Even within the Clinton cabinet, there is great controversy over whether to send troops.
Secretary of State Warren, Treasury Secretary Bentson and others do not advocate that the United States adopt extreme measures of force, because obviously the consequences of the recent use of force by the United States are not very good, and what Clinton needs to focus on after taking office is to change the Bush administration. In the face of the sluggish economic situation in the United States, to fulfill its political promises and launch a hasty war will not only be very costly, but may also drag down the energy and vision of domestic economic development.
However, military figures such as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Powell are trying their best to lead the war. This is not incomprehensible. The arrogance of American soldiers makes them hope to achieve greater success on the battlefield to balance China's increasing influence around the world. The stronger the military influence.
Some pessimistic views believe that if this momentum continues to develop, it is very likely that in four or five years, countries around the world will only know China's iron fist, but not the arrogance of the United States. Therefore, the powerful groups in the US military are actively looking to a war to vindicate themselves and tell everyone who is the strongest army in the world.
Bill Clinton himself also prefers a limited-scale war to fuel his election and prove that he is far better than his predecessor Bush Sr. In addition, the U.S. military-industrial complex also wishes that the U.S. would send them money every year when it goes to war, further fueling the war.
Defense Secretary Les Aspin proposed such a plan, sending an aircraft carrier battle group to conduct air strikes on the Shining Path in Peru to defeat the rampant communist armed forces in a non-contact war. Even if the Shining Path cannot be completely eliminated, such a disaster will greatly weaken the Shining Path, which will give the battered government forces a chance to breathe, re-arm them, and counterattack the Shining Path.
This line finally made all parties agree, and the American war machine began to rumble again. Three U.S. aircraft carriers, the USS Constellation, the USS Nimitz, and the USS Carl Vinson, have entered combat readiness. As long as Clinton signs the presidential decree, these three aircraft carriers will dump 10,000 tons of ammunition into Peru. On the other hand, the U.S. military base group in Panama, the closest U.S. military overseas base to Peru, has also begun preparations for an attack on Peru. At the most important Howard Air Force Base, a large number of U.S. military B15F fighters and B6 bombers have been stationed, ready to attack at any time. look.
At the same time, the public preparedness of the United States to send troops has further increased. Some Western media with no professional ethics have begun to exaggerate the cruelty and injustice of the Shining Path, using some far-fetched photos from unknown sources, and even directly writing The story was fabricated in the style of a novel to arouse the indignation of Americans and people from other countries, and to remove the obstacles of public opinion for sending troops.
Qi Yiming was not particularly worried about the frequent actions of the United States. He was originally trying to adjust the situation. The Americans actually dispatched three aircraft carrier battle groups and a large number of air force fighters to launch air strikes against Peru. He would have made a profit. arrive. Moreover, the Shining Path was originally an armed force transformed from the guerrillas. Although an air attack by the US military may cause serious losses, they can also be broken into parts.
Just like Wu Qixuan and his Makena People's Commune, they hid in the mountains when they were desperate. The Americans could not maintain uninterrupted bombing for hours and hours. In the end, the Americans would find that the non-contact operations they had hoped for might not be able to deal with some government organizations. OK, because they can't escape. But when dealing with rebel organizations like the Shining Path, they are so single that they will simply run away if they can't be beaten, and they will come out again after the US military leaves.
¡°Moreover, Qi Yiming will not watch the US military launch large-scale air strikes on the Shining Path and let the forces he supports be bombed in vain. It is impossible for him to provide complete sets of medium and long-range air defense systems to Shining Path, because the source of these things is too easy to trace, and it is difficult to shirk blame. However, Qi Yiming can wholesale them in large quantities for individual air defense missiles.
China's Feinu, Avantgarde and other shoulder-launched individual air defense missiles have become more and more popular with the outside world in recent years. They are simple in design, but have high technical content, good accuracy, and good maintainability. The most important thing is the price. They are not expensive, and some countries are ordering thousands of these missiles from China. And many of these missiles have also flowed into the hands of illegal organizations through various channels.
In fact, even the Americans have purchased a batch of Chinese individual air defense missiles to study the technical level of the Chinese, and sometimes use them to support the countries they want to support. When this kind of thing is used on the battlefield, it is difficult to blame the Chinese. The most we can do is say sourly that the arms trade is irresponsible.
In addition to Qi Yiming¡¯s plan to supply individual air defense missiles to Peru¡¯s Shining Path, Qi Yiming also provided hundreds of old anti-aircraft guns of different calibers to Peru. Although the technical content of this weapon is not high, as air defense technology advances rapidly today, its reliability and stability will never fade away in the military.
pLA The battlefield air defense used by today's field troops is basically self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery and is an integrated artillery and artillery unit.The Hongqi-17 armor-like air defense system has been widely equipped, and a large number of 37mm and 57mm anti-aircraft guns, a small number of which are used for fixed base air defense, and others, even towed ones, are no longer in service. Hundreds of these anti-aircraft guns were towed by Qi Yiming and transported to Peru by fishing boats, specially selected for deployment in relatively important defensive areas. Wu Qixuan even deployed these anti-aircraft guns on the possible routes of the US military, hiding in some mountainous areas, making it more difficult for US military aircraft to attack and also increasing their navigation risks.
Naturally, even with anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft guns, it is still impossible to resist large-scale air strikes by the US military, so the main combat mission should be to reduce its own losses. On the one hand, Wu Qixuan coordinated the transfer of important units of the Makena People's Commune to mountains and away from important big cities. Some important industrial facilities have also set up air defense regulations. Once a situation arises, workers and other people here will be relocated immediately.
Of course, the most important thing is to stabilize the mood of the Peruvians on the territory. Of course they will be afraid of the US attack, which may have an adverse impact on the rule of the People's Communes. Therefore, the political organization department of the people's communes began to publicize countermeasures among the people and appease the public's emotions. At the same time, they instilled hatred for U.S. imperialism and called on everyone to share the hatred. In addition, this fire can also be burned on the head of the official government and induce foreign forces to invade their own country. This kind of behavior is naturally shameful. I believe that after this incident, those who still have hope for the official government will be at their lowest point.
The ambitious Wu Qixuan also had his own little calculation. He privately said to his confidant Suarez: "This US military intervention is actually a very good opportunity. The US military is tied up and has determined that it will not use ground troops to participate in the war. This is It means that it is absolutely impossible for the Americans to kill us all, and the government forces will never succeed. Even if we have the support of the Americans, we will still have the help of powerful forces. If we continue to fight, everyone with a discerning eye will know that we will achieve the final victory. Victory is a matter of time.
The main target of the US military's attack is obviously Guzman and his main forces. The main forces of the Shining Path armed forces surrounding the capital of Lima that threaten the official government will inevitably suffer the most severe blows, and our group at the southern border I am afraid that people will not receive extra attention. With this opportunity, Guzman's direct power will be weakened, and we will be relatively stronger. The great cause of leading the entire people's democratic revolution will eventually fall on on our shoulders"
Suarez also thought this was a good opportunity, but he frowned and said: "But what if Guzman is severely hit and turns around and comes to our territory to dominate?
Wu Qixuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he sneered slightly: "These days must be fierce, and there are US military bombs everywhere. Maybe Chairman Guzman was unfortunately attacked and killed by the US military during the journey"
This meaning is also very obvious. Suarez was surprised at first, but then he also felt that this was the best solution. Wu Qixuan is a restless and lonely man, and he is also a man who is unwilling to be inferior to others. A real man cannot be without power for a day. If Guzman really comes to their territory, then Wu Qixuan will only have a way out.
Qi Yiming actually doesn't really care how Peru fares. He is like a superb chess player. On this big chessboard with latitude and longitude around the world, he seems to make random moves, but in fact he has ulterior motives. He mobilizes Let the US power move around and put its energy in those places. When it really starts to launch, the Americans will be in trouble if they want to turn the gun.
The United States is like a teenager who likes to show off and is tall and strong. Sometimes his strategies seem very superb, but many times he also seems extremely childish. Coupled with his particularly obvious personality, Qi Yiming allows Qi Yiming to control the actions of the United States. Become more relaxed and freehand.
This young man is very energetic, and he especially wants others to focus on him, so he shows off his handsomeness and strength everywhere, like a proud peacock, but one day his energy will be lost. If he is exhausted, then he will know that the person in the world who is capable of accomplishing great things is not just a man who is easily broken and will turn things to the extreme. At that time, the troubles in the United States will break out.
In another dimension, this concentrated outbreak occurred after 213. In this dimension, China¡¯s strength is rising rapidly, and Qi Yiming also intends to control it. The premature fatigue and collapse of the United States may be greatly advanced.
