At the same time when Christina received the report from the commander of the coast guard of an extraterritorial power, a hu-25d "Guardian" command patrol aircraft belonging to the coast guard of an extraterritorial power was approaching the Yangtze River Delta region at a fast speed over the sea area 270 km northeast of Huanji island.
Captain Steve Cole, who had just got the exact coordinates and directions of the island from Christina, soon found the location of the island on the detailed electronic chart in front of him.
As soon as they were ready to input the coordinates into the mission computer and send them to the coast guard "Hamilton" patrol ship rush, which is also advancing towards the Yangtze River Delta 100 nautical miles away, the voice of China's inland air traffic control personnel came from the international general radio in the cabin:
"hu256817, please inform us your exact location Hu256817, please report your exact location... "
Hearing this, Cole looked at the flashing vertical navigation track on the screen next to him. He suddenly pulled a proud smile on the corner of his mouth, immediately stared at one of them, and said in a calm tone: "128 degrees 13 minutes east longitude, 26 degrees 34 minutes north latitude, altitude 11800 meters, speed 0.75 mach."
"Fortunately, the Chinese air traffic controllers are not here, otherwise, I'm sure they will not hesitate to throw you out of the window of the plane."
Just after Kohl reported his so-called "position", a voice with obvious ridicule came from behind. Kohl shrugged his shoulders and said boldly: "no way, who let the Chinese refuse our good intentions? They can save face, but we can't give up our principles because of the safety of our citizens."
Then he turned his chair and looked at the man behind him. Bill dawn, a Huffington Post reporter with short stature, balding hair and wearing a coast guard commemorative costume, asked in the same ironic tone: "what do you say? Mr. dawn? "
With a smile, dawn handed Cole a cup of instant coffee which had just been brewed. Then he sat on the rest table behind the command desk, sipped his coffee, and had a look at the modern airborne equipment and busy scene in the cabin. His smile was more brilliant, but his words were more cruel: "let me say, the commanders in the rear are still too defensive If it's me, I will definitely send EW planes and fighter planes to come here in case of such a thing. Since my muscles need to be bright, I need to be clear and thorough. I don't want to use the friendly visit of coast guard ships to play such a half hidden trick.
So I think we did a good job in the Arabian Sea last year, even if it turns out to be an oolong, but I think similar events will help us set a benchmark for maintaining world order, rather than become conservative because of an oolong, which will make me a victim of appeasement... "
Donne is worthy of being a senior reporter of the Huffington Post, a conservative media. Although his views are not extreme, they are overbearing enough. However, it is undeniable that Donne's ideas represent the views of a considerable number of Westerners. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the cold war, history seems to have come to an end at this moment, and mankind has entered a new world pattern dominated by the West.
In such a situation, as the leader of the west, a foreign power naturally has to shoulder the responsibility of leading the world and mercilessly suppress all unstable factors, so as to maintain this pattern for a hundred years or even thousands of years.
Based on this point of view, it is not surprising that dawn defended the seizure of Iranian merchant ships by a foreign power in the Arabian Sea last year.
Even if it's a recognized serious mistake and ridiculous oolong, so what? Even if the standard bearer of governing the world makes mistakes, it's justifiable. After all, the starting point is good. What's more, he doesn't cause any losses to the other party, so there's no need to make a fuss.
If we always look ahead and backward because of some small things, who dares to safeguard their national interests in the future?
So this time, after receiving Christina's call for help via satellite phone, dawn felt that since Christina's team has its own citizens, regardless of the country, it should spare no effort to rescue them first.
As a result, the commander of Lashi, who finished the exercise as planned and was going to the Yangtze River Delta for a friendly visit, had to coordinate and communicate with a big power in the East before taking the next step.
Not surprisingly, a big power in the East resolutely refused. If the whole visiting formation was not shouldered with another secret task, the conservative Donne would feel that the commander who was on the rush was a downright softie.
Why worry so much?
Life and death are indifferent. If you don't accept it, you can do it. Otherwise, how can you show the heroic attitude of the winner of the cold war!
Although Cole is also a conservative, he is not as fanatical as Donne, so he looks at him strangely and says how the reporter assigned for this visit is a fanatical psychopath.
It's hard to be tough at any moment, and it's necessary to use a knife and a gun if you feel a little dissatisfied. All kinds of actions are like playing home. With a big stick and a carrot, you can make the world bow to the throne. If it's really easy to do so, what else is the United Nations? Let the president directly take up the post. Make complaints about a long and minute statement.
, but these Tucao Cole can only think about it in his heart, saying it will never be said, at least in the face of dawn, it is impossible to say, because conservative to a certain degree of Daun is not allowed to compromise a little, or else you will have a debate like a lengthy speech.If Cohen is a politician or a lawyer, he may be able to fight against dawn. The problem is that he is an ordinary commander on the hu-25d "Guardian" commanding the patrol plane. He has enough judgment and rationality, but his mouth is not sharp. He can't do anything like that.
So he grinned: "there's no need to use such advanced planes and ships. Their cost per hour is sky high. If it's Russia, it's just a big country in the East Forget it, a country whose regular Navy is not as strong as our coast guard. What do you think they can do? "
Cole didn't say much. In fact, it was just a sentence, that is, how to kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. In fact, it is also true. Another nickname of the coast guard is the second Navy, which is stronger than the regular navies of most countries.
Among them are the naval forces of a big country in the East.
Because the coast guard is better than the navy of a big eastern country in all aspects except submarines. Take the patrol ship rush, which is going to visit the Yangtze River Delta this time, for example. Its displacement is more than 3000 tons, which is the same level as the destroyer 051, the main surface ship of a big eastern country.
But in technology, 051 has been suspended, because this "Hamilton" class patrol ship has used gas turbine, ship combat command center, data link, computer processing center, shipborne helicopter and other advanced shipborne equipment. Compared with 051, 051 can only be regarded as a younger brother.
It is the existence of such a main ship that can only serve as a third line patrol ship in a big country outside the territory. It is not too far to describe the difference between heaven and earth.
In this way, the aircraft is not only suspended, but also rolled.
Donne likes these powerful words, so after listening to Cole's words, he thinks it's reasonable that the coast guard, which is half army and half people, can crush, which is the best display of strength. So the depression in his heart gradually disappears, and a smile finally appears on his thin face: "what you say is reasonable, so I hope this time I can teach them a lesson, a second in company Countries whose navies are inferior should be subject to unconditional domination. This is the iron standard okay? This is... "
Just as dawn was about to set the tone, the indicator light of the international communication radio on the screen suddenly flickered, and Cole didn't care, so he turned on the line. But the next moment, the words of the air traffic control made the careless Cole feel like a thunderbolt, and the whole person was frozen there:
"hu256817, please continue along 126 degrees and 22 minutes east longitude, 24 degrees and 55 minutes north latitude, and the height is 10000 meters At the speed of Mach 0.75, please do not deviate from the route to avoid unnecessary air accidents. "
