Click, Rolans turned off the radio on the table and said to his companions behind him with a blank expression:

Did you see that? If I don't save you, none of you will be able to escape, all of you will die.

Boss, why is there a buzzing sound in the radio? Bici stood behind Rolans and asked with his head lowered.

That's because the rebels were using jamming equipment, and the radio was jammed, of course there was a buzzing sound!

Boss, what should we do now? As Tom's voice sounded, everyone's eyes turned to Rolans.

I'm not God, it's already very lucky that I was able to save you. Now we'll just have to take it one step at a time. All of you stay here and don't run around, keep an eye on these people, I'll be back in a bit. Clark, go shopping with me and see what's going on around here!

President Li Liangshan had been going crazy for the past two days, because in these two days, he had received dozens of reports of troop rebellions. There was nothing much to say about the other rebellious troops, but what he couldn't accept the most was that the First Infantry Division that was fighting on the front line had also rebelled (the NY Army that attacked Rolans after the Li Cailin incident). This was his most trusted direct army, and even such an obedient army didn't listen to his command. This made the arrogant President Li Liangshan so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

After the NY Army on the front line rebelled, Li Liangshan not only reported the situation to the UA, but also ordered his pitiful air force to attack the rebel armed forces.

Less than three hours after the order was issued, they received the news that the guards of Mingshan Airport near Xihe Port had rebelled. In addition to the rebellious guards of the airport, more serious things were yet to come!

Four P51 Mustangs, which were already covered with flags, flew back shortly after taking off. These planes launched a fierce attack on the US Army troops guarding the airport with machine guns and bombs. The unprepared US Army guards were immediately blown up and fled in all directions. After an hour of fierce fighting, the 600 remaining US Army troops guarding Mingshan Airport surrendered to the Allied Forces.

When the US Army General Headquarters in NY learned of the situation, they immediately sent 5,000 regular elite troops to recapture Mingshan Airport. Through the intelligence of an informant, the Allied Forces learned that the US Army had come to seize the airport immediately abandoned the important Mingshan Airport. Before the US Army arrived, the Allied Forces blew up all the planes at the airport one by one.

The 5,000 US Army soldiers who rushed to the airport did not engage in a fierce battle with the enemy. When they arrived at the airport, not only did they find that the planes had been destroyed, but even the apron and runway of the airport had been severely damaged. After the Allied Forces found that there were many powerful aviation bombs in the ammunition depot near the airport, they used these ready-made bombs to make explosives to destroy the airport. Because the aviation bombs were so powerful, after the explosion, there was a three-meter-wide and one-meter-deep crater in the cement of the airport. After 30 such bombs were detonated, Mingshan Airport was no longer of any use in the short term.

When the news reached the General Headquarters, all the officers of the US Army present were furious. Aha! I don't blame you for destroying the airport, but it's wrong of you to blow up the planes. Do you know that a plane costs a lot of money to buy?

In addition to the 12 P51 Mustangs that were blown up at Mingshan Airport, most of the planes were F2 fighters. The US Army did not care much about the F2s being blown up. What they cared about was that among the planes, there were two F4s that were undergoing combat testing. One of the two F4s was a two-seat naval model, and the other was a two-seat army model.

In order to gain an absolute advantage in the sky during the Cold War, the United States flew the first F4 for the first time in May 1958. Because the test was not satisfactory, it was not put into service until October 1961. After the US Army purchased 100 F4s, they immediately sent them to the elite troops who were fighting against Mao Xiong on the front line in Europe. Seeing that the Americans were equipped with such a good plane, the allies were also jealous. The United Kingdom requested 30, France requested 15, West Germany requested at least 80, the Netherlands requested 5, and Belgium requested 45 (Belgium and West Germany were the strongest combination during the Cold War). Canada requested 10 (Belgium and West Germany were the strongest combination during the Cold War), and Serre and Japan also requested 50 after learning about the situation of the European Allies.

Seeing so many orders, the United States was both happy and worried. As this was the latest plane to enter service, the US Army did not know much about its performance. In order to better understand this new plane, the US Army brought this new equipment to Vietnam to understand the real situation on the battlefield. They did not expect it to be blown up by the Allied Forces at the airport.

The F4 was a typical representative of the second generation of American fighter jets. It had better performance in all aspects. Not only was it good in air combat, it was also very strong in ground attacks. It was the main fighter jet of the United States Air Force and Navy in the 1960s and 1970s. It had participated in the Vietnam War and the Middle East War. It was also once used by the United States Air Force's "Thunderbird" flight demonstration team. Its main airborne equipment includes a full-altitude bombing system, a fire-control radar, an automatic fire-control system, a weapon delivery system, an optical sighting device, a radar homing and a warning system, and so on.

The shortcomings of the F4 were poor maneuverability at high angles of attack, poor performance at high altitudes and ultra-low altitudes, and high runway requirements when taking off and landing. (Because of the high requirements of the runway, it was placed at Mingshan Airport.)

The F-4E was also equipped with an M-4

61A1 autocannon.

At that time, the F4 canceled the machine gun because of the useless theory of the machine gun, so it suffered greatly in the Y Battle, so it urgently added a gun pod. The US Army General Command had to take responsibility for such an important matter like F4 being blown up by the enemy. In order to shirk the responsibility, the US simply pushed everything onto Li Liangshan. They said that they did not send heavy troops to protect the airport, that corruption led to insufficient military funding, that the quality of the soldiers was poor, and that the efficiency of the intelligence agency was low. Wait, wait, wait!

There was only one purpose for the Americans to come up with so many crimes, and that was to compensate for my plane! After receiving the compensation document from the US representative, the monkeys were angry. We are poor, you know this, because you are the one who lent us the loan. We haven't even paid off the loan of more than one billion yet, and you want us to pay for it? What a joke!

I don't have money, but I have a life. Oh, no, I don't even want to give you my life! If you want, I can sell you the fish from the seabed along the coast at a low price. You can eat it, or you can buy it. It's all up to you. But first of all, I don't have a fishing boat. If it's not enough, I can cut down more trees and provide you with a sampan. Faced with NY's shameless behavior, the Americans were also furious. They had no choice but to report the situation to the Pentagon!

In the face of the fierce offensive of the Allied Forces, the originally high-spirited NY Army abandoned important strongholds and newly occupied vast rural areas, retreating to the ports and fortified strongholds with strong ships and cannons.

The NY Army's rebellion and the attack of the Allied Forces frightened the politicians in Washington. After 48 hours of emergency consultation, the US President finally made up his mind and issued a special order. This order was first sent to the US Army Headquarters stationed in Guam, then to the US Army Headquarters stationed in Japan, and finally to the island closest to Vietnam, TW.

TW was known by the US Army as the unsinkable aircraft carrier. The geographical location of this island was very important. Due to political reasons, the US Army did not station troops here. It only built a symbolic observation station called the Hydrometeorological Observatory. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was an observatory, but it was actually a small sentry base, because there were more than 500 US Army security troops and staff stationed here.
