British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once summed up a motto in response to the development relations of all countries in the world: "There are no eternal enemies in the world, nor eternal friends, only eternal interests." Indeed, since the world entered modern times, the Cold War and hot wars have continued one after another, and countries have fought back and forth, in the final analysis, to fight for their own interests.
In 1994, Chinese and American warships engaged in a fierce confrontation near the Yellow Sea, and the stalemate between the two sides lasted for three days and three nights.
So why did the Warships of China and the United States suddenly confront each other in the waters of the Yellow Sea?
How did the mainland resolve this huge crisis?
What happened?
The contradictions between the United States and North Korea have escalated, and the threat of sending warships has been sent
In the 1950s, when the U.S.-North Korea hot war ended, North Koreans, who had suffered from the war, realized the importance of nuclear weapons.
Therefore, in order to improve its own military strength, North Korea began to step up its independent development of nuclear weapons.
After learning of North Korea's move, the United States could not sit still.
The United States was the first country in the world to successfully develop nuclear weapons, and if it did not have such a powerful weapon blessing, how could it maintain its ambition of "world domination"?
In other words, the arrogance and inexplicable arrogance of the United States actually come entirely from the terrible power of nuclear weapons that can "destroy the world."
Just think, once north Korea is indeed successful in developing nuclear weapons, not only will the "dream of hegemony" of the United States for many years be shattered, but if North Korea uses this to seek revenge, what will they do then?
Therefore, from its own long-term interests, the United States will never allow North Korea to do so.
Subsequently, the United States adopted various means to obstruct North Korea's development of nuclear weapons.
They first joined forces with their former enemy and ally, the Soviet Union, to use the threat of force to pressure North Korea and coerce it into abandoning the idea of developing nuclear weapons.
The United States and the Soviet Union even forced North Korea to sign the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and at the beginning, North Korea was really afraid, so it chose to compromise.
However, north Korea's concessions, far from causing the United States to stop, intensified it and added new provisions to the originally agreed treaty, the so-called Nuclear Monitoring Agreement.
The U.S. advance completely angered North Korea, and the previous treaty with it was torn up and annulled.
After the abortion of the US-DPRK treaty, the relations between the two countries have continued to deteriorate and develop, and the situation facing the DPRK authorities has become increasingly critical.
In October 1994, the United States proposed to north Korea to change the "heavy water reactor" that had already been put into service to a "light water reactor", but in the face of this unreasonable request from the United States, north Korea once again refused.
On October 27 of the same year, the United States decided to launch a hot offensive against North Korea to let it know the fate of "rebellion" itself.
Therefore, the United States immediately dispatched the "Kitty Hawk" warship directly to the Yellow Sea, in an attempt to lock the west coast of North Korea and choke north Korea's throat.
The US Navy provoked, and our military fighters escorted it
As we all know, part of the Yellow Sea belongs to the high seas, which strictly speaking, does not belong to any country.
And according to the United Nations International Convention on the Seas, if a country wants to try to blockade another country through the high seas, it must take the lead in notifying the countries surrounding the sea area to avoid accidental injuries and unnecessary contradictions.
Previously, the United States directly entered the high seas without informing China, which was a clear violation of international conventions.
Moreover, after entering the high seas, the US ship "Little Eagle" also sailed into China's territorial waters in the Yellow Sea without authorization, and its arrogance was very arrogant.
Just at this time, a Navy Han-class nuclear attack submarine (Type 091 nuclear submarine) on the mainland had just completed its operation and was preparing to return to the sea, and it encountered this "uninvited guest".
In the face of our warships, the US Navy not only did not avoid the slightest concession, but instead sent anti-submarine aircraft to throw sonar in an attempt to position and measure our submarines.
Due to the disparity in strength, the mainland navy could only avoid the calculation of the US military while avoiding the calculation of the US military in the sea, and at the same time contact the Qingdao base to seek assistance.
After receiving the information from our army's submarine for help, the Qingdao base sensed that the situation was serious and immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.
You know, once our nuclear submarines are successfully positioned by the US military and forced to surface, it means surrendering to the US military.
This will not only lose the dignity of the Chinese navy, but also tell the world in disguise that China's naval strength is inferior to that of the United States, which will be a great humiliation for the mainland.
In this way, China and the United States confronted each other in the waters of the Yellow Sea for nearly 60 hours, during which the US warships launched seven attacks of varying sizes on the mainland's nuclear submarines, and our submarines were in danger.
At this moment, the mainland air base sent two J-7 fighters to come to the aid, and the fighters were instructed to: If the Chinese Navy's Han-class nuclear submarine has encountered an accident, then the US Navy will be beaten to death!
Ten minutes later, the fighter arrived at the scene of the incident, and after confirming that our nuclear submarine had not encountered an accident, it sailed away from the sea.
However, the US warships did not stop there, and sent several anti-submarine planes to surround our nuclear submarines and trace them all the way to the Bohai Sea.
In the face of this dangerous provocation by the United States, the Qingdao command once again dispatched two loaded bomb planes and two other escort aircraft to assist the nuclear submarine in returning to the course.
Out of morality, our warplanes did not fire directly, but adopted the strategy of "salute first and soldiers later", shouting at the US troops in English and demanding that they quickly withdraw from China's territorial waters.
In the face of the warning of the continental fighters, the US Navy, instead of withdrawing, let the two fighters hover near the mainland's aircraft carriers, thus forcing our fighters into the inner circle.
As a result, the two Su-27 fighters in the outer circle began to negotiate with the US Navy again, but still to no avail.
At this time, the pilot of one of the Su-27 fighters was completely angered by this bad attitude of the US military, and with the idea of "ending up with it", he directly raised his fighter and quickly cut diagonally to the F14 US fighter located on the right.
At the same time, another "J-8" fighter on the mainland also quickly positioned the US aircraft carrier and prepared to attack it.
This move by Chinese warplanes successfully shocked the U.S. Navy, and the previous arrogance and arrogance no longer existed.
After reporting the situation to the headquarters in the waters of China's Yellow Sea, the "Little Eagle" quickly withdrew and returned to the ship in accordance with the headquarters' instructions.
Why does the DISPUTE between the United States and North Korea implicate China?
Now it seems that the cause of the Confrontation between China and the United States in the Yellow Sea is not the contradiction between China and the United States, so why is China involved in the end?
First of all, China is adjacent to North Korea, and it is also a "thorn in the eye" and a "thorn in the flesh" of the United States.
From a geographical point of view, China and North Korea are originally close neighbors, and naturally it is "one prospers and one loses."
Not only that, But China and North Korea share the same ideology, so for the United States, the nature is no different, and they are all "enemies" in opposition to it.
Originally, the United States really just wanted to suppress North Korea, but after its navy arrived near the Yellow Sea, its thinking also changed. Since they have all arrived at China's doorstep, why not take this opportunity to also give China a "dismount", so is it not a double win?
Second, the United States wants to take the opportunity to seek revenge on China and smear China's reputation.
In the War of Aid to Korea, the United States was a defeated general under China, and it was only a year before it lost to China.
You must know that at that time, China was still in a situation of poverty and whiteness, and there was a huge disparity with the military strength of the United States, but it achieved the final victory, which was undoubtedly a kind of irony to the United States.
In addition, the reason why China launched a war to aid Korea is not only to defend China's own territory from threats, but also to help its neighbor North Korea.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Americans, China and North Korea are "separated by a hill", which is an obstacle to the realization of the "hegemonic dream".
However, in the 1990s, China has gradually risen, and its strength has also been greatly improved compared to when it was founded.
The US raid this time is not so much to remove China's "obstacle" as it is to test China's bottom line and make preparations for dealing with China in the future.
However, the end of being counterattacked by China's strength and fleeing into the wilderness is not at all within the expectations of the United States.
Originally to find China's obscurity, but in the end it has become the laughing stock of the world, it is really "lifting a stone but dropping your own foot", it is simply stupid!
Whatever the purpose for which the United States created the Yellow Sea dispute, the result is indisputable: the United States has failed.
Since China entered modern times, it has experienced an unknown number of wars, large and small.
In the face of the fiercest enemy, the Chinese people did not have the slightest fear, let alone yield once, and thus expelled those thugs who trampled on China's territory and despised China's dignity. This time in the Yellow Sea incident, China is also the same.
It is not that China is superior, but that the United States underestimates China's determination and confidence in defending the sacred territory of the motherland and safeguarding national sovereignty and dignity.
Today's China is brilliant, powerful, and constantly advancing and developing, and the reason why we can achieve such proud achievements is inseparable from the outstanding faith and unremitting efforts of generations of wisdom Chinese.
All countries in the world today do not believe in the concept of "interest first".
Compared with countries with hegemonism such as the United States, the difference is that China will not use bad means such as "armed violence" to coerce other countries to meet the needs of maximizing its own interests.
In the face of deliberate provocations by the U.S. Navy in the waters of the Yellow Sea, China has also taken the lead in negotiating with it as a "state of etiquette" as a great power.
If it were not for the US military forcing people too much, the Chinese fighters would not have used the for tat method to counter it.
China has always loved peace, but it will not let go of its national dignity and abandon its moral bottom line. Any sinister trick that attempts to provoke and threaten China's national security will not succeed in the end!
