Spark

In an island country, in a staff headquarters of the Self-Defense Forces.

Version An Xiong frowned and looked at the people in the conference room who bowed their heads like quails and wanted to get angry, but didn't know what to say for a while.

Blame the staff?

No, they didn't make any mistakes. It can even be said that they have made the best decision within the limits of their abilities and powers.

Withdrew from the exercise, withdrew from the conflict zone, and left a ship to do the last fight.

It not only guaranteed the safety of its own side to the greatest extent, but also made the final fight for that important island.

Blame Hideo Fukuda?

Don't make trouble, he is the most heroic person in this incident. Even at the last moment before the impact, the May Rain did not slow down.

The reason why he will suffer, in the final analysis, is that his ship's tonnage is too small.

Otherwise, it is really possible for him to seriously injure 052D and delay the opponent's progress.

As for blaming the US?

Give version An Xiong a hundred guts, but he doesn't dare to do it.

——

Although they are indeed the biggest culprits, although in this incident, they did not show any qualities that an ally should have at all.

It's okay if the missile warning information is not synchronized. After all, this is high-level military intelligence information. Before making a basic judgment, it is understandable not to synchronize.

But the problem is that after the incident, the US even kept their follow-up response plan and attitude secret.

This also caused the island country to make a major misjudgment of the situation, and lost a destroyer, which can be called the main combat force, in vain.

After that, all the negotiations with the US side were perfunctorily dismissed by the other side with the reason that "the turret is being studied and judged", and it was only at this time that the version of Anxiong finally came to his senses.

The other two of the three parties must have reached some kind of consensus in private.

However, as an important participant in the incident, our own side was directly excluded.

It was a great shame, he felt like a dog, being led out to bark when its master needed it.

And once it is no longer needed, it will be kicked away, and even a bone will not be given as a reward.

But so what? No matter how well he thought about it, it was impossible for him to command his own army and jump up to bite the opponent back.

——

Although it seems that our side does have this opportunity.

At this moment, the version of An Xiong's mood was inexplicably shaken, and he even thought "it's okay to try it".

But he soon regained his senses.

After all, such a decision is not something I am qualified to make.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said:

"At this point, it doesn't make sense to hold anyone accountable."

"We can no longer expect them to rely on us if they want to fight for our rights."

Hearing his words, everyone in the audience fell silent.

Version An Xiong probably doesn't know, everyone's first reaction is the same at the moment.

"On their own"?

How do you rely on yourself? Relying on a few destroyers whose tonnage is less than half of the opponent's, relying on superficial helicopter carriers, and relying on missiles whose equivalent is less than a fraction of the opponent's?

Wishful thinking is not enough to describe such confidence

Seeing that there was no reaction from the crowd, Anxiong's expression became more severe, but after a long silence, his tone finally softened.

"...I'm not saying that we have to counterattack accordingly."

"Actually, I also know that this is an impossible goal to achieve in the short term."

"So, my request is that all combat units maintain vigilance to the greatest extent and do a good job in offshore defense."

"Although I believe that Huaxia's goal is only that island, not our mainland, but we have to prepare for possible unexpected situations."

"As for the so-called counterattack, leave it to other departments."

After the voice fell, everyone present understood what he meant.

The military has already given up, and the next "conflict" will probably be limited to "swords and swords".

Chiwei Island "Ruins".

The aircraft carrier formation has successfully arrived at Chiwei Island waters and established a line of defense here.

Luan Yijun looked at the deep blue pit in the middle of the circular reef, and said with some emotion:

"The development of modern weapons has begun to gradually exceed the scope of my understanding."

"It's no wonder the opponent is so terrified. I guess any soldier who has observed the damage effect of the explosion at close range will be shocked by it."

Cao Gangchuan's expression on the side was equally serious. Although the data monitored at the test site had already confirmed to them the power of YJ-21H, or metal hydrogen explosives, the shock brought by the data on paper and aerial images was still far away. Far less than witnessing in person at the moment.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to gesture the depth of the crater, and then said:

"According to this crater, the data collected before does not have any moisture."

"Unfortunately, the number is too small, only two rounds."

Hearing his words, Luan Yijun shook his head helplessly, and replied:

"So, that's the biggest problem."

"For metal hydrogen bombs to form a deterrent, it must be established under the premise that the number is within a certain threshold."

"Too much will not work. If there are too many, it will directly become a category of nuclear weapons."

"But too little and it's not enough to deter."

"This deterrence is still too weak. In the future, the biggest pressure may still be on domestic technical personnel and intelligence personnel."

"How to expose the 'just right' production capacity, it is estimated that they need to work hard."

"really."

Cao Gangchuan nodded approvingly.

In the past period of time, he has communicated more with technicians than he has combined in the decades since he joined the army. Through these exchanges, he gradually understands that the future battlefield may no longer be a battlefield where tactics are paramount. .

In other words, tactics are indeed the first, but technology will become the base of tactics. If tactics and technology cannot be integrated, one will inevitably fall into a passive position on the battlefield.

At the same time, the key to victory or defeat is no longer the battlefield itself. The old saying, "Soldiers that win without fighting" has become more and more true today.

And the real gunfire conflicts will only happen in the punitive wars between the big countries and the small countries, and the melee between the small countries.

——

Of course, that doesn't mean they don't have to do anything.

In fact, for this fleet, the most important thing at present is to achieve actual control over this place.

And to do this, the first thing is to

flag.

...

More than an hour later, the aircraft carrier gradually approached, the landing craft was lowered, and Cao Gangchuan and Luan Yijun landed for the first time on this island that had been lost for hundreds of years.

Looking at the fortifications built on the island, Luan Yijun couldn't help laughing:

"You said, should we thank them now?"

"Without the roads they built, it would not be so easy for us to go up the mountain."

Cao Gangchuan sneered and replied:

"It's not something I repaired by myself. It feels disgusting to step on it. When the Sky Whale fleet comes over another day, it will shovel all these things."

"...You are fighting spirit."

Luan Yijun climbed up the steps step by step, and as the altitude rose, his sight gradually widened.

After climbing to the highest point, he subconsciously looked around and found the direction of due east.

"That's our mainland."

"Unfortunately, from this angle, you can't see anything at all."

"But I know it's there."

"Wherever we go, it's there."

Commander Luan Yi let out a long breath, and after a long pause, he continued:

"Today, there should be a lot of people's eyes on this island."

"In ancient times, there were wolves who lived in Xuxu. Today, shouldn't we also regard planting flags as the highest pursuit?"

Hearing his words, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Cao Gangchuan's mouth.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then, Luan Yijun took the flag that had been prepared from the guards on the side.

The sea breeze whizzed past, and the steel flagpole was inserted into the crack of the rock fiercely, splashing a fleeting spark.

Cao Gangchuan took a step back, and following his movements, all the soldiers present, and even the soldiers on the ships in the distance, raised their right hands.

Luan Yijun straightened his waist, and the next second, his right hand suddenly rose upwards.

A touch of red bloomed between the clear sea and sky.
