Back in 1978, I was admitted to Northwestern Polytechnical University.

Chapter 425 To scare the Filipino monkeys, one stealth anti-ship missile is enough!

That reason seems plausible!
"Now that you've taken control of the Vietnamese monkeys on Beizi Island, shouldn't you return Beizi Island?" Stilwell asked.

"Return it? Mr. Stilwell, I'm afraid we can't do that!"

"why?"

"Take a look at this."

Stilwell took the newspaper. Having lived in the East for several years, he had also learned the local language, and he could read the newspaper fluently.

Front page headlines.

The content is detailed, starting with maps and territories from the Yuan Dynasty, and then showing the many relics that the soldiers discovered after landing on Beizi Island. These vivid examples irrefutably demonstrate that the ownership of Beizi Island is indisputable.

“Mr. Stilwell, we really just wanted to catch up with the Vietnamese monkey, but... now that this report has come out, you should know our situation, right? We can't agree to your demands, otherwise... we'll be drowned in the spittle of angry people.”

"No, no, you can't do this!" Stilwell gritted his teeth. "I don't care who wrote this report, you have to give us an explanation. Our navy is still in Philippine port!"

"Mr. Stilwell, what do you mean? I don't quite understand. Your navy is there to deal with the Soviets, isn't it? We're friends! Are you going to abandon us like you did in '82, when you abandoned your best friend in South America without hesitation?"

Stilwell's expression changed several times before he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course not, we just want to uphold justice... We know that last time you used electronic warfare and information warfare to make the Russians bow down, but... your methods are ineffective against us. We are equipped with digital frequency-hopping radios. You might be able to interfere, but trying to switch to our frequency band and synchronize frequency hopping with us is a no-go!"

"Those few Q-5s you have are simply not worth a second thought in our eyes..."

"An aircraft carrier battle group, so what?" Just then, a voice rang out from the doorway.

Stilwell looked up and saw a young man standing there.

"Qin?"

Now, if anyone doesn't know Qin Liang, then he must be an insignificant newbie!
Stilwell was well aware of Qin Liang's identity, and now, what he meant by saying that...

"Were the supersonic anti-ship missiles that appeared on the Asunción battlefield supplied by you?" Stilwell's tone turned icy.

After that naval battle, they continued their investigation. Although the Russians were the prime suspects, their suspicions gradually shifted towards the East, since the East had been supplying weapons to the Crying Country, including supersonic anti-ship missiles...

Qin Liang smiled and shook his head: "No, no, we think that the Russians' decision to pursue supersonic anti-ship missiles is a mistake! The speed is just that it increases the difficulty of interception, not that it is impossible to intercept. Anti-ship missiles need to appear silently near the enemy! At most, the enemy can only see them visually."

Stilwell's eyes widened: "A stealth missile?"

Sure enough, as expected of someone from the US, they could guess it was a stealth weapon right away. If it were the Russians... they probably wouldn't have been able to figure it out even if they racked their brains.

Qin Liang smiled and said, "Mr. Stilwell, the stealth design of your fourth-generation fighter jet was provided by Northwestern Polytechnical University. I wonder how the progress of this aircraft is?"

Although the United States flew the world's first stealth fighter, the F-117, Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) quickly caught up! To date, the world's most advanced stealth technology is at NPU, so applying this technology to missiles is a breeze for us!

"Qin, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"I don't want to say anything. I just think that maintaining the status quo is fine. After all, we already have this newspaper, and we can't back down. I don't think you would want to have a falling out with us over such a small matter, would you?"

Stilwell's face darkened: "What about America's reputation?"

"Mr. Stilwell, isn't the most important thing for you to confront the Soviet Union? You wouldn't risk a falling out with our great nation over a monkey, would you? If that happens, it won't just be a simple matter of Northwestern Polytechnical University terminating all cooperation with your United States!"

Qin Liang looked at the other person: "We can also cooperate fully with the Soviet Union to improve their electronic technology..."

"No, you can't do that, that's betrayal!" Stilwell cried out anxiously.

At present, the only area in which the West has a technological advantage over the Soviet Union is electronic systems. If this weakness is overcome, the Soviet Union will be an even more formidable opponent!

"That's just the worst-case scenario, and of course we don't want it to come to that. You... should be able to make the best choice, right?"

Stilwell froze on the spot; he knew the worst had happened.

They had no other choice but to agree!

After some negotiation, the Americans' response to the Filipinos was simply to demand their acquiescence! The Filipinos were furious!

"Damn it, we've been abandoned by the Americans!"

"Hmph, even without the support of the Americans, we can still take back what belongs to us with our own abilities. After all, the South China Sea is very close to us and very far from the people of the East!"

Looking at his angry subordinates, Marcos knew that he had no other choice at this point.

"Alright, then let's deploy..."

"Report!" Just then, someone rushed in.

"They announced an exercise, designating an area within 500 kilometers of the Twin Reefs as the center. During the exercise, any merchant ship that wants to pass through the area will need to report to them!"

"Damn it! What are they trying to do!"

"That's right, our homeland is only 560 kilometers away from there. Their 500-kilometer exercise area is practically encroaching on our doorstep!"

The crowd became even angrier; they had never seen anyone bully people like this before!

"Deploy our Malva-class destroyers and show them what we're made of!"

The Philippines' navy is very weak. To date, the largest main warship the Philippines possesses is the Marwa-class gunboat from World War II, with a displacement of 1250 tons. Such a warship can be sent into the sea with just one C801 anti-ship missile!
But now, the Filipino monkey has been completely blinded by greed and has lost all reason!

Subic Bay Naval Base.

Base Commander Mitchell looked out the window.

The harbor is filled with masts, and in particular, an aircraft carrier with a flat deck stands out. That is the USS Constellation, which was recently summoned to the Subic Bay Naval Base. For it, this is almost like going home. After all, the USS Constellation was deployed many times when fighting the monkeys, and each time it docked and rested at the Subic Bay Naval Base.

The deck was empty; there were no carrier-based aircraft in sight. They had all been transferred to land-based air bases for better rest and recuperation.

"General, they've been making quite a racket lately, we..."

Hearing the voice behind him, Mitchell turned around and looked at the familiar figure: "Colonel Walker, you want to go out in the Constellation?"

"What kind of 500-kilometer exercise radius is this? This is clearly a blatant disregard for the U.S. Navy..."

As the captain of the Constellation, Colonel Walker could no longer contain himself and felt insulted.

"Colonel Walker, don't forget the naval battle near Asunción! Although there were costs associated with carelessness at the time, the aircraft carrier has already been sent to the bottom of the sea! Our navy also needs to learn from this naval battle. If we encounter hundreds of supersonic anti-ship missiles again next time, do you think the Constellation formation can withstand them?"

"That's impossible. Even if they set up missile launchers all over there, they couldn't possibly have hundreds of missiles. Besides, that would be such a huge drain on resources. I just don't believe the Easterners would be willing to launch so many at once..."

"What if it's a stealth anti-ship missile?"

Colonel Walker, his earlier confidence gone, paused for a moment, then said, "I think they're bluffing. We..."

"Report! The Philippine Navy has been deployed!" "Alright, let's see what the Philippine Navy encounters." Mitchell said, "Take off an E-2 early warning aircraft to observe the entire process!"

"Just watching? Our tomcat..."

"No, no, angering the Easterners will not do us any good. Walker, as the captain of an aircraft carrier, you must not only be a military commander, but also an excellent politician!"

Walker remained unconvinced: "That doesn't mean we can be cowards. Okay... let's launch an E-2 early warning aircraft and see how they react."

After World War II, the United States provided the Philippines with a batch of Malva-class warships. After the Vietnam War, some Malva-class warships from South Korea also fled to the Philippines and were taken over by the Philippine Navy. Now, the Philippine Navy has a total of 11 of these warships, which are the main force of the Philippine Navy!
With a 76mm main gun at the bow, six 40mm secondary guns at the stern, and two 20mm secondary guns, this old ship is actually going to be the mainstay of the Philippine Navy! And the Philippines even dare to sail it around so arrogantly!
Ten Malwa-class gunboats formed the main force of the Philippine Navy. In their eyes, this force was enough for them to take back the island!
At the very front, the HMAS Magasalamat, hull number 20, was the flagship of the entire fleet. Philippine Navy Commander Sponge Sin stood on the bridge, looking at the distant sea with a confident expression: "Hmph, if they dare to attack us, our American friends will come to our aid! We're just scouting ahead!"

"That's right, Easterners had better behave themselves... What's that up ahead?"

On the sea, a black object is flying at high speed!
Everyone's pupils dilated, and some even gasped in surprise.

"Anti-ship missile! Anti-ship missile!"

Of course they knew that the Easterners had advanced anti-ship missiles, which had sent British carrier strike groups to the bottom of the sea during the Falklands War!

And now, these anti-ship missiles are actually heading straight for the Philippine Navy!
How to do how to do?
They had only sailed less than 100 kilometers out to sea, just entering the edge of the exercise area announced by the other side, when they were attacked by anti-ship missiles. What does this mean?
The anti-ship missiles from the East have a very long range! If they can reach this point, they can also reach their homeland. They can be either anti-ship missiles or shore-to-ship missiles!

With this thing around, the Filipino monkeys will have no choice but to behave themselves from now on!

Wait, let's talk about the future later. Right now, will they be sunk?
Nobody knew; they were just watching with wide eyes as the anti-ship missiles came hurtling towards them.

"It's not C801!" Sponge-Shin shouted.

He was familiar with the C801, a cylindrical missile with four wings in the middle and tail, which looked almost identical to the Exocet missile.

And now?

The anti-ship missile in front of us has wings that unfold in the middle, like a small airplane with a swept-back angle. It has only a vertical tail and no other wing surfaces.

The missile's overall layout is very simple, and the missile body... the missile body is not cylindrical, but has a very special shape, though he couldn't quite describe how it was special...

Just then, something suddenly occurred to him: "What about the shipborne radar? Has it detected it?"

"Report: No results found!"

What's going on? This missile can't be detected by radar at all! This is... a high-tech stealth anti-ship missile!

The Easterners told the Americans that if their aircraft carriers dared to deploy, they would use stealth anti-ship missiles to attack them. But now, the American aircraft carriers haven't even been deployed yet, so how can you Easterners bring out such weapons?
No martial ethics! No martial ethics!
SpongeSin wanted to curse angrily, but he was more concerned about the safety of his fleet, and now the missile was very close, heading straight for his flagship!
Puff, puff!
Someone has already jumped into the sea!
Just one of these missiles is enough to destroy a 3,000-ton displacement destroyer. Their 1,000-ton gunboats simply cannot withstand the attack!

So, some people couldn't overcome their fear and jumped!
But... will jumping in guarantee survival? Swimming back on your own is unrealistic; if you're not pulled out, you're doomed anyway.

and many more!

The missile actually launched?

Before everyone's dilated pupils, the missile began to climb, rising from a height of five meters above the sea to a height of thirty meters.

Whoosh!
The missile flew past the mast of the Magasalamat and continued forward...

From the warships behind, desperate cries rang out.

"Oh, damn!"

"no no!"

Amidst the shouts, the sounds of people jumping into the sea echoed continuously...

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The missile flew past warship after warship, and after passing the last one, it continued its flight...

Pfft!
Sponge-Shin could no longer control his trembling legs and plopped down on his bottom.

"General, general!"

"I'm fine. Order the fleet to return to port! Damn it..."

The difference in strength is enormous; they simply cannot contend with the Eastern Navy! The other side just made a show of force; if they had intended to kill, their fleet would have already vanished into the frigid ocean! As for the US Navy…

Even the US Navy probably couldn't stop this kind of missile; the Falklands War already demonstrated that...

Sponge-Shin felt very heavy-hearted.

The fleet began to turn, making a 180-degree turn, then increased speed and headed back, and then...

"A missile has been detected ahead!"

Another new one?
No, no, it was that missile! It flew past the Philippine Navy fleet, circled around, and then turned back!

It's here to show off its muscles!
The Philippine Navy, faced with this anti-ship missile, could only kneel in despair!
"Never mind it, let's go back to base, go back to base!" Sponge-Shin's voice trembled.

The missile continued its advance, sweeping past the Philippine naval fleet head-on and disappearing into the distance. The Philippine naval vessels fled in panic, even abandoning the sailors who had jumped into the sea. Since they had chosen to jump, they could swim back!

Subic Bay Naval Base.

"What did you say?" Colonel Walker looked at the communications officer in surprise: "The other side launched an anti-ship missile to scare the Filipinos?"

"Yes, this anti-ship missile has a long range. After all, they can only launch it from the Twin Islands, fly over the Philippine monkey formation, circle around a few times, and finally fly back. Conservatively speaking, the missile's range is over a thousand kilometers."

While the anti-ship missiles from the East are formidable, their range is limited; the C801 only has a range of 40 kilometers. Therefore, the US Navy has not paid much attention to them. But now, they have suddenly revealed their trump card: a range of over 1,000 kilometers. What does this mean?
It could be launched entirely outside the air defense perimeter of a US Navy carrier strike group!
"Range is not the most important thing. What is most frightening to us is that it is a stealth anti-ship missile. Our E-2 early warning aircraft monitored it throughout the entire process and never detected any trace of the missile."

"I knew it! I knew it! Easterners never boast. In many ways, they are frighteningly humble!" Mitchell suddenly shouted. "If others say they have something, they might be lying. But if Easterners say they have something, then they really do. In fact, what they can reveal is just the basic stuff. They might have even more advanced weapons in their arsenal!"

Mitchell was genuinely on the verge of a breakdown.

Stealth anti-ship missiles with a range of over a thousand kilometers are unstoppable, not only by the Philippines but also by the US Navy! When Skunk Works was manufacturing the F-117, did they ever consider that this weapon would ultimately backfire on the United States itself?
"Has the missile's shape been photographed?"

"No, they were on board with a photographer, intending to film the recapture of Beizi Island. However, they were startled by the incoming missile, and the photographer jumped into the sea on the spot. His whereabouts are currently unknown..."

"These monkeys are completely unreliable!"

"However, based on their description, we drew up the basic shape. This missile's body is no longer cylindrical; it has swept wings and a vertical tail..."

This layout, if only described, is only of reference value. To actually develop it, we have to start from scratch!
"Report! Report!" Just then, another trembling voice rang out.

"what happened?"

"A plane has disappeared in the airspace over Sakhalin Island..."
