    China and the United States are simultaneously brewing a naval war in the Indian Ocean. Although they both know that a naval war is unlikely to end China's superiority or even dominance in the Indian Ocean. There will be multiple battles surrounding sea control in the Indian Ocean, and China  It is impossible for the United States to bring all its naval power to the Indian Ocean. China needs a fleet to defend its Asia-Pacific homeland, and the United States needs a fleet to guard its important towns such as Okinawa, Guam, and Hawaii. Therefore, although both sides will invest heavily in the Indian Ocean, they will never be  all.

    Since the United States and South Africa reached an alliance, the US military's strategy has gradually become clear. With the help of South Africa as a stronghold, it will connect to India to the northeast, and then block half of the Arabian Sea, thereby completely excluding the Chinese navy from this range, and China will be unable to fight  By entering the Middle East, the United States can move more freely in the Middle East and gain access to the entire Middle East's oil resources and its geographical advantages.

    Of course, in order to complete this step, the United States must seize the Suez Canal. Although Mubarak has not publicly declared his preference for China, Egypt will not tolerate any actions that are harmful to China. So it is no different from supporting China.  .  The US military needs to remove the Egyptian obstacle to obtain the Suez Canal.  On this issue, the United States hopes to get the support of Israel, a small power in the Middle East, in sending troops. After all, Israel has defeated the Egyptians in several Middle East wars.

    Israel has not officially joined NATO and has great hesitation in cooperating with the United States to deal with China. Although China has always had good relations with green countries, it is not bad with Israel. The two sides have relatively stable economic and trade exchanges and scientific and cultural cooperation.  , plus China was kind to Israel more than half a century ago, and following the United States in dealing with China is really deviating from Israel's core interests, so there is a relatively strong voice of opposition in Israel.  In particular, parties like the Likud Group, which is known for its toughness, are firmly opposed to listening to the voice of the dollar, and instead call for real attention to Israel's own interests.

    ¡°After the Middle East is completely controlled by the United States, it is equivalent to cutting off the connection between China and Eastern European countries. At that time, the United States can even manipulate countries such as Romania and Yugoslavia.  The United States' main war strategy of isolating China's westward development can also be declared successful.

    Of course, this series of things all depends on a prerequisite, that is, the United States can obtain sea control of at least half of the Indian Ocean, making it impossible for China's military power to continue to advance westward.

    To achieve this, the Americans dispatched three aircraft carrier battle groups, the USS Nimitz, the USS Eisenhower, and the USS Carl Vinson, and rushed from their home port of Norfolk to the Indian Ocean all night long.  They will follow the east coast of Africa to attack China's main military bases and fleets along the coast to seize effective air and sea control.  At the same time, it is also to rescue the USS John Stennis aircraft carrier trapped in the Persian Gulf in Gwadar.

    Even if Americans are arrogant, they are a little afraid of the Chinese fighting power. Although they can hypnotize themselves, the wars fought by the United States have basically been suppressed first and then advanced. They suffered repeated defeats at the beginning, but eventually reversed the defeat and turned defeat into victory.  But no one can guarantee that this routine can continue forever in the United States, and this time the enemies of the United States are not countries like Germany and Japan with a population of over 100 million, narrow land, and limited resources, but countries with a population of more than ten  Billion, pulling together an alliance of more than a dozen countries, China's military strength is equal to or even superior to its own.

    Therefore, the US military has also prepared a backup plan. If the three-carrier fleet has an unfavorable start, the US military will continue to dispatch a three-carrier fleet to the Indian Ocean, so that the number of US aircraft carriers in the Indian Ocean theater will reach about half of the number of aircraft carriers owned by the US military. In addition, the US is also  Actively request countries with aircraft carriers such as Britain and France to participate in the war against China to share some of the pressure on the United States.  However, Britain and France are still a little wary of sending large fleets to act with the United States.  After all, this time we are not bullying others, but fighting an equally strong opponent. If we are not careful, the entire army may be wiped out.

    Naturally, the Chinese Navy will not let the Americans launch their plan to control the Indian Ocean so smoothly. The Chinese Navy is further expanding its control position in the Indian Ocean. Its measures are to eliminate the various strongholds of the US military in the Indian Ocean and at the same time attack India's  The port facilities make it impossible for India to provide effective help to the US military for a while. At least for the time being, the US military cannot moor and supply supplies in Indian harbors.

    Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Ocean Fleet Zhang Juzuo led the aircraft carrier Jiangsu all the way south from the Bay of Bengal to the Diego Garcia base shared by the U.S. and British forces. This base can be said to be an important fulcrum of the entire Indian Ocean strategy of the United States. The U.S. military launches attacks on southern Tibet  This is where the Chinese air strikes began.  Diego Garcia is very small, and almost all of the island's area has been used to build military facilities.  After the US military launched the Quake Project, there were not many military aircraft here, and only a few were still in operation.

    The aircraft carrier Jiangsu naturally had no interest in approaching here. Instead, it dispatched a group of strong stealth attack aircraft under the escort of B14CN to fly to Diego Garcia Island for attack.Exploded.  The US military deployed certain air defense weapons on the island, and the Chinese Navy's Aegis cruiser launched six Long Sword cruise missiles in advance to attack the island's air defense facilities in preparation for the arrival of the follow-up fleet.

    The US military threatened the Chinese army with cruise missiles, and the Chinese army responded with cruise missiles. It can be described as tit for tat.  The small Diego Garcia Island was already in trouble after being attacked by these cruise missiles, and the force that arrived later directly plunged the small island into a sea of ????fire.

    In fact, the US military knew from the beginning that Diego Garcia could not hold it.  The U.S. military does not have a permanent large-scale fleet here, because there is simply no room for so many ships and people here, and there are all China's overseas bases and fleets nearby. Unless the U.S. military can quickly inflict heavy damage to the Chinese navy, this island will  The possibility of holding on is close to zero.  Therefore, the US military used transport planes to evacuate a large number of troops stationed on the island at the beginning, leaving only a small number of soldiers for symbolic occupation.  After the fierce bombing began, the remaining British and American soldiers on the island were in great pain. For them, surrendering to the Chinese navy was much better than being constantly bombed by the Chinese naval aviation and risking death at any time.

    An hour later, two Chinese raiding destroyers boarded Diego Garcia Island and occupied this important stronghold of the US military in the Indian Ocean.
