Chapter 291: Awarded the Order of Liberation of the Third Class
200 nautical miles basically means that the aircraft carrier has retreated beyond the Taiwan Strait, although the United States still says that it will not sit idly by and watch Taiwan be attacked by the mainland, act in accordance with the law on relations with Taiwan, and provide military and material assistance to Taiwan.
The Chinese side quickly understood what the United States meant, because in the Taiwan Relations Act, Taiwan only refers to the island of Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, and the islands under Taiwan's actual jurisdiction such as Kinmen, Wuqiu, Matsu, Dongyin, Dongsha Islands, and Nansha Islands are not included.
For a while, the skies over the Taiwan Strait were filled with dense flights, either in formation or in the form of longitudinal attacks, and after Taiwan tried several times and failed to get a bargain, it immediately withdrew its military forces on these islands to the island of Taiwan, which is tantamount to abandoning these islands.
The Chinese side quickly stated that these islands are only subject to sovereignty or military occupation for the time being, that the governing power is left to the local people's own decision, and that they are free to stay or go, but many people have returned to Taiwan like crazy, and the Chinese side has provided convenience for them, with one-third to one-half of the people leaving in most areas, and half of those who remain have expressed their support for returning to the mainland and are willing to accept the mainland's political system and leadership.
This is because these people are ordinary people, and they don't care about what is boiled and free, and it is good to be able to eat a full stomach, and it is not the same for anyone to care, and the mainland's policy towards these remote islands has always been very good, while the Taiwan side has always treated these islands as outcasts, so naturally there is no good treatment.
However, in this way, the situation on these islands is very stable, which disappoints many organizations that want to find an excuse to interfere, and at the same time, the Chinese side has expressed its willingness to discount the property left behind by those who have left, and it is also possible to implement remote management, and it is also possible to recognize the ownership of the property, and some people have also returned here.
At the same time, in addition to being nervous and flustered at the beginning, Taiwan businessmen on the mainland soon found that the mainland did not do anything to them, and there was no frightening confiscation of property and personal restrictions, and business was still done as usual, and the back and forth were very free, and it was necessary to transfer flights through Hong Kong to go back and forth, and this is still the case, and after the Taiwan side also advocated for a while, they found that the international community did not react, and the people did not react except for panic at the beginning, except for a small number of people who were still marching and protesting. Most people have returned to their normal lives.
The difference is that no one can believe the military's argument that "everything is under control" advocated by the military, and in addition to missiles, the mainland has not been able to confront planes, and although we can buy advanced planes, they will produce them themselves, and it is said that when all the planes on the mainland side are flying, they can cover the entire strait, and people can even step on the planes.
And what's even more terrifying is that China has mastered an advanced weapon that even the United States can't do, a mecha weapon similar to science fiction, and Taiwan later dispatched Mirage 2000 and helicopters, but without exception, they are not the opponents of these strange guys.
The reason why the US aircraft carrier battle group retreated, in addition to the factor of submarines, could not stand the harassment of Thor is also a very important aspect, especially the slow speed of Thor, after the distance was opened, Thor did not dispatch so frequently, otherwise it would have been insufficient for the aircraft carrier battle group to turn back and bring supplies back to the base without returning to the base.
Of course, the ultimate factor in determining this matter is that China's strategic nuclear submarines break through the encirclement of the first island chain and appear in the eastern Pacific Ocean, which is what the United States is most afraid of, why the United States is laying a sonar network that is more expensive than gold from the island chain to Taiwan, and then to the Philippines, is to block the presence of China's strategic nuclear submarines, because in addition to these, China has very few weapons that can threaten the mainland of the United States, even if the Dongfeng-5 strategic intercontinental missile with a range of more than 10,000 kilometers can attack the United States. However, taking off from the Chinese mainland to the United States has given the United States enough warning time, and only this kind of nuclear submarine can dive to a close place and launch and attack the United States mainland in a few minutes, which the Americans cannot afford.
No matter what level of allies it is for, the United States will not take such a risk, not to mention that Taiwan is not even an ally, it can only be said that it is a junior brother who is a follower, and it is still nominally a family member, and this is also where many Taiwanese people are disappointed, it turns out that it is useless to rely on anyone, and no one will risk nuclear war to help Taiwan.
In particular, the conflict has only lasted for more than a month, and Taiwan's prices have skyrocketed, the stock market has plummeted, and all kinds of chaotic incidents have emerged one after another.
However, China also knows that the rabbit will bite people if it is in a hurry, and it will be a bit more than worth the loss to attack Taiwan itself, even if the United States does not intervene, relying on Taiwan's current strength alone, it will suffer heavy losses if it wants to take it, not to mention the lack of strategic transportation forces, and it is simply impossible to transport troops to the past, which is the biggest weakness at present.
The Y-8 is already the largest transport aircraft with the largest capacity, and it can only transport the strength of one company at a time, and according to the test of the General Staff, if you want to establish a solid position and take an airport and port, you need at least 40,000 troops, and it is also a force with heavy equipment.
Therefore, after occupying these islands, the Chinese side stopped its offensive and focused all its efforts on stabilizing the existing situation.
In particular, the technicians of the Mikoyan Design Bureau and Topaz Company have been transforming Thor on the spot, adjusting the above data parameters according to the performance on the battlefield, or war is the biggest driving force for technological development, in just one month, the Su version of Thor surname can be greatly improved, except for some precision items are not as good as the original Thor, most aspects have surpassed the original Thor.
In particular, in the coordination of supporting radars and missiles, it always gives priority to discovering the enemy's enemy planes, launches missiles one step ahead of the enemy, and uses short-range air-to-air missiles to achieve a close-range version of the over-the-horizon attack capability, and Thor has also achieved brilliant results because of this, even better than the performance of the Su-27 and Jian-10 Plus.
Su Ming was also summoned back to China because of this, accepted the summons of Hua Lao, and the meeting was attended by Li Qinghua and the two vice chairmen of the Military Commission, in addition to paying Thor's money to Su Ming, Hua Ziqing solemnly handed over a box to Su Ming.
Su Ming opened the box and saw that a golden medal was lying on top of the red flannel, the center of the medal was a bright red star above, and below was a [***] with golden light, Su Ming reached out and picked it up and checked the weight habitually, it was so heavy, it was estimated to be pure gold.
"Hehe, this is a third-class liberation medal, it was only issued twice in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is for the cause of the Chinese people's revolution and the establishment of the People's Republic of China, it is only for those who have made outstanding merits, considering your identity and the contributions you have made, it is not necessary for you to give you other treatment, so with the approval of the Central Committee, this third-class liberation medal was awarded to you, which should have been awarded to you by the chairman, because the chairman is very busy, so I awarded it to you on behalf of the chairman, considering your status, This award ceremony is also not public, and a few of us will be awarded it to you as witnesses, hoping that you will cherish the value of this medal and make greater contributions to the country in the future. ”
Su Ming solemnly put it away, and then closed the box, this kind of medal is not often issued by the country, this time it can be taken out, it is estimated that there is also a debate, but the war against Taiwan is also a war of liberation, and it can be said that this kind of medal can be awarded, but Su Ming still has to be polite: "I am ashamed, my contribution to the country is far from this medal, I will continue to work hard." ”
"In fact, this medal is not awarded to you mainly for Thor, Thor was bought back by the state according to the price, although the effect is very outstanding, and the rapid formation of combat effectiveness of our two new fighters is also completed with your help, but mainly considering your contributions in other aspects, especially in terms of CNC machine tools and special materials, the overall progress of our defense industry has been promoted, and the reason why the submarine was able to approach each other and break through the first island chain was after adopting a new type of processing technology, The noise control of submarines has made great progress, and the United States did not expect that our progress would be so great, so our submarines have achieved such good results, and this is the main reason why the medal is awarded to you, because it is with your help that our defense industry has entered the ranks of modernization, and great progress has been made in all aspects and fields, thanks to your contributions to the country. ”
Su Ming said that he was surging with blood, his heart was boiling, and he couldn't contribute everything, and finally he was willing to pay attention to my role, Su Ming felt that his biggest contribution to the country was to push the country's processing capacity to the level of at least 20 years, but unfortunately he had made so many contributions to no one admitted, and he had to chirp crookedly with himself on the price of the machine tool, which made him sad, and now with this medal, who dares to bargain with himself again, he will smash him with the medal.
