The Americans are still very concerned about the movements of the Black Sea Fleet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The U.S. Navy has two major fleets, the Pacific Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet, in World War II, the Pacific Fleet had 1,3579 five fleets, and the Atlantic Fleet had 4,680 five fleets, but because of the later changes in the world situation, the Pacific Fleet only retained 37 two fleets, the first flight seems to have been rebuilt in 1998 or 1999, which was mainly to deal with the Persian Gulf, and the Atlantic Fleet retained 26 two fleets.

The Second Fleet is in the Atlantic, the Third Fleet is in the central Pacific, the Fifth Fleet is in the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf, and the Red Sea, the Sixth Fleet is in the Mediterranean, and the Seventh Fleet is in the Western Pacific.

Except for the Fourth Fleet, which is commanded by a two-star rear admiral, the rest of the fleets are commanded by a three-star vice admiral, and the fleet is commanded by the regional command and is divided into the Atlantic Fleet, the Pacific Fleet, the European Fleet, and the Central Command (which only commands the Fourth Fleet, which means that the Fourth Fleet has two layers of repeated command), and other task groups, and these four mission commanders are all four-star admirals.

The designation of the First Fleet already existed after World War II in 1qm, but it was reorganized into the current Third Fleet around 1973. The Coast Guard also operates with the First Fleet in the event of an emergency; However, such an emergency has never occurred.

From 1790 to 1798, the United States did not have a standing coastal navy at all, and only simple small boats were protecting the sea frontier as their own units, and later evolved into the coast guard, which is why the coast guard was mostly small boats.

The U.S. Navy, which is large, complex, and global, requires a large number of naval facilities to support its operations, and in addition to the west and east coasts of the continental United States, the U.S. Navy also has a considerable number of facilities both inland and overseas.

The unusual actions of the Black Sea Fleet caused serious concern for the US Sixth, Second and Seventh Fleets, followed by warships of the Americans and their allies along the way until the ships of the Black Sea Fleet left their jurisdiction.

The United States has also carefully analyzed the Black Sea Fleet's moves, and believes that it is unlikely that they will be strange, and it is likely that because of domestic contradictions and its own predicament, they will rush out of the Mediterranean Sea and go to Russia's Far East to join Russia's Pacific Fleet.

However, as a result, the pressure on Japan, South Korea, and the U.S. military became greater, so the U.S. Seventh Fleet also took action and mobilized the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier battle group to prepare to contain the arrogance of the Black Sea Fleet.

The Atlantic Fleet, on the other hand, incorporated the USS Washington into a battle group in advance and closely followed the development of the situation.

The USS Washington is one of the largest aircraft carriers in the world, built in the 80s, with a displacement of 980,000 tons, launched in 90 years, and served in the Seventh Fleet.

The aircraft carrier has a deck area 3 times the size of a football field, and the height including the bridge is close to 20 floors and reaches 81 meters. There are several cabins that can accommodate multiple crew members. The ship carries more than 90 F18 "Hornet" fighters, Super Hornet fighters, E20 early warning aircraft and helicopters.

Speaking of which, the Varyag is still a little smaller than the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Washington, after all, the Varyag is only a medium-sized aircraft carrier with a displacement of 570,000 tons, and it is still a semi-finished product.

Of course, the Americans did not send out the Washington and Kitty Hawk to prepare for war, but to show off their muscles, which meant to warn the Black Sea Fleet not to mess around, even if you flew the Soviet naval flag, you would not be able to provoke the Yankees.

However, how could Admiral Meilo, commander of the Black Sea Fleet, who had been engaged in confrontation with the Americans all his life, be afraid of such a formation? In the middle is the basically completed Varyag aircraft carrier, and it carries 50 carrier-based aircraft, 26 Su-33 carrier-based fighters, 20 Ka-28 anti-submarine helicopters, and 4 Ka-31 early warning helicopters.

At the bottom of the sea, there are two nuclear-powered submarines that come out together, and although they are not equipped with long-range ballistic nuclear missiles, they are not a force that the Americans can take lightly.

If you compare it carefully, the aircraft carrier Washington will definitely beat the Varyag aircraft carrier, just from the fact that there are twice as many carrier-based aircraft, you can see how behemoth the Washington is.

But once a real fight starts, it will be difficult to say what the situation will be, there are many accidental factors, and there is one point, the Americans do not intend to make a move with the Black Sea Fleet, in that case, it will be Russia and Ukraine that will be provoked.

Russia's nuclear forces should not be underestimated, the Americans dare not provoke him, and Ukraine intends to join NATO, which is very influential in NATO's eastward expansion plan, so the Americans are not willing to provoke Ukraine.

Under such circumstances, the American fleet played a surveillance role, and there were no provocations.

It was only after the Black Sea Fleet entered the Indian Ocean that such surveillance was relaxed.

But the South Asian countries are a little worried, and they don't know what these Russians are going to do.

At this time, the Military Commission sent a congratulatory telegram to Ye Fa, of course, through a telegram secretly sent by the embassy, which highly affirmed and praised his performance in this secret operation.

"General Ye, you have received another award for meritorious service." After Wang Luodan saw the telegram in Ye Kai's hand, he couldn't help but say with some emotion.

"Actually, there is nothing, it's just that they sent congratulatory messages and commendation orders, and it's not without purpose." Kai also saw this very clearly, and was not blindly optimistic.

"What do you mean?" Wang Luodan was a little puzzled.

"It's nothing more than three meanings." Ye Kai explained, "First, this matter is basically done, and they have expressed their approval of our work. Second, it is estimated that I will have to find a way to solve the problem of the use of this fleet in the future. Third, they wanted me to retreat from the rapids and not go into danger. ”

The meaning of the Military Commission is very clear, the current harvest is big enough, there is no need for Ye Kai to find any secret submarine base, so the risk is too great, there are too many uncertain factors, once something goes wrong, Ye Kai can't come back, who will feed this fleet?

Military spending will exceed a large margin, and this makes the Central Military Commission feel very difficult.

Although there is one more aircraft carrier that is basically completed, and there are twenty-two more advanced warships of various types, almost an entire fleet, but the money it costs is also quite a lot, and the navy is already a very money-burning service, and the Soviet Union has been dragged down, not to mention the republics whose economic situation has just improved?

"In fact, in terms of economic strength, we have enough funds to maintain the daily work of one or two aircraft carrier fleets, and from the perspective of practical needs, the complex situation faced by our country does need aircraft carriers to maintain." Ye Kai said to Wang Luodan, "Regarding the debate over whether to build an aircraft carrier, in fact, the high-level has already reached a conclusion, that is, there is no need to build an aircraft carrier. First, it does not conform to the state's strategic policy, and the current strategic policy is to go all out to develop the economy. Second, the state pursues a military strategic principle of active defense. Third, it is believed that the development of a navy and air force with strong comprehensive strength can make up for the lack of aircraft carriers. ”

In fact, in Ye Kai's impression, this policy has lasted for more than ten years, affecting the idea of naval construction for more than ten years, and the aircraft carrier system has been affected for more than ten years, but no country in the world needs aircraft carriers more than the republic.

"The new leadership believes that we have always advocated the path of peaceful development, and on the issue of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we have always advocated peaceful rise. The main role of the aircraft carrier is not the combat capability of the aircraft carrier itself, nor the aircraft on it, its main purpose is to serve as a combat platform for land, sea and air to deter other countries, such as European and American countries, the former Soviet Union, all for this reason, and we only need the defense of the coastal waters for a long time, and do not need to interfere with other countries, as far as our sea areas are concerned, incidents that occur anywhere can be completed by the bases in the near sea, which is destined not to need aircraft carriers. Ye Kai said, "But they didn't take into account that with the development of the energy economy, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, Xisha and Nansha, and even the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea are the focus of national contention. ”

"I seem to have heard my dad say that some people think that building an aircraft carrier doesn't make much sense." Wang Luodan's Lao Tzu is the commander of the navy, so he naturally has some opinions on this, "and he also said that after the aircraft carrier is built, it is easy to cause more regional conflicts, and it is better not to build it than this."

"This statement is even more nonsense, if you have an aircraft carrier, everyone will beat you, if you don't have an aircraft carrier, wouldn't it be more convenient for people to beat you?" Ye Kai scoffed at this matter, "The reason why I want to resolutely support the immediate construction of aircraft carriers is because advanced aircraft carriers are not built if they are not built if they are built, they have to go through practice, and the first and second ships are definitely not good. To use an inappropriate analogy, we are now like the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the eighties of the nineteenth century, with the money to build gardens but not to build warships, and the money to build office buildings but not aircraft carriers. It's to say that we don't have money, the money is in eating, drinking, and ushering in the send-off, the money is in the office building, as long as you squeeze a little, there are several aircraft carriers. Even if we start working now, we will not be able to build a better aircraft carrier until a few years later, and if we build it in a few years, then we will not be able to build more aircraft carriers in a dozen years, when will we be able to catch up with others! Since they are all to be built, it is better to build them early, and early construction can catch up with others as soon as possible. Besides, it would be a fool not to build an aircraft carrier for fear that it would become a target for someone else's attack, and wouldn't it be better if we simply didn't want an army, and the enemy would have no target? ”

Wang Luodan looked at Ye Kai, who was a little excited, and suddenly felt that he was very manly. Ming...
