Chapter 447 Missile Crisis
Just as Eisenhower was so angry that he was gritting his teeth by Yang Feng, a Ming soldier was standing on an air cushion landing craft on the sea ten kilometers east of St. Martin Island, like an Afghanistan NG warrior, carrying a portable missile on his shoulders and staring at the front through an infrared sight. In the sky ahead of him, a US reconnaissance plane was descending at altitude.
The reconnaissance plane took off from Puerto Rico.
The soldier looked at the officer beside him, who was holding the radio station's receiver for listening.
"Catch it down!"
Then the officer put down the receiver and said.
The soldier immediately pulled the trigger. The front end of this portable missile launcher that was actually a stinger, and a flame flew out instantly. The main engine started on the sea far away from the shooter, and hit the target directly at more than twice the speed of sound.
At this time, it was unprepared. Because the clearest photos were required, the reconnaissance aircraft was preparing to fly directly over Saint Martin to take photos at an altitude of one thousand meters. At this time, it had dropped to less than three thousand meters. When the missile was launched, it even flew over the air cushion landing craft. The high-temperature nozzle at the tail was as eye-catching as the lights of the night in front of the missile's seeker.
The latter drew an elegant arc in the sky and hit the abdomen in a blink of an eye. With an explosion that resounded through the sea, the reconnaissance plane instantly dragged out a roll of smoke, like a falling shell, and it hit the sea. Almost at the same time, the pilot bounced out of the cockpit.
In the Pentagon in Washington, Michael Roy looked at Eisenhower with inquiring eyes.
"Continue to send reconnaissance planes."
Eisenhower said gritting his teeth.
Soon the second appeared in the sky in the western part of St. Martin. After knowing that the Ming army had a portable air defense missile, the reconnaissance aircraft did not dare to fly too low. Instead, it maintained a height of 5,000 meters. Although the clarity of taking photos at this height was not very good, it was basically possible to make do with it. How big the Yi-style missile is, not to mention that there are so many supporting vehicles, you can see it clearly with just a photo in the sky.
However, just after the reconnaissance plane entered the ten kilometers of St. Martin, two cobra helicopters appeared.
"If you dare to fire, shoot down!"
Eisenhower said viciously in the Pentagon that he wanted Yang Feng to know that he was not easy to bully, and that he would also dare to play hard if he got angry.
However, they just opened fire, but the ones shot down were US reconnaissance planes.
"Damn it. It's the Thunderbolt Missile!"
The unlucky American pilot screamed in horror, and two thousand meters below him, a Pili Air-to-air missile was dragging a white tail, flying out from under the short wings of the Cobra helicopter, and then arrived in front of him at a very fast speed. The American pilot desperately controlled his plane and made a rolling move, barely avoiding the attack of the Pili missile. Unfortunately, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the latter turned a corner in the distance and then ran into him again.
This time he didn't avoid it.
The thunder missile directly hit the right wing of the reconnaissance aircraft. With the explosion of flames, the half-wing separated from the aircraft with countless debris, and at this time the altitude had dropped to less than three thousand meters. It fell like a heavy stone. Due to angle problems, the pilot even ran into the sea with the aircraft before he had time to parachutize.
"Send another, send high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, send rb57, and send u2."
Eisenhower said with a ferocious face in the Pentagon.
"President, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that Ambassador Mingguo was protesting against our fighter jets invading their airspace."
At this time, the presidential assistant said.
"Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs respond, they have not yet grasped this situation, and they need to investigate and verify before making a reply."
Eisenhower said without hesitation.
Well, this is how the US Foreign Ministry responded. Although the news that the US reconnaissance plane was shot down near Saint Martin at this time had already been sent to the editor-in-chief of major media in major countries around the world through the journalists who were waiting for big news. Even some fast-moving radio stations have begun to urgently broadcast this news that shocked the world, the US Foreign Ministry has not grasped the relevant situation.
Of course, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Empire, which had not yet grasped the relevant situation.
But this does not prevent the news from spreading in the world at a speed like a nuclear explosion shock wave. Everyone was stunned by the thunderous and lightning-like means of Chief Yang. How did he transport a total of twenty Yi-style missiles? How did he send it ashore overnight and complete the deployment, and how did he deceive the CIA through the truth? This is too incredible, right? It feels like a Hollywood blockbuster.
This thing is not a balloon, it is hundreds of vehicles and thousands of soldiers. Twenty missiles alone will weigh hundreds of tons. There is no port where large freighters can dock, and these things cannot be transported by Hercules transport aircraft. Even if he has an air cushion landing craft, he can transport twenty Yi missiles and supporting launch systems to ashore overnight to complete the deployment, which can be described as incredible.
Of course, it was more important to be shocked by his courage.
What is this for?
This is a naked stabbing American flowers.
Can that place deploy nuclear missiles? Although he bought that place to cause trouble for the United States, this kind of thing is usually said to be OK, and pretending to be deployed there. If it really does, it is to force the United States to the dead end! It can even be said to be an informal declaration of war.
Do you know how you can build your family?
Especially in Western European countries, they felt a sense of collapse at this time. Although they became increasingly alienated from the United States and Yang Feng, their European friends still felt that this guy had done a bit too much this time. After all, we are still part of the free world. Although it is inevitable that everyone will stab each other intrigues, it is not appropriate to do so.
However, all forces, including Britain, Gaul and other countries, did not respond immediately to this, because first of all, they had to confirm that the news was true or false. After all, the Ming Dynasty did not admit that they deployed missiles, but at this time it was difficult for those spies to reconnaise the military restricted area. After shooting down the US reconnaissance plane, the Ming army expanded the sea blockade range to ten kilometers. If you want to see what there is, you can only go from the sky.
Of course, Eisenhower did the job.
Two hours after the second was shot down, a slender black reconnaissance plane passed through St. Martin like a ghost. This time it was not attacked because its flight altitude was 24,000 meters that made all fighters currently desperate. Such a flight altitude not to mention the Cobra helicopter, even the latest ghost heavy fighter of the Ming army could only look up, and even the best javelin surface-to-air missiles at this time could not reach.
This is the latest high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of the US military, the famous U2.
It soon sent the photos of St. Martin taken at high altitude to Eisenhower. On the screen where the slideshows were played, the Ming army's missile positions suddenly appeared. The real missile positions, twenty launch vehicles and twenty vertical Yi missiles were clearly visible. Various supporting vehicles were crowded with not too large launch sites, and there were even the Ming army's Eagle-type mobile air defense missile positions around. If you look closely, you can vaguely see the busy soldiers.
"What the hell does he want to do this bastard?"
Eisenhower said with his lips trembling as he looked at the aerial photos played in front of him.
There is nothing to doubt now. Yang Feng, a bastard, used his hovercraft and semi-submersible combination to deceive the CIA. He first served as a Shanghai Marine in Dubai, and then used a hovercraft to exchange for missiles that had been prepared from the dock landing ship halfway, and then drove to St. Martin Island in a panic, and then took advantage of the fact that the hovercraft did not need a dock to transport it directly to the shore and completed the combat deployment overnight.
However, this move kept him in a position.
Because now the ace is in Yang Feng's hands, he has all the initiative, and the US government is completely passive. If these missiles are not deployed but are in transportation, then the US Navy must intercept even if it fights a naval battle, and even if it loses several aircraft carriers, it is too late to do anything else.
He could no longer send bombers to throw bombs or send a Jupiter missile to destroy the position.
Because once it is destroyed, even if only one missile is launched, the casualties will be caused to the United States in millions, and Yang Feng's nuclear retaliation will also be risked. After all, Xia-class submarines and Julang missiles are not easy to mess with, especially when the United States still cannot form an effective nuclear deterrent to the Ming Dynasty.
Their Jupiter missiles have just completed their final tests, and the first batch of missiles are still being manufactured in the factory.
The Cosmic God Intercontinental Missile is still under test, and the Polaris submarine-launched missile and the Washington nuclear submarine have not been completed, which can be said to be in a window period.
Then the only thing that can be done is to negotiate with Yang Feng to remove these missiles through diplomatic means, but at that time he would have to let him slaughter.
At this time, Eisenhower suddenly understood why Yang Feng, who had always abides by the rules of the political game, suddenly had such a neurotic way of doing this. This bastard was preparing to blackmail. As for what he wanted to blackmail, he had to ask him.
After understanding this, Eisenhower calmed down. If this was the case, then this matter would be easier to solve.
"President, what should we do?"
Allen Dulles said carefully that the reason for all this was largely due to the dereliction of duty of the CIA. If they had not been deceived by Yang Feng, then all this would not have happened, so he was also full of self-blame.
"What to do? Do nothing!"
Eisenhower said gritting his teeth. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
