A very high-level emergency meeting is being held in the X corner building.
In the past, the Joint Chiefs of Staff has been jokingly called the "ballast stone" of the relationship between the two sides because it has always maintained effective communication and exchanges with its counterparts on the opposite side.
Judging from the experience of the past many years, this communication and exchange mechanism has real effects. It can effectively avoid misjudgments on both sides and effectively maintain the fragile bottom line.
However, this kind of communication was interrupted again after they jointly extinguished the uneasy incident caused by Mr. Consultant last year - or to be precise, after the opponent performed a precise and superb interception.
Or to be more precise, perhaps one of the parties no longer feels the need to communicate.
Lord Milley believes that the responsibility does not lie with him.
And this morning, when he received news in his sleep that an aerospace battleship had taken to the sky for a test flight, Mili understood and fully understood why... the other side thought it was unnecessary.
They weren't just talking, they actually built an empty ship.
If it were me, if I had such an empty ship, I wouldn't want to say more.
…
The large screen in the conference room was showing urgently downloaded satellite pictures. Compared with those pictures circulating on the Internet, these pictures from high-altitude spy satellites are obviously much clearer.
When the picture is enlarged, you can even clearly see the outline of the battleship's launch bay.
"Judging from the picture, it uses a concealed launch window, similar to a torpedo launch port. According to speculation, it has at least 120 launch ports."
"This is the moment of missile launch captured by civilians before. These six missiles were all anti-air missiles, launched from the side."
"According to the principle of demand and its mission altitude, we can believe that its ground-attack missile launch bay is at the bottom of the spacecraft - but due to the atmosphere and the tail flame of the attitude engine, there is no clearer picture so far."
"In addition, we also speculate that it must be equipped with an air-based ballistic missile interception system."
A technocrat in his forties stood in front of the big screen and explained to the picture of 3001.
Everyone nodded silently.
Everyone knows that the terminal flight of a ballistic missile is the most difficult to intercept - otherwise everyone would not have been shocked by the interception capabilities demonstrated by CV003 last year.
Of course, after reviewing the review afterwards, everyone tends to believe that the interception of CV003 was probably a performance - because according to repeated radar data feedback, the speed of those superb missiles at that time was not very fast, at least not As fast as they claim.
But this number 3001 "Qin" is different.
The position it is in is an excellent position where you can block the terminal from above and hit the terminal from below. Coupled with their long-distance...
There is no reason not to add a ballistic missile interception system.
"Therefore, we tend to believe that as long as its unit projection is sufficient, it will have absolute dominance in a war zone." After a pause, the technocrat gave an example: "We can think that it is a ship sent to From the sky, a Renhai-class cruiser with more functions and stronger firepower.” (Note: The West considers 055 to be a cruiser, Renhaisruiser)
Everyone was silent.
As a 10,000-ton "cruiser" with 112 launch units, Renhai's firepower projection is naturally powerful - and putting it in the sky...
Coupled with those fantastic technologies and AI...
Lord Mili's expression was stern. When he saw everyone in the conference room fell silent, he said solemnly: "Okay, let's talk about its weaknesses."
"Weakness?" The technocrat was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "If being unable to become invisible is not a weakness, then what I can think of is using ground-to-air and air-to-air missiles to conduct saturation attacks at the same time. As long as it exceeds its defense limit, then it is It’s a living target in the sky.”
Lord Mili's brows furrowed deeply again.
Saturation attack? What kind of weakness is this? !
At this time, Minister Guo Fang’s office
The official coughed lightly: "Sir, what matters is actually not this, but its current location."
Seeing everyone looking at him, the official gently knocked down the table: "We have to judge their intentions. What do they want to do? And when to do it."
Upon hearing this, Lord Mili took a deep breath and became extremely angry.
"How do I know! They don't answer the phone!"
"Then, can we fight?"
"You want to try?"
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the conference room, and a moment later, a staff officer walked in quickly holding documents.
"Your Excellency Mili, the other party sent a message that a restricted military flight zone with a radius of 400 kilometers has been drawn with the current location of No. 3001 as the center."
Everyone was stunned for a moment!
Ban military flights?
The official representing the minister stood up instantly: "Where is number 3001?"
"A place called Pingtan...400 kilometers away, which happens to include the entire island."
Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Lord Mili at the same time.
Is this... about to take action?
After a while, another staff officer walked into the conference room quickly.
"Sir Mili, the President invites you to the White House. Please be prepared for countermeasures."
Lord Mili breathed heavily and asked in a deep voice: "What is the situation of the fleet now?"
"Heading to the area."
"...Although I don't have the authority to issue orders, I still hope that the boys will stay calm."
After saying that, Mr. Milley stood up, took off his hat, and strode out of the office.
…
The night passed.
Slope City.
Linda finished packing, got in the car and quickly headed to the company.
As a mainland reporter for Lianhe Zaobao, she has witnessed and reported on too many first-hand news in the mainland in the past five years. Now, due to her parents’ health problems, the headquarters’ intention to cultivate her, and the fact that she also has to consider her own life-long events ... Therefore, she chose to return to the Broken City.
Frankly speaking, when she first came back, she wasn't used to it.
Because there is no automatic driving here, and using Aita is not as convenient as in the mainland, the newspaper office does not allow her to use Aita for work.
It's okay for her to use it in the Mainland, but it definitely won't work for her to use it when she comes back.
This is a bit like that...
However, her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she had to abide by the rules and ostensibly changed into an Apple laptop provided by the company.
It was said to be a top-of-the-line product, and the exterior design did continue Apple's consistent style, but she was not used to it.
While still on the road, she put on her earphones, secretly connected to Aita with her mobile phone, and began to ask Aita to help her sort out the news that happened last night.
As a top reporter, she certainly knows how big a sensation yesterday's 3001 test flight will cause - if she were still in China, she would have rushed to the GFB press conference by now...
But now... she can only compile a manuscript based on various gossips.
Suddenly, a message from Aita came to her ears, saying that a call was coming in.
"Hey, Mr. Chen, I'm driving. I'll be at the company soon."
"Well, no need to come to the newspaper office, go directly to the main office."
"What?"
"Right now, ZL has something important to announce!" After a pause, the boss added: "To prepare you mentally, it's about a strategic statement."
