Chapter 1599: deadlock

As General Liu expected, the negotiations were at a deadlock from the beginning, and the performance of the Americans was as aggressive as ever.
The first attacker was Lake, the U.S. National Security Assistant of the Creighton Administration. He lodged a serious protest to General Liu. He believed that the launch of the Dongfeng 15 missile by the Chinese mainland had seriously endangered the safety of international commercial waterways. The continuous military exercises in the waters have further exacerbated the further deterioration of the situation, leading to turbulence in the entire East Asian situation. For example, His Excellency Hashimoto Ryutaro, Prime Minister of Japan, has not slept peacefully for a long time...
General Liu responded lightly, saying that the two rounds of missile tests and the many military exercises are routine tests. Didn’t you say that the missiles were not equipped with warheads? How can a missile without a warhead pose a real threat? Americans should not overreact.
Then, he changed the subject again and sternly stated that the Strait issue is China’s internal affair, and the Chinese people will never allow any external forces to interfere. In the
Three Joint Communiqués
, the basic document for the establishment of diplomatic relations, it has been clearly stated as Washington. The bottom line of behavior was drawn, but the Americans took the lead in breaking their promises, first selling advanced fighters to the other side, and then blaming the leaders of the separatist forces. Not only did they issue him a visa, they even allowed him to make public speeches advocating secession in the United States. This seriously violated the spirit of the agreement in the "Three Joint Communiqués." It was the Americans who provoked the dispute in the Strait first, and the United States should be responsible for this cross-strait crisis.
Seeing that he could not take advantage of this topic, Lake immediately moved the battlefield and angrily accused the Chinese mainland of attacking Taiping Island as the first action to use force to break the existing pattern, and said that the United States may take drastic measures to deal with this issue. It is not ruled out that resorting to force will be used to restore the former actual control areas of both sides of the strait.
General Liu responded coldly. At present, the defense of Taiping Island is jointly managed by the armed forces on both sides of the strait. There has been no "use of force" as Lake said, nor has there been actual fighting. The armed forces on both sides of the strait have shown their actions in actions. With enough restraint, the current situation is also working together to protect the safety of Taiping Island. To take a step back, no matter which side of the two sides of the strait actually controls Taiping Island, Taiping Island is China’s inherent territory and will never allow any foreign forces to intervene by force. This behavior will be regarded as an aggressive act by all the people of China. It has attracted firm opposition from all the Chinese people. The Chinese army will also perform its mission of defending the country and resolutely respond to all acts of aggression. China’s land is not tolerated by others. I urge the United States to carefully and calmly consider the gains and losses. Enemy with 1.2 billion people of China!
Both sides are at a bat, and there is no intention to back down, and the words are not concessionary, full of gunpowder.
Seeing that the situation has developed in the direction of a more serious confrontation, the US Defense Minister William Perry signaled that Lake can no longer anger China, because General Liu is obviously a hardline figure among the senior leaders of the China government and threatened him with force. Not only can it not alleviate the already extremely critical situation, but it is more likely to cause further fierce reactions from China Xia. The purpose of the negotiation is to resolve differences and find a solution acceptable to both parties. If possible, try to take advantage of it. It is not to push Huami, the two most important powers in the world, into the abyss of war.
Besides, why should the Americans go to war with China for that island? A war costs money, a lot, a lot of money, and a lot, a lot of lives. It’s almost impossible to win a war with a nuclear power like China. It’s almost impossible to win a full victory like in Ikra. Are you crazy if you can't get any practical benefits and benefits?
Maintaining the status quo of the Strait, allowing the Americans to always have a card to contain China in their hands, and often selling weapons to earn some protection fees for the island, is the most in line with the interests of the United States.
Of course, it needs to be admitted that the action taken by the Chinese to take the Taiping Island is both a dangerous move and a wonderful move. With a fait accompli, even if the Americans want to intervene, it is too late, unless the United States really He can make up his mind to start a war with Huaxia - but that is impossible. Is it really going to start a local maritime war with Huaxia in the South China Sea?
Looking at the paper data alone, an aircraft carrier battle group in the United States and the so-called "aircraft carrier battle group" currently owned by China are singled out in the South China Sea. The United States undoubtedly has the most victory, but from a global perspective, it is not. For sure.
After all, there is the South China Sea, China’s territorial waters, and the nearest land base of the US Army is more than 2,000 kilometers away, which is completely beyond the scope of the US Army’s overseas air bases to support operations. In other words, the US aircraft carrier battle group can only Relying on the strength of the fleet itself, in contrast, China has been equipped with a sufficient number of "Flying Leopard" and "Su-27" fighters to obtain air cover from shore-based fighters, which greatly compensates for the shortcomings of the combat effectiveness of China's aircraft carrier battle group; Also, since 1988, the various military deployments that China has expanded on the Nansha Islands and reefs can also play a certain role. If this battle is really fought, it is not always true who wins and loses.
In other words, if the Mi Army fights with an aircraft carrier battle group, even if it wins, it is likely to be a time-consuming and tragic victory.
But if an aircraft carrier battle group is transferred from the strait, what should China do if it moves from here?
Kinmen, Matsu, and Penghu Islands, wherever something happens, the situation will be more difficult to deal with.
Unless the deployment on the Strait is not moved, and another aircraft carrier battle group is transferred to the South China Sea, it is possible to suppress it.
But that will take time.
There are aircraft on the aircraft carrier, but the aircraft carrier is not an aircraft. If another aircraft carrier battle group is to be transferred from the Middle East or Europe, a large-scale adjustment to the global deployment of the U.S. Navy is required. This movement will be great, and the impact will be even greater. It must be wide, and there must be enough time to sail at sea, which is impossible for every month.
With this month’s time, China is fully able to make further deployments on the islands and reefs where many permanent fixed defense facilities have been built, such as the temporary deployment of more air defense and shore-based missile facilities. Shore to ship poses a greater threat to the US aircraft carrier battle group.
In such a war, the U.S. Army really has no guarantee of victory.
Then Mr. President and Congress will agree that the U.S. Army will fight such a war far away from the mainland, which is not guaranteed to win, and is likely to suffer huge losses, but has no practical benefit to its own side. Fight for a war that is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the mainland. An inexplicable island in the South China Sea?
Besides, even if it is defeated, it is impossible to garrison troops or extract oil, so we have to hand it over to another group of Chinese people... What's the reason for the American people who have been busy for a long time?
Just for disgusting the Huaxia people here, should you fight them again?
So the hope that Congress can pass this war bill is very slim.
From this point of view, the United States of America has actually lost China Xia’s strategy in terms of strategy. The purpose of sending the "Independence" to the Strait to show its strength was not achieved at all, but the Chinese people took the opportunity to "show its strength". There is no way to take this matter.
Obviously, the person planning this operation is not only a master in strategy and tactics, but also has an extremely thorough understanding of the national conditions of the United States!
