On May 24, Typhoon "Mawa" swept over the island in the Pacific Ocean - Guam, this "unsinkable mothership" in the mouth of the United States, the surface was torn to pieces after the typhoon raged, but in the face of this natural disaster, the first reaction of the United States was to blame China.
Typhoon Mawa swept through Guam
On May 20, local meteorological observatories announced that they had observed a typhoon from the northwest Pacific Ocean and named it "Mawa" according to the rules, which refers to a kind of rose in Malaysia, but "Mawa" did not bring a good blessing, but a disaster.
After being observed, Typhoon "Mawa" swept all the way towards Guam, and landed on Guam on the night of the 24th, and for a time the island known as the "unsinkable aircraft carrier" was full of storms and lightning, and the island's power supply system was immediately interrupted.
However, compared with the loss of the island's residents, many people are more concerned about what happened to the US military base built on the island?
Soon after, the American satellite sent relevant photos, compared with the neatness before the typhoon, the base after the "Mawa" passed by looked extremely miserable, the original construction of several giant radars suffered serious losses, from the photos can be seen that the radome is broken all over the ground, basically no maintenance value.
In addition, people have also shared their environment, some of the videos show that many buildings in the base have been damaged, many plants around have been cleaned by the typhoon, and drones deployed around the area have also flown to Japan to avoid the typhoon, although the official report said that there were no casualties, but many people said that the buildings were in trouble, how could people survive.
In addition, due to the impact of the typhoon, various equipment on Guam was seriously damaged, and even sending aircraft became a problem, because the runway was full of debris brought by the typhoon. Relevant people predict that according to the current situation, Guam will not have any combat capability in the next 10 and a half days.
Seeing the tragic situation of this "unsinkable aircraft carrier", Biden also hurriedly announced in order to stabilize people's hearts that the mainland was ready to provide assistance to Guam, but what the United States did not expect was that after the "Mawa" wreaked havoc on Guam, it directly turned around the Taiwan island and aimed its forward direction at Japan, and the military base arranged by the US military in the Ryukyu Islands was also on the route of movement of the typhoon.
Perhaps it is such a coincidence that makes many Americans complain on the Internet that this "Mawa" will not be the result of China's experimental meteorological weapons.
The United States first tested meteorological weapons
Although the concept of meteorological weapons sounds very mysterious, it has actually been used in life, such as artificial rainfall used in many countries, but these are limited to changing people's livelihood, and the only real means of changing weather for war may be the confrontation between the United States and Vietnam.
When the United States was about to attack Vietnam, in order to combat the combat power of Vietnamese soldiers, the American authorities conducted a covert operation, which many later called Operation Popeye. Between 1967 and 1972, the United States had to draw troops from Guam each year, spending $3 million on this classified mission.
The main component of this mission is to send fighter jets and transport aircraft during Vietnam's flood season to spread silver iodide in the clouds to directly stimulate precipitation.
During this period, Vietnam's already frequent precipitation became more serious, various facilities in many areas were washed away and damaged by floods, and the "Ho Chi Minh Trail" that originally transported supplies to Vietnamese soldiers was also reduced again and again because of the drop of cement, and the transportation efficiency was reduced again and again, and finally from 9,000 vehicles of materials per week to 900 vehicles, which had a very serious impact on the war situation.
However, what is more terrifying is that no one noticed this incident at the time, until 1972, when an American reporter broke the news, the United States officially ended the operation, so in 1976, the real end, the United Nations banned the use of meteorological weapons by all countries.
Although the "Popeye" operation is too cost-effective and takes a long time, the United States still respects it, after all, its effectiveness and concealment really have nothing to say, and this makes meteorological weapons more mysterious in the eyes of countries.
Since then, rumors of various meteorological weapons have been everywhere, such as Germany using fogging agents to protect military bases in World War II, or the drought in Mexico caused by Operation Thunderstorm in the United States, or the "weather war" between the United States and the Soviet Union in Cuba, or the United States diverting hurricanes to Honduras, or the Iranian leader accusing Western countries of using meteorological weapons to make Iran dry in 2012.
But these rumors have no tangible evidence, so so far only the United States "Popeye Action" can be verified, but perhaps it is precisely because the United States has really used meteorological weapons in history that many Americans think that the trajectory of the "Mawa" has Chinese interference, after all, it has always been the habit of some Western countries to treat people with themselves.
In addition to many American netizens taking this opportunity to make big accusations against China, Japan also took this opportunity to make a big fuss.
Japan made a big fuss with the help of the typhoon
At a previous meeting between China and Japan, a Chinese spokesman's remarks on the issue of "Ryukyu independence" silenced the Japanese spokesman on the other side, so perhaps resentful, on May 29, seven Japanese ships entered the Taiwan Strait, and they raised the banner of avoiding Typhoon Mawa.
However, until the 30th, they still did not sail out of the strait, which caused strong dissatisfaction in China, because these seven ships are all armed law enforcement ships, in a sense they are warships, and as law enforcement ships performing official duties, how can they not learn about the future weather before setting sail?
Therefore, many people suspect that this is Japan's struggle because of the "Ryukyu issue" and a test for China, but in any case, such careful thinking is not on the table after all.
epilogue
From the events caused by Typhoon "Mawa", it can be seen that the world is not safe, in the face of many challenges from various countries, China must also continue to research on meteorology-related science and technology, but not to use it as a weapon, but as a technology to improve people's livelihood and a means of counterattack, after all, despite the call of the United Nations, but the United States-led Western countries have never relaxed their research on meteorological weapons.
If there really is a day, with the naming habit of Chinese, they may be called the Four Seas Dragon King, Lei Gong Dian Mother or Wind and Rain Master.
