At the same time that Christina received a report from a lieutenant colonel of the coast guard of a large foreign country, a hu-25d "Guardian" belonging to the coast guard of a large foreign country was located over the sea 270 kilometers northeast of Huansi Island. "The command patrol aircraft is rapidly approaching the Yangtze River Delta region.
In the cabin, Coast Guard Lieutenant Colonel Steve Cole, who had just obtained the accurate coordinates and orientation of the island from Christina, quickly found the location of the island on the detailed electronic chart in front of him. Location.
Just as he was about to enter the coordinates into the mission computer and send them to the Coast Guard "Hamilton"-class patrol ship USS Rush, which was also heading toward the Yangtze River Delta a hundred nautical miles behind, the international radio in the cabin came from the mainland of China. Air traffic controller¡¯s voice:
"hu256817, please report your exact location hu256817, please report your exact location"
After hearing this, Cole looked at the vertical navigation tracks that were flashing on the screen next to him. A proud smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He immediately stared at one of them and said in a calm tone: "128 degrees 13 minutes east longitude." , 26 degrees 34 minutes north latitude, altitude 11,800 meters, speed Mach 0.75."
"Fortunately, the Chinese air traffic control personnel are not here, otherwise, I can guarantee that they will throw you out of the window of the plane without hesitation."
Just after Cole reported his so-called "position", an obviously ridiculing voice suddenly came from behind him. Cole shrugged his shoulders and said confidently: "There is no way, who made the Chinese reject our kindness? They can do it for the sake of face, but we cannot give up our principles because of the safety of our citizens."
As he spoke, he turned his chair and looked at the person behind him. A short, bald Huffington Post reporter wearing a Coast Guard commemorative uniform, Bill Dawn, also used a teasing tone. He asked instead: "What do you think? Mr. Dawn?"
Dawn smiled slightly and handed Cole the cup of instant coffee he had just brewed. Then he sat on the rest seat behind the command podium, took a sip of the coffee in his hand, and glanced at the modern aircraft in the cabin. Facing the equipment and busy scene, his smile became even brighter, but his words were extremely cold: "Let me say, the commanders in the rear are still too conservative. If it were me, and encountering such a thing, I would definitely send electronic warfare aircraft and When fighter jets come over, since they want to show off their muscles, they need to show off their muscles more clearly and thoroughly, instead of using a coast guard ship to pay a friendly visit and perform such a half-covered and useless show.
So I think we did a good job in the Arabian Sea last year. Even if it turns out to be an own goal, I think similar incidents will help us set a benchmark for maintaining world order instead of becoming conservative because of an own goal, which will make us I became a victim of appeasement"
Dawn is worthy of being a senior reporter of the conservative media Huffington Post. Although his views are not extreme, they are domineering enough. However, it is undeniable that Dawn's ideas represent the views of a considerable number of Westerners. The Soviet Union collapsed and the Cold War ended. , history seems to have completely ended at this moment, and mankind has since entered a new world pattern completely dominated by the West.
Under such a situation, a large country outside the region, as the leader of the West, will naturally assume the responsibility of leading the world and ruthlessly suppress all unstable factors, thereby maintaining this pattern arrogantly for a hundred or even thousands of years.
Based on this point of view, it is not surprising that Dawn defended the behavior of a major foreign country in seizing merchant ships bound for Iran in the Arabian Sea last year.
Even if it was a recognized serious mistake and a ridiculous own goal, so what? Even if the standard-bearer who governs the world makes a mistake, it is understandable. After all, the starting point is good, not to mention that it has not caused any losses to the other party, so there is no need to make a fuss.
If you are always hesitant because of trivial matters, then who will dare to safeguard their national interests in the future?
So after receiving a distress message from Christina via satellite phone this time, Dawn felt that since there were citizens of her own country in Christina¡¯s team, regardless of the country, she should go all out to rescue them first.
As a result, the exercise ended as planned, but the commander of the USS Rush, who was preparing to go to the Yangtze River Delta for a goodwill visit, had to coordinate and communicate with a large country in the East before taking the next step.
The result was as expected, a certain big country in the East decisively refused. If the entire visiting fleet had not been tasked with another confidential mission, the conservative Dawn would have felt that the commander on board the Rush was a complete softie.
Why are you worried so much?
Life and death are fading, what you do if you do n¡¯t accept it, otherwise how to reflect the horizontal attitude of the Cold War winner!
Although Cole is also a conservative, he is not as fanatical as Dawn, so he looks at Dawn with a strange look, wondering why the reporter assigned for this interview is a fanaticof mental illness.
He is tough at every turn, and uses knives and guns when he is not getting what he wants. He makes every action as if he is playing house, as if he can make the world surrender completely with a stick and a carrot. If it is so easy to do, why would the United Nations be needed? , wouldn¡¯t it be enough to let the president directly serve concurrently?
However, Cole could only think about these complaints in his heart, saying that he would never say them out loud, at least not in front of Dawn, because Dawn, who is conservative to a certain extent, cannot tolerate any compromise, otherwise it will I want to have a long debate with you.
If Cohen were a politician or a lawyer, he might actually be able to compete with Dawn. The problem is that he is just an ordinary commander on the hu-25d "Guardian" command patrol aircraft. He has sufficient judgment and more than enough rationality. However, he was not very talkative. How could he have ever done this with a pen like Dao En?
So he grinned: "There is no need to use such advanced aircraft and ships. Their cost per hour is sky-high. If it's Russia, that's it. A big country in the East let's forget it. A country that doesn't even have the strength of a regular navy." What do you think they can do about countries that don¡¯t have as good a coast guard as ours?¡±
Cole didn't say much. In fact, he just said one sentence, which is to kill a chicken with a cleaver. In fact, this is indeed the case. Another nickname of the Coast Guard is the Second Navy, which is stronger than the regular navy of most countries. .
??Including the naval force of a certain big country in the East.
Because the Coast Guard is stronger than the navy of a large Eastern country in all aspects except submarines. Regardless of other aspects, take the USS Rush, which is preparing to visit the Yangtze River Delta this time. It has a displacement of more than 3,000 tons, which is comparable to that of a large Eastern country. The main surface ship 051 destroyer belongs to the same class.
But technically, the 051 is downgraded, because this "Hamilton" class patrol ship has used advanced shipboard equipment such as gas turbines, ship combat command centers, data links, computer processing centers, and shipborne helicopters. Compared with this, Bi051 can only be regarded as a younger brother.
With the existence of such a crushing battleship, it can only be used as a third-line patrol ship in a large country outside the region. It is not an exaggeration to describe the gap as vast.
Ships are like this, let alone aircraft. They are not only beaten, but also crushed.
Dawn liked these remarks about her own strength, so after listening to Cole's words, she also felt that it made sense. The Coast Guard, which was half military and half civilian, could crush it. This was the best display of strength in itself, so the depression in her heart gradually disappeared. A smile finally appeared on the skinny face: "What you said makes sense, so I hope this time can teach them a lesson. A country that is not even as good as the second navy should be unconditionally dominated. This is iron-clad Principleeh? The other party is in charge of this"
Just when Dawn was about to set the tone, the indicator light of the international communication station on the screen suddenly flashed. Cole clicked the connection without paying attention, but the words of the air traffic controller at the next moment made the careless Cole completely stunned. The person was as if struck by thunder, and his whole body froze:
"hu256817 please continue to drive along 126 degrees 22 minutes east longitude, 24 degrees 55 minutes north latitude, altitude 10,000 meters, and speed Mach 0.75. Please do not deviate from the route to avoid unnecessary air accidents."
