Chapter 242 242 Dictatorship is not satisfied
Soon, more PLA soldiers landed in different parts of East Malaysia, with a total size of nearly 7,000 men in two brigades. Since Qi Yiming moved the sub-base to Malaya, the base has produced more than 9,000 Red Police soldiers, and the remaining places have been used to produce additional troops such as military dogs and engineers. After lv2, the ability to build troops has increased greatly, and it has also made Qi Yiming's strength stronger.
The PLA Army, which was originally planned, has completed the formation of six brigades, with the exception of the 01 Brigade and the 02 Brigade, which are mechanized units, and the 03, 04, 05, and 06 Brigades are all mountain mobile brigades. These units have been reorganized and reorganized many times, and have basically formed a composition of more than 3,000 people in each brigade, with red police soldiers as the backbone and demobilized and retired volunteers from the locals.
Even if it is to build a fully mechanized army, Qi Yiming does not have the slightest pressure, but first, he feels that it is completely unnecessary and a waste of resources, and second, the Southeast Asian region, which has a low degree of development, will be more troublesome in the logistics required by the mechanized troops after leaving the radiation range of the base, and more mechanical repair and maintenance of non-commissioned officers, fuel and ammunition, in short, it is quite a headache. In this case, it is better to build such a lightly armed unit to fully meet the needs of operations.
What is shocking is that when the SPA army invaded East Malaysia, the local natives such as the Iban people and the Kadarshan Dushun people did not know where to get weapons from the SLA army, and cooperated with the SLA to deal with the Malay soldiers who were still unwilling to lay down their arms and continue to resist. In order to gain a foothold in West Malaysia, the Malaysian government has successively dispatched the Malay Legion from East Malaysia to fight in West Malaysia.
The PLA did not encounter any large-scale resistance in East Malaysia, and on the first day, important cities such as Miri, Sibu, Kuching, Bintulu, and Kota Kinabalu were already breached by the PLA. On the surface, the attack on East Malaysia was a matter of incident, but the core demand was to get the British garrison in Brunei to withdraw from here and enter Brunei.
Brunei's British army was not afraid to fight the PLA, and many even planned to help the useless navy avenge it. But the British commander was still afraid, and it was impossible for the British to send any more troops to reinforce them, but the SARS could continue to increase their troops here. Moreover, the Sultan of Brunei, Bolkiah, has already stated that he will expel them unless they storm the royal palace and overthrow the Sultan of Brunei, but this method is even more unreliable.
Under urgent contact, the U.S. military base in Subic Bay in the Philippines agreed to temporarily allow British troops to settle here and proceed with the next step. In this way, under the intimidation of the Southern Liberation Army, the British army took a civilian ship from Bandar Seri Begawan in a gloomy manner, gave up a large number of baggage, and set off for refuge in the Philippines.
As soon as the British army left, Brunei opened its doors to welcome a battalion of infantry from the Southern Liberation Army into a military facility that originally belonged to the British army.
International commentators believe that Brunei's behavior is not difficult to explain. Britain's new defeat led to instability in the war, and unless Britain poured out its national strength and went on an expedition in the foreseeable time, the southern liberation was destined to become the hegemon of South and Southeast Asia. There is also China behind the Southern Solution, or the Southern Liberation is a part of China, and Brunei's choice of sides is also for its own interests.
However, few people know that the Sultan of Brunei's abandonment of Britain and his choice to join the Yugoslav solution was not driven by profit and pragmatism alone.
First Hong Kong, then Brunei, Britain's strongholds in the Far East have been uprooted one after another, although on the surface China and Brunei are two countries, most people feel that the two entities are not fundamentally different, cooperate with each other and share interests. This set of combination punches made the already uncomfortable situation of Britain even worse.
But even at such a juncture, the prime minister's wife, who was originally known as the Iron Lady, is still the same.
"The international community can see that China's despicable acts are disgusting to any righteous person in the world. China's actions are a challenge to the international order and the conscience of humanity, and the courageous British will not allow China to continue to provoke the glory of the United Kingdom with such acts. I solemnly declare that the United Kingdom will use all necessary means to counteract and will not rule out the use of nuclear weapons. This is the official ultimatum, China must withdraw from Hong Kong, Brunei, and Malaysia, and compensate Britain for all losses, and apologize to Britain and the international community...... "On the third day after the SPLA was stationed in Brunei and the sixth day after the PLA was stationed in Hong Kong, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher made an official speech, strongly criticizing China, and did not even mention the SAD, and directly aimed the spearhead at the biggest one.
China's eating appearance is indeed too ugly, but people themselves have found reasons, the evidence is conclusive, and many well-intentioned people, including Qi Yiming, have carried out extensive publicity in the world. The demand for independence of the Nanyang Chinese, or the bloody rebellion of Hong Kong and Britain, although it cannot be ruled out that some people are behind the scenes, but countries such as Britain or Malaysia are definitely not clean on the buttocks.
Essentially, this is similar to what was before World War I and World War II, where up-and-comers challenged traditional powers. The difference is that Britain has been declining one after another, while China is in a much better international environment than Germany, Japan and Italy in the past.
The United States has revealed its dissatisfaction with China's move, but China has privately sent a message to the United States that China cherishes its alliance with the United States and other Western countries and does not want to continue fighting with Britain.
Who some people are talking about, everyone knows clearly.
Britain's toughness has not come without a price. After Margaret Thatcher publicly called for the use of nuclear weapons, a strong wave of opposition broke out in the country, not only the opposition parties made a big fuss, but also the general public's distrust of the cabinet government and the fear of a possible nuclear war, which also put the Thatcher government under great pressure.
The royal family has once again spoken out against the continuation of the war.
On the other side of the Eurasian continent, when Britain set its sights on China, the originally hard-line Taizong did not make any remarks like Margaret Thatcher, and unlike the later Celestial Empire authorities, this one liked to do more than to talk.
The day after the British ultimatum was issued, the waters east of the Palau Islands in the southwest Pacific Ocean.
"The military committee issued a special combat order, coordinates N40-11-16, E86-19-17, Alpha shell, one load." A steel shark hidden 100 meters at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean immediately became excited and busy at the moment when the news was sent from thousands of kilometers away from China.
The captain picked up the command paper and muttered: "Is it in the desert of Xinjiang, a nuclear test or an emergency exercise?" Since the 094 strategic nuclear submarine was installed at the beginning of last year, the Navy's four nuclear submarines have been rotated to carry out non-stop patrol missions, and the range of cruising varies from the western Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean region. The first cruising underwater fleet, consisting of one 091 and one 094, at that time the Zhenguo heavy weapon did not carry any nuclear weapons, and its main task was to test navigation performance and other indicators.
This time, however, the cruise was different, and the 16 Julang-2 SLBMs had been replaced with four ballistic missiles equipped with nuclear warheads when they were docked for adjustment. This also made the officers and men of the whole ship extremely nervous, and at the same time, they were full of a sense of mission. They are the republic's most rear-level heavy-fisted defense line, and they are nuclear forces that will be shocked by the world if they do not make a move.
The four missiles equipped with nuclear warheads are all 250,000-ton thermonuclear warheads of uniform specifications, and each missile carries four of these nuclear warheads, that is, the four Julang-2 of the whole ship, which can destroy at least 16 large and medium-sized cities in 16 places, causing huge blows and damage.
Originally, everyone only thought that it was a normal combat readiness cruise mission, but no one expected that they received an order to attack. To the relief of the captain and sailors, the target of the attack was in the desert of their home country, and it appeared to be a test launch. It's not surprising that since the 094 and Julang-2 were put into service, there hasn't been a single real test launch.
"As soon as you come up, you can hit the alpha bomb, and if something goes wrong, it will be troublesome." The commissar on the boat frowned. The Alpha bomb is a new term in the nuclear submarine force, referring to a ballistic missile carrying a nuclear warhead, while the Beta bomb is a missile with a non-nuclear warhead and only a conventional high-explosive warhead.
The captain was also nervous and worried, but an order is an order, and there is no room for suspicion or rejection. After proofreading the launch key, the captain and the commissar each took a key from their necks and inserted it into the keyhole in the CIC, and the two looked at each other while turning the key. At this moment, the behemoth of the sea finally gained the ability to launch in real terms.
"Floating up to 10 meters," there will be more uncertainty and danger when launching at too deep, so before launching, the submarine should float from the deep sea to shallow water, rather than completely surfacing the submarine for launch.
"Launch!" After the captain took a few deep breaths, he gave an order, and a huge wave of missiles shot out of the turtle's back silo, and violently drilled out of the water with water bubbles, until it ignited again in mid-air and rushed into the sky. The ballistic missile is propelled by a rocket engine to detach itself from the surface one stage at a time until it breaks out of the atmosphere and moves at high speed.
After flying nearly 8,000 kilometers, the missile performed an atmospheric re-entry and slammed into the desert on the ground at hypersonic speed, which had been designated as a test site. At the last moment of the four nuclear warheads, each of them was directed towards the predetermined target, and four mushroom clouds rose up.
It was a successful missile test and nuclear test, and although four nuclear warheads and one ballistic missile were used at once, the impact far outweighed the cost. The next day, all the front-page headlines in the international newspapers reported the incident.
"China has successfully developed a submarine-launched ballistic missile with a range of more than 8,000 kilometers to deter the world." ——People's Daily
"Nuclear war is on the verge of breaking out, and in the face of Britain's ultimatum, China responds with a nuclear test explosion." —The Washington Post
"The whole island is facing the coverage of China's nuclear missiles, and the countdown to the destruction of Britain is counted." - The Times
