When Duke "destroyed" all the Tomahawk cruise missiles, the military only breathed a sigh of relief, and soon, the J-11Cs of the two groups that were ordered to take off urgently flew into the airspace of the twin islands at the fastest speed to guard against a new round of air attacks launched by the US military.

Helicopters arrived earlier than the Air Force fighters, and two Mi-171 transport helicopters in one of the nearest counties to the Twin Islands were ordered to meet the Twin Islands as soon as Duke reported the destruction of the cruise missile.

These are some of Qin Tairan's back-up hands prepared to protect Duke's safety, and I didn't expect it to really come in handy today, although everyone is just a false alarm now, but who can predict that the US military will not make further moves, so the top priority is to urgently evacuate Duke to the mainland is the most important task of the military at present. These two helicopters came with two squads of the local armed police squadron mobilized by Zhao Lie earlier, who will be stationed on the Twin Islands to replace Zhao Lie to clear the remnants of the enemy, while Zhao Lie's security team will evacuate with Duke in the direction of the mainland, this elite escort force responsible for Duke's security will only follow Duke in action.

On the other hand, due to the "excellent" performance of the Twin Islands' beam-energy electromagnetic launchers, the military has also made a new understanding of the Twin Islands, and the General Staff Department urgently ordered the East China Sea Fleet to dispatch a small fleet headed by the 052D destroyer to sail at full speed to the waters of the Twin Islands, preparing to temporarily act as an air missile defense barrier for the Twin Islands.

Now the twin islands have been upgraded to an important military base that must be protected by the military, not only to establish an air defense system around the island, but also to set up an independent island protection squadron and a maritime guard force on the island, from the level of defense to the same height as the Lotus nuclear research base and the DSM weapons research and development base, and in the future I am afraid that it will not be much inferior to the defense force of Diaoyutai.

These are just protective measures for the military to make up for the loss of the sheep, and in terms of foreign retaliatory strikes, the military bosses are very angry at the US attack. Vice Chairman Liu, who was attending the Standing Committee as an observer at that time, directly slapped the table after receiving that Duke was openly dispatched by the US military to launch a cruise missile attack from a nuclear submarine, interrupted the agenda of the Standing Committee, and proposed to the No. 1 leader to temporarily withdraw from his post and return to the Central Military Commission to deal with the matter specifically.

Although from a military point of view, we have a greater chance of winning an all-out counterattack in another three to five years, and from an economic point of view, we now need a stable external environment for development, but the Americans have already bullied us to the point where we have reached this point, and even the bigwigs present are a bit earthy, and in the face of this naked slap in the face, we cannot just condemn us diplomatically and say a few words, but must carry out an effective counterattack militarily.

Therefore, when Vice Chairman Liu returned to the CMC, he immediately convened an emergency CMC discussion, and the only theme of the meeting was to discuss how to launch an effective retaliatory strike against this provocative act of the US military.

On the other side of the ocean, the CIA and the US military high-level saw through the Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that the twin islands were still safe and sound after the Tomahawk cruise missile exploded, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

However, in order to meet the anger that may erupt next after the attack on the Chinese, the US military ordered all garrisons in Asia to be raised to the highest alert state, and the air defense system is in a state of imminent combat, according to the Snyder team's judgment, the PLA is very likely to strike US military bases in Asia through missile attacks.

Snyder's team carefully deduced dozens of options and concluded that the most vulnerable place to attack by the PLA was the U.S. military's Naha base. This is because opposite Naha not only has the most dense surface-to-ground and surface-to-sea missile bases deployed by the PLA, but also has the largest combat aircraft group of the PLA, which can be said to be the most powerful area for the PLA's combat power deployment.

In response to this situation, Snyder had already suggested that the US and Japanese forces at the Naha base have deployed a large number of Patriot missile defense systems to cover the Naha base tightly, and at the same time, the US Pacific Fleet has also deployed the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier battle group in the port of Naha, which has five Aegis Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers and Arlie. Burke-class guided missile destroyers, these advanced air defense warships provide a strong sea-based air defense capability for the Naha base.

Therefore, Snyder's group analysis believes that even if the PLA launches a retaliatory strike against Naha with missiles, the US military will have enough air defense to defend it, and the losses will not be too large.

According to the Snyder group's deduction, after the PLA launched a counterattack, the Chinese not only had an internal explanation, but also had a clear understanding of the PLA's capabilities, knowing that they could not fully compete with the US military now, so that a new balance would be re-established between China and the United States.

According to the Snyder group's calculations, although the PLA has improved its combat power qualitatively, it is still only a defensive force for the US military on the whole, and as long as there is a missile counterattack against the Naha base, China's leaders can account for it internally and appease the growing nationalist upsurge in the country.

In order to analyze the possible reaction of the Chinese side, the Snyder team hired a well-known strategic analysis agency like Rand, which can be said to have invested enough money, so in the face of the analysis report on the consequences of the hypothetical attack provided by Snyder, the director of the CIA Norland made up his mind to promote this extremely bold plan, if the attack is only in exchange for a local conflict with the Chinese side, for Norland, this consequence is completely acceptable to the United States, anyway, for the current Sino-US relations, there is much difference between one more and one less thing, Anyway, it is now in the stage of confrontation, and it is very difficult for the Americans to attack the interior of the Chinese mainland, and the casualties cannot be controlled, but in turn, the PLA does not want to take advantage of the US military.

However, now this near-perfect plan has deviated greatly, and in the face of the failure of the US military's sudden attack, looking at the uninjured Chinese, the Americans are greatly disappointed on the one hand, and greatly relieved on the other hand, because the pressure of facing the anger of the PLA is invisibly much smaller.

However, the Americans relaxed too soon.

Soon, the military committee unified its understanding, and the military bigwigs unanimously agreed to respond strongly to the actions of the US military. Two hours after the incident, a spokesman for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) released to the world radar images of the US military's brazen attack on Chinese civilian facilities, strongly condemning the incident and warning that the PLA reserves the right to retaliate at any time.

The UN Secretary-General expressed regret over the US military's attack and called on China and the United States to proceed from world peace and development, resolve their disputes through political negotiations, and refrain from taking any military action to aggravate the current tense situation.

The Russians, for their part, condemned the actions of the Americans, and their diplomatic spokesman warned that any act of hegemony could be self-defeating. The Germans and the French expressed regret that military action increased the risk of war in the current tense standoff between China and the United States.

Of course, this time the British and the Japanese still did not hesitate to stand behind the Americans, saying that the evidence released by the Chinese side did not explain anything, and the unscathed Chinese side could not prove that the US military's Tomahawk cruise missiles were aimed at civilian facilities.

In the face of these external reactions, Vice Chairman Liu sneered contemptuously and personally issued an order at the General Staff Operations Command Center to attack the Cape Canaveral Air Base, a target in the United States.

The 097-class nuclear submarine cruising in the waters of Bermuda at this moment is the 238 and 239 ships that the Pacific Fleet was ordered to carry out global submarine missions, and after receiving the combat order from the headquarters, Zhang Han, the captain of the 238 ship, and Cao Yunhai, the captain of the 239 ship, launched an attack almost at the same time, and the eight latest DH-10 cruise missiles jumped out of the sea like dragons, and then began to reduce their altitude and fly towards the target against the sea surface.

The 238 and 239 ships immediately after launching let the "fish" system roaming on the sea surface self-destruct, and then started to withdraw from the firing area at full speed and sail towards the South Atlantic Ocean to avoid the frenzied search of the sea and air that the US military was about to launch.

Compared with the Tomahawk cruise missile, the PLA's new DH-10 cruise missile will abandon the turbofan engine in the last 150 kilometers and use a ramjet rocket engine to drive, so that its terminal speed can reach 3 times the speed of sound.

One hour later, when the DH-10 cruise missile was about 300 kilometers away from the target, the US military's early warning system finally discovered these uninvited guests, but although the "Patriot" PAC-3 ballistic missile defense system was deployed at the US military Cape Canaveral Air Base, this missile defense system was aimed at ballistic missiles from the air, and its minimum interception altitude was 300 meters, that is, in the face of cruise missiles from the sea, the "Patriot" The PAC-3 ballistic missile defense system is completely powerless.
