I build a red alert base in the Golden Triangle

Chapter 180

: ‘Fog of War’?

When Terrence first heard the news, he was stunned for a moment.

Although he had joked with Henry before that if the U-2 reconnaissance plane was shot down this time, it might trigger a war.

But in fact he didn’t have much hope for this.

Because there are only three countries in the world where U-2 has been shot down a total of seven times, five of which were in the Dragon Kingdom, and the other two were in the Cigar Kingdom and the Soviet Union.

However, it is said that Soviet spies lurked at the military base where the U-2 reconnaissance plane took off, and secretly adjusted the instruments to make the pilot flying the U-2 mistakenly believe that the altitude was more than 20,000 meters, when in fact it was only about 18,000 meters. , and then it was shot down by Soviet anti-aircraft missiles.

“Are you sure he was shot down by the Legion?” Terrence picked up the documents on the table and looked at them with a solemn expression.

Henry replied: “It has been basically determined that the area where the U-2 reconnaissance plane was shot down is still dozens of kilometers away from the border of the Dragon Kingdom. The Dragon Kingdom’s anti-aircraft missiles should not be able to hit it, and the Dragon Kingdom has no reason to do this. .”

As one of several military bases that have been deployed around the Dragon Kingdom for a long time, Henry and Terrence also often deal with the Dragon Kingdom’s army. The two sides will have confrontations in the Nanyang region, but the Dragon Kingdom is relatively restrained.

You can’t do such a 383 thing.

“Report to the Polygon Building immediately. This is a serious military incident!” Terrence suddenly became a little excited.

He has not been promoted for several years. He is now almost fifty years old and is still a brigadier general. If he cannot obtain military merit, he may only receive the honorary rank of major general when he retires.

But now an opportunity to start a war was presented to him.

Terrence no longer cared about telling his youngest daughter on the phone that he would go back to watch her cheerleading performance next month.

Henry said: “You need to look at the back of the document, the reconnaissance photos of the U-2 reconnaissance plane before it was shot down. There are some strange things.”

After hearing this, Terrence turned around and quickly saw those strange photos.

“What is this? Is the high-altitude reconnaissance camera broken? Or is the film tape not washed out?” This was Terrence’s first reaction when he saw these photos with black mosaics.

“When I first saw these things, I thought it was a broken high-altitude reconnaissance camera, but the eight high-altitude reconnaissance cameras of the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft all took such photos.” Henry explained: “And as the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft -2(abcf) reconnaissance plane’s movement, the black mosaic also changed somewhat, like…like…”

“It’s like a game character exploring a map,” Terrence said.

“Yes! That’s it!” Henry remembered this familiar feeling.

He said: “My useless son, when he was addicted to video games, some of the games he played had this kind of thing. He said it was the ‘fog of war’.”

Terrence lit a cigarette for himself. After looking at these reconnaissance photos, he felt a little creepy for some reason.

“Report all this to the Polygon. This is no small matter.” Terrence said in a deep voice.

Since five U-2 reconnaissance planes were shot down by the Dragon Kingdom, the Eagle Kingdom is no longer as unscrupulous as before, because both the Dragon Kingdom and the Soviet Union have anti-aircraft missiles that can threaten the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, and these missiles are also exported to Other junior countries in the Su camp, such as the Cigar Country back then.

With the end of the Cold War and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, no one could challenge the Eagle Kingdom’s dominance in the world, and the number of U-2 reconnaissance aircraft dispatches became less and less.

It has been more than fifty years since the last time a U-2 reconnaissance plane was shot down.

So when the Eagle State Polygon received news from the Subic Bay military base that the U-2 reconnaissance plane dispatched had been shot down, Undersecretary of Defense Carter was also a little skeptical.

It’s not that we doubt the authenticity of the U-2 being shot down, but that it was the Dragon Kingdom that took action.

After all, the Jingdong area where the U-2 was conducting reconnaissance this time was only a few dozen kilometers away from the Dragon Kingdom border. With the Dragon Kingdom’s current air defense missile technology, it would not be difficult to shoot down the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft.

But then he thought it was impossible.

Three years ago, when the Dragon Kingdom held a military exercise in a certain sea area, the Eagle Kingdom sent a U-2 reconnaissance aircraft into the exercise airspace. The Dragon Kingdom only expelled it and condemned it internationally, and did not directly attack it with missiles. Come down.

The person in charge of that matter at the time was Carter, who was still the commander of the Indo-Pacific Theater.

In addition to the downing of the U-2 reconnaissance plane, the high-altitude reconnaissance photos sent back by the U-2 reconnaissance plane are also very problematic.

“Chris, call the military satellite closest to the Golden Triangle area to conduct satellite reconnaissance of Jingdong City in the Golden Triangle.” Carter came to a department, found the person in charge of the department, and said to him.

“Okay, Deputy Minister Carter.” The man named Chris immediately arranged for several staff members to form a temporary team and began to use military satellites to conduct reconnaissance of the Jingdong area of the Golden Triangle.

Carter then sat in Chris’s office chair, waiting for the results of the investigation.

This is a department in the Polygonal Building of the Eagle Kingdom that specializes in using military satellites to conduct reconnaissance around the world. For example, in recent years, the warships of the Dragon Kingdom are like dumplings.

This department conducted satellite reconnaissance of multiple shipyards along the coast of Longguo and took many photos to judge the strength of Longguo’s military shipyards, as well as the construction speed and construction capabilities of warships.

Many of the aircraft carrier photos of the Dragon Kingdom were circulated by them.

But this time, when these military satellites with unimpeded access around the world aimed their reconnaissance equipment at the Jingdong area of the Golden Triangle, they found that there was a dark mosaic.

Nothing could be seen in the entire Jingdong Plain. In the picture displayed by the military satellite, there was only pitch black.

The staff of the temporary team immediately started talking quietly, and even Chris stepped forward to help.

As a result, it was still impossible to find out what was blocking the military satellite’s reconnaissance.

“Chris, what happened?” Carter, sensing something was wrong, stood up from his chair, stood behind Chris, and asked.

“Um… maybe this satellite is malfunctioning.” Chris quickly ordered two more satellites to be transferred over, and the satellite over the southwestern part of Dragon Kingdom was also transferred over.

As a result, the two military satellites also captured a dark mosaic.

Chris has been engaged in space military reconnaissance for more than 30 years, and this is the first time he has encountered this strange phenomenon.

At this time, Carter also came forward and saw the monitor screen of a staff member.

I saw three black areas in the Golden Triangle area on the screen, blocking the military satellite’s photography.

“Fog of war?” A staff member who usually likes to play video games suddenly exclaimed.
