- Looking at the USS China aircraft carrier in the distance, where the sea trial has been approaching perfection, Tian Adeng said in surprise: "President, the last sea trial of the USS China aircraft carrier has been a complete success."
Tang Jian was equally overjoyed and said: "In this way, the Pacific Fleet can go to the ocean to carry out air strikes. The vast ocean will not be able to restrict the attack radius of the Chinese Air Force. The Chinese aircraft carrier can carry out three-dimensional integration of the three services wherever it goes. Joint operations, the history of modern warfare has been rewritten, and a new type of combat method will appear in China."
Tang Jian turned to Wei Shijie and said: "In view of the importance of sonar and radar technology, I will order Ouyang Yanqing, President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to allocate special funds to establish an acoustics laboratory. Wei Shijie will obey the order."
"Yes, President" Wei Shijie straightened his back immediately
"After the establishment of the acoustic laboratory, I need you to spread radars all over the land of China within five years, build China's airspace into an iron wall, and prevent any aircraft from other countries from flying into China's airspace. At the same time, Sonar systems must be installed in major military ports along China's coast and in offshore waters, so that submarines from other countries will be disappointed. Finally, I want you to install sonar and radar on all ships of China's Pacific Fleet in the shortest possible time, so that the Pacific Ocean The fleet has countless pairs of clairvoyance and ears that can support the Pacific Fleet to gallop across the ocean invincibly. Can you do it?" Tang Jian said solemnly.
Wei Shijie raised his head high and replied seriously: "Promise to complete the tasks assigned by the president."
Tang Jian nodded with satisfaction and said to Tian Adeng: "Adeng, let the China aircraft carrier sail to the Pacific early tomorrow morning and anchor at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, ready for orders at any time."
"Yes, President" Adeng Tian was very excited. This China was built by him. It can be said to be the world's first aircraft carrier. If this aircraft carrier can show its power in the Pacific, then he, the builder, will naturally Will be very proud
Tang Jian said: "The six-month time limit agreed in the Treaty of Guam is about to come. Once the United States discovers that instead of evacuating Chinese nationals from Hawaii, the United States continues to send more troops to Hawaii, the Americans will inevitably wake up and the conflict between the two countries will end. Change, war is inevitable, so we must be prepared for battle and strike first to be stronger."
At this time, there were only two months left before the stipulated time in the Treaty of Guam. During this period, Wilson repeatedly urged why there were no signs of Chinese evacuation in Hawaii. While Tang Jian was talking to Wilson practiced Tai Chi while actively mobilizing troops and deploying heavy troops in Hawaii.
However, the Americans are not fools. They have already noticed the clues. Ye Zugui, who is stationed in Hawaii, has sent electricity back more than once, saying that the patrol fleet often encounters suspicious merchant ships while patrolling offshore. Because of the evacuation incident in Hawaii, Tang Jian The entire Hawaiian Islands was ordered to be under martial law. Only entry and exit were allowed. Merchant ships from other countries were strictly prohibited from approaching. Therefore, Tang Jian guessed that these suspicious merchant ships must be American intelligence agents in disguise.
Obviously, the United States has noticed something is wrong, which makes Tang Jian feel that time is running out. Once the Americans discover his plan, all opportunities will be lost. In future naval battles, the Chinese Pacific Fleet will definitely suffer heavy losses, so Tang Jian decided to speed up The pace and advance of the attack caught the Americans off guard.
At this time, Tian Adeng heard what Tang Jian said and asked: "Is the president planning to attack Luzon?"
Tang Jian nodded and said: "If we go to war with the United States in the Pacific, Luzon will be a sharp thorn in the rear of China. If we go to war with the United States, we must ensure that the route between Hawaii and the mainland of China is open. After all, it is far away. When fighting on the mainland, once the maritime supply line is threatened, the soldiers in front will be cut off from ammunition and food, and the battle will be extremely difficult. Only by ensuring that the route between Hawaii and the Chinese mainland is open, then the Chinese Pacific Fleet as far away as Hawaii will invade the United States in the future. The local army can have continuous supply support. However, the U.S. Far East Fleet in Luzon is a huge threat. Before officially starting a war with the United States, this spike must be pulled out and the United States eliminated. When the Far East Fleet goes to war with the United States, the rear of the battle line can rest easy."
Adeng Tian certainly understands this truth. Although the strength of the U.S. Far East Fleet is not strong compared to the Chinese Pacific Fleet, if this fleet is dedicated to harassing the route between Hawaii and the Chinese mainland, attacking troop transports and supply ship, then the consequences will be disastrous
"President, when will we take action?" Tian Aden asked
"We will take Luzon within ten days," Tang Jian said with a confident smile.

? 1912, Washington, USA, in front of the White House Square, the first president of the United States gave his inauguration speech
The 1912 U.S. presidential election was a fierce battle. The current U.S. President Taft wasThis time, Wilson was a hot candidate for president, and because his pacifism was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he won the support of the general public in the United States. The previous president, Roosevelt, broke away from the Republican Party and established a separate political party. Contest for the Presidency
The original Republican Party had more seats in Congress, and the Republicans were certain to win this presidential election. However, due to the split of the Republican Party, the votes in the Republican Party were divided between Taft and Roosevelt. Wilson, who was originally at a disadvantage, did not appear to have an advantage.
In the end, due to Wilson's outstanding performance in the Hawaii incident, he quelled the South China Sea crisis and peacefully recovered Hawaii, Wilson's reputation was at its peak in the country, and his public support rate also increased. In the end, both Taft and Roosevelt were unable to match it, and Wilson successfully fought his way out. He was elected as the 28th President of the United States
Before the inauguration ceremony in the White House Square, Wilson announced his declaration of inauguration while holding the Bible in his hand. On the square, spotlights kept flashing, and clouds of white smoke rose. News media from all over the world were recording This important moment in American history
Amid thunderous applause from the crowd, Wilson began to deliver his inaugural speech. The main content was basically how to inherit the American tradition, what policies to pursue, etc. During the free question time, a reporter from Time Magazine asked: "Dear Mr. President "We are about to take back Hawaii, but the Chinese government has yet to initiate the evacuation operation. What do you think? Will a war break out between the United States and China?"
Wilson smiled confidently: "We have signed the "Guam Treaty" with China. I believe this treaty is a declaration of peace. A few days ago, I have protested to the Chinese government about the delay in starting the evacuation of overseas Chinese from Hawaii, and China The answer is that when the time limit in the treaty is up, China will inevitably evacuate all overseas Chinese. Therefore, what I want to say is that peace has always lingered in the democratic land of the United States, and with the current military strength of the United States, "It is extremely unwise for China to make excessive actions at this time. Therefore, I believe that the United States and China have decided that it is impossible for a war to break out."
"Pop!" Another spotlight flashed, just in time to freeze Wilson's confident smile. Three days later, Wilson's smiling photo appeared on the cover of the famous American magazine "Times", "America will live in peace." "This sentence is printed below the photo
South China Sea, Scarborough Shoal
A Chinese aircraft landed safely on the airport that has been built on Huangyan Island. On the apron, senior naval generals of the Chinese South China Sea Fleet were lined up on both sides. On one side, there was also a group of pilots wearing air force uniforms. The leader was Colonel Jiang Junyi of the Chinese Air Force
The plane's cabin opened. After Tang Jian got off the ramp, he didn't say any more polite words, but asked directly: "Are you all ready?"
Sa Zhenbing took a step forward, performed a military salute, and replied: "Reporting to the President, all the ships of the Chinese Navy's South China Sea Fleet have been prepared and are ready for orders at any time."
Jiang Junyi took a step forward, also performed a military salute, and replied: "Reporting to the President, the Second Flying Group of the Chinese Air Force is ready and ready for orders at any time."
Tang Jian nodded slightly, walked into the temporary headquarters on Huangyan Island with everyone, and began to make specific arrangements for the upcoming military operation
It¡¯s night, Luzon, Manila Port
The lights are bright in the Manila Port. Except for a small number of warships of the U.S. Far East Fleet that are out on missions, most of the warships are quietly moored in the Manila Port. This is the largest port in Luzon. There are many masts on each pier in the port. The hull of the ship is distinct, and the ferocious muzzle points slantingly at the night sky.
In a jungle five kilometers away from the Manila Port, a large number of black shadows began to slowly sneak towards the Manila Port. There were black shadows in the jungle. When counted, there were thousands of them. These people were all in the jungle. The descendants of Lanfang who have successfully sneaked into Luzon in the past few months will cooperate with the Chinese army, navy and air force to seize Manila Port and then control the entire Luzon Island.
At this time, a villa in the Manila port was full of guests, and the guests frequently raised their glasses. In the sound of elegant music, some officers wearing U.S. Navy and Army uniforms each danced on the dance floor with their arms around a graceful Western woman.
This villa is the residence of Commander Brand of the U.S. Far East Fleet. Today is the inauguration day of President Wilson. Brand specially ordered the entire military to take a three-day holiday. Tonight, he hosted a banquet for senior military officers in his villa. this time party
After the negotiations between President Wilson and China, China's South China Sea Fleet has converged a lot, which makes Brand very happy. As long as it takes a few more months, he can say goodbye to this damn Luzon Island.Ladd raised a goblet and clinked it with a major: "Cheers"
At this moment, there was a vague roar in the night sky. Brad listened intently, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "It's a big deal."
