Volume 3 The Storms of the East China Sea Chapter 3 Evil Neighbors

…… After the four Indo-Pakistani wars, the Military Intelligence Agency took over the long-range patrol planes, electronic reconnaissance planes, and early warning planes of the Air Force and Navy Air Force, and cooperated with the more than a dozen reconnaissance satellites at the disposal of the Military Intelligence Agency to closely monitor the hot spots around the Republic that may cause conflicts

According to the neighboring countries, location, and scope of hot spots, the Military Intelligence Bureau divides dangerous areas into dangerous areas on different scales and according to the three levels of "red, yellow and green", which means that they are relatively safe, civilian vehicles can pass freely, and military forces are cautious about entering; The "yellow zone" indicates that it is relatively dangerous, and civilian vehicles should be cautious when entering, and military forces should avoid entering; The "red zone" is very dangerous and can lead to conflict, whether it is by civilian transport or military force

The "red zone" around the Diaoyu Islands is the 12-nautical-mile "territorial water" separately demarcated by Japan, the "yellow zone" is the "exclusive economic zone" disputed by the two sides, and the "green zone" is the sea area through which nearby international shipping routes pass

After introducing the basic situation, Pan Yunsheng said: "I have already sent a patrol boat to intercept it, and I will send a maritime patrol plane over after dawn."

"What kind of ship is that?" Ji Youguo's face was pale, and his expression was very ugly

"A fishing boat registered in Ningde, Fujian" hesitated slightly, and Pan Yunsheng said, "Maybe it's just a fishing boat that has lost its way, and according to the information we have learned, the fishing boat can only reach Diaoyu Dao at noon tomorrow at the earliest, and we have enough time to intercept it."

"Is it that simple?" Ji Youguo glanced at the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, "Immediately find out the origin of this ship, who is on board, and what preparations were made before leaving the port, and everything that can be found can be found out."

Pan Yunsheng nodded, extinguished the cigarette butt and stood up

"Let the patrol and search troops be vigilant, and they must not clash with the Japanese side, let alone open fire without authorization" Ji Youguo glanced at Pan Yunsheng, who was about to leave, and said, "Give me a clear answer as soon as possible, I don't want anyone to deliberately provoke a military conflict between us and Japan"

"When I go back, I'll deal with it right away"

Leaving the study, Pan Yunsheng rubbed his cheeks vigorously, cursed in a low voice, and walked out of the West Garden quickly

Ji Youguo sat on the sofa for a while, smoked a cigarette, then got up, walked to the desk, picked up the phone and microphone, "Pick up the Ministry of Defense to find Zhao Rundong...... Directly to his home."

At this time, Wang Yuanqing came to the study

Ji Youguo pressed his hand at him and said, "Lao Zhao, I'm Ji Youguo, I just received the news that something big might happen, so hurry back to the Ministry of Defense to prepare...... You got it? That's good...... Okay, I'll let Xiao Wang pick you up at the door...... No problem, I'll make good tea and wait for you."

"The Führer is so late......"

"Lao Zhao will come over immediately, you will pick him up at the door," Ji Youguo didn't give Wang Yuanqing a chance to speak, "In addition, we seem to have half a tube of hair tips, you go and make a cup and put more tea"

Wang Yuanqing sighed secretly and left the study with the cups and plates he had packed

Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Run came to the study of Xipuyuan in a hurry

"I have received the news, it was Pan Yunsheng who told me" Zhao Rundong sat on the sofa, "It's really a pot that can't be opened, and someone is making trouble at this juncture."

"I asked Pan Yunsheng to find out the situation, maybe it's just a civil action" Ji Youguo brought two cups of tea, "This is your favorite hairy tip, I specially asked someone to prepare it"

"It's not going to be the one I gave you last year, is it?"

Ji Youguo smiled and said nothing, anyway, he usually drinks Longjing

"If this incident becomes a big one...... Zhao Rundong sighed, put down the teacup he had just picked up, and said, "No matter what, it is not a good thing to have a conflict with Japan at this juncture"

Ji Youguo nodded and said: "We can't let Japan do whatever it wants, if it's just a lost fishing boat, the problem is easy to solve, if it's a non-governmental action, doesn't it just reflect the public opinion at home?" ”

"Ji, what do you mean ......"

"We want to prevent the situation from escalating and not take the initiative to provoke the incident, but we will never allow anyone to and pee on our heads, I will let Pan Yunsheng intercept the fishing boat, but it cannot be guaranteed, you must also prepare on your side, if the situation expands, we have to take the initiative"

Zhao Rundong frowned slightly, "Do you want to discuss it with Lao Peng?" ”

"Pan Yunsheng called you, and he must have called Lao Peng too, I'm afraid Lao Peng is thinking about whether to call me" Ji Youguo smiled faintly and said, "Lao Peng is a resolute main fighter, plus Pan Yunsheng, who is good at fanning the flames, if I am wrong, the situation will be difficult to control"

"Without the participation of the General Staff, it is inconvenient for us to do anything"

"I didn't come to you to discuss with you how to fight, but to hear your opinion"

Zhao Rundong picked up the cigarette and thought quickly

According to Ji Youguo's consistent style, he will not make a clear statement before considering it all, let alone let others know his true thoughtsIn the fourth Indo-Pakistani war, Ji Youguo's several major decisions were not only unexpected, but also extremely correct Since the self-defense counterattack that started in the late 70s of the last century, last year's war was the most beautiful military operation completed by the Republic in more than 30 years

The challenges facing the Republic are far more acute now than they were a year ago

The Fourth Indo-Pakistani War not only woke up the United States, but also shocked the Republic of Japan Navy and the Republic Air Force before the end of the war

Audiences all over the world showed a strong striking ability

Shortly after the end of the war, the Japanese Diet approved the "Budget Amendment for the 2015-2016 Fiscal Year" proposed by the DPJ government

The military budget is the focus of the budget adjustment, and through the issuance of additional treasury bonds, the Japanese government will allocate an additional 28,900 yen, or about 264 US dollars, for military spending to increase by 45 percent

According to the "Military Budget Adjustment Plan" submitted by the Japanese Ministry of Defense, about 69 percent, or $182, of the new military expenditures will be used to directly purchase advanced weapons from the United States or to purchase production licenses and production lines for weapons and equipment, in addition to purchasing domestically produced weapons and equipment such as the third and fourth DDH19 large aircraft-carrying antisubmarine destroyers and speeding up the development of military projects such as the "Shinshin" fighter

At the end of 2015, after only minor revisions, the U.S. Congress approved the "arms sales agreement submitted by President Roddick"

The general content of the public part of the "agreement" is: the sale of 24 F-22s to Japan for a total price of $9.8 billion; The Type 3 anti-ballistic missile system sold 96 Standard-3BLOCKC sea-based interceptor missiles to Japan at a total price of $24, upgraded the "Aegis" system on eight air defense destroyers in the Sea of Japan to the latest version, sold Type A anti-submarine patrol planes and supporting equipment to Japan at a total price of $1.5 billion, and promised Japan the right to have priority in the purchase of F-35 fighters

After the announcement of the "agreement", it immediately caused heated discussions

Even according to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, the F-22J sold in Japan is very different from the F-22 equipped with the US Air Force, and some electronic equipment is more advanced, and the unit price of up to $3.4 billion, which is twice the purchase price of the US military, has also attracted criticism from the Japanese people

In the end, the arms purchase agreement was voted on three times by the Japanese House of Representatives before it was reluctantly passed

The outside world does not know that in the "agreement," in the name of "military procurement," Japan invested $36 to jointly develop military-grade high-performance storage batteries and high-temperature superconducting technology with the United States, and spent $17 to purchase advanced equipment and technology, including electromagnetic catapults, high-strength alloys, and high-power pulse generators, from the United States

Because the republic shattered Japan's dream of normalization, relations between the two countries took a sharp turn for the worse at the end of 2015

At the beginning of 2016, as the United States vigorously pursued the "anti-terrorism strategy", Japan was not only "active", but also picked quarrels and provoked troubles everywhere, for fear that it would not get into trouble

2. Japan announced the expansion of navigation lighthouses on the Diaoyu Islands and the addition of radio navigation facilities

The act was immediately met with resolute opposition from the Republic, leading to a further deterioration in relations between the two sides, and at the end of that month, a Taiwanese civilian team attempted to storm the Diaoyu Islands and destroy the island's navigation lighthouse

4 copies, Japan began to transport construction equipment and engineering materials to the Diaoyu Islands

The Republic of China immediately took action by sending warships and warplanes to intercept the transport ships bound for the Diaoyu Islands, and Japan also took corresponding action, dispatching warships and warplanes from the sea and air to escort the transport ships

The two sides were tense, and the situation suddenly became tense

At that time, Ji Youguo had already ordered the General Staff to draw up an operational plan, and it was time to carry out combat readiness mobilization

The stalemate lasted until the end of the month, and in the absence of a clear statement of support from the United States, Japan quietly withdrew its transport vessels, reduced the intensity of patrols, and withdrew the East China Sea Fleet

The military standoff, which lasted for more than 10 days, quietly ended, and both sides gave in and did not allow the standoff to escalate into a conflict

This military confrontation has not only deepened the contradictions between the two sides, but also laid the foundation for the occurrence of many things

6. At the beginning of last month, the first batch of 12F-22: Guam flew to Kadena Air Base in Okinawa and was officially delivered to the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force

A few days later, Japan once again launched an operation to expand the navigation lighthouse on the Diaoyu Islands and build a radio navigation station

Although Japan has kept a much lower profile in this action and has informed the Republic in advance, the Republic of China is still very firm in its position and resolutely opposes all Japanese expansion activities on the Diaoyu Islands

Under the resolute opposition of the Republic, Japanese transport ships remained anchored in the port of Naha

Will it end there?

Zhao Rundong smiled coldly, if Japan was easy to "tame", what happened before would not have happened

"Lao Zhao ......"

"We should try our best to avoid a military conflict with Japan, after all, Japan is an ally of the United States, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to fight a dog, but ......" Zhao Rundong hesitated a little, and said with a serious expression, "If it is really unavoidable, we must be ruthless and fast, not only to hurt Japan, but also not to give the United States a chance to intervene, or even to give the United States a reason to intervene, and strive to create a peaceful environment for ten years."

Ji Youguo nodded slightly and picked up the cigarette on the table

As the head of state, Ji Youguo's perspective and way of looking at problems are certainly different from that of the Minister of Defense
