Chapter 1417 Arrogance is very important
"It doesn't matter what the satellite is. All the satellites in the Wenyi airspace will give me a rabbit sigh, and I will be staring at the Lingshui airport in China when the sky is out! U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Henry Rumsfeld yelled into the phone, "I want to know the movement of ants crawling on the ground even if they keep crawling." This Siwu electronic reconnaissance plane is really too important for the United States, and the classification level is definitely second only to the early warning aircraft of the United States. When he heard that the Siwang electronic reconnaissance plane had landed at Lingshui Airport in Hainan, China, Secretary of Defense Donald Henry Rumsfeld even angrily scolded the "Yang Murderer Four" in his office and lifted his desk.
To put it bluntly, what Americans would rather be forced to land at Lingshui Airport by the Chinese is an old "Tomcat." Carrier-based fighters or one by one occupy the "Eagle." The heavy fighter does not want to be this one-witch electronic reconnaissance plane, and the numerous classified electronic equipment on this four-one-witch electronic reconnaissance plane is really too sensitive; in time, the Chinese will be able to grasp the signal frequencies of all three electronic reconnaissance rights and find out the operating band of the receiver. The secret communication frequencies used by the United States will be exposed. This is simply too terrible for the US ** team, which attaches great importance to the secrecy of communications, and they have to face the embarrassment of upgrading and changing all the communication systems they use, which will be a huge system project.
What's worse is that Rumsfeld does not know whether the crew of the four-witch electronic reconnaissance plane destroyed the classified electronic equipment on board before landing in accordance with the regulations, but judging from the time and the actions of the Chinese troops afterwards, even if it was sabotage. The extent of possible damage is also limited.
If this is the case, it is even more sad, and the Chinese will most likely master the changes in the frequency-hopping radio frequencies used by the raw electronic reconnaissance aircraft, after a technical analysis of the tuner. to be able to expose their "instantaneous bandwidth". That is, a range of frequencies that the tuner is able to track. China has the data, Chinese engineers design radios with frequencies beyond the processing power of these tuners, and the Chinese eavesdrop on U.S. military communications as simply as Americans shouting in their ears.
Not only that, but some external equipment that had no way to destroy at that time, such as the antenna group and the new radio antenna outside the fuselage, according to these things, it was possible to analyze the range and power of the area of the latest emission source area of the same type of Concave-3 reconnaissance aircraft, and the different physical characteristics of intercepting targets at different distances, so as to basically sort out the latest anti-jamming ultra-high frequency communication system, and fourth, replace the fat curve that was considered obsolete, and master these. This means that U.S. communications with its allies will be in China's hands.
Some of these new communication systems enable the 413 to access the tactical data network used by fighter jets, such as the tactical reconnaissance information exchange system, which creates an excellent opportunity for the Chinese to invade the US military system. Rumsfeld believes that the Chinese will absolutely not let go of this good opportunity.
These are just the best results of their own guesses, who knows what kind of equipment on the plane was destroyed at that time, if the destruction effect of those curtains on the plane at that time was not ideal. Who knows how many US secrets the Chinese can get on this four-witch electronic reconnaissance plane?!
And these, for the U.S. team, are simply a complete cup, which will mean that the U.S. team will not be stunned to spend a huge price to make up for the sequelae caused by this incident after this incident.
Especially when Zi'an knew that this Yang negative electronic reconnaissance plane had the opportunity to fly to Vietnam at that time, Donald Henry Rumsfeld was even more depressed in his heart:
If the Siwu electronic reconnaissance plane had turned to fly towards Vietnam at that time. Donald Henry Rumsfeld was not so angry, although the plane was in the hands of the Vietnamese, and it was impossible to even think about it if it wanted to come back. But in terms of the level of military science and technology of the Vietnamese, even if this plane goes into their hands, it has no practical value, but it is different when it falls into the hands of the Chinese, and the Chinese's ability to imitate military science and technology is not only deeply jealous of the damned Russian polar bear, but even the Americans feel quite uncomfortable.
When the Chinese copied the polar bear's planing fighter, the Americans were still secretly happy in their hearts that the Russians in the countryside had eaten such a big 5 in the hands of the Chinese.
However, when their own four-witch electronic reconnaissance plane fell into the hands of the Chinese, the Americans suddenly discovered one thing: In the eighties, the one-watt medium-sized multi-purpose helicopter (the civilian version of the Black Hawk helicopter) sold by the United States to China, although the Chinese's imitation of this medium-sized helicopter failed at the end of the eighties and the beginning of the decade, it does not mean that the Chinese's imitation of this helicopter stopped. According to information received by military intelligence. After entering the late nineties, with the progress of China in manufacturing and electronic technology. They once again mapped and copied this medium-sized multi-purpose helicopter that is the most used in the U.S. team, and at present, except for the engine core, which cannot be imitated, all other parts can be imitated.
So will a lot of the equipment on this Four Witches electronic reconnaissance plane be copied by them? There is simply no doubt about it! After the successful imitation of these devices, the gap between the Chinese and the United States in terms of military science and technology will at least be pulled into the old year!
Donald Henry Rumsfeld kept cursing in his heart for the stupid way of proposing to use this idea to test the Chinese's dealings with the United States and the bottom line of America's Asia-Pacific policy!
This is the real loss of the lady and the soldiers.
It is no exaggeration to say that the US political system is enough to ensure that even a dog or a pig stays in the position of the president, and it can ensure the normal operation of the country, so after a period of delay, the US political system has played a role, and this political system has finally made the politician Bush realize a very serious problem! share
In such a serious conflict with the powerful Americans, Bush's allies on the Mediterranean coast were not Iraq and Yugoslavia, which could not be bullied by themselves, but the mysterious China that fought two consecutive wars with them, and they all beat themselves all over the ground. China. In the case of such a serious "friction" with such a country, it is simply the most stupid mistake to deal with this matter so slackly! ,
So after realizing that this matter must not be handled in the same way as he thought he had before, he finally realized the seriousness of the problem: President George... Bush, Vice President Richard Bruce Cheney, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Secretary of Defense Donald Henry Rumsfeld, and Chief of Presidential Staff John Carder finally held an emergency meeting at the White House at 5 o'clock in the morning of Washington time (i.e., 5 o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time). We will discuss how to deal with the plane collision incident.
But no matter how you look at it, this meeting feels like a bit of a remedial thing.
It was the darkest period before dawn, but the few people sitting in the conference room of the White House did not have a trace of sleepiness on their faces, and they all frowned tightly.
Everyone is well aware of the thorniness of this matter: if it is not handled well, it is very likely that it will trigger an extremely fierce conflict between China and the United States, and the possibility of a full-scale war conflict is not impossible, not to mention that the two countries will fall into a prolonged state of cold war.
While it is not in the interests of the United States to have a strong China, it is also not in the interests of the United States to have dealings with a China that does not interact with the United States, which has now become the fourth largest trading nation of the United States. Judging from China's rapid economic development in recent years, China will play an increasingly important role in the development of the US economy and the world economy in the next few years. Although it is still a bit exaggerated, American think tanks have come to the conclusion that according to this development trend, China will most likely really become the engine of world economic development in the next few years.
Is it possible for the United States to abandon such an engine? Of course not, if the U.S. government does this, George W. Bush will wait to be ousted by the social basis of domestic outrage: the American business class. Businessmen would not allow a president who would not be courteous to them to remain in the presidency.
Plainly. The job of the President of the United States. It is to seek benefits for American businessmen, and then seek greater benefits, and other things, such as seeking the interests of the people, are all fake, like lollipops when a three-year-old child is not crying.
In front of George W. Bush was the information that could be collected by the White House office's concubine Ren Kade about the plane collision, and based on the information provided on this material, it can be preliminarily determined that the Siwu electronic reconnaissance plane took the initiative to ram the Chinese Suaber fighter, which eventually caused the fighter to crash and the pilot's whereabouts are unknown.
The Chinese have lost a Suwan fighter, although the US side is also strange about why the double-tailed Sudao fighter has become uncontrollable in the case of the loss of a tail, according to their own calculations, the double-tailed fighter, in the case of losing a tail, although it is no longer able to fight, but if it is controlled to fly back to the base, there is no problem, but why did this plane fall into the sea so without collision
This?
Of course, if we analyze it carefully, it can also be said that it was the Chinese Suaber fighter pilots who were obviously aware of the steering maneuvers of the US Siwu electronic reconnaissance plane, but they did not take any action to evade it, in other words. It can be said that the pilot of the Sudao fighter in China at that time was very likely aware of the action of the Siwu electronic reconnaissance plane to turn, but he did not turn around, and took the initiative to wait for the electronic reconnaissance plane that tried to scare himself into evasion with a sharp maneuver and then escaped
come
But the Americans, though, are aware of this possibility. But there is no way to say it, I can only mutter two sentences in my heart, after all, no one will believe this kind of practice, because it is not in line with the values of American society: how can anyone stupidly wait until someone else takes the initiative to bump into it and not know how to dodge? Since this is the case. The action is dangerous for you, so let the plane fly away!
These thoughts are rapidly turning in my mind; George, who was frowning bitterly... Bush gently pinched his eyebrows with a great headache, and felt extremely depressed that he had encountered such an unfortunate incident within a few months of taking office:
Yes, that's right, the decision to send planes and warships to patrol and parade around China's South China Sea was made by itself. The purpose of doing this in the first place. It is to explore what kind of polite attitude the Chinese government has toward the current US administration, and what kind of bottom line the Chinese government has towards the US government's Asia-Pacific policy, and then it can also use this bottom line to ensure that it can be re-elected after the four. But how did this get to this point?
Judging from Bush Jr.'s consistent analysis of the Chinese Government, the biggest government demand of the Chinese Government, which has always pursued a low profile, is economic development. In order to achieve the purpose of economic development and peaceful rise. They don't mind suffering a small loss at some point: some of the so many disputed islands in the South China Sea have been forcibly occupied by the little buggy countries in Southeast Asia. The abundant oil and gas resources on the seabed in the South China Sea have also been exploited by those small bug-like countries, and this huge country has not taken any practical and effective measures.
If the place where these little bugs robbed was replaced by the place of the US government, George W. Bush firmly believed. The iron fist of the mighty American fleet has long made these little bugs know what the interests of the United States of America are sacrosanct.
But why this, right dare
The bite on the second mouth, the little insects in the mouth and flesh pretended to be dead and did not see it. In the treatment of self-sweating. But to take such a drastic attitude?
"Mr. Cheney, tell me what you think After a moment of silence, George... Bush finally said something to break the deadlock.
Bush Jr. first asked Vice President Richard Bruce Cheney to share his views, and naturally there is a reason; after Bush Jr. officially entered the White House on the day of the month this year, one of the important pieces of advice given to his son by former US President George H.W. Bush, that is, George W. Bush's son, was to ask Vice President Richard Bruce Cheney more for advice. In particular, on issues related to national security and military issues, Vice President Cheney should be given greater authority. ,
His father is already an old and well-known figure, and his countless experiences since he grew up have proved that there is absolutely nothing wrong with listening to his own words, so Bush Jr. attaches great importance to his father's advice.
However, Bush Jr.'s core team is also very interesting, Secretary of Defense Donald Henry Rumsfeld was a congressman in the last century, and Vice President Richard Bruce Cheney was Rumsfeld's assistant at the time, and now the assistant of that year has become vice president, and the former boss has become Secretary of Defense, Cheney will naturally respect Rashfeld's opinion more on national defense issues, so as he said that Bush is listening to Vice President Richard Bruce Cheney's views on this matter, It is better to listen to Secretary of Defense Donald Henry Rumsfeld's views on this matter, and on the way to this matter, Vice President Cheney and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld have already had a preliminary exchange of views on the way to handle this matter.
Bush's domestic pressure is also very great, because the spirit of the founding of the United States emphasizes personal value, the life of any American is related to the prestige and ruling power of the US president, and Americans are most unhappy that foreign countries will take Americans hostage, regardless of whether the other side is the government or pirates. The U.S. decided to put pressure on China, such as State Department officials boycotting the reception of China's new ambassador, Yang Jielu. Members of Congress and business leaders have also been vocal in their criticism of China, and the media has not been outdone in condemning China.
"Personally, I think we should set the tone for this event: that this is an accident, for this accident. We don't want to see it, so we absolutely can't let this accident turn into an international event, which is not in our national interest. Cheney, who was named, pushed his huge eyes, and at the same time secretly pressed his chest, secretly depressed in his heart: damn heart disease, just don't attack. I didn't have a seizure at night, but I had a seizure at this time," at the same time, I think. It is also not in China's national interest to escalate the severity of this matter, so at this point, although we have no way to contact the leaders of the Chinese government at the moment, we can think that we have a common understanding with the leaders of the ** government on the point of not expanding the impact of this matter.
The president, national security adviser, secretary of state, secretary of defense, White House chief of staff, and others all nodded, and Cheney was right. Although the United States is afraid of the expansion of the level of this matter. But again, if things expand, it is also not in the interests of a rising China. China, which is seeking a peaceful rise, does not want to see such a faceless incident, but they also do not want a direct conflict with the most powerful country in the world. China's bottom line has been clarified. It's a lot easier.
"At the same time," continued Cheney, who felt a little more comfortable after pressing his heart, "and make sure that you can't apologize to China, at least not at the beginning." We can't control this matter for long, and in the next few days, we will have to deal with the pressure from the American people who don't know the truth, and we will have to deal with the pressure from the Chinese side, so we must not apologize for the first few days."
"What do you think, Ms. Rice?" After nodding, after Vice President Cheney clarified the basic attitude on the matter, George W. Bush asked his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice. In this matter, you must know what kind of attitude your security consultant has towards this matter.
"After analyzing China's current international environment and international interests, our National Security Council believes that during this period of time, China will not only have to worry about its most-favored-nation status with us, but will be retaliated against by China on a series of issues, such as its accession to the WTO and China's arms sales to Taiwan. At the same time, China's bid to host the Beijing Olympic Games, the Chinese government cannot tolerate another loss, the key to the victory or defeat of these problems lies in China's support, or at least no opposition; At the same time, the Chinese high-level also attaches great importance to holding the annual meeting of the young APEC in Shanghai, if our president, Mr. President, does not attend. Or send only the Vice President or Secretary of State to attend. It will seriously damage China's diplomatic image and the importance of the annual meeting. Therefore, we believe that China's civilian ministries and foreign ministries are inclined to compromise with the United States to solve the problem, and that the two sides may use force against each other if they do not make concessions to each other, and Beijing will avoid the scourge of war as the best policy. ”
At this time, although everyone has the intention of controlling this matter within a certain range, it definitely does not mean that this matter can be easily handled, on the contrary, if there is a little bit of involuntary consideration when dealing with this matter, it will bring unpredictable consequences in the eyes.
"However, considering that the crew of this electronic reconnaissance plane controlled by China is outnumbered, especially including three female non-commissioned officers, although it randomly landed at Lingshui Airport in Hainan, the specific situation is unknown, so I think that in the handling of this matter, the US government should maintain a degree of toughness while maintaining appropriate flexibility." Rice frowned similarly, scrutinizing every word she said to make sure she didn't mislead her boss.
George W. Bush tapped lightly on the table, pondering the words of his national security adviser. There is no doubt that what his right-hand man said is true, and as far as the United States is concerned, since the personnel and planes are in the hands of the Chinese and under the fence, the initiative is now in the hands of the middle and right hands. Therefore, it is very difficult for the two sides to interact diplomatically. To solve this matter, as the Chinese saying goes, a good man does not suffer immediate losses.
In this telegram about the incident, Mr. Pasteur also mentioned that Chinese there are strong national feelings, and any leader in this matter has to speak in a high-profile manner to appease the people. Public opinion in China will influence the outcome of this matter to a considerable extent: despite the fact that China is a one-party state, the current government leaders are extremely tough on the country's leadership. But they also dare not go too far in such a matter that has a bearing on national feelings, and not only their people will not agree, but even other interest groups in their party will not agree.
"Mr. President, at the media briefing, what should we call these US military personnel detained by China? As the White House chief of staff for foreign affairs, Carter, who has always been in charge of dealing with the media, asked Bush "Do you call them hostages?" ,
"Nope! The phrase "hostage, this word" must not be used. He didn't wait for George W. Bush to answer. Secretary of Defense Donald Henry Rumsfeld, Presidential Security Adviser Condohozza Rice, and Vice President Richard Bruce Cheney have said in unison, "If we don't want to lead to the complete failure of this operation as the Carter administration did when it dealt with the Iran-American hostage crisis, we absolutely cannot use the word "hostage!" ”
When the Democratic Carter administration dealt with the Iranian hostage crisis in four years, it used the word "hostage" in the media at the beginning of the official beginning, which ultimately led to the defeat of the Carter administration, and the handling of that crisis has been judged by the US government and opposition to be a "public relations disaster." If the Bush administration has just taken office three months after taking office and such a scandal occurs, then the next presidential election will not have to think about re-election of Bush Jr.
It is precisely because of this that the "hostage" was proposed in Card. This word. It would be Cheney, Rice, and Rumsfeld who would have reacted so violently.
"No, we can't use the term "hostage." Bush Jr., who was not too stupid after all, shook his head, and of course he knew why the vice president, the presidential adviser on security affairs, and the secretary of defense resolutely opposed the use of the title "hostage" to refer to the American ** people who were already in the hands of the Chinese, "We should try to use some milder words."
"Okay, Mr. President, who realized that he had said the wrong thing, Card, nodded hurriedly, and anyone who worked in the White House would never forget the fatal impact of the Iranian-American hostage crisis on the Carter administration at that time.
"Militarily, what should we do?" Rumsfeld asked Bush Jr.
"Order the US ** ship that has stayed in the waters near the plane collision incident to leave the scene, and convey to the Chinese side that we have no intention of causing a conflict in the first place, Bush Jr. frowned, although he was very reluctant to make this decision, after all, he is a politician, not a cowboy who only walks to the front with his head down, although he is very reluctant, but at this time, it is time to bow to China to a certain extent," at the same time, in this matter, because of the special nature of this matter. It is very likely that the Chinese side will have the upper hand in the military's opinion, which will eventually lead to China's insistence on cornering the United States into a corner, and the United States will not be prepared for both. ”
"Also, Mr. Rumsfeld. We have activated all US intelligence channels to serve this crisis, collect and report on the attitudes of China and other countries on this incident, and tell the Taiwan side that it must ensure that the intercepted Chinese phone calls and the recordings of US calls are reported to the US side. There must be no omission; At the same time, the Taiwan military was informed that the Taiwan military has also entered a certain state of alert, and if necessary, the Taiwan side can be asked to cooperate with our actions
"In addition, Mr. Paowell, your State Department has done everything possible to cooperate with the Chinese high-level to renounce. The key lies in the attitude of the Chinese side, although the mainland military obeys the orders of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, but at this time it is different, and the military on the head of the fire is obviously unwilling to let us go so easily at the cost of sacrificing a pilot and an aircraft. ”
"Okay, Mr. President, Secretary of State Colin Cannon Well, nodded, in fact, he was doing the work before.
Speaking of which, George W. Bush raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was already morning, and he stood up a little tired, "All right, gentlemen, let's get here first, now we have more things to do." ”
Although Bush Jr. did not say how to get the Taiwan side to cooperate with him in the end, it is nothing more than that Taiwan must do something to cooperate with the US side when things have changed beyond the control of the United States. The Taiwan issue has always been one of the backstops of the Chinese government. When something happens in Taiwan, the first thing the Chinese Government will pay attention to is the Taiwan issue, and then the Taiwan side will be able to buy enough time for the US side.
Combined with what Vice President Cheney said earlier, George W. Bush finally made a preliminary plan for this crash. But little Bensh apparently forgot a point, the so-called "president" of Taiwan who is now in power. "It's not a staunch" fetal poison. The separatist Li Dengshen is gray, but Lian Zhan.
Although Lien Chan still disapproves of the mainland's reunification with Taiwan, when it comes to the issue of Taiwan independence, Lien Chan is also resolutely opposed. The most important question is what happened to Li Dengshen, who wanted to fight for re-election, but he has been silently warning the future "president" of Taiwan. "No one wants to be given a free bullet by a mysterious sniper on the mainland, no matter how good the president's position is, it is better than his own life.
When the top level of the US government stayed up late in the early hours of the morning, far away on the distant Asian continent, the top level of the Chinese government was not idle at the moment, while the Americans were discussing how to deal with this matter. Assistant Foreign Minister Zhou Wenbin summoned U.S. Ambassador to China Joseph Prueher, who urgently met with him.
At Lingshui Airport, the Chinese personnel began to interrogate the crew of the Buwang electronic reconnaissance plane in the morning, and did not give them a chance to make psychological preparations at all. Unlike in history. Originally, the interrogation was to begin on 2 April, and for more than a day before the interrogation began, there was neither isolation nor much sense of precaution among the American GIs, so that the confessions between the eight soldiers could not have been better. Prosperous...
With preparation this time, the Americans will not have such a big bargain to make.
At the same time, Zhongnanhai, the political core of China. Brother Hu's previous arrangement of the southern military exercise. Although everyone didn't say anything on the surface, in fact, in their hearts, everyone was still a little disdainful: Are you a fool to be an American, will you come to the head at this time? When the truth is so unexpected, the Americans are not only really stupid. I also gave myself such a big "gift" for free!
This great gift from the United States is indeed big enough, a latest-type four-witch electronic reconnaissance plane, the squadron can only think of the treasure in their hearts, compared with the electronic reconnaissance plane that the military has just equipped and was abducted and deceived from Lao Maozi, the technology is not a grade advanced, and it can be said unceremoniously that after thoroughly eating these technologies, the gap between the scientific and technological level of the squadron and the US ** team in cutting-edge science and technology is not a grade. It will at least bring the year closer!
The Ministry of Defense instructed the pilot who was piloting the Su Arsenic fighter plane to parachute to survive. Immediately after that, the pilot "unfortunately disappeared." "This is a big advantage when dealing with Americans in the future! ,
This is too unexpected, and all this is just a flash of inspiration at that time in Brother Hu, there is no doubt that Brother Hu's "flash of inspiration" will add a strong stroke to his qualifications to take over power in the future! Several other members of the Politburo Standing Committee couldn't help but muttered in their hearts: Could it be that Brother Hu can still predict the future? Otherwise, how could he have expected the Americans to make such a stupid move? This group of Americans didn't deliberately cooperate with Brother Hu, right?
Of course, these words can only be put in the stomach, on the surface, everyone has to congratulate Brother Hu on such a huge gain brought by this previous arrangement, congratulate him on winning such a significant benefit for the country, and then think sourly in his heart: It would be nice if the person who was complimented was replaced by himself.
"As a government, any action we make now is being watched by hundreds of millions of people across the country, as well as by the rest of the world. This is not only a test, but also a huge opportunity, we cannot do anything that will make the people poke their backbones, and in this matter, we must first insist on one point: the United States must solemnly apologize to us, no matter what way it takes. Brother Hu said with a serious face.
Everyone present understood that this is an established policy, and it is also the bottom line, and it is a goal that must be achieved: because the Chinese government is facing strong nationalist pressure, otherwise, its own life will be difficult.
This incident that occurred between China, the world's largest developing country, and the United States, the world's most powerful country, can even be called a "local military conflict," although neither China nor the US government admits this claim. However, the world's major media outlets, who are aware of the impact this development will have on the world security situation, have all used consistent or similar words such as "local military conflict" in their reports, and the attention of countries and media around the world has instantly focused on China and the United States, the two world powers, especially China.
Everyone understands in their hearts that although the attitude of the Americans is very important, what is more important is the attitude of the Chinese on this matter, and if the Chinese take an unprecedentedly tough attitude towards this matter related to their national image, between China and the United States. There will be a high probability of a real military conflict.
China is not an insignificant small country like Iraq, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Yugoslavia, and with the development of China's economy, everyone suddenly realized that if the United States really fought with China. Will it even harm your own interests?
All of a sudden, countries that think they have some say in the world are ready to send special envoys to China and the United States to act as mediators: if they succeed, they will gain a lot!
On the evening of tomorrow 2 July, Zhou Wenbin, special assistant to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, summoned US Ambassador to China Joseph Prueher again to make clear to Prueher on behalf of the Chinese government the Chinese government's position on this matter: The US government must make a public and sincere apology for this matter! And it is necessary to compensate for the losses caused to China.
At the same time, the second meeting of the US White House's emergency consultations also formed a countermeasure to this incident, and this time the decision was: "Ask the Chinese side to agree to the staff of the US embassy and consulates in China to go to Hainan as soon as possible to meet the 24-member crew of the Sijia electronic reconnaissance plane that is "temporarily staying" at Hainan's Lingshui Airport.
2. In order to avoid the escalation of tensions, the U.S. government will try its best not to make or take statements or actions that escalate an event that is not a crisis into "a crisis." At the same time, in order not to provoke the Beijing government too much, he asked Republican congressmen not to hold a press conference to criticize China.
At the same time, the Bush administration has reached a consensus on another point: Beijing may take advantage of the situation to fan the flames and trigger public protests, and the president may cancel his visit to South American countries.
3. Secretary of State Colin Cannon Will will serve as the representative to go to China to be responsible for communicating with the Chinese side and resolving the matter, while Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld will show his face as little as possible to avoid giving the Chinese side the image that the United States is deliberately showing off force to the Chinese side, trying to threaten to use force, or settling the incident by force.
4. Demand that the Chinese side not touch the plane. And return it in its entirety. Although they also knew that this was impossible, the US Department of Defense had already observed through the "keyhole" optical reconnaissance satellite and the "lacrosse" synthetic aperture radar imaging satellite in space that the Siwu electronic reconnaissance plane parked at Lingshui Airport in Hainan was full of all kinds of medium-sized vehicles, and tents had even begun to be erected next to it.
According to the preliminary judgment, it is very likely that the Chinese side has sent military technical experts in electronics, system architecture, and other fields to study the Siwu electronic reconnaissance plane.
But the necessary gestures still need to be done.
