"Hey!

When a strong detection radar signal was scattered in the air again, Colonel Knox, commander of the US Naval Air Force that attacked Iraq this time, could not help but burst into a foul language, and at this moment, through the high-performance electronic computer on the E-2 "Hawkeye" early warning plane in which he was flying, he was able to determine that the unfamiliar radar signal intercepted was Iraq's target designation radar.

And where this kind of radar appears, dense anti-aircraft fire is usually deployed, thinking about the words of Crist, who came from the Air Force earlier, Colonel Knox is simply furious, where is this unobstructed avenue, it is simply a dangerous pit,

If it weren't for the unique comprehensive information processing capability of the "Hawkeye" early warning planes in the formation and the timely detection of abnormalities, perhaps their dozen or so naval fighters would have fallen into the trap of others and become the appetizers of the Iraqis.

After the phone was connected, Knox could no longer control his excitement, and almost complained about the situation to Admiral Donald Larson of the United States Navy sitting on the command ship "Blue Ridge".

After Admiral Larson heard this, his face did not show much due anger, but the corners of his mouth pulled upwards to reveal a chilling and strange sneer, as the commander of the huge fleet in the Gulf region, Admiral Larson actually has always had an unknown wish in his heart, that is, to take the lead in the Gulf War under the command of the navy;

This is because the US Navy is undoubtedly the most powerful of the major branches of the armed forces in terms of the number of participants, personnel allocation, and tactical literacy, and if the Marine Corps, which has a close relationship with the Navy, is included, it will be able to launch an all-round three-dimensional offensive against Iraq with its naval combat strength alone.

It is precisely for this reason that at the beginning of the outbreak of the Gulf crisis, the navy was very eager to take command of the war, and it was at this time that Admiral Larsen was appointed commander-in-chief of the navy in the Persian Gulf region, in order to preemptively occupy favorable conditions in order to start a competition for the commander of the theater. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, contrary to the expectations of all US Navy officers, the final theater command fell into the hands of the Army, and the formulation of core combat plans was controlled by the Air Force.

This made the navy extremely unhappy, but it was not to the point of dissatisfaction, as long as the balance of the status of several major services in the integrated command was maintained, it was not a big deal, but the bad thing was that the commander-in-chief, Admiral Schwarzkopf, devoted all his mind to combat operations and did not care about the balance between the services at all;

He handed over the power of formulating the battle plan to Colonel Christ, who was born in the Air Force, and Colonel Crist, who was arrogant and arrogant, insisted on what he believed to be to the end, and did not understand what emotion was, because of this, in the process of formulating the battle plan for the Gulf War, Colonel Crist's approval of several battle plans of the Navy was incomplete, so that in the end, all of them were vetoed, and even if Admiral Larson personally came forward, he was mercilessly rejected by Colonel Crist.

The navy, which was originally highly hierarchical, was very annoyed by a colonel's fingers, and then Cheng thought that this guy even kicked his nose in the face, not only did he not give face to the admiral, but he didn't even pay attention to the entire navy, what was this for? It was clearly a desire to marginalize the navy, recalling all kinds of injustices suffered by the navy since the Gulf crisis, coupled with the historical grievances between the navy and the air force, the navy completely broke out, vowing to drive the Air Force Colonel Christ, who had no one in his sights, back to his hometown..........

In the face of the Navy's attack, the Air Force, which has benefited from the benefits, naturally cannot sit idly by, and Admiral Schwarzkopf, who has always supported Christ, cannot watch his right-hand man be destroyed, so a series of war of words was fiercely staged, so that in the end, President Bush had to personally intervene to bridge the differences between the services.

In the end, under the coordination of the president, the navy was given a certain degree of independent command, and the proportion of tasks undertaken by the navy in the upcoming combat operations was also increased by 15 percent.

Although the matter has been calmed down, the Navy's heart has not been completely calmed down, especially Admiral Larson, who is the commander-in-chief of the Navy Formation, only feels that this is a major sacrifice made by the Navy for the country, because of this, he resents Christ to the extreme, and he has long wanted to find an opportunity to rectify this guy who has no one in his eyes, but Crist's ability is extremely strong and he is rigorous in doing things, and he can't find a flaw at all, so that Admiral Larson is not bored.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of the war, Christ, as the planner and chief director of the entire battle plan, made such a low-level mistake, and the safe passage that he had sworn to be safe became a dangerous route of death, almost killing naval aviation.

It must be that there is nothing to say, absolutely speechless, and the guarantee is embarrassing and ashamed, and it is very pleasant to think about such a scene, and maybe those hardliners will be able to make huge concessions to the navy in this regard, so that the plan formulated by the navy to carry out a landing operation off the coast of Basra is no longer a deceptive plan of strategic feints, but may become a real combat operation, so as to firmly hold the initiative on the battlefield in the hands of the navy...........

How could Colonel Knox have such a long-term vision as Admiral Larson, in addition to anger in his heart, he was angry, and seeing that the highest commander of his army did not speak for a long time, he was also a little breathless, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice:

"General, it is obvious that this is a serious mistake by the Air Force, it is no different from murder, it is simply an out-and-out trap, and we currently have only two choices, either avoid this route and bypass Nahab and continue north, or just take out this Iraqi air defense force and give the air force those bastards a resounding slap in the face.........."

At this moment, Admiral Larson, who was pulled back to reality by Knox's words, laughed even more intensely, and it seemed that Christ and the others, who had lost face, stood in front of him and asked him to humiliate as much as he could, but in the next moment, his eyes suddenly froze, and the murderous intent was suddenly revealed:

"The Navy will never avoid its enemies, it will only move forward, so you should know what to do!"

"I see, sir, I promise to wipe these daring Iraqis off the face of the earth, and I certainly don't mind slapping the Air Force a little harder..........."

Knox's strange laughter rang out unscrupulously, although Admiral Larson was not so exaggerated, but he was also full of confidence in this operation, that is, a few small fish that slipped through the net, and could not compete with the powerful US Naval Aviation at all, compared with the value, the wrestling behind it was what Larson was looking forward to the most, so he also laughed together, and then the two exchanged a unified caliber after this battle, and ended the call,

However, before Admiral Larson put down the confidential satellite phone in his hand, the blue confidential phone connected to the coalition headquarters on the side rang like a bell, Larson frowned, and then reluctantly picked up the microphone, and after a stubborn and unruly voice came into his ears through the communication waves, Larson's already frowning brows were tightly twisted together, and his face, which was originally smiling, was also shrouded in a gloomy frost at this moment:

"Colonel Crist, is there any latest order from the command?"

Admiral Larson's tone was extremely unkind, and Colonel Crist's heart was extremely unhappy with this, to be honest, he was also very unpleasant to Larson, a stubborn old man who was over the age of sixties, if he was extinct in normal times, he would not make this call in person, but today he can't,

Because he had just received news from the forward battlefield that the Iraqi missile forces that had previously attacked the "Normandy" contingent had been transferred to Nahab and were stuck on the offensive route of naval aviation, and in order to avoid unnecessary losses, he could only make this call himself, so Christ relieved his mind and said in a very respectful tone in his opinion:

"General, I have just received reliable information that Iraq has just deployed an advanced anti-aircraft missile system in the Nahab area, so I hope that you will give the order for the naval aviation units that are going to Baghdad to carry out the attack mission through here to change their routes, and wait for the Air Force 'Wild Weasel' electronic warfare attack team to clear the potential danger and resume ............"

“stop！”

Before Crist could finish speaking, Admiral Larson interrupted him very rudely, and before Christ could react, he roared angrily:

"Mr. Colonel, you also know that Iraq's air defense facilities exist in the Nahab area, but 24 hours ago, who said that before the operation began, the air force would open up an absolutely safe passage so that the naval air force could smoothly move north........?

"General, please listen to my explanation........."

"No, I don't want to hear anything!" Crist's words were interrupted by Larson again, "I only know now that your words make it hard for me to trust, since you Air Force can't eradicate it, then let our Navy lads do it, and trust them to do a good ..........job" (To be continued. )
