Great warships

Chapter 1285 Red Flag-07 Exercise
"What do you mean I used the bus illegally? I didn't!" Nitcook was very angry after receiving the news on the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier: "Although I drove the bus home, I paid for the fuel myself!"

"Then you are still using the bus illegally, even if you filled it with fuel yourself, because it was bought with taxpayers' money."

"Damn it, you can go check in the fleet and see which officer doesn't do this."

"We don't know. We are only responsible for investigating your situation. Please cooperate."

Nitcook sneered, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext!" This time the British Navy made a fool of itself and lost face, so someone must be blamed, and then, the higher-ups chose him to take the blame.

He does have leadership responsibilities, but these people are afraid of being embarrassed if they speak out, so they find other reasons to remove him from his position. Humph, do they think they can get away with it this way?

Someone will definitely dig out this news and make use of it to tear off Britain's fig leaf once again. Instead of doing this, it is better to admit it openly. What's there to be ashamed of?

Over the years, domestic industrial development has been slow and stagnant, while the East has been making great strides forward. Therefore, it is normal to be surpassed by the Orientals.

They can tolerate being surpassed by France and Germany, and can even willingly follow the Americans as their younger brothers, but they cannot accept being surpassed by the Orientals.

So, just wait and see to continue making a fool of yourself. As for myself... I despise them!
The Queen and Type 45 destroyers had to embark on the return journey early, and only a few other escort warships stayed behind. They were waiting for the big guy to arrive, and they also wanted to make their presence felt!
The huge ship with a displacement of 100,000 tons was dispatched in full force, four of them! The flat deck could launch a large number of carrier-based aircraft, which could make the colonel and his country feel the end of the world!

They didn't know that the colonel was also waiting for them at this moment. The colonel wanted to be a hero, the greatest hero in the world!

"Humph, we didn't hurt them last time. This time, we'll let them know who is the master here!" The colonel looked at the pilots in front of him and said, "Boys, last time they sent out stealth bombers to bomb our capital and base. This time, we'll let them know that blood debts must be paid with blood!"

"Yes!" Everyone was full of confidence. With advanced Eastern weapons and equipment, they would definitely win this war!
On the island, looking at the huge fleet, Brian had an ominous premonition for some reason.

"What's the reaction of the dog owner?"

"The dog tycoon announced that he would lead his main fleet and all stealth aircraft to the east to participate in the Red Flag 07 military exercise."

Brian nodded: "It seems that he is avoiding suspicion and is afraid of us."

The one closest to the colonel is Mr. Gou, who also has a large number of stealth aircraft. If a conflict really breaks out, if a new stealth aircraft appears, is it sent by Mr. Gou?

It would be hard to explain what happened at that time, so Mr. Gou simply stayed away from the trouble and went to participate in the military exercise.

"In addition to the dog-rich country's aircraft carrier, there are also two amphibious assault ships from the Pyramid Country, and the Jubail-class destroyer, with a total displacement of 150,000 tons."

Brian nodded. "It seems that they have gone all out. If they are leaving, they should leave completely. Even the Pyramid Nation has moved all its stealth aircraft away. This way, there will be no one nearby to influence us."

"Brian, I'm still a little uneasy." Austin said, "Will there be any problems with so many warships going to the East to participate in the exercise? After all, there have been some conflicts between fishing boats and law enforcement ships there recently."

"What's the big deal?" Brian said, "Conflicts have always existed there. They often protest, but what's the point of protesting? Protesting can't solve the problem."

"Oh." Austin nodded: "That's true. It seems I was overthinking it."

"In recent years, stealth aircraft have spread so widely that even countries like the Rainbow Nation have purchased a batch. Oh, and there's also Guinea, which has also been operating stealth aircraft for a long time. They..."

"Guinea is far away from us, and their aircraft carriers..." Brian suddenly thought of something: "By the way, what about the Guinean Navy? What are they doing?"

"I don't know. This needs to be investigated."

Soon, the intelligence officer came over in a hurry: "The Guinea aircraft carrier and several escorting warships went to the East to participate in the exercise together."

The Guinea has also gone? In this way, the total tonnage of the ships participating in the exercises in the East has increased to more than 200,000 tons. Isn't this... a bit too much?

“What about the Rainbow Nation and Algeria?”

"Their aircraft carrier formations also went to the East to participate in the exercise together."

"What about the football nation?"

"I went too."

If we add the tonnage of these countries together, the total tonnage would probably exceed 300,000 tons!

What do Orientals want to do?
"If the African aircraft carriers gathered in the East to participate in the exercise because they were afraid of our misunderstanding, then that's fine, but why did the football nation also go there?"

"It should be to join in the fun. We made a special investigation and found that Turkey also wanted to send a fleet over, but was rejected by the East. They said that Turkey's warships were not produced by the East and were not equipped with the East's data link, so they could not be commanded."

The Turkic Kingdom is also trying to please both sides. Now seeing that the influence of the East is growing stronger, it also wants to curry favor with the East. Unfortunately, the Orientals ignore them. If there is a reason, it must be related to the difficulties that Varyag encountered when passing through the Turkic Strait.

The total tonnage of those that have gone in from outside is over 003 tons. Add to that what the East has on hand, and even if, according to what the East says, only one aircraft carrier is dispatched, plus other escort warships, the total tonnage will exceed tons!

What level of exercise will this be?

"Don't worry about what's going on there. We can't interfere now. Right now, getting rid of the colonel is our most important task!"

"Yes. This damn colonel only had two stealth aircraft, but he caused us such a huge loss. Fortunately, they no longer have any stealth aircraft. Mingzhou Group is quite considerate and will no longer execute the contract with the colonel according to our request. Otherwise, we will face a greater threat."

"Ah."

East.

Qin Tao warmly welcomed visitor after visitor.

"Mr. Salman, we are deeply touched that you have sent all your main warships here."

"Of course. If you want to hold a military exercise, we must strongly support it. Anyway, we only need frigate-class warships to patrol. We also do this to avoid suspicion. After all, what the colonel did this time was a bit crazy."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that after he got our stealth aircraft, he would do such a crazy thing. But until now, the colonel has not admitted it, so it is not convenient for us to discuss it. However, the Golden Canyon Operation really scared him. Now that he has a big toy in his hand, it is normal for him to take revenge."

"Recently, conflicts have started to arise here again. We came here to give you support. Humph, those jumping clowns should be dealt with as soon as possible!"

Hearing Salman say this, Qin Tao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sir Salman, do you also think we should take action?"

"Yes, of course we should do it!" Salman said, "You Dongfang are already strong enough to do whatever you should do. Mr. Qin, even if you really do it, we will stand firmly by your side. After all, this is your own family's business, and no one else can interfere!"

“Thank you, Mr. Salman, for your understanding!”

"Well, the food at your Mingzhou Guesthouse is good. Since I'm here this time, I'm going to stay a few more days."

"Okay, of course, we will definitely serve you the best food!"

After settling Salman, Qin Tao received Americo.

"Mr. Americo, welcome to the East."

"Well, the fleet is still behind and will have to sail for a few more days. But I have nothing to do, so I came here first. I always feel a little uneasy over there. The colonel has been making too much noise recently. Could it be that he can defeat the entire fleet of the opponent by himself?"

"Do you want him to win or lose?"

"Ying, I was imprisoned and almost killed. It was those guys who were causing trouble. It would be best if they all died at the hands of the colonel!"

Americo spoke of this with gnashing teeth.

Qin Tao smiled and said, "Those guys have been causing trouble all over the world and have done a lot of bad things. It would be best if they were all buried in a bathtub in the Mediterranean Sea."

Now Qin Tao is even a little shaken. Should he change his mind and let the colonel defeat all the opponents?

However, forget about it. The colonel probably doesn't have that ability. If he wants to take down the most powerful navy in the world with just two stealth planes, that's just wishful thinking.

The colonel was destined to be sacrificed, but sacrificing the colonel could be exchanged for some agreements that were in line with their own interests, which would naturally be the best.

"In fact, we have so many planes on hand, we can definitely help the colonel."

"No, no, we can't do that." Qin Tao quickly shook his head: "We need to realize that war is terrible and peace is precious. We must cherish this hard-earned peaceful environment. How can we shout about fighting and killing all day long?"

"Yes, Mr. Qin is right."

Xu Zhengyang on the side did not say anything. Mr. Qin, you are educating them so patiently now, but after a while, they will find out that you say one thing and do another. How are you going to make it up to them?
Qin Tao didn't care and chatted with Americo for a while. When he was about to say a few more words, a new friend came.

"Qin, you guys are really showing off this time. Previous Rim of the Pacific military exercises didn't have this much fanfare!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Qin Tao turned around with a smile and said, "Nikola, why are you here too?"

"Of course I'm coming. How can I miss such a good opportunity? By the way, our two amphibious assault ships are on the Arctic route and will arrive in about a week." "It's good that you can come. We thought you wouldn't come all the way here."

"Since we are going to show our support, we have to show our support in a big way. Everyone else is here, so how can we be left out? These two amphibious assault ships have good performance, but unfortunately there are no suitable carrier-based aircraft. Our country is still unwilling to purchase your vertical take-off and landing fighters. Even our Kuznetsov can only use the MiG-29K for the time being."

If it weren't for Qin Tao's help, the Russians' two amphibious assault ship projects would have been ruined by the French. But now it's different. Their two warships have become the main force, even more popular than the Kuznetsov!
It’s a pity that they cannot be equipped with vertical take-off and landing fighter jets because they don’t have them on hand. They can only be equipped with some helicopters at present. However, it would be quite cool if these two warships came over.

What's more, they soon had more than just these two warships.

"When these two amphibious assault ships arrive, we will also send the Pacific Fleet in the Far East to participate." Nicholas said: "We will dispatch a Type 1144 cruiser, a Type 1164, and a few Type 956 ships. We can't be worse than the big dog owners."

The dog tycoon only brought one aircraft carrier, but fortunately it was accompanied by a large number of Aegis warships, which was quite cool.

Russia is not willing to lag behind. Its two amphibious assault ships are already very powerful. If they are equipped with other supporting warships, they will be even more powerful.

Type 1144 is the Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser. At the beginning, the Mingzhou Group helped to improve it to conventional power and gave it new vitality. Type 1164 is the Slava-class cruiser, which has always been the main warship of Russia. Together with the Sovremenny-class, the total displacement of the entire fleet is over tons, which is absolutely unprecedented.

The arrival of this fleet made this exercise the largest exercise in the Pacific, with a total tonnage of over 600,000 tons!
"Thank you."

Nicholas nodded. "Of course. Without your support, our navy might only have a few Type 956s left, and the rest would be grounded. Now that you are organizing this exercise, of course we have to come. Even if you want to do something else, we will fully support you."

"Ah."

Those with slow thinking may not know what will happen here, but many people who come to participate already have a premonition.

In the Mediterranean Sea, on an island of one of the four flat-panel super battleships.

"What did you say?" Brian's eyes widened. "The big Mao fleet is going to participate too?"

"Yes." Austin said, "We all missed the Big Mao. After all, we didn't see any unusual movements from Big Mao before. Until recently, when we were monitoring the Arctic route, we found two amphibious assault ships heading east. So, these two ships must be going to participate in the Red Flag-07 military exercise."

"Something's wrong, something's wrong, this is too big!" Brian said, "More than 600,000 tons of warships gathered in that sea area. Even we can't do that. What do they want to do?"

"Yes, we also feel something is wrong. Currently, they are analyzing whether they will do something more outrageous." Austin said: "If they really do it..."

"Then what do we do?"

"It seems that we have no other options." Austin said, "After all, those warships gathered together are too powerful. Even if we gather all the nearby forces together, we still can't deal with them."

Just two J-31s caused them to suffer a great loss. The others were not fools, so who would dare to get into trouble?

What does a fleet of more than 600,000 tons mean?
The British fleet has already retreated, and the remaining main warships that can be deployed will not exceed 50,000 tons in total. France has aircraft carriers, which are somewhat better, reaching a scale of 100,000 tons. Other countries are not worth mentioning, they are all weak.

Even the island nation's navy cannot compete with it. Although the total tonnage of the island nation's navy's warships can reach 35 tons and the tonnage of its main warships can exceed tons, it has no aircraft carriers. Those amphibious assault ships are still waiting for the F-. Now it seems that no one knows how long they will have to wait.

There is no power nearby that can stop the Orientals, they can do whatever they want!
At this moment, suddenly, with a bang, the door was pushed open.

"Report! We have obtained accurate intelligence!"

"What information?"

"Last time, half an hour before our bomber dropped its bomb, all the planes at the target airport had already taken off. The fighter plane that shot down our bomber took off from this airport, and it might even be the J-31A!"

The island suddenly became quiet. After a deathly silence, Brian spoke: "Quick, order the fleet to disperse immediately. All Aegis warships turn on their air defense radars. All Phalanx systems load ammunition..."

As he spoke, he looked at the dark night sky outside. Will those scary guys come again?
"Also, release all the fighter planes on the deck and fly them to the nearby land!"

Faced with the attack of cluster bombs, the solution they could think of was surprisingly the same as that of the British: cluster bombs could not destroy their decks, but they could set fire to the planes on the decks.

In this case, why not leave any planes on the deck? As long as there are no planes on the deck, it will not be blown up.

This will reduce their attack power by half. After all, they usually only put the aircraft responsible for maintenance into the hangar, and other aircraft will stay on the deck for easy deployment at any time.

However, having your attack power reduced by half is better than being killed.

I originally thought that the other party no longer had any stealth aircraft, but it turned out to be fake. The last time the bombers came, they were in vain!

Fortunately, we got the intelligence that allowed them to deal with it.

Every large ship with a flat deck was tense. The deck was filled with steam and plane after plane took off. They had never been so nervous before, but now, they had only one thought in their minds: take off quickly!

As the planes continued to take off, the speed of the big guy on the flat deck continued to decrease.

"The steam pressure has dropped to its limit!"

Speaking of steam catapults, although this thing allows fighter planes to take off smoothly, it also has defects. Each take-off consumes a large amount of steam, and if the boiler is not produced in time, the speed of the warship will gradually decrease. Therefore, after launching a wave, you have to take a breath and wait for a while.

"Report, the early warning aircraft has detected a target flying at high speed!"
