Chapter 1329: Conquering the enemy without fighting, new technology debuts
"Chen Jun, if you have any ideas, please share them. We will fully cooperate with you." Elder Ye's eyes were filled with trust and expectation as he looked at Chen Jun, the beloved general he had personally nurtured. He had witnessed Chen Jun's growth, and compared to General Long, Elder Ye felt that he was more like Chen Jun's mentor in his military career.
At this moment, Chen Jun stood tall and straight, his expression firm as he spoke, "Commander, we in Yan Country have an old saying, 'Conquer the enemy without fighting.' This time, facing the United States, we don't necessarily have to confront them head-on. Based on the existing principles, we might as well adopt some deterrent measures to intimidate them and make them give up provocation on their own initiative."
As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room erupted in an uproar. The United States had always been extremely domineering, running rampant internationally. How could it possibly surrender so easily? This was simply a fantasy.
However, Elder Ye nodded slightly, looking at Chen Jun with a smile, motioning him to continue. In Elder Ye's impression, Chen Jun was by no means a rash person. On the contrary, while he shared a hawkish style, his approach was more measured, and every decision was carefully considered.
"Chen Jun, your idea is very novel. However, their aircraft carrier battle group has already arrived at our doorstep. How can we make them retreat? Time is running out. Just tell me your specific plan." Old Ye urged with a burning gaze.
Chen Jun immediately responded, "They're sending an aircraft carrier this time simply to test our war potential and our response. After all, the United States never does business at a loss, and war is a game of profit for them. So, why not take the initiative and reveal the capabilities of our new fighter jets? No more hiding it, just hold a press conference and show the world our Fortress system."
"Once the detailed data of the new fighter jet is released, the Americans will inevitably reassess the situation. They will understand why they were previously defeated by us, and they will also realize that this is an advanced fighter jet that they cannot currently compete with. At that time, after weighing the pros and cons, they will most likely abandon the idea of war and find a way out. This is my assessment of their behavior."
After Chen Jun finished speaking, a bright light flashed in everyone's eyes.
This principle was not surprising, but they were not the chief designers of the new fighter, so they were not sure how advanced the new fighter's data was. Since the Chen army was so confident, then by leveraging this wise strategy that runs throughout Yan's history, perhaps they could truly achieve the goal of defeating the enemy without fighting. After all, sinking an aircraft carrier has already made the United States wary. If they can build on this and use their powerful strength to deter the enemy and avoid the outbreak of war, the best outcome would undoubtedly be.
War always carries immense danger and destruction, and no one is willing to start a war unless it's absolutely necessary. The United States, with its profound resources and immense strength, certainly possesses the potential to overthrow many nations, but this doesn't mean the Yan Nation lacks the confidence to contend with it. If the situation gets out of control and forbidden weapons are deployed, the outcome is likely to be mutual destruction. Chen Jun's proposal undoubtedly demonstrates to the United States that we are at the forefront of technology, and that they will not be able to gain an advantage in any other conventional warfare mode except for the mutually destructive tactic of mutual destruction.
Elder Ye said decisively, "This move is a bit like what the Russians always say, constantly threatening the West by considering the use of forbidden weapons. It's just that they keep saying it too much, which makes the Westerners think they are bluffing and constantly testing their bottom line. We are different. We just bombed the United States twice, and the whole world is wondering if we have developed a new type of fighter jet. Chen Jun's idea is good. We can directly demonstrate our strong strength and make them retreat. This is also in line with our consistent concept of striving for peace and avoiding war."
As he spoke, Mr. Ye glanced at everyone and asked, "Who is in favor, and who is against?"
A silence fell on the scene. Deep down, everyone agreed with Chen Jun's suggestion. It was indeed the best option after weighing the pros and cons. Advanced weapons sometimes don't need to be deployed in combat; their invisible deterrent power often exerts a greater impact. Just look at the situation in the Russian Bear Country over the years.
Since Mr. Ye, the core figure of the hawkish faction, agreed, everyone naturally had no objection and raised their hands to show their agreement.
"Okay, then let's do as Chen Jun suggested. Immediately send out invitations to journalists stationed in Yan Country around the world, hold an emergency meeting, and announce the news of our new fighter jets." Old Ye made the final decision.
Just like that, the military meeting group originally formed to counter the threat from the United States was suddenly disbanded. Everyone had been expecting Chen Jun to take off in his fighter jets and engage the United States' aircraft carrier battle group head-on, while they remained at headquarters to command the overall situation. But now... only a small number of people remained to oversee basic headquarters affairs, while the majority were focused on preparing for the press conference.
An hour later, many reporters stationed in Yan Country swarmed into a certain conference site. They had received news that Yan Country would be showcasing a brand new scientific research achievement to the world, and it involved the military field.
This news excited the reporters stationed in Yan Country like they had won the lottery. You know, Yan Country has always kept a low profile on military matters over the years, rarely announcing major military achievements outside of routine displays at air shows. For them to proactively invite them to a meeting and release relevant information like today was a complete first!
Reporters rushed to the scene, their curiosity piqued. Many even started live broadcasts around the world, eager to share this momentous news. Upon arriving, they were stunned by the scene before them. There was a moment of silence, then a frenzied exclamation of surprise.
"Oh my god, what kind of fighter plane is this? It's so huge and so majestic. It's simply shocking! Could this be the new secret weapon developed by Yan Country?"
"It looks so sci-fi, exuding a sense of technology. Its combat power must be amazing!"
The crowd was in awe. Before them lay a massive, sci-fi-inspired fighter jet. Its surface radiated a cool metallic sheen, and it sat quietly, like an impenetrable fortress. Beside the aircraft stood a team of experts assigned by Chen Jun, who began to explain the new fighter's features and specifications to the reporters present.
Of course, to achieve a greater deterrent effect, appropriate exaggeration is essential. Soon, the reporters on the scene erupted in exclamations of amazement, their shock evident in words. They had never seen such a powerful, such awe-inspiring fighter jet in their lives. Some even expressed their utter shock, some unable to withstand the immense impact.
As if to further confirm everyone's shock, a sudden roar echoed from the sky. Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a large black shadow flash across the sky like lightning, so fast that no one could even see clearly what it was.
"What is this?" Everyone's faces were filled with horror.
Before they could recover, the shadow darted past them once more, ghostlike and impassive, leaving no trace in the air. Just as the poem, "No trace of the bird remains in the sky, yet I have flown past," captured their imagination. After repeating this more than ten times, the enormous shadow finally slowed down, allowing everyone to see its true form.
It turned out to be another Flying Fortress fighter. Under the gazes of the crowd filled with shock and admiration, it slowly landed on the runway. The scene was like a king returning from the King's Glory, displaying his dominance.
The expert group explained at the right time: "Dear journalists, this is another fighter jet used for testing, and its performance is almost identical to the fighter jet parked here. In fact, our Yan Country already has dozens of fighter jets like this (actually there are only 2!). Let me give you a detailed introduction. Our Yan Country's new fighter jet has achieved a technological lead over the world. Not only is it extremely fast, but more importantly, our ace pilots can easily fly it freely in the sky at speeds exceeding Mach 4. As we all know, the physical and physiological functions of ace pilots from other countries have reached the limit when they are under the pressure of flying at speeds exceeding Mach 1, but our pilots do not have such limits..."
"I can proudly tell you that this Flying Fortress fighter jet is over four times faster than the United States' B-series fighter jets, and can carry over ten times the ammunition of the United States' F-series fighter jets. Its range exceeds 4 kilometers. From anywhere in the world, we can reach a designated location in record time and launch a precision strike on the target..."
……
The news of the world press conference held by Yan Country soon reached the command site in the White Building of the Beautiful Country.
President Huangmao and his senior officials and assistants were all stunned when they saw the huge and high-tech new fighter plane of Yan State on the screen. They were speechless for a long time, as if they were under a spell.
Beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their expressions were as nervous as ants on a hot pan. The arrogance and domineering attitude of the past had long disappeared without a trace, and now they looked like deflated balls.
"Everyone, is Yan Guo lying?" The yellow-haired president was the first to break the silence, with a hint of luck and uneasiness in his voice.
"In this world, apart from our noble and beautiful country, who else can possess such advanced fighter jets?" An assistant said subconsciously, but his tone lacked the confidence of the past.
"Calm down, sir. We don't even have such fighter jets ourselves, and I'm afraid we're not lying. Don't forget, when the bases in Japan and the aircraft carriers were bombed, the radars were completely unaware. Maybe... it was this new fighter jet from Yan Country that did it." Another senior official analyzed worriedly.
"Their pilots can fly fighter jets at speeds of up to Mach 4. How do they do that? If this is true, the radar would have no time to react and the fighter jet would have flown past in an instant." Someone looked puzzled and couldn't help but simulate the sound of a fighter jet flying. This action made the atmosphere on the scene even more tense and depressing.
The yellow-haired president's face was filled with dissatisfaction and anxiety. He pressed on, "If this is true, and they still have dozens of these fighter jets? Doesn't that mean that no matter who they want to attack in the world, the enemy won't be able to react at all? In other words, our missiles won't be able to intercept them?"
"It's not just a matter of interception. The most terrifying thing is that the enemy is likely to use this speed advantage to pull back the missiles we launch and bomb us in return." A military expert sighed solemnly.
Everyone fell silent again, then began to whisper among themselves, their voices extremely low, completely devoid of the arrogant shouting they had earlier. Especially the yellow-haired president, who now slumped in his seat, looked like an ordinary, helpless old man, his former dignity gone.
If what Yan Guo said was true and not bluffing, then what could America do to resist? Would they really resort to using forbidden weapons? But if such weapons were used, the consequences would be disastrous, and I'm afraid he, as president, would have to step down first.
Finally, a staff member sighed helplessly and said, "Sir, give the order. Before we find out the true situation of Yan Nation's new fighter jets, withdraw the aircraft carrier first."
"But in this case, our fighter planes and reconnaissance planes will still be in the hands of Yan Country. Isn't this a losing business? And if we retreat, the whole world will know that we are afraid of the Orientals. This is related to national dignity..." Someone raised an objection.
However, he was immediately interrupted by another person: "Knowing that the enemy possesses such advanced weapons that our radars cannot detect them, yet you still insist on confronting them head-on? This is truly a losing proposition. Do you want to see all the aircraft carriers we send destroyed?"
Upon hearing this, the yellow-haired president seemed to lose all his strength instantly, collapsing in his seat. Indeed, fighting a losing battle when you can't win is undoubtedly a losing proposition. Compared to so-called dignity and imperial honor, for this businessman, making money and profitability are the most important things.
"Forget it, let's just treat it as a misunderstanding. Just say that our aircraft carrier went out for patrol and digestion, and now we can return. Humph, they are heroes, they can patrol wherever they want." The yellow-haired president said weakly, his tone full of helplessness and unwillingness.
……
"They gave in and retreated directly..."
Inside the military headquarters, a communications officer stood up and excitedly announced the news.
This news spread to the ears of every senior executive present. Some people were still unable to react for a while, but Elder Ye suddenly stood up and asked: "Is it those people from the United States? Retreat directly?"
"Yes, you see..."
When the screen is zoomed in, you can see that the aircraft carrier group represented by the red dots is retreating. It won't be long before they have distanced themselves from each other. It can be seen that the other side's retreat speed is extremely fast, as if they are running for their lives.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Ye slapped his thigh and punched the senior executives in the conference room.
"Sure enough, just as Chen Jun said, this is a way to defeat the enemy without fighting."
