Chapter 1299 Killing Everywhere Three

It is precisely because Wu Chen's soul travels through time and space that the global pattern has undergone great changes, which inevitably affects the trajectory of history, perhaps this is called the butterfly effect. The mercenary corps, which is only nine years old now, has purchased 14 aircraft carriers from the US government, which is a legend in itself.

Since the end of World War II, no country has been able to buy US aircraft carriers, which is a state-level military secret, and even the dismantling of aircraft carriers by shipyards must be watched by the US Navy to prevent the theft of secret technology.

In addition to one aircraft carrier, the USS Oriscani, which was converted into a maritime gaming ship, the other thirteen aircraft carriers were converted into active service in the mercenary corps navy, forming thirteen aircraft carrier battle groups, three of which are Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, which is equivalent to creating a huge vacuum for the US Navy's attack lineup.

To be precise, the US Navy has built a total of nine Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers so far, lost three and replenished one, which is now equal to seven, and all aircraft carriers that are about to be decommissioned and have been decommissioned and have not been dismantled have all been sold to mercenary regiments.

Wu Chen's plan was to take advantage of the Iraq war to carry out a sneak attack in the name of the Iraqi government and destroy at least two or three aircraft carriers of the US Navy. According to his memory, for this war, the US government deployed four aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf alone and two in the eastern Mediterranean, and the 300 Navy Super Hornet carrier-based aircraft on it alone are not something that Iraq can deal with.

"Force is definitely not the only factor in victory, the use of strategy and tactics is equally important, boss, there is such a secret killer weapon as electromagnetic pulse bombs, and the seventy-two Granite anti-ship missiles carried by six Golf-class conventionally powered ballistic missile submarines will definitely receive unexpected results."

"This supersonic anti-ship cruise missile, equipped with a 750-kilogram semi-armor-piercing high-explosive warhead, even if it is hit by one, the US aircraft carrier will not be able to withstand it, not to mention that this time it is an intensive launch, and the difference between the front and rear is only a few tenths of a second." Denis said with a smile.

The Granite supersonic anti-ship missile is one of the killer features of the mercenary corps navy, which is specially used to deal with aircraft carriers and large warships.

The aircraft carrier's own defense is very weak, completely dependent on the cruisers, destroyers and frigates around it, as well as the nuclear submarines hidden under the water, in fact, it is not destroyed, it is not easy to destroy an aircraft carrier, once the anti-ship cruise missile with 750 kilograms of high explosives hits the aircraft carrier, it is enough to paralyze its combat effectiveness, which is enough for war.

The U.S. Navy's ultimate defense system, that is, the Aegis combat system, is the protector of aircraft carriers, but no matter how powerful the system is, it cannot be prevented from dealing with more than a dozen Mach 2.5 anti-ship missiles at the same time.

The reason why the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group is now invincible is that it has not encountered an opponent that can match it, in other words, it always bullies small countries that are inferior to others, and it will not have any glory if it wins, and if it goes to war with Russia, the anti-ship missiles made by the former Soviet Union alone can shatter this myth.

When NATO bombed SAARC, the mercenary regiment conducted an experiment, and it turned out that the Aegis combat system could not effectively intercept multiple supersonic anti-ship missiles, which is also the main reason why the navy is confident in the attack, facts speak louder than words!

"The U.S. Navy is the most powerful navy in the world, there is no doubt about it, don't look at only seven Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, its powerful attack power, any country's navy is ashamed of itself, strictly speaking, the mercenary navy is copying and learning other people's technology, and has made upgrades in details, really when it comes to scientific and technological research and development capabilities, we still have a long way to go, which takes time to precipitate, people's foundation is too strong, we can't compare at all."

"It is precisely because the opponent is much more powerful than us that I have to make this decision to use the method of intensively firing anti-ship missiles against the US aircraft carriers, these six submarines are equivalent to one-time consumables, and they also come with the lives of hundreds of Iraqi fighters, and the loss is not small."

"If your naval command underestimates the strength of the US Navy, then there is a great possibility that this mission will be lost, the Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyers and Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers equipped with aircraft carrier battle groups are equipped with the Aegis combat system, which is also the crystallization of the US Navy's high technology, the Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine, comparable to the Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine model, not to mention the anti-submarine patrol aircraft on the aircraft carrier."

"The electromagnetic pulse bomb is not a panacea, our technology is not mature, even if it can explode at close range, at most it will cause short-term electronic interference, but what about the nuclear submarine hidden underwater? Also, if the EMP bomb does not explode at the scheduled time, the combat range of the US aircraft carrier battle group is terrifying, and you dare to be sure that the special forces can accurately complete the mission? Besides, what if these six submarines are discovered by the US Navy? ”

"Defeat before victory, don't think about anything so absolutely, anything can happen on the battlefield, of course it is the most fatal flaw, the Navy Command must do a good job of coping with various situations, the success or failure of this mission has a lot to do with the future confrontation between us and the US government." Wu Chen said sternly.

Why do you say that, aircraft carriers, which are the culmination of the most cutting-edge technology of the Navy, are also the largest, most complex, and most powerful weapons, and they cannot be built in a short period of time, and generally speaking, it will take at least four years.

A modern heavy aircraft carrier is not a light aircraft carrier during World War II, which can be manufactured by any shipyard, and France can also manufacture medium-sized aircraft carriers, or nuclear-powered, why turn to mercenary corps, that is, the technology is too high-end, and there is currently the ability to manufacture 100,000-ton heavy aircraft carriers, and the mercenaries and the United States are counted.

At present, there is only one shipyard in the United States that can manufacture aircraft carriers, and the Newport News Shipyard, a subsidiary of the Northrop Grumman Company, if the number of aircraft carriers in the US Navy can be changed to four or five with the help of the Iraq War, the entire US overseas strategy will be greatly affected, and it will take time to build aircraft carriers, and it will not be easy to use it if you have money.
