Dominate South Asia

Although China expressed serious protests, the United States still insisted on going its own way. The Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier formation sailed forward in the wind and waves, with the entire formation leaving streaks of water behind it.

"As a navy, the highest honor is to be the captain of an aircraft carrier." Captain Michael, the captain of the Kitty Hawk, couldn't help but said while standing on the tall bridge, looking at the sea in the distance.

Aircraft carriers are the symbol of American maritime power! Even in the heyday of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union did not dare to confront the American fleet at sea. Now that the Soviet Union has disintegrated, the maritime power of the United States is the largest armed force in the world. No country's military force can stand in front of the Great Maritime Wall of the United States. Get benefits! Even for weak countries, a single aircraft carrier formation can destroy them.

The escorting cruisers and destroyers can launch hundreds of Tomahawk cruise missiles to attack ground targets, and the 80 carrier-based aircraft carried on the aircraft carrier are a formidable and powerful force.

"The Chinese side expressed strong protest against us." Next to him, Colonel Kate, the commander of the Fifth Carrier Air Wing, said: "Under the current circumstances, we choose to pass through the Gulf Strait with a high profile, which may cause It will anger China, and if they are really desperate, we may not be able to react."

The most powerful force of an aircraft carrier is the carrier-based air wing, and as the wing leader, he has a lot of power. Sometimes the captain of the aircraft carrier even has to listen to the wing captain.

As the man who ended up fighting, Colonel Kate expressed his concerns. Unlike before, if the island nation of the United States had more than two aircraft carriers and a large number of land-based fighter jets in Guam and other places, Colonel Kate would not be afraid of anything at all.

But now, the Iran war is in full swing, and the United States has many military forces stationed in East Asia. They have all been mobilized to the Middle East. The US military can dispatch no more than fifty land-based fighter jets in East Asia. This is a very low number. All strategic bombers and attack aircraft have been mobilized to the Middle East.

Although the United States has the upper hand in the battle against Iran, can it completely solve the Iranian problem? Colonel Kate, who has participated in military operations against Iran, is not so optimistic.

"Kate, you only look at the problem from the perspective of military struggle, while the Pentagon and the White House will rise to the strategic level. This is why they are politicians and we are soldiers." Colonel Michael said: "As Soldiers, we just want to obey the orders of our superiors.”

In fact, as an aircraft carrier captain, you also need a wise mind and the skills to deal with various political issues. It was due to political considerations that Colonel Michael felt that this order from the White House had far-reaching implications.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union. The White House must change its attitude towards China and begin to curb China's rise! The Kitty Hawk, as an aircraft carrier stationed in East Asia, will undertake more missions.

"Report, just received news from Washington." At this moment, an intelligence officer said.

"Bring it over." After receiving the information, Colonel Michael opened his eyes wide: "It seems that China's reaction is still very violent. A landing exercise is going to be held, and a ballistic missile attack on surface ships is going to be tested? Kate, you Let’s see, what do you think is the possibility of using ballistic missiles to attack an aircraft carrier?”

After saying that, Colonel Michael's eyes were full of smiles, Hua Xia was crazy. Can you actually come up with such an idea?

"If it's a nuclear warhead, the possibility is at least 50%." Colonel Kate was not happy at all.

Nuclear warhead! You know, China is a country with nuclear weapons. If the ballistic missiles falling from the sky have conventional warheads. Even the last frigate in the aircraft carrier formation cannot be touched, if nuclear weapons are used. The entire fleet would probably be annihilated.

nuclear weapon? Hearing Colonel Kate's words, Captain Michael sneered: "Nuclear weapons are only used as a deterrent! If China really dares to use nuclear warheads to attack our fleet, it will usher in complete destruction!"

If China really threatens with nuclear weapons, its own aircraft carrier formation will still enter through the center line of the Taiwan Strait. At that time, if the other side really uses nuclear bombs to greet them, it will simply want to provoke the most powerful counterattack from the United States. Thousands of nuclear warheads aimed at the Soviet Union during the Cold War would flatten the entire China.

Nuclear weapons are only for deterrence.

Hearing what Captain Michael said, Colonel Kate didn't say much. The truth was very clear, not to mention that China promised not to use nuclear weapons in the first place. However, Colonel Kate felt a little uneasy. This time, his own side made such a serious provocation. Come on, if China is really angered, maybe they will do something crazy.

China, Shanxi.

This is China's main energy-producing area, with rich coal resources buried underground. Since the Yan Xishan era, wealth has been gained by relying on this black gold. Now, the coal here is still supporting the country's construction.

Buried deep underground, where there are coal seams, there will be miners and mining machinery. As time goes by, many mountains have been hollowed out. Many mines that look nothing special from the outside already have other mines. usefulness.

At this time, in an abandoned mine, with a rumbling sound, a Hanyang trailer drove out, pulling a trailer behind it. The cylindrical object on the trailer looked like a boiler. There are many openings.

It was just the dark green camouflage and the military vehicles driving in front and behind that indicated that this was actually a military equipment.

The convoy wound along the mountain road and drove through the mountains. An hour later, it came to a flat ground in the mountains. All the vehicles stopped. Soldiers wearing 92-style military uniforms got off the vehicles and made intensive preparations. On the shoulder straps, there was a yellow five-pointed star pressed on a rocket. The Chinese characters on it clearly read the words "Second Artillery".

The big boiler-like thing was rising slowly. Under the action of the hydraulic cylinder, it gradually rose and finally became vertical.

"Fifteen minutes before launch." A voice shouted: "Prepare to receive satellite signals."

"Determine the coordinates of the launch position and prepare to launch the elements."

Under the orders one by one, the preparations before the launch were carried out in an orderly manner.

At this time, in the eastern sea of ​​Jeju Island, an old fishing boat was sailing at full power with thick smoke. The upper part of the building of this fishing boat had been dismantled and all welded with steel plates. From a distance, the deck of this fishing boat was straight, very much like an aircraft carrier.

Unfortunately, the tonnage was much different. A fishing boat of less than 1,000 tons was already considered relatively large. The black smoke on the top indicated that the diesel engine of this old boat had entered its twilight years.

A helicopter was remotely operated from a distance. This target ship had been changed to remote control and did not need one person to operate it. After all, this was a modified target ship and would be sunk in a while.

The live ammunition shooting of China's anti-ship ballistic missiles against aircraft carriers had begun! In order to simulate as realistically as possible, there were several small fishing boats around this "aircraft carrier" to increase the difficulty of shooting and enhance the authenticity of the exercise.

Moreover, these target ships were not fixed and were flying at maximum speed.

We are close to Nagasaki. From a distance, we can see a US Navy reconnaissance plane flying in the sky, observing China's target shooting test.

Originally, they wanted to send a warship, but they were afraid that the ballistic missile would find the wrong target and blow up their own destroyer, so the Americans still sent a plane to observe.

This test was originally intended to deter the United States, so China did not stop the Americans from observing.

In space, an ocean resource observation satellite is scanning this sea area, accurately capturing this "aircraft carrier formation" and transmitting intelligence back through communication satellites.

"One minute to prepare." The atmosphere at the ballistic missile launch site is already highly tense. As the countdown continues to decrease, all the soldiers hold their breath.

"Launch!" The final order finally came, and the operator pressed the red button.

"Bang." With the sound of compressed air, the huge ballistic missile flew out of the "boiler" and left the ground. This missile, which was born from the Julang-1, also uses the cold launch method.

After flying 20 meters away from the "boiler", a hot flame suddenly emerged from the bottom of the missile. The whole missile seemed to have taken stimulants, accelerating instantly, dragging the flames, and leaping into the sky. The launch was successful!

A few minutes later, the first-stage solid engine that had burned out fell off, and the second-stage solid engine ignited, pushing the missile to continue to accelerate.

In space, the ocean resources satellite was still observing the movements of ships at sea in an orderly manner and continuing to track.

After leaving the dense atmosphere, the liquid secondary injection device of the second-stage engine continuously ejected airflow, pushing itself to change its course, and through the data transmitted by the synchronous satellite, it carried out the first orbit change flight.

After flying in outer space for a minute, the warhead of the ballistic missile separated, drew a beautiful trajectory, and re-entered the atmosphere!

This warhead, unlike ordinary ballistic missile warheads, is equipped with control wings, that is, a control system that can cooperate with the maneuverable reentry technology, including pneumatic rudders and steering gear systems. At the same time, the front end of the warhead also has a radar system. This also increases the weight of the warhead. Of the 600-kilogram warhead, 200 kilograms are these auxiliary equipment, including the weight of the attached cooling system.

Thanks to the development of electronic technology, these auxiliary equipment are already very light. (To be continued ~^~)
