Chapter 747 Under the Maritime Confrontation
In the captain's room of the 'Cui Ying' missile destroyer, three people were sitting around a table, and there was a cup of hot coffee in front of each of them. The atmosphere seemed very harmonious.
The captain's room can be said to be one of the most confidential places of the ship, and at this moment, in addition to the captain of the missile destroyer and the commander of the special forces, there is also a foreigner here.
"Mr. James, thank you very much for the information you provided. I think this time, the Republic of Korea will completely rescue the hostages from the fierce pirates. With the assistance of the powerful special forces of the Republic of Korea and American allies, these pirates can only tremble at the gunpoint of justice and be tried in the end. "!" Zheng Zaihao, the captain of the destroyer, raised his eyebrows and looked extremely excited. Fangfo had seen that he commanded the South Korean special forces to successfully rescue the hostages, became a South Korean hero, and was famous all over the world. For this reason, he may add a star to his shoulder.
Although in Jung Jae-ho's mind, the role of the Americans in the upcoming 'classic anti-terrorism hostage rescue operation' is disappointing, in the face of the Americans, there is still a sense of humility in the bones of the 'Koreanist' and has to give some credit to the Americans.
Zheng Zaihao is crazy. This operation of the South Korean special forces has been captured. Let James? Li secretly despised it in his heart. No one knows better than him that the difference between today's Somalia and the past is not the usual way in dealing with all the affairs of Somalia. Otherwise, it must be themselves who will suffer losses, and so are Somali pirates.
Although the CIA's intelligence work in Somalia is not very smooth, it is one of the largest intelligence agencies in the world, and its strength should not be underestimated. James naturally has a lot of information about the 'Aden Bay Hunter' in his hand. According to his analysis, this new group of well-trained pirates are likely to be supported by the Somali military behind them, and even have something to do with the Chinese commander.
With the habit of being a tough Chinese commander who never loses, he will never watch the supporting 'Aden Bay Hunter' be eliminated by the Koreans. There will definitely be relevant actions.
And the positioning of the Americans in this incident is to be a bystander and participant. The purpose of participation is to give the Koreans confidence and provide some intelligence, so that these arrogant Koreans are more confident and more arrogant and strict. Only in this way can the Chinese commander's anger be raised. Both sides It is possible to have more diplomatic conflicts or even armed conflicts. After detonating the contradictions between the two sides, the Americans can watch. In the Gulf of Aden, the strength of South Koreans is obviously not as strong as that of Somalia, and South Korea does not have the strength to launch long-range large-scale military forces. If it wants to gain an advantage in the conflict with Somalia, it must rely on the help of the Americans. In this way, the United States does not have to do it in person. If you do it, you can get benefits, and you can also take the opportunity to weaken Somalia.
The real purpose of Americans is to create rivals for Somalia and suppress the development of Somalia. When Somalia has more and more enemies internationally, the development space will become smaller and smaller, and eventually be isolated. At that time, the United States did not even need to do it herself. Somalia could only sink in addition to 'surrender' and finally fall apart under foreign and internal pressure.
This plan is not trivial. The United States will not show its attitude in some easily discovered affairs and provoke the relationship between Somalia and other countries, but achieve its goal through some seemingly insignificant and unrelated things.
However, in this kind of plan, we must consider a problem, that is, to cultivate to check and balance Somalia's opponents. The strength should not be too weak. It is useless at all if it is too weak. The Americans have suffered this dumb loss before. Kenya was part of the American plan, but soon under the strong blow of the Chinese commander, it was timid and bowed down. For the second time, the American planned to let the African lion touch Somalia, but the African lion now has a shrewd political axe. When he felt something wrong, he immediately shrank back and was never fooled again.
Two failures made Americans more and more careful when implementing this plan. This time, they chose another target, that is, South Korea.
After learning the lessons of the first two times, Americans are very cautious in choosing objects. First of all, this 'chess' must have self-protection capital. Secondly, there must be exploitable loopholes. Finally, this piece does not have the ability to be anti-guest.
Such a requirement, first of all, excludes most European countries, because European countries, except for those big foreign countries, do not have a high influence of the United States. These countries have a history earlier than the United States, and their degree of freedom is not inferior. In addition, Europe has always been the traditional center of the world, and they want to provoke these countries to fight with others. It's not easy to fight. Countries with potential in other regions can't do it, because in this struggle with Somalia, Americans must provide some 'assistance'. Potential countries are likely to take the opportunity to develop and get out of control, thus endangering the United States itself.
Originally, the Americans planned to choose the Japanese one, because it can be seen from some intelligence that the Chinese commander is not friendly to me, but I can be said to be the most fierce and obedient hound in the hands of the Americans, and the economic strength, science and technology and military strength are too strong. The United States has scruples in using it, because The purpose of the United States to support Japan is to contain China. If Japan strengthens its strength and influence in the Middle East, it is very easy for this hound to become a more cunning and fierce hungry wolf. Most importantly, I am famous for my fraud, and it is hard for Americans to guarantee that I will find the real purpose of this plan.
So, a country that is often born crazy appears in the eyes of Americans. South Korea is a very special country, just like my own insidious and cunning, arrogant and ignorant is the unique surname of most Koreans. They always think that they are superior, but they don't have the corresponding strength to support them. Koreans who are good at fantasy are always happy to live in white dreams. They are disdainful of other ethnic groups. They are the smartest and noblest people in the world. With the development of the country's economy and scientific research, some small achievements make them more and more invincible. They want to fight for everything. Whether they have the ability or not, whether it is in line with reality or not is not in their simple thinking. As long as it is good, they are willing to occupy what they have.
It is because this nation has been living humbly for hundreds of thousands of years. The kind of slave name that has been deeply rooted in the bones. After the beating whip on the top of the head paused for a while, it immediately felt that they were blessed by God, and the powerful enemies were scared by them. If there was some malicious strength. With the support of the great forces, it is difficult to describe the change of attitude. Just like those who bullied the weak and afraid of the toughness around the ancient playboys.
The Americans have made good use of this loophole, so that the special surname of this strange nation, which is humble but tries hard to show the 'tighty and noble' side, find an opportunity to use the fantasy and false pursuit of this slave nation for 'powerful' as bait.
Somalia and North Korea are very close, which makes the arrogant South Koreans deeply dissatisfied. Especially last year, after North Korea obtained an advanced tank, the South Koreans were completely boiling. They shouted, "Long live the Han nation... Unify the world. Er, the slogan of unifying the Korean Peninsula is protesting outside the embassies of several countries in Somalia. There was a lot of diplomatic turmoil at that time.
This time, it is a major event highly expected by South Korea to show the strength of South Korea through the opportunity to fight Somali pirates and take the opportunity to deter Somalia by force.
Although it is still in secret at this time, it is not a secret for the military and the senior officials of the political axe. It is said that some people have begun to celebrate the victory of the Republic of Korea at home.
The moment James lowered his head and drank coffee, the disdainful eyes flashed away, and then he raised his head with an agreed smile and said, "Captain Zheng is right. The strength of Captain Cui and the members of the special forces have always been well-known to the world, and the pirates are like a group of clowns in front of the special forces. They can be easily crushed. If this cancer that endangers world free trade is eliminated, I believe that the South Korean navy and special forces will become heroes in the minds of the people of the world, which is very beneficial for the South Korean navy and special forces to go to the world.
Sure enough, after hearing James's words, Zheng Zaihao's eyes were shining. He has always hoped that South Korea can become a world-renowned power, and the Korean team will become one of the most powerful armies in the world. As a member of the navy, Jung Jae-ho's greatest expectation is that South Korea's Han Jun will become a real blue sea navy, instead of basically shrinking on the Korean Peninsula as it is now, surrounded by Russia, China, Japan and the U.S. Navy. It is the ability of the navy of the Republic of Korea to get out of the 'encirclement' and inspect the world's oceans, and the Korean navy must also have this qualification.
This Somali escort is a good opportunity for them who are "the Republic of Korea", and it is a useful opportunity to show the strength of the South Korean navy to the world.
James's words undoubtedly made Jung Jae-ho hear a hint that the Americans want the South Korean navy to be strong, go to the world, and become a solid ally of the United States.
rubbing his hands excitedly, Captain Zheng suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "Mr. James, the Somali political axe will not intervene in the fight against pirates this time, will it?" Although he feels that he has a chance to win and feels that the outcome can be predicted with the support of the Americans, he is not an idiot. It is incumbent on him to fight against pirates. If there is a conflict with the Somali political axe or even the army, it will not be good.
He doesn't care about the Somali navy. Only a few missile boats are not as good as he sits on the KDX-2-class missile destroyer with a displacement of 5,500 tons. But it is too close to the Somali mainland. Somalia has an air force, and more than 20 Su-27 fighters can completely threaten this destroyer. Although the domestic order is not to worry about the reaction of the Somali political axe, as long as it does not cross the Somali territorial waters. But he still asked James cautiously, because the other party was from the CIA and must have a deeper understanding of Somalia.
"Captain Zheng is assured that the Somali political axe will never embarrass you in this matter. Moreover, fighting pirates is the responsibility and obligation of every peaceful country and a legitimate act authorized by the United Nations Security Council. You don't need to have any scruples!" James said with a smile.
