    In Fang Shijie's surprised eyes, the Japanese country not only made a fuss in the country, but even sent two warships to hang around the four northern islands, seeming to want to use force to coerce Fang Shijie into submission.

    Fang Shijie couldn't figure out where the Japanese people's confidence came from. Do they want to compete with his powerful naval warships with just a few broken ships?

    Even now, Fang Shijie has no intention of taking action against the Japanese country. Just like a three-year-old child holding a toy pistol in front of a soldier, Fang Shijie really has no need to vent his anger on them.

    But what annoyed Fang Shijie was that after Japan saw that their provocative actions received no response, they actually announced that they would hold live-fire military exercises near the four northern islands.

    "Grandma! The Japanese country is indeed a country that pushes beyond its limits. You guys deserve a beating!" Fang Shijie had already had the idea of ??taking action at this time.

    Of course, Fang Shijie would not think that the Japanese were crazy. There must be deep reasons behind their actions.  He immediately launched an investigation into the matter to see if the Japanese country would show such a domineering attitude.

    The Planet Guardian satellite system is very complex. It monitors a wide range and has a huge amount of information. Although it has a crisis warning system, if the crisis does not reach a certain level, it will not provide comprehensive warnings. Otherwise, Fang Shijie would  Just looking at these trivial things makes me busy every day.

    Fang Shijie immediately began to check the development of Japanese affairs, but he did not see a significant increase in the Japanese military strength.  Although Japan had just taken over two Burke-class destroyers and four outdated Perry-class frigates, these two types of warships were beaten to pieces by Fang Shijie many times, so it was not a concern at all.  This may also be the reason why the Planet Guardian system did not send an early warning to Fang Shijie.

    However, when Fang Shijie was investigating the Japanese incident, he discovered some anomalies about the Americans.

    Since the Planet Guardian system has not yet fully covered the world, and the United States is in a semi-blind spot, and Fang Shijie is busy on the Soviet battlefield these days, he lacks a certain degree of understanding of the recent military developments of the United States.  Even so.  Fang Shijie still learned about several surprising changes in the United States from its side.

    The most eye-catching thing is the two "Zumwalt" class destroyers recently launched by the United States.

    The "Zumwalt" class destroyer is almost a replica of Fang Shijie's cruiser. Whether it is the island-shaped building or the weapons equipped on it, it is trying to get closer to Fang Shijie's cruiser.

    First of all, in terms of appearance, the "Zumwalt" class destroyer is also a large surface ship with extremely strong stealth capabilities. Its superstructure is slightly different from Fang Shijie's circular structure, that is, it changes from the oval shape of Fang Shijie's cruiser to a trapezoid.  .

    Although the appearance is limited by the design level.  The "Zumwalt" class destroyer is still a few levels behind Fang Shijie's cruiser, but for such a large destroyer, it has almost reached the pinnacle of shipbuilding levels in the world today.

    In addition, what surprised Fang Shijie the most was that the two "Zumwalt" destroyers were not only equipped with a large number of ground, sea, and air attack missiles, they were also equipped with dozens of electromagnetic rail guns!

    "What a resemblance! You, Ma, are just like me!" Fang Shijie felt a little in awe of the powerful military industry of the United States.

    Of course, the construction of this American destroyer has probably started long ago, but it is undeniable that it is in the construction stage.  It is very likely that it borrowed many design concepts from Fang Shijie's cruiser and continuously improved it during the production process to become what it looks like now.

    Not to mention other things, at least it is equipped with dozens of electromagnetic rail guns.  It must have been inspired by Fang Shijie's cruiser, so a large number of them were equipped on this battleship.

    The "Zumwalt" class destroyer has a displacement of 15,000 tons, and Fang Shijie's cruiser, judging from its appearance.  It's about 15,000 tons, which is almost the same.

    It is a destroyer in name, but actually in terms of tonnage.  The "Zumwalt" class destroyer is already considered a cruiser.

    The surface firepower and anti-ship capabilities of this type of destroyer are three times higher than their previous "Ticonderoga" class cruisers, and its air defense capabilities are more than ten times greater than the latter's. This shows that its  The fighting power is terrifying.

    After Fang Shijie saw the latest American destroyer with a touch of science fiction, he somewhat understood why Japan suddenly became confident.

    Although the electromagnetic railgun on Fang Shijie's cruiser has shown its power in many battles, due to its small caliber, its range is only more than 100 kilometers. However, the railgun on the American "Zumwalt" class destroyer has a range of  Three hundred and seventy? kilometers, from this point of view, it seems that the American warship is more advanced.

    However, Fang Shijie doesn't think so, because his cruiser not only has small-caliber rails, but also large-caliber rail guns, and its rail gun's firing rate far exceeds the Soviet Union's rail gun. This is not true.  Lost to the new destroyer of the United States.

    However, Fang Shijie did not dare to take this type of American destroyer lightly. At least within the effective range of the electromagnetic railgun on the "Zhu Ma Walter" destroyer, his warship did not have very good defense means.  Electromagnetic railgun projectiles have the characteristics of ultra-high speed. If its missiles are to be intercepted, the success rate is very low.

    What makes Fang Shijie even more alarmed is that with the launch of these two new destroyers in the United States, the United States has quietly started production of two more similar destroyers. It may not be long before such advanced destroyers are everywhere on the world's seas.  Figure of battleship.  By then, Fang Shijie's fleet will have a powerful opponent, which is not good news for Fang Shijie.

    Fang Shijie's worries don't stop there. From this type of American destroyer, he saw the United States' strong military scientific research capabilities and production capabilities. This is what Fang Shijie is most worried about.

    Since the United States can equip their new destroyers with a large number of rail guns, they can also modify the weapons on the warships in service into more powerful electromagnetic rails.  In this way, the interception system on Fang Shijie's battleship will definitely face great challenges.

    However, Fang Shijie also believes that it is unrealistic for the United States to equip a large number of this new type of destroyer, because it is said that the cost of a single ship of their "Zumwalt" class destroyer exceeds 3.5 billion meters. For such an expensive warship, even if  Even the United States cannot bear it.  Although as production increases and technology matures, the price of this type of destroyer will eventually be reduced to a certain extent, which may far exceed the cost of an ordinary cruiser. Therefore, Fang Shijie feels that it is impossible for the United States to equip the Burke-class destroyer like it does.  Dozens of ships came out.

    New equipment from the United States appears one after another. Maybe this is the reason why the Japanese are shaking up again. As loyal lackeys of the Americans, the Japanese are likely to import various new equipment from the United States in the future. They think they have the ability to fight against Fang Shijie, so  Then he started to show his teeth and claws again.

    When Fang Shijie discovered that the new American warship was launched, he also noticed one thing from all aspects, that is, Japan took the initiative to stir up trouble with Fang Shijie, and there was still the shadow of the American people behind it.

    Although the two "Zumwalt" class destroyers have not been launched for a long time, they have already conducted several secret test launches. Fang Shijie suspects that they already have a certain degree of combat effectiveness.  With Fang Shijie as a powder keg, it is impossible for the United States to step-by-step let these two warships enter the battle order after running-in drills for several months or even years.

    According to the intelligence collected by the Planet Guardian system, Fang Shijie realized that the two new American warships would depart from the mainland for Hawaii in a week. This American military operation reminded him of the USS Ford aircraft carrier that had just withdrawn to Hawaii.  There may be unknown connections between them.

    ?????????????? At a time when the United States was experiencing frequent changes, the Japanese country blatantly provoked chaos in the four northern islands. How could there be no mystery in it?

    Faced with this new situation, Fang Shijie did not dare to be careless. He immediately ordered the cruiser "Weiyuan" and the amphibious assault ship "Dumalan" located in the Sea of ??Okhotsk to move toward the four northern islands to attack the upcoming Japanese invasion.  Military exercises are closely monitored.

    Although the four northern islands are not big, there are already thousands of Chinese immigrants on them. Even if it is just to ensure the safety of the civilians above, Fang Shijie has to be on strict guard.

    Since the devastating blow to the Japanese naval and air forces, the Japanese people have been depressed. The once most powerful East Asian empire suddenly fell into the clouds and became a laughing stock of the entire world. This made the proud Japanese people feel extremely ashamed.  But in the past few days, the faces of the Japanese people have finally improved a little, and many people have recovered from their sluggish state.

    "My powerful Japanese country has finally stood up!"

    "Our naval forces are already on the road to regaining the four northern islands!"

    "If the great hero understands current affairs, he'd better return our four northern islands obediently! Otherwise, what awaits them will be our merciless military attack!"

    In fact, if the Japanese people were a little more sober, they should have seen that the Japanese country was just a chess piece on the chessboard between the heroes and the United States. It could not dominate the battle, and it could not play a decisive role.  However, the proud Japanese people now need to save their lost face so much that many people are carried away by the fanaticism and think that they are the Japanese country of a hundred years ago and that they still have the strongest army in Asia.  A large and invincible navy.

    "Although a great heroHe is very powerful, but he is now facing two powerful enemies, the United States and the Soviet Union, and may become a flash in the pan at any time, and our Japanese country is the death sickle that sends him to hell!  "The Japanese people are already gearing up.
