Guam has always been an important military base for the U.S. military in the Asia-Pacific region. Recently, in addition to frequent harassment in the Chinese waters, the U.S. military also wants to strengthen its deployment in Guam? This news caused an uproar at home and abroad, and Guam has a special geographical location. Once a conflict really occurs, the US military can strategically attack or withdraw China at any time. So what exactly does the US military want to deploy in Guam? The US Admiral told the truth.
According to a recent report by the Global Times, the United States is considering deploying a land-based "Aegis" system in Guam, using the pretext of defending against "Chinese attacks." Once the U.S. military is deployed successfully, in the event of a military conflict between the U.S. military and China, U.S. bombers can approach China from 关岛基地 in the first place. The U.S. military really has a good calculation! But can the facts be as the US military wants?

Things are far from simple. You know, first of all, theoretically speaking, American bombers can easily cross a distance of 2,900 kilometers from Guam and approach China's land. But don’t forget that our army’s Dongfeng-26 missile has a range of more than 4000 kilometers and can attack the island directly from the mainland, so it is called the "Guam Killer." The US military is too simplistic. Moreover, Air Force H-6 bombers carrying Long Sword 10 cruise missiles can easily attack the island; naval ships can also use Eagle Strike 18 missiles to attack US military bases in Guam at a distance of 500 kilometers.

Secondly, even if the US military does deploy a land-based Aegis system, its performance and protection effects are questionable. The reason why the U.S. military insisted on deploying Aegis on Guam was that U.S. Navy Admiral Philip Davidson stated that if friction occurs, China’s cruise missiles and ballistic missiles may “clear” bombers and other fighters deployed at the U.S. Air Force Base in Guam. In order to avoid this situation, the US military still needs to deploy the land-based Aegis air defense and anti-missile system on Guam.

Many people worry that after the US military officially deploys Aegis, the US military will no longer be afraid of China’s east wind, and then “Guam” Maybe the "killer" has nothing to do with it? But don't worry too much. You should know that since the Dongfeng missile entered service, the US military has retreated in the Western Pacific! Now we can only bring the Guam base as a frontier. What makes the US military desperate is that the Guam base, which has high hopes, is still shrouded in the shadow of the epidemic. So far, the number of confirmed cases at the U.S. military base in Guam has increased to 37, and the Okinawa base, Kuwait base and other U.S. military bases have broken out the epidemic. The US military originally had many deployments, but under the influence of the epidemic, these may have to be delayed again and again. We only need to worry about one thing: be careful of the US military, take risks, and suddenly do something crazy! As Yang Chengjun expert said: We must be prepared for war. We are now during a live ammunition exercise by a certain Chinese military at sea. If the US military dares to come, we can justifiably "mistakenly strike" as a warning! Let the American army die this heart! (Crossing the river)
