Chapter 314 Treat it as military training
On July 1, the Ryukyu waters were in the open sea areas outside the first island chain.
The aircraft carrier formation of No. 002 has approached the Regis, and the Reagan formation is less than 200 nautical miles. However, the other party has never intended to retreat. Instead, it monitors the movements of the 002 formation through an early warning aircraft and maintains an interception of the formation's scheduled course.
If the current speed of the 002 fleet is followed, in about 10 hours, the three aircraft carrier fleets will hit each other with their faces.
He Kangmei stood in the command room with a serious face. The radar screen showed the ugly country fighter jets that had entered the radar range. His own fighter jets had already taken off the air and performed routine alert and expulsion missions.
"Did the other party's intentions be clear? What exactly do they want to do? Are they planning to attack us, or are they just going to disgust us?"
Chen Liguo, the chief intelligence officer on the side, shook his head slightly and replied:
"It's hard to judge at the moment. Based on the information we have at hand, the probability of disgusting us is relatively high. But the problem is that they use this method to disgusting us and trigger local conflicts. We cannot guarantee that we can really step outside that bottom line so accurately - similarly, they cannot do it."
"So, our basic principle is to remain vigilant. All combat units are ready, and other support forces within the first island chain are also coming. The No. 001 team will arrive at the reservation position in 4 hours and stand by outside the other party's alert range. If something happens to us, they will immediately launch support from a long distance."
"In addition, the land positions are all ready and the targets are locked, but we will not take action unless we have to."
"The only one who has been exposed to the other side is the Stanis formation. We are still looking for the location of the other two formations. The location has not been determined yet, but the satellite has been mobilized. We can complete the positioning in at most two hours."
Hearing this, He Kangmei's originally serious face showed some doubts.
"So what does the other party mean? This kind of action is too inconsistent with military common sense. If you say they want to fight, I will never believe it. Put the aircraft carrier under the nose of our first island chain. If it really starts, will they come to deliver the express?"
"But if we don't fight, what's going on? We just want to use the deterrence to rub our spirits? What are we doing? Are we afraid of them?"
Chen Liguo thought silently for a moment and answered:
"In my opinion, this is probably a psychological game for them."
"We are far from the military field, there are so many recent events that have been unfavorable to them. From energy, to currency, to aviation, we have continuously emerged in almost every field. Their technological leadership is gradually losing, and international prestige is also beginning to decline significantly."
"No, it cannot be said to be a significant decline, it should be said to be a cliff-like decline."
"So, they urgently need an opportunity to re-enhance their prestige--the food has already taken action, and the military has not dared to do it, so they use this method to kidnap us and let us accompany them to perform this drama."
He Kangmei shook her head slightly and continued to ask:
"They aren't afraid that we will do it?"
"We can't do it! This is actually very clear. We cannot work with them at the critical moment of explosive technological development. This is not a good choice in any case."
"This may be a bit frustrating, but it is definitely the best choice in the long run."
"In fact, even if we completely admit defeat in this confrontation, it will not have much adverse impact on us. However, they can take the opportunity to restore some of their international reputation and regain some of their status."
"So in their opinion, this is actually a win-win game--the premise is that we admit defeat."
"It is based on this that they dare to do this because we have always been too rational, and they take it for granted that we will still make rational choices this time."
Hearing this, He Kangmei sighed deeply.
Yes, our navy is a typical purely rational army decided by collectively. Such an army has extremely strong combat power and is not difficult to command, but the only problem is that at some point, the deterrence power is insufficient.
Because your enemies know that you will not take action without breaking through the bottom line.
This is the case now. Has the opponent broken through the bottom line?
No.
The seas near the first island chain are all high seas. They even left a certain strait far away and did not appear in any sensitive area. The purpose is only one: to hate you once without touching the core interests.
And we can't really take action.
It would be great if the return trip was escorted by the Xiong Da formation. If something really happened, they would really dare to beat it up.
Thinking of this, He Kangmei spoke:
"So the situation is very clear at the moment. We can't do it. They dare not do it. It's like driving a fu-kill car on the road. He just stopped us and deliberately stepped on the brakes, and we had to go forward."
"It's really troublesome...what is the carrier-based aircraft? Is there any problem?"
Chen Liguo glanced at the carrier-based aircraft wing commander beside him, and the latter took a step forward and answered:
"There is no problem at the moment. They are all normal flight-flying drive away. They don't have weapons, and we don't have weapons, but the intensity is getting higher and higher now. Their takeoff waves are faster than us, so we can't keep up."
“Can you still maintain basic expulsion?”
"This is OK. Lao He, don't worry too much. So far, nausea is disgusting, but they are very law-abiding and there is no sign of escalation of conflict."
"That's good."
He Kangmei nodded slightly and then added:
"Don't pass this information to the lower level. No matter what the actual situation is, we will still regard this as a training."
"clear!"
After finishing the short steps, He Kangmei walked to the open-air command post of the bridge and looked at one fighter jet after another on the deck, and fell into deep thought.
That's right, neither side had the intention to take action during this confrontation, and there was absolutely no information difference in this regard.
However, in such a high-intensity aerial confrontation, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents.
And as long as an accident occurs, it will definitely become the fuse of some major events.
----Unless there is a heavier and colder deterrence that falls from the sky and pours on their heads, making them have to calm down even when facing accidents.
Where is such a deterrent?
nuclear?
That is absolutely impossible, things have not yet developed to this point.
submarine?
The other party is already prepared, and if those forces are really deployed, it is actually not much different from the nuclear power.
The situation has become increasingly anxious.
A large number of fighter jets flew past at low altitude, and the heat waves of the engines on the deck have even refracted and distorted the entire overtime air.
All ships have entered the highest level of alert, and only the submarines underwater remain silent as always.
They must not participate in this confrontation.
This is the tacit understanding between the two sides.
Because once they appear, it means that this tacit understanding between the enemy and us will uncontrollably slide in another direction.
The current time is 10 a.m. on July 1, and it has been more than 6 hours since the two sides officially started the confrontation.
Just as He Kangmei was thinking about the possible strategy to her superiors, she called him back to the command room by phone.
On the other end of the phone, his superior said in an understatement:
"The situation has been confirmed, don't worry, we have made all preparations."
"Just follow the normal eviction process. As for any accidents during the process, we will provide a guarantee."
"Don't worry, they dare not jump."
"We will give them a reason that we absolutely cannot refuse."
