Chapter 476: Fleet Deterrence I
"Seeing how happy you are like this, do you have any happy events to share with me?" Kate, who had just finished taking a shower, asked with a smile while wiping her long hair. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAt this moment, she is not the noble and cold vampire princess in the movie, but a refreshing and pretty beauty, with a unique style and charm.
"I think soon you'll be reading the front page headlines in the newspapers, the legendary shipwreck of the Sussex, and no treasure has been found, and Britain and Spain are in a confrontational posture for this, isn't it interesting?" Wu Chen reached out and ripped off her bath towel.
"How so? I watch reports on this matter on TV every day, and the treasure of the shipwreck has not been confirmed, and there is indeed this historical fact. Kate's heart was beating fast and her body was weak, but she was held back by a strong curiosity.
For the fact that two people are in the same room, no one in the crew thinks it is strange, what do people do about other people's birds? What's more, Western society looks down on such a phenomenon, if you get along, you will be together, and if you can't get along, you will become friends, if Miss Kate does not have this relationship with Wu Chen, it is called a strange thing!
It is common for actors to fall in love, live together, get married, and break up in this circle, and the more famous the celebrities, the more difficult it is to maintain their marriage. Some media have made statistics that the divorce rate of Oscar actresses is 63%, and everyone often has feelings because of a movie, and then after a long time, they feel that it is inappropriate, and then they break up.
Being an actor is a special profession, not a company employee or a civil servant who commutes to and from work normally, and sometimes a movie or TV series has to be filmed for several months or even a year or two, and it is not surprising that there are problems without seeing each other for a long time.
In the sea near Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia, and Noumea, the capital of New Caledonia, two fleets suddenly appeared, and the local garrison and the gendarmerie regiment suddenly jumped after receiving the news, which must be the arrival of the mercenary navy, which also means that the war is about to begin.
"Nima, you are all quiet, each fleet actually has two Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers and two Burke-class missile destroyers, four Spruance-class missile destroyers and four Perry-class missile frigates, and two nuclear submarines, damn it, how do they look like the Akula-class of the former Soviet Union?" This is the commander of the garrison of Papeete.
"The mercenary corps really looks down on us, for the sake of more than 3,000 people, such a powerful naval fleet was dispatched, with such strength, it is enough to strike at a medium-sized country, and the Ministry of Defense actually let us fight hard, and our heads were caught by the door, right?" The commander of Noumea's garrison said indignantly.
Although the fleet was only ten kilometers from the port, it did not attack, and stopped on the sea as if waiting for orders, and the Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, Burke-class missile destroyers, and Spruance-class missile destroyers, equipped with MK-45 127-mm naval guns with a range of twenty-three kilometers, were fully capable of launching artillery strikes on ports and important facilities.
"Although this is not good news, we also have to inform you that the American aircraft carriers USS Forrest and USS Assault, the battleship Iowa and the battleship Wisconsin purchased by the mercenaries have bypassed Argentine waters and reached the Pacific Ocean."
"In addition, the USS Saratoga, which also departed from the naval base in the Andaman Islands, arrived at you with another fleet, presumably to join the fleet, and these two newly converted aircraft carriers do not have carrier-based fighters." The chief of staff of the French Ministry of Defense had to report on the state of the war.
"It's really enough to look up to us, even a big guy like an aircraft carrier has been sent, and there are still three of them at once, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I hope the government will be considerate of us soldiers who are about to face annihilation, and the mercenary corps is bound to win this mission!" said the commander of the garrison.
The USS Saratoga at the Port Blair Naval Base in the Andaman Islands joined up with the fleet that had made a detour to South America to the Pacific, bringing with it sixty F-18 Hornet carrier-based aircraft, as well as two Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruisers, four Burke-class destroyers, a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship Bataan, two Newport-class tank landing ships, and four Austin-class dock landing ships.
The Wasp-class amphibious assault ships can carry 1,800 Marine Corps officers and men, the Newport-class tank landing ships can carry 400 Marine officers and men each, and the Austin-class dock landing ships can carry 930 Marine officers and men.
The two aircraft carriers, the Forrest and the Raider, each received 30 Hornet carrier-based aircraft, plus the original Hawkeye carrier-based early warning aircraft and Sea Hawk anti-submarine helicopters, forming an extremely terrifying strike force. The Forrest rushed to Papeete, and the Raider to Noumea, forming two carrier formations.
The Saratoga aircraft carrier was tasked with delivering carrier-based aircraft, and then returned to Port Blair Naval Base under the protection of a Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruiser and four Burke-class missile destroyers.
The warships that came with them joined the fleet that was preparing to launch an attack, such as the nuclear-powered missile cruiser Admiral Nasimov, which took part in the attack on Noumea, and the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship Bataan, which took part in the attack on Papeete.
"Boss, everything is ready to attack." Dennis called Wu Chen and said.
"Follow the steps, first send someone to persuade them to surrender, I don't want to beat the French too badly, it's not that I'm afraid of anything, but to show the image of the mercenary corps to the whole world, make the voice of the mercenary corps, we won't take the initiative to start a war unless we have to." Wu Chen said.
A CH-46 Sea Knight transport helicopter, taking off from the USS Raider, a few minutes later, slowly landed in the camp of the French garrison headquarters in Noumea, where the chief of staff of the Mercenary Corps Naval Pacific Fleet Command Baird and his entourage stepped off the helicopter and were greeted by the garrison commander and senior officers.
Another Sea Knight transport helicopter took off from the aircraft carrier Forrest and arrived at the camp of the French garrison headquarters in Papeete, and the chief of staff of the Southeast Asian Fleet Command of the mercenary corps Grace got off the plane with his entourage, and was also greeted by the senior officials of the garrison command.
The two sides saluted like old friends and shook hands, and then entered the luxuriously decorated living room of the headquarters, beautiful and amorous, the French female soldier with a convex and backward figure brought coffee, fruit and snacks, the atmosphere was extremely weird, I didn't know that I thought the mercenary navy was visiting!
