Chapter 447: The Missile Crisis
Just when Eisenhower was gritting his teeth in anger by Yang Feng, on the sea ten kilometers east of St. Martin, a Ming soldier was standing on an air-cushion landing craft, just like a sheng soldier in Afghanistan, carrying a portable missile on his shoulder, staring ahead through an infrared sight, and in the sky in front of him, an RF100 reconnaissance plane of the US military was descending in altitude.
The reconnaissance plane took off from Puerto Rico.
The soldier looked at the officer beside him, who was listening to the radio receiver.
"Knock it down!"
Then the officer put down the receiver and said.
The soldier immediately pulled the trigger, and the front end of the portable missile launcher, which was actually a Stinger, flew out in an instant, and the main engine started on the sea far from the shooter, and slammed into the target at more than twice the speed of sound.
At this time, the RF100 was defenseless, because it required the clearest photos, and the reconnaissance plane was ready to fly directly over St. Maarten Island at an altitude of one thousand meters to take pictures, but at this time it had dropped to less than three thousand meters, and when the missile was launched, it even swept over the air-cushion landing craft, and the high-temperature nozzle in the tail was as eye-catching as the lights of the night in front of the missile's seeker.
The latter drew an elegant arc in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it hit the abdomen of the RF100, and with an explosion that resounded through the sea, the reconnaissance plane instantly dragged out billowing smoke, like a falling cannonball, and crashed straight into the sea, almost at the same time the pilot bounced out of the cockpit.
Inside the Pentagon in Washington, Michael Roy looked at Eisenhower with an inquiring gaze.
"Continue to send reconnaissance planes."
Eisenhower said through gritted teeth.
Soon a second RF100 appeared in the sky west of St. Maarten, and after knowing that the Ming army had portable anti-aircraft missiles, the reconnaissance plane did not dare to fly too low. Instead, it maintains an altitude of five thousand meters. Although this is not enough, the clarity of the photo is not enough. But basically it can make do, how big the Yi missile is, not to mention that there are so many supporting vehicles, you can see it clearly in the sky.
However, just after the reconnaissance plane entered the 10-kilometer range of Sint Maarten, two Cobra helicopters appeared.
"Shoot down if you dare to fire!"
In the Pentagon, Eisenhower said viciously that he now wants to let Yang Feng know that he is not easy to bully, and he will dare to play hard if he provokes himself.
However, they just opened fire, but it was a US reconnaissance plane that was shot down.
"Damn it. It's a Thunderbolt missile! ”
The U.S. pilot on the hapless RF100 screamed in horror, and two kilometers below him, a Thunderbolt air-to-air missile was dragging a white trail, flying out from under the short wings of the Cobra helicopter, and then reaching him at breakneck speed. The U.S. pilot managed his plane desperately and made a tumbling motion to avoid the Thunderbolt missile, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the latter turned a corner in the distance and crashed into it again.
This time he didn't dodge.
The Thunderbolt missile hit the right wing of the reconnaissance plane directly, with the fire of the explosion. The half-wing was separated from the aircraft by numerous debris, and by this time the altitude had dropped to less than three thousand meters of RF100. It fell like a heavy stone, and because of the angle, the pilot crashed into the sea with the plane before he even had time to parachute.
"Send again, send high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, send RB57, send U2."
Eisenhower said with a hideous face in the Pentagon.
"The President, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports that Ambassador Ming is protesting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs against the intrusion of our fighter jets into their airspace."
At this time, the assistant to the president said.
"Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reply, they have not yet grasped this situation, and they need to investigate and verify before replying."
Eisenhower said without hesitation.
Well, this is how the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United States replied, although at this time the news of the downing of the US military reconnaissance plane near St. Maarten Island has already been sent to the editors-in-chief of the world's major media through those reporters who are waiting for big news, and even some fast-moving radio stations have begun to urgently insert this news that shocked the world, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United States just did not grasp the relevant situation.
Of course, as for the twenty Yi missiles that grew overnight on St. Martin Island, the answer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Empire was that they had not yet grasped the relevant information.
But this did not prevent the news from spreading in the world at a speed like a shock wave of a nuclear explosion, and everyone was stunned by the thunderous and lightning means of Yang Yuan, how did he transport the entire twenty Yi missiles over? How did he get ashore overnight and complete the deployment, and how did he deceive the CIA across the sea, this is too unbelievable, right? It all has the feeling of a bad Hollywood blockbuster.
This thing is not blowing up balloons, it is hundreds of various vehicles, thousands of soldiers, just 20 missiles weigh hundreds of tons, there is no port where large cargo ships can dock, and these things are not something that Hercules transport planes can transport, even if he has an air-cushion landing craft, it can transport 20 Yi missiles and supporting launch systems ashore overnight to complete the deployment, it can be completely described as incredible.
Of course, the main thing is that I was stunned by his audacity.
What is this for?
This is the red luoluo ground stabbing rice people juhua ah.
Is it possible to deploy nuclear missiles in that place? Although he bought that place to block the country, this kind of thing is usually okay to talk about, and it's okay to pretend to deploy there, and if he really does it, he will force the country to a dead end! It can even be said to be an unofficial declaration of war.
Do you know how you can make your family?
Especially in Western European countries, there is a feeling of collapse at this time, although the relationship with Mi is becoming more and more estranged and Yang Feng is getting closer and closer, but his European friends still feel that this guy has gone too far this time, anyway, we are all part of the free world, although it is inevitable that everyone will intrigue and stab each other, but it is very undesirable to do so.
However, including Britain, Gaul and other countries, all forces did not immediately react to this, because first of all, they had to confirm the truth of the news, after all, the Ming did not admit that they deployed missiles, but at this time it was difficult for those spies to reconnoiter in the military restricted area, after shooting down the US reconnaissance plane, the Ming army expanded the sea blockade range to ten kilometers, and then wanted to see what was there from the sky.
Of course, Eisenhower did the job.
Two hours after the second RF100 was shot down, a slender black reconnaissance plane flew over Sint Maarten like a ghost, and this time it was not attacked at an altitude of 24,000 kilometers that all fighters currently feared. Such a flight altitude, not to mention the Cobra helicopter, even the latest Ghost heavy fighter of the Ming Army can only look up, and even the best Javelin surface-to-air missiles at this time cannot be reached.
This is the latest high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of the US military, the famous U2.
It soon sent the high-altitude photos of St. Martin to Eisenhower's hands, and on the screen where the slides were played, the missile positions of the Ming army suddenly appeared, the real missile positions, 20 launch vehicles and 20 erected Yi missiles were clearly visible, all kinds of supporting vehicles were crowded with the launch site that was not too big, and there were even Hawk mobile anti-aircraft missile positions of the Ming army around them, and if you looked closely, you could vaguely see the soldiers who were busy.
"What the hell is this bastard trying to do?"
Eisenhower looked at the aerial photos playing in front of him, and his lips trembled.
Now there is nothing to doubt, Yang Feng, this bastard, this villain, just used his combination of hovercraft and semi-submersible ship to deceive the CIA, he first loaded the Marine Corps in Dubai, and then used the hovercraft to replace the missiles that had been prepared long ago from the dock landing ship on the way, and then sailed to St. Maarten Island in a grand manner, and then took advantage of the fact that the hovercraft did not need a dock to transport it directly to the shore and complete the combat deployment overnight.
However, this trick stopped him.
Because now the trump card is in the hands of Yang Feng, he has all the initiative, the Mi government is completely passive, if these missiles are not deployed, but in the state of transportation, then the Mi Navy must be intercepted even if it fights a naval battle, even if it loses a few aircraft carriers, but now that it is deployed, it is too late to do anything.
He could no longer send bombers to drop bombs or fire a Jupiter missile to destroy the position.
Because once it is destroyed, even if only one missile is launched, the casualties caused to the United States will be millions, and it is necessary to risk Yang Feng's nuclear retaliation, after all, the Xia-class submarine and the Julang missile are not easy to provoke, especially when the United States is still unable to form an effective nuclear deterrent to the Ming Dynasty.
Their Jupiter missiles have just completed their final tests, and the first missiles are still being manufactured in the factory.
The Cosmos intercontinental missile is still being tested, and the Polaris submarine-launched missile and the USS Washington nuclear submarine have not yet been completed, so it can be said that it is in a window period.
Then the only thing that can be done is to negotiate with Yang Feng through diplomatic channels to let him withdraw these missiles, but at that time, he will have to be slaughtered.
At this time, Eisenhower suddenly understood why Yang Feng, who had always abided by the rules of the political game, suddenly made such a neurotic act, this bastard was preparing to blackmail, as for what he wanted to blackmail, then he had to ask him.
After thinking about this, Eisenhower calmed down, and if that was the case, the matter would have been solved.
"President, what are we going to do?"
Allan. Dulles cautiously said that the reason for all this was largely because of the CIA's dereliction of duty, if they hadn't been deceived by Yang Feng, then all this would not have happened, so he is now full of self-blame in his heart.
"What to do? Do nothing! ”
Eisenhower said through gritted teeth. (To be continued.) )
