Chapter 10 The mountain rain is coming
"Since we have enough capabilities to detect it, it means that Chinese submarines do not pose a threat to us." Ms. Margaret, Assistant to the President for Security, expressed her opinion.
"No, ma'am, our anti-submarine plane then arrived there very quickly, but found nothing, it had disappeared without a trace. What does this mean? One possibility is that it exploits the seawater thermocline so that we have no way to detect it; Another possibility is that the Chinese have mastered very advanced submarine stealth capabilities, and before that, we knew nothing about them. Levi retorted, further explaining the seriousness of the matter.
"But how did we find it so easily?" Margaret asked rhetorically.
"Ma'am, you asked very well, it seems to me that this is completely deliberate by the Chinese to let us see it. The Chinese are demonstrating to us, which should be very closely related to the situation in Taiwan, where our three carrier battle groups are rushing, plus an aircraft carrier battle group in Yokosuka, Japan, and we have a total of four carrier battle groups in the East China Sea and the South China Sea to deter them. Therefore, the Chinese naturally will not give up, and they have come to our doorstep to tell us that they are capable of attacking the United States itself. "Secretary of Defense Cook naturally sees far.
"Mr. President, according to the photos taken by the Coast Guard reconnaissance aircraft and the intelligence analysis we have before, this is a 'Tang'-class nuclear submarine that the Chinese have equipped their navy for a short time, with a maximum displacement of 16,000 tons, a speed of 32 knots, and a depth of 600 meters. In addition to being equipped with torpedoes and anti-ship missiles, they are also equipped with their latest 24 Julang 3 interstate missiles, each of which can launch 3 to 5 thermonuclear warheads, which can completely cover the whole country. Ronald continued to report.
"Moreover, just a week ago, according to Canadian intelligence, they also found a submarine in Hudson Bay, and we compare and analyze it, it should also be a Chinese 'Tang' class nuclear submarine." Cook added.
"Is it the same ship?" Margaret asked.
"No, there should be two, one from below the Arctic Ocean; And this one is supposed to have entered the Atlantic Ocean through the Indian Ocean. Ronald explained.
"Gentlemen, I understand that the key issue now is the Taiwan issue, and the best way is to maintain the status quo, and I asked the State Department to tell them not to make any more independent trouble, which will not benefit them at all, and it is likely to provoke the Chinese, and if we use force, we will be in a very embarrassing position." The President of the United States, Mr. Clark, spoke.
"Mr. President, Taiwan is indispensable for us to check and balance Chinese and contain Chinese, and it is our bounden duty to defend Taiwan. If the Chinese dare to brazenly start a war, we must help defend Taiwan and not let Taiwan fall into the hands of Chinese mainland. Levi's, who has always been known for his toughness, emphasized.
"No, my general, we are defending the national interests of the United States, and when our national interests are damaged, we have to choose to give up Taiwan." Clark must consider America's best interests.
"In fact, Taiwan has an irreplaceable position in the first island chain where we blockade China, but over the years, China has already broken through the first island chain and has run to our doorstep, so Taiwan has lost its strategic position. However, Taiwan is still a trump card in our hands, and by holding it, we can firmly control China's access to the sea and seize the initiative. Cook analyzed.
"Mr. Cook is very right, we can't give up Taiwan easily, and while we maintain strategic deterrence, we can let the Japanese come forward, don't they have a territorial dispute with China? Then let's arm Japan and let them fight, and we'll clean up this mess. Clark concluded.
"Mr. President, the Taiwan side has asked us to sell them the F-35 as soon as possible. Cook asked.
"Yes, before this, we were worried that it would irritate the Chinese, but now we don't have to worry, they stimulated us first." President Clark nodded affirmatively.
"Mr. President, I have ordered the Navy to dispatch anti-submarine aircraft, anti-submarine ships and submarines to search the east coast and drive the Chinese out." Levi then reported.
"Okay, I agree, I hope you get rid of them as soon as possible, otherwise, let the media know, and the situation will be complicated." Clark nodded in agreement.
On the evening of the same day in Taipei, on the fourth floor of the official residence of Taiwan's "Presidential Palace," "President" Lin Yusheng and his colleagues were plotting.
"President, I don't think we can wait any longer, the people's demand for independence is very high, and we must follow the will of the people and start the referendum as soon as possible." Cai Yaoxian, the president's policy adviser, can't wait.
"Yes, President, you have seen that these days students from various universities have taken to the streets, asking us not to hesitate any longer, and since we have promised a referendum, then we should start the referendum process as soon as possible." Su Jinhao, president of the Legislative Yuan, also agreed. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are all members of the Democratic League, and our party's party program has clearly stated that **** is the goal of our party's struggle, and since we have achieved political power through arduous struggle, it must be something we have to do to obtain ****. But I have to remind you that the other side of the strait can look at us and do so? Lin Yusheng naturally has his own opinions.
"So what. It's a big deal, just a fight. Cai Yaoxian was very unconvinced.
"Hit? What do we fight with? After several decades of development, the mainland's military strength is no longer what it used to be, and if we really fight, how long can we hold on? Security consultant Lai Dechang retorted.
"Why do you grow other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige? If ** dares to attack, will the Americans sit idly by? Su Jinhao glared at Lai Dechang dissatisfied.
"Alright, alright. You know how to fight in the nest. On the one hand, I hope that they will amend the "Taiwan Relations Act" as soon as possible and make it clear that the United States will send troops to assist in the defense of Taiwan when the mainland attacks Taiwan by force. Lin Yusheng has long been tired of their internal quarrels.
"It is still the president's thoughtfulness, so that the mainland will have to weigh it." Cai Yao was busy patting the horse's ass first.
"But are the Americans willing?" Su Jinhao said worriedly.
"Mr. President, Director Lin Ruide of the Office of the American Taiwan Association asks for a meeting." Staff from the presidential palace came in and reported.
"Look, what are you talking about, say Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived." Lin Yusheng looked at Su Jinhao proudly.
Seeing this scene, everyone also left in amusement.
