Chapter 1079: Seventh Fleet

West of Malacca, 500 nautical miles.

The U.S. Seventh Fleet group rode the wind and waves and sailed towards Malacca at the fastest speed of the fleet.

On the bridge of the USS George Washington Don, Vice Admiral Hillwell is looking at the surveillance footage of a spy satellite on the video wall. He was the commander of the Seventh Fleet.

In the spy satellite surveillance footage on the video wall, the Philippine warship is sinking, and the sea is full of Philippine Navy soldiers jumping into the sea.

"This should be the most elite special forces unit in the Chinese Navy. Chief of Staff Thales said.

"You think so?" said Hillwell.

"If it's a terrorist, who's going to attack the Philippines? And is there such a powerful terrorist in the world?"

Hillwell said: "It's not a terrorist, it's a Chinese person." However, I can't believe that China has the courage to attack the Philippine military islands and reefs at this time, and even sank the Philippine frigate. ”

"I can't believe it, but it's the truth. Thales said: "As things stand, it seems that China is ready for war. ”

Wilshire said: "How can China, the world's largest developing country with a population of more than a billion people, dare to challenge us?"

"No, it's not a challenge, it's a standard declaration of war. Thales said.

Wilshire snorted coldly, "Their decision-making level must have a hot brain, and what the United States wants to see most is for China to be involved in a war." Hua Guo has always been very restrained, even if it is attacked, it swallows its anger. The Yugoslav embassy was a case in point, but now they couldn't help it. This is an opportunity given to us by God, the EU is in civil strife, but China has taken the initiative to start a war against the Philippines, as long as China is suppressed this time, then there will be no country in this world that is against the United States. ”

"Mr. Lieutenant General, are we continuing with the Beast Tamers?" said Thales.

Wilshire said: "Of course, if we continue to carry out the Beast Tamer plan, and if China takes the initiative to go to war with the Philippines, China will lose justice, and international public opinion will be on our side." Therefore, even if we attack Dagua Island by force, Hua Guo will not dare to do anything. ”

Thales said: "Yes, as long as we occupy Dagua Island, we will be tantamount to a thorn in the throat of Huaguo, and the economic lifeline of Huaguo will fall into our hands." ”

Wilshire picked up the communicator and said in a deep voice: "Attention all combatants! The Beast Tamer plan has begun to be implemented, all combatants are ready for battle, and we will take Dagua Island by force!"

A few minutes later, on board the aircraft carrier George Washington Don, a Global Eagle sprinted from the deck and flew in the direction of Malacca.

Immediately after, an electronic warfare plane soared into the sky. Eight hornets flew after it, escorting the Global Eagle to Malacca.

This is a standard operational process for an aircraft carrier fleet, with Global Hawk reconnaissance first, electronic warfare aircraft jamming enemy radar detection, Hornet scalpel attack, clearing enemy radar, and air defense facilities.

The fighter plane took off, and the bridge suddenly cut into war mode. Many staff members were processing information from warplanes, and the monitors also showed images of the flight of the aerial combat group, as well as reconnaissance footage from spy satellites. All of this is normal, nothing out of the ordinary.

"I estimate that in an hour we will be able to clear the radar and air defense facilities on Da Kua Island. As for other military targets on the ground, we will have to wait until our ships are resolute. Thales said.

Wilshire said: "China's navy does have some warships and submarines in that area, but in front of the Seventh Fleet, they are no match at all. How can a navy without a combat aircraft carrier fight us? Not to mention that we have F35s, and their fourth-generation fighters are still in a state of test flight until now, and they are no match for us, whether in the sea or in the sky. So this war won't be a very difficult one, and I think we'll be able to end it in two hours. ”

"Mr. Lieutenant General......" Thales stopped talking.

Wilshire looked at Thales, "Chief of Staff, what do you want to say?"

"Mr. Lieutenant General, we seem to have neglected one person, and his company. Thales said.

Wilshire paused slightly, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Chief of Staff, are you talking about Xia Lei and his Reimama Group?"

Thales nodded, "Yes, Charlei and the Reimama Group. A week ago, the Rehman Group test-flew their unmanned aircraft. At that time, our intelligence officer disguised himself as a reporter and asked him some questions, and he also witnessed the whole test flight process. ”

Wilshire sneered, "I know the result of that test flight, and that test flight of the Rehman Group was a joke at all." Their unmanned aircraft had a rudimentary design, had no bright spots to speak of, and the most ridiculous thing was that it actually crashed in the end. Chief of Staff, what do you mean by Share and the Reimaa Group at this time? Are you worried that he will disrupt our Beast Tamer operation?"

Some of the officers who were there laughed at once. The force of the U.S. Seventh Fleet could easily destroy the air defense facilities and important military targets of a medium-sized country, and even carry out decapitation operations against the enemy. With such a powerful force, how could it be something that a Xia Lei and Thunder Ma group could resist, let alone sabotage the Beast Tamer's operation this time.

"Mr. Lieutenant General, I suggest you take another look at the footage of the scene that our intelligence officers have brought back. Thales said.

Wilshire smiled and said, "Okay, no problem, I can relive the Reima Group joke once." ”

At Thales' behest, a technician quickly retrieved the CIA's stored footage.

In a large monitor, a rudimentary drone is hovering in the sky. It looks ugly and has no design aesthetics to speak of. It doesn't fly fast either, at best a little faster than a helicopter. It does not have a weapon rack on its body and does not carry missiles of any kind.

It is the new unmanned aircraft of the Lehman Group, Jing Ke.

"Haha!" one of the officers scoffed, "what is this thing for? Is it for wasting our missiles?"

"Shoot it with an anti-aircraft missile? Another officer laughed and said, "It flew so slowly, and it didn't carry any ammunition, I thought I could shoot it down with a machine gun." ”

In the midst of a mocking voice, Jing Ke suddenly fell from the sky.

"Hahaha...... Wilshire laughed out loud, "this is probably the funniest drone I've ever seen, it should be in the circus, not on the battlefield." ”

As soon as Wilshere's words fell, Jing Ke's drone smashed to the ground. There was a loud bang, and the footage of the video shook. The display that played the footage was filled with scorching fire, followed by a terrifying blast of explosions. How powerful was the blast wave? It flipped the person who shot the video to the ground, so much so that for a few seconds the camera was shot at the sky!

After a few seconds, the footage returned to normal, and the intelligence officer zoomed in closer, revealing a large crater on the display. This pit is big enough for a truck to take a bath in it.

No one laughed at the ugly drone anymore.

Standing here are all battle-hardened soldiers of the United States, and they are not fools, and everyone can see that this unmanned aircraft is actually a "suicide." It does not carry weapons and ammunition, as it is a mass killer in its own right!

Thales said: "Actually, I just got the information, and our experts have already analyzed it. The Jing Ke unmanned aircraft researched and produced by the Leima Group is actually a self-destructing unmanned aircraft, and its power is equivalent to several Tomahawk missiles bundled together, which is very terrifying. Our experts even suspect that this Jing Ke unmanned machine can carry out nuclear loading, and if that is the case, it is not an unmanned machine, but a nuclear bomb!"

Wilshire said, "Chief of Staff, are you worried that this kind of unmanned opportunity of the Reimaa Group to fight us?"

"Yes, I do have that concern," Thales said. Mr. Vice Admiral, do you think that Hua Guo has endured for decades and has not dared to go to war, so why did they have the courage to go to war tonight? Moreover, they knew that our Seventh Fleet was coming, but they still did so. ”

Wilshire said, "Chief of Staff, you're right to be worried. But I wasn't worried about any trouble, because the drone was flying so slowly that it couldn't get close to us. ”

"Oh no," the correspondent said suddenly, "Our pilot said they had encountered a Chinese fighter!"

"What?" Wilshire was dumbfounded.

The news was like a bomb exploding in the middle of the bridge, and everyone couldn't believe it was true, because until now the radar of the Seventh Fleet had not given any warning of the approach of enemy aircraft!

"No, it's an unmanned aircraft!" the intelligence officer's voice said, "An unmanned aircraft without any markings!"

A timely picture soon appeared on one of the monitors.

Four ugly unmanned aircraft were flying from the southern sea in the direction of Malacca, and they were arranged in a horizontal formation, and the distance between each unmanned aircraft was about 200 meters, which looked quite neat. This is the picture captured by the Global Hawks, quite clearly, they are only a few kilometers away from the air force detachment of the Seventh Fleet.

"They are the Jing Ke unmanned aircraft of the Lehma Group!" Someone recognized it, after all, they had just seen the video of the crash of the Jing Ke unmanned aircraft.

"How is this possible? Our radar can't detect them!" said the radar operator in surprise.

Thales stared at the four Jing Ke drones on the display, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't keep his peace of mind anymore. Radar can't detect it, you have to see it with the naked eye. But in modern warfare, such a situation actually means losing the war!

"What do they want to do?"

"Does Huaguo want to use four unmanned aircraft to drive us back?"

"Even if this kind of self-destructing unmanned aircraft has great power, but with such a slow flight speed, even if our radar can't detect it, when they fly closer, our machine gun anti-aircraft array can easily shoot them down!"

There was a lot of talk on the bridge.

Wilshire suddenly said, "Let our electronic warfare planes attack them and abduct them back!"

The order was quickly passed on.

PS: Thank you for the tip, thank you!
