
The ones above are more ruthless than him.
What does this mean?
This is clearly telling the whole world that this land is mine, and what is mine is still mine after all, you can’t take it away!
Relieve your anger.
Zhan Tianxiong looked at the flash of red silently. The video was taken from a helicopter, and the photographer was obviously not a professional reporter. The picture was shaking badly.
But he felt that there was nothing more beautiful than this.
At the same time, a funny idea came to his mind inexplicably:
I used to be sneaky, afraid of being discovered or caught, but now I'm better.
Now
It’s legal!
Thinking of this, Zhan Tianxiong could hardly help but rush to the ship immediately, turn on the turbine power to the maximum, and rush into the sea.
Not to fish, but to show off in a arrogant way.
Of course, he also knew that he couldn't think about it for the time being.
Because according to the news, the navy's fleet will also organize long-term training and exercises there, and civilian ships will not be allowed to approach for the time being.
So all he could do was rush out the door, blend into the celebrating crowd that spontaneously gathered on the street, and follow them to shout and cheer at the top of their lungs.
This kind of celebration lasted for four or five hours. It was not until dinner time that everyone dispersed and went to find restaurants to eat in small groups.
——
Naturally, there is food at home, but now, this group of fishermen, who mainly make a living by fishing and live by the sea all year round, really need a hearty drink.
"Relieve your anger, it's so relieved! We don't have to be restrained anymore from now on!"
"There are not enough boats. There is such a big fishing ground over there and my boat can't fit in it. I have to change boats quickly!"
"Are you sure? Are they all ours? It doesn't mean much if there are only two islands!"
"What do you know? As long as those two islands are nailed there, the sea area that can be controlled will be wider. Let's go with peace of mind. We will definitely make no mistakes."
Their topics are inseparable from their own livelihood and things related to the sea and fish.
This is not because their vision is not long-term. From a certain perspective, it is even the opposite.
They have seen far enough ahead to know what it means.
That means that if fishermen like them encounter similar things on the sea in the future, even if they cannot be dealt with immediately, justice will definitely be demanded.
——
Not like before.
In a relatively written sentence, that is:
The expansion of military power brings about the expansion of civil rights.
Or to give an example, in ancient times, the places that war horses could reach were the places that sheep could reach.
Isn't this enough? Isn't this signal obvious?
Zhan Tianxiong took a deep gulp of wine, feeling a little regretful in his heart:
It's a pity that I didn't see the impact with my own eyes, and I couldn't go to the sea in person and do my part.
But then I thought about it, so what does it matter?
It doesn't matter anymore.
Today, if you have wine, you will get drunk.
On the other side, those who reacted strongly to this matter were, of course, not only the fishermen with the "most relevant interests", but also other people who had been paying attention to the matter for a long time.
On the increasingly developed Internet, the discussion triggered by this incident exceeds any public opinion in the past.
"How did it happen?"
"Once it entered the soul, it was mainly because the beauty was scared away."
"What kind of missile? Is it from 055?"
"The latest report: The missile tested this time is DF-21H, or YJ-21H, which is the latest model of ship-borne hypersonic anti-ship missiles. Where does this thing come from? Why have you never heard of it?"
"YJ-21H? Modified, right? What has been modified?"
"Obviously, it was modified to contain explosives."
"It is said that it is not a nuclear weapon. Looking at the speech on the corner of the US side, there is no mention of nuclear weapons. It may be some kind of new bomb - do you remember the total nitrogen anion salt some time ago? I guess it has something to do with this."
"That should blow up an island with one shot. What kind of excessive damage capability is this?"
"If it exceeds the standard, it is equivalent to a sub-nuclear bomb. After all, the island itself is not big."
"That's it? You're upstairs, you know how to talk."
"That's what it is. What's all the fuss about? The Americans also have this kind of technology, and it's not like they've made anti-matter bombs."
"Ignore the guy upstairs. He must have neglected the situation during the war. Look at his history speech. He swore before that there would be no 055, but he was slapped in the face not long after."
In addition to the discussion about the mysterious missile, naturally, the public also has their own speculations about the subsequent development.
However, most of these guesses are repeated, and if you want to sum them up, they can actually be summed up in two sentences:
This island has been obtained, but what about that island?
This opponent can be bullied, but what about that opponent?
No one can answer these two questions.
But compared to the widespread pessimism before, the people now have obviously regained their confidence.
In Li Xiang's office.
Chen Nian leisurely ate the meal packed back from the cafeteria. Although it was still a bland and healthy meal specially prepared by a nutritionist, unlike before, he ate it with gusto today.
Without him, it's just good news.
Next to him, Li Xiang was eating and processing the latest public opinion data. After finally putting down the computer, he said to Chen Nian with emotion:
"You have to rely on real actions. After this wave, the previous pressure has almost completely disappeared."
"Whether it's internal or external, there is a tendency for public opinion to turn, especially in the South Island, which can almost be said to have lost its voice."
"This is very strange - logically speaking, shouldn't they jump out and join the island countries in condemning us?"
Hearing his words, Chen Nian smiled, shook his head and replied:
"They are not so shameless."
"Although they have opposed us in every field and have done a lot of things like dogs trying to bite us, in the face of the absolute bottom line, no one dares to mess around."
"To put it bluntly, the territorial issue is an unshakable basic principle. No matter how big the dispute between us and them is, to a certain extent, it is something that can be resolved behind closed doors."
"If they surrender to the enemy, they don't really mean to let the other party intervene at will."
"Although I lured the wolf into the house, in the end I still wanted to fight for the family property."
"But if you say that the house failed to reach a conclusion and the vegetable patch at the door was given away, that would be unreasonable."
"Don't talk about us, even their own family members can't agree."
"So, on the issue of that island, they can only support it, not oppose it."
"But the current situation does not allow them to applaud, so we have to pretend to be dumb or blind."
"That makes sense."
Li Xiang nodded slightly and continued:
"This metaphor is quite interesting - based on our previous observations, they indeed have this attitude."
"However, after Gu Kuanmin came to power, public opinion there also changed."
"He seems to be deliberately downplaying the issue, probably trying to skirt around the edges."
"He's playing a little bit of a hammer blow."
Chen Nian pursed his lips in disdain and replied:
"This man is a standard speculator. As long as it is beneficial to himself and his family, he will not hesitate to sell his biological father."
"To be honest, I really want to suggest using some extreme measures against him, but unfortunately I can't - his victory in the general election is basically a certainty. This little progress we have made is not enough to shake his power on the island. Popularity.”
"If there really is a commotion later, this person will be a huge obstacle."
"It will be dealt with when the time comes."
Li Xiang's tone was a little gloomy.
As a front-line member of the public opinion front, he could feel the disgust of Gu Kuanmin and his group of people even better than Chen Nian.
But based on a certain principle, one's own intelligence agency cannot engage in violence casually - he does not doubt the correctness of this principle, but is a little regretful that even if the matter finally comes to an end, the old man's biggest punishment will not be the death penalty. at this point.
After a slight pause, he continued to ask:
"Ignoring his side of things, the metallic hydrogen bomb has been unveiled. When do you plan to announce it? Do you have a plan?"
The reason why he asked this question was because he knew that metallic hydrogen was of great significance, and public opinion and intelligence agencies must be prepared for it.
"It will be within the next few days at the earliest."
Chen Nian thought for a moment and replied:
"Metallic hydrogen cannot be concealed. In the early stage, for the sake of production, we introduced domestic qualified laboratories on a large scale to participate in the manufacturing process."
"In fact, this itself is a short-term hemorrhage-stopping measure that saves soldiers and saves cars."
"It is simply impossible to keep such a large-scale event and such a complicated schedule completely secret."
"I estimate that the other party's intelligence network has already been activated."
"In less than three days, they will be able to detect the key information of metallic hydrogen and even estimate our approximate production data."
"You also know that our deterrence is based on the key point of 'quantity'. Once the output is determined, whether they will continue to follow this plan is another matter."
"So, instead of just sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to spread the information and at the same time, carry out some exaggerated propaganda."
"After all, they can get the data, but other countries can't. As long as other countries can't figure out our details, deterrence will still be effective."
"The time difference between other countries exchanging information with the United States is the window period during which our deterrence can be sustained."
"This time, as long as one month, is enough for us."
"A month? Not so pessimistic, right?"
Li Xiang frowned slightly, and then said:
"Except for the Five Eyes alliance countries that have close relations with them, in fact within NATO, their intelligence system does not operate so smoothly."
"That is, the UK may respond quickly, but France probably will not."
"Coupled with the fact that we have a spare tire that will inevitably lean towards us, and India, an unstable factor that you can't figure out their movements at all, it is impossible to reach a consensus in one month. It is unlikely, I think it will take at least two months. "
"Then I don't care. I only consider the worst case scenario."
Chen Nian spread his hands and said:
"And, the most important thing is that in another month, our Wujian-9 will be tested."
"When the time comes, it will take over the baton and form a new deterrent for us."
Hearing this, Li Xiang couldn't help but sigh.
"Even though it's all good news, why do I feel that we are so pitiful?"
"is not that right?"
Chen Nian smiled helplessly.
What Li wants to say is "poor" is actually something he himself deeply understands.
In military terms, the opponent can attack at will, but our own defense is on thin ice.
When will this day end?
It is even possible that even 096 is not enough to end this fragile balance chain.
But at least, in this chain, China's biggest gamble has been won.
What is going to happen next is to advance step by step.
No detection -9, Julang -3,096.
Over the next few months, these three cards will be played one by one.
We don’t know whether the United States can tolerate it, but the South Island must not be able to tolerate it.
At the same time, on a certain sea surface, an aircraft carrier had arrived at its scheduled battle position.
It will wait here for three days, in conjunction with the civil aviation aircraft that is about to visit, and pour the last spoonful of hot oil on the entire situation.
