Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

More JESAM air-to-ground missiles flew in, and the S-300's medium-range interceptor missiles were launched to intercept them.

A spectacular display of bombs and fireworks, accompanied by missiles flying in pursuit, took place over Tokyo Bay.

The dual-carrier attack group has withdrawn. (The remaining text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)

"North! North! The Nimitz is under attack!"

Soon, the Nimitz in the north launched its carrier strike group, thinking that Li Xinghe had not spotted them, and flew slowly.

Li Xinghe said.

"Let them get close to Tokyo Bay, then wipe them out!"

Soon, the second wave of air attacks failed. Before these planes even got close to Tokyo Bay, they learned that the first attack had failed, so they dropped a few missiles and ran away.

The citizens of Tokyo, however, found it amusing.

They gave everyone a holiday and set off fireworks, but many people didn't even know that what exploded was a missile.

However, the third wave of attacks took advantage of this opportunity and launched from the direction of Pearl Harbor.

"It's an F-35A!"

"F-35A of the U.S. 12th Air Force!"

Inside the radar station, everyone anxiously stared at the screen.

Officers from China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, and Russia stood shoulder to shoulder, their tension palpable.

"Lock on, lock on, lock on... Sukabul, they're out there, the radar jamming is too strong, we can't lock on!"

The F-35A dared not approach.

At that distance, their radar couldn't lock onto the F-35A!

However, even so, a new problem has arisen.

Although Li Xinghe's radar network couldn't detect the F-35A harassing the area from hundreds of kilometers away, the only air-to-ground missile the F-35A could use was the AGM-158-JASSM. This missile, which entered service in 2004 and had a rather weak warhead, was not only slow but also easy to intercept.

So they launched the mounted missiles and then withdrew.

The incoming JTSAM missile was easily dealt with by the interceptor missile.

After three rounds of air raids, Tokyo was not only impregnable, but there was even a lingering sense of fighting. In any case, Li Xinghe's money had been genuinely spent, and this air defense missile special forces brigade had been established; let them gain experience.

Late at night, Takikawa Masami sat in front of the television station, confidently announcing to the entire nation:

"The aerial attacks by missiles of unknown origin have all been blocked by the Iron Wall of Tokyo! Our steel wall is strong enough to stop any attack from any direction!"

Tokyo residents suddenly realized that it wasn't Li Xinghe setting off fireworks, but a real missile battle.

Immediately, everyone laughed again.

Are we not only dealing with wild F-18 fighter jets, but also with wild unidentified missiles?

Is this a real-world, three-dimensional Pokémon?

Is it really that amazing?

Amidst the tense atmosphere, so much so that it seemed like a joke, yet the news anchors read the reports with utmost seriousness, a new concept was quietly established by Li Xinghe.

Tokyo Iron Wall!

He certainly couldn't admit that he had introduced a large amount of air defense missile technology from China, North Korea, and Russia. The S-400, HQ-9B, and Lightning air defense missile systems were all described by Li Xinghe as the "Iron Wall Air Defense System," creating a concept similar to Israel's "Iron Dome" air defense system.

It was as if every missile entering this air defense zone would be perfectly blocked by Li Xinghe's Iron Wall system.

But in the eyes of the White House, they only felt completely humiliated.

Li Xinghe is openly mocking the White House's incompetence!

Vance clenched his fists, gritting his teeth:

"We also have B-2 stealth bombers!"

Listening to the sounds coming from the delivery room, Li Xinghe said cautiously:

"Watch out, they still have B-2 bombers!"

Vance, extremely dissatisfied, gave the following order to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:

"We must curb his arrogance!"

Li Xinghe instructed the Chinese team to prepare to unleash their power:

"Increase the power of the meter-wave radar and give them a good beating!"

In any case, behind these radar waves lies the iron wall of Tokyo!

Chapter 753: Star Rivers Triumphs Over Nimitz, Vance Plans to Build Battleships (5900 words)

The sky is scorching.

The sea is boiling.

Over Tokyo Bay, F-15 fighter jets and F-4 training aircraft from the Air Self-Defense Force scrambled to search for any trace of a non-existent enemy.

However, the JASDF couldn't even find its own Chief of Staff, because Chief of Staff Ogasawara was currently in a radar command post where a large group of foreign instructors were gathered, nervously staring at the incomprehensible radar.

Everyone is waiting for the legendary B-2 bomber to see its combat effectiveness.

At the Royal Hospital next door, Li Xinghe was still waiting for the results of his cesarean section, while at the radar station, everyone was also waiting for their babies to be born.

Suddenly, a Chinese instructor hurriedly stood up:

"B2 has appeared! B2 has appeared!"

Everyone rushed over, only to see a distant dot of light flash by on the radar.

The radar technicians were also speechless:

"They skimmed the sea surface about 600 kilometers away, fired four JESAM missiles, and then left."

Just like that, you left?

He just flashed away like that?

Everyone present felt extremely angry.

You idiot air force pilot! You should know your shame!

Can a B-2 bomber just leave a trail of exhaust 600 kilometers and run away?

If you dare get close to Tokyo, I'll bomb one of them down!

Li Xinghe, who was unaware of the situation on the ground, asked on the phone:

How did you find them?

Answered on the spot:

"It was calculated based on the missiles they fired. Moreover, the air defense surveillance posts on the Pacific coast have detected some aircraft tracks, which are much larger than expected, possibly because the stealth coating has disappeared."

Even near-shore surveillance stations can detect their presence?

In other words, the expensive stealth coating on the B-2 bombers may not have been applied at all. They were hastily deployed and were far less courageous than the naval aviation. At least the naval aviation's Super Hornets dared to attempt to penetrate 300 kilometers of Tokyo's airspace, losing two F-18EFs in the process. The B-2 bombers, however, only dared to appear more than 800 kilometers away.

Does not appearing on the battlefield also constitute a form of ultimate invisibility?

Naturally, some people have raised questions:

"If they were to be withdrawn from the battlefield because they lacked stealth coatings, then why are their annual maintenance costs so high?"

Yes, where's the money?

What about the tens of millions of dollars in annual maintenance costs for coatings and temperature-controlled cabins?

Everyone in the command post covered their faces.

Don't ask, it's all Commissioner Smith's money.

At this moment, Li Xinghe's heart was bleeding.

I wish I hadn't spent over $30 billion on such a luxurious collection. This is all disposable property; if I want to restock, I'll have to pay protection money to these bigwigs.

Lin Youzi suddenly clapped her hands and said:

"We have won."

Everyone then realized what was going on.

Throughout the night's battle, they repelled attacks from three carrier strike groups, Air Force Group 12, and the rumored B-2 bombers.

It seems... just so-so.

They were not as powerful as imagined; the JESAM missiles flew around but could not break through the radar blockade of the S-series and HQ-1 air defense missile battalions.

Although the US military may not have formally established the determination to break through and conduct operations, it is enough to show that in missile and air defense confrontation, the US is not at a disadvantage.

Li Xinghe hoped that the money he spent would at least have some effect.

What conclusions did everyone reach?

Some people shared their opinions:

"Combat experience has proven that the JSSAM subsonic cruise missile, with its almost complete lack of lateral stealth and extreme vulnerability to terminal missile defense, is a completely outdated product. We cannot rely on such offensive air-to-ground missiles as our only air-to-ground weapon. Its power and reliability are no longer as good as shuttle drones or hypersonic missiles."

As it turns out, the JESAM subsonic cruise missile has become less effective in high-intensity system-on-system warfare. Its offensive capabilities are far weaker than hypersonic missiles, its penetration capabilities are increasingly hampered by sophisticated terminal defense systems, its lack of lateral stealth makes effective terminal hits difficult, and its inability to penetrate at supersonic speeds is its fundamental weakness.

If you need the lethality and radius of a Jessam, why not use a large shuttle drone?

If a breakthrough is needed, why not use a hypersonic missile?

If you need inexpensive ground attack munitions, why choose the Jessam, whose cost has skyrocketed?

This subsonic cruise missile, which debuted in 2004, will seem as ineffective as an old woman on the battlefield in 2029. Ironically, it's practically the only truly effective air-to-ground weapon in the US military's arsenal. In fact, it could be argued that aside from it, only the older Maverick missile or the B-61 tactical nuclear missile remain.

Many generals answered:

"This is not a problem with Jessam. It's a problem with the stagnation of US missile technology over the past 30 years, which has allowed it to be surpassed by various emerging regional countries."

The US military's AGM-183 hypersonic missile is still in the laboratory, undergoing repeated tests and has not been deployed on a large scale. Therefore, the US military does not have a better and more effective means of penetration.

Some have also suggested the necessity of establishing a multi-tiered strike capability:

"The entire United States seems to be pursuing a one-size-fits-all solution. The F-18-EF has replaced many previous aircraft models, and the JSAM has replaced most air-to-ground attack weapons. It may be useful when bullying the weak, but when faced with a truly powerful defensive shield, it has only one move and no other options. The necessity of building a multi-dimensional, multi-intensity tiered strike capability is higher than creating a one-size-fits-all aircraft, missile, or tank. A one-size-fits-all solution is one that cannot be solved at all."

This is the most profound understanding everyone has tonight.

The US military has enjoyed a smooth ride in its 30-year domination of weaker opponents with its single weapon and missile. However, when faced with high-intensity combat on a real battlefield, this one-trick pony proves ineffective.

This problem with the US military was already exposed on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, causing US-made weapons to often show their incompetence.

Many people with American phobia exclaimed for the first time:

"America is nothing special."

Li Xinghe experienced the exhilarating feeling of the Houthi rebels chasing after the US military, while the US military, like giants with feet of clay, was caught off guard and even fled in disarray.

Then, the Nimitz was found at the scene:

"The satellite has located the Nimitz. Should we launch a counterattack? If we launch anti-ship missiles now, we can catch up."

Launching offensive missiles at US forces?

This violates the post-war constitution. The US military can retaliate at any time.

Many Japanese chiefs of staff and generals shook their heads vigorously.

"You can't hit him, can you?"

"We've already prevented it, shall we stop here?"

The Japanese's cowardice greatly displeased officers from other countries.

Lin Youzi also emphasized again:

"We also have the Type 12 anti-ship missile (Type 2 Kai-2)! We can use the Kanto launch site to drive the Nimitz away!"

Li Xinghe immediately agreed:

"I have to shoot one, otherwise it will look like I'm just taking the hits without fighting back."

"shooting!"

Without Li Xinghe needing to make a phone call to micromanage, the missile was launched from the missile base east of Tokyo, with a Type 2 12 anti-ship missile taking off.
