The battle in the Mozambique Channel ended in less than an hour. In terms of battle damage ratio, the U.S. and NATO allied fleets sank 14 surface ships, shot down 6 military aircraft of various types, and had casualties/0. The Chinese Indian Ocean Fleet did not lose any ships, but lost 6 fighter aircraft and 3 casualties. Generally speaking, the US military suffered greater losses, and strategically, the US military failed to realize its strategic attempt to break through the Mozambique Strait, while the Chinese Indian Ocean Fleet successfully froze the US military in the narrow waters of the southwest Indian Ocean, ensuring its dominance in the larger waters of the Indian Ocean. force.
But basically, although the US fleet was damaged, its main force is still there. After replenishing fighter planes and a small number of ships, it can still launch a second Mozambique Strait battle to break through the Chinese navy's guard. Of course, the U.S. Navy can also choose to bypass Madagascar and enter the Indian Ocean from the direction of Reunion and Mauritius. However, this route does not challenge China's presence in East Africa and the Middle East. It can only try to connect routes with India, and may be attacked at any time. Harassment by the Chinese Navy.
Qi Yiming was not surprised when he learned the result of the battle in the Mozambique Channel, and there were no additional surprises. It is true that the US military and NATO allied fleets are larger, but China's Indian Ocean fleet has technological advantages, and the two sides are basically evenly matched.
When he received the battle report, he was at the nursing home for senior generals in Qingdao, chatting and drinking tea with veteran general Liu Huaqing. Qi Yiming was not very excited, but the old general couldn't control his excitement and clapped his hands excitedly.
"Good fight, good fight. Today's battle has demonstrated the majesty of our People's Navy and our morale. From now on, our Navy will have a solid record of tough battles. Any strong navy needs this." Endorsement of tough battles," Liu Huaqing said in a slightly trembling old voice, and his excitement was beyond words.
Since the Chinese Navy was established half a century ago, until today, its process from establishment to development and then to strength has actually been quite rapid. Naturally, it was only after Qi Yiming intervened with the power of the Red Alert Base in the mid-1980s that the Chinese Navy expanded from a second- and third-rate yellow water navy to the now powerful global blue water navy. For example, the earlier naval battles with KNT on the southeast coast and the Xisha naval battle were relatively small-scale water conflicts and were not noticed by the world. After the 1980s, the navy has experienced the Korean rebellion, the Nanyang War of Independence, the liberation of Taiwan, and the Russia-related war. Although the scale is not small, the opponents it faces are often much weaker than itself. Even if people have recognized China The Navy is an important naval force in the world, even second to the U.S. Navy, but it always feels like something is missing.
This world-famous and largest naval battle since World War II with the US military in the Mozambique Strait has completely paved the way for the Chinese Navy to enter the history list of the world's most powerful navies. Just like the British Imperial Navy defeated the Armada, three Anglo-Dutch Wars, and the Battle of Trafalgar, the German High Seas Fleet conducted a Battle of Jutland, and the U.S. Navy experienced the Battle of Guadalcanal and the Battle of Midway in World War II. It took many battles such as the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the Battle of Okinawa to finally make itself a world-class navy. Although today's battle in the Mozambique Channel did not completely bury the US fleet, it was a touchstone and rectified the name of China's People's Navy.
Qi Yiming made a pot of tea for Mr. Liu, served it in front of him, and said: "After all, our strength here is a little weak. If the Sichuan aircraft carrier battle group can be mobilized to participate in this battle, I am afraid that the US military will It¡¯s not a matter of losing as much as it is now.¡±
"It's pretty good. Fourteen surface ships, with a total tonnage of nearly 80,000 tons, were knocked out of more than 60 aircraft. And the most important thing is that their strategic purpose has not been achieved and they are still trapped there by us." Liu Huaqing said lightly. He took a sip of tea and said with a slight blush on his face.
Qi Yiming sighed: "I feel that after this defeat, the Americans may not be able to dampen their fighting spirit. Although they have consumed a lot, the US military may further increase its troops and attack us with stronger force. Blockade of the Mozambique Channel.¡±
"They can increase their troops, and we can also increase their troops. Moreover, time is on our side. If the US military does not open up the situation, we will have one day to continue to use troops in South Asia, forcing India to a dead end. India will collapse, and the United States will Even if they defeat us and enter the Indian Ocean, it will not make much sense unless they dare to mobilize more than one million troops to launch a landing operation in the South Asian subcontinent, and they must be prepared to continue to consume." Liu Huaqing was arrogant. He said, the iron bones of a soldier are heartbreaking.
Qi Yiming nodded and said: "However, this battle still exposed some of our problems. Compared with the US military's main focus on aviation, our naval development is actually more balanced. The aviation force is weaker than the United States. Of course, individually The quality of the pilots and the level of weapons and equipment are not bad, but we still suffered slightly in large-scale air battles. Although our battle losses this time were slightly lower than those of the Americans, the Americans actually dispatched more fighter planes than us. It¡¯s about 20%, so it shouldn¡¯t be too surprising to achieve such a battle loss ratio.¡±
Liu HuaqingNodding slightly in agreement, he immediately added: "I heard that the General Staff is planning a campaign to continue to force and compress the United States. The Navy also wants to completely dig out the US Fifth Fleet's foothold in the Middle East."
"Yes, the US military is now relying on Bahrain, and Bahrain does not have the ability to drive away the US military. At the same time, our efforts to win over Saudi Arabia are going to be successful and should be effective in the near future. By then, Saudi Arabia We will join our allied forces and cooperate with our troops in the Middle East and the Babylonian Army to invade Bahrain and completely drive the US military out of Bahrain. At the same time, our Sichuan aircraft carrier battle group will also encircle and strangle the remaining US fleet in the Persian Gulf. "Finally, we will achieve the goal of completely wiping out the U.S. Fifth Fleet, thus completely losing the U.S. military's ability to contain us from behind," Qi Yiming said in a sonorous tone.
"It's not an easy thing to convince Saudi Arabia to join us," Liu Huaqing asked.
Qi Yiming smiled slightly and said, "Have you heard of super plants?"
After all, Liu Huaqing is also a former member of the Military Commission, and he knows a lot about some of the country's secrets. He has also heard about the super plant that almost caused trouble back then, and now that the vast desert in the northwest has turned into a forest, even if the news is concealed No matter how good it is, legends about super plants are spreading. Not only among the powerful, but also among the people, there is an endless stream of explorers of super plants. There are also a large number of foreigners who come to China under various banners to think about it. To obtain samples of super plants, conduct research and copy them.
However, due to the technical protection carried out by the Black Technology Center, even though the large forests of super plants have been opened to a certain extent in the past two years, and even tourist forest parks have been built in some places, people cannot get some samples of super plants. Repot the plant. The reason is that the new generation of super plants has actually been re-modulated in their reproductive capabilities, making them unable to reproduce freely. Only with the technical support provided by the Black Technology Center, super plants will grow and reproduce on a large scale.
The famous super plants have made many countries very interested, including Saudi Arabia, where most of the country is covered by desert. If super plants can be introduced and a large area of ??Saudi Arabia can be converted into forests or even cultivated land, it will be huge. It is beneficial to the overall living environment of Saudi people, expands their living space, and will also change the current situation of water shortage in Saudi Arabia to a certain extent. It can be said that the role of super plants in Saudi Arabia will be subversive and revolutionary, so much so that the Saudi royal family almost went crazy when they learned that there was a chance to obtain such a thing.
When Saudi Arabia itself is more inclined to the SCO side, the super plant can be said to be an important bargaining chip. After being placed on the balance, Saudi Arabia is not far away from joining the Chinese side or even sending troops to participate in the war.
Liu Huaqing suddenly realized and said: "I am willing to take out such a thing. It seems that we have also spent a lot of money for this war.
Qi Yiming said: "Originally, things like this are used to transform the earth. In the future, this world will be dominated by us, and we will inevitably use similar things to continuously generate benefits, so it doesn't matter if we take them out early and later." The difference now is just maximizing the benefits we can get.¡±
Liu Huaqing nodded slightly and said: "With Saudi Arabia joining our side, the situation in the Middle East will be greatly improved. If the Fifth Fleet can be completely wiped out by us, then the road for the US military to enter the Indian Ocean will become increasingly bumpy. , I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s when they will consider expanding the battlefield and launching a global offensive against us.¡±
Qi Yiming hummed and introduced: "Now the Americans are actually making this idea. Even if they are making good progress in the Indian Ocean theater, there will be no pause in their deployment in other places. The main actions that can be clearly seen now are In Europe and the Asia-Pacific, the United States hopes to completely destroy several of our European allies, thereby protecting the stability of its European NATO allies and ensuring its own European interests. I am afraid that the US military in the Asia-Pacific is still a little hesitant. After all, this is our most important place. Where strong military deployment is located, the U.S. military¡¯s main plan at this stage is to stabilize its military presence in Japan, Ryukyu and the second island chain, and strengthen its military deterrence against us.¡±
"This world war has really exhausted the brain power of countless heroes and talents. I see that you have been very busy recently. I am afraid that the Strategy Bureau and the General Staff have produced no less than a million pages of materials these days." Liu Huaqing said with a smile.
Qi Yiming said modestly: "The main thing is that everyone is doing things, and I am actually very free."
Liu Huaqing did not comment on his modesty, and said: "You should be more prepared on your side. I don't know when it will be your turn. Although this battle was fought decisively, it is impossible for us not to murmur in our hearts. Ah, China, the United States, Britain and France have not yet used nuclear weapons, but when it comes to throwing nuclear bombs at each other, who knows what the earth will become."
Qi Yiming also knows that not only Liu Huaqing, but also from high-level officialsAlthough everyone among the people is supporting the country's war, the nuclear war has cast a shadow on everyone's mind. Although China and the United States have previously concluded an agreement on the control of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, neither side has diligently abided by such a piece of paper. Therefore, the possession of nuclear weapons and nuclear vehicles in both countries has increased year by year.
Taking China alone, China has more than 50,000 nuclear warheads. Although most of them are tactical nuclear warheads with relatively small yields, there are also nearly 20,000 nuclear warheads used for strategic strikes. Intercontinental missiles that can carry out attacks over tens of thousands of kilometers are directly calculated in units of thousands. Although the United States is slightly behind China in terms of total number, it is still enough to destroy the earth once or twice.
China also faced this kind of nuclear crisis during the war with Russia. However, after all, Russia was facing a civil war at that time. China completely eliminated Russia's nuclear arsenal through deliberate calculations and unintentional actions. At that time, Qi Yiming also penetrated Russia to a high degree. . In today's United States, although Qi Yiming also has information about a large number of nuclear arsenals, it is quite difficult to capture all of the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines.
"In this regard, dangers naturally exist. As long as there is a war, there are dangers. There is no point in being too aggressive. In order to prevent the US military from nuclear weapons attacks, we have also thought of many ways. The air defense forces of the Air Force have basically been deployed in large numbers. We are equipped with Hongqi-19, Hongqi-26 and other air defense missiles with anti-missile capabilities, and we have deployed sea-based and land-based air defense and anti-missile platforms in Central Asia, North Asia, the West Pacific and other regions to provide checks and balances for nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. The capabilities are relatively strong. At the same time, the anti-missile early warning network we have built over more than ten years has also taken shape. A large number of early warning radars and space-based early warning satellites can give us more reaction time to deal with these nuclear missiles. Haha, Even if a nuclear missile accidentally comes in, we still have things like the Iron Curtain and vacuum implosion bombs to save it. What's more, according to the principle of mutually assured destruction, if the United States dares to use a nuclear missile against us, we can Give them 10 more. As long as the United States has the courage to start a nuclear war, I can destroy everything the United States has built over more than two hundred years in one day."
Seeing that Qi Yiming still looked like a young man in his twenties, but with an amazingly domineering and confident temperament, Liu Huaqing couldn't help but smile and said: "Well, we are always reassured when you do things. Like you As the saying goes, war is inherently risky. Those who are afraid of war will never be able to win. Only bravery is the only way to win. If we are not mentally prepared to suffer losses, we will have no chance of success. You still see clearly on this point?
Qi Yiming smiled and waved his hands and said: "It is better not to lose if you can. Every inch of land and every population in our country is precious, and we have been struggling so far for all this."
Liu Huaqing pulled a stack of newspapers on the table. Although this is the Internet age, the old man is still quite conservative and is used to reading news through traditional media such as newspapers. He pointed to some newspapers and periodicals and said: "We think about them, fight and even sacrifice for them, but some people's foreign slave temperament still cannot be changed."
Qi Yiming glanced at those newspapers and knew what they were about. Some of the articles published in these newspapers are very right-leaning, which may be related to the fact that these newspapers themselves are relatively right-leaning. Although China has developed more smoothly in this dimension and is more open and enlightened on some major issues, the red system and some more traditional Chinese things have still been inherited and preserved. Maybe they all need reform, but it will not happen overnight. achievable.
In an era when the economy has developed greatly and many people have become rich and famous through various means, groups such as public intellectuals and "elites" have appeared unexpectedly. They make money from the Chinese people and are beneficiaries of the system, but they keep admiring foreign things. If they have any problems, they can escalate them to systemic problems and find some excuse to attack the government and the party. The degree of immorality is no worse than that of another plane.
The existence of the Internet has amplified some extreme remarks, and people also like to see these eye-catching things, so over a period of time, the influence of these has become greater and greater. When these people realized that they had attracted much attention and became somewhat famous, they began to intensify their moral integrity, and launched baseless attacks and promoted all kinds of right-leaning and idiotic remarks and concepts.
After the war broke out, this group even began to blatantly attack the party and the country, saying that China was militaristic and that the CP was inherently violent and wanted to subvert world peace. The greedy and ambitious CP had no regard for the prosperity, democracy and human rights of the free world, and wanted to use Use force to destroy the light in this world and bring about a "1984"-style horror world of totalitarianism and suppression of human rights.
Others claim that China is essentially a pink country controlled by the privileged class, and that this war has no justice at all, and is no different from other hegemonic countries competing for interests. The beginning of the war,It is the increasingly severe trade dispute between China and the United States. China desires greater interests, so it must wage a war to change the current situation of being squeezed out by the United States.
This argument is not particularly stupid, but it will strive for greater benefits for the country and people. It is attributed to the privileged classes in a few countries, and it constantly uses a few examples to exaggerate the extreme corruption of Chinese society and officialdom, and calls for We should learn from the "clean and efficient" systems and institutions of the West and turn a blind eye to the fact that the development of Western countries has suffered setbacks over the years while China has made a strong rise.
