398 Fleets of Passage
The slightly blowing sea breeze with a hint of fishy smell is coming, the calm sea surface has seabirds flying over from time to time, how the silent and beautiful picture makes people linger, except for the sea with some dark shadows of the deep blue, there is no other wave, anyone who sees this beautiful scenery will choose to stop and watch, the beauty of nature at this moment at a glance.

It's just that the next moment, the huge steel giant ship appeared on the other side of the sea and air, the steel giant ship broke through Poland in the bow of the ship set off a five-meter-high wave, but this spectacular scene did not attract any attention, the high fluttering rice flag is enough to make the world amazed, after a lapse of seventy years, the powerful Eagle Task Force once again appeared on this surface calm but hidden turbulent sea.
Two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers with a displacement of around 150,000 tons look at each other at a base distance of 12 nautical miles, and beside them are a dozen escort fleets that are obviously several circles smaller, and under the warm sea level, there are formidable escort nuclear strategic submarines, and on the deck of the aircraft carrier, the steel artwork neatly arranged is even more chilling, this scene has made the people of the Eagle Kingdom wait for 70 years, and it seems that only such a huge fleet can revive the glory of the Great Eagle Empire.
"Thank you, Lord, that I have once again commanded the world's most powerful naval fleet in my limited life." Admiral William Leggs, the former deputy chief of staff of the Admiralty, who visited Australia with the Prime Minister from the home of the Eagle Country, was now standing on the aircraft carrier command bridge and looking at the sea and sky from afar, but his thoughts had long since drifted away.
Vice Admiral Patton Landes, who was appointed chief of staff of the task force next to him, said with the same sigh, "Yes, thank the Lord, that only his glory can shine on the whole world." ā
The daily exclamation did not arouse the concern of the surrounding staff officers, and they did not even hear it, because the entire fleet leadership, including William Leggs, seemed to be crazy, and they lamented the future of this fleet every day, as if they could not express their inner excitement without this, and of course, the officers of these fleets were also excited, after all, no soldier could refuse to command an entire aircraft carrier battle group in the world to fight.
"Look, I thought the amphibious assault ship Ocean, which could carry a full 30 helicopters and 800 soldiers for assault operations, was the most beautiful warship on the planet, but now I look at it, it's just an inconspicuous little bit." After stepping out of the bridge command room, I saw that there were huge escort ships all around.
They include two 35,000-ton arsenal ships escorting two aircraft carriers, four 25,000-ton air defense cruisers, 12 missile destroyers, plus the 21,700-ton amphibious assault ship Ocean, the 21,500-ton amphibious landing ship Poseidon Son, which was drawn from the Eagle Country, and two 25,000-ton comprehensive supply ships.
"yes, that's incomparable, even this Nelson stealth attack arsenal ship is much bigger than the Ocean, look at its majestic body, I love it to death." Rear Admiral Josson Amos, commander of the first aircraft carrier of the task force, came up at this moment and said jokingly.
After the joke, Patton Landes, who was in charge of the actual command of the fleet, asked, "Is the matter of the fleet's passage through the Suez Canal settled?" ā
"It has been settled, and the Egyptian side welcomes the passage of our warships through the Suez Canal and will provide the necessary fresh water and food supplies along the way." Amos immediately handed over a document.
"Very good, I can't wait to see the people cheering and jumping when this huge fleet returns to the Eagle Nation." Seeing that everything was going on in an orderly manner, William Legge nodded with great satisfaction, he liked to enjoy people's cheers more than the daily affairs of the fleet, which is why the fleet was handed over to the command of Paton Landes, he was just a mascot sent by the Eagle Nation Government, in fact, the same as the actual operation of the fleet, it was just a layer of the Eagle Nation Government's skin.
What they need is the huge repercussions brought by the fleet's return to the Eagle Country, and they don't care about the Navy sailors and other fighters provided by the Australian side as many as 18,000 in the two aircraft carrier battle groups, and even in the vital naval aviation formation, the Eagle Country people did not interfere too much, but allowed the Australian side to send pilots to pilot and even take to the air to fight for the Eagle Country, and they only paid less than 3 billion Eagle pounds and some other necessary expenses every year.
This deal may be the most successful in the history of the Eagle Nation, because the Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers still under construction are not even half of the current displacement of the two aircraft carriers, but the construction cost is as high as 2 billion Eagle pounds, not counting the maintenance costs in the later stage, but the same price is only enough to buy twenty A101 super fighters, let alone build such a huge fleet.
"Of course, but before that, we need to conduct a week-long naval military exercise in the waters west of Syria, and this is a great opportunity to make an appearance!" Patton Landes was talking about an order for a military exercise issued by the Admiralty of the Eagle Nation to the task force, perhaps in the eyes of the top management, the most important purpose of this fleet is to enhance the status of the Eagle Nation in the international arena and strive for more benefits, in addition, it is estimated that the people in London will not be able to think of more reasons to use this fleet.
"Damn, it's here again, why don't we just drive back home to receive more compliments?" William Leggers said hatefully, to be honest, if it weren't for this show, it is likely that he would have stayed in his office in London and enjoyed all the good things, rather than standing here blowing a disgusting fishy wind.
"Why not? The best way to use this fleet is to find an occasion for it to make a great appearance, and it would be even more wonderful if we could take off fighter jets from the deck of an aircraft carrier to attack some military targets in Syria. "Paton Landers doesn't think so, this is a weapon that a man will love, in his eyes, it is used to fiercely attack the enemies of the Eagle Country, if it only exists as a deterrent weapon, it is simply disappointing.
"Okay, I don't want to argue with you about this, order the fleet to clean up, and in two days a few of the most distinguished guests will come on board the fleet to inspect it, bring out your best side, and don't leak anything for me, understand?" William Leggers had no idea what the muscular man was thinking, but luckily, he just needed to know what he was thinking. (To be continued.) )
