In the waters outside the South Island, on the Liaoning ship.
Luan Yijun looked at the fighter planes on the deck preparing to take off with emotion on his face, and said to Cao Gangchuan on the side:
"I didn't expect that things would develop in this direction. I thought this battle with the United States was inevitable."
"It seems that the United States is not as tough as we expected. Imperialism is still a paper tiger after all."
After hearing his words, Cao Gangchuan shook his head in amusement and replied:
"It can be regarded as taking advantage of technology. The new equipment is powerful enough to suppress them."
"Otherwise, if we really take action, from a military perspective, we may not be able to take advantage."
"That's true."
Luan Yijun nodded with deep understanding, and then continued to ask:
"I heard it's related to nuclear fusion? How is it related? Have you read the report?"
"I didn't take a closer look, but the general idea is that the metallic hydrogen explosive used by our YJ-21H is also a key material for nuclear fusion. With this thing, the difficulty of achieving controllable nuclear fusion has been greatly reduced."
"Then in the United States, the economic recession has reached the point where it is almost collapsing. If we fight, we will not be able to achieve results in the short term, so we have to look for other breakthroughs."
"After a while, he shyly came to us to cooperate in nuclear fusion."
"We happened to be short of people here, so we put forward some conditions and settled the matter."
"However, the military was not very involved in this matter, and I don't know the specific information."
"So, the superiors are sure that the US will really not intervene?"
Luan Yijun asked dubiously.
As a soldier and a commander, maintaining suspicion of the enemy is the most basic quality.
Even if his superiors' judgments and orders have been confirmed by many parties, as a front-line worker, he still must maintain the most basic vigilance.
"This cannot be guaranteed 100% - the above requirements are also to maintain a state of readiness for combat. If an accident occurs, immediately implement the previously scheduled combat plan."
"But at least their aircraft carrier formation has withdrawn from the danger area."
"It is impossible for them to have time to block our actions, and it will be difficult for them to organize a counterattack that is beneficial to them."
"Generally speaking, the situation is relatively safe for us."
"There is no absolute safety in this world."
Luan Yijun's tone was a little stiff. He glanced at the combat map aside and continued to ask:
"Are the other combat units ready?"
"Everything is ready. All fleet maritime combat units have entered the alert state and can join the battlefield at any time."
"The missile units on several island fulcrums have set coordinates. If an accident occurs, the first wave of strikes will arrive within 5 minutes."
"In addition, our two Air Police-500s have just entered the mission area, and the data link has been established and is waiting for us to start it."
"Then let's do it!"
As he spoke, the J-20B on the deck had completed preparations for flight. As the takeoff operator waved his arm, the vector nozzle at the tail of the aircraft sprayed out bright blue flames, and the lift fan also began to rotate rapidly. In just a few hundred meters, Within a short distance, the J-20B smoothly rose into the air.
Then came the second and third planes
Within ten minutes, a total of 12 J-20s and 4 J-10Ds all took off. They completed the formation in the air and began to fly towards the South Island.
What they are about to perform is an extremely special task.
It was, perhaps, an exercise.
But a more accurate term would be to describe it as
Looking at the fighter planes fading away in the sky, Luan Yijun breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he picked up the radio at hand and said:
"The drill begins!"
in the air.
The first to enter the exercise airspace was the Wujian-9 surveillance and combat drone, which was still only rumored and had never been seen in real form. It broke through the island with a speed of Mach 3 and a radar reflection area of less than 0.1. An air defense network, flying back and forth over the island, marked the location of all the radars that were powered on.
These position markers were quickly transmitted back to the Air Police 500 cruising around the periphery. The combat situation analysis system of the early warning aircraft immediately calculated the best path according to the mission objectives. After eliminating risk items through manual review, a detailed tactical plan was finally formed. information.
Subsequently, through the data link system, the information is transmitted to various combat units in the air, and corresponding mission targets are automatically assigned.
Eight J-20Bs led eight Rainbow-9 unmanned wingmen that took off from coastal bases into combat positions, ready to enter the mission airspace at any time.
The other four J-20Bs have already relied on their own stealth performance to break into the sky over the island and completed the identification of several command centers that had been identified long ago.
J-10Ds cruised on the periphery, escorted by two J-22s also coming from land, targeting several key airports on the island.
The two H-6Ks released a large number of decoy bombs from a long distance to induce the air defense radar to turn on, and then turned around and returned.
The three H-20s that actually performed combat missions had already reached an altitude of 12,000 meters.
maritime.
According to the data link return information, the fire control radars on the two Type 055s automatically performed various calculations, and the electromagnetic gun pointed at the shore defense facilities at the predetermined landing point.
The vertical hair system is ready, and YJ-21 is ready to go.
Conventional submarines are on guard at the periphery, ready to attack passing support ships at any time.
The missile boats opened the way, and a long and narrow channel was opened on the sea surface. On the periphery of the channel, minelayers quickly dropped magnetic mines to prevent the defender's small ships from surprise harassment.
Following this channel, the landing ship will reach the beach unimpeded.
After the personnel land, the first batch of engineers will quickly establish a beachhead, becoming the first land fulcrum of the entire battle.
rear.
All strategic missiles are ready, and their coordinates point to a certain sea area beyond the island.
When the J-20B carrying out the kicking operation launches an attack, the DF-21 and DF-17 launched from Treasure Island and Yongxia Island will also cover the support force that "may not exist" at sea.
Thick smoke billowed, and milky white smoke trails streaked through the air. Amidst the boiling heat, several eyes slowly opened in the wilderness of the southwest and northwest.
The deep hollow is like a door to hell. I don't know when it will spit out the fire that will devour everything.
This is a large-scale, but silent operation.
The foundation accumulated after decades of development comes out at this moment.
It is like a hammer weighing more than a thousand pounds. When it comes to the head of that small target, all resistance will be crushed.
South Island.
Gu Kuanmin sat in the office, with a calm expression on his face, but also revealed a vague sense of decadence.
After a long silence, he asked:
"Is this really the final answer from Washington?"
You Xijian on the side nodded slightly and replied:
"Yes, Washington has reached a consensus with the mainland that it will temporarily put aside matters related to the South Island and invest in technical cooperation for common development."
"As far as I know, they have begun negotiations on a specific technical cooperation framework agreement, the most important of which is cooperation on nuclear fusion technology."
"At this point, we have no chance."
"The significance of nuclear fusion to the entire world is far greater than that of a small South Island - we have no qualifications and no reason to ask for more support."
"Will China hand over nuclear fusion technology to the United States?"
Gu Kuanmin asked in disbelief.
"Of course not, but they will allow the United States to participate in the project and get the opportunity to share some of the results."
"This will bring huge benefits to the capital market. No matter what the final result is, it will be enough to support the United States in obtaining enough funds from investors to survive the most difficult stage."
"After that, whether they can maintain their hegemony is actually not that important at all."
"Because the change of office is coming soon, and that is something the next president needs to consider."
Hearing this, Gu Kuanmin couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
He seemed to be asking You Xijian, but also seemed to be talking to himself:
"Then what should we do?"
"Having come this far, we have no chance to go back."
"It is no longer possible to even fall to China."
"Or should we make a decision as soon as possible and show kindness to them as soon as possible?"
"But if this happens, public opinion on the island will inevitably boil, and we may not be able to keep our position."
There was a mocking smile on You Xijian's face. He didn't know what Gu Kuanmin was thinking.
It's already this time, and you're still thinking about the so-called "keeping your position"?
Shouldn't you think about how to ease the situation as much as possible, delay the opponent's attack, preserve the independence of this island, and preserve the lives of those innocent people?
In other words, you actually don’t care at all? ——
Yes, when I was willing to use Nandao as a pawn and a shield for the two aircraft carrier fleets, I should have given up my illusions about this generation of leaders.
time to go.
He gently clenched his fists and was about to submit his resignation to Gu Kuanmin, but at this moment, there was a loud bang and the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Then, two security guards in suits rushed towards Gu Kuanmin and quickly grabbed his shoulders.
Gu Kuanmin stood up suddenly. At this moment, he even thought that Huaxia's beheading operation was coming.
"What are you doing?!"
"Follow us, the situation is urgent, we need to enter the bunker immediately!"
Gu Kuanmin struggled a few times subconsciously, but their hands were as strong as iron claws.
"What's going on? What happened!?"
One of them handed his mobile phone into Gu Kuanmin's hand, and the news on the phone made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
Just five minutes ago, China launched a massive exercise.
No sign, no warning.
The navy, land and air forces mobilized in full force and rushed towards this small island.
Yes, South Island became the "blue side" of this exercise.
They haven't officially launched an attack yet, but who knows how far they will go?
You Xijian, who was on the side, followed closely behind Gu Kuanmin. At this time, he had also received the news, and each piece of news was terrifying to the point of "horror".
"The Chinese side organized an exercise, dispatched a large number of fighter planes and ships, and fired live ammunition."
"Missile smoke appeared over the South Island, but the air defense positions did not respond."
"Command center communications are blocked, the reason is unknown."
"Major power outages occurred in the areas where several military airports are located, and the mobilization of fighter aircraft was seriously affected."
"The fighter planes that were already in the air did not find any enemy aircraft and returned without success."
"The radar stations were all exposed and subject to directional interference."
"The naval vessels received a warning from China and have now withdrawn from the so-called exercise area."
In the end what happened?
You Xijian's fingers trembled slightly.
He already felt that this operation could never be as simple as a simple exercise.
But the strange thing is that from this series of information, he can't guess the purpose of the mainland at all.
Yes, our own intelligence, command and combat systems have all been severely hit.
But until now, the front line has not sent back any reports of casualties, and even Taipei, as the command center, has not suffered "the blow it should have suffered."
Except for the military personnel, the entire island was peaceful and peaceful, and the people didn't even know what was happening.
Or was this just a demonstration?
He looked at Gu Kuanmin, who only had fear in his eyes.
Perhaps, the look in my eyes at the moment is not much different from his.
South Island, in a remote town.
Lu Yuan sat leisurely on the steps at the door, enjoying the gentle sea breeze in the spring afternoon.
His sister Lu Wan was peeling an apple on the side, and kept asking various questions related to his experience in mainland China.
".So are they really going to leave the air conditioning on all day? I mean, is it that cold there in the winter?"
Lu Yuan smiled and replied:
"Winter in Xiamen is quite cold. For them, this is a very common thing."
"It's different here. It's warm here and we don't need to keep it on all day."
"It's not really a weird thing--if it's really weird, I forgot to write it in the letter."
"You know, their online shopping is very developed. I think it's even better than Amazon, because they can even buy fresh food online."
"how to buy?"
Lu Wan suddenly became interested and quickly asked.
"I don't know either. Maybe I can ask next time I go there, but..."
However, before he could finish his words, a low roar suddenly came from his ears.
He subconsciously raised his head, trying to find the source of the sound.
——
It's just an instinctive move.
But when he saw the huge, dark figure in the sky, his pupils shrank instantly.
Lu Wan on the side also saw the plane. Compared to Lu Yuan, she was not aware of the seriousness of the problem at this time.
She even stood up excitedly and tried to catch up with the plane that was quickly moving away.
But at this moment, a sharp air defense siren sounded.
Lu Wan's expression was confused at first, and then turned to fear.
She looked at Lu Yuan at a loss, but Lu Yuan stood up immediately, grabbed her wrist, and led her to run towards the only air-raid shelter in the town.
The expression on his face was surprisingly calm, and although he was running very fast, he seemed calm and leisurely.
"Are we going to war?"
While running, Lu Wan asked with a trembling voice.
"no."
Lu Yuan answered decisively.
"If there was a war, we would have no chance of seeing their planes."
"Then why."
Lu Wan wanted to ask again, but at this time, the air-raid shelter was already in front of her.
But there were so many people gathered there that the two of them had no chance to squeeze in.
So, Lu Yuan simply stopped.
He pulled Lu Wan to sit on the steps aside, and then said:
"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."
"This is just a drill."
"No, it should be said that this is a grand performance."
"Perform? What to perform?"
Lu Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly and replied:
"Performance. How to destroy us."
"They wanted to tell the people on this island something."
"They want us to understand something."
"Lord, if they wish, any day can be the end of us."
