After the helicopter returned, Yuxing cruised near the five fishing boats for a while. After the fleet replaced the engine seals and returned, he still followed the fleet on the seabed to escort them for a while, and then commanded the "Chen's 01" submarine to During a day of patrolling the South China Sea, he saw several waves of foreign fishing boats and armed ships returning quickly to his country. He did not take action again. One demonstration could already frighten neighboring countries that had invaded and occupied China's islands and reefs for a period of time. There was no need to add more twists and turns.
He ordered two submarines to patrol around Huangyan Island in the South China Sea and be on guard. He took the 01 ship back to his villa in Fengjing at 7pm on Saturday the 23rd. He took a leisurely bath in the villa and took a fragrant four-phoenix and phoenix bath, had a delicious whole seafood feast, and then fell asleep on the bed.
Yuxing didn't know that the whole world had been turned upside down because of the cannon he fired and the torpedo he fired. Niu Niu did not regard this incident as a major event at all, and did not inform Yuxing of the reactions of countries around the world to this incident.
At 10:52 on the 22nd, the Chinese General Staff and the top brass of the Communist Party of China received the news that in the waters of Huangyan Island, the patrol ship "Del Pilar" of the South Philippines and a government ship of the country were driving. Five Chinese fishing boats shot at our fishing boat many times. At 10:07 the patrol ship "Del Pilar" was destroyed by an unknown weapon, and at 10:31 the official ship was destroyed by a small torpedo. The helicopters that our army arrived witnessed these two attacks, but the nationality of the attackers was unknown and the attack vector was unknown.
At 12:30 noon, the head of Huaguo No. 1 held an emergency military meeting in the *** conference room attended by the relevant departments of the *** and the General Staff.
Chief of the General Staff Liang Jianguo spoke first: "Chairman, Vice Chairman and colleagues attending the meeting, everyone has read the summary of the emergency incident in the Huangyan Island waters. We have arranged for the relevant departments to launch an investigation into this incident. We won't talk about the investigation work.
The most urgent thing now is how to resolve the impact of this incident and discuss subsequent response measures. A few minutes before the meeting, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of my country received a written protest from the South Philippine Ambassador to China. Let us provide a reasonable explanation for this incident, severely punish the perpetrators and compensate the South Philippines for all losses. The Philippines will submit this incident to the United Nations for discussion.
According to fishermen at the scene, the patrol ship 'Del Pilar' was destroyed by an unknown attack a few minutes before our military helicopters arrived at the sea area where the incident occurred. The official ship was destroyed by a submarine-launched torpedo 100 nautical miles away from the southwest. Caused. Our military aircraft did not launch missiles or torpedoes. Our naval force also has no other submarines or ships performing missions in this area. This shows what? It should be clear to everyone.
The first is that there are countries with malicious intentions that are threatening our country with war, such as Japan, India, and Northern Russia. This will worsen the bilateral relations between my country and the Philippines and even provoke a local war between the two countries, which will in turn cause tension in the relations between my country and ASEAN. In order to curb China's economic development, the even more vicious purpose is to pull the United States into trouble and put our country and the United States into a state of war.
The second is that the United States secretly took advantage of the tension between China and the Philippines to return to the Subic naval and air military base to complete the strategic purpose of the United States' "pivot to Asia" in shifting the focus of its foreign, economic, and security policies to Asia. And strengthen the blockade of our country by the first island chain to curb the influence of our military on the world.
Regardless of the above situation, I think we should actively respond and turn negative factors into positive factors. Seize the opportunity to seize actual control of the South China Sea Islands. Countries surrounding the South China Sea have invaded and occupied my country's islands and reefs for many years to the point of being unscrupulous and ignored my country's warnings. Now is the time and we should make our voices heard in the South China Sea to show our presence. To achieve this goal, we must not only Just protesting when something happens can be achieved. We need to show our powerful military power to these rogue countries. Only in this way will it be conducive to my country's actual control and claims over the islands and reefs in the South China Sea.
Countries surrounding the South China Sea, with the covert support of the United States, not only did not take our warnings seriously, but instead spoke tougher and treated our country's military power as a display. Therefore, it is very necessary for us to dry our muscles.
Therefore, I suggest that the Guangdong-Guangzhou Military Region, the Shangjing Military Region and the South China Sea Fleet enter a state of first-level combat readiness. Alert to threats from all aspects, the South China Sea Fleet submarine force entered the South China Sea for combat readiness and duty, and strategic nuclear submarines, all equipped with live ammunition, entered predetermined sea areas for strategic duty. At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense actively mediated with relevant countries to explain the incident based on the actual situation, and lodged a serious protest against the shooting of Chinese unarmed fishing boats by Philippine official ships and warships. Let me say this first. "
After Liang Jianguo finished speaking his radical suggestion, he lit a cigarette and took a long puff. Feeling uneasy, he put the cigarette out in the ashtray and exhaled a long breath. The back of the seat does not move. There was a burst of "Weng Weng" discussion in the conference room.
The so-called first-level combat readiness refers to the combat readiness state of the troops when the situation is extremely tense and the signs of war against our country are very obvious. Guns and ammunition are distributed to soldiers, and quick reaction troops are stationed according to regions. The main task of the troops entering the first-level combat readiness state is to mobilize for combat readiness; combat readiness personnel are on duty day and night, and the radio command network listens around the clock to ensure uninterrupted command; they use various reconnaissance methods to closely monitor enemy movements and carry out emergency expansion and combat readiness reserve teams. and the military region's combat readiness duty units, which are fully staffed according to wartime establishment, and the required equipment is prioritized according to supplementary capabilities; position matching is completed; various guarantees are implemented; troop personnel, weapons, and equipment are evacuated and disguised; the left-behind agencies organize personnel to evacuate to predetermined areas; Improve the action plan, complete all war preparations, and the troops are on standby.
Therefore, entering a state of first-level combat readiness is an extremely cautious and serious matter for a country. Its impact is extremely wide. Not only will domestic affairs undergo major changes, but international affairs and multilateral relations will also undergo major revisions. The impact on the development of the national economy cannot be ignored. This major issue related to the national economy and people's livelihood needs to be fully discussed and studied.
Chief No. 1 coughed, and when the conference room became quiet, he said: "We can fully discuss whether the suggestions put forward by Comrade Liang Jianguo are feasible. This emergency started with the provocation of the South Philippines against our country, and ended with It ended with an inexplicable armed conflict. Its intention is worth pondering. This incident has a great impact on the world situation and the overall peaceful development of our country.
Some countries with ulterior motives took advantage of this incident to add fuel to the flames and raise the tone of China's threat theory. The desire to destroy China will never die. We will never allow it to use such despicable means to stir up discord between our country and neighboring countries, and to attack and vilify our country's international image. We will give it a strong counterattack.
How to expose and prevent the conspiracy hidden in this emergency incident, we must start from many aspects. A detailed explanation of the incident to the world is one. Diplomatic mediation is also one of the necessary means, but military preparation is also Indispensable, there is a folk saying that if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of just in case. Everyone spoke freely and clearly distinguished the pros and cons. "
Admiral Wu Dajie, commander of the Navy, said: "I agree with Commander Liang's statement. I would like to highlight several doubts raised by this incident. The first is what kind of weapons can operate without any trajectory. Hitting a military ship with a radar system, the protection system on the warship did not respond at all; what kind of destructive force produced by the weapon reduced the 4,500-ton displacement warship to nothing, leaving no debris or floating objects. The second is. What country has a self-tracking advanced torpedo with a length of only 1.5 meters, a speed of 280 knots, and a range of more than 100 nautical miles? The warhead of this torpedo does not exceed 5 kilograms. What kind of explosive is it capable of destroying steel with a displacement of more than 300 tons? The ability to blow ships into pieces. What is the nature of the third launch platform, an aircraft, a surface ship, or a submarine? My helicopter's airborne radar did not detect any suspicious objects within a 100-mile range. What is this stealth launch platform?
The questions I raised give us a revelation that this country hiding in the dark has strong scientific and technological strength and military strength. We need to treat it with caution. "
Vice Chairman Guo Shuying continued: "I hold a positive attitude towards the speeches of both of them. Strengthening the alert in the South China Sea region is an emergency measure that must be taken at this stage. The nature of this incident can be characterized as a country with ill intentions against our country. War threats. There may be a deeper meaning hidden in this that we are not aware of, so we must not be careless. I would like to add a suggestion to launch fixed-point reconnaissance satellites planned to be launched in the first half of next year over the South China Sea in the near future to conduct comprehensive surveillance. The dynamics of neighboring countries and their military activities."
General Chang Wujiang, Minister of General Armament, said: "I deeply agree with the three doubts mentioned by Lao Wu. As far as the current situation of our country's equipment, there is no equipment that can reach the technological level of these two weapons. I think the United States is now The technological level of the weapons displayed to the world is far from reaching this level. Does the US military have any hidden killer weapons? Our intelligence department must work hard. At the same time, I think this is the most severe time our country is facing. It is essential to prepare for emergencies. I agree with the suggestions of the above-mentioned comrades, and the southeast coastal military region has entered a state of first-level combat readiness."
Next, all the members of the Military Commission spoke one by one. They elaborated on the importance of entering a state of first-level combat readiness from multiple international and domestic perspectives. The negotiation rules between Huafei and Huami and the necessity of international mediation were also explained. The meeting lasted until 5 p.m.
At 5:30, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense jointly held a press conference in the Press Conference Hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
More than seven hours have passed since this incident. Domestic and foreign reporters have a general understanding of this incident, so more than 200 domestic and foreign reporters gathered in the press conference room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense introduced the incident and emphasized that it was not aircraft, warships or submarines of the Chinese military that destroyed the two Philippine ships, but torpedoes launched from a military launch platform of unknown nationality. Huaguo does not assume any responsibility. The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a serious protest against the Philippines' shooting at an unarmed Chinese fishing boat, demanding an apology from the Philippines, compensation for the fishermen's economic losses, and a guarantee that similar things will not happen again. The two spokespersons also answered reporters' questions.
