Chapter 117: The Chinese Soldier Taking a Selfie (Part II)
Lose your marbles!
Journalists are crazy, newspapers are crazy, TV stations are crazy, the Internet is crazy, and the government is crazy!
Everybody is crazy!
And the reason they're crazy is because of a video recorded on a cell phone on CBS's evening news.
In that video, China's submarine is flying the national flag and playing the national anthem, using a loudspeaker to expel the aircraft carrier and its frigate fleet from the South China Sea in the joint U.S.-Philippine military exercise!
Anyone who saw the video went crazy, and they tried to verify the truth of the news through various channels, to ask China and the United States if they were going to start a third world war.
This is a military confrontation between China and the United States, two of the most powerful countries in the world, and no one dares to underestimate the implications contained in it.
All of a sudden, all eyes were on the two governments.
……
President Obama feels that he has been unlucky lately, and since Alma, a lieutenant colonel pilot at Kadena Air Force Base, flew an F-22 "treason" six months ago, he has sensed that something has changed in the U.S. military that is out of his control.
And just a few days ago, after he learned from the director of the National Security Agency Rogers that the two pilots on the aircraft carrier "Steanis" had lied and falsely reported the high performance of the Chinese J-20, his sense of ominousness became clearer.
Sure enough, his foreboding was finally confirmed this evening, when his assistant played a video on his computer.
"I wonder, what the hell is going on with this Tama?"
White House.
President Barack Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, Vice President Dick Cheney, NSA Director Rogers, CIA Director John Brennan, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, and Secretary of Defense Carter are sitting here for an emergency meeting.
And as soon as the meeting began, Oba Niu cursed a rare swear word.
Hearing the president's questioning, no one reacted, because the incident exceeded everyone's expectations.
This is different from the last time the Chinese submarine entered the core defense circle of the "Kitty Hawk" aircraft carrier, and the reason why the last time the submarine was able to enter the aircraft carrier defense circle was because the "Kitty Hawk" was too careless, and after the submarine dived, the US military kept watching the other side leave.
But this time it is different, this time the US military is conducting military exercises, not only are there early warning planes patrolling in the sky, there are Aegis-class frigates cruising on the surface, and even there are three submarines secretly protecting them underwater.
However, in this situation of three-level joint defense on the water, in the water, and underwater, the submarines of the Chinese Navy still easily entered the core defense circle of the aircraft carrier, what does this mean?
It shows that even if it is really in a state of war, the Chinese Navy can do this!
Moreover, the most important thing is that the submarine showed its head on the surface of the sea, and after a provocation and then dived again, the US military actually lost a trace of this submarine!
Whether it was a U.S. submarine or something else, the submarine was never found again!
"Why don't you speak? Director Brennan, I would like to ask, what is the use of all the money that the state has allocated to you for the CIA? Have you fed the pigs!! ”
Oba Bull angrily confronted CIA Director John Brennan.
"Forehead ......"
John wiped the sweat from his forehead and tried to defend himself, but eventually said, "I'm sorry, it was our mistake." ”
Hearing John Brennan's confession, Oba became angrier: "You're sorry? Then who is sorry for our people?! Have you watched the video, have you seen what the Chinese Navy is doing in the video? They play their own anthem in front of our glorious US Navy! ”
As he spoke, Oba played the video again.
So, for the first time in history, the Chinese national anthem was actually played inside the White House in the United States.
Listening to the majestic and powerful Chinese national anthem, everyone in the conference room only felt a hot pain on their faces, and they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Seeing the shame and anger on the faces of the crowd, Oba nodded to himself - he naturally did this on purpose, in order to arouse the momentum of the common hatred of the people.
After all, the fact that Huaguo's submarines appeared around the aircraft carrier so quietly was too demoralizing to the Americans, and everyone would have thought that today's Huaguo submarines would appear around the aircraft carrier, and tomorrow they would be able to appear around the Statue of Liberty!
Therefore, after learning about this incident, Oba's first thought was not how to deal with the impact of this incident on American society, but how to arouse the confidence of these leaders first, because Huaguo has a very good saying, it is called that the mourning soldiers will win, and only when everyone works together can they maximize their work efficiency.
That's why Oba Bull went into a rage in the White House conference room and replayed the humiliating video.
And judging from the current results, Oba's strategy has clearly succeeded.
"Mr. President, I think the first thing we need to do now is to convince the public that there is no intention of fighting a third world war between us and China; Second, we need to try to convince the public. The threat of Chinese submarines to our country is not as high as imagined; Finally, I am afraid that we will have to make changes to some of our policies towards China. ”
Rice, Oba's most trusted national security adviser in the White House, was the first to stand up and speak after the video was played.
"Yes, Assistant Rice is very right, the first thing we need to do is to calm the panic of the people in the country."
Vice President Cheney followed suit: "Moreover, I don't think this is entirely a bad thing, as long as we take advantage of it, it is a perfect reason to increase military spending." ”
As the United States has maintained its position as the world's largest military power for a long time, the domestic public has become more and more disgusted with the leaders spending taxpayers' money to increase military spending, and they are increasingly concerned about some health care reform or economic reform.
"I agree with Vice President Cheney's statement, seeing the strong stealth performance of Huaguo submarines, I think it's time for some of our military's research projects that were originally cut back on!"
Secretary of Defense Carter also said.
"In terms of ways to reduce the threat of Chinese submarines, I think we might be able to explain to the public that we didn't send our own submarines to participate in this exercise......"
Secretary of State John Kerry frowned and said, "Although it is a lie, I think this is the most direct way to alleviate public panic, but it will require the cooperation of the military." ”
"Of course!"
Secretary Carter of the Department of Defense replied immediately.
Looking at the discussion of his colleagues, Oba Niu smiled secretly, this is the result he wants, as the most powerful country in the world, Oba Niu is confident that there is no problem that they can't solve after taking it seriously.
……
Just when the White House was studying how to deal with the crisis of the submarine incident, a carnival feast was set off on the Chinese Internet.
It's been too long.
It's been so long that many netizens can't remember the last time the Chinese ** team was so tough, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in 79? Or the Battle of Nansha in 88?
But those events are too far away, since the arrival of the Internet age, netizens have been in contact with our country the most, provoked, provoked......
And what about the government's response?
Protest, condemnation, condemnation, protest......
I don't know when the Chinese government, a large government that controls one-fifth of the world's population, has absurdly become synonymous with weakness in the hearts of netizens!
But......
It was at this time that the incident of the Chinese submarine destroying the American aircraft carrier broke out!
So, almost instantly, all the netizens were in high tide!
The previous humiliation, those weakness, seemed to have become a teasing foreplay for a while, in order to wait for the moment when our submarine expelled the American aircraft carrier this morning!
Crazy!
All the Chinese are crazy!
Countless netizens watched this short two-minute video over and over again, crying once they watched it, and shed tears once they watched it, but they were still reluctant to turn off the video......
What's more, they bought firecrackers to celebrate......
On a meager note, the number of retweets about this video has already exceeded 10 million......
The headlines, all of which were swept by the submarine destroyer incident......
At this moment, every Chinese is standing on the united front!
The Navy is mighty!
Huaguo is mighty!
This is the only voice of all Chinese people after watching the video.
And this kind of crazy lake, to be honest, neither Zhou Lichuan, who decided to float up to expel the US military, nor the Huaguo leadership, who has been watching this scene from the holographic video, did not expect it.
The popularity of this Internet feast has simply swept the whole of China, and anyone who can access the Internet knows about it!
When people chat online, it all becomes a topic related to this matter.
But slowly, people feel that just discussing and watching is a bit unenjoyable, and they can't release their enthusiasm at all, after all, it is the navy that destroys aircraft carriers, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with themselves.
So-
I don't know which netizen uploaded a PS picture on the Internet.
And it is this photo that seems to pour a barrel of high-concentration burning gasoline on this already hot situation, instantly igniting everyone's enthusiasm!
This is a photoshopped picture titled "Selfie of the Chinese Navy".
In the picture, a soldier in a blue camouflage uniform is holding a camera to take a picture of himself, and the most eye-catching thing is the background behind the soldier, a black submarine hull at his feet, and in the distance, a huge aircraft carrier, and on that aircraft carrier, countless foreign soldiers are looking at this place with panicked faces.
There is no doubt that this picture is fake, but it hit the G-spot of many netizens.
So in less than half an hour, all netizens began to frantically PS this picture-
Some of them buckled down the avatar of the original photo and replaced it with their own; Some put Ronald P, commander of the US aircraft carrier "Steanis", on the aircraft carrier behind; Some changed the Chinese ** people to the posture of pointing at the US aircraft carrier with submachine guns......
Some netizens opened their minds and photoshopped the pictures of their proposal to their girlfriends on the submarine, with the text "Our love is witnessed by Chinese and American soldiers"......
Inspired by this, some people P pictures of themselves walking their dogs to the submarine, with the caption "American GI, do you think my dog is good"......
Some people put a photo of themselves sleeping on a recliner on the submarine, with the caption "The U.S. military is so noisy, rabbit, did him"......
Some people put their graduation photos on the submarine with the text "We graduated, the US military, please bless us......
All of a sudden, netizens throughout China actively interacted and fell into this collective carnival. (To be continued.) )
