Chapter 764: Stunning the Mountain and Shocking the Tiger, the Majesty of a Great Power
There are three days left before the exercise officially begins.
As the time gets closer, many coastal defense departments in Asia are becoming anxious.
Everyone knows that behind the apparent peace, there are undercurrents.
To outsiders, the exercise is just a simulated war and an emergency training for the troops.
But in fact, behind any large-scale exercise, there are very profound meanings and impacts.
Once the exercise begins, the military expenditure consumed is almost a bottomless pit. Every fighter plane and every warship, as long as it is started, will become a money-eating beast.
Even getting married would require choosing an auspicious date and coinciding with holidays, let alone such a large-scale exercise.
The scale of this exercise has risen to a contest between two war zones, with the number of troops deployed being equivalent to a division.
It also includes naval warfare, landing operations, and even urban strikes.
This means that the exercises will become more complex and comprehensive than before.
Normally, domestic exercises involve confrontations between regiments of around a thousand people.
Occasionally there would be confrontations between brigades involving several thousand men.
But it was a division-level confrontation, and it was a temporarily mixed division that included the navy, army, air force and the Second Artillery.
Both sides dispatched a total of 20,000 to 30,000 troops, equipped with all kinds of high-tech weapons, which really made the surrounding neighbors unable to sleep.
I was afraid that one or two firecrackers would fall on my head while I was sleeping and explode.
Even so, you still don't dare to come to my door...
Even though it's just a simulation drill, what if there are uninvited guests outside?
Then they will immediately go from simulation to real combat, and that is the scariest thing!
At this time, an emergency meeting was being held in a coastal defense department in Sakura.
The Director of the Coast Guard, who was sitting at the top, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and looked at everyone present.
"We must be extremely vigilant during the upcoming coastal patrol missions."
"Although, according to intelligence, the area where they are conducting exercises is still a long way from our waters."
"But it's always right to be cautious. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. At this critical juncture, what we need to do is to be vigilant."
One of the subordinates asked, "Sir, America's fleet is just passing through. I think with them here, the University of Tokyo should..."
The Director of the Coastal Defense Administration shook his head. "There's an old saying in Yan Country: lean on the mountain and it will fall, lean on the water and it will flow. Those guys are unreliable."
"Also, I just received news that their fleet has changed its planned route."
"That's because Yan Country suddenly announced that they would be conducting military exercises in that location. They have designated a large area around it as a military restricted zone. Anyone approaching without permission will bear the consequences..."
Upon hearing this, the people below were instantly in an uproar. They obviously didn't expect that the guy who had always been so arrogant would actually admit defeat one day?
They just announced that no one could get close to that place, but people actually took a detour?
The director also said that senior American officials have protested against the University of the East.
They feel that what they are doing is against the rules and not in compliance with international maritime law.
As a result, no one paid any attention to it and pretended not to hear it.
There was an uproar in the conference room, and everyone had a vague sense that something was wrong.
Because the so-called protest is a helpless act when one is really powerless.
Even those old hooligans started to protest, which shows that they are really afraid and really dare not.
At this point, everyone realized that the godfather they recognized seemed a little unreliable.
"In short, as before, we must intensify maritime patrols and keep everyone on high alert."
"Hay."
After the meeting, many people were still discussing the matter enthusiastically.
Such exercises have occurred in the past, but they were limited to maritime drills, with artillery shells hitting secondary targets.
But if it were just that, they wouldn't have to worry, but when combined with the beach landing, it becomes a bit intriguing.
At this moment, not only Sakura, but also F Monkey was in a panic.
Before, they were forced to take the blame and they still haven't cleared themselves of it.
Because of that incident, they lost a lot of islands and the nearby marine resources around the islands.
Although those islands did not belong to them, they were stolen bit by bit through their own abilities.
But because of that incident, they were forced to return most of them.
This move has made the situation in this already poor region even worse.
Now, people are coming here to conduct exercises, which makes them feel unsure.
Maybe it's because I've done too many bad things, so I'm always worried that someone will come to my door to get me punished.
"Sir, their intention is obvious. They want to intimidate us."
"I think to be on the safe side, we should evacuate the remaining people on the island."
"At this time, what we need to do is to play it safe, like an ostrich, burying our heads in the sand, pretending we know nothing and haven't seen anything."
"If possible, we can even send a telegram to warmly congratulate them on the success of their exercise after it is over..."
The superiors thought that this might be a bit too cowardly, since they were, after all, a major exporter of service personnel.
Their servants are very famous all over the world, and this is also one of their pillar industries.
"Sir, there's an old saying in Yan Country: if you can be patient, you will have a peaceful sea; if you take a step back, you will have a brighter future."
"During this period, we should be more at ease. It's definitely the right thing to do. As for America, we just need to play dumb and wait until their exercise is over before we deal with anything else."
The superiors thought about it for a long time and felt that this was the only way at the moment. Who asked them to have the blame on them?
They have no strength to begin with, and now they are carrying a big blame. If someone really wants to deal with them, they will have no say.
But they were really wronged. They paid such a huge price for something they had not done.
......
On the other side, there is the endless sea.
An aircraft carrier battle group is sailing.
On the aircraft carrier No. xxx, the commander with four stars on his shoulders had a gloomy expression.
He never imagined that his superiors would ask them to change their sailing route to make way for Yan Country's exercises.
As the world's police beacon of civilization, they always go wherever they want to go. There has never been a precedent of them giving way to others. It is always others who give way to them.
"What a shame, what a shame!"
The four-star commander was extremely angry and it was obvious that he couldn't swallow this humiliation.
He even wanted to secretly send two ships to approach that area to provoke the other party.
It's the "I'm in, I'm out, I'm in, I'm out again, hit me, idiot" kind.
The commander discussed it with several staff officers and decided that they could provoke them and play a trick on them.
But just as the commander was about to give the order, someone on the ship exclaimed and pointed at a small white dot in the farthest distance.
"What it is?"
"Is it a ship?"
“Where did it come from?”
The commander quickly looked over with a high-precision telescope and found that it was a ship that was completely white with several balls on its back.
He looked down at the unresponsive radar display, furious. "Why is there nothing showing on the radar? Where did they come from? Ghosts?"
The subordinates quickly asked a ship on the left wing, which was equipped with the latest radar monitoring system.
But the sound over there was really crackling and it was hard to hear clearly.
"The signal is interfered with!"
The commander's face suddenly turned ugly. When he got closer, he saw what kind of ship it was.
055 destroyer!
Commonly known as, the slippery number!
