Chapter 161: Tang Mei Fights
The Tang Empire suddenly attacked, and the Atlantic Fleet of the Navy completely annihilated the main force of the British Royal Navy, causing the British Navy to lose more than 70 warships and more than 30,000 people to be killed, which immediately caused a sensation all over the world.
Large-scale anti-Tang demonstrations and protest marches broke out in Britain, calling on the British government to go to war against Tang.
In response to this incident, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Empire resolutely insisted that it was a mistake, and accused the British Royal Navy of choosing the timing and location of the exercise improperly, causing the officers and men of the Tang Empire Navy to mistakenly think that it was an enemy fleet during the live-fire exercise, resulting in accidental injuries, and the Tang Empire regretted the casualties of the British Navy.
Although the Tang Empire's reply to this matter is very far-fetched, it makes sense, and various ** experts have spoken out, saying that the British Navy will inevitably suffer this fate if it chooses to conduct exercises in the waters around the Tang Army.
The British government is naturally not convinced, and decades ago, Britain will inevitably declare war immediately, but now the British are clearly aware that they are facing the world's superpowers, both military strength and economic strength are far from being able to compete with the United Kingdom, and the most important thing is that the Tang Empire deploys tactical nuclear weapons on the island of Ireland, and once a rash declaration of war, the Tang Army's nuclear cruise missiles can bomb the entire United Kingdom within 30 seconds.
This threat far exceeded the German threat to Britain in World War II, so the British government could not have declared war as directly as it had done with Germany, and needed to seek help from within the framework of the United States and NATO.
The Nisonke government was very troubled, and the British allies were beaten, and they should have stepped forward to help, but that meant a direct break with the Tang Empire, and even a military conflict between Tang and the United States, and even a nuclear war, with unimaginable consequences.
The most terrifying thing for the US military was that the main fleet of the British Royal Navy was completely wiped out in just a few minutes, but it did not suffer a single casualty or any losses, which was shocking. Although the relevant investigation is still ongoing, and the truth is unknown, the military strength of the Tang Army is undoubtedly very strong, if it were the US military. Absolutely not.
This kind of military disparity makes the United States dare not act rashly, but if it does not come forward, then Britain will be chilled and the NATO military alliance will surely collapse.
In the end, the Nisonke government had no choice but to strongly criticize the Tang Empire, saying that the United States and NATO would completely side with Britain, and Tang-US relations would move towards all-out confrontation.
Nissonke even personally called Zhang Meng's hotline in protest. But Zhang Meng was fearless and fought with reason. It shows the tough position of the Tang Empire. No flinching.
A diplomatic war between the United States and the United States broke out immediately. Both sides have made clear to the world their hardline stance, and neither side wants to lose face, and deliberately uses the media to let off steam, indicating that Tang and the United States will engage in a nuclear war that will destroy the world. However, both governments have made it clear that they will not use nuclear weapons unless absolutely necessary.
For the United States, these media releases are aimed at reassuring Britain and NATO allies, showing that the United States is helping them, and to put it bluntly, it is fooling the common people.
For the Tang Empire, this incident was planned by the Tang Army from the very beginning, and it was an adventurous military operation to test the reaction of the United States, with the purpose of finding out the strength of the British army, exploring the bottom line of the United States, and testing how the United States military would react.
Give it a try. The fact that the Tang Army was overjoyed and that the British Navy was vulnerable showed that the US Army would not be much stronger in conventional warfare and was not an opponent of the Tang Army at all.
However, the Tang Empire also did not dare to be careless. All conventional ballistic missiles and nuclear ballistic missiles in silos are refueled and launched at any time. All the mobile missile units on the road and rail left their bases and patrolled the country 24 hours a day to prevent them from being locked by U.S. missiles.
All strategic nuclear submarines have left Hong Kong, dived into the deep sea areas around the world, cut off active external contact, and will passively receive orders from the Supreme Command of the Tang Empire to prepare for nuclear strikes.
At this time, the national defense network plan of the Tang Empire was almost completed, and the original national missile defense system was already very powerful, which could intercept most of the slower aircraft and missile targets. With the large-scale application of electromagnetic cannon weapon systems by the Tang Army, land-based electromagnetic railguns have assumed the task of air defense, and with the help of satellites and radar systems, once a target is discovered, the interception success rate is almost 100 percent.
At the same time, the absolute defense circle of the Tang Empire is on the ocean, and with the help of military bases and naval forces around the world, it can also intercept enemy aircraft, missiles and other air targets on the sea surface.
The only thing that worries the Tang Empire is the nuclear submarine under the sea, the vast sea, the US nuclear submarine is a hundred times better than the British nuclear submarine, the mute effect is no longer so easy to find, and the Datang Navy has to keep an eye on the movements of the US nuclear submarine at all times.
All this time, the Don Army has been closely monitoring the US nuclear submarines. At this time, the US Navy had a total of 33 nuclear submarines, of which 12 were strategic nuclear submarines, one-third of which were in port in peacetime, one-third were combat-ready for cruise, and one-third were maintained.
Any US nuclear submarine is under the comprehensive monitoring of the Tang Army's land, sea, air and space, and as long as the US nuclear submarine goes to sea, it will inevitably be followed by the Tang Army's nuclear submarines, and the Tang Army can effectively track them by using hundreds of military bases around the world.
In the depths of the ocean, nuclear submarines often collide with each other and even attack, and it is not only the nuclear submarines between Tang and the United States that often lock on to each other, provoke each other, or even directly collide with each other. This is true between the nuclear submarines of the Tang and the Soviet Union, as well as between the nuclear submarines of the United States and the Soviet Union, both sides are closely watching each other's underwater nuclear forces, and once they lose each other's targets, they will be greatly nervous, believing that a nuclear war is about to break out.
Because of this, other countries in the world, such as Britain and France, which have nuclear submarines, since they built nuclear submarines, nuclear submarines only dare to operate along the coast, and do not dare to enter the deep sea easily, for fear of being secretly killed by the Tang-Su nuclear submarine. Even in the shallow sea, they did not dare to move around casually, and they stayed in the harbor for most of the year and did not dare to go out.
For decades, the three parties have often exposed nuclear submarine crashes, 99% of which are caused by accidents that occurred after encountering nuclear submarines from the other two sides, but all countries strictly abide by military secrets, which is an unspoken rule and a tacit way of secret warfare between Tang, the United States and the Soviet Union, so the outside world does not know the truth and only thinks that it is caused by accidents.
At this time, the US military had already ordered all nuclear submarines to leave the port, and the Tang Army's nuclear submarines carried out comprehensive tailgating, tracking and surveillance, and sent surface ships to support them anytime and anywhere.
Both the Tang and the United States have brought their nuclear forces into a state of first-class combat readiness and a state of confrontation in an all-round way, and war is on the verge of breaking out.
For the Soviet Union, they are also quite nervous, no matter how the confrontation between the United States and the United States, some of their nuclear weapons must be aimed at the Soviet Union, and similarly, the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons are also directly aimed at the United States and the Tang Empire, because I don't know which of the nuclear weapons of the United States and Tang are aimed at the Soviet Union, so the Soviet Union has also entered the first level of nuclear weapons combat readiness, once it detects that the United States and the United States have launched nuclear missiles, then the Soviet Union will also launch nuclear missiles as soon as possible.
Therefore, once the United States escalates to the stage of nuclear war, the Soviet Union will inevitably be involved, which will mean the destruction of the whole world.
Faced with this situation, the whole world immediately fell into panic and called on Tang and the United States to sit down and negotiate well and strive for a peaceful settlement of the matter.
