Next chapter

The international situation seems to have calmed down in recent times, and there seems to be little big news except for the inexplicable start of overseas oil fields in China and the renovation of several large thermal power stations in China in order to meet the growing demand for electricity! The turmoil in the Middle East has subsided a little, and Lucia is struggling with the economic crisis.

If there is any exciting news, I am afraid that the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower will return to Norfolk Naval Base after a six-month mission, and the world's largest aircraft carrier military port has once again gathered five aircraft carriers, attracting global military fans to drool!

At present, there are a total of 11 aircraft carriers in the United States, among which the USS Washington is stationed at the Yokosuka Military Port in Neon Kanagawa Prefecture, and is always on guard against the movements of China while protecting their little brother Neon; the home port of the Carl Vinson and the USS Reagan is Bremerton, Washington, but it is mainly active in the Middle East, maintaining the control of the United States' control over international oil security; the USS Stennis is based in San Diego, California, to protect the security of the Pacific Ocean; and the USS Lincoln is stationed in Everett, Washington State.

The remaining six aircraft carriers—the USS Enterprise, the USS Nimitz, the USS Eisenhower, the USS Roosevelt, the USS Bush, and the USS Truman—all call homeports at Naval Base Norfolk, Virginia.

However, because these aircraft carriers often have to carry out missions all over the world, it is not uncommon for multiple aircraft carriers to gather at Norfolk Military Port! In the memories of these military fans, the most famous few times are that at 17:30 on July 2, 1997, five nuclear-powered aircraft carriers were moored in the harbor, and the USS Steanis, the newest Nimitz-class aircraft carrier of the US Navy, returned to port to join the queue of the USS Washington, the USS Roosevelt, the USS Enterprise, and the USS Eisenhower. In 1992, although there were also five aircraft carriers in Hong Kong at the same time, not all of them were nuclear-powered aircraft carriers at that time!

Then came December 20, 2012, five aircraft carriers, a large number of amphibious assault ships, and large dock landing ships docked at the docks of Norfolk Naval Harbor for Christmas, and the aircraft carriers gathered here were exactly the same as today: the USS Eisenhower, the USS Enterprise, the USS Truman, the USS Lincoln, and the USS George W. Bush.

This time, in addition to five nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, there are also five Ticonderoga-class cruisers: Leyte Bay, San Giacinto, Normandy, Monterey, Anzio, and Vera Bay.

There are also 21 destroyers headed by the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Arleigh Burke, which is equipped with the Aegis combat system, the amphibious command ship USS Whitney Hill, and 12 attack nuclear submarines led by the USS Jacksville, as well as many amphibious landing ships, supply ships, and other supporting ships.

Looking at this long battleship formation that can hardly see the tail, I am afraid that all countries that want to challenge the hegemony of the United States will have a sense of powerlessness, the world now has a total of 22 aircraft carriers, and the United States accounts for half of them! And they are all the most advanced and powerful aircraft carriers, don't look at the Norfolk military port There are only five, even the eleven aircraft carriers of other countries combined may not be able to fight!

After all, China's Liaoning is only a training ship, Lucia's Kuznetsov is backward in design, Britain's Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales have not yet been officially commissioned, France's Charles de Gaulle is not bad, but unfortunately there is only one, and the remaining aircraft carriers of Italy, India, Thailand, and Brazil are just a few things! The combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the fleet of the United States at all! Such a fleet may only be defeated by aliens, right? Maybe the aliens may not be able to win, at least in Hollywood films, the soldiers of the United States have beaten the poor aliens countless times!

Milliken's major media published this news on the front page one after another, taking aerial photos of the Norfolk Naval Base, and the behemoths that represented the most powerful military projection capability on the earth made every Milliken citizen feel endless pride in their hearts! As long as these powerful warplanes did not sink, the hegemony of the United States would be unshakable!

The photos quickly spread around the world through the Internet, and the young Lucia sighed and re-opened the old photos of the Red Navy, trying to find a trace of the glory of the former empire from there, but looking at the rusty ships in the current naval fleet, they let out a silent sigh, the Red Navy probably will never come back.

The proud gentlemen of the British Empire pouted their lips disdainfully, these are far from our parades at the beginning of the last century! But can you still find the fleet that covers the whole ocean for the parade? Or maybe the next parade will be held in the Queen's bathtub!

The neon Heisei otaku applauded the strength of their father's country, and at the same time, which of these ships would be the most beautiful if they became ship girls? Is it the black and straight Reagan or the three-attributed Eisenhower? Or the Washington of the royal sister?

Don't be afraid of the conspiracy of the Arabic Communist Party, we are a democratic regime, and the mighty fleet of Milican will protect us!

However, domestic netizens have become silent, indeed, China's economy has grown by leaps and bounds in the past ten years, and the country's GDP has surpassed Neon to become the second in the world, and the gap between it and the United States is getting smaller and smaller!

But the scene in front of them made them completely sober, the United States is still that powerful country that is almost desperate, and then look at their poor training ship, there is still a long way to go to surpass the United States!

"Hey, damn it!, why can you all go clubbing on the shore and have a drink and hook up with those sluts, but I can only stay in this cramped observation room on duty!" Sergeant Enleko watched depressedly as his comrades walked across the deck and hugged the enthusiastic girls.

Is there anyone going to attack us here?" Nhleko shrugged, pulled out his latest iPod, tucked his headphones on, and listened to the music of his favorite band, Rhapsody from Italy, on the console, which fascinated him with the gorgeous fusion of classical and heavy metal.

As night fell, Enhleko rubbed his sore neck and looked out the window, oh my God! What the hell is this? He swiped to his feet, and his iPod fell to the ground, only to hear the lead singer of Rhapsody still howling hard, "under-the-rain-of-a-thousand-flames" (to be continued). )
