Chapter 378 Long Xia overtook at a curve, the Eagle was unwilling to give in
Pushkin slowly stood up from the chair and walked to the window sill.
Looking up at the starry sky, the stars were still dotted and twinkling, and his eyes gradually became deeper.
Over the years, a large number of talents from the Longxia Tribe have been absorbed by the Eagle Tribe. Of course, other western tribes have also absorbed many talents, and naturally some have come to the White Bear Tribe.
In addition, Western countries have crazy restrictions and blockades on the Longxia tribe in the military and high-tech fields, with the purpose of preventing the Longxia tribe from becoming strong.
Under such extreme circumstances, it would be very difficult for the Longxia tribe to develop.
But even so, it still failed to curb the rise of the Longxia tribe. Instead, it rose faster and faster, especially since the navy had developed warships with regional air defense capabilities.
According to the classification of the White Bear Tribe, those who can shoot down strategic-level reconnaissance aircraft such as U2 can basically be classified as strategic-level navies, which have strong ocean-going combat capabilities.
In just a few years, Long Xia has grown from a country that needs to import advanced warships to a country with the ability to develop and build advanced warships. Its progress is so fast that Pushkin even Feeling helpless.
The current development speed of the Longxia tribe has left him at a loss.
Over the years, although the White Bear Tribe did not impose an overt technical blockade on Long Xia like the Eagle Tribe, they would not give up any military secrets.
Even the warships sold to the Longxia tribe were retired from active service after decades of service.
Even so, they still tampered with the exit. Wherever they could castrate, they would try to castrate it as much as possible, and they would never let Long Xia Navy get the most advanced warship technology.
Hiding it like this, it still failed to stop the rapid rise of the Longxia tribe.
It has to be said that the people of Longxia really have an indomitable spirit, and they become more and more courageous the more they are frustrated. They are like a little strong man who cannot be defeated. They become more and more courageous with every setback, and they catch up with them at a speed that is shocking to humans. .
"How difficult is the situation?"
"The situation of our White Bear tribe is also very bad."
Pushkin felt that the pressure in his heart suddenly increased a lot, and his mood became uncomfortable. Get high.
The Eagle Tribe in front was pressing forward step by step, causing them to keep retreating. Now the Longxia Tribe behind them was also catching up quickly.
He even had some doubts that it wouldn't be long before the Long Xia Navy would surpass a traditional naval power like theirs.
Even though he didn't want to accept this result, he had to accept it.
In terms of military technology development, the White Bear Tribe is indeed developing at a much slower pace. If this continues, sooner or later it will become a third-rate navy.
“It seems that the White Bear Tribe’s naval development also needs to work harder.”
Pushkin murmured to himself. At this moment, his mood was complicated, a little sour, and a little sad. Not happy.
"Great Emperor, the Longxia tribe has made frequent moves in the past two years, and its economy has developed rapidly."
"Do we need to further contain them?"
"For example, increase the horsepower."
Boris asked with a frown, he had no idea now.
If you act truthfully, it will definitely have a negative impact, that is, you will be attacked from both sides.
In the past, they have been secretly curbing Long Xia's development, especially in the field of military industry. If it is suddenly done openly now, it will definitely arouse Long Xia's dissatisfaction.
Having a bad relationship with this neighbor will cost them more than they gain.
What can be done?
Pushkin was extremely overwhelmed at the moment and could not make a decision for a while.
The Longxia tribe developed under such difficult conditions, which has shown that they cannot be contained.
Even if restrictions are increased in the future, what will happen?
This was done too harshly. If the Longxia tribe were forced to go to the Eagle tribe like before, they would be in great trouble.
The neighbor has no way to move out, and any action taken now may not work.
"Observe for a period of time. If their development situation is beyond our control, then we have to take some necessary measures."
After thinking for a long time, Pushkin returned to himself Desk He sat down again and spoke directly.
“Yes.”
Boris responded hastily.
"No matter what, they are our neighbors."
"Some things can't be done too much."
At this point, Pushkin's eyes flashed A flash of sternness flashed, "Of course, if the Longxia tribe gets out of control, we still have to do some things."
When we really get to that point, for the sake of the national interest, even if the Longxia tribe is really pushed away He would also do it when he went to the Eagle Tribe.
The other side.
Eastern Wilderness Tribe, America Military Base.
As the steel gate of the base opened, the bulletproof vehicle in which the chief was riding quickly drove into the base, protected by the convoy.
Even though the Donghuang tribe has taken very good security measures, the chief still brought many security personnel.
After entering the base, we stopped in front of the command center.
The car door opened, and the Chief slowly stepped out of the car and landed, stepping on the specially laid carpet, which was very soft.
The person in charge of the garrison base, the three-star general Cruz, had already led everyone to line up and was waiting there. When he saw the great chief coming, his face immediately burst into an extremely bright smile.
“Welcome to the base, War Chief.”
After Cruz stepped forward and saluted a military salute, he turned aside and said, “War Chief, please go this way.”
< br>“Okay.”
The chief said with an extremely serious expression.
Under Cruise's guidance, the group arrived at the combat command center, where everyone was busy, with numerous data and surrounding situation changes displayed on the large screen.
"What's the situation now?"
The chief asked impatiently as soon as he sat down.
"Great Chief, Fox Hunter 1 has lost contact. I have sent Fox Hunter 2 and Fox Hunter 3 to search."
The three-star general Cruz said hurriedly, "Judging from the time, they should have arrived over the Longxia Sea. I believe the results will be out soon."
"I need specific results, what are they?" "When did you find it?"
The chief's brows gradually wrinkled and he asked in a deep voice.
"The report is not certain yet, but I think they will send back the news soon."
Cruise responded truthfully, that is all he has learned so far news, next we need to look at the relevant intelligence information brought back by the two U2s.
"Why did Fox Hunter One lose contact?"
The Chief's words directly caused cold sweat to break out on Cruise's forehead.
"It's not clear yet."
These words directly made the chief frown, "Then do you have any follow-up plans?"
"Sorry, sir. Chief, not yet.”
Cruise was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said truthfully.
I previously thought that the Longxia Tribe had no way of shooting down the U2 reconnaissance plane, and felt that it would be like entering an uninhabited land when it arrived at the Longxia Tribe.
It’s not useful at all.
That's U2, not the garbage from the Eastern Wilderness Tribe. Who would have thought that it would suddenly lose contact?
Their impression of Long Xia's navy was that they were forced to land artillery a few years ago.
Besides, who dared to beat down U2 after being so brave?
Based on these practical factors, are there any follow-up plans that need to be prepared?
"Great Chief, so far, it has been more than three hours since Hunter 1 entered Longxia's airspace."
"There is still no news at all."
Seeing that the chief didn't speak, Cruise frowned and spoke with a distressed look on his face.
At this moment, an intelligence officer walked in quickly.
"Great Chief, General, the latest news."
"Long Xia's foreign affairs department has just issued a latest announcement, which is suspected to be related to the missing Fox Hunter 1."
Hearing this, the chief and Cruz were shocked.
Is it possible that the disappearance of Fox Hunter 1 has something to do with the Longxia tribe?
Don’t tell me.
Suddenly, an unknown premonition arose in the minds of both of them at the same time.
"Quickly, bring it here, let me take a look."
Cruise almost snatched the photo from the other person's hand, stared at it, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.
After reading it, he immediately handed it over to the chief.
The picture is full of piles of wreckage. Without professionals, it is impossible to see part of the U2 reconnaissance aircraft. Naturally, the chief has no idea.
"General Cruz, do you recognize him?"
Seeing the change in Cruz's face, the chief asked in a deep voice.
“Great Chief, this is our lost Fox Hunter One!”
General Cruz reported with an extremely heavy heart, but his heart was extremely complicated.
I originally thought that Fox Hunter 1 was playing hide-and-seek with the Long Xia Air Force and was trying every means to get out of trouble.
But I didn’t expect that it had been shot down.
To be precise, it should have been beaten to pieces. If I hadn't seen the icon, I might not even recognize my mother.
Damn it, what a blow it has been. It’s about to be blown into pieces.
It was so tragic.
"Longxia Navy has such technology?"
The chief asked with disbelief on his face.
He remembered clearly that his staff had reported that this was a U2 reconnaissance aircraft that could fly to an altitude of 24KM. It was equipped with the latest electronic warfare system. Longxia's navy and air force had no use for it. Halfway through.
But now, you actually told Fox Hunter 1 that it was shot down not long after it flew into Longxiahai airspace?
And it was shot with a missile, which was truly horrific.
If Cruise hadn't recognized it, he probably wouldn't have known what kind of wreckage it was from a fighter plane, and it was all blown into pieces.
And he discovered that the fragment with the logo seemed to be deliberately placed for them to see.
"Great Chief, I don't know about this."
Cruise responded awkwardly, saying that he indeed had no information in this regard.
If there was, he would not deploy like this. Instead, he would let fighter planes escort him, or attack from multiple points at the same time. There would always be one point that broke into Long Xia's tribe, and he would not be shot down.
"Great Chief, according to the relevant information we have obtained before, the Longxia tribe does not have such technology. They only have land-based fixed position anti-aircraft missiles, but they have no way to intercept sea targets."
"Their ship-to-air missiles are even more short-legged. The most advanced aircraft in the Air Force is the Su-27 aircraft imported from the White Bear Tribe, but it cannot fly at a high altitude."
"According to the Judging from the content in the photo, it looks more like it was shot down at sea."
At this point, Cruise paused, and what he said next might even be unbelievable to him.
If it is at sea, it means that the Longxia Navy must have at least one anti-aircraft missile that can reach an altitude of 25KM. It also means that the Longxia Navy already has ship-based air defense missiles that are more advanced than they imagined.
Otherwise, Long Xia could only use fighter jets to attack with air-to-air missiles, regardless of the safety of the pilots and at a heavy cost.
After all, the Longxia tribe’s fighter jets fly much lower than the reconnaissance planes.
To fly a reconnaissance aircraft from a low position to a high altitude, the overload that a fighter pilot needs to withstand is very large. When it rises almost vertically, the engine needs to have strong thrust.
It is a major test for fighter jet engines, missile fuel, etc.
"Do you want to tell me that the Longxia tribe has made a new breakthrough in the field of military technology?"
The chief stared at Cruise and asked in a deep voice.
"This, this..."
Cruise hesitated for a long time, unable to say a word, and he didn't know how to answer.
After all, he has no first-hand information, let alone went to the scene to check it out. How should he respond?
You can't just play house with a child and talk nonsense, right?
For a while, both of them fell into silence.
At this moment, apart from the sound of everyone breathing, the only sound left in the hall is the hum of the fan running on the computer.
After more than three minutes, the blond and blue-eyed staff member on the side spoke quickly.
"War Chief, General Cruise."
"If the Longxia tribe really makes a breakthrough in military technology, then our reconnaissance operation must be canceled immediately, otherwise, it will be equivalent to giving up lives."
"After all, if you can If Fox Hunter 1 is shot down, it will be able to shoot down subsequent reconnaissance planes.”
The staff member’s words also frightened him, and the expressions on the faces of the Chief and General Cruise were even brighter. great changes.
After being reminded like this, everyone at the scene thought of a very serious problem.
The first Fox Hunter 1 was shot down, then the risk of the other two being shot down increased exponentially.
Thinking of this, several people suddenly couldn't sit still, and their faces became extremely ugly.
Without needing to be reminded by the chief, Cruise called the communications trooper to him as quickly as possible: "Quick, contact them and order Fox Hunter 2 and Fox Hunter 3 to return immediately!"
"Cancel the action plan, and the mission to search for Fox Hunter 1 is canceled immediately."
"Order them to come back quickly."
He knew very well that if he was a little late, not only that With the two ace pilots gone, even the U2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane will be destroyed.
The order has been issued, but General Cruz is still very nervous.
He even felt that he had been too hasty before and issued the order rashly without investigating the specific situation.
It is also his own fault, there is a huge prejudice against the Longxia tribe, so that he made some wrong decisions!
At this moment, his mood was extremely bad.
Previously, I was only thinking that the Fox Hunter 1 had an accident in the airspace of the Longxia tribe, but I didn't think about being shot down by the Longxia tribe at all.
A U2 is nothing, but the Eagle Tribe’s reputation has been damaged.
