. "What's the matter? In your eyes, there should be nothing big, right?" Ou Youhupei asked in surprise.

"Of course there is nothing big about business. This time it is a violent collision between China and the United States," Fan Wubing replied.

"What?" Ouyang Xiaowei didn't understand for a moment and was stunned for a moment.

Fan Wubing stood up, put his clothes on his arm, then pulled Ouyang Xiaowei up, threw the money down to pay the bill, and then the two of them walked out and explained to Ouyang Xiaowei, "The US reconnaissance plane invaded China's volley and collided with the Chinese fighter jet that was taken off the air surveillance.

"Ah!?" Ouyang Xiaowei was indeed shocked by the news.

Probably, since the embassy was bombed last year, the relationship between China and the United States has been relatively bad. Although both sides have maintained a relatively restrained attitude, what consequences will another collision lead to? No one can tell clearly.

Fan Wubing and Ouyang Xiaowei quickly rushed to the Ministry of National Defense. After coming over, they found that the side was under high alert. After the two of them were examined, Ouyang Xiaowei was left in the reception room. Only Fan Wubing entered the directors' conference room.

At this time, the atmosphere in the conference room was also quite tense. The images sent by satellites can clearly see the American reconnaissance aircraft that had landed at the Hainan Lingshui Military Airport.

Seeing Fan Wubing come, a combat staff officer briefly introduced some of the things he had just had.

In the morning, a US 43 military reconnaissance aircraft flew over the southeastern waters of Hainan Island in my country to move. Two J-8 fighters of our Air Force took off immediately to track and monitor them.

At 9:07, just as our military aircraft was flying normally 104 kilometers southeast of Hainan Island, the US reconnaissance aircraft violated the flight rules and suddenly turned at a high angle, hitting a military aircraft on our side, causing the aircraft to lose control and fall into the sea and the pilot to disappear. The damaged US aircraft entered my country's airspace without permission and landed at the Hainan Lingshui Military Airport.

The Zhaokou aircraft that participated in the battle was a dual-mission fighter aircraft exhibited and produced by Shenyang Aircraft Research Institute and China Shenyang Aircraft Industrial Group on the basis of its reputation. It mainly uses national air defense, interception, seize air supremacy, maintain air superiority, and ground attacks.

Based on the name, the aircraft has redesigned some of the fuselages, adopting air intakes on both sides, increasing the space for installing avionics equipment, and improving the fire control system, weapon system, airborne electronic equipment and power system. It has replaced the motive with more power, making the aircraft have good medium and low altitude combat capabilities and all-weather attack capabilities, and the main airborne equipment instrument landing system, radio compass, radar altimeter, autopilot, etc.

The weapon has a flying mm dual-barrel cannon, which can be equipped with infrared air-to-air missiles under the wings, medium-range semi-active radar-guided air-to-air missiles, as well as rockets and bombs, and the maximum flat flew can reach Mach 2.2.

But Fan Wubing was also a little surprised. Why did he call himself to attend such a thing?

While wondering, the Secretary of Defense, who was rushing over, began to speak, "This is an American conscious collision incident! Suddenly, what do you think?"

"The skydiving pilot should be rescued immediately, and the damaged American reconnaissance aircraft and crew should be controlled at the same time!" someone immediately suggested.

"Will it arouse opposition from the Americans and cause trouble? It should be better to use the National Yuan-dedicated line to contact us before determining the handling method?" This is the opinion of a relatively moderate military force.

After listening to the brief introduction, Fan Wubing immediately realized that this was a major and sensitive surprise. It was said that it was important and sensitive because it was a direct friction between the two armies of China and the United States under the new international situation after the Cold War, and caused serious consequences of plane damage and personnel disappearance.

In particular, this incident also involves major principles such as national sovereignty, territorial integrity and national dignity. It is very complicated and it is by no means easy to deal with it properly.

It seems that this is an accidental event, but it is inevitable.

Since the founding of New China, the United States has never interrupted its reconnaissance flight on my country's coast. Since the second half of last year, the reconnaissance activities of US military aircraft have become more frequent and are getting closer to our territorial waters. The domestic government has repeatedly negotiated with the United States through various channels, demanding that such reconnaissance activities be stopped, but they turn a blind eye to it. They still do their own thing.

This time, I finally ran into the front.

The climate of Sino-US relations at this time was very special. During the Clinton administration, China and the United States had fought several times, and the relationship between the two countries finally entered a rising stage. Therefore, the domestic government also hopes that after Bush Jr. takes office as US president, Sino-US relations will also have a better development, because his father has a deep understanding of China and he has been to China himself.

But at the beginning of his career, Bush began to adjust the foreign policy of the Clinton administration, and his policy toward China also showed strong use of Xu Xiangliu. In the TV debate of the election a few months ago, Bush once compromised and repositioned the US-China relationship. He emphasized that the United States and China should not be a strategic partnership, but a strategic competitive relationship.

From a diplomatic perspective, the meaning of strategic competition is completely different from that of strategic partners. The former even has a certain sense of opposition. Bush Jr.'s statement means that the United States regards China more as a competitor than a partner. If this argument eventually becomes the US government's policy toward China, it will have an adverse impact on Sino-US relations, which is a concern.

Internationally, Sino-US relations are a very important bilateral relationship. This is true for China and the United States, and the whole world. Therefore, the domestic government has been communicating with the new US government to promote Bush Jr. and his new team to correctly understand Sino-US relations and formulate positive and pragmatic policies toward China to facilitate the health and stable development of bilateral relations.

At the end of last year, Bush Jr. was elected the forty-third president of the United States.

On that day, Chief No. 1 sent him a congratulatory message as usual.

Shortly after President Bush took office in February this year, he quickly wrote a letter to Chief No. 1, which had a positive attitude. He expressed that the US was willing to strengthen dialogue and cooperation with China and handle differences in mutual respect and honesty.

The No. 1 immediately replied to the letter and expressed his congratulations to George W. Bush on his takeover as the US President, praising him for his positive attitude towards the development of bilateral relations in the letter, and expressed his hope to work with him to promote the healthy, stable and sustainable development of Sino-US relations in the new century.

At the end of March, Vice Premier Qian was invited to visit the United States and had direct contact with senior executives of the new US government. President Bush met with Vice Premier Qian and said in person that the United States attaches importance to US-China relations. He said that he himself was looking forward to going to Shanghai in October to attend the APEC leaders’ informal meeting and formally visiting China.

Vice Premier Qian's visit has achieved positive results, and the atmosphere in Sino-US relations has eased.

Against this background, the collision incident suddenly came, and it seems that Sino-US relations will face another severe test.

There were not many people in the conference room, all of them were senior generals. The Minister of National Defense glanced at Fan Wubing and said, "Everyone has a different opinion! The elder said before his death. Mr. Fan has a view of the overall situation and a broad vision. Do you have any good suggestions?"

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes focused on Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing scratched his head a little. It was a bit reluctant to let him come forward. The most important thing was not anything else, but that he had too many industries in the United States. If he got angry, there would be no benefit at all. However, as a Chinese, Xuan could not make any other mistakes at this time.

So Fan Wubing nodded and was not polite. "Let's not talk about saving people. The most urgent task is to occupy the commanding heights in public opinion and make the story of this matter public! Secondly, it is to organize forces, attack the plane, control the crew, and organize important parts and information of the plane as soon as possible. Since the plane has hit, we have no choice. Now the other party has landed on our ground. Of course, we cannot let them go easily. In addition to humanely treating the crew members, we can immediately mobilize experts to carry out the most important research room for the plane."

Seeing that some people were not convinced, Fan Wubing emphasized, "Americans are the best at playing with public opinion. Even if we don't publish this news, we are worried that it will affect the public sentiment and it is difficult to control it, and the other party will exaggerate it in the media and the Internet. So whoever grabs the initiative will take the initiative and whoever can make a statement in future negotiations! As for the advanced equipment on the plane, when the other party shows that we have signs of snatching control of the plane, they will definitely do everything possible to destroy it. Therefore, the assault must be quick, so that they don't have time to destroy it! At the same time, the life of the crew must be recorded. Go out through various channels, leaving Americans speechless in the face of world public opinion!"

After Fan Wu's words were finished, he won the approval of most generals. The Minister of Defense also attached great importance to Fan Wubing's opinions. After talking to Chief No. 1, he said, "The Chief basically agreed to deal with it according to General Fan's words, and assaulted the plane first and controlled the other crew members!"

The next thing had nothing to do with Fan Wubing. Everyone who was supposed to work went to arrange work. Fan Wubing saw that he had no business with him, so he greeted the staff officer on duty, then went back to find Ouyang Xiaowei, and the two left together.

Until the afternoon, he received an emergency call from Boss Zhu, calling him to go over and study Shi Ce together.
