While the U.S. and Japanese naval formations were sitting in the waters of the Dongsha Islands, the East China Sea and South China Sea fleets had concluded the largest joint military exercise of the Chinese Navy since its establishment in the waters off the Riau Islands in Indonesia, southwest of the Tsangmu Shoals and on the road to Singapore. Then they parted ways and sailed back together.

It's just that it's not the same way back.

The East China Sea Fleet moved northward along the western part of the South China Sea, that is, the eastern coastline of Vietnam, and from time to time held some small-scale live-fire exercises along the way.

The South China Sea Fleet was much luckier. They traveled along the southern part of the South China Sea, Indonesia, and northern Brunei, along the coastline of the Philippines, and then returned to Sanya, Hainan, after arriving at Zhanjiang Port to rest and recuperate. And the whole route happens to pass through the Dongsha Islands.

What is even more coincidental is that just two hours after the US-Japan mixed formation was collectively dismantled by the "South China Sea Demolition and Relocation Office" and the propeller, the Type 051 destroyer headed by the South China Sea Fleet discovered this group of unlucky counterparts.

It was noon on October 11, and the warm sunlight reflected the warships on the sea in detail, which was a perfect weather to take pictures. Although the officers and men of the South China Sea Fleet did not know why such a large fleet group would be anchored here to play the game of "scarecrow", they were ...... for the opportunity that was delivered to them If you don't shoot white, you don't shoot, you have to shoot if you shoot!

What made Rear Admiral Wilson of the United States even more furious was that the commander of the Chinese fleet had no gentlemanly demeanor at all, and actually stopped next to the circle of American and Japanese warships!

The rear admiral watched as the excited Chinese sailors held all kinds of photographic equipment, from mobile phones to DVs, and even a professional-looking film camera that kept shooting at various types of US warships, shooting from multiple angles and in all directions. However, the U.S.-Japan formation can only be like a stiff beauty model, unable to move, and completely helpless.

The rear admiral immediately called the guò maritime public channel to lodge a solemn protest to the happy Chinese naval fleet around him, and protested fiercely against the other party's blatant act of grabbing intelligence!

I thought that the Huaxia Navy would obediently pull out the anchor and set sail and leave quickly, but unexpectedly, I quickly got an angry answer from the other party:

"We are photographing the beautiful view of the South China Sea. As for you, the general, as well as your fleet? I'm very sorry, in order to leave us with the most unforgettable and beautiful memories of this trip to the South China Sea...... Can you move away a bit? ”

If Lao Tzu can still move, who wants to fish and bask in the sun in this hellish place?! Major General Wilson was already short-tempered, and directly issued an ultimatum:

"If you don't stop leaking US military secrets, I will regard it as an act of war against the United States!"

The South China Sea Fleet immediately gave a very frank reply:

"This is the exclusive area of China's marine economy! In order to crack down on some of the recent impersonation of Chinese law enforcement agencies in the exclusive zone, we have been ordered to conduct regular military patrols here! ”

"If you insist on staying here and not leaving, and make statements that threaten China's national security, and dare to take action......

In the communication channel, the voice from the South China Sea Fleet paused for a moment, and immediately shouted loudly:

"Our warship formation has been authorized by the Central Military Commission, and once it is discovered that the Chinese military and civilians are being attacked by any country or any force in the South China Sea, they have the right to immediately launch a self-defense counterattack!"

War against war, the Chinese military has not been so tough for a long time. When the fleet's reply was synchronously sounded on the radio of the various ships in China, the officers and men could not suppress the excitement in their hearts and immediately cheered.

If you want to fight, I will fight!

This is the iron-blooded backbone of the Chinese nation that has stood for thousands of years without falling!

The reply of the South China Sea Fleet fell on the ears of Wilson and Togo Fukai, but they couldn't help but worry about it.

Since the founding of New China, every war it has fought has been named "self-defense and counterattack", such as the Korean War, Zhenbao Island, Vietnam, India, ...... It's all like this, as if the whole world is bullying Huaxia!

But in reality? Which one have you lost in Huaxia?

The United Nations forces were forced to sign an Armistice Agreement in Korea; The Soviet Union attacked Zhenbao Island, but was beaten to the point that it lost its armor; India, which received rare joint support from the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, was driven down from the Himalayas like a sheep. With the support of Huaxia openly and covertly, the United States was forced to withdraw its troops from Vietnam, and since then the Vietnam War has become a pain in the heart of the United States. Vietnam, on the other hand, was so naughty that you almost moved its capital because you taught it a lesson......

Could this all be the so-called "self-defense counterattack"? Perhaps the only thing you value most is "counterattack" - which one is not counterattacking into the other country's borders?

Hmph, I guess even the so-called "don't fire the first shot" is just to find an excuse for the "counterattack", right?

Hehe, you are cunning, and we Americans are not stupid! How could you fall for your evil deeds so lightly?

Wilson was trying to protest to reduce the danger of misfire, but he heard a report from the communications officer that the commander of the Japanese fleet, Togo Fukai Keny, had taken advantage of the unpreparedness of the Chinese fleet to launch a surprise attack. As long as this fleet is annihilated, it will be able to gain sea supremacy from the South China Sea to the Taiwan Strait, and from then on, the richest south of China will be directly exposed to the threat of artillery and missiles from the allied forces of the United States and Japan! At that time, the Chinese government will inevitably throw a mouse, and will not let the United States handle it in the world?

Finally, Togo also said that the Japanese fleet was ready for an attack. As long as General Wilson gives an order, he can launch an attack in an instant!

In fact, from a tactical point of view, Togo's mention yì is not without a little feasibility -- most of the Japanese officers are very fond of pondering tactics. But from a strategic point of view, it is not the case at all!

At present, the United States is facing difficulties in riding a tiger in the Middle East, and it must mobilize all its armed forces before it dares to continue to launch an offensive against the Arab League. The elimination of the South China Sea Fleet at this time would be a declaration of war against China -- and it would be a sneak attack that Japan is best at, and I am afraid that no American in his right mind would have made such a choice.

Of course, whether the construction of Dongxiang also contained other purposes is not something that Wilson can know now. The biggest wish of the captain of the "Kitty Hawk" now is to take the entire US fleet out completely and out of this strange sea area!

Absolutely, absolutely no war!

-- Attacking the most powerful South China Sea Fleet in China with a bunch of "target ships" that cannot move?

Are you crazy? Or have you gone completely insane?
