"Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, the heroic U.S. Air Force flight formation, a total of 72 aircraft, has arrived in the waters of Kite Island and is carrying out the next combat mission. We will update you on the progress of the war every half hour.
.Let us bless America and the American air force athletes!"
In the Pentagon press briefing room, after a break of several hours, the spokesperson once again broke a piece of news to reporters, and this news was obviously shocking.
"Mr. Press Officer, why has there been no news of the task force dispatched by the Pacific Fleet?" a reporter asked very keenly.
"After the task force carried out the first wave of attacks on Iris Island, it implemented radio silence as planned. Naturally, no news came back." The press officer said, which is also what the Pentagon said after unifying the message.
At about the same time, the American bosses at the Pentagon became more and more emotional when they heard the live information on Iri Island sent back by the air force heroes. Especially when they heard that the "task force" was intact, a big stone fell in their hearts.
.As for the statement that there was not a single soldier on the ship, they automatically ignored it.
Perhaps the plane was traveling too fast and the pilot did not see clearly; perhaps the sailors on the battleship were having a meeting... In fact, there is no requirement that there be people on the deck of a battleship at all times.
Because high-tech warships do not require soldiers to stand on the deck to observe the course, observe the wind direction, or stay in alert positions, etc. All of these are operated by computers and replaced by instruments.
More importantly, since the battleship is intact, there will naturally be no problems with the soldiers on board.
But now, not everyone is so blindly excited. Davis was the first to express doubts: "There is a problem, there must be a problem! Let's not talk about the battleships, nor the soldiers, just this radio station, there is a problem. Why?
The task force arrived at Kite Island without sending a report? In addition, in the action plan, there was no order for the task force to be the first to dock and land at the port. Instead, they were required to steadily dock and land at the port under the cover of the air force!
Obviously, the task force violated this regulation. Let’s talk about radios, if one ship’s radio is broken, are all the radios broken? If all the radios are broken, why do they dare to dock at the port?”
"Gentlemen, I have a hunch that something may have happened to our task force!" President Reagan followed up after Davis raised the question.
"Ah?" Others looked confused. How could President Reagan judge that something had happened to the battleship?
In particular, Bosso Kelt, the Chief of Staff of the US Army, a representative of the "Hawks" and the most active promoter of the Iris Island War, immediately objected after hearing President Reagan's words:
"Your Excellency, Mr. Davis, there is some truth in what Mr. Davis said, but we cannot judge from this that something happened to the fleet, because the battleships are all fine! The task force did not send a telegram. It is very likely that the entire group encountered an accident that prevented the telegram from being sent.
Even if this situation is only one in 10,000, it is still a possibility and it is possible to happen."
Just as the Pentagon bosses were arguing, someone among the pilots at the scene suddenly yelled "ah--", and then the radio's unique sound of electricity suddenly stopped.
Everyone looked at each other, what's going on?
"Something happened!" Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Halkin was the first to react.
"Not necessarily, it may be a problem with the transmission equipment or lines." Bosokelt insisted. In his opinion, how could the powerful US army be easily defeated. Perhaps, the US army might also be defeated.
But there must be traces of it.
"I hope so." Holkin had been in a difficult situation. At this time, he no longer had the interest to argue with others.
"Ask Remiconi of the Pacific Fleet, what are they doing?" Kurt waved to a service member of the meeting.
"Your Excellency, gentlemen, the commander of the Air Force Base in the Philippines, Major General Moni, sent a telegram: The flight formations taking off from the Philippine base and the Guam base lost contact with the base at 7:53 local time at the same time!" A service personnel had just left.
, another service member wearing a colonel's uniform came in holding a telegraph newspaper.
"What, lost contact again?" Bosokelt felt that his confidence and optimism seemed to have been challenged in some way. I just said what if, now I am saying what if, or in other words, the radio technology of the United States
So unreliable?
…
It is late night on the American continent, but the sun is shining brightly on the Eastern continent.
In the underground command center of the Chinese Military Headquarters, the staff officers and military chiefs who had not slept all night took a nap after 4 o'clock in the night, and woke up in time at 7 o'clock in the morning, because the US Air Force would definitely take off at dawn.
Kite Island will carry out air strikes, and the United States will definitely report relevant battlefield developments.
As for the US task force's "successful attack" last night, there was no news. Of course, the Chinese military did not estimate that the fleet had actually been destroyed, but thought that the US did not want to disclose the news to the media. It is morning now
Well, the U.S. Navy and Air Force are working together, so there will naturally be news about the task force.
Sure enough, when these staff officers and military chiefs just entered the explanation room, the United States released another news: two American air force formations had flown over the island and were taking action against the island; and the American task force also had
According to further information, it turns out that after the first round of attacks last night, the US military task force implemented radio silence.
Since Chief Wu Mian was not present at this time, the tone of the discussion and research at the military department suddenly became much more "pessimistic". Most of the staff believed that even if Yuandao might have some means, they would not be able to hold on for long. After all, Yuandao would not be able to hold on for long.
It was a hasty war, and there were no fortifications or air defense facilities on the island. Most importantly, there were only a few people, let alone an army.
However, what depressed the staff of the Chinese Military Headquarters was that after the United States announced the news of "an air force formation flying over Iridium Island", there was no news until 12 noon, Chinese time.
"What's going on? This shouldn't be the style of the United States!" A military boss finally realized that the United States might be in trouble.
Although the chief did not go to the underground command center again, he was always paying attention to the situation on Yuan Island. Like the staff, the chief did nothing all morning. He was just checking a map of the Western Pacific while waiting for new war news.
.
However, at 12 noon, no news came, which made the chief intuitively feel that the United States may really have encountered a problem. Otherwise, how could a country like this show off its power not report the progress of the war?
"Luo Ming, please call and ask your master about the situation on Yuandao." The leader finally couldn't sit still.
"Yes, Chief." Luo Ming agreed. In fact, Luo Ming was also very concerned about the situation on Yuan Island, but he did not dare to make this call because he was worried that his call would have a negative impact on the master. Now he has the Chief's
Instructions. Luo Ming just took advantage of the situation.
The call was quickly connected, and Luo Ming asked: "Master, is it you? How is the situation?"
Came the other end of the phone: "What's going on?"
"Ruan Island, isn't it true that the US military task force and the US air force formation have arrived at Yuan Island?" Luo Ming felt depressed for a moment, as his master seemed to have some objections to him.
"Haha, you're talking about the Americans. Their task force has been captured by Yuan Dao; their air force formation has also been shot down by me. 72 planes fell into the sea, and 65 pilots also became
The other 7 pilots died due to problems during the parachute jump."
"This. Master, are you telling the truth?" Luo Ming couldn't believe that a fleet could be captured so easily, and it actually became a prisoner of Kite Island. Now, he vaguely felt that Master said
It seems true that it is possible to wipe out a country in two hours.
"Master, since Kite Island has won the victory, why not announce the results to the whole world?" Luo Ming's question was actually asked by the acting chief.
"I haven't thought about how to deal with the next problem." Zhao Wuji told the truth.
When the chief heard this, he immediately took over the topic excitedly: "Zhao Wuji, I'm Hao Mian, tell me what you want to achieve, and let me, an old man, help you as a reference."
"Hello, Chief! In fact, my request is very simple. The first step is the autonomy of Yuandao, the second step is to establish the Republic of Yuandao, and finally let the United States recognize that Yuandao is a country with independent sovereignty. But now the United States has asked
A war has begun on Rite Island. Although Rite Island is not afraid of the Americans, it can be said that even if the United States sends its aircraft carrier fleet, Rite Island can easily defeat them. But the problem is that Rite Island does not like war!"
"Are you ready to serve as the leader of the Republic of Yuan Island?" After Zhao Wuji finished speaking, the leader suddenly asked.
"No, I will not come forward. If possible, I am ready to let one of Feng Jiaping or Tong Zixin serve as the leader of this country." Zhao Wuji said. Indeed, Zhao Wuji himself does not want to be the head of state. He feels that he
It's best to operate behind the scenes.
"No, Comrade Zhao Wuji, no matter what you think, politics is not a child's play. The leader of a country must be the most prestigious person. If my guess is correct, how many disciples do you have?
If you let the eldest disciple become the head of state, other disciples may not be convinced; even if you obey the management, it is for the sake of Zhao Wuji, your master, and Feng Jiaping himself will feel awkward."
"This..." Zhao Wuji really hasn't thought about this problem yet, and the chief's statement seems to make sense.
"So, I suggest you: first, announce to the outside world that you are the leader of the Provisional Self-Government of Kite Island; second, you can not announce the results of your victory for the time being, but you must inform the Americans of your results through a third party.
;
Third, as for the territory you want, I looked at the map and I think it can include the Sonsoror Islands and Helen Island. Fourth, if your idea is bigger, just west of 140 degrees east longitude and 10 degrees north latitude.
All the Palau Islands to the south of the island are included. Aren’t you very good at reclamation? If you fill up all the shallow sea areas of the small islands in this area, you will get at least 30,000 square kilometers of land.”
"Chief, if this game of chess is played like this, isn't it too big?" Although Zhao Wuji really wanted to get all these territories, he was not ready in his heart. The most important reason was that he was not ready at this time.
There is no one on hand.
Military matters are easier for him to handle. Firstly, he understands them better, and secondly, intelligent robots are very good as soldiers. Business matters are also easier to handle, and even intelligent robots have no problem organizing production. But this
To be honest, Zhao Wuji didn't like government management. In Fengshan and Lujiang, Zhao Wuji often achieved success with the help of supernatural powers.
"What are your concerns?" The chief obviously understood the meaning of Zhao Wuji's words.
"Chief, I don't have anyone. No one is here to manage such a large territory!" Zhao Wuji said.
"You kid, how can this be a problem? Don't you have a thorough study of rules and fairness? As long as you set the rules, you are afraid that you can't find anyone? If you can trust me, old man, I will be your consultant.
, Of course, it's mainly about politics and diplomacy. As for economy, technology, military, people's livelihood, etc., you are much better than my old man." The chief's words seemed to be back to his youth, full of passion.
"Chief, how can I dare to do you any favors? If this is the case, I won't be scolded to death by the Chinese big guys!" Zhao Wuji said immediately, this matter is really not a joke.
"You kid, are you afraid that I will swallow up your Yuandao Republic? You, Zhao Wuji, are not afraid of heaven and earth, but you are afraid of me as an honest man? Maybe you have objections to some of our practices, and I understand that. But you
You must also understand that some things are hard to come back from. The rules of Kite Island are set by you. If you draw on a piece of white paper, you will naturally no longer have those bad habits. Besides, you have a gun in your hands, who are you afraid of?
"
"Chief, if this is the case, please help me recommend a few people with diplomatic experience. I'm really not good at this." Zhao Wuji didn't say whether he would agree or not, but asked for people first.
Zhao Wuji felt troubled or a little impatient at this time. The main reason was that Yuandao's autonomy came too quickly. In fact, his entire strength expanded too fast, making his talent team construction somewhat unable to keep up with the expansion of power and strength.
pace.
"Haha, you are looking for the right person. We have a professor named Peng Dajiang at the China Foreign Affairs University. He has a very profound research on international relations and often provides various diplomatic suggestions to China. These suggestions are not suitable for China because of its relatively strong national power.
I basically can’t adopt it, but I think many of his ideas are in line with Toido Island’s needs.”
"Chief, Yuandao wants such a person. If it is as you said, I will ask him to serve as Yuandao's deputy prime minister and foreign minister." Zhao Wuji knew what the chief meant when he heard it. Professor Peng advocated being strong and tough.
, but Huaxia was unable to do so due to various considerations. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to
