Chapter 624: The Galaxy Incident
Precision-guided weapons are quite expensive, and even the wealthy United States cannot be equipped in large quantities, and there are restrictions on the use of various weapons, for example, television guidance devices can only be used in good weather, infrared guidance needs to have a heat source, and the most accurate laser guidance cannot penetrate the smoke on the battlefield.
With the continuous progress of technology, the United States has begun to successfully network the global positioning system, using the receiving terminal of the global positioning system, and improving it, it can be used to provide the most accurate signal to the bomb, you know, the accuracy of civilian use is within 10 meters, and the military is as high as the decimeter level, or even the centimeter level, and it is absolutely quite accurate to use. Using this to modify an ordinary free-fall bomb can also greatly reduce the cost.
Even the United States, after the Gulf War, began to study the "precision-guided munitions for bad weather" program, with the aim of developing fourth-generation guided bombs with day/night, all-weather, out-of-zone defense, projection-and-forget multi-target attack capabilities in view of the various shortcomings of the third-generation laser-guided bombs exposed in the Gulf War. The "Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM)" satellite positioning/inertial navigation guided bomb is the first fourth-generation guided bomb successfully developed, which was first used in NATO's air attack on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999.
And now, the United States has not begun to develop a plan to equip GPS on ordinary bombs, which is the first in the world.
"Okay, this project is very important, and we can continue to work on it." Mhammad immediately made a decision.
Mhammad, of course, knows that the GPS is American's, and at a critical time, the Americans may turn off the GPS signal over a certain area and disable this precision-guided weapon, though. Now it seems that this kind of weapon is still of great significance, and now that Pakistan is unable to build a global positioning system on its own, there is no choice but to use the signals of the Americans.
As he was listening to the report of the person in charge at the Babel High-Tech Center, Mhammad suddenly saw his assistant hurriedly walk in. Xiang Hamad said: "Mr. President, there has just been a diplomatic incident, the US Navy hijacked the Huaxia Galaxy in the Indian Ocean!" ”
Galaxy! Mhammad was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked: "Did the Americans accuse Huaxia of transporting chemical weapons?" ”
"Yes." The aide replied to Mhammad with surprise in his eyes, Mr. President is a very capable man, who seems to be able to predict the prophet, just by clues. It is possible to infer various events.
Galaxy! Of course, this incident is clear to Mhammad, and in history, it happened in 93 years. On July 7 of that year, the "Yinhe" departed from Tianjin Xingang, passed through Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Jakarta, and finally carried a total of 628 containers and sailed to the Middle East. It is expected to arrive at Dubai Port in the Persian Gulf on August 3 to unload. Then go to the Saudi ports of Dammam and Kuwait. However, it was on July 23rd. The United States claimed to have conclusive evidence that the Milky Way was carrying thiodiethylene glycol and thionyl chloride, which could be used to make chemical weapons, to Bandar Abbas, Iran. The warning was that the Americans sent warships and planes to track and monitor the Yinhe and demanded that the Yinhe return home. Just in the international high seas of the Indian Ocean, the Americans, a world pirate, hijacked and detained the Galaxy for three weeks. Afterwards. Under Saudi mediation, joint Saudi and U.S. investigators inspected the Milky Way, which is docked at the Jukol naval base near the port of Dammam. The 628th and last cargo box on the "Yinhe" cargo ship was inspected, no chemical weapons were found, and the three parties signed an inspection report.
This is a serious incident. It is a bad manifestation of the hegemonic behavior of the United States, the Americans seem to be the world's policemen, maliciously detaining the Huaxia freighter, delaying the voyage for more than a month, and physically threatening the personnel on the freighter, but after the inspection, no thiodiglycol or thionyl chloride was found, and the Americans did not even apologize, but announced the results of the investigation, and then it was gone.
And now, this incident has happened in advance, thinking that the US election has reached the final stage, the elder Bush has made such a move, naturally for his own election momentum!
To show the strength of the United States, to show the diplomatic skills of Bush Sr., to divert domestic economic contradictions, and to create opportunities for the success of re-election, Bush Sr. is really not a good bird!
Mhammad, who got the news, returned to the presidential palace from the Babel High-Tech Center and saw the diplomatic ambassador of Huaxia waiting for him.
"Mr. President, our Milky Way freighter has been maliciously seized by the United States." Ambassador Vam said to Mhammad.
"Yes, the news, I just knew." Mhammad replied: "It is really disgusting that the Americans should carry out such pirate-like acts in the open seas. ”
"Our ships, loaded with ordinary cargo, absolutely do not have those raw materials in the American population, but now, the Americans are aggressive, and we are very passive." Ambassador Fan said.
Of course there will be no such things, and even if there are, how can the Americans know about them! The intelligence agencies of the Americans, not to mention that they are very good, can spy on military intelligence all over the world, but in fact, the reconnaissance of socialist countries is very backward.
"I know this, and I believe that our Chinese friends are good friends who abide by basic international law." Mhammad said.
"Now, we're going to fix this as soon as possible." Ambassador Fan said: "We have decided to send Mr. Sha, Deputy Director General of the Department of International Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as our government representative, to deal with this matter, and now, we also need a third party, if the United States mandates unloading inspections, it needs to be inspected by a third party that we trust." ”
Huaxia has already made preparations, and according to the Americans' urine and the current situation in Huaxia, the Americans insist on going their own way and forcibly demand inspections, and the Huaxia side must also agree, and when the time comes, in order to prevent the Americans from being framed, Huaxia must conduct inspections in a trusted third-party country.
Historically, Saudi Arabia has taken on this task, and now, the Chinese side, apparently, hopes that Pakistan will reach out and conduct inspections in Pakistan.
"There is no problem at all, as long as you need us Pakistan, we Pakistan can act as an intermediary at any time." Mhammad said: "The Indian Ocean is not yet a place where Americans can show off their might!" ”
If it was in other seas, such as near Malacca, Mhammad would not be able to reach him, and now, in the Indian Ocean, the American navy would dare to be a pirate! I simply didn't take the Pakistan Navy into account!
There are some wind and waves in the Indian Ocean, more than two meters high waves are splashing, and in the waves, the Milky Way freighter, is constantly shaking.
This is a container ship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, the bridge is in the rear, and the large area in front of it is occupied by neatly stacked containers. ”
At this time, it was the scorching heat, in the tropical Indian Ocean, the temperature exceeded more than 50 degrees, and the entire Galaxy seemed to have become a big oven, there was originally air conditioning in the cabin, but now the air conditioning has been turned off, and the entire cabin is extremely hot, and everyone has a layer of stinky sweat.
The Galaxy has been in the Middle East and China, as if every time according to the needs of normal voyages to carry fresh water and food, as well as fuel, now, the Americans began to hijack the freighter, although it did not pedal, but it is not known when it will arrive to receive supplies, at this time, it is necessary to save all kinds of resources.
"Damn Americans!" A crew member looked out to see the American missile cruiser CG-61 "Monterey", passing by the side of the ship.
This is an American-made Ticonderoga-class cruiser with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, this cruiser is the iconic missile cruiser of the US Navy, it is equipped with MK41 launchers, which can launch various missiles, as well as advanced naval guns and torpedoes and other weapons, especially the "Aegis" multifunctional phased array radar system near the bridge, which is the Aegis cruiser of the US Navy.
This cruiser is a destroyer that was started by the United States in 87 and commissioned in 90, and it is only two years old.
This warship sailed by, and another one came to starboard, warship No. 975, and a few minutes later, a third warship, No. 996, also sailed by, these three warships, sandwiched the Galaxy in the middle, to prevent the Galaxy from escaping.
"Boom, boom." The helicopter overhead was roaring, and in order to put the greatest psychological pressure on the Galaxy, the Americans not only the warship, but even the helicopter on board the carrier were dispatched and hovered in the air.
"Fuck the Americans, if Lao Tzu hadn't retired yet, he would definitely use 37mm naval guns to bombard your son of a bitch!" Another crew member said that this crew member's name is Zhang Ming, who retired from the South China Sea Fleet and has been floating on the sea all year round, so after retiring, he became a crew member.
"You say, will our motherland come to save us?" A voice whispered.
In the past few days, the Americans have been flexing their muscles to hold this freighter hostage, and they are all waiting, but until now, nothing has come of it.
"I can't say, a few years ago, the Iran-Iraq war attacked ships, and after fighting for so long, the warships of our navy did not come to escort them, and I heard that a cargo ship in Hong Kong was beaten and stranded, and finally sold." One of the crew members said, and after speaking, he sighed: "Weak countries have no diplomacy." (To be continued......)
