Chapter 17 The South China Sea Wind Rises
At the special meeting of the Central Military Commission, which was presided over by Liu Yun and delivered by Han Feng, adjustments were made to the deployment of military forces around China and in the South China Sea.
Of course, Han Feng only proposed the direction, and the specific plans and plans must still be completed by the military, and some of the contents were immediately added to the rewritten annual training plan.
Therefore, when the 071 "Jinggangshan" amphibious dock landing ship of the South China Sea Fleet of the South China Sea Fleet marched in the South China Sea with a mighty task force, the countries concerned could only express their worries, but could not raise questions -- the annual training plan had naturally been determined a long time ago! We don't come out on a parade or drill against a specific country......
Of course, there is no specific target, because the plan is aimed at all the countries around the South China Sea!
Even on the "Jinggangshan" and all the large ships, the most loaded were not ammunition and equipment, but heavily armed marines!
As soon as they left the military port, all the combat ships took off their gun jackets and activated the anti-air and anti-sea search radars and weapons fire control radars. Although it was declared that it was a routine military exercise, the orders received by the troops were directly issued in the form of war preparations! And at the end of the military order, it was repeatedly emphasized:
"We must safely and quickly deliver all Marine Corps soldiers to every island and reef in the South China Sea!"
In the whole order, there is no word for "exercise" at all. Therefore, for this improvised naval task force, this operation is operation!
Three 095 attack nuclear submarines have already moved forward to the perimeter of the formation and have begun to take on anti-submarine missions. The various types of long-range antisubmarine patrol planes and early warning planes of the Navy and Air Force have installed a pair of sharp eyes for the formation. Around them, there are groups of Su-27s, Su-30s or J-11Bs, all loaded with live ammunition, ready to attack the enemy in the air!
This can be described as the largest joint "exercise" in the history of the Chinese Navy and Air Force, and it is absolutely the first time in the history of the Republic that it has dispatched a large number of warships and fighters, advanced models and performance, and a large number of "exercise" personnel in the "exercise."
About 50 nautical miles behind the "exercise" troops was a larger formation where all the large supply ships and transport ships of Huaxia were concentrated. Their task is much simpler -- once the troops are ashore, they will quickly replenish them with all kinds of equipment and all kinds of supplies, and they must ensure that the combat troops are required to consume them for half a month!
At the same time, there is a slightly smaller mixed formation that has crossed the Taiwan Strait and is heading southeast—it belongs to the Huaxia East China Sea Fleet and will go south from the territorial waters of China near the Philippines. And it is also carrying out the same combat missions as the South China Sea Fleet.
In order to enhance the atmosphere of the "military exercise" and achieve the desired effect of the "military exercise," the two formations did indeed conduct live firing along the way, which was vigorous and lively.
However, Western military observers have something to say: "If the so-called exercises of Red China have been firing naval artillery shells and rockets, such an act is completely turning back the clock of history!" ”
Hehe, everyone is just putting on a show, why take it too seriously? It is not clear whether they drove any reversing, but the two formations, one east and one west, were like two big pincers, entrapping the entire South China Sea in it, and the place where they met was the southernmost part of the Chinese Maritime Frontier, Zengmu Dark Sand......
In particular, after the formation in the East China Sea left the port, as soon as it entered the open sea, it was constantly tracked and monitored by US and Japanese military planes. Even though the fighter planes of the navy and air force along the Chinese route escorted away, and even the fire control radars irradiated each other and the fighters almost collided, they could not get rid of these tarsal maggots.
-- The direction of the war is not here, so why should we take such a fuss as a surprise?
When the strategic goal is achieved and the entire South China Sea is controlled, the United States and Japan, in addition to taking the initiative to provoke a war, can only secretly hide in the corner and cry and draw circles.
Even if they really want to start a war, won't they look overhead, will there be "air and space bombers" that are silently haunting? And what kind of gift will it bring?
…………
In the face of such aggressive and sudden military pressure from China, countries in the South China Sea have expressed great concern.
Such a powerful naval force, although it is an exercise "within the annual training plan". However, if China is only a smokescreen but has an ulterior motive, then for the countries surrounding the South China Sea, it will be an out-and-out war of annihilation -- if China wants to.
All of a sudden, all kinds of protests were in the dust, and the busiest people were no longer journalists, but diplomats from the relevant countries.
Summoned or summoned, condemned vs. counter-condemned, protested vs. counter-protested......
In short, the white track ploughed by the Huaxia naval formation in the South China Sea seems to have caused the sea temperature in this sea area to rise a lot, and there are signs of boiling.
"The military force sent by Huaxia has affected the balance of power and national security of the South China Sea and surrounding countries, and we must pay attention to it at any time!"
No one expected that the first one to jump out and accuse was actually Japan!
In addition to the intensified build-up of the Maritime and Air Self-Defense Forces and the continuous donation of seaplanes and patrol boats to certain countries in the South China Sea, this unrepentant country has also sent high-ranking officials at various levels to visit countries around the world one after another, in an attempt to seek public support and government sympathy.
After all, the South China Sea oil shipping lanes are the lifeblood of Japan's economy!
In this regard, the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China is very direct:
Fuss!
Following Japan, the Philippines began to express its position very excitedly:
“…… We will pool the strength of the whole country and work with other neighboring countries to jointly deal with the military threat from China. At present, the Philippines is ready at any time and will definitely deal a head-on blow to the invading enemy! ”
- Head-on? Just your little World War II sampan? The toad yawned, and his breath was not small.
The Chinese government did not answer, and even at a regular press conference, when the spokesman was asked about the matter, he was unprecedented: "This is a very boring topic - next!" ”
Vietnam's reaction was much more intense than that of the Philippines.
Demonstrations, demonstrations, sending fishing boats to the Philippines to pick up soldiers who have left their posts at odds, wantonly attacking Chinese diplomatic institutions and Chinese-funded enterprises in Vietnam, and even Western media gloating reports: two submarines of the Vietnamese Navy have gone to sea, and air force fighters have begun to frequently change places and increase patrols in the South China Sea, "After 1979, the most direct military dialogue between the two countries is very likely to take place in the South China Sea!" ”
Huaxia said very plainly that each country has the right to mobilize its own military deployment, and Huaxia did not comment on this, but if it wants to continue to steal chickens and dogs in the neighbor's yard, "we are ready to fight the necessary means to crack down on robbers at any time."
As the Chinese state has become more assertive, the United States has begun to retreat a little, and its spokesman has only expressed concern about the situation in the South China Sea and called on all parties concerned to resolve the issue through negotiations.
In this regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China said that China has no intention of friction with countries in the South China Sea. It's just a routine exercise, and it's already "much less dense than the U.S. exercise, so there's no need to pay too much attention to it." ”
At the same time, the Ministry of National Defense of China, which has always kept a low profile, uncharacteristically came forward to invite mainstream media and government observers from major Western countries, such as Britain, France, and Germany, to take a newest Chinese medical ship to the South China Sea exercise area to jointly observe, report, and judge this large-scale exercise of the Chinese Navy.
In the face of unprecedented transparency in China's military history, the Western media that had tried their best to slander China suddenly lost their voices and sent their own teams of reporters to China to conduct on-the-spot interviews.
For a time, "South China Sea" has become the hottest term in the world.
Foreigners watched with wide eyes any wind and grass in this sea area, and the Chinese people shouted happily, and even the first words of the meeting became:
"Is it going to be a fight today?"
There are even folk masters who directly compare the naval and air forces of the countries in the South China Sea with the Chinese fleet one by one, and make animations, which are widely circulated on the Internet. However, the most intriguing thing is the headline:
"Han Ling, what do you think?"
…………
The strife and hustle and bustle in the world did not affect the mood of the owner of Wu Reclamation.
Since this guy led his disciples to copy the islands and reefs of the South China Sea, he has stayed in the cave of Ao Jing, the Dragon King of the South China Sea. lived a fairy life with wine, money to gamble, and people to harm them.
Ao Ping Ao Jing and his wife had nothing to do with this cheeky guest who came to the door automatically, and it was impossible to start fighting, so they had to go out together to "avoid trouble" under the pretext of inspecting the sea frontier, and completely empty the cave to Lao Wu and leave him to fend for himself.
Wu Reclamation has a hat on his head and sits on a small sampan. There was wine and food in front of him, and a thin fishing rod pointed diagonally towards the sea. And on this small boat, which is difficult to even turn around, there is a huge Chinese flag. There was a lot of concern that if the sea breeze had been a little stronger, the boat would have been capsized by the flag......
"The master of the door shouldn't be so stingy," Lao Wu took a sip of wine and thought about his thoughts sullenly:
"Could it be that our old Wu is too careful?"
"Fuck it, since you've come here, and things have been done, if you can't keep these islands and reefs smoothly, it's a trivial matter to be laughed at by Ao Ping's family, if you disappoint the owner, Lao Wu might as well jump into the sea and drown!"
The thing muttered to himself, taking a big sip of his East China Sea wine, while secretly thinking about whether he should also send a few jars to the door owner. This is an ancestral secret recipe, is its effect - men, all understand......
Old Wu smiled strangely, as if he didn't know that under the water not far from him, a huge shadow was slowly approaching......
