Chapter 558: The Pacific Plane Collision Incident

Five years ago, the Kangaroo Nation did not have aircraft carriers and had no plans to do so, and their largest warship was the Canberra-class strategic projection ship. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info And now, the Kangaroo Navy has not only added a Canberra-class strategic projection ship, but also an aircraft carrier with a displacement of 60,000 tons, and these are all contributions from the United States.

As the world hegemon for more than half a century, the people of the United States have made very accurate judgments in their strategies for dealing with potential enemies. From the moment Lu Yang settled on Penglai Island, the people of the United States realized that in the western Pacific, China had one more fulcrum, and although this fulcrum was small, it would threaten the power of the United States in the region.

In fact, from the beginning of the construction of Penglai Island, to the establishment of the navy, and then to the demarcation of Huaxia as the seventh war zone, the power of Penglai Island is expanding. Along with it, China's strategy in the Pacific Ocean began to change, and the first and second island chains of the United States could no longer blockade China, and it was only a matter of time before the Chinese navy moved eastward.

According to the judgment of the Pacific Command of the United States, the Mi army has been unable to effectively restrain the development of Penglai Island, and without a war with China, the Mi army has been unable to cut off the connection between Penglai Island and the mainland, which has seriously affected the Asia-Pacific strategy of the United States. Now, the only means available to the United States is to blockade Penglai Island on all sides.

In response to the rise of Penglai Island, the Mi people loosened their shackles on Fuso and increased their garrisons in Hawaii and Guam, while to the south, the Mi chose to bolster the military strength of their allies, the Kangaroo State. In 2017, the United States sold two Burke-class guided missile destroyers to the Kangaroo State and began building its first aircraft carrier, which was officially commissioned in October last year, becoming the Kangaroo State's most powerful naval force.

With this naval power, the Kangaroo State has become the undisputed hegemon of the Southwest Pacific.

"The people of the United States are guarding us, and they are worried that the kangaroo country will become the second Fuso." Lu Yang sneered.

The United States supports the Kangaroo Navy, not for charity, nor for the friendship between the two countries, but to use them, and naturally does not want them to be wiped out by Penglai Island.

In this matter, the people of the United States do not approve of the Kangaroo State threatening Penglai Island by force, because everyone knows that it is useless.

The Kangaroo Government also knows, but they can't ride the tiger. At a time when the whole country is united in hatred and hatred, the government must make a gesture in order to win the hearts and minds of the people. At the same time, the Kangaroo Nation is also guarding against Lu Yang's sneak attack, and their fleet has been cruising 400 kilometers away from Penglai Island.

"Send aerospace fighters to warn them." Lu Yang thought about it, understood the intention of the Kangaroo Country government in his heart, and said excitedly.

Penglai Island's air force is the most peculiar in the world, it is very small, only two fighters, but it is very powerful, because both fighters are unique air and space fighters. Those who know it know how powerful these two fighters are, so since their appearance in the Somali War, no plane dares to get close to the sky over Penglai Island, even if it is the United States Air Force, it is also evasive of Penglai Island.

After receiving the order, the two Hai Dongqing planes immediately took to the air, and it only took three minutes for the aerospace fighters to approach the aircraft carrier formation of the Kangaroo Country.

"General, the radar system found that the target was flying at high speed from the direction of Penglai Island, and the preliminary judgment was that it was an aerospace fighter from Penglai Island!" Strong's lieutenant walked briskly and handed him the information.

Strong glanced at it and ordered with a blank face: "Let our Super Hornet take off and go to intercept the fighters of Penglai Island!" ā€

The adjutant suspected that he had misheard: "General, you mean that we sent the Super Hornet to intercept the opposing side's aerospace fighters?" ā€

Strong glanced coldly at the adjutant: "Do you have any questions about my orders?" ā€

The adjutant saluted and immediately went to deliver the order.

"General, you're taking too much risk in doing this!" Martin Coole, the captain of the USS XN, learned of Strong's order and hurried over.

Strong still had that poker face: "Rear Admiral, I am the commander of this fleet, now you can do what I order." I think in the army, you should have learned to obey your superiors! ā€

Martin Coliff saluted him: "Your Excellency, I do not question the meaning of your order, but I hope that you will think about it for our young men in the Navy before giving orders. You let them drive the Super Hornet to intercept Hai Dongqing, which is tantamount to death! Everyone knows the difference between the two fighters! ā€

"Rear Admiral Cliff, I am the commander of the fleet, and naturally I will think about my men. At the same time, I am also a vice admiral of the Kangaroo Country, and I am responsible for this country! Strong shouted, "The despicable Chinese have looted our country's wealth and shamelessly threatened us, and now, the other side has no scruples about sending the air force to expel us!" If we don't react at all, will this country, and its people, still be able to trust us in the future? ā€

Martin Coliff was stunned for a moment: "However, if you know that you are not an opponent and move forward, that is not a brave ......"

Strong said coldly: "Don't worry, the people of the United States are 200 kilometers away, and the Chinese people dare not mess around." Sending planes to intercept is just a symbolic action, don't I know that the Super Hornet is not Hai Dongqing's opponent? ā€

At Strong's insistence, six Super Hornets flew off the deck of the XN aircraft carrier and headed northwest.

"Team 1, please note, the target is coming at Mach 3!" The 6 Super Hornets that took off received an alert from the AWACS aircraft.

"Oh my God, that's a lot of speed!" Lewis Eisen, the captain of the first squadron of carrier-based aircraft, exclaimed that the Super Hornet they flew was the world's first-class carrier-based aircraft, but the top speed did not exceed Mach 2, which was too slow compared to their opponents.

"Attention, everyone, the target is about to appear! Coral, they're in front of you on the left! Lewis reminded his comrades.

"It's been discovered, boss!" The pilot, codenamed Coral, replied, "It's big, bigger than the B52 bomber, but they can cruise at Mach 3!" ā€

"Cheer up, our opponent is an aerospace fighter, a monster capable of flying into outer space. Their maximum speed is over Mach 24, don't be fooled! Lewis said, "Don't chase them, we just make sure they don't get close to the carrier!" ā€

"Boss, what if they open fire?" The pilot, codenamed Ostrich, asked.

Lewis said: "No, our allies of the United States are more than 100 kilometers away, and they are ready to meet us at any time, and the Chinese people dare not open fire." ā€

"Boss, if we open fire, can we shoot down these two big guys?" Sango's cynical voice came.

"Sango, forget this thought, we must not fire first!" Lewis snapped.

"I'm just kidding, sir." "Hai Dongqing can accelerate to more than Mach 10 in an instant, and with our AIM-120 medium-range air-to-air missiles, they can't catch up with them at all......"

Just when the Kangaroo Nation carrier-based aircraft team was waiting, the speed of the two Haidongqing dropped down, from Mach 3 to Mach 0.8, which is comparable to the speed of the Super Hornet.

"The target slowed down, what do they want to do?" Lewis was puzzled.

"Be careful, don't let the other side get close to the aircraft carrier formation!" Lewis receives the order!

"Yes!" Lewis shifted the plane and leaned towards a Hai Dongqing.

The Super Hornet is about 18 meters long and has a wingspan of less than 20 meters, which is an inconspicuous little man in front of Hai Dongqing, who is 58.6 meters long and has a wingspan of 62 meters. However, after receiving the order of the fleet, 6 Super Hornets and 3 were in a group, and they approached Haidongqing and built a defensive line in the air.

"It worked!" Lewis screamed in his heart.

Under the strict control of the Super Hornet, Hai Dongqing failed to break through the defense line and became farther and farther away from the XN aircraft carrier.

"The Chinese really don't dare to do it!" Lieutenant General Strong below breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, the Huaxia people haven't left yet!" Martin Coliff is acutely aware.

Hai Dongqing adjusted his direction and flew towards the aircraft carrier formation again. Its nimble movements were an eye-opener for Lewis and others.

"What do I see, the air ballet?" The coralite shouted.

"Oh my God, how can they turn like this, it's not scientific!" The ostrich cried loudly.

Lewis had solemn eyes, and just now he saw the plane he was defending that was one size smaller than the Airbus A380 turn 180 degrees in an incredible action, which completely violated the common sense of flight.

"Could it be that the aircraft manufacturing technology of the Chinese people has reached this realm?" Lewis was inexplicably panicked in his heart, "The other party hasn't accelerated yet, obviously waiting for us, what do they want to do?" ā€

The 6 Super Hornets steered, accelerated, and finally caught up with 2 Haidongqing.

"Everyone be careful, I think there must be a conspiracy among the Huaxia people!" Lewis reminded his comrades.

2 Haidongqing are constantly approaching the aircraft carrier formation, and the other 6 Super Hornets on the aircraft carrier formation are ready to take off at any time. As for Lewis's squad in the air, they are already very close to the opponent.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

Less than 10 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier formation, the two Hai Dongqing suddenly accelerated, and at the same time, their fuselage swung, instantly approaching the Super Hornet not far away. In an instant, 2 Haidongqing swept by, and the wings were like a sharp scalpel, cutting off the Super Hornet wings next to them.

Within 5 seconds, Hai Dongqing accelerated to Mach 10 and quickly disappeared into the western sky.

"Bang ......"

Lewis heard a loud bang, like a bird that had lost its wings, planted in the air, and it was only a few seconds before he realized that his right wing was broken!

Not only Lewis, but among the six Super Hornets, only Coral's plane survived because it was a little far away. (To be continued.) )
