Chapter 296 Electromagnetic gun exposed

"Use of force in the West Sea? Cannons roared, and several islands were razed to the ground!"

"New weapons, the worse they are, the more miserable they will be sacrificed to the sword!"

"To fight or not to fight? Yue entered a state of full alert and several fighter planes took off."

"J-20B takes off again, when will its hegemony end?"

After the gunfire in the West China Sea, the global media exploded.

No one could have expected such a development. Even Vietnam did not react in a short period of time.

——

Yes, they did enter full alert, but the so-called alert only meant recalling soldiers who were originally on leave.

As for what should be done next and what can be done, no one has any ideas.

After all, what they were facing was a weapon they had never seen before.

Under its power, more than ten long-established islands in Vietnam were reduced to rubble overnight. The sensation caused by this incident was no less than the conflict itself.

Even the originally turbulent international public opinion was led a little astray.

In addition to the usual support and condemnation, some media began to discuss China's new artillery.

They quickly came to the conclusion:

That is the legendary electromagnetic gun that has been put on the ship.

I never expected that this cannon would appear in such a form.

Who has seen it?

According to the normal procedure, even if it is an audition, shouldn’t we hit the target first?

However, a statement quickly silenced all doubting voices.

"At the end of June, we organized a small-scale exercise at sea and used new weapons in the exercise."

"This exercise did not cause any casualties or property losses. The targets used in the exercise were all uninhabited desert islands within our territorial waters."

As soon as this statement was released, almost everyone was dumbfounded.

Small-scale exercise?

Within territorial waters?

Uninhabited desert island?

There are so many elements that I don’t even know which one to start with.

Is it a "small-scale exercise" that blows up more than a dozen islands at once, or is it "territorial waters" all located in disputed areas, or is it an "uninhabited desert island" full of barracks and living facilities?

Perhaps the only thing that can be believed in the entire message is the word "no one".

After all, even according to Vietnamese reports, the shelling did occur after their personnel left.

Discussions on this report are overwhelming on the Chinese Internet.

However, netizens who are paying attention to this matter seem to have been laughed at. Apart from serious discussions, the word that appears most frequently is "hahaha".

"Hahahahaha, it's so funny. It's like telling lies in a serious manner and practicing it right at the doorstep of people's homes."

"Upstairs, your thoughts are very dangerous. You have to remember that it is not their doorstep, it is our doorstep!"

". It seems to make sense. Although it means the same thing, if you put it in another way, the feeling will completely change."

"Vietnam didn't resist? Isn't this too strange?"

"Resist? What are they using to resist? I can blow up your island, but I can't blow up your ship?"

"Early warning aircraft are flying in the sky, electromagnetic guns are mounted on the sea, and they have a range of hundreds of kilometers. How many do you have to come and you are not ordered to do so one by one?"

"Yes. But is that electromagnetic gun really that powerful?"

As soon as this comment was posted, the focus of everyone's attention was instantly shifted.

From the initial discussion of hooliganism to relieve anger, we turned to the real protagonist of this incident.

"I don't know. At present, the official has not announced specific performance parameters, not even vague ones. They just admitted that it is a new weapon."

"But the victim will definitely not lie. Go check the news they posted. There are clear pictures on it."

"All the barracks were blown up, leaving only a few ruins."

"This is true for more than a dozen islands, and it is said that the attack was completed within half an hour. During this period, the 052C that fired the gun didn't even move much. It just stood there and fired."

"Awesome. Based on the distance between these islands, the range of the electromagnetic gun should be more than 200 kilometers, right?"

"There should be 400 to 500, and the furthest cannot exceed 500. This thing is also affected by the curvature of the earth."

"Don't say 400, even 300 is still strong enough."

"When did it come out? This is too sci-fi. Why do I feel like it's like the cyberpunk world now? There are sci-fi weapons everywhere on a macro level, but we ordinary people are still using old-fashioned technology."

“It’s normal for the military industry to rise, but civilian industry to fail to keep up.”

"Just wait a minute, you'll get up soon."

Everyone on the Internet was discussing this incident enthusiastically, and the atmosphere could even be described as cheering. However, on the other side, the Vietnamese Internet was filled with gloom and gloom.

Compared with the military, these ordinary people who really care about the military can even understand the current situation better.

"We are going to completely lose this sea. If the Air Force's previous defeat only prevented us from confronting them head-on, now we have completely lost the space for activities in this sea."

"Not necessarily? They just have a relatively powerful naval gun. In theory, even without this gun, their missile system is enough to suppress us."

"That's completely different. Missiles are a high-cost solution and are extremely sensitive. They will not use them at will unless there are extreme circumstances."

"But the cannon is different. It has a low cost, a low threshold for use, and the chain reaction it triggers is relatively weak."

"So, they cannot use missiles anytime and anywhere, because once they are used, it means a large-scale war."

"But they can use cannons - it's even possible that if we resist, the West China Sea will directly evolve into a second Kinmen."

"Do you think we have the ability to fight an artillery battle with them for twenty years?"

Under this comment, Vietnamese netizens posted a series of "crying" emoticons.

Everyone is aware of the seriousness of the problem, but no one has a solution.

In fact, even from a national perspective and a macro perspective, they have no way to solve it.

"Can we drag the US into trouble again?"

"Are you kidding? Since the last Treasure Island incident, we have lost their trust. If we want to get them back again, we will either have to pay a huge price or involve their core interests."

"But it is obvious that the other party's core interests are no longer in this sea."

"They have already started their game in Africa. Coupled with the situation in the Middle East, it is almost impossible to have any extra energy to allocate to us."

"So, China is the real master of strategy. The Americans thought they were using Africa to contain China, but they didn't expect that China was using Africa to contain them!"

"What they ultimately want is sea power!"

All netizens who read this message took a deep breath.

Such a layout, such a far-reaching vision

At this moment, they even recalled that period of history that had been distorted by domestic officials.

Yes, for a long time, Vietnam was just a vassal state of that behemoth.

Their wisdom and strength may have declined, but they have never really been lost.

Once you seize the opportunity, you will quickly stand up and regain your position as "master"

And now is the critical period for them to return to their dominant position.

On the other side of the sea, the turret.

Bob sighed deeply. The cigar on his fingertips had already burned out long ash, but he never brought it to his mouth.

He has seen the latest report on the West China Sea, and also knows that Vietnam has suffered a big loss from China's new weapons, but for him now, there is no way to intervene.

This is the first time since the founding of the United States that he has felt that he is "short of troops."

The Middle East wants people, Africa wants people, Guam wants people, and even Alaska wants people!

Yes, even Mao Xiong is cooperating with China and stepping up pressure on the north.

In just over half a month, the situation on the four islands suddenly became tense, and the island countries were obviously unable to cope with it, which also affected their own military preparedness.

War clouds rolling in?

This description is not appropriate, because Bob knows clearly that war is absolutely impossible.

This is just a provocation.
