Chapter 624: The Galaxy Incident

Precision-guided weapons are very expensive. Even the wealthy United States cannot equip them in large quantities. Moreover, various weapons have restrictions on their use. For example, TV guidance devices can only be used in good weather, infrared guidance requires a heat source, and the most accurate laser guidance cannot penetrate the thick smoke on the battlefield.

With the continuous advancement of technology, the United States has successfully networked the global positioning system. By using the receiving terminal of the global positioning system and improving it, it can be used to provide the most accurate signal to bombs. You must know that the accuracy of civilian use is within ten meters, and the military use is as high as decimeter level, or even centimeter level, which is absolutely very accurate to use. Using this to modify ordinary free-fall bombs can also greatly reduce costs.

Even the United States began to study the "precision-guided munitions for bad weather" plan after the Gulf War. The purpose is to develop a fourth-generation guided bomb with day/night, all-weather, out-of-area, launch-and-forget, and multi-target attack capabilities in response to the various shortcomings of the third-generation laser-guided bombs exposed in the Gulf War. The satellite positioning/inertial navigation guided bomb of the "Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM)" is the first fourth-generation guided bomb to be successfully developed. It was first used in the NATO air strikes on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999.

And now, the United States has not yet started to develop a plan to equip ordinary bombs with GPS. This is the first in the world.

"Okay, this project is very important and can continue to be studied." Muhammad immediately made a decision.

Muhammad certainly knows that GPS belongs to Americans. At a critical moment, Americans may shut down the GPS signal over a certain area, making this precision-guided weapon ineffective. However, it seems that this weapon is still very important. Now that Pakistan is unable to build a global positioning system on its own, using American signals is also a helpless choice.

While listening to the report of the relevant responsible person at the Babel High-tech Center, Muhammad suddenly saw his assistant hurriedly walked in and said to Muhammad: "Mr. President, a diplomatic incident just happened. The US Navy hijacked the Chinese Galaxy in the Indian Ocean!"

Galaxy! Muhammad was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked: "Did the Americans accuse China of transporting chemical weapons?"

"Yes." The assistant answered Muhammad with surprise in his eyes. The president is a very capable person, who seems to be able to predict the future and speculate various events based on clues.

Galaxy! Muhammad certainly knew about this incident. In history, it happened in 1993. On July 7 of that year. The "Galaxy" departed from Tianjin New Port, passing through Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Jakarta, and finally carried a total of 628 containers. Headed for the Middle East. It is expected to arrive at the Dubai Port in the Persian Gulf on August 3 to unload, and then go to the Saudi Arabian Port of Dammam and the Kuwait Port. However, on July 23, the United States claimed to have solid evidence and accused the "Galaxy" freighter of carrying thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride that can make chemical weapons to the Iranian port of Abbas. Foreshadowing, the Americans sent warships and aircraft to track and monitor the Galaxy and asked the Galaxy to return. In the international waters of the Indian Ocean, the Americans, the world's pirates, hijacked and detained the Galaxy for three weeks. Afterwards, with the mediation of Saudi Arabia, joint investigators from Saudi Arabia and the United States inspected the Galaxy, which was docked at the Jukle Naval Base near the port of Dammam. The 628th and last cargo box on the "Galaxy" freighter was inspected, and no chemical weapons were found. The three parties signed an inspection report.

This is a serious incident and a bad manifestation of the hegemonic behavior of the United States. The Americans seem to be the world police. The malicious detention of the Chinese freighter delayed the voyage for more than a month, and threatened the personnel on the freighter. After the inspection, no thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride were found. The Americans did not even apologize, but announced the results of the investigation. Then it was left unresolved.

And now, this incident has happened ahead of schedule. Thinking that the US election has reached the final stage, Bush Sr. made such a move, naturally to build momentum for his own election!

Showing the strength of the United States, showing Bush's diplomatic skills, diverting domestic economic contradictions, and creating opportunities for re-election, Bush is really not a good guy!

Muhammad, who got the news, returned to the presidential palace from the Babel High-tech Center and saw the Chinese ambassador waiting for him.

"Mr. President, our Galaxy cargo ship was maliciously seized by the United States." Ambassador Fan said to Muhammad.

"Yes, I just learned about this news." Muhammad replied: "It is really abominable that the Americans are carrying out such pirate-like behavior in the high seas."

"Our ships are loaded with ordinary goods, and there are definitely no raw materials mentioned by the Americans, but now, the Americans are aggressive and we are very passive." Ambassador Fan said.

Of course there will be no such things, even if there are, how can the Americans know! The American intelligence agency, although it sounds very powerful and can spy on military intelligence around the world, is actually very backward in its investigation of socialist countries.

"I know this, I believe our Chinese friends are good friends who abide by basic international law." Muhammad said.

"Now, we need to solve this problem as soon as possible." Ambassador Fan said: "Our country has decided to send Mr. Sha, Deputy Director of the International Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as our government representative to deal with this matter. Now, we still need a third party. If If the United States mandates unloading inspection, it needs to be inspected by a third party we trust.”

China has made preparations. According to the urine of Americans and the current situation in China, if the Americans insist on going their own way and forcefully require inspections, China will have to agree. At that time, in order to prevent Americans from frame-up, China must put trust in the first place. Three countries conduct inspections.

Historically, Saudi Arabia has undertaken this task, but now, China obviously hopes that Pakistan can reach out and conduct inspections in Pakistan.

"There is no problem at all. As long as you need us, Pakistan can act as a middleman at any time." Mhamad said: "The Indian Ocean is not a place where Americans can show off their power!"

If it were in other sea areas, such as near Malacca, Hamad would be beyond his reach. But now, in the Indian Ocean, the American navy actually dares to act as pirates! You simply don’t take the Pakistan Navy seriously!

There are some wind and waves in the Indian Ocean, and waves more than two meters high are splashing. In the waves, the freighter Galaxy is constantly rocking.

This is a container freighter with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons. The bridge is at the rear. The large area in front is occupied by neatly stacked containers. At this time, in the cockpit at the back, the captain Zhang Rude said: "Brother Hey, it looks like we have to hold on for a while, so we need to save some of this food. "

At this time, it was sweltering heat. In the tropical Indian Ocean, the temperature exceeded fifty degrees. The entire Galaxy seemed to be a big oven. Originally, the cabin was air-conditioned, but now the air-conditioning has been turned off. It was extremely hot, and everyone had a layer of smelly sweat on their bodies.

The Galaxy has been in the Middle East and China, and it seems that every time it carries fresh water, food, and fuel according to the needs of normal voyages, now, the Americans have begun to hijack this cargo ship. Although they have not boarded it, they have arrived to receive supplies. I don’t know when, but at this time, I have to save all kinds of resources.

"Damn Americans!" A crew member looked outside and saw the American CG-61 "Monterey" guided missile cruiser passing by the side of the ship.

This is a U.S.-made Ticonderoga-class cruiser with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons. This cruiser is the iconic missile cruiser of the U.S. Navy. It is equipped with an MK41 launcher that can launch various missiles, as well as advanced naval guns and Weapons such as torpedoes, especially the "Aegis" multifunctional phased array radar system near the bridge, are the U.S. Navy's Aegis cruisers.

This cruiser is a destroyer that the United States started construction in 1987 and entered service in 1990. It is only two years old. The entire ship is tall, majestic and menacing.

This warship passed by, and another one, No. 975, came to the starboard side. A few minutes later, the third warship, No. 996, also passed by. These three warships sandwiched the Galaxy in the middle to prevent the Galaxy from escaping.

"Boom, boom, boom." The helicopters overhead were roaring. In order to put maximum psychological pressure on the Galaxy, the Americans not only dispatched warships, but also the ship's helicopters, hovering in the sky.

"You fucking Americans, if I haven't retired yet, I will definitely use my 37mm naval gun to blast you, you son of a bitch!" said another crew member. This crew member's name is Zhang Ming, who retired from the South China Sea Fleet. Wandering on the sea, so after retiring, he became a sailor.

"Do you think our motherland will come to save us?" a voice whispered.

In the past few days, the Americans have been showing off their power and threatening to hijack the cargo ship. They have been waiting, but until now, there has been no result.

"I can't say for sure. A few years ago, the Iran-Iraq War was a ship attack, and it lasted for so long, but our navy's warships didn't come to escort it. I heard that a cargo ship in Hong Kong was hit and ran aground, and it was finally sold. "A crew member said, and after finishing speaking, he sighed: "A weak country has no diplomacy."
