Chapter 1248 Biting the Hook Six
The USS Forrestal, the former conventional-powered aircraft carrier of the US Navy, with a full load displacement of more than 90,000 tons, rushed from the Jakarta Naval Base in India to the southernmost waters of Saigon, Vietnam, with a huge fleet that shocked the world.
The arrival of this aircraft carrier battle group frightened the Vietnamese naval department into a state of panic, and it did not even have the idea of intercepting or carrying out a sneak attack. It is not just the Vietnamese Navy, but the navies of all countries in the world, except for the US Navy, who encounter this fleet will also lose their courage because of fear.
This fleet includes the most powerful cutting-edge equipment of the world's navies, and it is a dream-level lineup that all navies desire, and the Vietnamese government has always thought that the mercenary corps did not dare to fight on two fronts because of the situation in the African theater.
Three Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, four Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyers, four Orca-class 10,000-ton stealth drives, two Iwo Jima-class amphibious assault ships, six Megalodon-class battleships, six Spruance-class destroyers, eight Perry-class frigates, four Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines, two Akula-class attack nuclear submarines, and one Ohio-class cruise missile nuclear submarine, plus two Whitbay Island-class dock-type landing ships and four Wichita-class supply ships, what kind of striking power is this?
After the carrier battle group arrived in Vietnamese waters, three Megalodon-class battleships, with the cooperation of two Spruance-class missile destroyers and four Perry-class frigates, quickly rushed to the waters around Da Nang in southwestern Vietnam, ready to join another carrier battle group.
"Order all the guns of the three battleships to first load their shells with a conventional charge, and wait for my further instructions, our preliminary plan is to hit Gogong and Vung Tau on the left and right, clear a relatively safe sea area, and then bring the battleships close to the coast, use a large charge to fire, and directly shell the periphery of Saigon's city with naval guns, and use cruise missiles to hit the center and north of the city, communications officer, I want to ask Your Excellency the commander directly." said the fleet commander.
The center of Saigon is 46 kilometers away from the southern coast in a straight line, and the maximum charge of 406 mm naval guns is just enough to reach this range, that is, with the center as the dividing line, all the areas south are under the threat of naval guns. The Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft has been hovering in the air, directing specific directions for the shelling.
"My dear, Navy Commander Denis called and said that there is something important to report, you can go to the study to pick it up." Zhou Huimin came to the bedroom with the phone, Wu Chen was playing with the children at this time!
"War is not a good thing after all, and we must try our best to avoid leaving the international community with a bad image like the US government, which is arrogant and domineering and fights whoever it wants, regardless of the lives of the local people, and wantonly and arbitrarily abuses force, which is a great hidden danger to the future of the Golden Triangle Federation."
"Cam Ranh TV is a satellite television station with high ratings in Vietnam, you use the news channel to announce the war warning in one hour, listen, I give the Vietnamese people six hours to evacuate, yes, we don't want to see the scene of rivers of blood, although the war is ruthless, but the people are innocent."
"Tell the spokesman that the Cam Ranh Bay Military Base Command requires all Vietnamese urban residents to immediately withdraw from the city, and beyond the specified time period, the mercenaries will not give up the attack because someone is there, and they will die in vain." Wu Chen said calmly and did not leave the bedroom.
"Boss, I see what you mean, as soon as such a war warning is broadcast, the entire city of Vietnam will soon be paralyzed, or even become a dead city. Because we did not say exactly when the bombing of the city would be carried out, Vietnam's industry and commerce would also fall into a state of total stagnation, and even military logistics and ammunition supply would encounter great difficulties. ”
"As you said, war is ruthless, but there are mercenaries to do things, this war is for the national interests of the Golden Triangle Federation, you are also responsible for every soldier, even if you do something out of the ordinary, the international community will understand us a lot." Genesys said.
"Well said, said very well, Dennis, you have indeed appreciated the spirit of my instructions, the progress has been very rapid recently, the cooperation between us has become more and more tacit, inform the fleet, the shelling will start in seven hours, this battle will completely hurt the Vietnamese government, and the heart will fail." Wu Chen said with a smile.
Dennis is the naval commander of the mercenary corps, one of the most important military assistants, and the level between superiors and subordinates can reach a level where they can comprehend the connotation on their own without having to understand what they say too clearly, this is definitely the realm.
Why did Wu Chen have to attack the cities of Vietnam? Quite simply, cities are the product of industrial and commercial development, and they are also the foundation and lifeblood of the country's economic development, which concentrates the vast majority of enterprises in Vietnam, and the annual tax revenue is the main source and pillar of government finance.
For the Vietnamese government, this is a fatal move, the threat of mercenaries is not just to say and not to do, but to do, people have the ability to fulfill their promises, it is conceivable that as soon as the war warning is broadcast, all the cities must be panicked, money is important, but life is more important!
As a result, factories are not operating, shops are closed, and industry and commerce are in a depression. Without money, how can the government support this war? It is to go to the mountains to fight guerrillas, which also requires funds, food, clothing, shelter, transportation, weapons and ammunition, and it is difficult to move an inch without money!
But in the eyes of the international community, it is rare for mercenaries to do this, taking into account the humanitarian problems and warning them in advance, which will reduce the maximum casualties, and millions of refugees are better than millions of corpses, right?
"My dear, I have only now discovered the fact that you are indeed very suitable to be a politician, full of benevolence and morality, in fact, you must not look at the surface of everything you do, and you must not analyze every word literally, so you will be planted in the pit you dug." Zhou Huimin glanced at Wu Chen.
Wu Chen didn't carry her behind her back when he called, although this was a military secret, this was also her absolute trust and spoiling, although Zhou Huimin was sweet in his heart, but thinking of what this man said just now, he couldn't help but sarcastically mock him.
I don't know that I think this thing is a saint, and what he said is so sanctimonious, but if I really understand it, I'm afraid I'll have to spurt blood and die.
