It's just that Colonel Crist can't imagine that his well-intentioned kindness is an out-and-out trap in the eyes of Admiral Larson, who only feels that this is part of the dominant Air Force doing its best to edge the Navy, and its situation is similar to that in the early 50s, depriving the supercarrier budget and building heavy intercontinental bombers for nuclear ~~ strikes, it is nothing more than trying to weaken the naval aviation and strategic nuclear ~~ in the Navy that coincide with the combat missions of the Air Force~~forces, so as to get a bigger share of the pie in the future defense budget.

Because of this, when Admiral Larson listened to Christer's words, the first time he did not think about what to do with the next military action, but thought about how to break the trap set by the other side, originally their navy's combat mission was mainly a feint, and the only naval aviation units that could directly participate in the offensive were also mostly deployed to the border areas to bomb oil refineries, power plants or the forward positions of the Iraqi army.

High-value strategic targets, such as the presidential palace, the Ministry of Defense building, the telecommunications center, and the air defense command center in Baghdad, are basically out of touch with naval aviation; if it weren't for the fact that the "Tomahawk" cruise missiles were all deployed on naval ships and used to raid high-value targets in Iraq, the powerful US Navy might have been squeezed into a dispensable soy sauce party by the air force.

Therefore, when I heard Colonel Christ's request for the naval aviation passing through Nahab to change course, let alone Admiral Larson, even if it was replaced by any admiral, no one would be stupid, and the change in course of the fighter formation would inevitably occupy the route of other attack formations, which would inevitably lead to the suspension of the attack.

In the face of such a situation, the Air Force fighters can hover and wait in the predetermined airspace, but the Navy fighters cannot do this, not that the combat performance of the fighters is inferior to the Air Force fighters, but mainly because the overstretched airborne fuel cannot allow the Navy fighters to squander it wantonly.

In addition, when the naval aviation pilots carrier-based aircraft land on the ship, it must retain one-quarter to one-third of the surplus fuel, so that after the landing failure, it has the ability to return to flight, and then adjust its attitude again to land on the ship.

Because of this, naval fighters can't afford to spend in the sky at all, some people may say, this is a big deal, so many air tankers in the hands of the US military, just a dozen or so is enough to feed a few aircraft carrier carrier-based aircraft wings, theoretically speaking, there is indeed no problem, but theory is theory after all, and there will inevitably be a big gap with reality;

In fact, the US Air Force's air tankers are faced with this huge embarrassment between theory and reality when facing naval combat aircraft, not that the performance of the US Air Force's air tankers is not good, nor is it that the US Navy fighters do not have air refueling capabilities, but because of the enmity and entanglement between the two branches of the military, the system architecture of the two aviation units is completely different, and this also leads to the two branches of the military in the application of air refueling technology, just like two strange countries, completely incompatible:

The U.S. Air Force, based on the principle of efficiency first and relying on the strong technical support of the United States, uses hard-tube refueling technology; however, due to the limitations of aircraft carriers, the Navy cannot carry large air tankers, and can only use fighter jets to carry refueling pods and implement partner refueling, so it adopts more adaptable hose refueling.

When the two branches of the armed forces go their own way in peacetime, they still can't see anything, but once they join forces to fight the enemy together, the drawbacks of the incompatibility of the two systems will come to the fore; the US Air Force's air tanker fleet is very large, but there are very few that can carry out hose refueling.

However, the navy originally relied on the mobile airfield of the aircraft carrier as the backing, and was not equipped with air tankers with a long range and a large load at all, so that the naval attack formation that changed course had no other way but to return home, but returning to the sea meant that the offensive plan was canceled, and the cancellation of the offensive plan meant the failure of the attack mission.

The failure of the attack mission means that it cannot achieve combat merits, and the absence of military merits means that there is no reason and results to strive for more national defense and military spending, not to mention that there are many arms giants behind this, and their complex interests are as dense as a spider's web, which is difficult to summarize in one sentence, in a word, the navy cannot easily give up the attack operation no matter what, and because of this, Admiral Larson naturally has a tough attitude and does not retreat...........

"Admiral Schwarzkopf's order?" Admiral Larson snorted disdainfully, and changed the earpiece from his left hand to his right hand: "Unless it is an order from the president, no one has the right to order me, you must know that the battle plan is issued by the president, and I myself am authorized by the president to have partial command, everything I do is a presidential order, unless he himself directly orders to change, I can only carry it out!"

"You ........."

Crist's lungs on the other end of the phone were almost blown up, and his fists were clenched tightly, if the communication satellite was more powerful to transmit the force, Crist would not hesitate to swing two punches to kill Admiral Larson on the other side, but it was impossible to achieve it with the current level of technology, and in desperation, he could only pinch the bone joints to crackle:

"According to the information obtained so far, the air defense units deployed in Nahab are very likely to be the elite surface-to-air missile units secretly dispatched by the Soviet Union to Iraq, and their combat effectiveness is extremely fierce, so the coalition command still hopes that the navy will be fully aware of this and leave the Nahab .........route as soon as possible."

"Oh, the Soviet surface-to-air missile forces, what, scared?" Admiral Larson's tone was a little disdainful, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth became even thicker:

"Hmph~~ It seems that this is the case, the most elite surface-to-air missile unit of the Soviet Union, it sounds really scary, especially those rookies who have just entered the barracks, maybe after hearing this, they may even forget how to incite their wings, but now you are obviously looking for the wrong person!"

The meaning of Admiral Larson's words with a gun and a stick is very clear: what is the Soviet elite surface-to-air missile unit, it is completely a trick of Krist to fool people, he did not clear the threat of the route, he said that he did not clear it, but he came up with a reason for the Soviet Union to send troops to help to justify his own mistakes, do you want to treat all the people in this world as fools?

Of course, there's a small chance that Crist isn't wrong, but so what? Is it just because it was against the Soviet surface-to-air missile forces? Is that still what a powerful United States military should do? You know, in Benghazi in Libya, in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, on the banks of the canals in Panama,

The troops of the United States and its allies have used the latest American-style equipment to beat the Soviet-style air defense system to the ground more than once, and this Gulf War is bound to be the same, even if the Soviets themselves operate it, they will not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed, and then once again demonstrate to the world the superior ability of the American-style equipment and win arms orders from various countries.........

Because of this, there is no need to take a detour, stepping on the head of the Soviets to achieve a big sale of arms and equipment is the real king, anyway, Crist's words are right or wrong, through Nahab there is no harm to the navy, so why listen to Christ's demagogy?

Colonel Crist could naturally hear Admiral Larson's words, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out, and he said viciously to Admiral Larson:

"You will be punished for your ignorance!"

"The same goes for you!"

Admiral Larson did not behave like Crist, but he also said a few words domineeringly, with the demeanor of a generation of famous generals, and after the other party's phone receiver was completely hung up, the corners of his mouth that had been sneering finally outlined a hearty laugh.

It is a very pleasant thing to make a pretentious, high-minded Crist, extinct, and extinct, not to mention that it can also allow the Navy to seize the opportunity in this chaotic war situation, and even take the initiative, which is an exciting good thing in any case, but if you want to seize this opportunity, you need the naval attack aircraft group in front to complete the attack on Nahab to the letter, so after putting down Crist's phone, Admiral Larson once again picked up the navy's internal communication phone next to him and called through the E-2 "Hawkeye." "Colonel Knox, who commanded on AWACS:

"'Skull Banner' I am 'Tsunami'! As I said before, use your merciless bombs to completely wipe out Nahab!"

"'Skull Banner' understands that in five minutes, we will be attacking, and I will inform you of the good news as soon as possible!"

"I'll see!"

"Understood!"

Colonel Knox responded with firmness and force, as if he had victory in his hands at this moment, and in fact it was, and between the two phone calls from Admiral Larsen, the Navy's 3rd Air Tactical Strike Group under the command of Colonel Knox advanced another 30 kilometers towards Nahab,

During this period, the radar signals on the Iraqi side became clearer and clearer, and the electronic pods carried by the two EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare planes responsible for accompanying the support were able to settle the relevant spectrum information of the radar signal at the first time, and the electronic jamming pods on the outside were also connected to the power supply at this moment.

At the same time, the remaining six F-18A "Hornet" fighter-attack planes are also ready for combat, and after the EA-6B strikes the ground radar in a surgical manner, they will swarm up and use the bombshells they carry to make up for it.......... (To be continued.) )
