Chapter 1052: Some children are not well behaved
The South Jiaozhi people who made the suggestion said it very logically: "They don't have the energy, time, or willingness to get deeply involved in our affairs. Moderately deepening the conflict between Dongda and us will help stimulate the Citi people, deepen their sense of crisis, and get them to get deeply involved. Don't forget that we have Crystal Blue Bay, which is very important to them."
This is not entirely unreasonable. At least we have no interest in directly participating in the affairs of Jiaozhi. Moreover, for the Americans, Crystal Blue Bay is indeed the last lock that locks us. At the same time, it can also play a complete blockade role for the Russians who want to support their Far East through sea.
"But the power of Master Dong is too great for us." Some people were tempted, but at the same time they were hesitant.
"I admit that we have no chance of fighting them on land, but what about at sea? They are not strong at sea. Most of their forces are tied up by Angelica Island, so they can't spare much. Moreover, their main equipment is the same as ours, which are artillery ships. Our training is better than theirs! Our soldiers have gone through more war tests and have more experience."
If Gao Zhendong were here, he would probably die of laughter.
The "training theory" and the "experience theory" were the last straws that the enemies grasped at decades later. The emperor's new clothes on them are now being used by you?
The problem is that it's just noobs fighting each other. What does playing 10,000 games in the bronze league have to do with fighting against the king? Can the posture of death be more beautiful?
"Moreover, this will distract Dongda from his duties, so that they won't have time to care about other things, or be more cautious about supporting the North. At the same time, this will make the entire Southeast Sea area wary of him, further worsening their environment, restricting their actions, and giving us a chance to catch our breath."
This is the most poisonous place, and they want to drag the whole of Southeast Asia into it.
However, the timing of this matter is still a little too early.
But for the people of Jiaozhi, the prospect of this matter was so good that they didn't even mind taking a gamble.
This is their characteristic. When they are dogs, they are obedient, but if they have the chance, they don't mind biting their masters by any means.
"I agree."
"Yes, it's time to teach Master Dong a lesson!"
"We should let the people of Dongda University see the power of us, the Tigers of Southeast Asia..."
The more the group talked, the funnier it became.
"Then where should we start?" This is a key question. Even though the Dongda people's naval power is weak, they are too close to the mainland, such as Tianya Island. If their own naval forces go there, they will undoubtedly be sent to waste.
"Here!" The person who made the suggestion pointed to an area of sea.
"No, this place is controlled by people from Danggui Province. No matter what, the Citi people will object even if they know about it afterwards. Moreover, this will not have any impact on the people of Dongda. Instead, it will intensify the conflict between us and the people of Danggui Province."
This is the sadness of dogs: once the owner takes the chain away, they are not free to bite anyone they want.
The freedom to bite people is a very rare luxury for dogs.
"Then this place is controlled by the people of Dongda, and it is less than 350 kilometers away from our coastline. At the same time, there are one or two small islands nearby that are under our control. We have both the reason and the basic backup."
His finger pointed to an island located at the southwestern end of the Key West Islands.
This place is less than 100 kilometers away from Jiuxing Island, the main island of the Xijiao Islands, and only about 300 kilometers away from Haijiao City, but it seems to be a more ideal target for South Jiaozhi.
They knew that they would not be able to get the support of the Citigroup bosses for this operation, at least not at the beginning, and they had to consider the situation in the air.
The distance of less than 350 kilometers from their coastline gives them the possibility of air support, so at least they are not completely helpless.
But some of them, who were from the Air Force, flatly rejected the suggestion.
"Impossible, less than 300 kilometers from their large island? We can't provide you with any air cover."
"They don't have any air power on Jiuxing Island." At this time, they had not yet discovered that we were building an airport on Jiuxing Island.
"No, I'm talking about their Tianya Island. The Cape area of Tianya Island is only about 300 kilometers away from here!"
"Are all your air force cowards so afraid of the other side's air force?"
"I'm not afraid, I just think there's no need to make unnecessary sacrifices. Have you forgotten that last year they fought a 86:21 air battle with the Sindhu people who used the F-0 of the United States!"
After all, I am still afraid.
"Have you forgotten that this is a war, and in war there will be losses!"
"But this is a meaningless provocation that is more politically motivated. I don't think it is necessary to sacrifice our pilots. Besides, we don't have the ability to accurately attack enemy ships." The South Jiaozhi Air Force refused to give in.
"Okay, so what if I don't need you to attack the enemy ships, but just provide cover for the people at sea?"
"Uh... we can provide you with long-range cover." The South Jiaozhi Air Force said something different. He knew very well that with the little money he had, it would be like an egg hitting a stone if he wanted to go head-on with the Dongda Air Force. It had nothing to do with numbers.
Not to mention our side, even the Sindhu Air Force, which was much stronger than ours, only fought one serious air battle with the other side, which was a 21:0 battle, and then it never appeared again in the entire war.
"Long-range cover?" The people of Southern Jiaozhi, who were not familiar with air combat, were somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, we are covering you from a long distance. When there is evidence that the enemy aircraft is only 30 kilometers away from us, we will retreat." The Air Force people were indeed professional and explained it very clearly. The only problem was that this method looked a bit strange.
"You mean, you'll retreat once the Dongda plane arrives? Then what's the point of covering up?"
The air force officer curled his lips and said, "Maybe their people will not dare to come when they see us here?"
"Do you think it's possible?"
"Everything is possible. And there is evidence that the Northeasterners, like us, lack the ability to use aircraft to attack sea targets, especially small and medium-sized ships. As we all know, horizontal bombing has a very low hit rate against ships, and the Northeasterners lack dive bombers." The Air Force was very professional when talking about air power, except for some problems with intelligence.
This made other people think, what the air force people said was right, that was the fact, so what if your air force is powerful, you can't hit me.
Although the war with the Sindhu showed that the enemy had amazing capabilities in attacking fixed targets on the ground, although it is not known how they achieved it, it is very difficult to attack ships moving on the sea.
The most important thing is that, let alone the University of Tokyo, even the powerful Citigroup lacks the ability to accurately strike moving targets on the sea.
My father doesn’t have it, and no one else can have it!
Many times, don't overestimate the IQ and analytical ability of the decision makers. Many decisions seem like those made by a lunatic to others or in hindsight. The saying that the world is a huge makeshift team is not a big problem to some extent.
In the end, everyone was convinced, and they finally decided to have a big one in Key West.
Although the decision has been made, deployment and mobilization take time. It is impossible to make a decision today and start work tomorrow.
But at sea, our comrades still discovered some clues.
On Jinchen Island in the Xijiao Islands, a comrade watched through a telescope the frequent movements of the illegal Nanjiaozhi people who occupied Haimian Island less than 10 kilometers away. He said to his platoon leader: "Platoon leader, I don't know what the Jiaozhi people are doing. They have been very active in the past few days. Many ships have come and transported a lot of people and things."
The island is not small in size and is not a small reef, so the garrison here is a platoon.
The platoon leader said with a smile in a "double happiness" tone: "I hope they can do something, otherwise I guess the leaders above will find it difficult to take action."
Due to historical issues, we still have to talk about the truth. Unless others are seeking death, it is difficult for us to do anything directly.
"Really? Then I'll fire the first shot!" The soldier was very excited.
The platoon leader slapped him on the head and said, "What do you mean you fire the first shot? Let the enemy fire the first shot. Do you understand?"
The soldier thought about it, understood, touched his head and smiled foolishly.
"I understand, Platoon Leader. But this matter still needs to be reported to the superiors, right?"
"Don't worry, I've already reported it, and I think the comrades on the two islands next to me have also reported it."
This is a small archipelago with many islands and reefs. Except for a few islands that have been occupied due to historical issues, we now have personnel deployed on all islands and reefs with conditions.
The theme is restrained but aggressive, not aggressive but not inactive either. It is really contradictory and harmonious.
In fact, it’s not just on the islands and reefs. The Be-6s on routine air patrols see more than them.
The situation was quickly reported back to the capital.
"The kids from Nan Jiaozhi are naughty again. It seems they want to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots." A leader said with a smile.
"How is the force deployment over there?"
"All the islands in the entire Xijiao area are under control. In this area, even if the Citigroup comes alone, it will be useless, let alone instigating a few minions." The comrades in the army are very confident.
But this time, the Citigroup was wrongly blamed. This matter had nothing to do with them. It was Nan Jiaozhi that acted alone. But who told it to do so many bad things? If there were any bad things, just put the blame on it. Generally, there would be no problem.
"Well, I was trying to talk nicely, but it seems like these little kids only remember to eat and not to be beaten. So it's not our fault." The leader said with a smile.
