Chapter 595: Tense Confrontation (I)

The previous juxtaposition of the three powers in the world world has turned into a confrontation between the two powers, and the relationship between the two sides, which no longer has any bonds, suddenly became tense, and even the civilians smelled the smell of gunpowder that the war was about to begin.

Due to the miscalculation of the form, the Chinese Empire did not expect that the Allied bloc would be defeated so quickly, and the agreement on the sale of war materials to it was still being negotiated, and several major Allied countries surrendered one after another, and in addition, because it did not prepare for war in advance, NATO was unable to enter the war at the most critical moment of the Allied Powers.

All NATO can do now is to allow the three governments to take refuge in the Chinese Empire, help them form a government-in-exile, and continue its political confrontation with the Axis bloc. The Axis bloc was also very attritional due to the war with the Allies. Especially the Nantes Empire, the Yaman Empire, the Habfsburg Kingdom and the Grand Duchy of Sardinia, where the industrial facilities in these places were greatly damaged, and the entire country was almost turned into a scorched earth.

By June 924, the hostility between the two sides had become so pronounced that even the newspapers of the Nantes Empire began to openly state that the world was the world of white people, and that such explicit reports would not be allowed for the yellow race to act as a prestige. Antipathy towards the Western Continent and the Boston Empire also grew in the Chinese Empire, and talk of eliminating the axis of evil also grew.

In view of the tense situation, Fang Ruijun once again increased his investment in the navy, and at the same time began to double the size of the army, and even began to recruit five million reserve troops for formal training, and the size of the air force will also be tripled.

The industrial system of the Chinese Empire began to slowly transform in the direction of war, and all kinds of civilian factories began to turn to the production of military supplies, especially the major aircraft factories were in full operation, and they provided the military with the latest jet aircraft at a rate of 50 planes per month, and the manufacturing speed was constantly increasing. On the naval side, although it is not easy to build large warships, submarines, missile boats for coastal defense, and fast torpedo boats have been launched.

Not only the Chinese Empire is preparing, but even several other NATO allies have begun to speed up their own militarization, a large number of recruits have been conscripted into the army to participate in recruit training, and the entire country's industrial system has also rapidly begun to transform, while NATO countries have begun to gradually reduce grain exports, sensitive high-tech and electronic exports have been completely cut off, economic and trade exchanges between the Axis countries and NATO have been almost completely severed, and preparations for war are being completed step by step.

NATO countries have begun a large-scale arms build-up war, which can be a big deal for the Boston Empire, and now the Axis countries have not yet fully absorbed the newly occupied territory, and their preparations for NATO war are not mature. Therefore, on the one hand, the Boston Empire sent a special envoy to convey friendship to the Chinese Empire, expressing the hope that the two countries would deepen their understanding and avoid misunderstandings, but on the other hand, they stepped up preparations for war, trying to defeat the army of the Chinese Empire as soon as possible and occupy the rich eastern land that had long been coveted by them.

After all, the Chinese Empire is the country with the largest population, the strongest industrial power, and the highest scientific and technological strength in the world, so the Chinese Empire's war preparations are much faster than other countries, especially the docks in the shipyards that are crowded with warships under construction, which makes all countries frightened.

In order to test the Chinese Empire's military readiness and determination to fight, the Boston Empire began to test the NATO bloc at sea and in the air to determine its own combat plan.

"It's already sixty kilometers from the port of Alexandra, and our radar detected it." The radar officers excitedly reported that this was the first time that their radar aircraft had carried out patrol missions.

After the war, the Boston Empire acquired a lot of new equipment from the Yaman Empire, such as multiple rocket launchers, tube computers, and more miniaturized radar systems.

After unremitting efforts and dismantling and analysis of the radar of the Yaman Empire, the Boston Empire finally succeeded in producing a magnetron, reducing the size of the radar to the point where it could be carried on an airplane. It's just that the reduction in the size of the radar is only relative, and the carrier it needs is still very large, so the Boston Empire can only use the B29 bomber, which has the highest payload in the country, and convert it into their first Hawkeye radar reconnaissance aircraft.

This radar reconnaissance plane has just been equipped with the Tunisian Air Force, mainly used to monitor targets in the Mediterranean, today they are the first time to approach the Chinese Empire for reconnaissance, so the whole crew is quite nervous, and now it has reached a distance of nearly 60 kilometers, and the radar has finally clearly scanned the coastline of Alexandra Port, and they are relieved that today's test mission is basically completed.

The Bostonians on the radar plane did not know what to do, as early as 200 kilometers away, they were discovered by the ground radar station in Port Alexandra, and after seeing that they had approached the warning range of 70 kilometers, a Golden Eagle 5 fighter of the Guards was ordered to take off into the air and fly towards the other side.

Seventy kilometers is not a long range, Zhao Changqing piloted his Golden Eagle 5 fighter plane, flying at a subsonic speed at an altitude of 6,000 meters, and it took only four minutes to arrive at the scene, and at a distance of 60 kilometers, he had already used airborne radar to lock on to the huge and bloated Boston reconnaissance plane opposite.

"Oh my God, it's the fighter of the Chinese Empire, he has discovered us." The radar operator had been paying attention to the screen, and when Zhao Changqing approached, he spotted the other party on the radar.

"Oh my God, he's not going to shoot us down." Another radar officer exclaimed, clearly panicked.

"Shut up for me, keep quiet, we are still far from the other side's territorial waters, they don't dare to open fire, otherwise it will be a declaration of war." The captain said viciously in the microphone, trying his best to suppress the panic of the crew.

"Won't they go to war against us? I think it's dangerous. The co-pilot muttered, but in exchange for a vicious look from the captain.

"It was found that the opponent was a four-engine heavy aircraft with a special bulge on the fuselage, and it was suspected that the opponent was a reconnaissance plane with an airborne radar." After seeing the other party clearly within visual distance, Zhao Changqing immediately made a radio report to the ground command center.

After the briefing, Zhao Changqing approached the other party's plane and shouted to the other party through a general channel: "This place is close to the territorial waters of the Chinese Empire, please leave immediately to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." I repeat, this place is close to the territorial waters of the Chinese Empire, so please leave immediately to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Zhao Changqing issued a warning to the Boston plane, and his radar has been locked on the opponent's plane, and the air-to-air missiles under the wings are already in a state of readiness, but the radar of the Boston people is very primitive, and there is no radar lock warning system at all, so they are still at a loss and do not know that they are in danger.

"He shouted, shouted, how do we answer." The co-pilot asked with some panic.

The captain said: "Don't pay attention to them, let's increase the altitude, those fighters don't have our altitude limit, they will naturally give up." "The captain is still more experienced, and he plans to rely on a higher ceiling to get rid of the entanglement of the fighter, but in fact, he has no bottom in his heart now, as long as he tries to stay away from the other party, which is more reassuring.

Soon the reconnaissance plane rose in altitude and rose towards its limit of 10,000 and 200 meters. Seeing the other party raise his altitude, Zhao Changqing was annoyed, and the other party actually ignored his warning, not only continued to fly towards the territorial waters of the Chinese Empire, but also raised the altitude, trying to get rid of himself.

According to Zhao Changqing's temper, he really wanted to hit it with a missile, but he knew very well that he couldn't be reckless, once he launched an attack, it would be an act of war, which would have a great negative impact on the country, so he also raised his height and followed.

The Golden Eagle 5 fighter is the latest jet fighter of the Chinese Empire, with a climb rate of up to 31 meters per second, and a practical ceiling of 16,580 meters, far ahead of the Boston Empire's aircraft.

Zhao Changqing controlled the steering of his fighter and firmly pressed into the sky above the Boston reconnaissance plane, if they continued to increase the altitude, they would be trampled under the feet of the Golden Eagle 5 fighter. Zhao Changqing smiled slightly, put the landing gear down, he was going to use the landing gear to scrape off the machine gun tower on the opponent's back, and give the other party an unforgettable lesson.

Zhao Changqing's plan was not implemented, because the captain of the Boston man saw that the other party had already flown over him, and he sane up and stopped raising the altitude. "Our plane patrols normally, I hope your army will not block it." Seeing that the other party was not easy to mess with, the captain also replied in Chinese, and now due to the popularization of computers, Mandarin has become the mainstream language in the world, so in official dialogues and such international dialogues, everyone invariably uses Mandarin.

The corners of Zhao Changqing's mouth turned up slightly, he wouldn't talk to the other party about the high seas and territorial waters. As long as he thought that the other party threatened the security of the empire, he would not be polite, so Zhao Changqing once again issued a warning to the other party. Captain Boston was a little annoyed, the other party didn't understand the reason at all, even on the high seas to expel him, a little annoyed, he decided to ignore the Chinese Imperial fighter pilot, and continued to approach the coastline.

Seeing that the other party ignored his warning, Zhao Changqing's bullish temper also came up, and he immediately piloted the plane to make a turn and entered the position of biting the tail to attack. Zhao Changqing, who entered this position, did not send out the missile, because he did not want to cause a war yet, and at most it would be enough to cause some diplomatic disputes.
