Americans are not mad dogs, that's for sure.
At least when they are not stepped on by someone's tail, they will not bite people everywhere, or they will not bite people at will, which is also certain for Fan Wuxi.
In this world, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason, this is still certain for Fan Wuxi.
Therefore, he is basically certain that the bombing of the embassy by the Americans this time is absolutely impossible to be an unintentional act on a whim, nor can it be that they really want to provoke a nuclear war, and there is obviously a deep-seated purpose in this.
"Why? Is it really for them to lose an F-117 stealth fighter? Fan Wuxian asked on the phone, obviously feeling that this reason was not very sufficient.
It is true that the Americans lost one F-117 stealth fighter, and it is also true that they directly lost $120 million, and it is even more true that they may lose pilots because of this, but the sum of these things is not enough to cause the US fighters to brazenly launch a missile attack on the Chinese embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
On 24 March, NATO began air strikes against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
After the bombing began, NATO continued to increase . The intensity of air strikes against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In the initial stage, NATO concentrated on striking at military targets in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in an effort to eliminate the effective forces of the Yugoslav army, and then began to bomb government institutions and important civilian facilities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The waves of bombardment were constantly increasing, increasing in intensity and intensity, and the bombing continued almost non-stop twenty-four hours a day.
As of 7 May, NATO has taken a toll on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. After 45 days of bombing, the military installations of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia have been bombed several times, and the civilian facilities have been completely destroyed, but the authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia still do not give in. If the bombing is stopped at this time, it will be tantamount to declaring the failure of NATO's military operation, and if the bombing continues, what other targets can be bombed? NATO is caught in a dilemma.
Friday, May 7. Night, Berg. Ryder was dark. At 8 p.m., air raid sirens sounded as usual over Belgrade. After the alarm, the whole city fell silent.
In order to ensure ties with the country and for the needs of work, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is stationed in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The embassy uses a backup generator to generate electricity. Because the power of the generator is not large, it cannot supply power to the whole embassy, so after the completion of the day's work, in order to facilitate everyone's rest and entertainment, only power is supplied to the embassy club.
The embassy's club is housed in the semi-basement canteen, where usually. It is a restaurant that becomes a place for entertainment on weekends and holidays. The so-called semi-basement means that the windows are half above ground and half underground. On weekends, embassy staff come to the underground hall of the so-called club to rest and entertain. Especially on days when the power is off, the embassy generator supplies power to the club, and of course more people come here.
At about 11:45 p.m., there was a sudden loud noise. It was as if there had been a strong earthquake, and the entire embassy office building shook. The fixed glass windows were pushed into the house, the doors inside and outside were thrown outside, the ceiling was falling, the wall skin was peeling, the lamps in the house were broken, and the glass was flying. Broken glass and concrete blocks hit the bed and sofa with a clatter.
Comprehensive all aspects thoroughly. According to the information revealed, it was the American B-2 heavy stealth strategic bomber that bombed the embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. After a 15-hour long flight from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, the plane arrived over the Chinese Embassy in downtown Belgrade, dropping several bombs one after another.
The B-2 stealth strategic bomber is called the Star of War, and it is accompanied by an air tanker, which has an electromagnetic interference system on the plane, which sends jamming electromagnetic waves to the radar of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, paralyzing the communication system, surface-to-air missiles, and electronic warfare equipment of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and enabling the bombers to smoothly bomb targets.
At that time, it was believed that the bombs dropped on the embassy in Yugoslavia were cruise missiles, but in fact, this possibility should be ruled out. The Tomahawk cruise missile is the main ship-based ground attack weapon of the US Navy, which has a high hit accuracy and great destructive power. However, the Tomahawk cruise missile is limited by its flying trajectory, and its low flight speed and flight altitude make it difficult to obtain the energy needed to penetrate the five-story building of the embassy stationed in Yugoslavia, and it is also difficult to realize a multi-angle attack on the same building from different directions and heights when a single ship launches continuously or multiple ships launch at the same time.
From the scene, it was about five or six bombs that caused the disaster, and it was difficult to identify because there was no special equipment.
But judging by the structural layout of the bomb bay of the B-2 stealth strategic bomber, two bomb bays are located side by side on both sides of the longitudinal axis directly below the fuselage, and each bomb bay can hang up to eight bombs on its rotating launcher, for a total of sixteen. In order to ensure stable flight of the aircraft, all bombs or missiles must be hung in two bomb bays in equal symmetry, both before and after the bomb is dropped. This means that it is impossible for the B-2 stealth strategic bomber to carry only five bombs, and it is impossible to keep one to take back. It is conceivable that this sixth bomb had either been drilled into the ground, and the entrance was obscured by the ruins of buildings; Either they will be abandoned to the bottom of the sea and become a time bomb in the water.
In short, whether it was five or six bombs, judging from the number of bombs dropped and the layout of the bombs, the bombing was carefully planned, and the intensity of the blow and the ruthlessness of the attack were really rare since NATO bombed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
"After the incident, Clinton has called Chief No. 1 several times to explain and apologize for the incident." Fan Heng said to Fan Wuxian on the phone.
Although Clinton made a timely statement, Chief No. 1 never answered his phone call, so Clinton could only apologize in public, stating that the incident was purely accidental and not intentional.
Fan Wuxian nodded, and naturally knew in his heart that the necessary manipulation at this time was the most important, and it was also one of the ways and means to win the initiative, no matter what the inside story was, but what the public saw was that the Americans bombed the Chinese embassy, which was obvious.
The bombing of the embassy is unprecedented.
At this time, there were also Western media propagating that the purpose of the Americans in bombing the embassy was that Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic had taken refuge in the Chinese embassy.
Take 10,000 steps back and say that even if Milosevic really took refuge in the embassy, the United States and NATO would not have the right to bomb the embassy. Looking through the history of diplomacy, there are many examples of high-ranking politicians, including presidents and prime ministers, and even ordinary citizens, taking refuge in foreign embassies. In accordance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the premises and residences of embassies and their territories are sacred and inviolable. The attack on the embassy was a gross violation of the Vienna Convention and the basic norms governing international relations, and was also intolerable to heaven and human nature.
It is impossible for the Americans to brazenly bomb the Chinese embassy in order to kill Milosevic, and this is not cost-effective.
Fan Wuxian suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said to Fan Heng, "Is it the idea that you are hitting other people's planes, so the Americans are desperate?!" ”
Fan Heng's voice on the phone suddenly became hoarse, and he said after a long time, "Don't stay in Jiuquan, hurry back to Beijing, there are some things that need you to run errands." ”
Hearing his father speak like this, Fan Wuxian felt a little more sure of his guess in his heart.
The U.S. military's F-117 stealth bomber is an excellent bomber developed by Lockheed Martin in the seventies, its stealth effect in addition to its unconventional aerodynamic layout appearance, but also related to its surface coating can absorb radar waves, the result of these efforts makes it have a very excellent stealth ability, so as to achieve the tactical effect of covert raids, after several local wars, it has won the reputation of the myth of not being shot down.
Therefore, when the Yugoslav military used the old SAM missile to shoot down the plane, almost the whole world was shocked, so many spy agencies were staring at the wreckage of the world's first real stealth plane in service, and this wreck is in the territory of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, of course, the Chinese side is no exception to want to get this kind of good thing, for the Chinese side, if it can get a part of the wreckage, such as the appearance of the skin, it is completely possible to decipher, and master this technology, and develop the technology of anti-stealth coating. As a result, the technology that the United States has studied for many years and spent a lot of energy and money will no longer be invisible in front of China.
At least 12 of the 30 reporters of the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia at that time were agents engaged in espionage, and in fact, many foreign envoys and reporters of every country were engaged in this work, but all countries remained silent about this.
The CIA of the United States found Chinese reporters near the scene of the downing of the plane, and this information immediately aroused the great attention of the American authorities, and after weighing it, it was decided to destroy the wreckage of the crash, which could cause heavy losses to the United States, rather than let it fall into the hands of the Chinese.
It is said that after the US F-117 stealth fighter-bomber was discovered using the lidar provided by the Chinese side and shot down with a modified Sam missile, the Chinese side immediately asked the Yugoslav government whether it could provide part of the equipment and wreckage of the F-117 for China to study, or even pay for it.
After the agreement was reached, the Yugoslav government secretly handed over the F-117's navigation equipment, the remains of the skin with hidden paint, and the heat-resistant parts of the engine nozzle to the Chinese side, and placed them in the basement of the Yugoslav embassy for the study of Chinese military experts.
However, Chinese military experts did not know at first that the F-117's navigation equipment was equipped with a classified self-destruct device, which would self-destruct if the plane crashed, blowing up the most important component of the navigation system. However, the problem happened: after the crash of the F-117, the self-detonation device failed.
Fortunately, the Americans also have a trick to do things, the built-in power supply of the navigation system is still working, and the positioning information is continuously sent, which allows the Americans to find the precise location of the F-117 wreckage in a very short time, although the Chinese side quickly cut off the power supply after discovering it, but it is conceivable that the Americans were taken aback at the time and decided to prevent outsiders from learning the core secrets of the United States at all costs.
Of course, at that time, the Americans had many ways to solve the problem, such as sending Navy SEALs to retrieve these things, but in the end the Americans still chose the method of missile attack, according to Fan Wuxi's estimate, this is also very dissatisfied with China's international support for the Yugoslav government, after all, the sophisticated weapons used by the Yugoslav army are provided by China, and at the same time, they can completely destroy the wreckage of the F-117 obtained by China.
This explains why a laser-guided bomb had to go directly through several floors to the basement of the embassy, however, the Americans were once again disappointed that the most important bomb with a capacity of 450 kilograms of explosives did not explode, and the Chinese side finally retrieved some parts of the F-117, which greatly helped the development of the Chinese stealth aircraft.
Fan Wuxi's mind is loaded with these things, so he is naturally a little distracted, the question he is concerned about now is whether the military has obtained these legendary things, and the other is whether his father Fan Heng called him back to Beijing, whether it is a personal act or some other arrangements, this matter is indeed worth considering.
He Yun hadn't seen Fan Wuxi turn around for a long time, so he looked for it, but saw Fan Wuxi over there with his head down and thinking about the problem, so he asked, "Is something wrong?" ”
Fan Wuxi raised his head, nodded very seriously and said, "It's a very serious matter, you can just look at the news on the Internet, and it is estimated that it will be talked about on CCTV news soon." ”
"What the hell is going on?" He Yun asked in some surprise.
At this time, the matter had not yet spread, so most people did not know that the bombing of the embassy had happened, let alone that it could be so complicated, and the high-level officials had already begun to stay up all night for this sudden incident.
"Well, our embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was bombed by an American plane, and the number of casualties is still uncertain." Fan replied expressionlessly.
"Huh?!" After He Yun heard the news, his eyes widened in surprise, and he felt that it was difficult to accept for a while.
How could this happen? The rule that the two countries have been fighting each other and not cutting them off has been observed since ancient times, and in fact it has been maintained in this way, but the Americans, who have always flaunted how they are, have brazenly bombed the embassy and trampled on international law.
This world is a little crazy! He Yun hoped from the bottom of his heart that this matter was not true.
But looking at Fan Wuxi's appearance, it is absolutely impossible to deceive himself with this kind of thing, right?
There are no pop-ups
