The incident of Chinese military planes entering South Korean airspace to pursue defected bombers shocked the world as expected, but in a particularly weird way - China surrendered.
The Information Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held its first press conference just a few days after its opening. Qian Qishen, the new spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and also the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, had not yet figured out what the matter was. , immediately spoke on behalf of the ¡°country responsible for the incident¡±, the PRC.
"The following is a statement to all parties about the incident: This morning, an H-5 bomber from Jikong suddenly deviated from the training airspace during training and interrupted communications. The headquarters of an aviation division in Jikong immediately took off. Two fighter jets intercepted, but because the distance was too far, the defecting bomber escaped into South Korea. At this time, without asking for instructions from his superiors, an aviation division commander ordered two fighter jets to enter South Korea's airspace and search for the defecting military aircraft. When the South Korean military aircraft intercepted, in order to protect themselves, two Chinese fighter jets counterattacked, during which the South Korean side suffered certain losses.
Later, after it was determined that the mission could not be completed, the two Chinese fighter jets returned and were pursued by South Korean fighter jets. In order to protect our fighter planes, the responding fighters shouted to the South Korean side. However, the Korean side ignored our explanation out of excitement and attacked our receiving fighter planes. Our fighter planes were forced to counterattack and caused certain losses to the Korean side. "
"Our country deeply regrets and apologizes for the losses suffered by the Republic of Korea. We admit that the main responsibility for this accident lies with us, and it is the humanitarian tragedy caused by Air Force Commander Cha Yong-shin who issued unreasonable combat orders without authorization In this regard, our country promises to South Korea that the perpetrators will be severely punished, and at the same time expresses sincere apologies and condolences to the families of the victims, and is willing to help and compensate the families of the victims to the best of its ability We are willing to work with South Korea to safeguard the Northeast Asia Peace makes efforts to solve the above problems through consultation and dialogue, and prevent a similar world from happening again"
No one would have thought that Tianchao would lower his body so low and have such a wink. According to international law, there is no doubt that it was China that made the mistake. However, before the victim could react, China unexpectedly jumped out and slapped itself in the face, saying that it had done something wrong and asking for everyone's forgiveness.
Regardless of what happened, the international community¡¯s reaction to China¡¯s resignation was relatively positive.
Washington, White House.
Reagan, the leader of the Eagle Family, had a brief operation a few days ago that allowed George W. Bush to serve as president for eight hours. However, not long after his return, he discovered that the Chinese, who were steadily becoming America's new ally, had stabbed another big person. basket.
Secretary of State Shultz sorted out various confidential and unconfidential information sent from the embassy in China and said: "The Chinese are very smart this time. It seems that it is indeed what they said. This was an accident. The commander who issued the order to enter South Korea¡¯s airspace without authorization has been put under control and may face serious punishment next.¡±
During his tenure, Reagan was famous for his toughness towards the Soviet Union. His China policy was generally ambiguous. He was a strong conservative anti-communist. However, in the later period, he used pragmatism to guide his relations with China. He even visited China last year. And a lot of work has been carried out, such as including China as a friendly non-ally, so that a series of military products such as Black Hawk can be exported to China.
The charismatic president said: "But the Chinese made mistakes and had no intention of repenting. They entered Korean airspace but failed to accept an emergency landing in accordance with normal management, which ultimately led to a tragedy."
Secretary of Defense Weinberg smiled and said: "Mr. President, with all due respect, no air force with a sense of honor will accept an emergency landing from another country, even if they are unreasonable. We can understand it if we think about it. For example, we After entering Cuban airspace, will we accept an emergency landing from Cuba?¡±
Schultz smiled and agreed: "Of course not, we will throw thousands of pounds of explosives at them."
Reagan laughed and seemed not to care about South Korea's losses at all, saying: "But we are the United States, and they are just communist rats."
Schultz was still very patient and said: "Mr. President, after analysis by multiple think tanks, we have concluded that as long as China is allowed to continue their pace of opening up a market economy, it will not take long before the CPC will face a gradual Under the pressure of the rising propertied class, they have to decentralize power, and at that time their power will gradually weaken, until one day, a new Chinese, democratic government will emerge and finally liquidate the CPC. That will happen then China will be no different than us."
Reagan curled his lips and said: "Well, a democratic country with complex domestic problems, serious conflicts between various ethnic groups, and a penchant for internal strife will greatly suppress the power they can generate, and become an excellent market for our United States and follow our global strategy. shakeFlag bearer. "
Schultz nodded and said: "So, we should focus on winning over and guiding China, rather than dealing with them the same way we dealt with the Soviet Union. What's more, I think the Chinese are more generous in this matter. During their convening Before the press conference, we were notified of what happened in advance. This is a good phenomenon. At least in the minds of the Chinese people, we need a responsible party to explain. Our attitude is important, and they need to be responsible. We care enough.¡±
Reagan showed a satisfied smile and said: "So, you mean we try to deal with this matter as coldly as possible?"
Today, South Korea is still ruled by a military government, with Chun Doo-hwan, who was tried by later generations, as president. In order to hold on to power, Chun Dou-hwan obeyed the words of the United States. Therefore, what Chun Dou-hwan's government meant was of no value at all. How to deal with it was still up to the American godfather.
Air Force Secretary Russell Locke took the opportunity to speak: "Everyone, I want to remind everyone that although we need to win over China, the power shown by the Chinese this time is really incredible. They used two fighter planes. They shot down 8 F-4s and F-5s, and then the second echelon of fighters shot down 7 more F-4s and F-5s, but they didn't lose a single fighter plane. What does this mean? The technical level of the Chinese Air Force has improved to the point where it is, at least in the Asia-Pacific region, the strongest force besides us. Even pessimistically speaking, if their numbers can be guaranteed to be sufficient, we cannot even guarantee that we can absolutely suppress them. "
Everyone's originally optimistic expressions had faded away, and Reagan asked him seriously: "Are our F-15s and F-16s unable to fight against Chinese fighter jets? Are you kidding? If the Chinese are really that powerful, Why are you willing to spend billions of dollars on Grumman¡¯s F-14?¡±
Locke said: "Maybe they want to learn more, or their own fighters are still imperfect. There are many possibilities, and I can't predict them. But I need to remind you gentlemen, from the rapid development of the Chinese army , it is foreseeable that they will at least grow into a strong regional military presence, not just an army with a sea of ????people, but now they are also committed to high-tech war equipment, which we previously predicted would be a decade. The chaos did not have much impact on them. On the contrary, they have made certain breakthroughs in some fields. I saw a report submitted by Grumman before. Grumman wanted to obtain their missile technology from China. Electronic component technology, etc. This shows that in these fields, they are even further ahead than we are.¡±
Vice President George H.W. Bush once served as Charge d'Affaires in China, and he is the person with the most say. He said: "I don't particularly understand why they can still burst out with such power after experiencing such a chaos. Maybe China is a worthy opponent. Maybe our China policy should work harder and expand to other aspects. For example, the Chinese are very smart. I remember that many of our country¡¯s Nobel laureates are of Chinese descent, including the Manhattan Project and Apollo. Chinese people are involved in all plans. We should strengthen the absorption of Chinese talents, especially now. Only by mastering talents and high technology can we dominate the future. At the same time, it is also necessary to have further friendship with China. They need it. We need money, experience, and technology. We can each get what we need and strengthen alliances. This is an effective containment for the Soviet Union. We will also use this opportunity to understand the Chinese better and adjust more flexible strategies to deal with them. Contain a country that threatens to curb our world leadership."
Several important members of the cabinet agreed, and Schultz added: "The long-term strategy is like this, but this time, I suggest that we should take advantage of China, but we must also exercise discretion. It is said that people in this country They have particularly sensitive national pride, and it would be bad if it backfires and creates anti-American sentiment in their country.¡±
Reagan smiled and said: "This is not easy. Let the Koreans take the lead and denounce them."
Bush shook his head and said: "The effect will not be very good. Militarily, China has overwhelmed South Korea. Now it is obvious that South Korea cannot get any benefits from them just by relying on its own strength. Therefore, it is impossible without our mediation, but we intervene." If you go in, it will be easy to cause trouble. Well, no matter what, let the two sides sit down and talk. It is impossible for the lion to open his mouth, but at least it must be accepted by South Korea and us. "
Reagan nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Schultz, please ask your subordinates to issue a strictly worded statement without any positional statement. It is basically to ask both parties to exercise restraint, express regret for the incident, and express regret for the incident." South Korea expresses condolences, welcomes China¡¯s positive attitude of acknowledging its mistakes, and hopes that the two sides will resolve this dispute through peaceful negotiations.¡±
