Chapter 1738 History Repeats Itself

Two SR-71 Blackbirds roared in the dark sky and flew towards the eastern part of Mindanao. The system operator said by radio: "It is close to the target."

Ivan said, "Got it!"

Bryant said: "Add high voltage to the radar to increase the probability of finding the target."

"Understood!" The two system operators agreed at the same time, set the radar to the long-range search mode, and slowly turned a knob with a green light flashing. The pencil-like slender radar wave was constantly updated to inform the search of the vast area ahead. Radar cannot form enough radar reflection waves to appear on the radar screen. Only targets with large radar reflection areas such as bombers and large and medium-sized transport aircraft can be detected, but for SR-71, these are not problems.Finally, three bright spots appeared on the head-up display. Calculate the actual position, the system operator said excitedly.

"Found the radar reflection, the distance is 320, the azimuth is 176. Our altitude is 8500, and the speed is 400!"

Kobe smiled: "Ivan, lower the altitude to 700, we will conduct low-altitude reconnaissance."

Ivan hesitated and said, "Kobe, it's dangerous to do this."

Kobe said disdainfully: "Ivan, why are you getting less and less courageous? The Philippines doesn't even have a few missiles. You still expect a group of indigenous people who only know about wearing bombs to have missiles?"

Ivan also thinks about it. Indeed, the Philippines not only lacks large-scale military equipment needed for large-scale warfare, the navy lacks large ships, the air force lacks advanced fighter jets, the army lacks tanks and artillery, but also seriously lacks missiles necessary for modern warfare.The entire Philippine Army has no missiles, not even man-portable missiles, except for some old Sidewinder missiles owned by the Air Force.

Thinking of this, Ivan couldn't help laughing at himself: "The altitude has dropped by [-], turn on the reconnaissance equipment."

The two system operators turned on the electronic reconnaissance and photography equipment to view and record the terrain, buildings and personnel activities in this area.

At this time, the 3rd Division of the Western Mindanao Air Force, the runway lights of the air force base suddenly turned on, and 6 md-500 helicopters took off slowly on the apron, and then the iron door in front of the hangar in the distance slowly opened, and 2 helicopters The light attack aircraft was slowly running towards the destination under the traction of the tractor. Under the radiance of the runway lights and navigation lights, the two white missiles under the belly of the aircraft reflected colorful halos. Covered with freshly painted white paint.As soon as the two planes came to a complete stop, the two pilots climbed onto the plane and gave each other an ok gesture. After hearing the order from the command center, the plane began to taxi on the runway with a roar, and then the nose of the plane tilted sharply. The fuselage lifted off the ground and disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye.

A middle-aged man in his 40s and wearing a military uniform stood in front of the huge French windows of the command tower and sighed as he watched the disappearing fighter jets.

"Elmer, do you think it's right or wrong for us to do this?"

Elmer is the chief of staff of the third division of the Air Force and the number two in the third division. When he heard the middle-aged man's words, he didn't know how to answer. After a while, he said, "Mr. Nagra, I don't know whether it is right or not. Wrong, but I know that from the cabinet to local governments, corruption has fallen to a very serious level. And more officials win elections by buying votes, cheating, and cheating on votes, and enter government departments. These people are generally not of high quality. The only purpose of them entering the government is to corrupt, earn money, and live a life of luxury, and our people, there are still many people living below the poverty line. If this situation continues to develop, I really can't see it Where is the future of our country."

Nagra's eyes showed deep sorrow: "Yes, it's time to break all this. The continuous growth of various anti-government armed forces also proves that the people have been disappointed with our government and dissatisfied with us. If this continues, when more people turn this dissatisfaction into anger, their only way to vent is riots, and the entire Philippines will be in turmoil, and even civil war will break out, and it will really be over by then. "

Elmer took out a cigar from his pocket, but did not light it, and said softly, "Mr. Nagra, do you feel that history is repeating itself?"

Nagra was taken aback for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Elmer's words.After World War II, the Philippines was once the wealthiest country in Southeast Asia.However, over the past few decades, the economic development of the Philippines has stagnated, social unrest has continued one after another, and the gap between the rich and the poor has widened. One of the important reasons is the rampant corruption.When President Manuel at the time was a member of Congress, he had the nickname of Mr. Ten Percent, which meant that he would charge a [-] percent kickback if he wanted to do business with him.Later in the presidential palace, Manuel and his wife Immel extorted businessmen, embezzled public funds, stole the treasury, and wantonly embezzled state property.

In order to maintain the imperial rule, Manuel acted in cronyism, and his family business also took the opportunity to amass a lot of money.Monopolized 90.00% of the market in various industries across the country, and received huge government subsidies after losses.During the 20 years of his reign, Manuel’s entire family and his subordinates transferred as much as US$200 billion of property abroad, causing the Philippines, a debt-free country, to bear as much as US$270 billion in foreign debts, and 500% of the 70.00 million Filipinos were impoverished Down and out.

In September [-], Manuel announced the implementation of military control throughout the country, prohibiting assemblies, demonstrations, and strikes. A large number of politicians, journalists, and students who opposed him were arrested, and a decade-long military control began.In the past ten years, the entire Philippines has been in turmoil, and the people are in dire straits.Until the re-election of the National Assembly in [-], the opposition party won one-third of all the seats in one fell swoop, and the opposition team began to grow.In order to rebuild the legitimacy of his own rule, Manuel decided to hold a presidential election one year in advance.During the election process, Manuel relied on the propaganda advantage of the state apparatus to control the election, and many ballots were tampered with and a large number of them were invalidated.In the end, Manuel won by a huge margin, but the incident triggered strong condemnation at home and abroad. The US Senate and House of Representatives passed a resolution asking the government to suspend aid to Manuel.Many people in the Philippines immediately issued a statement boycotting the election results, calling on people from all walks of life to hold strike demonstrations.

Millions of Filipinos took to the streets to demonstrate against Manuel's dictatorship.Several high-ranking military officials launched a mutiny, and Manuel hurriedly sent troops to suppress it, but was blocked by hundreds of thousands of people, and the government troops began to defect en masse. 25% of the 80.00 troops have joined the mutiny.Among the various government agencies and departments, 90.00% of the people announced their separation from the Manuel government, and the Philippine diplomatic envoys to various countries in the world have declared that they will no longer represent the Manuel regime.The U.S. government confirmed that the Manuel era is over and sent him a statement demanding his resignation.Protesters surrounded the presidential palace that day, and when the army defected and all the relatives left, Manuel took a US military helicopter and left for Hawaii. So far, the Manuel regime ended, but the price paid by the Philippines was too great. The turmoil of more than ten years made the Philippines Become riddled with holes.

Aimer sighed: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Only after the pains can the Philippines usher in a new sky. But although the current situation is evolving to the era of the Manuel regime, I can guarantee that, In the next 20 years, history will definitely repeat itself. But now it is still at the same level as it was then, and many people are still holding on to hope. If we succeed, there is nothing to say, history is written by the winners. If we fail Well, the Aguino regime will definitely not let us go easily, and will definitely attack us with black and white, so that people who don't know the truth will nail us to the rack of shame and be reviled forever."

Nagra nodded, looking out of the window with a somewhat illusory look: "You are right, only the Philippines after the labor pains can usher in a new sky. Then let us join hands and completely overthrow the current political situation. No matter what Regardless of the final result, even if you fail, at least you have worked hard, and you will not regret it."

Dosa and Marcos were chatting, but their eyes kept looking at the night sky, as if they were still looking for the meteor that had just disappeared.

As time passed, Dosa's expression became a little nervous, and Marcos patted him on the shoulder: "As long as they dare to come, let them come and go."

Dossa said softly, "Do you think the CCP's news is accurate?"

Marcos shook his head: "I don't know, but they just owed us a favor, I think the news should be true."

Dosa took a deep breath, then let it out, looking at the men and women who were still singing and dancing around the campfire, although the atmosphere was still so lively, he could clearly feel that everyone was tense and more and more dignified. eyes.

"Hope everything goes well!"

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and on the mountain peaks covered by the jungle, hundreds of anti-aircraft artillery and dozens of 40mm anti-aircraft machine guns were hidden under camouflage, and the thick and black muzzles of the guns were already aimed at the sky.Cannonballs and boxes of thumb-thick bullets were neatly placed there, and an Abu Sayyaf militant was lying under fallen leaves, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

And less than two kilometers away from the base, a tent was set up in a small open space hidden in the dense forest.Outside the tent, a high-power diesel engine was humming. In the forest more than ten meters away, the radars on the three radar stations were slowly turning.

This is the headquarters of Abu Sayyaf. At this time, Abu Sayyaf's eyes were fixed on the radar screen. At about ten o'clock, two looming light spots appeared. A militant sitting in front of the computer shouted excitedly : "The distance is about 200 kilometers, they are coming."

Abu Sayyaf laughed loudly: "The Communist Party of the Philippines did not lie to us. It seems that we made money by handing over the two Chinese to them, otherwise we would be in big trouble. But now..." Abu Sayyaf said, A smirk appeared on his face, "Whether it's the government army or the hateful Yankee, I will let them come and go. Let them know that I am Abu Sayyaf."

In the eastern part of Mindanao, where the mountains are rolling and the valleys are deep, two SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance planes quietly broke in, flying at a low altitude of 700 meters.The advanced electronic reconnaissance and photography equipment on board were not affected by the night, and clearly recorded the activities of the jungle, buildings and personnel on the ground.

At this moment, a system operator chuckled: "We found them, what do you see these yellow-skinned monkeys doing? Are they having a party?"
