Admiral Taylor, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, pointed to the Tsushima Strait on a globe at the White House meeting of the US National Security Council to discuss the crisis in the Tsushima Strait, and briefed the US decision-makers attending the meeting: "The second detachment of the Red Navy of the Far East Fleet of the Chinese Navy stationed in Vladivostok consists of four missile destroyers converted from destroyers of the former Soviet Pacific Fleet, four Chinese-made "Dreadnought" class missile frigates, and six submarines, including three "dolphins" called "dolphins" called black holes under the sea The Tsushima Strait Patrol Fleet, composed of conventional submarines, blocked the northern tip of the Tsushima Strait and carried out patrol missions in the Tsushima Strait, which is 67 kilometers wide, and it was their patrol fleet that sank three destroyers of the 12th Destroyer Squadron of our 7th Fleet and seized our supply ship "Claris" carrying two www.xstxt.org-75 Thor ballistic missile launch systems.

In addition, the Chinese Navy's North Sea Fleet has two "Great Wall"-class guided missile destroyers, two "Dreadnought"-class missile frigates, and two minelayers entering the Tsushima Strait from the southern tip of the Tsushima Strait in the Yellow Sea. Just before I came to this meeting, I received another piece of bad news: one of our cruisers tried to break out of the port of Busan, and was seriously injured by a mine 5,000 meters outside the port, and now we are negotiating with the Chinese side to allow the cruiser to be towed back to the port of Busan for repairs.

Admiral Taylor, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, then gave an explanation of his knowledge of the Chinese Navy's defense in the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the South China Sea, as well as the deployment and naval blockade of China's Indian Ocean Fleet from the North Atlantic and the Indian Ocean.

"China is ready to compete with the United States this time." CIA Director Mike made some additional explanations to Admiral Taylor's briefing, especially reminding: "It is worth noting that almost all of China's submarines have disappeared in their home ports, and the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "MZD" and the newly formed aircraft carrier fleet that have just been launched are also undergoing adaptation training in the Taiwan Strait day and night. All of the aviation divisions of the Chinese Navy have entered a state of first-class combat readiness. ”

"What kind of measures did the military take in response to this Chinese operation?" Vice President Johnson asked.

After that, General Taylor, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave a general explanation and deduction of some emergency arrangements made by the US Army, Navy, and Air Force at the US Joint Chiefs of Staff and possible conflicts. The results of the deduction are not optimistic.

President Kennedy's eyebrows wrinkled into a very irregular "Chuan" character, which made his originally handsome face distort a little, and his head was constantly running at high speed. What should the United States do next, and what is the most appropriate response?

China's current action organically combines politics, diplomacy and a series of military means, and does it in a beneficial, reasonable, and restrained manner.

It is advantageous because the setting of the battlefield is completely within Asia's own sphere of influence, and the scope of military strikes against the United States is also within its absolute geographical superiority, and the navy and air force have formed a very perfect offensive and defensive system. In international relations, China also digested some of the shadows left by the Sino-Soviet war, and established a huge buffer zone between China and the Soviet Union, the Western Siberian Special Zone, so that China could have enough energy to deal with the United States.

It stands to reason that this conflict was triggered entirely by the fact that the United States has planted mines under China's feet and provoked right and wrong. For this kind of sneaky behavior, it is anyone who will raise their legs and kick it. Legally speaking, China's foot has been fully recognized and supported by the international community. It was "kicked" under the mandate of the international community. On the contrary, what the United States has done this time has been very passive, which has aroused widespread dissatisfaction and accusations from the international community, and even some countries in NATO have said at the UN General Assembly that this practice of the United States is very inappropriate and inauthentic, and that it should not take the initiative to challenge China's core interests and cause new tensions in the world.

So far, China has not gone too far, and it has made representations with the US political axe through formal diplomatic channels in advance, explaining that the nuclear missile launch facilities deployed by the United States in south Korea have constituted a serious threat to China's security and are a serious provocation to China's core interests. The United States is required to withdraw its nuclear missiles deployed in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. At the same time, he also solemnly stated to the US political axe that if the US political axe does not immediately dismantle these nuclear facilities that affect China's security and the situation develops further, China may take drastic measures in the next step. It's just that he underestimated the severity of such measures of China's political axe at that time. If this kind of thing were to be done to the United States, it would naturally be the same reaction of the United States. Who of a superpower can allow a gunman in his backyard to hide a gun that is always aimed at his head?

But if you understand China in this way, will American voters understand you? How should you react? In order to receive the best results at home and abroad?

Putting on the appearance of a nuclear war with China and engaging in a nuclear confrontation with China, and then forcing China's political axe to yield, is of course the best way. But will China be able to give in? The Secretary of State is right, China's good fortune is struck! They are not afraid of war, which is the catalyst for China's rise. China rose out of war. Forcing the current Chinese political axe to succumb is just a wishful dream of oneself, and it is absolutely impossible.

Does the United States have the capability to engage in a nuclear confrontation with China? Yes, but now this ability is definitely insufficient. And China has an absolute advantage. Kennedy vaguely felt that this advantage was not a quantitative advantage, but a qualitative difference. This advantage of China is based on the gap between the establishment of the second revolution in electric power technology and the new industrial and technological revolution with the widespread application of atomic energy, semiconductors, electronic computers, and space technology as the main symbols, and everything seems to be asymmetrical between China and the United States, and the information is unilaterally transparent. There is also asymmetry in weaponry, and even in terms of tactical thinking, the tactical arrangements and some fighting methods against China were simply unthinkable in advance, otherwise the Soviet Union, which was similar to the United States, would not be so vulnerable.

China is now well aware of the situation of US strategic nuclear missile bases and nuclear missiles, and the "Julang" ballistic missiles carried by China's "Qianlong class" strategic ballistic missile nuclear submarines are fully capable of destroying these US missile bases and knocking out US nuclear teeth. It would be even more unreliable to deliver a nuclear strike on China with aircraft from aircraft carriers or by throwing strategic bombers. Before the US aircraft carriers approached the mainland, I am afraid that these US aircraft carriers would have been blown up and sunk long ago, and Kennedy had no doubt that China absolutely had this ability, and the mysterious Chinese force during the Korean War had done this, let alone now.

It is also not possible to use strategic bombers, the aircraft simply cannot enter Chinese mainland, which has been tried many times over the years. Ten ** were either beaten down, or they did not even touch the edge of Chinese mainland, and were "coaxed" away by Chinese fighters in a distance. Therefore, the US strategic bombers pose no threat to China at all.

The only thing that can confront China is the US strategic nuclear submarines, but the range is only more than 2,000 kilometers. In order to pose a real threat to China, it is necessary to break through China's first island chain and enter the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea or the South China Sea, as well as the Sea itself

Kennedy suddenly thought, could this be a conspiracy of China's one? Perhaps now China is looking forward to making its own decision to go to nuclear war, so as to completely destroy the US nuclear weapons system. If that's the case, don't fall for China's trap. Before the United States is absolutely sure of victory, it absolutely cannot take the risk of a nuclear war with China and play roulette with China on the fate of the United States. It's too much of a responsibility to afford. It's better to dismiss the idea of a nuclear war with China, and it's better not to even think about it.

So taking a step back, in order to save this face, is it impossible to fight a conventional war with China? If we want to go to war with China, we must be prepared for nuclear war. What if China uses this as an excuse to escalate the war into a nuclear war? Is it that if China does not escalate the war to a nuclear war with the United States, or a conventional war with the United States, will the United States be sure of victory?

Secretary of State Lasker's question is also very real, where to fight a local conventional war with China? It is certainly not possible to fight on the Korean Peninsula, which is closely connected to Chinese mainland, equivalent to a province of China, where only the share of beatings is achieved. This was proven more than 10 years ago, what about the Korean Peninsula? If you really fight, you have to give up, otherwise this time the prisoners of war will probably not be able to exchange them for a few excavators and bulldozers.

In the name of Ben Hit? The U.S. military stayed in Yueben and now has no legal legal surname, can Yueben itself agree to the U.S. military to enter Yueben again? That's impossible. Even if this is agreed, can China agree? If you don't agree, just fight, it's a good excuse to start a war. However, it is said that the United States is too close to China, and the United States does not have any advantages in terms of geography. Now it is said that it is surrounded by China, and it is separated from the United States only by the east, thousands of miles away, across the sea. It is said that Ben is an island country that has no strategic depth and strategic resources at all, and its industrial base has long been demolished by China, and those skilled engineers and technicians have also been poached by China. If China sends a few submarines in the North Pacific to blockade the eastern side of China, what will the United States rely on to fight China? Even if China drags on for two years, it will have to drag the United States down.

In Vietnam? Now that the South China Sea has been firmly controlled by China, it has almost become China's inland sea, and those small Southeast Asian countries are surrounded by China, which country dares to offend China, wear the same pants with the United States, and provide a base for the United States? Doesn't the "Shannan Agreement of the Foreign Ministers' Meeting of South and Southeast Asian Countries on Stopping the Entry of Nuclear Weapons into the Asian Region" prove that these small countries are not on China's side?

In the Middle East, China now legally occupies Kuwait and the Chinese Shannan-United Arab Emirates. The only place where the United States can settle down in the Middle East is Israel, which is regarded as an enemy by the entire Arab world, and its little brother who is raised by itself, if China is provoked, I am afraid that these Jews will have to be completely homeless, and then the United States will not even have a place to stay in the Middle East

In the end, the war is fought by the strength of a country. This strength is not only material, but also the overall strength of a country. It is embodied in a country's overall strategic thinking, the determination and will of its leaders, as well as a correct policy and strategy, preparations for war, the potential for war, and many other factors, such as the level of the country's productive forces, the country's financial situation, diplomatic relations, and the geopolitical environment. Not to mention anything else, in terms of diplomacy, the United States does not have an international environment for a war with China, and now there is no country that can jointly wage war with China with itself, and now I am afraid that there is not a single one, let alone a war against China, it is probably difficult to even say a "fair word".

and the Soviet Union, the injured polar bear, after being beaten by China, got closer to China, and China and the Soviet Union entered the honeymoon period. and China and the Soviet Union established a "special zone" in the vast western Siberian region. This greatly strengthened China's strength and improved the living standards of the Soviet people to varying degrees. China helped the Soviet Union transform its weapons systems and provided the Soviet Union with NATO military intelligence. The cooperation between the two countries is now broader and deeper than before. Will the Warsaw organization of the Soviet Union and those socialist countries of Eastern Europe, with the support of China, launch an offensive in Europe and advance westward? These are all factors that are difficult to determine.

After all, Europe is a close neighbor of the United States, and the United States is inextricably linked in political, economic, military, cultural and other aspects. Although China is now the most important adversary and the most dangerous enemy of the United States. However, Asia is far away from the United States, and so far it has not been clear that China has the strategic intention to intervene in the Americas and Europe, or that it does not have the ability to do so, so Europe is still the number one strategic priority of the United States. Stabilizing Europe is still the first priority. If the United States mobilizes all its forces to wage a large-scale war with China, no matter what the outcome of the war is, whether it loses or wins, the United States will be completely abolished and reduced to a second- or third-rate country, perhaps even worse

Kennedys thought about it, but couldn't come up with a decent idea.
