Chapter 783 is the beginning (I)
If it weren't for this attack, I'm afraid even the Chinese government would not have imagined that a submarine loaded with countless advanced weapons and its own performance would burst out with such terrifying combat effectiveness after a sneak attack! It can be said that the entire Japanese Navy, close to the average naval force, has been wiped out in this way, although it is said that the Japanese Navy now has a lot more naval ships left than the number of destroyed, but the 22 ships that were killed this time can be said to be the most advanced batch of ships in the entire Japanese Navy.
And these ships were directly blocked in front of their own homes, and without even firing a single shot, they were directly sent into the sea to feed the fish. Moreover, the losses were extremely heavy, although the water depth of the port was not very deep, and it could be easily salvaged, and even some large warships could not be completely sunk, but looking at the hull that had almost become a pile of scrap metal, there was no need for any repairs at all.
Moreover, not only is there no need to repair, but it is also necessary to spend a huge amount of money to re-salvage, and then sell the salvaged ships directly as scrap metal, and this must be careful of the missiles, bombs, etc. that have not been detonated among the silent warships, so to speak, the entire salvage work is extremely complicated, and it is simply impossible for the entire Yokosuka port to resume normal operations in two or three months, not to mention, even an oil depot on the shore has been directly detonated.
"It seems that we are underestimating China's submarines and the powerful combat power that comes with these new technologies." The mood of the U.S. government is the most complicated now, and his own subordinates can be said to be the most powerful little brother, and they were killed like this? And they were unreasonable, and they were beaten directly at the door of their own house, and their boss, who signed a security treaty with his younger brother, found that he couldn't do anything.
At least for a while, there is nothing that can be done, which is what all the countries in the world are watching, and this is a huge blow to the prestige of the United States in the world.
"Anyway, we can't back down in Australia."
"We have urgently called a batch of new anti-ship missiles to transport to Australia, although the volume is slightly larger, the power is also a little weaker, but the maximum range has reached 300 kilometers, but the maximum speed has reached Mach 6, but the number is a little small, only 40." A military logistics officer quickly flipped through the information in his hand and said, "But the major arms companies have quickly begun to apply new technologies to our new warships. The David Taylor Naval Ship R&D Center has submitted a new type of destroyer, which has enhanced air defense, especially laser interception weapons against hypervelocity missiles, in addition to high-speed, stealth, and powerful firepower delivery capabilities, and is equipped with the latest submarine sonar, which can filter a considerable part of the submarine noise."
"Well, not only the Navy, but also the Air Force, all of them have to step up research and development of new technologies." Obama nodded and said.
After the meeting ended, there were Obama, Dennis, and Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in the conference room.
"What do you think about the situation in Australia?" Although it seems to the outside world that being able to run for the position of president of the United States seems to be very, in fact, in terms of views on some things, the president of the United States may not be more far-sighted than his own staff. Even a pig can be the president of the United States, although this sentence has sleeves, but it also shows from the side that the huge staff team hidden behind the president of the United States, almost everything will be analyzed and then concluded, and what the president of the United States needs to do is to choose the best plan and then adopt it.
In fact, the best plan has been given, just need to sign and adopt, of course, this is the president of the United States in peacetime, and all the American presidents who have left their names in history also have their own unique vision. Of course, this is not to say that Obama is a fool or an idiot.
"Mr. President, we cannot compromise on Australia." Dennis said dryly.
"Explain?" Obama said two words directly, there are no outsiders here, and there is no need to hide the evil.
"Quite simply, although it is very likely that we will suffer a lot of losses in Australia, even the biggest losses since the Second World War, but these losses are not unbearable for us, and perhaps, if we lose the war, we will lose our prestige in the world, but these are not important, on the contrary, I think that now we need a state of unity as a whole in the United States, just like after the 911 incident." Dennis said with a serious face.
As soon as Dennis's words came out, Obama and Mullen both looked at Dennis in surprise, ignoring the eyes of the two people, Dennis said very simply: "Mr. President, please forgive me, maybe Mr. President, you are about to step down, but I think there are some things, it is not okay not to do it, and don't you think, Mr. President, that when we announced our full involvement in the Australian war this time, the domestic opposition was not very serious?" There were also protesters, but there weren't many people protesting, were they?"
"What do you mean?" Obama said with some surprise.
"Quite simply, ordinary Americans feel these pressures, and they know and know what our country needs. It's not that they don't understand anything, so this time no one objected, they all knew that if the status of the United States as a superpower did not exist now, many of their interests would be lost, and these ordinary people are also very smart, so at this time, they are not very opposed, although the loss is heart-wrenching, but sometimes, the necessary loss and the necessary blood are worth it, sacrifice, sometimes it is inevitable! Dennis's face was serious.
Obama immediately fell silent, and Dennis's words moved him, because he had only obtained a document two days earlier, and his popular approval rating had risen by a considerable amount, not as good as when he was campaigning, but it was also higher than the embarrassing figure of 50. It's better than the previous approval rating of only 40.
Mullen on the side did not express any opinions, but he was still a soldier in the end, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying that politicians are the darkest, not in history
I don't know how many soldiers died at the hands of politicians, but Mullen also knew where he stands, so he didn't say anything.
"I agree with Dennis that sometimes, it's the blood of the people that makes them sober." Seeing Obama's gaze projected, Mullen spoke directly, without any hesitation.
"In that case, let's prepare to intercept the enemy's fleet." Obama is also simply.
Time advanced rapidly, and the U.S. Navy, which received the order, naturally did not hesitate, and the two aircraft carrier battle groups immediately began to bulge forward, blocking the way of the battleship battle group of the Shiratori. The entire battleship battle group of the White Bird is completely composed of T800 and T1000, and the combat ability and execution ability of the entire fleet are undoubted, and there is no need for internal communication between these T-series robots, and the communication system between these T-series robots allows them to directly contact each other.
In fact, it is not so easy to go to the port of Darwin, first of all, the port of Darwin is above Indonesia, the East Timor-Leste Islands and Papua New Guinea, if you want to detour, then you have to detour directly from the strait between the east of Papua New Guinea and New Zealand, in that case, it is completely located in the east of Australia, and there is the main main defense direction of the US Navy, this road has to detour very far, But it's a lot safer comparatively.
Another way is to go directly through the South China Sea, the Strait of Malacca, into the Indian Ocean, and then detour from the western part of Indonesia to the western part of Australia, and arrive at the port of Darwin, so there are many detours, but again, Singapore, the Philippines and these places have American military bases, which means that the entire fleet will be covered by US Air Force fighters, and it goes without saying how dangerous this road is. Then the last path is what the current battleship Shiratori has chosen.
Then directly from the east of China into the Pacific Ocean, and then from the east of the Philippines to the Pacific Ocean, directly to the south, through the Maluku Strait, that is, through the strait in Indonesia, and then directly to the port of Darwin, in fact, it is not difficult to see from here why China's international marine environment is so bad, why in the South China Sea and the East China Sea to not give an inch. Because the entire Chinese outlet to the sea can even be said to be surrounded by American military bases.
The United States has military bases in South Korea, further north, Japan has military bases, and then all the way to Japan to the south, the Ryukyu Islands, and then to Taiwan! Taiwan's current attitude is ambiguous, but even if there is no Taiwan, then the Philippines will go south, and there is almost a Taiwan between the Philippines and Japan's Ryukyu Islands, which is within the combat radius of fighter jets. In the south, it is connected into a line, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, etc., plus the blockade of the Strait of Malacca, so to speak, all the outlets to the sea in the whole of China are blocked!
This is the so-called first island chain, open the world map and take a look, this is what the United States has been trying to block China, Australia's Darwin port is the second island chain of the United States as a support for China's increasingly powerful naval power, to provide support for the first island chain, regardless of geographical knowledge, open the world map and look at it at a glance, how dangerous China's situation is.
