Chapter VIII
In this national war, when Pakistan and the Korean Peninsula were in full swing, Duke was not idle either, and nothing else was fine, and he could not expect it to be achieved for a while. However, the huge project of the Gemini Island, from Vice Chairman Liu to General Yang and other military leaders, all had high hopes to "destroy" the Tomahawk cruise missiles, giving these military leaders huge room for imagination.
"What the chiefs mean, see if you can use some designs to softly destroy the US military satellites over the Western Pacific." Qin Tairan was ordered to fully assist Duke in militarizing the Gemini Island project. Although Qin Tairan himself felt that this requirement was a bit too much, the state affairs are now difficult. As soon as several major battlefields open, facing the strategic situation of the US military blooming in full swing, the weakness of the PLA's lack of strength in the sea and air is completely exposed.
In this case, in addition to relying mainly on the local area for deployment, the PLA strategy is to do its best to block the threat from the US military from the two wings of South Asia and Northeast Asia. However, from now on, although the South Asian theater repelled an attack on the ground of the US military and caused heavy losses to the US 10th Mountain Division, it did not destroy the US military. Not only did the US military's main force, the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division, but the US military headquarters also had the main forces such as the 82nd Airborne Division and the 1st Marine Division. When the next time the US military makes a comeback, the Pakistani army will be even more difficult to resist.
Even in the face of the attack of two US divisions, in order to repel them, not only did the Pakistani army do its best, but the two elite armored forces were fully released, and the People's Liberation Army's ability to use in the northwest direction was also exhausted, and even had to ask for help from the Persians in dire straits to repel the US attack.
After two air wars, the remaining air force forces of China-Pakistan and Persia in the South Asian theater were still much lower than those of the US and Indian Air Force in terms of quantity and strength. Now it can only be said that it can barely maintain a fragile balance in the air and is unable to break and gain air superiority.
Although the PLA has not yet had a direct confrontation with the US military on the Korean Peninsula, the PLA is still at a disadvantage in terms of air power comparison.
Therefore, the military commanders especially hope that some extraordinary strike forces can weaken some advantages of the US military. Paralysis or interfere with the US military's communication capabilities is naturally a relatively effective way. Duke can destroy US cruise missiles, which may be equally effective for US military satellites in the eyes of the military commanders.
It is not that the PLA has no other means to destroy the US satellites in space. It has tested satellites with missiles many times more than ten years ago. For low-orbit satellites, it is not very technically difficult, but no country has done this blatantly, because the only country with this ability is not the only one, so the PLA cannot dare to be the first in this regard, otherwise it will inevitably face huge political pressure from the entire world.
This is just like using nuclear weapons. Without any unavoidable force, today's major powers with nuclear weapons dare not take the lead in using it, and no one can bear the devastating result of taking the lead in using it.
But if we can kill the opponent's satellite without realizing it, the US military can't catch the handle at all, that's another story. Using electromagnetic weapons to go without a trace is an ultimate force that hurts people invisibly.
"Low-orbit satellites may be possible. For synchronous communication satellites, it is still difficult to rely on their current technical capabilities." After hearing Qin Tairan's needs, Duke thought about it and shook his head and said, "At more than 100 kilometers away from the earth, Gemini Island beam energy electromagnetic emitters are used to irradiate satellites with electromagnetic waves of maximum power intensity. Even if the satellites undergo special treatment, it is not a big problem to destroy some of the electromagnetic components among these satellites that are more sensitive to electromagnetics.
However, for synchronous communication satellites 36,000 kilometers away, the soft killing ability of these electromagnetic waves has been greatly weakened after attenuation through the atmosphere, which is no longer enough to burn down the electronic components in these synchronous satellites.
"It's okay to be able to destroy low-orbit satellites. Nowadays, most of the low-orbit satellites of the US military are mainly used for military reconnaissance, and a small number are used for communications. If the US military's low-orbit satellites over the Western Pacific can blind them and make them blind, it will also be a great advantage for us." Qin Tairan was overjoyed when he heard about the door, but he was not picky.
However, if the US military reconnaissance satellites flying over our country are really destroyed and the US military becomes blind, it will naturally have great benefits for the PLA. In addition, Duke's technology to search for US stealth unmanned reconnaissance aircraft developed by the PLA can ensure that its local military deployment will no longer be intercepted by the US military.
Duke smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. After the construction of the Gemini Island project was completed, it was not too late to do anything about Lyme before a deliberate attack triggered a huge war. It was really not a lucky place to say that.
"I need a team to cooperate with a satellite. It is best to have some actual data on the components of the US satellite product. Of course, the most important thing is to have accurate target operational orbit parameters." To do this research, Duke himself has not accumulated much, and of course he needs a lot of data to study. This is not like a missile, no matter what you are bombarded with just one shot.
Since it is going to be done, Duke wants to do it better. It is best to just damage the most vulnerable and critical electronic components of these US military satellites, which make it just fail. If it looks like the satellite has failed on its own, it would be best.
The senior leaders of the PLA thought of Gemini Island, and the US Pacific Command also thought of this strange place. Based on the information transferred by the CIA, and the PLA has continuously strengthened its air defense forces in recent times, they judged the importance of Gemini Island. Judging from the huge power nuclear power plant on the island, it is very likely that a new electromagnetic weapon of the PLA is hidden on the island.
Although the US military has no intelligence to prove the existence of this electromagnetic weapon, and it is less clear about its main purpose, the more mysterious it is, the more important it is to intelligence analysts of the US Pacific Command. Therefore, among the combat targets of the Pacific Command, Twin Island was set as the first priority target.
However, in terms of how to control this war in conventional operations, the US military command racked its brains. Twin Island is a civilian target marked by China. There is no doubt that a large number of Chinese scientists are also engaged in scientific research on space exploration on the island. If the US military wants to attack this island, there will definitely cause serious consequences if there is no political excuse for it to be said.
Because the People's Liberation Army has stated that they will retaliate against any attacks launched against China, after the US military first attack on Twin Island, the People's Liberation Army did not hesitate to use its nuclear submarine to launch a retaliatory attack, causing great shock to the US military.
Now after such a long period of pursuit, the US Atlantic Fleet has not yet forced out the traces of the PLA nuclear submarines, which shows that the PLA's nuclear submarines have made great progress in technology and are enough to secretly approach the US mainland. If these nuclear submarines carry nuclear weapons, the US side will not be able to bear the huge losses caused by nuclear weapons attacks.
In South Asia and Northeast Asia, both fight in a conventional war that both sides can tolerate. Even if the entire peninsula of North Korea is lost, as long as the US military does not force the PLA into a desperate situation, I believe that the PLA will maintain a restrained situation in the use of nuclear weapons. However, once you want to completely wipe out the main force of the PLA Navy and Air Force and launch an attack on important domestic civil facilities in China, the US military's actions may touch the bottom line of the PLA's use of nuclear weapons.
Therefore, in the U.S. military's high-level plan, it is crucial to understand the PLA's nuclear strike capabilities. Land-based intercontinental missiles can be ignored. With NMD's protection, the U.S. military is not very worried about the PLA's current backward land-based intercontinental missiles. The early warning network that completely encircles China can allow the U.S. military to deal with land-based intercontinental missile attacks for a long time and with various means.
What worries the US military the most is the PLA's nuclear submarine. The senior U.S. military's top leaders know that as long as the huge threat from the seabed cannot be solved in one day, the US military's comprehensive offensive plan will not dare to submit to the implementation of the plan.
Therefore, in the combat plan of the US Pacific Command, what is really implemented at this stage is the Korean Peninsula war. The main goal is to solve the Korean Peninsula issue and at the same time expel the PLA to the west of the Yalu River. On this basis, the US military will carry out a new round of first island chain blockade on the PLA, force out the PLA's nuclear submarines and solve them. Only after they consider launching a large-scale attack on the PLA's navy and air force, and completely destroy the PLA's navy and air force forces on the southeast coast.
This is the ultimate goal of the US military's operations, but before we really need to take this step, the US military still has a lot to do.
When 50,000 US troops temporarily returned in the Atak region of Pakistan, the 100,000 US troops and 200,000 South Korean troops on the Korean Peninsula continued to advance rapidly, breaking through the sluggish tactical entanglement of the People's Army. The main force began to advance within 20 kilometers south of the Pingcheng-Wonsan line. The vanguard reconnaissance forces of the South Korean and American armies had even begun to catch fire with the People's Liberation Army.
The 39th Army and the 54th Army of the People's Liberation Army, under the command of the Korean War Theater and General Li Hu, commander of the Northeast Army of the People's Liberation Army, were preparing to launch a huge counterattack campaign to curb the current unfavorable situation of the People's Army's defeat. On the Eastern Front battlefield, the People's Liberation Army was preparing to use the 3rd Armored Division as the fist to attack the 4th Korean Army's elite Korean Marine Division in front of them; on the Western Front battlefield, the 162nd Division as the fist and the 115th Division as the auxiliary as the assault on the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division in front of them.
In this way, 70 years after the First Korean War in the 1950s, the two world's most powerful military powers will once again compete desperately on the same battlefield!
