Chapter 369: A Soldier Who Surrenders Without a Fight
Of course, in the past half a month, far more than that.
Although the US Government has tried its best to block the news, China, Russia, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and other countries have long been aware of this, and the Japanese have even speculated that last year's Tokyo Air War was related to this mysterious organization.
Seeing that nothing could be done, the U.S. government immediately adopted a smarter approach to the incident.
On the one hand, Austria sent Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to various European countries to prepare for the next NATO summit, and on the other hand, the United States secretly sent people to lobby the political leaders of various allied countries, and even provided them with samples of metal batteries.
The new energy revolution has already involved the question of whether a country can continue to maintain its leading position in the future, and it is not interesting to those advanced industrial countries.
On 25 May, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) held a press conference announcing that this year's NATO summit would be held in Washington, D.C., a week later, where the heads of state would exchange views on the North Korean nuclear issue, the post-war reconstruction in Afghanistan, the civil war in Syria, and the Somali issue.
Most of the world's attention is on North Korea and Syria, and only the major powers know that the target of this summit is Somalia.
In this regard, the Chinese government directly warned Chen Xin through guò Qiao Ting, and the United States is likely to persuade other countries to send ground troops to form a coalition at this summit to completely sweep away the warlike forces in Somalia.
At the same time, as if to deter Chen Xin. Six hours after the news conference, the new-generation "Arleigh Burke"-class guided missile destroyer successfully intercepted a medium- and long-range missile target missile with the kinetic warhead of the "Standard-3" missile in the central waters of the Pacific Ocean, proving to the world that the United States still possesses the most powerful ballistic missile defense system in the world.
Chen Xin understands that this is a warning from the United States to himself, after all, the United States has a nuclear arsenal of more than 5,000 nuclear bombs, and he only has one ballistic missile nuclear submarine, and the two sides are not an order of magnitude at all.
What's more, the United States has the world's leading missile defense system, and if it uses nuclear bombs, it will definitely lose a war, not to mention whether it can keep Somalia at that time. Even China could be affected.
This kind of outcome is not what Chen Xin or even the United States hopes to see. Therefore, the next confrontation will inevitably unfold at the conventional level, as for when and where exactly it will start. That depends on the choice of the US military.
However, Chen Xin did not want to give the US military such initiative.
……
Inside an empty hangar at Mogadishu International Airport. Chen Xin held a thin tablet in his hand. I am perusing the latest information on the Pentagon's military exercises in Somalia obtained by the Gangtong Guò network.
"Twelve divisions of 500,000 coalition ground forces, 1,500 warplanes, six aircraft carriers. Fifty warships of all kinds, fifteen nuclear submarines, more than thirty military satellites, Lao Dou, Yankees, this is the rhythm of hanging us!"
Although this is only a Pentagon war game, it can already be seen that the Americans attach importance to the sudden situation of the war.
Such a scale of military strength has already exceeded the number of US troops participating in the 2003 Iraq War, and at that time, Saddam Hussein still had nearly one million army units, thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, hundreds of Scud short-range ballistic missiles, and several thousand artillery pieces of various large and medium calibers.
But what does Somalia have? In addition to tens of thousands of armed militiamen armed with rifles, rocket launchers, and other light weapons, these 300 warplanes can be used.
The problem is that modern warfare is a system war, and what is emphasized is the confrontation between systems.
For example, if a war breaks out between China and Japan, even if China uses conventional means of warfare, the winner will be China, and there is no reason for it to be more sophisticated than Japan's.
Some people may say that the warships of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force are more advanced than China, the Japanese submarine forces are also more advanced than China, Japan has the most advanced Type 10 main battle tanks in the world, and Japan has the largest echelon of anti-submarine aircraft in the world......
But do these work?
Japan lacks the most basic air and space combat capability, and China can destroy Japan's military satellites with anti-satellite weapons, but Japan is not capable of attacking Chinese satellites.
Even if he has this capability, does he have the means to quickly deploy satellites? China's solid rockets can launch small satellites in a short period of time to make up for losses, while Japan also does not have this capability.
To be more specific, Japan does not have attack missiles with a range of more than 400 kilometers (including anti-ship missiles and land-attack missiles), and does not have enough fighters with over-the-horizon air combat capabilities (Japan's F15J cannot launch medium-range interceptor missiles, although there are plans to upgrade them in the near future). These two points alone were enough to wipe out the entire Japanese Navy and Air Force.
To put it mildly, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces have long been castrated by the U.S. military as a defensive auxiliary army, and it's okay for you to let him fight with the U.S. military, but to go to war with a big country alone is simply a fool's dream.
Chen Xin's situation is similar, if not more sinister.
Because he only has these 300 fighters, plus a ballistic missile nuclear submarine that can be seen and used.
You can let them participate in large-scale air battles and carry out large-scale bombing of the enemy, but they will absolutely not be able to withstand the attack of a modern army of hundreds of thousands of people, not to mention that as long as the US military cuts off the fuel input around Somalia, these planes will probably have to lie on their stomachs, and if there is another naval blockade, then even the source of ammunition will be a problem.
Previously, in the United States, the U.S. military could only watch Chen Xin lead this group of planes away, but once they arrived in Somalia, it was completely unreliable to raise hundreds of modern fighters with such a country's industrial base.
Of course, the biggest variable in this depends on the steel hammer, if there is no steel hammer, Chen Xin will kneel directly, but with the steel hammer, every qiē will become different.
"Old Bean, what do you say we should do? Do you want to take the initiative?"
This is a good method, taking advantage of the strong individual combat capability of these fighters, Chen Xin can completely take the initiative to attack and not give the US troops a chance to assemble and establish an encirclement.
But for Chen Xin, this is not the best choice.
Chen Xin smiled and said, "Gangyi, have you ever heard of what is called the highest level of war?"
"The highest level of war?"
Chen Xindao: "This is the famous saying of a military master in our country, called a soldier who surrenders without a fight. What it means is that there are many ways to achieve a certain goal, and the smartest is to achieve the ultimate victory without a single soldier. ”
Gangyi was puzzled: "Old Bean, what do you mean?"
Chen Xin laughed, pointed to a very sci-fi plane in the hangar and said, "Next, it's going to be up to it!" (to be continued......)
