Chapter 103: The Fifth Fleet

January 26, a fine sunny day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info// free e-book download //
In the port of Gauler, the sun has jumped above the horizon, and the fisherman Raha has gone to sea early.
The early morning breeze was still heavy and cold, and the glass of the cockpit of the fishing boat was full of fog, and it was foggy today, and the bright searchlights went out, and the shadows were so good that you could vaguely see a few seabirds.
Raha leaned against the cockpit, steering wheel with one hand and a cigarette in the other, a little sleepy-eyed.
Raha is an old fisherman, since his grandfather, their family has been fishing for a living, at that time the North Soviet Union was still poor, they still use primitive fishing methods, fishing boats are still sampans.
In the past few years, Abyeh has become economically developed, and Raha has some spare money in his hands, and bought a second-hand diesel engine fishing boat, which can be regarded as a shotgun exchange, and his income has increased.
Raha is an experienced fisherman who always finds a school of fish and catches the most fish in his nets.
With the sound of the rumbling engine, Laha pulled his whistle in response to the lighthouse in the distance, and at this time, the sun was rising, the fog on the sea was almost gone, and the sea was rippling, and it was a good sunny day.
The fishermen below were already busy, and one of them shouted at Laha, "Laha, where are we going today." ”
Raha poked his head out of the cockpit, talking to a young man, Raha's brother-in-law, a very hard-working guy, Raha liked him very much, he and his wife had no children, so he planned to hand over the fishing boat to this kid when he was older, and pass on the fishing business.
"Juan, don't worry, follow me, we will definitely return home today!" Raha shouted, waving her arm.
At this moment, a blue-and-white painted ship came in the distance, and when he saw the marking letters on the hull, Raha changed color slightly. It is a patrol ship of the Coast Guard.
Raha slowed down, a little puzzled in his heart, he has been here for a long time, and he is also familiar with those people in the Coast Patrol, and when he sees that it is his ship, he usually does not intercept it, what is going on today.
The two boats were approaching, and the horn of the patrol boat was already sounding: "Raha, my fellow, this area of the sea is closed to traffic today. You'd better go back to Hong Kong first. ”
Laha was stunned for a moment, and his heart was even more puzzled, he also knew the captain of the No. 103 patrol ship on the other side, and he often drank together, otherwise he would not have said such a thing.
But Laha has been fishing for so long, and he doesn't know that this sea area is forbidden to sail.
I was about to use the communicator to ask why, but without warning, a long, startling whistle came from behind.
The sound was loud and pierced through the fog on the sea. It hurts people's ears.
At this moment, Raha was even more puzzled, as far as he knew, the port of Gauler was not a trading port. Usually there are very few large ships entering the port, so what's the matter with such a loud whistle?
Got out of the cockpit and was about to call the boatmen below to ask what was going on. Raha's gaze froze suddenly.
But I saw that behind the left side of the fishing boat, in the sea fog several nautical miles away, a large iron-gray boat slowly sailed out.
That's right. To Raha it was, it was a big ship, and it was a very, very big, indescribably big ship, like an island to him.
What the hell is going on?
In an instant, Raha's brain was also messy.
……
On January 26, when the world was still paying attention to the increasingly tense Israeli embassy incident, a shocking news quietly dominated the front page.
Secret news has long been exposed, saying that Abye has been secretly planning a naval fleet.
No, it can't be said that there is a following, but a direct result.
In the early morning of that day, many people witnessed and even photographed a large fleet sailing out of the port of Gauler.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Abyeh also issued a statement in a very cooperative manner, claiming that Abyeh had officially named the First Fleet the Red Sea Fleet and had set sail at the port today.
At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also announced the formation of the First Fleet.
Abye has a Red Sea Fleet of 46,000 men, including 28,000 marines, 18,000 marines, naval aviation, etc.
The main armament is one aircraft carrier "Black Lion", 4 "Nuba-class" missile cruisers, 12 destroyers of various types, 18 frigates, various supply ships, etc.
In terms of submarines, it also has 4 nuclear submarines and 12 attack submarines of various types.
The entire Red Sea Fleet, with the number of ships approaching fifty, has a displacement of more than three hundred thousand tons. The core of the Red Sea Fleet, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Black Lion, has nearly 70,000 tons of water.
At the same time, the entire Red Sea Fleet is also organized into six carrier-based aircraft wings, with 260 fighters of various colors, of which the main carrier-based aircraft are the "Blackbird" vertical take-off and landing fighter that was unveiled at the military parade, and the modified Blackbird-S fighter that is suitable for maritime operations.
……
As soon as such a formation situation was exposed, it instantly caused an uproar in world public opinion.
Some military experts claim that Abyeh's Red Sea Fleet is not even below the US Seventh Fleet, and that in the future, the strength of the US Navy will be greatly weakened and balanced in the hegemony of the oceans.
Many more are unanimous in their accusations of Abyeh's frenzied military expansion.
Take a look, in five years, Abyeh's army has expanded to 10 armies and 500,000 troops, and it is also a modern armored force, and it has the only mecha in the world.
As for the Air Force, Abye has been a fourth-generation aircraft from the very beginning, with extremely strong verticality, supersonic cruise, and no small number of equipment, the only difference is that it has not established an air base around the world like the United States, and it can quickly strike at any target in the world as soon as the order is fired.
But now, the emergence of the naval fleet has expanded Abyeha's strike capability several times at once, and the entire Middle East region and the Indian Ocean region are all within Abyeha's strike range, and the military threat theory has risen again.
……
Israel, Tel Aviv, Gerald and other high-ranking Israeli government officials are also paying close attention to the first trial voyages of the Red Sea Fleet.
That's right, Abye's government has declared that this is just a sea trial, but the devil believes you, you have all formed a formation, and you can directly enter the battle, and you will also test the sea, lie to the children.
"Abyeh has chosen to let the Red Sea Fleet out of port at this time. The intention is clear, but it is a military clamor that threatens us. At the meeting, Defense Minister Zamir said angrily.
Many people present have the same idea as Zamir, isn't this the one you Yang Tian played the most, he threatened Britain with nuclear bombs, threatened South Korea, and later threatened Eritrea, you are very good at doing this kind of thing.
Gerald frowned. When the news of the Red Sea Fleet's departure came, he never let go of his brows, and said, "Zamir, what do you think we should do?" ”
Zamir did not answer immediately, but a senior chief of staff of the Ministry of Defense said: "We also need to respond strongly, let our 15th commando team in the Gulf of Aqaba leave the port and cruise in the Gulf of Aqava." ”
Compared to the powerful Israeli army and air force, the navy has always been Israel's weak link. The total number of the navy is less than 10 thousand people, it has only a few corvettes, some missile boats, patrol boats. There are only three Dolphin-class submarines.
However, in the past few years, Israel has also stepped up its efforts to develop its navy. Originally. Israel has only three naval commandos, and now it has expanded by one, the 15th commando. It is stationed in the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea in the south.
Israel is a coastal country, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea in the northwest, and has many excellent ports, and the navy was mainly deployed on this side in the past. To the south, however, there is a narrow Gulf of Aqaba with only a dozen kilometers of coastline, which is too small to be smaller.
So there is no very good deep-water port here, I'm afraid it can't even fit an aircraft carrier, and this 15th commando is only equipped with a few new missile boats.
Zamir shook his head slightly, not knowing whether this chief of staff was kicked in the head by a donkey or what, how could he say such a stupid thing.
You sent the 15th Commando Team to cruise, did you plan to go toe-to-toe with the Red Sea Fleet?
Are you kidding, on one side there are several broken missile boats, on the other side there is an aircraft carrier attack group, this is no longer a gap between stones and eggs.
There is no need for Zamir to speak, and the finance minister on the side has already retorted: "This will not work, the difference in naval strength is too great, and we should not consider whether there is a possibility of war now, Abye has chosen to let the Red Sea Fleet leave the port at this time, perhaps for the purpose of clamoring for force, but now the development of things has not reached the point where a dispute is going to start, and we still rely on political negotiations." ”
In the opinion of the finance minister, now the other side is just letting the fleet out of the port, and there is no need to mess up the position, just thinking about war or something.
Gerald apparently meant the same thing, saying: "I believe that he will not dare to go to war with us, we are not Eritrea, and he will not compromise if he scares and scares." ”
You have a fleet, well, I don't, but I have an army stronger than you, an air force that is no worse than yours, you have missiles, I have it, you have nuclear weapons, I have it, in a word, who is afraid of whom.
Therefore, in Gerald's view, if Yang Tian wants to force Israel to compromise by relying on this means alone, he is really a wrong idea.
Israel is not Eritrea, and he Gerald is not Isaias.
And more importantly, the core of this incident is the technical secrets of the mecha, which Gerald is never willing to give up.
At this moment, the latest news came from the combat headquarters.
As everyone expected, the Red Sea Fleet, which sailed for the first time, sailed directly into the Gulf of Aqaba and lingered at the confluence of the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea.
This attitude is already very clear, and it is clear that it is a posture of driving into the Gulf of Aqaba at any time and giving you a happy posture.
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense.
Gerald asked, "Zamir, how likely do you think it is that Abyeh will go to war with us over this?" ”
Zamir pondered for a moment and said, "I don't believe that Abyej's side will go to war with us because of this. ”
Zamir's words were dead, which made Gerald slightly startled, and hurriedly cast an inquiring look.
Zamir said: "Now the core of the matter is this mecha technical secret, and now the document is still in Kaduli, in our embassy, Abye has only some scruples for the time being, so he chose to take other ways to negotiate with us." The Red Sea Fleet sailed only to increase its weight in negotiations. ”
"However, I believe that even if the negotiations are unsuccessful, Abyeha's side would rather damage its reputation, forcibly attack the embassy, or take some special measures, rather than start a war with us and start a war." Zamir said.
Everyone nodded slightly, indeed, now the things are still in the hands of Kaduli, and Abyeha is already in the hands, but people are afraid of international influence, so they plan to take the political route.
But because of this incident, if you start a war, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible.
For the sake of something that can be obtained by losing face, start a war, unless Yang Tian's head is also kicked by a donkey.
Gerald figured it out and felt a little at ease.
Now that we understand that Yang Tian will not start a war, but is just bluffing, then okay, let's do it against each other and see who can bluff whom.
"Help me get through to the President of the United States." Gerald said.
You Yankees also want mecha technology, so you have to show a little sincerity first.
The call was quickly connected, and Perez didn't seem to be surprised at all that Gerald would call him, and quickly smiled and said, "No problem, the Fifth Fleet can enter the Red Sea at any time!" (To be continued.) )
