China has actively responded to a series of actions taken by the United States with the threat of force, and has launched a series of sorties against US warships and planes that have come to provoke, with the result that the submarines and planes that the United States have come to provoke have been buried at the bottom of the sea under the heavy blows of the Chinese People's Navy, and there is no return, which has greatly shocked the US political axe and the US military.

Between the east of the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean and the west coast of the United States, less than 1,000 kilometers west of San Francisco, a seaport on the Pacific coast of California, a major industrial and commercial city in the United States, and an important gateway to the western United States, a nuclear submarine flying China's five-star red flag was spotted driving from south to north on the sea for nearly 30 minutes. The US Coast Guard was surrounded and intercepted by a large number of warships and anti-submarine planes, and very calmly disappeared into the deep waters of the vast western Pacific Ocean.

This is a rare phenomenon in more than 100 years that an external [***] ship has appeared in this sea area without the permission of the US political axe. Chinese nuclear submarines have openly appeared between the Hawaiian Islands and the West Coast of the United States, and their surnames are equivalent to the appearance of foreign submarines in China's Taiwan Strait.

The Hawaiian Islands and Midway Island are connected to the US mainland and US military bases in the western Pacific, and are the command center of the US military in the Pacific theater and the sea and air transport hub on the Pacific shipping routes. It is home to the U.S. Pacific Fleet Command and the largest U.S. forward base in the Pacific. At the same time, it is also the most densely deployed area of U.S. submarines in the Pacific region. The appearance of Chinese nuclear submarines between the east of the Hawaiian Islands and the west coast of the United States shows that China's nuclear submarines can easily break through the US anti-submarine network without revealing themselves. Feel free to come and go in the "hinterland" of the United States. And he didn't take the US Navy seriously at all, openly surfaced, and cruising in the swimming pool of the US Navy with all his might. In fact, the U.S. Navy has no effective way to deal with China's mysterious and silent nuclear submarine.

In the face of China's extraordinary move, the US National Security Council felt the seriousness of the matter, and the intensity of China's reaction greatly exceeded their prior assessment.

At the emergency meeting of the US National Security Council presided over by Kennedy, Vice President Johnson, a cowboy from the western part of Texas, once again raised the cry of war, waving his hands and shouting angrily: "This is the most blatant challenge that China has ever carried out to us in the United States, and it is a naked nuclear threat to the United States!" We, the United States, as the leaders of the Western world, absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of thing happening! What are the hundreds of thousands of troops in our United States doing? Are the nuclear weapons we have spent so much money building just vases? ”

Johnson swept Kennedy and the generals present with great dissatisfaction, and then said: "The only thing we have to do now is to bravely pick up the nuclear stick in our hands, to fight back against China's shameless provocations and threats, and to completely knock China back to the Stone Age!" ”

Johnson's arrogance, which only allows state officials to set fires and does not allow ordinary people to light lamps, has a certain representative surname in the United States, which is the consistent logic of the United States. It is the habitual thinking that the Western powers have cultivated over the centuries of rampant hegemony. However, China's strong counterattack has awakened some US policymakers to a certain extent, forcing them to look at the rising new China differently.

Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest administrative organ commanding the US [***] team, knows very well that China's nuclear submarine with nuclear warheads is now in the backyard of the United States, and can launch dozens of nuclear missiles within a few minutes, and these ballistic missiles will roar back into the atmosphere from space, and then fall to any place on US soil that Chinese consider valuable, turning these places into ashes. China carries out a unilateral nuclear attack on the United States, and the United States has no choice but to watch this happen, without any ability to carry out reciprocal nuclear retaliation, what a terrible thing it will be, it will not be China that will be sent back to the Stone Age, but the United States itself. At that time, not to mention that the United States will not be able to maintain its position as the leader of the Western world, I am afraid that it will not even be able to reach the third-rate countries.

With regard to Vice President Johnson's empty slogan-style irresponsible war clamour, Admiral Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a representative of the United States, said with disapproval: "The appearance of China's nuclear submarines in the traditional waters of the United States is a challenge and threat to the United States. But I personally think that a nuclear war with China is the only way for us in the United States to solve the problem at the moment is worth discussing. If the war breaks out, whether China will be driven back to the Stone Age, or whether we in the United States will be driven back to the Stone Age, it is difficult to say the result. As it stands, the latter is likely to have a large surname. Although it is said that the United States has the largest number of nuclear warheads in the world, it is unable to exert its due effectiveness due to the limitations of missile delivery technology and means of delivery, and judging from the facts that have occurred so far, the results in all the Sino-US conflicts that have occurred have been one-sided, which is enough to prove that we are completely incapable of carrying out a nuclear war with China. The advanced surname of China's weapons and equipment is something we can't imagine now. I have every reason to believe that China is ready for a full-scale nuclear war with us. They can drop hydrogen bombs wherever they want, whenever and wherever they want, and without any punishment. ”

"I agree with Admiral Taylor's assessment of the outcome of the U.S.-China nuclear war," said Bony Kennedy, assistant to the president for national security affairs, as if he "understood," "I think that the public appearance of China's nuclear submarine between the Hawaiian Islands and the west coast of the United States is a warning to us, and in this way China sends us a message that China does not care about a nuclear war with the United States, and is fully capable of defeating us in a nuclear war." The United States simply cannot stop China's strategic nuclear forces from going wherever they want. ”

Secretary of Defense McNamara seems to have forgotten that it was he who first proposed the deployment of land-based medium- and long-range strategic nuclear missiles in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. This crisis was triggered by an attack on a number of strategic Chinese ground targets under the conditions of nuclear war. When the real crisis came, his attitude changed sharply: "I also agree with Mr. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that we are completely incapable of conducting a nuclear war with China. Our "George. The USS Washington ballistic missile submarine was forced to sink in the East China Sea, and the collapse of our USS Evil Guy attack nuclear submarine in the western edge of the Pacific Ocean fully illustrates this point. So instead of making this pointless attempt at the cost of billions of dollars of expensive equipment and the lives of those young American citizens, we should use our sanity and the spirit of high responsibility to the American people to stop this game with China, which is said to be a serious and dangerous one. ”

Johnson thought about McNamara for a while, and he looked down on a person like McNamara in his heart, knowing that this was the case, why did he come up with the bad idea of deploying land-based medium- and long-range strategic nuclear missiles in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula in the first place.

"Indeed, it is time for us to stop this very dangerous temptation. Don't do anything that angers the Chinese. Lasker, the secretary of state who has long opposed the United States' risk of deploying nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula, spoke: "China's bottom line in the past was, don't touch my cheese, or I'll fight with you." But now look at more than that. The presence of China's nuclear submarines between the Hawaiian Islands and the West Coast of the United States also suggests that China is engaged in reciprocal 'diplomacy' with us. China's action seems to tell us why Chinese submarines can't go to the West Coast of the United States when U.S. submarines can go to the East China Sea."

Secretary of State Lasker carefully tucked the lock of long hair that slipped off his bald top, and continued: "All of their nuclear submarines are uncharacteristically openly flying the Chinese flag, lest we know about it will surface and swagger between the Hawaiian Islands and the West Coast of the United States." Otherwise, it will be impossible to explain the flamboyant behavior that is contrary to the traditional surname of the Chinese. ”

"Bullshit reciprocal 'diplomacy'!" The more Johnson listened, the more angry he became, he stood up and said angrily: "China has bullied our family, what kind of reciprocal diplomacy is there." Their nuclear submarines appeared between the Hawaiian Islands and the west coast of the United States, and we in the United States did not use force to sink them, but our submarines in the East China Sea and the western edge of the Pacific Ocean were indeed sunk by them. ”

Looking at this vulgar and ambitious Texas cowboy, President Kennedy frowned slightly and said: "Mr. Vice President, this is not unequal, China's nuclear submarines appeared between the Hawaiian Islands and the West Coast of the United States, and we did not sink them not because we did not want to sink them by force, but the Chinese nuclear submarines were under the surveillance of our reconnaissance plane, and after driving on the water for 28 minutes and 39 seconds, they dived into the water again, and we never found their whereabouts again. Even now, the US Coast Guard and Pacific Fleet have dispatched more than 100 surface ships, 2 aircraft carrier fleets and more than 20 submarines, as well as dozens of anti-submarine aircraft, and are still conducting large-scale searches. I have already given the order that, as soon as it is discovered, it is possible to attack by all means, including nuclear torpedoes. ”

This cannot but be said about the determination of President Kennedy, who looks handsome and dashing, to safeguard the national interests of the United States. What is missing now is the means. If your skills are not as good as others, there is no way to do it, and you can't fight if you want to. Everyone can understand Kennedy's predicament, and for the time being, we can only safeguard the security of the absolute core interests of the United States, which is "in front of the house and behind the house."

After being silent for a while, Kennedy said helplessly: "Can't be delayed, the current situation is very dangerous, Lasker, you and Bang, go to Yanjing immediately, and exchange views with the Chinese authorities on the current tension between the United States and China." ”

"Some plans are still immature, and there are still many issues that need to be discussed in Congress before they can be decided," US Secretary of State Lasker said with some embarrassment: "It is not appropriate to go to Yanjing now."

Johnson, vice president with no powers, was also quite dissatisfied with Kennedy's decision to allow two important members of the US political axe to visit China at this time. He forcibly suppressed the annoyance in his heart and said: "Mr. President, at this time, the United States will send two important officials of the political axe to visit Yenching, which will weaken our position in the negotiations, and it is difficult to achieve anything from this trip, and even if it can be achieved, it is very little

"Go! A must go! Don't wait, I'll say it again, Lasker, you and Bang, go to Yanjing right now, talk first, put the fire down first, our top priority at the moment is to immediately end this conflict involving the life and death of thousands of families in the United States, pregnant with the dangerous tragedy of a nuclear war between the United States and China, nothing else matters. As for some thorny specific issues, the two sides will talk about it first, and they will find an effective way to solve the possible future nuclear conflict between China and the United States. Kennedy waved his hand and said, "The path of trying to solve the nuclear security problems facing the American nation by means of force and the threat of force and China has proved to be unworkable, and it will discredit the United States in foreign policy and the United States in the world." With a superpower like China, all problems can only be solved by political means. The United States should no longer assume any responsibilities and obligations in Asia, and our first priority is the Americas and Europe. Let the Chinese take care of the affairs of Asia. ”

Kennedy really can't wait any longer, China is too ruthless now, who knows what China will do next. The relationship with China is so important that it not only has a decisive impact on US national security, but also plays a crucial role in whether it can be re-elected.

It was Kennedy's established policy not to go to war with China in Asia, and this test of China's bottom line proves that China is not at all afraid of the United States or a nuclear war, but really wants to fight with the United States. In the final analysis, the relationship between countries is determined by the political wisdom and national strength of a country's leading group. It is impossible to make a little extra advantage in China. We can no longer hold on to the old ideas about China. The whole world is going to be reshuffled. The spheres of influence of China and the United States need to be redivided according to the respective strengths of each side. Can China give the United States some face as a great power? In the U.S. domestic election, can China cooperate diplomatically to help itself be re-elected? All of this required Kennedy to communicate with Yanjing immediately.

At the urging of President Kennedy, U.S. Secretary of State Lasker and Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Bun Bush Bush Brown Kennedy had an immature rapprochement plan with China. The secret came to Yanjing.
