Chapter 573: A New Pattern

The blue sea was rolling in waves, and the endless sea water stretched to the horizon, and more than a dozen warships, led by a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, cleaved the waves and headed towards the rabbit country.

This is the ninth US aircraft carrier fleet.

At this time, there were no fighters on the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, and the splints were full of Black Hawk helicopters manufactured by Sikorsky.

They were ordered to escort the Black Hawk helicopters to the Rabbit Country.

After sailing at sea for nearly thirteen days, the Ninth Fleet finally came to the East China Sea, and the fleet commander, Rear Admiral Collins, ordered the fleet to stop and pick up the binoculars to observe the sea ahead.

These warships are the warships of the Rabbit Nation that have come to meet the pilot fleet.

After the two sides were able to visually detect each other, the commander of the Rabbit Nation fleet gave the order.

"Lower the flag, fire the cannon!"

Several warships lined up, lowering the national flag by a third before slowly raising it, and 21 gun salutes were also fired.

The commander of the Ninth Fleet also ordered the fleet to lower its flag and fire its guns.

This is naval etiquette.

The navy is the most ceremonial of all the troops, lowering the flag, firing cannons, hanging full flags and lights, and standing on slopes...... etc., different occasions, with different etiquette.

After the ceremony, the two sides spoke over the radio.

"I am the Ninth Aircraft Carrier Fleet of the United States, and I am ordered to escort the fighters to the Rabbit Country!"

"I'm the Rabbit National East Fleet, and I'm ordered to come and escort you!"

"Please lead the way!"

After Rear Admiral Lins finished speaking, he ordered all warships to drop anchor and stop, on high alert, and not to enter the territorial waters of the rabbit country without an order.

John's request to him was to fully respect the Rabbit Country, so he did not let other warships carrying weapons enter the East China Sea together, but stopped on the shore of the East China Sea.

The rabbit country is very satisfied with the US approach, usually these US warships do not snore and often come to wander around, but now they are actually polite, it is not easy!

The aircraft carrier, laden with Black Hawk helicopters, was escorted by several warships heading towards the Shanghai Naval Port, and when it was about to reach the Shanghai Naval Port, Rear Admiral Lins ordered the soldiers to leave the warehouse and stand on the slope to pay their respects to the Rabbit Country.

The navy of the East Fleet on the shore has long been standing in a neat line, and the high-level officials of the navy, air force, and defense department have also been present one after another.

The U.S. military sent an aircraft carrier to transport Black Hawk helicopters just to show an attitude that the rabbit has a close relationship with the United States, and the United States gave up the bay to support the rabbit.

And the rabbit country also wants to use this arms transfer to convey that the rabbit is very friendly with the United States, so that the opposite Wanwan is dead, and more importantly, through the friendly warning of the rabbit in the north.

John completely turned the original world upside down.

Originally, Maozi and Rabbit had been fighting for decades, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia stopped the confrontation with Rabbit because it had to deal with NATO's eastward advance, and Rabbit also had to deal with the United States' support for Wanwan, and the two countries resumed friendly relations.

But after John's mixing, it changed completely.

Russia does not need to deal with NATO now, and with the improvement of the economy, he has freed his hands and begun to press westward, increasing his military strength outside the frontier and in Outer Mongolia.

The United States has now severed ties with Wanwan, and the rabbit does not have to spend energy on this matter.

In the past, the two countries had a common enemy, so they could come together in a way that was cleared of their previous suspicions, but now that the enemy is gone, there is a new conflict of interest.

The U.S. rapprochement with Russia, full economic support, and political openness have allowed world companies to develop in Russia and Eastern Europe.

Russia and Eastern Europe are rich in resources, with hundreds of millions of cheap labor, and more importantly, Russia and Eastern Europe have a very good geographical location, across the Eurasian continent, after the product is manufactured, it can be quickly shipped to Europe and Asia by using high-quality geographical location.

Although the rabbit country does not have such a good geographical location, it has a vast market and more than a billion cheap labor, which is also very attractive to developed countries such as Europe and the United States.

One wants to recover, the other wants to revitalize, both sides want to become the future world manufacturing center, plus political differences, so the two sides inevitably become competitors, forming a new confrontation in the political, economic and military, although it is not as before, but with the more fierce competition in the future, the more serious the confrontation.

And now Russia has begun to make small moves, the United States has cut off contact with Wanwan, but now Maozi has taken over, trying to drag the rabbit with the Wanwan affair, and at the same time strengthening relations with Ah San.

Therefore, the rabbit needs to maintain friendship with the United States, resist Russia's western pressure, and at the same time accelerate the speed of development, once Russia recovers its economic and military strength, the pressure will be very great, and Russia has now strengthened relations with Asan, and the two countries are likely to be embarrassed, so the rabbit needs international support and the support of major countries.

So this time the weapons handover not only wanted Wanwan to see, but also wanted Maozi to see it.

And John actually can't do much, he can't verbally warn Russia, nor can he use policy regulations, although Russia admits to being the second, but the strength of the people is there, Russia is not a subordinate of the United States, it is good to be able to restrain Russia on the front line in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and it is completely unreasonable to ask Russia not to press west.

Eastern Europe and the Middle East are related to the interests of the United States and its allies, and it is natural for John to ask for this, but rabbits are not allies, so what does he use to ask Russia not to engage in rabbits?

John though is the "general manager" But he still has the chairman on his head, and a group of sensible people who can suppress Russia's late entry into NATO, let the Morgan companies invest in rabbits, give up supporting Wanwan, sell Black Hawk helicopters to rabbits, and use aircraft carriers to swagger through the Northeast and Wanwan Strait, this is already the ultimate that John can do, no matter how much he can't explain, and this has exceeded his code of conduct as a leader who focuses on national interests, the United States is now vigorously supporting Russia, Russia is now opposed to rabbits, and he is supporting rabbits with great fanfare, this is already a matter of dismantling allies, fortunately, Russia now needs to rely on the United States for development, so turn a blind eye, otherwise Russia will have to be in a hurry with John.

After the fleet came to the port and stopped, Rear Admiral Lins walked off the aircraft carrier with a group of officers, and the leaders of the rabbit country also stepped forward to greet them, and the two sides saluted cordially.

"Thank you Major General Lins for traveling thousands of miles to transport fighters for the Rabbit Country, and you have worked hard all the way!" "Lieutenant General He Gang, who is in charge of receiving the equipment this time, shook the hand of Major General Lins.

"That's as it should be!"

Major General Lins replied with a smile on his face.

The two sides then exchanged weapons, and one by one the Black Hawks were carefully transported off the carrier, and experts sent by the Rabbit Country inspected each Black Hawk helicopter.

In the arms trade between countries, it is not uncommon for the new to mix the old with the old, and it is not uncommon to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, Maozi used to sell a batch of weapons to rabbits, some of which were second-hand, and after being discovered by rabbits, Maozi gave a certain amount of compensation with military transport vehicles.

Since the incident of that time, the rabbit is now proficient, and this time it is a helicopter, and if there is a problem after the inspection, what if the old United States uses the car to compensate again?
