readx; Chapter 684 Let's weigh it first

If the sound of the three submarines cannot be detected in the aircraft carrier battle group, then if the sound of the torpedo entering the water cannot be found again, almost all the sonar soldiers in the entire aircraft carrier battle group in the United States can die, not to mention that the United States knows that China's submarines are powerful and has already launched an anti-submarine formation.

Therefore, once the torpedo entered the water and the engine started to start, the noise was immediately heard by the sonar crews in the aircraft carrier and other submarines, and with the sharp "torpedo" sound of these sonar soldiers, almost three aircraft carrier battle groups sounded the alarm in no particular order.

Hearing the sound of torpedoes, it can be said that the fleet commanders of the three aircraft carrier battle groups all had a sudden shock in their hearts, and when they came, they had already received a task, that is, a threat report on China's latest submarine, it can be said that the threat is very large, and the Pentagon of the United States has even given an acceptable loss report, that is, it can lose a few destroyers, but for China's new submarines, it must be extremely important to sink them!

Because although these submarines are very advanced, obviously, the number is certainly not very large, and they are not comparable to the Virginia-class nuclear submarines of the United States, so as long as these destroyers are killed, it is acceptable to lose a part of the destroyers, and then the United States has a way to take out the Chinese navy.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that although I had prepared in advance, I would be directly attacked when I was still so far away from China! And it came so suddenly! This has exceeded the imagination of the three fleet commanders, and they have even thought in their hearts that although China has advanced weapons and equipment, China may not dare to take the initiative to attack.

Who knows, the other party not only took the initiative to attack, but also so simply, but the direction in which this torpedo appeared was almost fatal! There are no missile destroyers around them at all, and even if there were, it would definitely be too late, and the torpedoes appeared directly less than 5 kilometers away from the aircraft carriers, the core combat strength of the aircraft carrier battle group, and within this range, there could be no other ships.

Because it is now an anti-submarine formation, the distance between the ships is quite long, so even if there is, at the speed of the torpedoes, it is impossible for these ships to move above the line of advance between the aircraft carrier and the torpedoes. That is, at the very beginning, their aircraft carrier was to be attacked by at least two torpedoes!

Almost simultaneously, the captains of each aircraft carrier began to order the aircraft carrier to start emergency evasion, and the phalanx and anti-submarine helicopters on the aircraft carrier quickly flew over, ready to intercept the two torpedoes, but after the two torpedoes were launched, they showed a speed that surprised them.

After the appearance of the two torpedoes, they quickly appeared above the surface of the water, where they could be seen with the naked eye, and the most important thing was not this, but their speed, which reached more than 120 knots almost instantly! What is this concept?! This means that the speed of these two torpedoes is at least 216 kilometers per oblique or more! At this speed, even a car on land can't run, let alone a torpedo.

You know, before this torpedo, although there was a Russian torpedo that could reach a speed of 200 knots, but the snow torpedo is a chicken rib, and the speed of most torpedoes in the world is probably more than 50 knots, and now the speed of this torpedo appears at such a close distance, and the speed can also reach 120 knots!

It's almost impossible to dodge, because at this speed, even a phalanx wouldn't be very effective, not to mention that the opponent could get into the water. Just when the commanders of the three aircraft carrier battle groups were a little desperate, they suddenly received a report from their own subordinates.

The opponent's torpedo suddenly fell into flames less than 2 kilometers from the aircraft carrier battle group, and just floated directly and quietly on the water, and the tail of the torpedo engine caught fire and burned directly, but the rest of the part floated on the water. In such a situation, all three aircraft carrier battle groups discharged personnel to go to check.

When they arrived near this torpedo, these professional personnel knew that they had only encountered torpedoes that were used for exercises, and that there were no warheads at all, and although the engines of these torpedoes had self-destructed, they were also of certain research value, and in the end they were all brought back by the officers and men of these aircraft carriers.

At the same time, the anti-submarine formations of the three aircraft carrier battle groups were frantically searching, but their search was doomed to be in vain, because there would be no effect at all, and the submarine that had fired the torpedo disappeared into the depths of the vast sea, and any of their detection methods had no effect at all.

The most important thing is that they have also received an order that if the Chinese government does not take the initiative to attack, they are not allowed to take the initiative to attack, and now the other side is not considered to be an active attack? This still needs to be determined by the Pentagon, but there is no doubt that none of them dare to directly use depth charges.

In fact, the three submarines located in the depths of the sea at this moment have all chosen the same direction, that is, they are located in the center of the US aircraft carrier battle group, and the bottom of the huge aircraft carrier, in a water depth of less than 50 meters, follows the direction of the aircraft carrier and moves forward synchronously.

At this depth, the water has almost become pitch black, and it is still a moving aircraft carrier, so there is no way to carry out other detections, and sonar will not play any role at all. Although it is said that there are also American submarines in the water, these submarines are also blind, and they have no idea where the opponent is, how to find it, and how to attack it.

The Pentagon, which received the report, immediately fell silent, the torpedo had been fished out, although it was said to be an experimental torpedo, but the Chinese flag on it was unusually conspicuous, the engine had burned out, although they had researched some things, but these things were useless, because they were almost the same as their own research.

The only thing that is useful now is that they know the number of these submarines, at least three of them, then there are no more, no one knows, but also know the performance of these submarines, which is already less than 10 kilometers away from the entire aircraft carrier battle group! Just as the opponent could appear less than 10 kilometers away from the Ali Burke-class at the beginning, it can also appear less than 10 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier, the core of the aircraft carrier battle group.

What if this attack was not a torpedo for exercises, but a real torpedo? In the position below the waterline, the aircraft carrier was attacked by two heavy torpedoes, and it was absolutely impossible to please it, even if it was unsinkable, it was good, let alone continue the attack.

In the Pentagon's emergency conference room, there was silence, and everyone was stunned by the combat power in front of them, although the other side has only one submarine, but the submarine has not just one, but many, the other side only fired two torpedoes at one time, what if it was 6 torpedoes at a time? And what if it was the latest Chinese YJ-anti-ship missile launched at this distance?

What will happen to this?

You don't have to think about it to know that the three aircraft carriers of the United States, along with dozens of planes on them, etc., will almost go into the depths of the sea to feed the fish! For the United States, this is probably a huge loss that it has not experienced since the Korean War! Neither in the Gulf War nor in the Vietnam War of that year had such huge losses.

They didn't know before, but now they know. "Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have to reassess China's combat effectiveness, there are not many such submarines in China, only three, but again, do we have a way to contain them?" Obama said, looking at the Navy officers below.

"At present, our weapons and equipment are outdated, underwater sonar has been effective, and the only thing we can expect now is the development of underwater radar. However, according to the progress of the relevant companies, although their underwater radar has a certain effect, the detection range is only 10 kilometers, and it is expensive. ”

"Isn't this a matter of being expensive or not, no matter how expensive it is, is there still an aircraft carrier that is expensive? I guess it's needless to say more about the question of whether an aircraft carrier is expensive or a radar is expensive, right? Although 10 kilometers is not far, it is better than being blind. ”

"We're going to put this in the back of the discussion, because we can't have a full-scale war with China, and what we're going to discuss now is whether we should get involved in the Vietnam incident, and if we do, what will happen if China attacks us?"

"We take the initiative?"

"What about the Thunderhawk?" With the question of an air force general, the scene immediately quieted down again, and they suddenly remembered that not only submarines, but also Thunderhawk fighters are still a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, and under the radar scanning of the United States, it can fly directly from the aircraft carrier of the United States, this is the only one! Not even America's own fighters have done such a thing!

"If we don't get involved, we also have an excuse, after all, Vietnam is not the Philippines and Japan, we need an excuse, Vietnam we can ignore, I don't care about those islands, what I care about is that we can't let China deter the Philippines or Japan, let them know that we can't deal with China's new weapons now."

"So, are we going to call the carrier battle group back like that?"

"No, since China is not attacking us, I mean, an announcement that all three carrier battle groups will be docked at a military port in the Philippines will not violate our original order."
