Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the South Atlantic, night shrouds this calm sea area, thick fog fills the sea, and visibility is getting lower and lower.  ¡ó¡ý On the Somali Atlantic Fleet command ship, Commander Vice Admiral Lynch is sitting leisurely in the command post of the command ship.  In front of him, the five NATO aircraft carrier battle groups were still stuck around the fleet like dog-skin plaster. They were only less than a thousand kilometers apart. At this distance, they were all within the combat radius of the carrier-based aircraft of both sides.  And the early warning aircraft of both sides have said hello many times. With a radius of 500 kilometers, the carrier-based aircraft of both sides have passed by many times.  The active radars and fire control radars of each ship are all in a silent state, and the phased array radars are also in a semi-resting state.  This kind of situation where chickens and dogs know each other but never interact with each other is the scene that most tests the patience of the commanders of both sides.  For the NATO fleet, what they have to do now is to wait for the order to attack, or give up the attack and prepare to return.  For Lynch, he is now waiting for NATO to show an offensive posture.  At this time, on the decks of the aircraft carriers of both sides, a large number of carrier-based aircraft are ready to fly. Once the opponent's attack intention is discovered, the fighter planes will take off as soon as possible. For the aircraft carriers that ejected and took off, the time for the enemy planes to attack has already been  It is enough to quickly send carrier-based aircraft to the sky to enhance air safety.  Therefore, both sides were very calm, but when this situation lasted for nearly a day, the tense nerves on both sides naturally tightened.  Because at this time, no one dares to be careless, and NATO must also be alert to the active attack posture that the other party may adopt.  Although the probability is not high, in such a situation.  Even if there is only a one percent chance, you must be careful.  And the NATO navy put on a total blockade.  The Somali Atlantic Fleet naturally needs to be more vigilant, especially underwater submarines. This invisible threat is the most terrifying.  The six Typhoon-class attack nuclear submarines following the Atlantic Fleet's dual aircraft carrier battle group formed a hexagonal anti-submarine circle just outside the fleet.  Following the fleet¡¯s speed of 25 knots, their responsibility is to find traces of local submarines.  Prevent the opponent from approaching your fleet.  The two sides are already at war with each other. In terms of anti-submarine warfare requirements, if a submarine is hostile to one's own fleet and deliberately sneaks into the dangerous underwater defense circle of the fleet, the underwater submarine force can attack.  At this point, the submarine forces of both sides have also received orders. Once the opponent's submarine enters the underwater defense circle of the fleet, the submarine is allowed to counterattack.  This silent confrontation underwater can best test the quality of every soldier, and this is in a closed environment.  Maintaining concentration for a long time is a huge test for any officer or soldier.  It lasted for nearly a day, and the soldiers on both sides were very tired.  But no one dared to relax, because no one knew whether a fight would break out in a second.  As the military commander of one of the parties.  Lynch is very relaxed now, because there is only one thing he has to do.  Defense and counterattack.  The fleet sailed in a defensive formation from the moment it set out.  At the outermost edge are four Aegis ships, with eight multi-purpose destroyers in the middle, and around the two aircraft carriers, there are eight Sea Scorpions.  These eight Sea Scorpions have only one mission, which is to help the aircraft carrier block attacks. Once an enemy missile enters the blind zone of the fleet's defense, the Sea Scorpions must use themselves as a shield to prevent the aircraft carrier or command ship from being attacked.  With just this one strike, the world-wide peace that has been maintained for nearly eighty years will be broken.  Europe, America, Africa, Oceania, and West Asia will all be shrouded in flames of war.  Definitely a World War level battle.  However, this is no longer an issue considered by NATO. Now the entire NATO top brass is considering the possible back-up in Somalia.  To this end, a large number of anti-submarine aircraft of the NATO Atlantic Combined Fleet have conducted an all-round scan of this sea area, and have repeatedly determined that the water is very quiet, and no ambush submarines have been found at all.  When this news was reported to the top of NATO for the tenth time, more and more heads of NATO member states agreed to attack the Somali Atlantic Fleet.  Even the heads of state of Britain and France have begun to waver in their hearts. The facts have told them that this sea area is very safe and there is no so-called underwater ambush at all.  However, Hillary was even more hesitant, because the victory that seemed to be coming to her was coming too easily.  She really couldn¡¯t understand how Li Lan could allow two aircraft carrier battle groups to return to Africa alone.?This kind of behavior is not something Li Lan can do.  So when everything pointed to the fact that there was absolutely no ambush on the other side, she didn't believe it at all. Instead, she felt even more dangerous inside.  The video conference had ended long ago, and there was no result from the discussion, while Hillary had a sleepless night.  ¡°She won¡¯t let her fleet take risks until she understands Li Lan¡¯s back-up plans.  She also thought about the Somali V-1DD ballistic missile, which can attack a distance of 3,000 kilometers. The USS Bush suffered a tragedy due to this weapon.  But now that the fleet is more than 3,000 kilometers away from the African continent, the range of this missile is impossible.  The missile launched more than 3,000 kilometers is already prohibited, because once the missile range exceeds 3,000 kilometers, it will be judged as a nuclear bomb.  Hillary believes that Li Lan would not do such a thing. Since threats in Africa are impossible, Hillary has also considered weapons in space.  The United States has the God of War satellite weapon system, and Somalia is very likely to have similar kinetic super-destructive weapons.  However, this weapon is not suitable for attacking moving targets at all. Its destructiveness is effective against fixed large targets and urban targets.  ¡°And Hillary will not use God¡¯s War unless necessary. Even if she can destroy all the major cities in Somalia, the major cities in the United States will also be finished.  But after excluding the weapons in Somalia and in the sky, Hillary really can¡¯t think of any back-ups the other side has.  It¡¯s not just her.  The staff gathered in the Oval Office at this moment could not think of any results.  Because of the P-8 anti-submarine aircraft taking off from the United States.  Already cooperating with ship-based anti-submarine forces around the fleet, a carpet-like search was carried out.  It is almost possible to send out the opponent's lurking submarine.  Everything is beginning to point to an undoubted fact, that is, whether Li Lan is planning an empty city.  When this idea appeared, it was like a boundless black hole swallowing everything. Soon, this idea was the only thing left in Hillary's mind.  "Perhaps that man just wants to make me suspicious of this kind of fearless behavior, and then let the so-called danger that is unwarranted prevent me from taking action. Let the two aircraft carrier battle groups go back smoothly. All this is based on my own understanding of  In terms of his familiarity, he relied on his understanding of him to put himself into a sense of crisis. The tactics of doubting the reality of the situation and the uncertainty of the situation, and the psychological tactic of making himself suspicious in the midst of doubt.  "Hilary held up her chin, muttered a few words in her mind, and then shook her head.  He thought: "But this is most likely done intentionally by the other party. Any possibility may become a reality. Chinese culture is really difficult to understand." After thinking about it for a while.  Hillary, who was still not sure, suddenly picked up the phone and blocked all her staff.  A number was broadcast that only she knew.  The call was quickly connected, and there were bursts of female gasping sounds coming from the other end of the phone.  Then a man's magnetic voice said: "Looks like we didn't launch a missile!" Hillary looked at the time.  Listening to the obviously loving voice on the other end of the phone, there were a few more black lines on her forehead, but she had no reason to be angry, because the call came at this time, and she was the one who disturbed the other person's normal life time.  And the fact that the other party was able to answer the phone under such circumstances was enough to show that they valued her call.  The only thing that made her feel embarrassed was that as if she heard the voice on the phone, all the staff in the Oval Office turned to her with a strange look in their eyes.  "I'm about to launch an attack on your Atlantic Fleet. Why don't you send some troops to rescue me?" Hillary calmed down all her inner emotions and asked.  "Haven't you found reinforcements yet? Seeing that I have to re-evaluate your combat capabilities, it's in vain that I attach so much importance to you." On the other end of the phone, after Li Lan finished speaking, he hung up the phone very bachelorly.  Hillary, who just said one sentence, frowned and listened to the busy tone on the phone. She glanced around at the looks from her staff and said, "Do you think Li Lan is planning this in an empty city? Or is it a plan within a plan?" The Joint Chiefs of Staff  The chairman stood up and said: "Based on the results of the feedback in the last twelve hours, even if the Somali side is prepared, it must sink the submarine to the bottom of the sea very early and use terrain such as submarine trenches to avoid our anti-submarine detection.  , otherwise, if it just sits on the seabed, during such a long anti-submarine search, it will be detected by us due to the changing environment of the earth's magnetic field. " "You are saying that Li Lan is using a trick, I guess.  Smoke bombs were released, but they were already dispatched very early.?The submarine was lying motionless in a certain location in a certain trench on the seabed.  "Hilary asked. "We do not rule out the possibility at all. Li Lan is a person who should not be underestimated. He often behaves in unexpected ways.  And it is not difficult to plan this matter. With his intelligence, he can do better.  " "Then let the fleet's submarines start searching along every trench to see if they can find the opponent's dormant submarine force.  "Hillary said. However, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shook his head and said: "There is no time at all. There are many submarine trenches in the South Atlantic, the deepest is three to four thousand meters, and they spread very long. By the time we search every trench, Somalia  The Atlantic Fleet has long returned to the African continent, and this search will become meaningless.  " "If we don't know whether the opponent has an ambush, how can we launch an attack.  "Hillary said with an ugly face. When the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff heard this, he shook his head and said: "From the beginning, whether to decide to launch an attack on the Somali Atlantic Fleet, the risk is not the first factor to consider, but whether we  We have made preparations for war. While attacking the opponent's fleet, are we also prepared for our own losses?  And whether the global combat system is ready or not, T¨¹rkiye is concerned.  Are we ready for an attack on the Mediterranean coast?  " "You mean that now is not the time to start a war.  "Hillary's eyes flashed. She became stern. "That's not what I meant, but once war breaks out, we must speed up preparations, because I believe that Somalia is not yet ready for a full-scale war, so we  You can also kill this fleet first and then proceed step by step.  Step by step, the scale of the war is expanded.  " "In this case, then order the fleet to attack. I don't want to wait any longer.  Somalia's strength changes three times a day. They are preparing faster than us. I don't want this fleet to return to the African continent, otherwise the Atlantic Ocean will not be under our control in the future.  "Hillary made her decision very seriously. This is really not the time to reserve. She is very much in favor of killing Somalia's Atlantic Fleet first. In the backyard of her home, there are actually two aircraft carrier battle groups that can threaten her at any time.  Maritime and homeland security will seriously hinder the pace of war that NATO is preparing for. Once NATO is ready for a full-scale war, NATO will fall behind in terms of strategy.  The idea is very simple, first eliminate the exposed edge, and then further control the Atlantic Ocean, so that NATO will win the initiative in this war. No matter how strong Somalia is, it will never be an opponent.  The key is to get rid of Somalia's hands deep into the Atlantic Ocean. Only in this way will the channel between the United States and Europe be unobstructed. In recent years, the United States has also focused on building up Japan's navy, not to ensure the underwater and surface security of the Atlantic Ocean.  Security. Because NATO needs Japan¡¯s anti-submarine capabilities too much. Nowadays, the main force of the Japanese navy is concentrated in the Atlantic Ocean. During the war, it has only one mission: to search for Somali submarines active in the Atlantic Ocean and ensure the stability of the maritime lifeline.  I think it should be issued later. Our Fifth Fleet has not yet entered the cruising radius of Australian land-based fighters and is very likely to face retaliatory attacks from the Somali navy.  ¡°And in order to ensure safety, we believe it is necessary to wait for the Somali Atlantic Fleet to enter British St. Helena, and then use the air force on the joint islands to destroy this fleet in one fell swoop.  "The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff persuaded. "What time do you think is best?  "Hillary nodded and asked. "In about ten hours, our fleet will also enter Australian territorial waters, and the opponent's Atlantic fleet will also enter the best attack radius of St. Helena Air Force Base.  .  " "Then in ten hours, tell the combined fleet commander that the attack will be launched in ten hours, and ten minutes before the attack, all military bases around the world will sound the first-level combat alarm, and they are basically ready.  Prepare a response plan and start taking action.  "Hillary decisively issued the order again.  At the same time, after some hard work, Li Lan, wearing pajamas, came to the console and received his summons. Natasha and Tanya also quickly came to the console  "NATO may have decided to attack our Atlantic Fleet, but it is not yet possible to determine the time of the opponent's attack.  "As soon as he saw the two people, Li Lan said immediately. "Why is the commander so sure?  "Tanya asked. "Because Hillary just called me and I was so grateful.It seems that the other party is already a little impatient, and the war will definitely break out in the next twelve hours.  "Li Lan said firmly. "In this case, let's take advantage of it.  Natasha suggested. "No, even if we start this war first, there will be no benefit. The key now is the survival of the Atlantic Fleet. Even if we launch an attack, the Atlantic Fleet will be in danger."  "Li Lan shook his head and said. "Then we should be more prepared. I immediately informed Lynch to start changing the route and slow down to twenty knots to keep the fleet within the attack range of our submarine and stay away from St. Helena.  of NATO military bases.  Otherwise, with five aircraft carrier battle groups and a maritime air base, the Atlantic Fleet will be even more dangerous.  "Tanya said immediately. "Okay, by the way, let me tell Lynch that once there is a temporary outbreak, head towards the Cape of Good Hope at full speed as soon as possible. That is the only place that is safer.  " Having said this, Li Lan's eyes flashed coldly, and he said sternly: "Tell Lynch again that in desperate situations, I can allow the Atlantic Fleet to be wiped out by the enemy, but he must let the enemy suffer greater losses.  NATO thinks it can easily take down my Atlantic Fleet, so let the other side try the most powerful counterattack.  "    "yes.  "Tanya's eyes flashed, and she immediately picked up the phone next to her and contacted Atlantic Fleet Commander Lynch. "If a war breaks out, will we start cleaning up NATO military bases in Africa as soon as possible?  "Natasha asked. "This is necessary. Within twelve hours of the outbreak of the war, I don't want to see NATO military bases existing on the land of Africa and the Middle East. It is allowed on the side of the bed.  Others are sound asleep.  "Li Lan nodded without hesitation and said. "In that case, should we sound the battle alarm now?  Natasha asked. "No, just notify the troops involved in the cleanup plan first and let them prepare for battle. Once the war really breaks out, the battle alarm will be sounded as soon as possible."  From now on, the air force and air defense forces must immediately prepare for combat.  Especially the garrison and friendly forces in the Middle East must be particularly careful.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
