Chapter 437 Retaliation
The US troops trapped in the Brunei Palace, or the Annan Army Special Operations Team, finally came out to surrender with a white flag before the Ming army's ultimatum period arrived. Not to mention His Majesty's guard, in fact, they surrendered earlier than the US troops. His Majesty Sultan was originally preparing to commit suicide proudly, but later he did not have the courage to pull the trigger.
Of course, according to his statement, it is mainly that Allah does not allow suicide.
In short, he was eventually arrested by the police of the Beipo federal government. As for how to interrogate him, it will be the future. Anyway, his title of Sultan has been deprived, but unexpectedly, the title of Brunei royal family was not deposed. The title of Sultan was inherited by Saifudin's son, who was only twelve years old this year, but he only retained an empty title. Let's not talk about power, similar to the sultans in the Ming Empire Parliament.
Actually not as good as the latter.
After all, those Sultans have large tracts of their own land, and the rent collection every year is quite considerable, not to mention the lifelong MPs.
But the Brunei royal family only has a few palaces and personal property that belonged to them. Although this property is also huge, if it is not good at managing, it will eventually be useless. As for oil and natural gas, it belongs to the Brunei people. Of course, it is impossible to divide the money for them. At most, they are part of the Brunei people.
This result made those guys who were eagerly waiting for the Ming and American war almost cry. Although the Americans are famous for bullying the weak and fearing the strong, you are brave enough to be so embarrassing, okay? Isn’t it just that someone killed hundreds of people? You have six aircraft carriers and hundreds of combat aircraft. If you need to support you, you have more than a dozen active aircraft carriers in other places. Your long-range bombers are more than a thousand kilometers away from the Ming army. You also have nuclear bombs, long-range missiles, and...
In short, why does such a powerful military force wither so easily?
Not to mention them, even the generals of the Ming army couldn't believe that this conflict would be resolved so simply.
"What's so strange about this? The United States is powerful, but they are not the only one in the world. If we really start a full war with us or even use nuclear bombs, the result is that all their bases in Ryukyu, Guam, Luzon, and Annan have been erased, and more than one-third of their naval power have been erased, and even the bases of Japan and Goryeo are not spared. Everything they have obtained in the Western Pacific for half a century has disappeared. Then the Soviets will happily take away everything they have thrown away.
Just to grab a sesame seed and throw away a watermelon, who would be so stupid?
What's more, they don't have the ability to throw nuclear bombs on our heads. The bombers are simply impossible to break through our air defense network. Not to mention those rotten long-range cruise missiles, it is estimated that even accurate to us is their ballistic missiles. However, both Thor and Jupiter must be deployed within our missiles and bombers ranges. Now they do not have these two things in the Western Pacific. They must be transported from the local area and then a launch site must be built.
We have nothing to say in peacetime, will we allow this to happen once war begins?
After all, they don’t have many cards to play!"
Yang Feng said with a sneer.
Only then did he realize that the Americans really had no choice but to do it. The bombers were useless, the Soviets had already demonstrated it well, and long-range cruise missiles were a joke. They only had medium-range ballistic missiles, and both Jupiter and Thor were still in the test stage, and it was impossible to deploy them in actual combat. In fact, they conducted nine Jupiter test firings this year, but in the end they only succeeded five times. And they were able to deploy actual combat only Redstone. This is a medium- and short-range missile, and even if it was deployed Annan, it would be impossible to play Yingtian. It can be said that the only card that the United States can play is the terrifying scale of more than a dozen aircraft carriers. But unfortunately, the aircraft could not beat Tiger Shark and their aircraft carriers.
"Head of the People's Republic of China announced the successful test of the Cosmic God Intercontinental Missile."
At this moment, Hu Hao hurried to the command hall and said.
"The test shot was successful?"
Yang Feng was stunned for a moment.
"I'm afraid not?"
Then he said.
Well, he guessed it right this time, the Americans lied, and their cosmic god A failed test shot again, saying that it was because this was the second test shot of this kind of missile. They had already conducted it once in June, but the missile launch failed. However, this time it was still unsuccessful. In order to scare him and to save the declining deterrent force of the United States, Eisenhower simply announced that it was successful. Anyway, it will be successful sooner or later.
By the way, Lao Ai was also quite frustrated at this time. The failure of Brunei's operation caused great harm to him, especially those pro-Ming politicians in the parliament and members of the Western Agricultural State, who lashed out at the action they described as clown-like funny performances. He even asked him to go to the Senate to accept face-to-face questions and explain why it turned out to be like this, making the entire United States a clown internationally. You offended Britain and France in the Suez Canal War. Until now, the rift has not been closed. You actually went to provoke Yang Feng again, turning the mainstay of Asia, the free world, into an enemy. You offended all the people on both sides of Asia and Europe. Are they enemies of the United States or Soviets?
Under this situation, Lao Ai couldn't wait to make something exciting, so the Universe God Missile had to succeed even if it didn't succeed.
However, Lao Ai did not expect that Yang Feng was not ready to leave any face for him. On the second day after the US government announced that the test of the Cosmic God Missile was successful, Starry Sky TV station under Yang Feng's control presented various evidence to prove that the launch test was not successful at all. Not only was the missile test not successful, but the previous news about the service of the 104 Battlestar was also fake. So far, no US Air Force squadron has been replaced with a new fighter that is said to be up to Mach 2. In addition, even if this fighter is really in service, there is nothing to be boast about, because it is just a pure daytime fighter and does not have the ability to fight all-weather like the ghosts of the Ming army.
At the end, the TV station pointed out bluntly that if you want to truly defend the airspace of the United States and allied countries, it is better to simply learn from European countries to buy ghost fighter jets from Yang Feng, or purchase the production rights of such fighter jets, and ease the relationship between the two sides by the way.
The reveal of Star TV's old secrets caused an uproar among the American people. Although everyone knows that more than half of the equity of this TV station is in the hands of DreamWorks, and it must be Yang Feng's intentional instructions to do so, the problem is that what they said is true. All kinds of evidence are clearly revealed, all the evidence is conclusive, and all the evidence can clearly prove that the Eisenhower government has indeed lied about these two things. As a government, even its own people are deceived. So what qualifications do you have as the president have to do now?
For a time, public opinion in the United States surged.
The Democratic Party, headed by the Kennedy family, who is closely related to Yang Feng, has seized on this matter and made a big fuss, and some even proposed to impeach Lao Ai.
"Yes, revenge, I am revenge. I did not bring anyone to trouble me, but they suddenly came to cause trouble for me. Of course I have to take revenge. Although I have always had a good temper, I have not been bullied yet. I admit that I am controlling Southeast Asia, but I control Southeast Asia to unite all countries and form a strong fortress to resist the Soviet power. I think there is no place to hinder the United States.
Have I reached out to Luzon? Have I reached out to Taian? Even after calling Ryukyu for so many years, I have never really reached out to me, but they have reached out to me again and again.
Well, I'll endure it if they snatch Annan away.
But it would be fine if they could do better after snatching Annan?
Look at what is going on there now? Can Wu Tingyan really control other than Saigon? The Vietnamese guerrillas control more places than him. If it weren't for them, I would now help Nguyen Phuc to turn it into a free country that is as prosperous and stable as the Khmer, but now it may not take a few years to become Nguyen Aiguo's pocket."
Yang Feng said to his father-in-law with a sneer.
The latter smiled and patted him on the shoulder. It was obvious that the British government supported him to fight with the United States. Anyway, as long as it didn't fight, because the British who had a breath of anger in the Suez Canal War, this time I hope someone could vent their anger.
After saying that, Yang Feng said to an officer in front of him: "Let's start!"
The latter salutes and leaves.
At this time, they were standing on the Shuntian aircraft carrier. After the officer left, everyone, including Yang Feng, raised their telescopes and stared at the sea several kilometers away. The windless blue sea surface was as smooth as a mirror, but less than a minute later, the sea surface suddenly exploded. Almost at the same time, a white giant beast soared into the sky with its sea water, and appeared in the air in a blink of an eye. It looked particularly spectacular with huge white waves on the background of the blue sky and blue sea.
Just as people screamed excitedly, blazing flames from its tail erupted out, pushing its short and thick body with a length of nearly ten meters but a diameter of nearly one and a half meters, rushing straight to the sky with a slightly tilted trajectory. The speed became faster and faster. In a blink of an eye, it disappeared from people's vision, leaving only a gradually dissipating tail. At the same time, including sea warships, sky early warning aircraft, and large land-based radar stations, they immediately began to report their whereabouts.
This is an underwater launch pad test of the Ming army's submarine-launched ballistic missile.
And the name of this missile is...
Huge wave. (To be continued.)
