Chapter 535: Heaven Descends on the Continent
Chapter 535: Heaven Descends on the Continent
Lao Ao almost had the feeling of a dog, but soon he had a feeling of rejoicing, because he was about to step down, and the next thing didn't have much to do with him, although such a thing happened, but it didn't have much to do with him.
After all, no matter what happens here, it will be difficult for the United States to intervene, and the current China is not the China of the past, and anyway, even if there is a piece of mainland China wants to use, the construction period will take several years, so this is not worried, it has nothing to do with him.
Leave these things to the next president.
Regardless of Lao Ao's feelings, all the leaders and government departments of other countries in the world have a feeling of being dumbfounded, what the hell is going on? But no matter what, now that things have happened, it stands to reason that it is not impossible for new islands to appear in the ocean.
But in this case, it is usually an undersea volcanic eruption, and then the magma of the volcano forms a new island and reef directly in the sea, but such an island is not very useful, because the place where such an eruption is generally an active volcano, and if it is an active volcano, it is impossible to develop and build.
And the islands and reefs formed by volcanic eruptions will not be very large, but this time it is different, more than 10,000 square kilometers of area, this is obviously not volcanic eruption, and when you rush out of the water, you will know that it is a rock on the bottom of the sea, which means that this should be formed by squeezing two continents and then lifting a piece of land in the middle directly.
However, such a violent plate movement has not occurred for I don't know how many years, which is consistent with the movement of earthquakes with a magnitude of more than 10 detected before, and only such a large movement will meet the criteria of such an earthquake. However, the only thing that relieved everyone was that such a large plate was lifted deeply, and the plate was squeezed, and there was no huge tsunami.
This is simply unimaginable, if it is really a 10-magnitude earthquake, the result of a tsunami is probably unimaginable, and in the end, it is estimated that the whole of Southeast Asia will be completely swept by the tsunami, it is terrible, I don't know how many people will die.
It's just that it stands to reason that such a large plate is too deep, and the volume alone doesn't know how many cubic kilometers there are, so what about the seawater dismounted by such a large continent?
Could it be that when the continent was lifted deeper, a huge hole was opened in the ground, allowing a lot of seawater to pour directly into the ground?
Everyone has some things to figure out, even some scientists who have received from governments to analyze it, but if they can't figure it out, they can only think about it, because this situation is obviously not over yet.
Eight hours later, when the last tremors finally stopped, satellites from all over the world had already focused on the South China Sea, but at this moment the map of the South China Sea had completely changed, and a new huge island appeared in the waters of the South China Sea.
Nima, the situation in the South China Sea is going to really change, because the area of this island has reached a terrifying 20,000 square kilometers! In the past, China only reclaimed a few islands and reefs in the South China Sea, and as a result, the stance of these Southeast Asian countries wavered.
This means that the distance between China and these Southeast Asian countries has not only been shortened, but there will also be a huge military base on this island, and there will be not only airplanes on it, but also all kinds of other warships and the like.
This is unacceptable for any country, especially for the United States, which means that the United States has blocked China's first island chain, the second island chain and so on are completely ineffective, which is still a piece of.
In particular, the location of this island is so critical, although it is not very critical, but in fact, this place is very close to the location of the Strait of Malacca.
Originally, ships entered the Pacific Ocean from the Indian Ocean, except for the southern side bypassing Indonesia, passing through the world-famous strait of Malacca, and then heading north into the South China Sea, which is almost an empty sea between Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
After entering the South China Sea, ships can go east directly to the Philippines, then east to South America or North America, or north to China's Hainan or northeast to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and then back to Japan or South Korea to North America.
And China's influence in this area was weak in the past, because the islands and reefs in the South China Sea were too small, and then the United States had good relations with countries like the Philippines, Vietnam, and Malaysia, including Singapore, which meant that China's influence in the South China Sea was too small until the navy was not strong.
Because these are not within China's control, according to the original development, it is estimated that it will take at least 20 years or so for China to have several aircraft carrier formations before it will have a strong influence in the South China Sea. This is true even after the construction of airfields on the former Fiery Cross Reef and Mischief Reef.
Because the airfields in these places are too small, there are too few fighter planes and other combat planes, not to mention the small area of the islands and reefs, and the amount of fuel and ammunition stored is not much. In addition, the distance from China to here is too far, and the transportation is also troublesome.
But now, it's completely different, in this originally hollow area, there is a 20,000 square kilometers, almost as huge as China's Hainan Island, which means that there are not only military bases on it, but at least hundreds of thousands or even with the number of Chinese population, it is not a problem to immigrate one or two million people.
Then the problem is, when there is such a large population, it is impossible for this island to be attacked or destroyed by the enemy, and those small islands and reefs in the past can be said to be completely solved by a single bombing, but now it is not possible.
When this place cannot be solved, it means that the area affected by this island can radiate at least 2,000 kilometers! That affects almost the whole of Southeast Asia, and it also means that China has directly driven a huge nail here!
Whether it is the US aircraft carrier group or the fleets of other countries, it will be very difficult to enter the South China Sea this time! In the past, you could enter as you wanted, but now, if you want to enter, hehe, this is the same as if you drove the aircraft carrier formation directly to the vicinity of China's Hainan Island about 200 kilometers.
This is entirely within the range of shore-based anti-ship missiles, and it is possible to install as many missiles as there are on land! The US aircraft carrier battle group is so strong that it cannot directly confront the firepower on a piece of land.
And the location of this island is exactly no more and no less, it is located in the middle of the South China Sea, whether it is the distance between the northwest and Vietnam, or the distance between the Philippines in the east and Malaysia in the south, it is about 200 kilometers.
This means that any ship that passes through the Strait of Malacca and wants to follow its previous route will come under China's control.
It doesn't matter if you are a civilian ship or a military fleet, this civilian ship is a little better, after all, this civilian ship is not bad news, but it is good news, which means that there is a huge port where these civilian ships can be grounded, and the chance of danger in this vicinity is small.
But for warships and fleets, this is a desperate situation! If the US aircraft carrier squadron wants to come here again, unless it wants to directly enter the actual control area of China and the range of shore-based anti-ship missiles, it can only bypass Indonesia from the southern side of Malaysia and the Philippines and then enter the Strait of Malacca.
If it were to be bypassed, it would mean that the U.S. aircraft carrier group would need to go directly around the northern side of Australia, passing through the Australian port of Darwin and the southern side of Timor-Leste, and between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. That's at least five or six thousand nautical miles more.
This is simply a desperate existence for a fleet, you know, such as destroyers, how far can the combat radius be exercised? This will require serious replenishment, although there is Darwin Harbor, an American military base, in the middle to replenish.
However, this still means that China has relied on this island that appeared out of thin air to directly and completely block the entire Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean travel route! All of a sudden, the so-called first and second island chains of the United States have completely rendered their role useless.
You can't blame Lao Ao for being in a hurry, when the final result came out, the chairman and the others had already experienced strong winds and waves, but they were still flushed with excitement, what this meant, of course they were very clear, and although the secret was only known to a few of them.
However, the chairman and others immediately convened a secret meeting, of course, as soon as possible, all the fleets that had been patrolling nearby immediately began to go to the new island and sail around the island, and then the reconnaissance plane directly dispatched and began to directly photograph the situation on the island, and then see how the next plan would go.
Chairman: Halfway through the meeting, a middle-aged man walked in, quietly walked to the chairman's side and whispered a few words, the chairman immediately nodded, and directly ordered a few insiders to stay, and then convened a secret emergency meeting first.
After the others left, the chairman said directly: "This is the detailed data about the entire island that Zhao Chen passed to us just now. After saying that, he directly let the middle-aged man play all the data through the computer.
When these data appeared, the chairman couldn't help but be amazed, because this is so perfect!
