Chapter 1124: Hegemony!
At 12 noon on August 1, the aircraft carrier battle group stationed at the military base in Guam departed. The Stars and Stripes of the Pavilion www.biquge.info Hunting in the Sea Breeze, and heroic Marines stand on the deck of an aircraft carrier with rifles in hand, staring at the southwest with a majestic look.
There is the direction of the city of Koro, the capital of the new country.
The new country has become a stone in the face of US hegemony.
At least in front of these American GIs, a new country is no different from a pebble. At the sound of the White House, they will not hesitate to board the assault boat and reenact a "desert storm" on the beaches of Koro.
As the right-hand arm of the United States, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and the US Navy ships formed a sailing formation in the waters west of Guam, and the fleet included the US Navy's next-generation aircraft carrier "Ford" and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's Ise helicopter carrier.
In addition, there are the navies of Australia, South Korea, and Singapore.
Except for the Philippine country, which has defected to the Star Ring trade, all of the five Asian brothers responded to this military exercise. Whether they want it or not, the navies of the four countries can be said to have given enough face to this big brother across the Pacific, and pulled the most elite naval forces to the western Pacific.
For a time, the entire western Pacific Ocean was turbulent.
Anyone can see that a storm that has been brewing for a long time is about to be cathartic.
About 40 modern warships formed a battle formation on the sea, starting the first round of maritime target shooting exercises in the 19-year Asia-Pacific military exercise.
Dozens of target ships were pulled out to sea, and with the flagship's order, an orange-yellow rain of bullets covered the target sea area in an instant, engulfing the fleet of the "imaginary enemy" and tearing it to pieces with a devastating force.
At the same time, more than a dozen Tomahawk missiles dragged tail flames from the missile frigate and accurately hit the target more than 300 nautical miles away.
F-35 and F-22 carrier-based planes took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier one after another, and the milky white plumes of smoke weaved a net in the air. More than a dozen flight squadrons were dispatched in unison to practice medium-range air combat and anti-ship operations in the air.
The noise of gunpowder raged in the western Pacific, and the otherwise calm sea was stirred up by rolling waves.
The expressions on the faces of the representatives of the various countries standing in the audience showed frightened expressions, and the expressions on their faces wavered slightly.
It is clear that the U.S. Navy has shown more power than they expected. Although they have received a lot of benefits from Transwarp Trade, although Transwarp Trading's global power grid plan has put their country's economy on a rocket...... However, in the face of power, everything is a floating cloud.
If there is not enough power to protect it, wealth can become a sin.
Iraq and Afghanistan are living examples.
The drums in the hearts of the delegates in the audience have begun to beat whether it is time to reconsider diplomatic relations with the new country. And the Earth Defense Alliance, is it wise to rush into it?
The representative of Ecuador, in particular, was like being splashed with cold water in his face.
The signal released by Transwarp Trade to build a second space elevator overwhelmed the Ecuadorian government, so much so that they withstood the pressure of neighboring countries and the United States, and hugged Transwarp Trade's thighs with 12 points of enthusiasm, giving the transpacific undersea transmission cable a green light.
In hindsight, it seems like a dangerous and wrong decision......
While the representatives of various countries were thinking about their own affairs, the officers of the Combined Fleet standing in the flagship were in high spirits.
In the entire aircraft carrier battle group, the aircraft carrier, as the fist of the entire battle formation, cannot free up valuable space to load C4ISR equipment, so the flagship is generally held by a missile frigate. And the commander of the fleet, if nothing else, is generally held by the person with the highest rank.
Hogg, who served as the commander of the fleet, handed over the command of the aircraft carrier to the deputy captain, and was standing on the missile frigate at the moment, looking at the wreckage in the distance from afar, and the feelings of a great power in his chest were stirring.
Perhaps it was the overwhelming rain of bullets that awakened his self-confidence, perhaps because of the frightened expressions on the faces of the delegates of various countries, or perhaps because he remembered the "political mission" that the White House had assigned to him before the military exercise, he looked at the adjutant next to him and gave orders with an arrogant expression.
"Applying to the new country for transit, the exercise entered the second stage. ”
Both orders were given at the same time.
In other words, whether the new country agrees or not, the United States, the combined fleet, will sail over the waters of the new country.
Hogg wondered what the reaction of the new Congress would be.
He didn't think that Jiang Chen would give in so easily, but he also didn't think that Jiang Chen would make any outrageous moves at this time.
After all, this is a five-nation combined fleet with more than 40 modern combat warships! All resistance that is beyond our strength is tantamount to using our mantis arm as a vehicle!
As for the glorious record of Star Ring Trade in annihilating more than 100 ships in the Philippines with two Guardian-class ships, Hogg didn't pay attention to it at all. No one knows better than him what the situation of the Philippine Navy is, the retired coast guard ships of the Japanese junior brother can be held in the palm of the hand by those monkeys as capital ships, and the fishing boats are directly pulled to the sea to make up the number, no matter how much the fleet of this level is annihilated, it is not a good thing.
However, the adjutant's reward was beyond his expectations.
"The new country rejected our request and designated the northern territorial waters as a military exclusion zone. ”
Slightly stunned, after coming back to his senses, a wave of anger suddenly rushed into Hogg's heart, so that his clenched fists burst out.
What a military restricted area, really when I have no one in the United States?
The navy of the United States cannot go anywhere it wants? Whether it is the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, or the South China Sea, where is it not going sideways! The navy of a big country that crisscrosses the five seas and seven seas will not allow a small country to lose its prestige!
His anger was quickly suppressed by him, and he saw Hogg order with a calm face and a cold expression.
"Pass my order, adjust the course to the south by ten degrees, and the exercise continues!"
"Yes, sir. ”
The adjutant took the order and left.
Military restricted areas?
Hmph, I want to see who dares to stop the American fleet from exercising the "right of freedom of navigation"!
The Combined Fleet began to change course and move in the direction of the territorial waters of the new country. The so-called transit application is only a formality, not even an application, but only a notice. Whether the new country accepts it or not, the combined fleet should go wherever and wherever it goes.
The expressions on the faces of the delegates of various countries gradually became more and more exciting.
The previous target shooting on the high seas could only be regarded as the American fleet standing in power, and whether the shells were put on a pile of broken copper and iron, or hit the hearts of the new country, depended on how the people of the Star Ring Trade reacted.
And the reaction of Transwarp Trade, this is the focus of their attention.
Although they didn't expect the frigates of Star Ring Trade to come out and cross the front of the Combined Fleet, if Star Trade did nothing and let this United Fleet pass by in front of their doorstep, then their relationship with the new country would almost be over.
A country is not an enterprise, and economic and trade cooperation is the foundation of diplomatic cooperation, but it is not only economic benefits that are considered in a country's diplomatic strategy.
Not only the representatives of the countries standing on the US warship, but also China and Russia are watching the western Pacific and waiting for the response of the new countries.
Further is the abyss.
Taking a step back is hell.
The situation in the Pacific is more dire than ever, and so is the choice faced by the new nation.
This step determines the ownership of the hegemony, and at the same time determines the national fortunes of the new country.
The whole world was waiting for Jiang Chen's reaction. (To be continued.) )
