2,500 kilometers south of Hawaii, in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, the "Yuanwang 5" space ocean-going survey ship is cleaving the waves and sailing steadily.
This 25,000-ton giant ship, like a moving sea fortress, shoulders a special mission - to witness the "great power sword" of the Chinese Rocket Force cut through the sky and reach the target.
This is no ordinary training, but a strategic echo that spans more than four decades.
The last time China paid attention to this vast Pacific Ocean was in 1980.
At that time, the DF-5 liquid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile, full of hope and determination of the newborn, flew over a long distance of 9,000 kilometers for the first time, announcing that China had officially entered the intercontinental nuclear strike club.
Forty-four years, in the blink of an eye.
Today's China is no longer the impoverished and destitute it used to be.
Now, standing at a new historical starting point, the Chinese Rocket Force has once again shown its sword in the Pacific Ocean, showing the world a more confident and powerful "muscle".
This time, the protagonist was replaced by the DF-31AG, a land-based mobile solid intercontinental ballistic missile, which not only has a longer range and higher accuracy, but more importantly, it represents a huge leap in China's missile technology from liquid fuel to solid fuel, from silo launch to land-based mobile launch, demonstrating China's strong determination and strong ability to safeguard national security.
The news came out and the world shook.
The United States could not sit still, and the RC-135S reconnaissance plane quickly took off, trying to catch clues about Chinese missiles.
Still, they underestimated the wisdom and determination of the Chinese.
The sound of the east and the west, the darkness of the warehouse, the Chinese rocket force is false and real, so that the United States is completely confused.
The well-planned tracking and monitoring finally ended up in a "bamboo basket for water".
The Japanese are also sour.
United States Japan of small followers in the Asia-Pacific region have been wary of China's military growth.
Japan did not receive advance notice of China's missile test launch, which made Japan feel very hurt.
After all, the two "aircraft carrier killers" of Dongfeng-16 and Dongfeng-21 are enough to make Japan sleep, and now there is an even more powerful Dongfeng-31AG, which makes Japan even more restless.
Of course, the most lively thing is the gang of "Taiwan independence" elements on the other side.
While shouting about the "mainland threat," they also comforted themselves by saying that the "Pave Claw" radar had mastered the dynamics of the test launch throughout the whole process.
This kind of self-deception trick can deceive oneself, but it cannot deceive others.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chinese mainland's test launch of an intercontinental missile this time is not the intention of the drunkard.
Knocking on mountains and shaking tigers and killing chickens and monkeys is to make those forces that "rely on foreign countries to gain self-respect and seek independence by force" to clearly understand the reality and not go further and further down the wrong road.
Who is China's "Dongfeng Express" across the Pacific Ocean?
This is a question that even the Pentagon is pondering.
On the surface, the test was just a routine training exercise, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry also stressed that it was not aimed at any country.
Everyone can see that there is a lot of attention to the timing and method of this test launch.
The test launch was carried out at a time when Sino-US relations were tense.
United States is always stirring up trouble on issues such as Taiwan and the South China Sea, trying to contain China's development.
China's test launch of an intercontinental missile is obviously a demonstration to United States that China has the ability and determination to protect its core interests, and that anyone who wants to challenge China's bottom line will face a resolute response.
Secondly, the test launch method is also different from the past.
Over the past few decades, China has mostly used a high-trajectory approach when testing ICBMs, mainly to test and verify the performance of the technology.
The test launch was a full-course flight test, which is closer to the actual combat environment and more deterrent.
China also generously announced the news of the test launch and shared photos and videos of the test.
This "strategic transparency" is partly intended to demonstrate China's self-confidence in its military prowess, and on the other hand, it is also intended to send a message to the outside world that China is a responsible power that will not use force lightly, but it will not be slaughtered by others.
What is the intention of China's "cultural offensive and military preparation"?
The answer is obvious: China wants to maintain its national security and development environment through a demonstration of strength.
At present, the world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, and China's development is facing unprecedented challenges.
The United States and other Western countries do not want to see China become stronger, so they always find ways to put pressure and restrictions on China.
China must have sufficient strength to protect its interests and win respect in the international community.
China's development of nuclear forces is solely for the sake of self-defense.
China adheres to a nuclear policy of self-defense and will never be the first to use nuclear weapons, nor will it engage in a nuclear arms race with any country.
China's development of nuclear forces is not for the sake of hegemony, but to deal with nuclear threats and maintain world peace.
The test of the ICBM once again demonstrated China's firm will and strong strength in defending national security.
China has the confidence to respond to various challenges and protect its sovereignty, security and development interests.
China is willing to work with other countries to maintain world peace and stability and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
The Yuanwang 5 is still sailing in the Pacific Ocean, and it is not just a test launch, but also a firm step towards the rejuvenation of a country.
China is ready to meet the challenges of the future.
