    The power of mankind has never been equal to the power of nature. It is not that the destructive power of mankind cannot reach the level of nature, but that mankind has always been too small in front of nature. At this moment, the entire NATO combined fleet  All the officers and soldiers on board had no idea of ??the shocking events happening in Europe. The balance of the entire war had begun to tilt before the outcome was decided.  + However, even if they knew it, they already had too much to take care of themselves.  The joint battle group, whose combat field spans thousands of kilometers, is extremely powerful in every aspect. However, in the face of nature, this so-called strength is just a small earthworm under a big tree and can never be defeated.  Shake the mighty tree.  Since the Age of Discovery, the four words "Grow the Ocean" have been a slogan of courage passed down from generation to generation of sailors.  With modern advanced shipbuilding technology, mankind can almost be said to have realized this great slogan.  However, today, the super aircraft carrier, which represents the highest navigation technology of mankind, is like a small boat rising and falling in the big waves. Although it will not sink, it has made thousands of officers and soldiers on the aircraft carrier unable to even stand.  A large number of advanced equipment inside and outside the aircraft carrier have all been damaged to varying degrees.  This is the first natural disaster that this pair of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers has faced since its launch, because the level 12 sea state cannot deal with such a sea monster.  But this time, they faced huge waves tens of meters high and strong winds of nearly 100 meters per second. It was not easy for the aircraft carrier to still be swaying on the sea.  In just ten minutes, tens of thousands of sailors appeared in the Indian Ocean, with countless equipment and ships.  It has become a new habitat for underwater creatures.  But for the warships outside the hurricane, it is really not as realistic as being blown over in one breath.  Every sailor who lives at sea for a long time.  They couldn't stand the super bumpy ship, everyone was swaying.  I don¡¯t even know where to step on my legs.  On the command ship at the outermost edge of the Pacific Ocean, looking at the swirling clouds gathering on the distant sea and the dark and gloomy sky, Harris and Katsutoshi Kono, who took the Osprey transport plane to take command of the fleet, were already bleeding in their hearts.  Due to the hurricane, the satellite was lost and the early warning aircraft was unable to take off. He has completely lost contact with the outside world.  Although he did not know why NATO did not prevent the formation of this hurricane.  However, in fact, he had no idea to think about that at the moment.  He is now filled with blood and tears that are too numerous to describe.  ??The fleet that he had organized for several months and dominated the world was easily destroyed by a typhoon.  As the commander of hundreds of warships and hundreds of thousands of sailors in the fleet, if he hadn't been needed here to command, he would have drawn out his pistol and given himself a break.  At this moment, a figure flashed in Harris' mind, that is Halsey, the commander of the U.S. Navy's Third Fleet during World War II.  A miserable American admiral.  In the late Pacific War of World War II, the U.S. Third Fleet, in addition to being indiscriminately bombed by Japanese kamikaze suicide planes, also suffered a ruthless attack from the "Cobra" typhoon.  Although Fleet Commander Admiral Halsey received the typhoon warning, he failed to interpret it correctly.  The fleet was still stranded in the waters near Leyte.  As a result, three destroyers were buried at the bottom of the sea, and more than 800 officers and soldiers died.  Although the aircraft carrier withstood the typhoon, 146 fighter planes were destroyed.  That was the first time Halsey was hit by a typhoon.  He was suspended for four months, but only a year later.  Coincidentally, during the US military's attack on Okinawa.  Unlucky Halsey sent the fleet into a typhoon again.  The ships collided with each other in the storm and suffered serious losses.  75 aircraft on the aircraft carrier fell into the seabed, and more than 70 fighter planes were seriously damaged.  Halsey is known as the Typhoon Admiral. He led the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier fleet twice when it encountered typhoons in combat.  At this moment, Harris felt that he was the unlucky Typhoon General.  And this time, the fleet he destroyed was unmatched by the previous two times.  But at this moment, he could fully understand Halsey's helplessness at that time, because he had already moved the fleet towards the western Indian Ocean at full speed, but after the hurricane formed, most of the fleet's strength had no time to leave the center of the hurricane.  In three hours, the fleet's range of activities was limited and it was impossible to avoid the center of the hurricane.  So from the beginning, he hoped that NATO senior leaders could make a decision to interrupt Somalia's weather weapons.  There is no need to say anything now. NATO naturally failed to prevent the use of weather weapons in Somalia.  And he also paid an unimaginable price, which can no longer be measured in terms of monetary losses.    The NATO Pacific Combined Fleet has failed and has become the most miserable fleet in the history of mankind.  "What should we do now?" Katsutoshi Kono walked to Harris with a sad face and asked.  "How many aircraft carriers have not yet come out?" Harris asked rhetorically.  "There are still four aircraft carriers in the center of the hurricane. The four aircraft carrier battle groups that have left the center of the hurricane are restoring combat effectiveness as soon as possible." Katsutoshi Kono said sadly.  "Let the Maritime Self-Defense Force deploy in anti-submarine and defensive formations. We begin to shrink our forces and wait for the hurricane to pass before returning to Nikola Port as soon as possible. We have failed in this naval battle." Harris said calmly. At this moment,  He couldn't hate anymore because he didn't have the ability to hate.  "No, we still have the strength to fight. Retreating like this is the biggest failure." Katsutoshi Kono refuted Harris's order very seriously.  Rarely, Harris did not feel angry because of this and said: "What do you think?" "We still have four aircraft carriers and a dozen amphibious assault ships, as well as the complete ten fleets of our Maritime Self-Defense Force. Absolutely  We have the strength to fight. My suggestion is to let the injured aircraft carrier return to port to rest as soon as possible, and then use our fleet to fight guerrillas with the enemy. Once we retreat, the Somali navy will press in with all its forces and force us to fight.  It¡¯s a real failure,¡± Katsutoshi Kono said excitedly.  "But do you really think we have the strength to fight?" Harris showed bitterness at the corner of his mouth, pointing to the hurricane clouds in the eastern sky, and said: "This hurricane is enough to cause our fleet to lose supplies for the next few months. What are you going to do with it?"  Going to fight guerrilla warfare?" Kono Katsuhiro's face also became very ugly.  Also fell silent.  Harris continued: "Do you know what this super hurricane represents? I can tell you that this hurricane will sweep across the Western Pacific. Our military facilities on the Western Pacific islands will be damaged, and hundreds of millions of people there will be damaged.  People will also become victims of hurricanes. Do you think anyone will come to provide us with supplies? It will take only a few years to recover from such a disaster. " "I'm sorry, Commander, I was not thoughtful.  "Kashun Kono said very ashamed.  "No, what you said is not wrong." It was beyond Katshun Kono's expectation.  Harris suddenly changed his voice and said: "If I were the enemy's commander, I would not hesitate to kill our remnant army. Although I don't know the cost of launching such a large-scale weather operation, I know very well.  This time the enemy is not only trying to deprive us of our combat effectiveness, but also to cut off our retreat. Even if we return to the military port, the land-based defenses that have been ravaged by the hurricane will not be able to fight against the enemy's huge fleet.  It is a battlefield, and the aircraft carrier's combat effectiveness can only be exerted on the ocean. If our fleet returns to the port, it will be destroyed without the ability to resist. " "Then what should we do now?  Kejun didn't know what to say for a while, not even when he went back.  Not even if you don¡¯t go back.  "As I just said, shrink your troops and slowly return to the military port. But you don't really want to go back, but let the land-based air force repair the base as much as possible. Be prepared for support." After doing this, Harris turned around and looked.  Looking at the western sky.  A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he said: "Now I just hope that the other party will not be able to organize a large enough offensive force due to the hurricane." Harris's worry started from the strategic level, but he didn't know that from him  When he ordered his fleet to advance rapidly towards the Western Indian Ocean, the fate of the NATO Pacific Combined Fleet was already doomed.  This hurricane is indeed Lynch's means to force the NATO Pacific Fleet to fight decisively, and as Harris said, it is to cut off the supplies, backup and retreat of the NATO fleet.  But it also has a purpose, which is to push the NATO combined fleet closer to the middle of the Indian Ocean, because here he is ready to encircle and annihilate this fleet.  At this moment, the entire Pacific Combined Fleet is unable to take off fighter planes, and helicopters, which are most afraid of airflow, are also unable to take off.  The fleet's anti-submarine capability has also dropped to its lowest point, and it is simply unable to ensure the underwater safety of the entire fleet.  In the modern warfare environment, the relationship between spear and shield is well reflected in submarines and anti-submarine weapons.  As the most valuable combat weapon, submarines have always been a key subject for every naval country.  In terms of cost-effectiveness, the value of submarines is the highest among all maritime ships.  It has also led to the diversified development of submarines in various countries, making the anti-submarine situation in the ocean very serious at all times.  The anti-submarine of aircraft is the aircraft carrierThe most important underwater protection force of the battle group, as well as the submarine force outside the aircraft carrier, have established an underwater and surface defense network.  Now, NATO as a whole is simply unable to maintain anti-submarine work on the entire water, which was within Lynchshan's expectation.  Because no fleet would be able to carry out flight anti-submarine work in such weather.  For this reason, he has already prepared to deal with the Japanese anti-submarine fleet outside the fleet.  The anti-submarine capabilities of the Japanese fleet have already been learned by the Red Alert Navy when they saw war.  It has to be said that the anti-submarine capabilities of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force are indeed very excellent.  But in such an environment, even underwater submarines cannot conduct anti-submarine operations in such complex sea conditions.  Not to mention these simple surface ships, but this time Lynchshan did not use submarines.  Because even Red Alert¡¯s submarine does not have very strong combat effectiveness in such complex sea conditions.  The violent waves will cover up many sounds inside the ocean, and the complex weather and climate are extremely detrimental to submarine anti-ship operations.  Therefore, he had prepared many smart mine weapons in advance to target the Japanese anti-submarine fleet outside the NATO Joint Pacific Fleet.  Intelligent mines are all controlled by independent computers and are modern anti-ship weapons that can automatically hide, locate, identify and attack.  It can achieve clear, precise and fierce attacks on targets that ordinary mines simply cannot do.  ??A mine with a history of 800 years of use.  It has always been the natural enemy of surface ships.  Mines are not only conventional weapons used by weak countries to defend their coasts and suppress powerful enemies' maritime attacks, but also used by powerful maritime powers to block each other's ports and exits to the sea.  An effective weapon for landing offensive operations.  During the Iraq War, Iraq dropped thousands of mines.  This prevents the U.S. fleet from forming a natural battle formation.  With the development of modern warfare technology, modern naval mines have been promoted into the ranks of high-tech weapons, especially the widespread application of microelectronics technology, which has made naval mines begin to develop in an intelligent direction, with their destructiveness, anti-sweeping ability and flexibility.  Raised to a new level.  And the most important feature of mines is that they are not easy to detect. Unlike submarines, they will emit a certain sonar signal even if they are silent.  But there is no such problem with mines, unless you are very familiar with the waters here.  Otherwise, it will be difficult to get beyond the mines in the sea.  On the ocean, it is impossible for the enemy to imagine that in such an environment, there are actually mines, and the surprise attack capability is extremely high.  There are hundreds of thousands of various smart mines in the world. Although Somalia is not the country with the most smart mines, it is definitely not inferior to anyone in terms of technology.  The appearance of smart mines deployed from submarines is not regular at all.  Instead, it will blend into it with the flow of sea water, and then sink to the bottom of the sea. Only the smart sensors inside are working.  As long as a fixed sonar signal is detected, it will change its shape immediately.  Directly stick to the warship, and then cause devastating explosion damage to the opponent.  The sensors in the mines have recorded the sonar data of each enemy warship and the changes in the earth's electromagnetic environment.  For example, a mine locks the sonar and magnetic field change data of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer as an attack target.  The mine will only launch an attack after it finds this completely consistent signal.  You can even set a first-level attack target.  List other attack targets for use in special naval combat environments.  It allows mines to identify and attack more enemy ship targets.  At this moment, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force warships scattered outside the NATO Pacific Combined Fleet had no idea that they had entered a minefield.  ¡°These mines are designed to deal with these Japanese warships. Thousands of smart mines have been laid in this huge sea area.  On the calm seabed, irregular mines like water flow are quietly dormant on the seabed.  Japanese AIP submarines passed by on the seabed one after another, as if they did not see these mines.  Because the place where the Japanese navy is currently passing is only the periphery of the mine array, and the mines here are all designed to attack ships on the surface.  And according to the division of warships at the front and rear of the Japanese fleet, set the types of warships to attack.  On the sea, the hurricane was still raging, and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force warships that received the alert order began to disperse.  And continue to develop a defensive circle towards the central Indian Ocean. Everything was already planned.  As long as the fleet moves to a time when the impact of the hurricane is minimal, anti-submarine helicopters can be dispatched to carry out peripheral anti-submarine work.    But they would never have imagined that the smart mines under their water had already smelled their prey.  First, the passive sonar sensor on the mine receives the target sonar signal. When the target noise is found, the passive sensor will be turned on to identify the target type. If it does not match the set target, no further action will be taken. If it matches, then no further action will be taken.  Immediately activate active sensors to implement strict monitoring and tracking of targets.  When the target advances within a certain distance, the smart mine can independently choose to set the fuze action program, predetermined sequence and specific target characteristics.  At this moment, one mine after another has been activated from the bottom of the sea, and the prey has come within our attack range.  Active and passive sensors have locked onto the targets one by one, and all the mines have begun to float from the seabed.  Swim toward the place where the active and passive sonar is emitted. After slowly approaching the target, the fuze system in the mine begins to activate.  The advanced smart mines with no fixed form seem to have been integrated into the sea. The passive sonar shells on the Japanese warships did not detect the approach of these uninvited guests at all.  The mines were stuck directly to the bottom of the ship, and violent explosions erupted from the mines in the next second.  A Japanese Harushio-class destroyer that was cutting through the waves on the complicated sea was suddenly lifted to the surface of the sea. A huge explosion sounded. In just the blink of an eye, the thousands-ton destroyer was directly blown up in the middle.  The powerful power of the mine directly destroyed a warship, but also caused the entire Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force fleet to sound the battle alarm.  But today is destined to be the day of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force¡¯s demise. Twenty nautical miles away, a battle alarm has just been sounded on a Kongo-class destroyer, but before all the officers and soldiers could react.  Without warning, the entire bow of the destroyer suddenly erupted with violent fire and explosions, and the entire bow of the destroyer completely turned into debris flying all over the sky.  The front of the ship was lifted high, and the entire bow of the ship was blown away. The turbulent seawater poured in from the bow of the ship. A destroyer of tens of thousands of tons was quickly swallowed by the turbulent seawater, and the sea surface soon floated.  It is filled with the wreckage of warships and the few survivors of Japanese sailors.  For the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, this is just the beginning, because more and more mines are finding their targets, and sometimes a warship is targeted by more than one mine.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
