    When the Ebola virus outbreak was confirmed, the U.S. military bases in Japan immediately activated emergency plans, closing all major U.S. military bases, prohibiting U.S. soldiers from entering and exiting the bases, and conducting physical examinations for all soldiers to prevent the outbreak.  Since Aum Shinrikyo did not carry out any biological attacks against the US military, the US military was not seriously harmed. Only two unlucky guys were infected with the virus when they went to have fun, and they were quickly controlled by US military medical officers.  Therefore, the Ebola virus did not spread widely in the US military bases.

    U.S. soldiers wearing thick three-defense uniforms carry M6s and guard the perimeter of the base. Just like in wartime, U.S. soldiers are authorized to actively use weapons to stop anyone who attempts to approach the base, no matter who they are.  Its entry into the base.

    The commander of the base said on the radio that they were already behind enemy lines, and the enemy was the terrible Ebola virus. They must brace themselves and deal with this critical situation with extreme caution.  At the same time, the US military bases in Japan also requested from the mainland to temporarily leave Japan, where the virus is rampant, and temporarily withdraw their defenses.

    The U.S. Department of Defense issued an order in response to this request and agreed to the temporary evacuation of some U.S. forces from Japan, mainly the Navy and Marine Corps. The USS Washington aircraft carrier and its aircraft carrier battle group temporarily left the mooring anchorage Yokosuka and entered the Pacific Ocean. They cannot return immediately.  The U.S. mainland is not even allowed to dock in Guam and Hawaii. The fleet will be observed at sea for more than 40 days and will be fully disinfected. Only after it is determined that there is no Ebola virus, it can be moved to other bases.

    After conducting quarantine, the US Air Force moved from the Japanese mainland to Futenma and other bases in Okinawa. After arriving at the Okinawa base, they will also face a long period of isolation. However, they can escape from the four most dangerous Japanese islands. The US Air Force pilots are already  Very satisfied.

    However, the U.S. military cannot evacuate all U.S. troops. After all, it still has to show Japan that the United States still lives and dies with Japan at this time. Therefore, the Army evacuates in batches and retains some U.S. troops stationed at bases in Japan, but ensures strict hygiene.  standards and try not to have contact with any officials or citizens in Japan to reduce the possibility of contracting the virus.

    Durand, the captain of the USS George Washington aircraft carrier, looked at the fleet sailing on the vast ocean and couldn't help sighing: "Our US military's luck has been really bad recently. The base in South Korea has just been lost, while Japan has suffered from an inexplicable virus.  It¡¯s really unbelievable to have to evacuate due to an outbreak.¡±

    The XO on the ship (roontivoOIIioor, executive commander, equivalent to the deputy captain, similar to the political commissar on the ship) Manekin said: "Maybe this is another incident caused by the Chinese."

    Captain Durand laughed and sneered at this. Everyone knew how terrible the Ebola virus was, and he did not believe that the Chinese could be crazy enough to use this virus to harm Japan, with the purpose of forcing away the US Seventh Fleet.  There are too many suspenses here, and there is no way to sort them out at the moment. However, it would be too much of a conspiracy theory to say that the Chinese are the masterminds behind the scenes.

    It¡¯s just that the culprit in this matter is really Chinese, his name is Qi Yiming.

    Several major factors are needed to make this happen. In reality, there needs to be a vaccine for the Ebola virus that can fundamentally control the virus and not have a devastating impact on the world. Secondly, it needs to have huge potential in Japan and be able to synchronize it.  Spread the virus.  Even if it is very difficult for the United States to complete these two points, the resources China will invest in completing these estimates will be huge, and whether the actual output can break even is still a question.

    The captain and the XO chatted all the time, and they were generally in a relaxed mood.  Their people have basically escaped the dangerous Ebola virus. All the facilities, supplies, and personnel on the ship have passed quarantine, and they are not allowed to dock at any ports just for safety reasons.  They only need to drift at sea for more than a month like normal training, and then they can go to land to relax.

    XO Manekin said: "I don't know where the Pacific Fleet Command will assign us in the future. I hope it is Hawaii instead of Guam. At least there are more things to play in Hawaii, haha."

    Captain Durand said: "I vaguely heard rumors that they may be planning to send us to the Subic Naval Base in the Philippines, which has been renovated and expanded since 1991. The purpose is to be able to reach at least two-thirds of Yokosuka's systems.  Our berthing and support capabilities have become an important pivot for us in the Southwest Pacific.¡±

    Manekin smiled and said: "I'm afraid it is also an important fulcrum to contain China. We and our allies have always regarded the South China Sea as an international sea with free navigation, but in fact the Chinese Navy and the Chinese Coast Guard have established a  Regular patrols and law enforcement, even if the Chinese do not claim that the waters completely belong to them, but China¡¯s fist is there, it goes without saying that others will not dare to make mistakes. "

    Durand sighed: "Originally, everyone thought that the Soviet Union had fallen, that the unipolar world had become a pattern, and that the United States would lead the world. However, we did not expect that our former allies had developed strong strength and used variousIn terms of overall strength, China was stronger than the Soviet Union at that time.  And unlike the Soviet Union, China did not develop these military capabilities by overdrafting its economy and national strength. They developed it in a planned way based on the growth of the national economy. This calmness is impressive.  "

    "Anyway, we have set up an aircraft carrier fleet in Japan and the Philippines, which is the best deterrent for China. I am afraid that China itself understands its current status and does not challenge us openly, but secretly.  We must make some moves. Moreover, China is growing, and the United States is also growing. We have a higher starting point and a more solid foundation. China is the chaser. It will not be easy to surpass us. "

    Durand said: "Many domestic think tanks and strategists are urging the White House to introduce containment policies against China as soon as possible. The name rebalancing has been known to more and more people. I don't think this is a good thing.  , We have just ended a cold war, and there is no reason to start another cold war with a more powerful opponent just because we want to remain the so-called number one in the world."

    Manekin shook his head and said: "This is impossible. The United States has had strong initiative and desire to compete since the day it was founded. It does not dare to be silent and fall behind. We will not allow it to follow others."

    Durand shook his head and said: "From the 18th to the 19th century, the United States has always succumbed to the power of the British Empire. At that time, the United States was not even the second child.

    Manekin said proudly: "But now is the 21st century, and the United States will never return to its past state."

    Durand smiled bitterly: "I hope so."

    At this moment, the fleet's radar detected anomalies in the air. "Sir, we found two aircraft approaching us in the airspace about 300 nautical miles away. The speed exceeds the speed of sound. They are judged to be fighter jets. We cannot tell whether they are friendly forces or others.  The country¡¯s fighter jet.¡±

    Durand immediately cheered up when he heard this: "Follow the combat rules and take off fighter planes to intercept."

    Manekin and several officers checked the navigation records and said to Durand: "If it is our fighter plane, we should receive the news in advance. Japanese fighter planes are even less likely. The only possibility is China's aircraft carrier-based aircraft."

    Durand asked: "China's aircraft carrier-based aircraft? Do they have an aircraft carrier near here?"

    "Yes, records show that the conventionally powered medium-sized aircraft carrier Liaoning purchased by China from Ukraine was conducting high-sea training in this sea area during this period, along with a cruiser, a destroyer, a frigate and a  supply ship and attack nuclear submarine.¡±

    "Really? I remember that the carrier-based aircraft on the Soviet-made aircraft carrier should be Su-33, right?"

    Manekin explained: "To be precise, the J-15 is modified from the Su-33. It is very similar to the Su-33 in appearance, with only slight differences. Because the Chinese did not install this aircraft carrier on her  catapult, so only the J-15 can perform missions on it. Under normal circumstances, this kind of aircraft cannot fight with full fuel and ammunition."

    Durand said: "I remember an analysis in a naval magazine that the Chinese mainly use this kind of fighter aircraft for fleet air defense. If they only carry air-to-air missiles, they can still be full of fuel and bombs. The main attack method of the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet is still  Rely on the strength of A11-).¡±

    The American aircraft carrier captain added: "This is a good opportunity. We know about the red Tomcats used by the Chinese, but we don't know about their J-15. Let the boys cheer up. We are familiar with these from the former Soviet Union.  We need to thoroughly understand the fighter jets, including their electromagnetic signals and flight performance. No one knows whether there will be a conflict between the United States and China, but the party with the most information is undoubtedly the most advantageous."

    "Yes, sir"

    The USS George Washington aircraft carrier immediately took off two E-18CD fighters and flew towards the Chinese fighter aircraft that was performing a flight mission.  These two J-15s are actually performing training missions and are responsible for guarding the outermost air defense circle of the fleet.  When they also detected the appearance of American fighter planes, the two sides tacitly agreed not to communicate, but instead started a flying companion game.

    The two E-18 Hornets that caught up tried to bite the tail of the two J-15 Flying Sharks, but soon they found that their performance could not keep up with the two Flying Sharks.  But in terms of power and weight, the E-18 is a medium fighter, while the J-15 is a heavy fighter. Two -10 engines with a maximum thrust of 155 kN can completely destroy the Hornet's E-404. Almost two flying sharks can't.  No complex maneuvers, just low-tech circling, relying on its own excellent power to get rid of and bite the hornet.

    The hunter suddenly becomes the prey
