Volume 7 Chapter 976 Sinking the 'Kirishima'

readx;

The second air battle in the Persian Gulf finally came to an end in the midst of a comprehensive decline in US strength. www.biquge.info As for Doha, the capital of Qatar, although it is only more than 30 kilometers away from Al Udeid Air Base, it is already like two worlds.

The fleet of the Joint Air Force has fully mastered air supremacy over the Qatari peninsula. The Somali Strategic Air Force, which has learned the lessons of the past, is watching from the sidelines, so that the Americans do not dare to act rashly.

The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier battle group, which cruised in the Persian Gulf, also returned to the Fifth Fleet base in Manama, the capital of Bahrain, after the air battle was completed, and the carrier battle group was then transferred out of the Persian Gulf. For some time, with the defeat of the air war in the Persian Gulf, the power of the United States in the Persian Gulf will be effectively suppressed and weakened.

Most of the Western public opinion is silent about the results of the air war in the Persian Gulf, and a few of them also talk about it in passing, as if there is some taboo. The rest of the media mainly reported on the Sofrance War, and the Western media, which controlled the mainstream public opinion in the world, tried in vain to reduce the impact of the US air war defeat by not reporting on it, but other countries were different.

Not to mention the Third OECD, the two big countries, Russia and China, have opened special columns in major media to report on the air battle in the Persian Gulf, and even broadcast on national television that a competent commentator commented on the advantages and disadvantages of the tactics of the two sides in the air battle in the Persian Gulf.

The victory of the Third OECD in the Persian Gulf was immediately followed by the Third OECD Council working with the member of the royal family in Qatar who had already betrayed Crown Prince Khalifa, and the Third OECD would prop up a 'close' regime in Qatar.

…… In the White House, the black president's face is already a little more tired and haggard, although there is a makeup artist who can do some useful modifications to his appearance at any time, but the sense of depression revealed in a person's spirit and spirit cannot be changed by makeup.

Just now, at the US National Security Conference, the black president was hit again, and according to his wishes, the Persian Gulf War was lost, but the United States could not lose, and the United States still had to ensure its vested interests in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf, and also to ensure that the United States' influence in the world would not be weakened by the war. According to his thinking, the United States chose to ignore the outcome of the air war in the Persian Gulf, that is, not to admit defeat or the victory of the Third OECD, to choose a state of stalemate to continue, and then wait for time for the United States to reorganize and move back to the losses caused by the defeat in the air war in the Persian Gulf.

In the inaugural speech of the black president and many subsequent policy decisions, he has always chosen a different strategy from the previous Bush administration, for example, in foreign policy, he chose not to directly intervene militarily, and to use military means as a last resort to completely complete the global strategy of the United States and safeguard the interests of the United States. However, the air battle in the Persian Gulf was like a slap in the face, and he had no choice but to choose a path similar to that of Bush's political axe and continue to maintain the state of US foreign war.

However, unlike Bush's political axe, Bush's political axe took the initiative to launch a global war on terror to seek profits, while he had to maintain a limited war to maintain the interests of the United States from loss, and this was much more difficult than Bush's political axe.

One doesn't care about anything else, as long as it can fight, it will fight to the end, as long as it can seek benefits for the United States. On the other hand, it wants to reduce foreign wars in order to recover the negative impact of the United States in the international community because it wantonly launches wars against other sovereign countries, and it also hopes that the interests of the United States will be safeguarded or even more sought in ways other than the means of war.

At a time when the complex diplomatic axe that requires a balanced balance has just been implemented, the Persian Gulf War led by the Third OECD has put the US political axe in an embarrassing position. The defeat of the Persian Gulf War undoubtedly leveraged the foundation of the United States' 'global hegemony'.

At the National Security Council, several representatives of the black president's cronies proposed measures in response to the current defeat in the air war in the Persian Gulf, which he proposed, were opposed by several committee members.

The reason is that if the United States chooses such an attitude to deal with the situation in the Persian Gulf, it will likely lead to the occurrence of a third air war in the Persian Gulf.

The United States lost the first Persian Gulf air battle, and the second Persian Gulf air battle the United States lost again. Do you want to lose again? How much international influence does the United States have that can be discarded in wars that it has lost time and time again? Moreover, in the two Persian Gulf air battles, the United States lost more than 100 fighters, half of which were the most advanced F-22 fighters, and in less than a month, the United States lost more fighters than in the Afghanistan war, the Iraq war, the Kosovo war, the Gulf War, and many other wars combined. The direct economic losses alone exceeded $200 billion, and the indirect losses are expected to exceed $500 billion.

Until the United States is unable to find an effective solution to the threat from the Somali Strategic Air Force, continuing the contest with OECD III in the region will only cause greater losses, unless ...... Unless the United States intends to wage a full-scale war.

An all-out war not only represents the participation of the sea, land and air forces, not only represents the participation of more and larger military forces in the war, but also represents an all-out contest in the political, economic, and other fields. And in the two air battles in the Persian Gulf, the global anti-American front saw the 'weakness' of the United States, and even if a full-scale war was launched, it is unknown how many countries are willing to join the United States and how many countries will openly support the Third OECD.

Most importantly, in the face of an all-out war launched by five countries, even the United States will lose control and dominance of the war, and such an outcome will easily spiral out of control and lead to nuclear war.

If it had been before, these national security councilors might not have thought so. But two years ago, the U.S. military in Afghanistan was subjected to a nuclear attack, and in the current war in Sofranca, both sides have even used tactical nuclear weapons. The current international situation seems to have changed from what it used to be after the two air battles in the Persian Gulf. At this time, the United States should not choose those 'bold' plans and tactics.

Soon after, the US Congress rejected the Air Force's proposal to purchase an additional 200 F-22 fighter jets, on the grounds that F-22 fighter jets were no longer suitable for the current way of air warfare, and the procurement of such an "outdated" fighter would only waste taxpayers' money.

However, Congress passed another bill submitted by the political axe, that is, to increase the appropriation of $50 billion to invest in the "Dawning Goddess" program to develop the United States' own "nuclear-powered warplane."

The 'Goddess of Dawn,' a secret research program originally aimed at developing a new generation of US strategic reconnaissance aircraft, has been taken seriously by the US political axe and Congress after experiencing the air battle in the Persian Gulf and the overwhelming superiority of the Somali strategic air force over the US air force. According to the original 'Goddess of Dawn' development plan, many of the data of the Goddess of Dawn strategic reconnaissance aircraft are the same as those of the Somali 'Divine Eagle' fighters, but one is a reconnaissance plane/bomber combination, the other is a fighter/bomber combination, the other is a scramble pulse engine used, and the other is nuclear power, and the gap between the two is still very large. The United States is now in dire need of a new type of aircraft that can compete with the Somali "Condor" fighters and urgently needs to maintain the leading position of the US Air Force.

In the White House presidential office, in front of the black president sits the secretary of state, the former first lady of the United States political circles.

At the national security meeting just now, the secretary of state did not choose to support him, so his will was not adopted. The black president wants to find out what the secretary of state really thinks and thinks, and he intends to convince her.

The outcome of the conversation, however, was bizarre: instead of convincing the secretary of state, the president was convinced by the secretary of state.

There is no other reason for persuasion, there is only one, that is, the current out-of-control Sofa war is the first thing the United States has to face, otherwise a nuclear war is just around the corner, once a nuclear war breaks out, everything is false, and whether it can survive is the most important thing. The US political axe should now focus on the war in the Sofrance, and in the Persian Gulf, the third OECD can only affect Qatar at best, while in other regions, the third OECD does not have the strength to drive the United States out and replace it.

At the end of the meeting, the black president held telephone meetings with the heads of state of other major powers, and the discussion was about the Sof-France War, during which the black president did not talk about how to solve the aftermath of the Persian Gulf War, but mentioned how the major powers should cooperate and jointly shoulder the responsibility of maintaining global security in such a major international event that threatens global security.

The war in the Persian Gulf was an opportunity for the United States to minimize the negative impact of the outcome of the air war in the Persian Gulf. In a crisis that could lead to nuclear war, the United States could recoup some of the points it had lost if it performed well.

And just when several major powers were discussing how to intervene in the Sofrance war to resolve the nuclear crisis, an astonishing news came again.

…… North of the Persian Gulf, 60 nautical miles southwest of the port of Aden in Yemen, a silver-gray destroyer is breaking the waves.

This destroyer has a sun flag on it, which represents the identity of the destroyer -- the original one. This is a guided missile destroyer, the Kongo-class 'Kirishima' missile destroyer.

At the time of France's attack on Somalia, the Kirishima tried to get close to the mainland of the Somali peninsula, but was threatened by a large number of Seagull attack aircraft of the Somali naval aviation and had to linger outside Somali territorial waters. But when France dropped two neutron bombs on Somalia, the destroyer immediately received an order from home and hurriedly left to the northwest.

said that no one can match my ability to understand current affairs, and if I know that it is not good, I quickly put on an attitude that I am playing soy sauce.

As the captain of a destroyer, Kazuo Yamamoto felt very humiliated by this, and he used to be the commander of the Imperial Navy, and even the Navy of the United States. But being scared away by the invisible movements of the 'enemy' is too humiliating.

"Discover the target...... Coordinate...... 20 knots, sail to the northwest! ”

At an altitude of 35 kilometers above the Kirishima and obscured by clouds, two Somali Strategic Air Force 'Condor' fighters were like ghosts staring at the Kirishim.

"'Cobra' calls 'Snake King'...... 'Cobra' calls 'Snake King' and publishes the goal...... Request to fire. Complete! ”

"Permission to fire, over!"
