Chapter 1793: The New "Transport Captain" (Second Shift, First Shift)
"Sir, this is a real-time image from the satellite, 'Peregrine Falcon 01' was shot down by the Chinese."
When the HQ-9 hit the tail of the "Goddess of Dawn" and the tail of the "Goddess of Dawn," which was flying at high speed, suddenly exploded, the Pentagon suddenly fell silent.
US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who had just received the news and rushed to the command center, trembled his lips twice, gritted his teeth vigorously before asking, "What about the pilot?" Did you escape safely? ”
"The pilot managed to escape after being hit," the operator reversed the recorded satellite image a little, and it can be clearly seen from the video data that at the moment when the HQ-9 hit the "Goddess of Dawn", an object in the head of the "Goddess of Dawn" was ejected.
"It's good that the pilot doesn't have anything to do." Rumsfeld breathed a sigh of relief: Although the "Goddess of Dawn" is important, the pilot and crew members who can fly the "Goddess of Dawn" are even less angry, and the difficulty in selecting the crew members of the "Goddess of Dawn" is not much less difficult than the difficulty in selecting astronauts.
"Immediately contact the President and ask him to send a note to the Chinese side; Immediately activate the emergency plan, go all out to rescue our pilots, and immediately ......" As secretary of defense, a series of orders were issued from Rumsfeld's mouth.
"Your Excellency, there is a new situation!" Field Commander Ulysses suddenly exclaimed.
"What's the situation?" Rumsfeld's face changed, and he hurriedly turned around and threw himself on the huge wall screen.
"Chinese sent two planes to follow our escape pods......" Ulysses' teeth chattered: Is there going to be four American pilots going to fall into the hands of Chinese? God, this is simply terrible, even more terrible than the "Goddess of Dawn" falling into the hands of the Chinese.
Under the real-time tracking of ultra-high-magnification optical reconnaissance satellites, it can be clearly seen on the large screen of the Pentagon's underground command center that two high-altitude high-speed interceptors marked J-8D are flying together on both sides of the escape capsule, and the flight speed is not even slower than the speed of the escape capsule.
"Damn it!" Rumsfeld's face turned pale. A heavy punch slammed into the table.
The United States has always been a "weapon-only" country, they believe in one force to ten meetings, believing that no matter how hard the template, as long as they smash down with a hammer, there will always be a time to smash the nail into the plank, as long as their hammer is hard enough, so when the Chinese still retain the J-8, a typical second-generation high-altitude high-speed interceptor, and even continue to improve this "old-fashioned" aircraft, the Americans have not less ridiculed the Chinese: What time is it now, Who still plays with you at high speeds above 20,000 meters? Let's play maneuvering and missiles in the airspace of 5,000 meters to 15,000 meters!
The Americans have always been proud of the strategic development of their air force, and even led the development of military equipment in the world for several decades by relying on this line of thinking. But at this time, the Americans suddenly sadly discovered that the "old-fashioned" aircraft like the J-8D can also play a big role...... The F-15 or F-16 simply can't fly at this speed, but for the J-8D. This speed is simply easy and pleasant.
Those four U.S. pilots are in danger! Rumsfeld has no doubt about this, and nine times out of ten they will definitely fall into the hands of the Chinese.

No one knew what the Tao was about, and the atmosphere between China and the United States suddenly became tense. Both China and the United States are keeping their mouths shut. But the tense atmosphere between the two countries made the entire world tremble.
The United States is the well-deserved boss of the world, and it is typical to fight whoever it wants, and the Republic, a country that has just become the third largest economy in the world, is not easy to mess with, and if China continues to follow the current development momentum, it seems that it is not impossible to surpass the United States to become the world's largest economic power by 2050.
But now, without warning, how can two countries suddenly come into conflict? Could it be that the pressure cooker of George W. Bush's house was stolen?
What makes countries even more curious. Where did the Chinese get their confidence this time, didn't they shout "Taoguang nurtures obscurity and rises peacefully"? Why do you suddenly dare to stare at the Americans?
It is the largest economic power in the world, the largest and fastest developing country in the world, and also has the largest population and the largest potential market in the world. One represents the present of the world's economy, and the other represents the future of the world's economy, and there was an inexplicable unpleasantness between these two countries, and everyone's eyes widened to understand what was going on...... The big hooligans are fighting, and our little minions can't stand it.
Only Americans can't say what they are suffering.
Bush Jr. or the Pentagon can't say that one of their hypersonic strategic reconnaissance planes was shot down by Chinese missiles, right? The status of the "Goddess of Dawn" in the US arsenal is comparable to that of nuclear submarines, and it is regarded by the Americans as a strategic force that is absolutely impossible to shoot down, but now, this cowhide has been pierced by the Chinese, and even the pilot and cockpit have been completely captured by the Chinese.
It is said that it is absolutely impossible to say, and that the Chinese can be forced to hand over the pilot, the cockpit and the wreckage of the plane by force? After seeing the weird PL-12 and HQ-9, the Americans themselves were furious.
The Pentagon experts were going all out to analyze what their computers would show that the two PL-12 and HQ-9 missiles that would never have been killed would be PL-12 and HQ-9, and the results of the analysis were soon placed on Rumsfeld's desk.
Looking at the above analysis report, Rumsfeld's eyes were about to pop out, and he patted the report in front of him, eager to slam the report on the face of Ulysses, who came to report to him in person, "What did you say?" The Chinese have mastered the technique of using the pulse detonation engine ?! This is a skill that even the United States has not mastered, are you kidding me? ”
"It's true," Ulysses knew very well why Rumsfeld was so excited, wasn't he so excited when he first saw this report, and it took a lot of effort to digest the news. He took the tablet he was carrying with him and showed the relevant information to Rumsfeld, "Your Excellency Minister, look here, this is a screenshot of the wake trail of the 'PL-12' and 'HQ-9' missiles that attacked us in the Chinese that we analyzed, judging from this screenshot, the wake of these two missiles has obvious 'knotted' characteristics, which is a typical feature of pulse detonation engines and high ramjet ratio engines, but ramjet engines can't fly so fast, so ......"
Ulysses stopped talking, and Rumsfeld stopped talking, only the ramjet engine and the impulse detonation engine have such obvious characteristics, and the ramjet engine can't fly so fast, so isn't it self-evident what the engines used on these two "PL-12" and "HQ-9" missiles are?
"Combined with the analysis of the situation before and after we got the information, we can also conclude that the Chinese pulse detonation engine technology has just taken shape, and it can only be applied to weapons with low thrust and extremely short service time such as sub-missiles, and cannot be applied to combat platforms such as fighters......"
Rumsfeld waved his hand with a heavy face, "Ulysses, you are wrong, just because the Chinese have mastered the pulse detonation engine technology that can be applied to missiles, it is a huge threat to the United States." Obviously, the news we got this time was that they deliberately leaked it to us, so that we could cooperate with them in a combat exercise, because no country in the world could fly so fast except us, but we ......were fooled."
Ulysses pursed his lips and didn't speak, how could he not have thought of this? But what can I do if I think of it, is it possible that the Americans will yell at China, "Hey!" Chinese, you listen to me, you are not allowed to develop pulse detonation engine technology, do you hear? Otherwise, Lao Tzu will spank you! ", the Chinese will obediently obey?
If the Chinese are obedient, then they are really a ghost.
After so many years of confrontation with the Chinese, Ulysses thinks he sees the Chinese very clearly: this is a group of greedy and evil dragons disguised as cute white rabbits.
"Then we ......" Ulysses hesitated, but asked Rumsfeld anyway.
"Ulysses, you have to remember that we are soldiers," Rumsfeld turned his head and looked at Ulysses seriously, "the next thing has nothing to do with us soldiers, the next thing is the business of those politicians in the White House." ”
Ulysses was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"Good things, good things...... Looking at the pair of babies in front of him, Lin Hongfei drooled, "The American people are good people, they supported the principal to be the captain of the transportation brigade back then, but the principal quit, and now he is the captain of the transportation brigade himself." ”
Although it fell from a height of more than 30,000 meters, this "Goddess of Dawn" has been smashed and dilapidated, and when it fell to the ground, all kinds of parts and random splashes were everywhere, and even now it has not been finished, but even so, this thing is a treasure that cannot be exchanged for the republic, and this pile of "scrap iron" will inevitably become a force multiplier for the future development of military equipment and military science and technology in the republic.
It's a pity that no one responded to Lin Hongfei's words, and the experts who came with Lin Hongfei looked at them with enthusiasm or tenderness, looking at the pile of "scrap iron" in front of them as if they were looking at their first love, who still remembers who Lin Hongfei is at this time?
