Chapter 65 Official declaration of war
On the 23rd of the month, Beijing time at 130...
It was Saturday, and most of the Republic’s citizens who had worked hard for a week had just gotten up from bed. Some were preparing for breakfast, some were exercising, some were preparing for travel, and some were basking in the sun on the balcony. It was not until the loud national anthem sounded in various cities that 100 million Republican citizens realized that something major had happened. As before, most people’s first reaction was to turn on the TV and transfer it to the Central News Channel of the State Television Station.
When they saw Wang Yuanqing, the head of state who appeared on the TV screen, almost all citizens knew that the country was in big trouble.
In fact, as early as the end of September, most citizens of the Republic discovered that the country's policies had made major adjustments and that the Republic was preparing for the war.
Ready to declare war on India?
This is too much of a problem: That’s it!
The vast majority of the citizens of the Republic have nowhere to find the southern Tibet region where the Republic and India are disputed on the map. They have never heard of the place called Dawang, and they cannot even figure out how many territories the Republic and India have not been clearly divided. For the vast majority of the citizens of the Republic, the southern Tibet region is out of reach. Some even think that Medog is the territory of the Republic south of the Himalayas.
In the past, the Republic would not declare war on India if it sent troops to recover southern Tibet.
The reason is simple. Declaration of war means that the country enters a state of war and all citizens will be affected. After declaring war, the Republic will be in a state of war with the enemy, and the war will not end until one side is defeated. In order to avoid expanding the scale of the war, the Republic often launches military actions without declaring war, thereby gaining practical benefits in the name of "border conflict" or "regional conflict".
This is also an unwritten rule in the international community.
Back then, the country brazenly sent troops to attack Iran without declaring war on the Iranian government.
As long as it is not a life-and-death struggle, there is no need to start a war in the form of declaring war.
In the eyes of most citizens of the Republic, the leaders of the state have no reason to declare war on India. To this day, India is not only the fifth largest trading partner of the Republic, but also the important place for commodities to be imported. For most citizens of the Republic, their daily lives are no longer related to India. Not to mention other things, the people need to import from India in their clothes, shoes, land, tableware, and chopsticks. Every year, the Republic also exports a large number of high-end products to India. At least millions of citizens of the Republic have obtained job opportunities.
Is it necessary for the country to completely turn against India?
The citizens' concerns were resolved soon because Wang Yuanqing's announcement of the news had nothing to do with India.
"...At the early morning of this day, at the invitation of the leaders of the Taiwan authorities, our officers and soldiers from the Taiwan military were captured more than 400 Japanese officers and soldiers at the Taipei International Airport. They also killed more than 900 Japanese officers and soldiers in the battle, and destroyed several transport planes transporting Japanese officers and soldiers.
With ironclad evidence, Japan brazenly sent troops to invade our country, and the revived Japanese militarists tried to split our country again and occupy Taiwan's treasure island..."
Shocking shock!
At first, almost no one believed the news released by the head of state. It was not until the anger of the Japanese soldiers escorted by the Republic's airborne soldiers appeared on the TV screen, suppressing the hearts of the people of the Republic.
More than 00 years ago, Japan occupied Taiwan and enslaved Taiwan for nearly half a century!
It was a history that the descendants of Yan and Huang could not bear to look back on, and it was a history of shame for the Chinese nation!
"...A hundred years ago, we used more than ten years to resist Japan's invasion with the lives of 30 million compatriots and the blood of 40 million compatriots. History cannot be repeated, nor will it be repeated. Japan's desire to perish me will not die, and the Chinese nation will never have peace. Here, on behalf of the central government of the Republic, I call on the military and civilians across the country to cast plows into swords, and uphold the will of our ancestors to launch a war of aggression. Under the authorization of the All Congress, I hereby declare that the whole country will enter a state of war. From now on, the Republic and Japan will enter a state of war!"
The declaration of war is so short that it is unbelievable.
The war broke out!
After a brief calm, bright red flags floated across the Republic. It was a flag dyed red with the blood of martyrs. It was a flag symbolizing the history of the blood and tears of the Chinese nation.
When college students in Beijing began organizing a parade, Wang Yuanqing left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
As the head of state, in addition to being responsible for strategic command, Wang Yuanqing also had to be responsible for administrative affairs during Premier Zong Yingren's visit to Moscow. Fortunately, Wang Yuanqing was originally an administrative background and had much better ability to handle government affairs than his predecessor Zhao Rundong.
After contacting Zong Yingren, Wang Yuanqing first rushed to the General Staff.
War has been declared on Japan, and the strike operations of the Air Force will be launched quickly. In any case, Japan must eliminate its strategic counterattack capabilities before it reacts. More importantly, if Japan decides to launch a strategic strike after the war begins, the "Strategic Defense Command Center" affiliated to the General Staff must be prepared for interception.
When he arrived at the General Staff Department, Wang Yuanqing directly found Xiang Yinghui.
"The combat order has been issued. The combat aircraft participating in the first round of strike operations have reached the attack airspace, and the first missile will hit the target within ten minutes."
"Conducted by Zhang Zhongxian
Xiang Yinghui nodded and said, "Zhang Zhongxian personally directed the attack, and the Air Force has fully mobilized."
"Very good, I believe in the Air Force's combat capabilities."
"Japan will react as soon as possible, but it is too late to take off the combat aircraft again at this time."
"We must be wary of Japan's strategic counterattack." When we arrived at Xiang Yinghui's office, Wang Yuanqing stopped. "After declaring war, Japan must know that we had sunk three of its strategic nuclear submarines. Before there is enough evidence, we must consider the possibility of Japan using strategic ballistic missiles to counterattack."
"I have ordered the strategic defense forces to enter combat state ww w., but I don't think it's possible."
"Impossible?" Wang Yuanqing glanced at Xiang Yinghui and sat on the sofa.
"Murakami Satoshi is not an idiot. Japan's nuclear weapons, we have more nuclear weapons. According to the unwritten rules among nuclear powers, as long as Japan's strategic ballistic missiles take off, they will fight back before the missile falls." Xiang Yinghui sat on the sofa opposite Wang Yuanqing. "Japan's strategic ballistic missiles are almost impossible to break through our defense system, and our strategic ballistic missiles can easily destroy all Japanese cities and put an end to the history of the Yamato nation. As long as Murakami Satoshi is not a lunatic, he will not use nuclear weapons first."
"Murakami Sasaki is not a lunatic, but Japanese soldiers are all lunatics."
Xiang Yinghui frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the head of state.
"When I was formulating a strategic plan, I said that as long as the war breaks out, Satoshi Murakami will lose control." Wang Yuanqing took out a cigarette and lit a cigarette for Xiang Yinghui, saying, "Before this, Satoshi Murakami could still control the Japanese army, making the Japanese soldiers believe that war will not bring any benefits to Japan or prevent Japanese soldiers from promoting the war in other ways. Now war is inevitable, Japan either responds with all its might or takes the initiative to bet on peace. Will Japanese soldiers take the initiative to bet on peace? Do not shed tears without seeing the coffin! Japan will never surrender until it is completely defeated. As long as the Japanese soldiers insist on responding with all their might, they will put pressure on Satoshi Murakami and ask the Prime Minister to issue an order to launch a strategic counterattack."
Xiang Ying took two puffs of cigarettes and said nothing.
At this time, Li Cunxun rushed over.
"Japan's slightly ballistic missile forces entered combat an hour ago."
"Have you launched a missile?" Wang Yuanqing immediately frowned.
"No, the strategic early warning system did not find missiles flying towards our country." Li Cunxun received the cigarette handed by the head of state. "In my guess, Sasaki Murakami must have been influenced by the army and issued an order to prepare for a strategic counterattack, but the order to launch the missile was not issued. Of course, it is hard to say whether Sasaki Murakami would take this step.
”
Wang Yuanqing nodded and looked at Xiang Yinghui.
The Chief of Staff walked to his desk without delay and picked up the phone.
"The news has been sent to the Strategic Defense Command Center's bomb interception system has been launched as planned." Li Cunxun glanced at Xiang Yinghui and said, "We have sufficient ability to intercept Japan's strategic ballistic missiles, but we need to adjust the Air Force's combat operations. After completing the first round of strike operations, we must seize air supremacy as soon as possible, seek to kill Japan's mobile strategic ballistic missiles, and strive to eliminate strategic threats as soon as possible."
Wang Yuanqing nodded and looked at Xiang Yinghui.
Xiang Yinghui breathed a sigh of relief, called the Air Force Command, and issued an order to Zhang Zhongxian.
It can be said that the "strategic defense system" is the country's "King Kong Cover", but this "King Kong Cover" has a fatal disadvantage, which is that it cannot maintain the best combat readiness for a long time. The main components of the "national strategic defense system" are the "air-based laser interception system", "ground-based missile interception system" and "sea-based theater defense system", among which the main interception tasks are the "air-based laser interception system".
Just deploy interceptor aircraft at the first interceptor point in the northern Sea of Japan (13730 East, 30 North latitude), the second interceptor point in Yulei Island (131115 East, 3730 North) and the third interceptor point in the eastern East China Sea (12015 East, 305 North), to cover the entire Japan and intercept ballistic missiles in the boosting stage. Because the Republic has not deployed naval warships with missile interception capabilities to the Sea of Japan for the time being, three batches of 30 interceptor aircraft were deployed at the first interceptor point and the second interceptor point respectively. The third interceptor point can be supported and strengthened by the "Sea-based War Zone Defense System", and only 3 batches of 9 interceptor aircraft were deployed.
The aircraft carrying out the interception mission cannot be patrolling the air and will have to return to the base sooner or later. In this way, the continuous combat capability of the "national strategic defense system" is very limited. In the design stage, the "national strategic defense system" does not strictly require continuous combat capability. After all, the strategic strike only lasts for a few minutes, at most dozens of minutes, and it is impossible to continue. Whether the incoming missile can be successfully shot down depends on the interception operation within these few minutes.
Whether the threat can be quickly eliminated is directly related to the local security of the Republic!
