Because of Lin Xianhai's non-cooperation, the "upgrade strategy" of the South Island side was not completed in the end.

It is true that they can also find other crew members to come forward, but Lin Xianhai has a high prestige on the ship, no matter what he asks, the crew members are all in one sentence:

"I don't know, if you ask our ship boss, I'm a part-time worker."

After coming and going, the Austronesian Internet Army can be regarded as having a retrospective.

The owners of this ship are basically unable to develop higher use value.

It is impossible to let go, after all, you still have to rely on them to maintain the heat of public opinion.

As a result, the matter of "releasing people" was delayed.

Even if the mainland contacted various forces, and even the leader of another major party personally interceded, it could not change its decision on the authorities.

But at least, the detention conditions of Lin Xianhai and his party have indeed improved, although it is not up to the level of "eating well and sleeping well" as he said, but compared with the previous single cell where it was difficult to even lie down, the situation is much better.

And the reason for such a change is, in the final analysis, related to the operation of the intelligence services.

After determining that it was impossible to reach an agreement to release the "hostages" through conventional means in the short term, Li Xiang directly played the human rights card, put pressure on the Austronesian authorities through several media outlets, and played a hand of magic to defeat magic.

And Nandao did eat this set-—— which can be regarded as a useful idea for the intelligence services.

At this point, the event has basically reached a stalemate, and it is foreseeable that it will continue to be a stalemate for a long time to come.

And in order to break this stalemate, within Huaxia, various departments began to operate.

Among them, the most tense atmosphere is the military.

Fujian, a certain unit of the Nanjing Military Region.

On the big screen in front of them, beacons representing various military units are constantly flashing, and what is being carried out at this moment is an electronic offensive and defensive drill that can be said to be ordinary and rare.

It is said that it is common because this kind of large-scale offensive and defensive drills are not uncommon in military training, and even at the most intensive time, basically every two months, a drill will be organized within the military region, and there will be a competition between military regions in a fixed month every year.

But if it is rare, it is because the objectives of this offensive and defensive drill are extremely clear and "practical".

It will become a reference for the follow-up actions of the entire Nanjing Military Region.

As for the blue side of the drill. It goes without saying.

With all the communication connections checked, the drill officially began.

The commander-in-chief of the red side sat in the middle of the command room and began to issue instructions to the various drill units.

"Attention, at 0:00 in the day, our side began to implement the predetermined battle plan."

"Order: All combat units of the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet will begin to assemble in batches to the operational sea area."

"Location: 124.75 degrees east longitude, 26.9 degrees north latitude, in the sea near Chiwei Island."

"Received, the combat units began to move."

As the commander-in-chief gave the order, a series of specific tactical instructions were quickly split, and immediately after, the various units of the two fleets also drove to the target sea area.

At the same time, the blue side reacted quickly.

The two aircraft carrier fleets departed from bases near the island nation and moved towards the exercise area.

After leaving the port, the two fleets quickly disappeared into the vast sea, leaving the Red side with only a completely unknown threat.

"The aircraft carrier formation of country A has left the port, the course is unknown, and the location is unknown."

The intelligence officer reported the latest situation to the commander-in-chief, and the drill was completely based on actual combat simulation, so it was impossible for the commander-in-chief to obtain information that was impossible to obtain in actual combat from the "God's perspective."

All tactical arrangements, all responses, can only rely on his own experience and judgment.

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke:

"The East China Sea and South China Sea fleets continue to deploy as planned, organizing exercises in the southeast of the South Island."

"Order, No. 01 and No. 02 094-class nuclear-powered submarines maneuver eastward, sail away from the coastline, and enter the deep sea to standby."

"Order, No. 01 and No. 02 032-class submarines maneuver northward, deployment location, 125 degrees east longitude, 32 degrees north latitude, near Tiger Skin Reef."

"At the same time, send a rainbow-9 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to carry out high-altitude reconnaissance in the eastern sea area and obtain the location of local aircraft carrier formations."

In fact, if normal military logic is followed, the two 094s should maneuver as far as possible towards the South China Sea, after all, the sea conditions there are much better than in the east, and the average water depth of 1200 meters is a natural barrier for nuclear submarines.

However, as the commander-in-chief of a war, he could not just consider unilateral conditions.

Under the premise of a large-scale confrontation between the two sides, this sensitive area of the South China Sea will inevitably be covered with the other side's reconnaissance eyes, and blind deployment will only lead to an increase in the risk of exposure, thus losing the biggest strategic card.

Therefore, in this deployment, he chose a more secure plan.

——

In fact, he should also be glad for his decision.

Because according to the deployment of the blue side, one of the two aircraft carrier groups has passed through the Philippines and moved to the edge of the South China Sea, and a large number of sea and air anti-submarine forces have been deployed, the purpose of which is to fish up 094 that may be operating in this sea area.

Once 094 really enters the South China Sea, this exercise can be directly declared to be over with the defeat of the red side.

"It was reported that the high-altitude reconnaissance failed, and no trace of the opposing aircraft carrier formation was found."

Hearing the feedback from the informant, the commander-in-chief's brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

He was vaguely unconvinced:

My 6 Rainbow-9 non-stop scanning, coupled with satellite assistance, can I not get any information when the departure location is known?

This director team is too doggy.

However, for him, it is completely pointless to complain, and all he can do is continue to deploy according to the vision of "total blindness".

"Send Y-8Z to reconnoiter the deployment of N Island and report the location of the main ships on N Island."

"It was reported that Y-8Z encountered air interception over the western waters of Island N, the escort aircraft clashed with the opponent's fighters, the fire control radars illuminated each other, the situation escalated, and the other side entered a state of emergency."

This is a completely new situation again.

The state of emergency means that the countdown to the drill will be brought forward, and if the predetermined objectives cannot be completed within the drill time, the drill will be a negative for the red side.

The commander-in-chief's brows furrowed tightly, and at this moment, he felt extremely strongly the importance of a stealth high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.

The Rainbow-9 is not fully competent for all reconnaissance work, and this kind of thing still has to be carried out by a professional reconnaissance aircraft.

But fortunately, Y-8Z completed the scheduled task, and the deployment of the entire N island was unobstructed in front of him.

The three main fleets and 24 warships of various types on N Island have entered combat positions and are distributed in the eastern and northern waters of N Island, forming a confrontation with the East China Sea and South China Sea fleets.

At the same time, the ground forces on the island have also been assembled in the direction of the coastline, the air force has entered combat readiness, and several F-16s are on alert around the coastline.

After a moment of thought, the commander-in-chief made a new deployment again.

"Order, the 001 aircraft carrier formation will enter the strait to the west, and the H-20 will enter strategic duty, the position of the target airspace, 24 degrees north latitude, 125 degrees east longitude."

This position is the so-called position of the median line of the strait, and once the H-20 enters this position, it means that it is ready for a strategic strike.

Due to the change of events, the red side has also had to accelerate its strategic deployment, compressing the strategic goal originally scheduled to be completed within six months to three months.

In response, Island N has also completed the deployment of new missile systems, and at the same time, the aircraft carrier formation of country A has begun to enter a state of radio silence, and it is almost impossible to find them at this time.

This invisible threat doubled the pressure on the commander-in-chief, and the next step was to implement a sea and air blockade of the entire N island, but under the watchful eye of country A, he deeply felt that his troops were a little stretched.

It is impossible for the East China Sea Fleet, which is used as a shield, to be withdrawn, and the two 055s with the strongest combat effectiveness must also remain in the east and north to deal with possible attacks by the other side.

In this way, the entire southern part can only be defended by the South China Sea Fleet, and the battle will inevitably be extremely fierce against an aircraft carrier fleet that the other side may divide its forces to.

——

But fortunately, in the southern seas, he still has two important chess pieces.

Treasure Island, Fiery Cross Island.

As the largest maritime bases in Xisha and Nansha at present, they have become unsinkable aircraft carriers.

There, he has already deployed dozens of fighters in advance, including more than 10 J-22 and J20 fourth-generation aircraft.

Relying on their performance advantages, these fighters will give the South China Sea Fleet a huge boost and make up for the shortcomings of the lack of aircraft carriers and large destroyers.

Soon, as the exercise progressed, the naval and air blockade gradually took shape, and in the second week after the blockade was completed, the battle officially began.

The first wave of clashes took place over the strait, and according to the director's set, the air force of N Island launched a provocation against the J-10 fighters on routine patrol in our room, and after the fire control radars irradiated each other, the opposing pilots fired an air-to-air missile due to excessive nervousness, resulting in the damage to one of our J-10s.

The Air Force then launched a counterattack, following the J-20B and shooting down two F-16s.

In an instant, all the pre-deployment was moving.

"Begin to carry out landing operations."

With the order of the commander-in-chief, the first wave of the offensive began.

The J-20A took off from an airport in Xiamen, and accompanied by two Rainbow-9 drones equipped with the CHL-1106 electronic warfare system, began to kick the door on N Island.

This was followed by a ground attack sequence consisting of dozens of J-10s and two newly added J-16s.

In just four hours, almost all the air defense positions and radar positions that extend 200 kilometers of coastline to the island have been destroyed, a large number of military airfields that have already been marked have been destroyed, and 80 percent of the air force on Island N has been lost in just one photo.

With such a rapid offensive, even the command headquarters had no way to limit it.

It was not until two hours after the end of the offensive that the aircraft carrier fleet of country A began to react.

Aircraft carrier formations in the south and east appeared and launched the first round of attacks on the East China Sea Fleet and the two main islands, respectively.

Obviously, the USS Washington aircraft carrier formation in the east was targeting the 001 aircraft carrier, but under the barrier of two 055s and several 052Ds of the East China Sea Fleet, their tentacles were fiercely blocked beyond the 125th parallel east longitude.

The cost is dearly.

Due to the overwhelming numerical superiority of the opponent's equipment, the two 055Ds that were far apart were completely unable to form an effective barrier, and several 052Cs of the East China Sea Fleet that were not equipped with the latest Haihongqi air defense system were sunk by name, and one 055D was also damaged and lost its combat effectiveness under the saturation attack, leaving only 3 052Ds and one 055 struggling to support.

At this time, although the losses inflicted by the red side on the Washington aircraft carrier formation of country A were also considerable, the other side quickly turned out its back hand, and the Reagan aircraft carrier formation, which had never appeared since the beginning of the confrontation, supported the Washington formation, and the East China Sea Fleet was defeated one after another, and the battle situation fell into a one-sided dilemma.

It was in such a critical situation that the two 032-class conventional submarines deployed in advance played an important role, causing two Ticonderoga-class cruisers and one Ohio-class nuclear-powered submarine to withdraw from the battlefield in battle.

This was the only "luck" in the whole exercise, but such luck could not turn the tide of the battle.

The two 094-class nuclear submarines are still on hold, and for this final card, the commander-in-chief does not intend to use it before the complete loss of both fleets.

He used another hole card, that is, the Second Artillery DF troops deployed on the coastline and a small number of Treasure Island and Fiery Cross Island.

With the situation in the East at a disadvantage, a DF-21 shot penetrated the splint of the USS Truman aircraft carrier and sent the aircraft carrier to the bottom of the South China Sea.

Subsequently, the South China Sea Fleet quickly maneuvered eastward, and No. 001, which had completed the task of kicking the door and conducting air raids, also rushed to the eastern battlefield at full speed.

The balance of power was re-established, the USS Washington and USS Reagan assembled in formation, and the two sides still formed a confrontation.

At this moment, two weeks have passed since the outbreak of fighting on N Island.

The Army has successfully landed on N Island and started a clean-up mission.

Now, their task is to completely stabilize the overall situation of N Island before the balance of the East China Sea is broken.

This is not an easy task, all the air support they can get comes from the two western islands, and even the H-20s, who were originally involved in the bombing of strategic targets, have been transferred to the southwestern plateau to be on guard.

This is pure army-to-army warfare, and even the strongest army in the world is beyond the reach of the quagmire of urban street fighting.

Especially in the case of a serious shortage of strategic projection capabilities, the speed of heavy equipment entering the field is too slow, and the advance of the battle situation has once again fallen into a whirlpool filled with human lives.

The commander-in-chief's heart ached.

He knew that in this exercise, the soldier was just a cold binary number, and if it was in reality, it would be the departure of a fresh life.

But fortunately, the opponent's military background is not deep, coupled with the introduction of a small amount of the advantage of early intelligence warfare, part of the production capacity of the opponent's industrial sector was destroyed, and after a stalemate of three weeks, the balance was finally broken, and then within a week, the landing combat force was like a bamboo, and finally took the main cities in the whole territory.

But that's not the end of it.

It's just one." opportunity".

A comprehensive strategy also means an all-out attack by country A.

The long-lost 094 finally surfaced, and the last H-20 appeared over the Kadena base, and the ultimate deterrence was achieved.

The director decided that Red won.

This victory was tragic, and the fleets in the East China Sea and the South China Sea were almost empty, and in the later stage, they were completely close to the sea and relied on the Second Artillery Corps and the air force to support it.

And because the cooperation between the sea and the air failed, they had to surface higher battle losses in order to maintain the shaky standoff.

The Air Force, which had finally taken shape, lost 7 percent in 6 weeks.

——

But the good news is that the losses of the fourth-generation aircraft are minimal, and it is these fourth-generation aircraft that have become the final pillars

After seeing the results, the commander-in-chief sighed deeply.

Pyrrhic victory.

Such a victory is definitely not the result he wants.

The various problems exposed during the drill must also be resolved in the shortest possible time
