Chapter 449: Bright Sword
Updated: 2012-09-12
The Global Hawk incident, which caused stormy waves at the top of the domestic military, was almost no movement in the outside world. The eyes of military observers of major media were all focused on the military exercises that China suddenly announced high-profile. The 8,000-kilometer designated temporary restricted area has triggered countless reliable and unreliable speculations among major media around the world.
The Global Hawk, which was deceived by Duke, was secretly transported to the mainland's confidential research institution after being dismantled, and completely disappeared intovisible.
It was not until this time that the few insiders were completely relieved because the fat piece of meat delivered to their mouths was really eaten.
Faced with the unresponsive US military, the senior officials judged that they should have no doubts about our army. It was not the first time that the Global Hawk had an accident. Several serious accidents had occurred before, including tragedies such as crashes. So everyone judged that most of the US military would end this matter in the form of unknown serious accidents.
A few days later, when the military exercise officially revealed the answer, the news of military exercises from CCTV surprised the outside world. A new ballistic missile that had never appeared 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 limit range can reach at least 14,000 kilometers to 16,000 kilometers. This range shows that this is a strike force that can cover most parts of the United States.
If this speculative range is enough to make the US military highly nervous, then what happened in the final stage of the missile captured on the US military’s military satellite made the US military even more frightened. As many as 16 sub-guided warheads made the reliable anti-missile system that the US military has always relied on to become an extremely unreliable decoration at once.
Moreover, the Chinese side deliberately displayed the bridge part of a brand new submarine. Judging from the interpretation of the US military, this is a typical way to brighten muscles. However, the bad thing is that there is basically no information about this new submarine before.
From the vaguely displayed bridge, it is speculated that this submarine is quite different from the ones announced before, and it is speculated that the size will not be smaller than any of the submarines announced before. From these situations, this is undoubtedly a nuclear submarine with long-term submarine capabilities.
It can launch strategic missiles, but not 094, so this is most likely the legendary 096. According to Chinese practice, such submarines are usually built in pairs, one with a veil exposed, and the other must be lurking quietly in the depths of the ocean. However, the US military's reconnaissance system did not respond at all this time. This shows that China's strict protection measures are also unique in technology.
It seems that in order to test the limits of the US military's endurance, the next DF-21e hit a retired frigate target ship operating in a high-speed state after cruising 1,000 kilometers away, which made the U.S. Navy personnel take a breath. Although it is possible that the Chinese side preset the route of the frigate is among the designated targets of the missile, even so, there are still huge technical differences between being able to hit a high-speed moving target and hit a stationary target.
Because this means that within at least 1,000 kilometers, the Chinese side has the ability to attack any large ship.
For the US military's fleet of aircraft carriers in the Western Pacific, this is a real fatal threat. Compared with the strategic missiles launched by mysterious submarines, which are usually under the box, the threat of the conventional weapon of the DF-21e is more realistic, because strategic missiles cannot be used casually, even if China has a small-scale conflict with the US.
But things like df-21e are different. When the two sides conflict and get fire, they will use them if they say they are used.
Before clarifying China's strategic intentions and the performance parameters of the military exercise weapon, the US military suspended the launch of the aircraft carrier into so-called hot spots that may have conflicts with China. If a Global Hawk is lost, it will be a pain in the heart as long as it does not fall into China's hands, but if a plane carrier is lost, it will not be as simple as a pain in the heart.
The high-profile demonstration of the timing of this military exercise was completely unexpected, and two new killer weapons were used in the exercise. This sudden sword-drawing action scared the surrounding countries inexplicably, especially the island country with increasingly arrogant arrogance, which was followed up and reported in succession. The major events exaggerated the threat of China is no longer a legend, but a real reality, calling on the government to re-examine its arms plan.
Facing China's DF-21e, even if the islanders claim to be superior to others, they will become less reliable in an instant.
In the instant of losing maritime advantage, the island country judged that in the future conflict with China, it was mainly a confrontation of sea and air strength, and the navy's expansion cycle was too long, so the people on the island can only accelerate the construction of air power.
Originally, they thought that among the fourth-generation US military aircraft, both the F-22 and F-35, the air killer were too expensive, and they were ready to start a new job, but they did not expect that the things they made were not only more expensive, but their performance was not as good as those of the US military. So they had to go back honestly and buy things from the US.
But this American thing is too expensive. The island side has been hesitating before, and there are enough sporadic things, mainly to evaluate and train pilots. Until now, the fourth-generation aircraft has not yet formed a military force. Now, it was stimulated and ordered 24 F-22s and 48 F-35s from the US side at all costs, preparing to establish an F-22 flight team and an F-35 aviation regiment to strengthen the air force in the western defense zone.
Faced with China's sudden sword-like military exercise, it can be said that it caused a storm among the Asia-Pacific countries. Many forces that were originally ready to move in the South China Sea suddenly discovered that they were still holding some big cards in the hands of China but did not show it out. After this time, they immediately started to start a public opinion criticizing, exaggerating China's threat, or the government protests, and paying attention to launching diplomatic offensives, they could not hide their panic-like nature.
Because China showed these two moves, the probability that the master behind them would stand up for them when something really happened is greatly reduced.
With one-sided advantage, the master behind him came out to fight and fight Taiping Fist and gained huge benefits. Everyone likes to do this, but if he really wants to bleed and pay a huge price, he will definitely think twice before doing it, because judging from the several collisions between the two sides in history, their master behind him has learned bloody lessons.
Without understanding the bottom line of the Chinese and unable to ensure victory through the superior weapons accumulated through electronic technology and aviation technology, the US military will not take huge risks to stand out for those younger brothers who can be abandoned at any time.
Now it seems that the new trump card China has played is at least enough for the Americans to spend 2-3 years to find out the truth.
