There was hardly any movement in the outside world about the Global Hawk incident, which caused a storm at the top of the domestic military, and the eyes of military observers in the major media were all focused on the military exercises announced by the Chinese side suddenly and in a high-profile manner. The 8,000-kilometer designated temporary forbidden zone has triggered countless reliable and unreliable speculations in the world's major media.

And the Global Hawk, which was fooled down by Duke, was secretly transported to the secret research institute in the mainland after being dismantled, and completely disappeared invisibly.

It was only at this time that the few people in the know were completely relieved, because this piece of fat that had been delivered to the mouth was really eaten.

In the face of the unresponsive US military, the high-level people judged that they should have no suspicion of our military, anyway, this is not the first time that the Global Hawk has had an accident, and there have been several serious accidents before, including such tragedies as crashing. Therefore, everyone judges that most of the US military will end this matter in the form of an unknown serious accident.

A few days later, when the official mystery of the military exercise was revealed, the news footage of the military exercise from CCTV surprised the outside world, a new ballistic missile that had never appeared before was successfully launched from a mysterious submarine that had never appeared, and directly hit the designated sea area.

Judging from the size of the missile, 8,000 kilometers should be its small test, and the real ultimate range can reach at least 14,000 kilometers to 16,000 kilometers. This range illustrates that this is a striking force that can cover most of the United States.

If this estimated range is enough to make the US military highly nervous, then what happened in the final stage of the missile captured by the US military satellite is even more terrifying to the US military, with as many as 16 sub-guided warheads, making the reliable anti-missile system, which the US military has always relied on, an extremely unreliable ornament.

What's more, the Chinese side also deliberately displayed the bridge part of a brand-new submarine, judging from the interpretation of the US military, this is a typical practice of brightening muscles, but the bad thing is that there is basically no information on this new type of submarine before.

Judging from the vaguely displayed bridge, this submarine is quite different from the previously announced, and it is speculated that it will not be smaller than any of the previously announced submarines in terms of size, and from these circumstances, there is no doubt that this is a nuclear submarine with long-term submersible capabilities.

It is capable of launching strategic missiles, but it is not 094, so it is very likely that this is the 096 that has been legendary for a long time. According to Chinese practice, such submarines are usually built in pairs, with one veiled and the other certainly quietly lurking in the depths of the ocean, but the US military's reconnaissance system did not react at all this time, which shows the tightness of China's protective measures on the one hand, and also shows that this new type of submarine is also unique in technology.

As if to test the limit of the US military's patience, the DF-21E accurately hit a retired frigate target ship in a high-speed operation state after cruising 1,000 kilometers away, which made the US Navy people gasp, although it is possible that the Chinese side preset the route of the frigate among the designated targets of the missile, but even so, there is still a huge technical difference between being able to hit a high-speed moving target and hitting a stationary target.

Because this means that at least within 1,000 kilometers, the Chinese side already has the ability to attack any large ship.

For the US military's aircraft carrier-led ship formation in the western Pacific, this is a real deadly threat, and the threat of the DF-21E conventional weapon is more realistic than the strategic missile launched by the mysterious submarine, which is usually a large-scale weapon of mass destruction, because the strategic missile is not something that can be used casually, even if China has a small-scale conflict with the United States.

But the DF-21E is different, in the case of a conflict between the two sides, it will be used.

Without understanding China's strategic intentions and the performance parameters of the weapons in this exercise, the US military suspended the operation of the aircraft carrier into the so-called hot spots that may cause a conflict with the Chinese side. Losing a Global Hawk, as long as it does not fall into the hands of the Chinese side, is just a pain in the flesh, but if you lose an aircraft carrier, it is not as simple as a pain in the flesh.

China's high-profile display of this completely unexpected timing of the military exercise is enough to attract attention, and the exercise uses two new weapons of mass destruction, this sudden sword action, so that the surrounding countries with ghosts are frightened and inexplicable, especially the increasingly arrogant island country, is a series of tracking reports, major events to exaggerate the Chinese threat is no longer a legend, but a real reality, calling on the government to re-examine its own armament program.

In the face of China's DF-21E, even the islanders' self-proclaimed superiority in sea power has suddenly become less reliable.

In the event of an instant loss of maritime superiority, the island countries judged that the main thing in the future conflict with China would be a showdown of naval and air strength, and the period of naval expansion was too long, so the people on the island side could only speed up the building of air power.

Originally, they thought that among the fourth-generation aircraft of the US military, whether it was the F-22 or the F-35, the price of air mass killers was too expensive, and they were ready to start a new one, but they did not expect that what they were doing was not only more expensive, but also less powerful than the ready-made ones of the US military. So in the end, they have to honestly go back and buy the old beautiful things.

It's just that this old American thing is too expensive, and the island side has been hesitant before, sporadically enough, mainly to evaluate and train pilots, until now the fourth-generation aircraft have not yet become an army, this time it was stimulated, and at the expense of the United States, lightning ordered 24 F-22 and 48 F-35, ready to establish an F-22 flight team and an F-35 aviation regiment to strengthen the air power of the western defense area.

In the face of China's sudden sword-style military exercise, it can be said that it has set off a storm among the Asia-Pacific countries, and many forces that were originally ready to move in the South China Sea suddenly found that the Chinese side still held some big cards in their hands and did not show them. Threats, government protests, and concerns about launching a diplomatic offensive cannot hide the intrinsic nature of their panic.

Because the Chinese side showed these two hands, the probability that the master behind them would be willing to stand up for them in a real situation was greatly reduced.

In the case of having a one-sided advantage, the master behind him came out to pull the fight and fight the Taiping Boxing and then obtain huge benefits, which everyone loves to do, but if he really has to shed blood and pay a huge price, then he will definitely think twice, because judging from several collisions between the two sides in history, the masters behind them have bloody lessons.

In the absence of a clear understanding of the bottom line of the Chinese and the inability to ensure victory in the superior weapons that have been piled up through electronic and aviation technology, the US military will not take a huge risk to stand up for those younger brothers who can be abandoned at any time.

Now it seems that the new cards played by the Chinese side will be enough for the Americans to be busy for at least another 2-3 years to figure out the truth.
