The command center of the aircraft carrier "Baron John Young", the flagship of the First Fleet of the Eastern Union Navy.

At this moment, all the on-the-job personnel in various positions are busy, but they are busy and orderly.

The great leader, Führer Yang, is now sitting in the command center! No one dares to drop the chain at such a critical time.

Yang Weiping consciously did not casually interfere in the wartime command of the fleet commander, and even told the naval commander Shi Zhenhai not to interfere with others.

Through the porthole of the bridge, looking at the fighters taking off and landing on the flight deck below from time to time, Yang Weiping suddenly had a thought in his heart.

The medium-sized aircraft carrier under the feet of the British Navy's "Ark Royal" is modernized and refitted, and it is naturally more than enough to deal with India's "Virat". However, if it is compared with the US Navy's Kitty Hawk-class "Constellation" aircraft carrier battle group approaching this sea area at high speed, it is a bit inferior.

Cooperating with the Soviet Union to jointly develop a new type of aircraft carrier steam catapult was undoubtedly a very correct decision made by Yang Weiping at the beginning.

The Soviet Union's strong production capacity in the field of shipbuilding industry, even Yang Weiping has to admire the old Maozi who do have a set.

Take the current "Baron John Young" aircraft carrier as an example, it is no longer the second-hand obsolete goods that were sold cheaply by the British Royal Navy.

Not only the electronic systems and weapons systems have been completely replaced, but also the flight deck and hangar have been = improved, and more importantly, the working performance of the aircraft carrier's take-off and landing system has been comprehensively improved after replacing it with a new steam catapult device jointly manufactured by East and the Soviet Union.

However, even so, there is still a slight gap between the Baron John Young-class aircraft carrier and the Kitty Hawk class of the US imperialists.

It is necessary to speed up the construction of the Emperor-class heavy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier! Yang Weiping secretly reminded himself.

If it were not for the unexpected conflict with the US imperialists in the Indian Ocean, Yang Weiping might not have been so anxious about the construction progress of the Emperor-class heavy nuclear aircraft carrier. But in the current situation, Yang Weiping doesn't have to guess. I also know that even after this incident is over, the US imperialists will definitely transfer the capital ships of the Seventh Fleet to the Diego Garcia military base to keep an eye on every move of the Eastern Union Navy.

Compared with the Seventh Fleet of US imperialism, although the Oriental Union Navy has some advantages in the development of modern advanced ships, if it is about real combat effectiveness, it is not half a star.

Centennial Navy. That's not for fun!

This is because no matter how advanced a ship is, it also needs excellent naval officers and men who can match it to operate. Compared with the U.S. Navy, which grew up in the blood and fire of World War II, the Eastern Union Navy, which has been under the British Royal Navy for less than eight years, is still a rookie who has just developed.

In order to make the First Fleet's combined exercise more comprehensive in its tactics, Yang Weiping specially approved eight Jian-15B heavy carrier-based aircraft to carry light loads.

If it weren't for these eight "model goods" taking off from the aircraft carrier to help, the J-5 B2D light carrier-based aircraft carried by the "Baron John Young" and the Jian-15A taking off from North Andaman Island to escort the escort would really not have been able to frighten the old air force of the US imperialist navy rushing to support.

Although its comprehensive performance is infinitely close to that of the third-generation fighter, it still has not left the ranks of the second-generation aircraft that have been eliminated.

The U.S. Navy's F14A Tomcat fighter was replaced with the WS10-C export high-thrust turbofan engine provided by Huaxia. It already has the combat effectiveness of the later F14D.

As for the F18 Hornet, the main carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy, it is a third-generation advanced carrier-based aircraft that is relatively mature in all aspects, and it is not something that the strong five B2D can compete with head-on.

The pragmatic and truth-seeking spirit that the Americans have shown in some respects is something that Yang Weiping really has to admire. After confirming that the TF30-P-412 engine originally equipped with the F14A was indeed inferior to Huaxia's WS10, it was very decisive to place a one-time order for 200 WS10-C export models from Huaxia. It also chose to replace the original avionics of the F14A with the avionics system of the Huaxia J-14.

By May 1984, after GM industrialized the F110-GE-400 turbofan engine ahead of schedule, Grumman carried out a large-scale power replacement of all F14s in service. As a result, the F14A Tomcat is much more comprehensive than the same period in history.

Although Huaxia is getting the production rights of F14 and copycat the J-14 Raptor, which is a little stronger than the original product. However, the U.S. Navy still favors the improved F14D. All heavy carrier-based aircraft of the Seventh Fleet are now all F14D.

Based on this situation. Yang Weiping has a relationship with China, and specially purchased four domestically produced J-14 Raptor for training and use by the Eastern Union Air Force and Naval Aviation to understand the performance and tactical characteristics of the U.S. Navy F14D.

It is precisely because of this that the Qiang-5 B2D light carrier-based aircraft piloted by the Naval Aviation of the Eastern Union relies on its numerical superiority. In an aerial confrontation with the F14D from the Diego Garcia military base, there was no way to be too wolf-bèi.

By the time the eight light-loaded J-15B planes that ejected from the "Baron John Young" aircraft carrier joined the war circle in turn, the air superiority was basically tilted toward the Eastern Union Navy. The U.S. Navy had to send additional fighters from the Diego Garcia base again to support.

Yang Weiping, who has flown F14s in China, has a unique understanding of the F14D used by the U.S. Navy with replaced engines and avionics systems. For this reason, Yang Weiping decided to focus on F14D and F15. A new type of J-15 AB heavy fighter was designed.

This version of the J-15 is more powerful than the J-15 Flying Shark designed by Yang Weiping in his previous life. Whether it is the engine, or the fuselage construction materials, skin materials and wing materials, including the avionics system, they are far more than the old version. Even in terms of aerodynamic layout, there have been more advanced improvements.

It can be said that before the advent of the fourth-generation advanced fighters, the Jian-15A and B fighters could fully meet the requirements of the air superiority operations of the Eastern Union Air Force and Naval Aviation.

As for the research and development of the fourth-generation advanced fighter, Yang Weiping has already grasped it as a key project when he was director of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission in China. At present, the fourth-generation military advanced high-thrust vector turbofan engine WS15-TG-100 is in the final stage of improving the industrial mass production process. The research and development of the fourth-generation military advanced combat verification aircraft is also proceeding step by step.

According to Yang Weiping's prediction, in the early nineties, this J-20 fighter, whose aerodynamic layout is completely based on the previous American imperialist F22 Raptor, can basically enter the test flight stage of the demonstrator.

At that time, it is estimated that the new attack nuclear submarine developed in cooperation with the Soviet Union will also be launched into service, and the Emperor-class nuclear-powered heavy aircraft carrier will also be able to be unveiled. Coupled with the fourth-generation heavy fighter J-20, the long-range strategic bomber Y20B-H7, and the stealth strategic bomber H-8 Kunpeng, after entering the 21st century, the strategic limit of the Eastern Union Union may be guaranteed.

"Eagle's Nest, Eagle's Nest, this is Destroyer 110, we are now heading 105, speed 1100, altitude 4500, and we will reach the target airspace in nine minutes. ”

The shouting from the loudspeaker in the command center interrupted Yang Weiping's thoughts.

Rear Admiral Liu Yang, commander of the First Fleet of the Eastern Union Navy, subconsciously turned his head to Yang Weiping, who was standing in front of the porthole of the bridge and was smoking, to cast a asking glance.

"Look at me, what! You're the commander here. Yang Weiping smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry about me, you can command how you want, and I am not here." ”

Liu Yang didn't say a word, turned around and shouted into the communicator: "Destroyer 110, this is the Eagle's Nest, according to the predetermined plan, you will fly directly to the target airspace, and in three minutes, there will be fighters coming over to guide you." I'll send you the communication code right away. ”

"Eviction 110 received, correspondence number confirmed. ”

Navy Commander Shi Zhenhai suddenly let out a long breath at this time, looked at Yang Weiping with a happy face, and said: "Führer, the brothers of the Air Force have finally arrived in time, and now there is a good show!"

"This is a big test for the Air Force and Navy of the Eastern Union, and I hope everyone can pass. Yang Weiping looked at the night sky in the west, and said in a relatively flat tone: "Only after this pass can we be qualified to sit down and have a dialogue with the US imperialists on an equal footing." ”

"Please rest assured, we will not let you down!" Shi Zhenhai said with a resolute gaze.

This is not Yang Weiping's pretense of hypocrisy, but the fact that the air force and navy of the Eastern Union have not had a head-on collision with the world's real air force and navy since their establishment.

The U.S. Navy is undoubtedly the best litmus test. Through guò it, it can be tested how much gold is really in the navy and air force of the Eastern Union.

In order to shock the US imperialists, Yang Weiping can be said to have basically revealed his family background this time.

In addition to the Eastern Union Navy and naval aviation, which are engaged in a confrontation with the US imperialist navy and the Indian navy, Yang Weiping has also transferred some of the backbone forces of the Eastern Union Air Force.

The air formation that came to reinforce it, in addition to the J-15A long aircraft formation, also had a J-10 formation and a J-7 flying leopard formation, as well as two large air tankers.

In addition, a series of large aircraft used for electronic warfare, such as the 85 large early warning aircraft and the Air Police, large electronic reconnaissance planes, large flying submarine patrol planes, large electronic jamming planes, and large electronic countermeasures planes, will all make public appearances in this conflict and confrontation.

These big treasures of the Air Force are all indispensable special aircraft of the Air Force that Yang Weiping originally developed based on the Yun-10A platform. There are some models that were not even unveiled at the military parade of the founding of the Eastern Union of Eastern Union.

Although there is still a way to go for these large planes to form real combat effectiveness, this does not prevent Yang Weiping from taking this opportunity to bluff the US imperialism and the Soviet Union. (To be continued......) I1292
