Text 651 The Fifth Fleet under the Lightning Storm (Part 1)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The headquarters of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet is located in Bahrain.  Because of the war, the official relationship between Bahrain and the U.S. Fifth Fleet has been on fire recently.  The Bahrain royal family has made it clear that under such circumstances, it does not want the US military to continue to stay in Bahrain. The US military insists that the base lease agreement signed with Bahrain has not yet expired, so it does not agree to leave Bahrain.  In fact, the US military does not dare to leave Bahrain. No country in the Gulf dares to take in Americans. Saudi Arabia even directly closed the seaport and cut off any supply and support to the US fleet. It is not that Bahrain has not thought about this, but Bahrain¡¯s military  It is not as strong as Saudi Arabia and cannot accomplish such an arduous task.

    Zelibor, the commander of the Fifth Fleet, looked at the not-so-good weather in the bay, worried, and frowned deeply.  The Middle East, which rarely rains, unexpectedly experienced a large-scale storm at this time. Dark clouds had covered the low altitude, and strong winds had begun to brew, making the US sailors preparing in Bahrain Port a little frightened. Mother Nature  The power of a warship is always more frightening than a powerful enemy. Even if it is moored at an anchorage, strong winds may overturn a warship, and large waves may sink a ship.

    "Boys, are you ready? Except for the necessary personnel to stay on the ship, everyone should go to the shelter. This will be an impressive storm." Zelipol said to the staff beside him.

    The staff officer replied: "Yes, we have made preparations in advance based on the judgment made by the meteorological department. Sufficient ballast has been prepared on the ship to resist the wind and waves. The wind and wave shelter facilities in Bahrain Port are also relatively good."  I believe we can survive this disaster.¡±

    Zelibol nodded, wondering what he was thinking, and sighed: "This storm has caused us more trouble. The Chinese aircraft carrier battle group has been wandering outside the Strait of Hormuz for a week.  "Fighters and missiles will be dispatched to attack us at any time, but we are trapped in the Persian Gulf and lack support. Even if we survive this storm, will the Chinese let us go?"

    "Your Excellency Major General, maybe we don't need to be so pessimistic. As long as we can persist, the powerful fleets of the United States and its allies will definitely break through the Mozambique Strait and support us." The staff officer said more optimistic words, but from his serious and meticulous face  It can be seen from the above that his actual psychology is not so optimistic.

    "I hope so." Zelibor said softly, so much so that a group of senior officers next to him didn't even hear what he said.

    Judging from the lineup, the Fifth Fleet is definitely a super force that can give most navies a headache. The aircraft carrier John Stennis, two Ticonderoga-class cruisers, two Alec Burke-class destroyers, and two  Spruance-class destroyers, three Perry-class frigates, and two nuclear attack submarines.  But this is such an aircraft carrier battle group fleet that can almost severely damage the navies of most countries in the world, but it has no way to block their Chinese Sichuan aircraft carrier battle group.

    China¡¯s Indian Ocean Fleet has too many forces ambushing outside the Strait of Hormuz, and they don¡¯t care how much they hide their forces. They just let the Americans see it openly and openly.  What the Americans know about is a lineup of surface ships such as aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, and frigates. What makes the US military even more dangerous is that the Gwadar base has stationed a large number of China's AIP submarines and coastal defense submarines (Thunder).  Submarine), there are at least a dozen Chinese submarines hidden underwater outside the Strait of Hormuz, and the Fifth Fleet currently lacks anti-submarine warfare capabilities. Although these dozen Chinese submarines may not be as domineering and powerful as the Type 096 attack nuclear submarine  , but its own combat effectiveness cannot be ignored.

    The combat power of the two fleets is actually almost the same, but to be on the safe side, the U.S. military does not dare to break through easily. In particular, the Chinese Sichuan aircraft carrier battle group has a geographical advantage, and the U.S. fleet itself is in a relatively weak position.  Even during the previous Battle of the Mozambique Channel, Zelibol was unwilling to use the Fifth Fleet to contain the Chinese Navy, because the chance of victory was really slim.

    Zelibol also thought that even if the Fifth Fleet directly defeated the Sichuan aircraft carrier battle group and broke through the Strait of Hormuz, the road south to join the main force of our side would be difficult and dangerous.  The main fleet of China's Indian Ocean Fleet will catch them first without any surprise, and it is absolutely impossible for the Fifth Fleet to fight against the large fleet composed of three aircraft carrier battle groups on its own.

    It was during this wasted waiting that the situation faced by the Fifth Fleet was getting worse and worse. As a result, Zelibol became more worried about gains and losses. He no longer had the heart to fulfill all the various orders from the U.S. Department of Defense.  It's all about how to preserve the strength of the Fifth Fleet and prevent it from being severely damaged or even destroyed by the Chinese.

    Zelibor actually had a premonition that his fleet might not be able to escape the end of being wiped out, but he guessed the ending, but not the process.

    Qi Yiming looked at the satellite cloud image on an electronic screen in Dalinol, China, thousands of kilometers away from the Persian Gulf in the Middle East, and seemed to be able to feel the powerful meteorological forceLiang is using his skills at will.

    A line of text was displayed in the lower right corner of the electronic screen: "A lightning storm is forming and is expected to hit the designated target in 2 minutes."

    Academician Zhao, who was also sitting in the office, was also staring at the screen. He was even writing calculations in the air with his fingers. He looked like a technical geek. He looked up at Qi Yiming and said, "I haven't done any experiments before.  , the risk is still higher if the lightning storm is used directly in actual combat. We can't predict how much damage the lightning storm can cause to the US Fifth Fleet. Perhaps, we have some other better weapons.  The fifth fleet is eliminated.¡±

    Qi Yiming smiled and said: "Are you referring to the measuring wave weapon you just successfully developed? Isn't this thing more difficult to control than a lightning storm?"

    Academician Zhao is nearly ninety years old at this time, but I don¡¯t know how he maintains it, but he is still very energetic. Just recently, he launched his latest scientific research result-scalar wave weapon.  This terrifying weapon of mass destruction can cause an earthquake of high intensity in an area, and at the same time, a strong EP can directly paralyze all electronic equipment in the area.  However, this weapon is quite uncontrollable, and Academician Zhao himself regrets this.

    "Haha, whether it is lightning storms or scalar wave weapons, they are all similar in nature. They use artificial means to trigger the power of nature to attack the enemy. However, because humans have arbitrarily interfered with natural factors, it is very possible that  Causes many associated negative effects. For example, earthquakes caused by scalar wave weapons may continuously cause aftershocks in the area, and even the earth's crust will undergo drastic changes, causing unimaginable damage. Lightning storms will also affect the local climate.  After the storm, the weather in the entire region is likely to be completely disrupted during the year, causing crop failure, or even continuous disaster precipitation, etc. I think it is a fatal thing for mankind to master nuclear weapons.  If these two things get involved again, we are not far from destruction."

    Qi Yiming nodded with deep understanding and said: "Yes, the harm of these super weapons is huge, and we need to be extra cautious. Of course, the most important thing is who is the person who masters these super weapons, and whether they can really  Those who are not good at using these things may be able to use these things to benefit mankind.¡±

    The two continued to discuss the ethics and ethics of scientists and politicians until a new line of text appeared on the screen - the lightning storm was approaching, and the final three-second countdown began.

    Qi Yiming rubbed his hands, stared at it without blinking, and said: "It's coming."

    Academician Zhao was also pleased, "Let us see the power of lightning storms."

    As Zelibor and his colleagues watched, thick cliff-like cumulonimbus clouds completely enveloped the sky over the Port of Bahrain. Such a strange sky naturally aroused the fear of the American soldiers and Bahraini people.  He didn't know what he was about to face.

    When the first bolt of lightning struck from the sky, Zelibor didn't notice anything wrong and thought it was just a very ordinary rainstorm mixed with some thunder and lightning.  Military facilities generally have very complete lightning protection measures, and warships are equipped with lightning rods on top.  However, these lightning protection methods for dealing with ordinary lightning are completely useless when facing lightning storms.

    More and more thunderstorms are being struck from the sky, and there are many types of thunderstorms. In addition to ordinary thunderstorms, there are also ball lightnings known as "rolling thunderstorms" among the people.  The destructive power of these ball lightnings is more terrifying than lightning strikes in the sky. Thunder strikes basically eat up lightning rods, while rolling thunder, a mysterious lightning, has very unstable characteristics and is also maneuverable.  They shuttle through the air at will, and can even enter through windows and holes, jump on wires and even hover in mid-air. They have strong high temperature and can directly bake a big tree.

    Among the real lightning storm super weapon attacks, the most terrifying ones are these rolling thunders.  In normal thunderstorms, the frequency of rolling thunder is not particularly high, but in man-made lightning storms, ball lightning becomes the main force of destruction.  Tens of thousands of ball lightnings were destroying various facilities and buildings on the ground like ferocious beasts. The high temperature destroyed the steel, and there were even spectacles of multiple lightning bolts attacking ships at the same time.

    "Oh my God, what's going on? My God, tell me what are these?" Zelibol exclaimed in shock.
