Chapter 65 Officially declares war

On January 23, Beijing time 130. [No pop-up novel network]

On Saturday, most of the citizens of the Republic had just gotten out of bed after a week of hard work, some getting ready for breakfast, some exercising, some preparing for their trips, and some basking in the sun on their balconies. It wasn't until the national anthem sounded in the cities that the 100 million citizens of the republic realized that something big had happened. As always, most people's first instinct is to turn on the TV and tune in to the national broadcaster's central news channel.

Seeing Wang Yuanqing, the head of state who appeared on the TV screen, almost all citizens knew that the country was in serious trouble.

In fact, as early as the end of September, most of the citizens of the republic found out that a significant adjustment was made in the policy of the state, and the republic was preparing for war.

Ready to declare war on India?

That's too much fuss: right!

The vast majority of the citizens of the republic have not found on the map the region of southern Tibet, which is disputed by the republic and India, have not heard of the place called Tawang, and they do not even know how much territory is not clearly divided between the republic and India. For the vast majority of the republic's citizens, southern Tibet is out of reach, and some even consider Medog to be the republic's territory south of the Himalayas.

In the past, even if the Republic sent troops to recover southern Tibet, it would not have declared war on India.

The reason is simple, a declaration of war means that the country enters a state of war, and all citizens will be affected. After the declaration of war, the republic and the enemy country will be at war, and the war will not end until one side is defeated. In order to avoid expanding the scale of war, republics often resort to undeclared military operations, thus gaining real benefits in the name of "border conflicts" or "regional conflicts".

This is also an unwritten convention in the world.

back then. China brazenly sent troops to attack Iran and did not declare war on the Iranian government.

As long as it's not you fighting to the death. There is absolutely no need to wage war by declaring a war on the battlefield.

In the eyes of the overwhelming majority of citizens of the republic. There is no reason for the country's leaders to declare war on India. Development to the present. India is not only the Republic's fifth largest trading partner. It is also an important place for the import of goods. For the majority of citizens of the republic. Everyday life has become impossible to dissociate itself from India. Don't say anything else. Ordinary people wear clothes, shoes, utensils, tableware, chopsticks, etc., all need to be imported from India. Annually. The Republic also exports a large number of high-end products to India. At least millions of citizens of the Republic have been offered jobs as a result.

Is it necessary for the country to completely turn its face with India?

Citizens' concerns were quickly resolved, as Wang Yuanqing's announcement had nothing to do with India at all.

“…… Early this morning. At the invitation of the leaders of the Taiwan authorities, our officers and men went to Taiwan to carry out counterinsurgency tasks, and captured more than 400 Japanese officers and men at Taipei International Airport. In the battle, more than 900 Japanese officers and soldiers were killed, and several transport planes transporting Japanese officers and soldiers were destroyed.

The evidence is ironclad that Japan has brazenly sent troops to invade our country, and the resurgence of Japanese militarists is vainly trying to split our country again and occupy Taiwan's treasure island......"

Shocking big shock!

At first, almost no one believed the Führer's announcement, and it was not until the Japanese soldiers escorted by the soldiers of the Airborne Forces of the Republic appeared on the television screen that the anger in the hearts of the people of the Republic broke out.

More than 00 years ago, Japan occupied Taiwan and enslaved Taiwan for nearly half a century!

It was a history that the descendants of Yan and Huang could not look back on, and it was a history of shame for the Chinese nation!

“…… A hundred years ago, we resisted Japan's aggression for more than a decade, with the lives of 30 million compatriots, and with the blood of 40,000,000 compatriots. History cannot repeat itself and will not repeat itself. Japan's will not die, and the Chinese nation will never have peace. Here, on behalf of the central government of the Republic, I call on all the people and all the sons and daughters of China to forge a ploughshare into a sword, and uphold the will of our ancestors to brazenly launch a war of aggression against Japan. With the authorization of the General Assembly, I hereby declare a state of war in the whole country with immediate effect, and from that moment on, the Republic and Japan shall enter a state of war! ”

The declaration of war was too short to be believed.

The war has broken out!

After a brief lull, bright red flags fluttered all over the Republic. It was a flag dyed red with the blood of martyrs, a flag that symbolized the history of blood and tears of the Chinese nation.

At a time when university students in Beijing began organizing marches, Wang Yuanqing left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

As head of state, in addition to being in charge of strategic command, Wang Yuanqing also had to be in charge of administrative affairs during Premier Zong Yingren's visit to Moscow. Fortunately, Wang Yuanqing was originally from an administrative background, and his ability to handle government affairs was much stronger than that of his predecessor Zhao Rundong.

After contacting Zong Yingren, Wang Yuanqing first rushed to the General Staff.

War has been declared on Japan, and the strike actions of the Air Force will be carried out quickly. In any case, Japan's strategic counterattack capabilities must be eliminated before it can react. More importantly, if Japan decides to launch a strategic strike after the start of the war, the "strategic defense command center" under the General Staff will have to be prepared to intercept it.

When he came to the General Staff, Wang Yuanqing directly found Xiang Linghui.

"The combat order has been given, the combat aircraft participating in the first round of strikes have already arrived in the attacking airspace, and the first missile will hit the target within ten minutes."

"Commanded by Zhang Zhongxian

Xiang Linghui nodded and said, "Zhang Zhongxian personally commanded the attack, and the air force has been fully mobilized. ”

"Very well, I believe in the combat capabilities of the Air Force."

"Japan will react at the first opportunity, but at this time it is too late to take off combat aircraft."

"We must beware of a strategic counterattack by Japan." Coming to Xiang Linghui's office, Wang Yuanqing stopped, "After the declaration of war, Japan must know that it was us who sank its three strategic nuclear submarines. Until there is sufficient evidence, the possibility of a Japanese counterattack with strategic ballistic missiles must be considered. ”

"I have ordered the Strategic Defense Forces to enter combat mode, but I don't think it's possible."

"Impossible?" Wang Yuanqing glanced at Xiang Linghui and sat on the sofa.

"Murakami Sadamasa is not an idiot, Japan nuclear weapons, we have more nuclear weapons. According to the unwritten rule among the nuclear powers, whenever Japan's strategic ballistic missiles are launched, they will strike back before they fall. Xiang Linghui sat on the sofa opposite Wang Yuanqing, "It is almost impossible for Japan's strategic ballistic missiles to break through our defense system, while our strategic ballistic missiles can easily destroy all the cities in Japan and put an end to the history of the Yamato nation." As long as Murakami is not a madman, he will not be the first to use nuclear weapons. ”

"Murakami Sadamasa is not crazy, but Japanese soldiers are crazy."

Xiang Linghui frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand what the Führer meant.

"When I made the strategic plan, I said that as soon as war broke out, Murakami Sadamasa would lose control." Wang Yuanqing took out a cigarette and lit one for Xiang Linghui, and said, "Before that, Murakami Sadamasa could still control the Japanese army and convince the Japanese soldiers that the war would not bring any benefit to Japan or otherwise prevent the Japanese soldiers from promoting the war." Now that war was inevitable, Japan could either go all out or take the initiative to beg for peace. Will the Japanese soldiers take the initiative to beg for peace? Don't cry if you don't see the coffin! Japan will definitely not give in until it is completely defeated. As long as the Japanese soldiers insisted on fighting with all their might, they would put pressure on Murakami Sadamasa and ask the prime minister to give the order to carry out a strategic counterattack. ”

Xiang Ling took two puffs of cigarette and didn't say anything.

At this time, Li Cunxun rushed over.

"Just received information that Japan's SSBN units were put into combat condition an hour ago."

"Missiles?" Wang Yuanqing immediately frowned.

"No, the strategic early warning system did not detect missiles flying towards our country." Li Cunxun took the cigarette handed by the Führer, "In my guess, Murakami Sadamasa must have been influenced by the army and gave the order to prepare a strategic counterattack, but he did not give the order to launch missiles. Of course, it is uncertain whether Murakami will take this step. ”

Wang Yuanqing nodded and looked at Xiang Linghui.

The Chief of the General Staff walked over to the desk without delay and picked up the phone.

"The message has been sent to the Strategic Defense Command Center, and the missile interception system has been activated as planned." Li Cunxun glanced at Xiang Linghui and said, "We have enough capability to intercept Japan's strategic ballistic missiles, but we just need to adjust the combat operations of the Air Force." After completing the first round of strikes, it is necessary to seize air supremacy as soon as possible, search for and destroy Japan's mobile strategic ballistic missiles, and strive to eliminate the strategic threat as soon as possible. ”

Wang Yuanqing nodded, and also looked at Xiang Linghui.

Xiang Linghui let out a long breath, dialed the phone number of the Air Force Headquarters, and gave an order to Zhang Zhongxian.

It can be said that the "strategic defense system" is the "diamond cover" of the country, but this "diamond cover" has a fatal shortcoming, that is, it cannot maintain the best combat readiness for a long time. The "national strategic defense system" is mainly composed of the "air-based laser interception system," the "ground-based missile interception system," and the "sea-based theater defense system," of which the "air-based laser interception system" is the main interception task.

Interceptor aircraft can be deployed at the first interception point in the northern part of the Sea of Japan (13730 east longitude, 30 north latitude), the second interception point in Ulleungdo (131115 east longitude, 3730 north latitude), and the third interception point in the eastern East China Sea (12015 east longitude, 305 north latitude) to cover the whole of Japan and intercept ballistic missiles that boost the ascent stage. Because the Republic has not deployed naval warships capable of intercepting missiles to the Sea of Japan for the time being, three batches of 30 interceptor aircraft were deployed at the first and second interception points. The third interception point was able to be supported and strengthened by the "sea-based theater defense system", and only three batches of a total of nine interceptor aircraft were deployed.

Aircraft on interception missions cannot patrol the air all the time, and sooner or later they will have to return to their bases. As a result, the sustained combat capability of the "national strategic defense system" is very limited. At the design stage, the "national strategic defense system" also does not strictly require sustained combat capability, after all, a strategic strike lasts only a few minutes, at most a few tens of minutes, and it is impossible to last forever. Whether or not the incoming missile can be successfully shot down depends on the interception action within these few minutes.

Whether the threat can be quickly eliminated is directly related to the local security of the republic!
