Chapter 1584 Tie Tie Tie (Third, Seeking Subscribe)
Bottom line.
Everyone has bottom lines, some bottom lines are flexible, and some bottom lines are untouchable.
As for who is flexible.
There is no way of knowing, but it is known that SEA has not yet compromised on its principles.
Just like Zhang Haoran faced the reporter who came to interview at the airport, the reporter asked.
"Were you scared when you were kidnapped?"
"I've been scared, but I'm not worried about my safety,"
Zhang Haoran replied,
"Because I have the trust that the country will do its best to the end, I believe that the official will do everything possible to rescue me. Maybe there will be a scene where special forces wearing double-star badges fly to rescue me, just like in the movie. I I believe that when something happens overseas, saving people may just appear in movies!”
There is trust that the country will do its best to the end. What does this trust come from?
It is precisely because everyone knows that Sea has its own bottom line.
The bottom line cannot be touched,
This has nothing to do with dignity, just because protecting the safety and lives of the people is the country's responsibility.
Absolutely no country in this world will give up or sacrifice this responsibility, even in the face of threats.
Even the weak elementary school has their dignity. There are also their responsibilities, and there are things they do their best to protect them.
It didn't even take 48 hours. It only took a few hours for Thang Long Palace to issue a statement, accusing SEA of hegemonism, saying that it would never compromise, and at the same time claiming that it would repel all invading enemies.
They also have something they want to defend.
And this of course means that both sides have bottom lines that cannot be compromised.
On this day, in the South China Sea, dozens of F2 fighter aircraft whistled off the aircraft carrier from the "Friendship" aircraft carrier, and took off one after another as the cover group.
While these aircraft took off, the radar station near Shenglongfu also discovered their movements. In the past few months, they have been resisting the bombing of the US military. Therefore, it is no stranger to the enemy of the air in the air. Its airport in the border area and the Sam air defense missile position immediately rang the alarm. A Mi -fighter whistled the air, and the Sam missile pointed directly at the sky.
Just wait for the enemy plane to break in and give it a fatal blow. Just like they hit Americans!
Just when they used the Mi Geter fighter, Sam's air defense missile, and high -firing guns to form a dense network. When trying to intercept this group, the group launched an attack on the south of its territorial sea -twelve responsible attack tasks The F4 fighter aircraft launched an attack on the inland target on the Gonghai.
These F4 fighters are not carrying ordinary bombs, but Harpoon anti-ship missiles.
This anti-ship missile is a long-range anti-ship missile that the defense equipment department has been working on for several years. The missile is 5.2 meters long, 0.45 meters in diameter, 1180 kilograms in weight, and 320 kilograms in warhead weight.
In addition to being launched from a ship-based quadruple launch box, the Harpoon anti-ship missile can also be carried by F2 and F4 fighter jets and launched from the air. Compared with the sea-based maximum range of 120 kilometers, the air-based range is as high as 160 kilometers.
It can not only attack various warships, but also land targets. It is another sea-to-ground strike weapon of the Navy after the "Tomahawk cruise missile". And compared with Tomahawk missiles, it is relatively cheaper.
Of course, the reason why the navy chose it was because of the distance, most of which were within 160 kilometers because of the distance.
The 24 whale hunting anti -ship missiles flew to multiple targets under the guidance of radar and GPS positioning systems.
On this day, multiple facilities including the port and the oil depot were hit to varying degrees.
The deadliest attack was obviously of a demonstrative nature - two Tomahawk missiles directly hit the power plant and transformer outside Thang Long Province.
After the violent explosion, the entire city was plunged into darkness.
……
"The fire burned for 2 days and 2 nights."
In an office on the third floor of the U.S. Representative Office in Chang'an, Lieutenant Colonel Richard looked at the aerial photos and said.
"The airstrike on their DueGiang facility destroyed 41,800 tons of fuel, although that represented two-thirds of the facility's total fuel reserves."
As you can see from the photos, the oil depot was completely engulfed in flames.
"Yes, they used one attack to accomplish what we wanted to do but have been unable to do."
Major Wilson said with some emotion.
Helplessly shrugged his shoulders, and Lieutenant Colonel Richard said.
"It's not that you can't do it, but that the White House will not approve the Air Force to attack. So far, our thunder operation has been implemented for 7 months, but what did we do?"
"Nothing done."
Lieutenant Richard said a cigarette from the cigarette case while saying that after litting the cigarette, he said:
"Originally, we should have launched an attack on the oil storage facilities on the day the operation started, but until now, before Sea launched the attack, our oil storage facilities were still operating well, and not a single bomb was thrown."
"It is not that the Air Force does not want to bomb, but that the White House has not approved our actions."
"Yeah, those guys in the White House asked us to use bombing to win the victory of the war, preventing Shenglong Mansion from assisting the south to ensure that Saigon will not perish.
And what about the other side? We also tied all our hands. Every plan and every target we had had to be reported to the White House first, and only after it was approved by the White House could we bomb it in real time.
When did my God, when did the oval office become the Air Force Staff? When did President Johnson become a military staff? "
"Military staff? Is he match?"
Major Wilson said in a sarcastic tone:
"Starting the implementation of the lightning operation on March 2nd, what plan did he develop? We are not allowed to make a big shot, and even the initial bombing target circle is set as a small military supply point and some small naval bases. Facilities, power plants, supply bases, oil warehouses and some military facilities.
Not only that, Johnson also stipulated some areas where bombing is prohibited, such as areas near the northern border, as well as large cities and densely populated areas such as Thang Long and Hai Phong. After seeing the true nature of our paper tiger, we moved our military equipment, material bases and industrial facilities to these areas where bombing is prohibited. Later, even the anti-aircraft weapons were moved to these areas where bombing was prohibited. Now we can safely attack We, the American devils, do not need to worry about the retaliation of the American devils at all. ”
As the officer, Wilson and they mentioned Johnson's approach, the irony in the tone was difficult to conceal, and even used the "American devil" to describe themselves.
Johnson had two ideas in stipulating these. One was not to cause a large number of civilian casualties, and the other was not to blow up the advisors of the Soviet power to avoid triggering World War III. However, he didn't expect those people to be so "cunning" and actually take advantage of this.
When the two officers mentioned the most absurd aspect of this war, they even said in an extremely angry tone:
"According to their way of war, we will never win the ultimate victory of this war."
"Yes, actually, as Barry Goldwater said last year, go all in or get out of Saigon. Those guys in the White House are simply stupid to the extreme."
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
After the Lieutenant Colonel Richard finished these words, Wilson agreed, and said with emotion:
"What nonsense, Lieutenant Colonel, I regret it now!"
"What?"
"At that time, I really should have voted for that guy Goldwater instead of Johnson. We couldn't win this war with guys like them!"
"Yes,"
Lieutenant Colonel Richard smoked a cigarettes fiercely, and then he looked at those photos. These photos were not taken by US military reconnaissance aircraft, but SEA's "ghost" high -altitude reconnaissance machine was taken. Essence
As part of the intelligence sharing plan between the two sides, they sent a copy of the photos to this side. Now, looking at these photos, Lieutenant Colonel Richard is even more emotional.
"Actually, fighting should be as good as them. Either do not fight, or go all out, just like them, even if they just want to ask for a statement, the attacking is the most fatal."
Richard held a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the photos and the targets marked on the map, and then said:
"Oil storage facilities, radar stations, plus power plants and substations. The targets they attacked are all of very strategic value, and they are places that the White House does not allow us to bomb.
After these places are destroyed, those guys will definitely feel very distressed. "
"More than just feeling distressed, didn't you see how angry they were? They accused Sea of violating their sovereignty by unprovoked bombing."
Before the words of Major Wilson, Lieutenant Colonel Richard laughed:
"What is the meaning of? Just as their representatives say-" You can't only think of sovereignty when you are attacked by the Tomahawk! ". They don't have so many scruples."
In addition, Richard said in a very helpless tone:
"Unfortunately, they only implemented such a blow. If they also joined the lightning operation, I dare to say that at most for a maximum of half a year, Shenglongfu must be surrendered!"
Wilson nodded in agreement and agreed:
"Yes, they won't take care of any Russians, nor will they take care of the problems such as war!"
"Unfortunately, they only participate in this time."
Seeing the regretful look on the lieutenant colonel's face, Major Wilson thought for a moment and said:
"There is still a chance now. If Shenglong Mansion chooses to retaliate, such as ordering the guerrillas in the south to attack the abduction of those Sea people, maybe the relationship between them will be further nervous. In order to protect themselves, they have very well. May join us, we will bomb those monkeys together. "
Listening to Major Wilson's imagination, Richard Lieutenant Lieutenant laughed:
"Haha, you are just dreaming. After those monkeys came and bombed this time, they will definitely understand that these guys and the French are different from us. If they are provoked, they will definitely take revenge. Although those monkeys They are small, but they are definitely not fools!”
After thinking for a moment, Lieutenant Colonel Richard added:
"Dare to say that they will definitely order the man, and they will definitely not allow people who abduct or hurt Sea in any case.
No matter how tough their mouths are, their bodies are honest! ”
"It would be a shame if those monkeys really didn't have the guts to retaliate."
Major Wilson said sadly:
"I thought we could have gotten a very powerful helper. At least, they would conduct the war the way the war was fought without having their hands tied by the White House."
Regarding Wilson's unfortunate, Richard said deeply:
"Yes, but I have never thought of another possibility. The reason why I don't want to participate is because I don't want to have my hands tied by the White House."
As soldiers, there are some things they know very well, they know very well. What kind of price will they pay if their hands and feet are tied in the war, but they have to accept such restraints, because they cannot make the decision on the progress of the war.
In this case, they can even understand why some allies are not willing to wade into this muddy water, after all. No one wants to fight a war with their hands and feet tied,
"Although they can't join this war and become our helper, at least their bombing was given to the northern guy. A profound lesson told them, what can we do?"
Richard nodded and said,
"What they can do, we can do in the future, as long as we loosen our hands and feet..."
