    Washington, Oval Office, White House.

    President Reagan was anxiously looking at the various intelligence compiled by the CIA, feeling that God had made a big joke on him. The TV in his office was broadcasting sensational news.

    "This serious terrorist attack killed three people in the Chinese diplomatic mission, including a deputy director-general of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a secretary and a bodyguard, and injured 27 people, including Chinese Foreign Minister Wu  Xuejian himself. After learning of the incident, China expressed great indignation and condemnation, and demanded an explanation from South Korean officials, otherwise China will take all necessary measures to punish the perpetrators"

    Vice President Bush used the remote control to turn off the TV and threw it on the sofa. He looked at Reagan with a stern face and said, "Obviously, the Chinese are really angry."

    Defense Secretary Weinberg did not expect that another meeting on the same issue would be held in the same place so soon. He also felt quite troubled by the contradiction between China and South Korea. On the one hand, South Korea is a "semi-colony" of the Eagle family; on the other hand,  China is a strategic partner they urgently need to win over, because a small incident eventually led to a bigger incident, making the United States feel baffled and helpless.

    CIA Director William Casey also frowned and reported to the president: "Your Excellency, China must be really angry this time. They can't even wait for their wounded to be treated in South Korea. Maybe they are afraid of those radical ethnic groups."  Terrorist terrorists will launch terrorist attacks against Chinese diplomatic missions again. They have already killed a deputy director. If the foreign minister is also in South Korea, it is inevitable that China will not declare war on South Korea."

    Reagan was angry. He stood up from the throne: "Declaration of war? This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in my life! Because the defection of an old bomber ultimately involved so many things, and even pulled us together.  Into a war?"

    Just as he was roaring in the Oval Office regardless of his image, a CIA intelligence agent walked in and handed Director Casey a note. Casey frowned even more and said to Reagan: "Your Excellency, the situation is normal.  Taking the worst, the Chinese Navy has dispatched an aircraft carrier battle group that has set sail from the Bohai Sea and is expected to arrive off the coast of Incheon this evening. "

    Weinberg¡¯s eyes almost fell out, and he said in disbelief: ¡°Aircraft carrier battle group? Are you kidding me? When did the Chinese have an aircraft carrier battle group?¡±

    Cassie admitted his failure and said: "This was our mistake, but we can't understand such a change. This news was conveyed to us by the Chinese on their own initiative. It seems that the Chinese are still somewhat sensible, and it should be within our tolerable range."  Go crazy inside. As for the aircraft carrier battle group, well, it should be an amphibious battle group to be precise. The amphibious assault ship is actually the Australian aircraft carrier Melbourne. Last year, the Chinese got the ship scrapping contract. Obviously they  Instead of dismantling her, she was turned into an amphibious assault ship"

    Weinberger was even more confused this time: "The Melbourne that once defeated two destroyers in half?"

    Cassie nodded yes.

    Weinberg shuddered and made a cold joke: "I guess our US Navy will refuse to participate in the battle when they hear it is this ship."

    No one can laugh in this atmosphere, not to mention the joke is not funny at all.

    Cassie continued: "The Chinese informed us that they did not believe in South Korea's security work, and were more worried that the South Korean government arranged this attack, so they sent an amphibious assault ship with complete medical equipment and would take care of themselves  The wounded were transferred to the amphibious assault ship."

    Reagan snorted and said, "If that's the case, just send a ship over. Why send a whole fleet?"

    Weinberg replied: "This is the Chinese wanting to show off their skills to their neighbors! However, it takes a few months to convert an abandoned aircraft carrier into an amphibious assault ship? Is this impossible?"

    Reagan said to Weinberg: "Immediately send an order to the Korean Command to send out a reconnaissance plane. We need to have first-hand information about the Chinese amphibious battle group fleet. Uh, we also need to inform the Chinese that the US military stationed in Korea is in  Escorting them is to cope with any unexpected adverse situation. We are willing to work with China to fight against violent terrorists. Mr. Schultz, please come forward in person to express your most sincere condolences to the victims in China and your condolences to the terrorists.  The harshest condemnation of the elements.¡±

    Weinberg and Schultz both said yes.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    It started to rain heavily on the Yellow Sea in autumn, and the roaring sea wind stirred up waves. The sea conditions were very high and not very suitable for navigation.  However, soldiers never fight only when the weather is good. When the country needs them, they must be there.

    This one has two?The battle group formation consists of a total of five warships. The core is naturally the amphibious assault ship 52 Hainan, which was modified from the Melbourne. The four surface ships escorting her are the Type 052A destroyers 112 Harbin, 166 Zhuhai, and Type 054A.  Frigates 525 Ma'anshan and 526 Wenzhou.

    According to the newly updated naval ship naming regulations, aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships are both first-class warships and are named after provincial administrative units, so they are named Hainan.  She has undergone a large number of modifications on the basis of the Melbourne. In addition to the repair shop repairing her hull condition, the closed structure of the bow hull has been added, and all domestic electronic equipment has been modified to protect the flight deck.  The high temperature and corrosion properties have been improved, and things like the ejector have also been removed.  The armament also removed all those Bofors and installed two 730-type close-in defense guns and two 18-unit Haihongqi-10 short-range air defense missiles.  The cabin and hangar space have been optimized to a certain extent, and it can carry up to 16 large and medium-sized helicopters. When performing air control missions, it can carry up to 12 J-8V Skua fighters and 2 Z-20H anti-submarine helicopters.

    This ship has not actually been officially commissioned yet. Most of the personnel operating on it are sailors recruited from the Red Alert Base. There are also more than 200 navy sailors and officers who are familiar with the ship's condition, including Zhang Juzuo.

    Zhang Juzuo, who was originally a research officer, never thought that he would one day become an officer commanding a combat ship. He was assigned to the air service control department. Although he was not a high-ranking officer, his training these days was particularly fulfilling.

    "It's just that Zhang Juzuo was fully waiting for this battleship to officially enter the navy, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was actually a piece of combat order.  More than 800 officers and soldiers on the ship, although they may not have fully mastered the warship, came to their respective combat positions with a highly concentrated mental state. Four J-8V Skua STOVL fighter jets that had not yet been officially stationed on the ship  They were rushed onto the warship, and the six Z-20s used for transportation were also fully prepared.  A large number of medical personnel were brought to the ship. Zhang Juzuo and his comrades immediately converted part of the cabin into an emergency hospital in accordance with the ship's operation manual.

    At this time, they all received their own instructions - to go to South Korea and use helicopters to bring back members of the Chinese diplomatic mission who were attacked by terrorists.

    A strong and urgent sense of mission surrounded Zhang Juzuo. At this time, he could roughly feel the mood of the naval soldiers who were ordered to face danger during the Xisha naval battle.

    Zhang Juzuo, who was directing everyone's preparations in the hangar, suddenly saw the captain of the Hainan ship, Colonel Tang Zuogang.  Zhang Juzuo felt that the captain, who was very friendly and courteous to others, still looked calm at this time, which Zhang Juzuo admired very much.

    The captain walked up to Zhang Juzuo, who quickly saluted.

    Tang Zuo just returned the salute, smiled slightly, and asked: "Aviation Officer, how are the preparations going?"

    "Reporting to the captain, everything is ready and the fighter planes can depart at any time."

    Tang Zuogang nodded and said: "Although in theory our mission this time is to take the wounded back to China, there is no great danger, but remember, only those who are prepared for all situations can win in any situation."

    "Yes, Captain!" Zhang Juzuo shouted.

    Tang Zuogang smiled slightly, turned around and went to express condolences to other personnel.

    The battleship cut through the wind and waves on the rainy sea and sailed inexorably towards its destination. Due to the bad weather, the American reconnaissance plane that was originally intended to set sail for reconnaissance did not appear on time at the head of this fleet.

    And far away in Zhongnanhai, the capital, there was Ping Taizong whose face was as gloomy as the one on the Yellow Sea.

    With things turning into what they are today, not only did Reagan feel impatient, but Ping Taizong also felt ridiculous.  And what shocked him the most was that Qi Yiming, who was in charge of the Red Alert Base, was also slightly injured in this terrorist attack. Although it was not serious, it still scared Ping Taizong and a group of veterans half to death.

    Chen Yunnian muttered: "When the kid comes back, put him under house arrest. Hey, we old men can afford to lose, but he can't afford to lose."

    Yang Dezhi shook his head and sighed: "Xiao Qi is a very energetic kid. You can't control him. But after going abroad, you should be less careful. In the past, he stayed in his own base and was surrounded by the army. There was no problem. Now  It¡¯s okay to go around the country, but things are going wrong abroad. I won¡¯t be able to ban him from going abroad in the future.¡±

    ?????????? Everyone said something to each other, all they said was to restrict Qi Yiming¡¯s personal freedom. Ping Taizong reluctantly showed a smile and said: "Haha, I hope this kid will learn from his mistakes."

    Zhang Aiping said: "For him to send out such a big show, we have sent out all the amphibious fleets that have not yet been trained. Is there any problem?"

    In fact, Navy Commander Liu Huaqing strongly opposes the dispatch of an amphibious fleet.Because the naval officers and soldiers are not yet fully familiar with the combat performance of the ship, they mainly rely on some red alert soldiers to support them in the main positions. The captain of the Hainan is also a red alert soldier.  The deeper factor is that Liu Huaqing is afraid that the little wealth he has finally saved will be lost.

    Sending an amphibious fleet was Ping Taizong¡¯s highest instruction. In addition to retrieving the wounded faster and more safely, it also had the intention of demonstrating strength.  This old man who once said "hide your capabilities, bide your time, and make a difference" as his will to the outside world, actually has a strong heart in his heart. In the past, he had no soldiers and no food in his hands. Now that he has the power to rely on, he will naturally use it to scare Xiao Xiao.  And let the world begin to face up to the power of the Eastern Dragon.
