Chapter 1: The Mist

Time: 11 a.m. on 23 June 2077.

Location: Planet of the Angs-5 plane, the eastern Indian Ocean in the Gulf of Aden.

Today is another sunny day, the wind is mild, the sea is calm, and this marine environment is really good for ships sailing in the sea.

A huge fleet sailing out of the Gulf of Aden is heading east, led by a giant nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a standard displacement of 96,000 tons, and behind the escort formation is a huge number of merchant ships.

The entire aircraft carrier fleet is equipped with two aircraft-carrying carriers, four nuclear-powered battle cruisers, eight frigates, eight destroyers, four conventional submarines, and four nuclear-powered submarines to form an enhanced aircraft carrier battle group of the fleet's main warships, plus more than 80 warships of other sizes and missiles, landing craft, submarine hunters, and other auxiliary ships marching in battle formation.

The enhanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet guards a vast fleet of 285 merchant ships loaded with trade supplies and equipment brought in from Europe, including strategic supplies urgently needed by the Republic.

Originally, the Eurasian railway was very smooth, and it was very convenient to travel materials by land.

However, it is precisely because of the connection of the main artery of the Eurasian railway that the land power countries between the Eurasian continent have gradually become stronger, and even the rapid rise of some countries has directly threatened the world's maritime hegemon - the United States.

The sea power state, which has lasted for centuries, is in decline, and the rise of the land power state has become unstoppable.

The status of the world boss is becoming more and more unretained, and the people of the United States are unwilling.

Thus, the usual tricks of this hegemonic country in private came into play.

The two cards in the hands of the people of the United States, Mi Yuan and Ordnance, began to exert their power, and several forces began to infiltrate, subvert, and create trouble between Eurasia.

After several years of hard work, starting in the second half of last year, several small countries in the middle of the Eurasian railway began to have a pro-democracy movement, which in turn caused chaos. At the end of the year, a full-scale war finally broke out, and the Eurasian railway was completely disrupted.

The disruption of land transport has directly caused a large backlog of trade materials between the two sides of the Eurasian continent.

As time goes on, more and more supplies are being squeezed, and some of them are urgently needed and must be addressed.

It was in this situation that the Republic had no choice but to send this powerful ocean-going fleet to escort the supplies from Europe back to the mainland by sea.

The United States is a pragmatist country, they sometimes preach morality, but only when they think it is necessary.

As soon as they deem it unnecessary, or jeopardize their interests, the so-called morality will be put on the shelf. The United States is an egoist, they don't care about morality at all, as long as they achieve their goals.

The commander-in-chief of the escort mission was the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet, 42-year-old Hao Han, with the rank of major general, who was in the command room on the aircraft carrier at this time.

This is a hawkish general who always prides himself on being the best disciple of the great military strategist of the Republic, confident, resolute, and very contemptuous of the enemy.

Behind him stood two guards, a man and a woman, in fact, this is the latest technology in the mid-to-late 21st century, high-fidelity robots. From the outside, there is no difference between it and a real person, and every word and deed is no different from a normal person.

Robots are also different from people, they don't eat, they don't drink, they don't sleep, and of course they don't excrete.

It is precisely because of the importance of this mission that the commander of this fleet has been equipped with powerful robot guards. Any move that wants to be unfavorable to the commander, without even Hao Han's order, the robot will not hesitate to stifle all dangers.

Hao Han was originally supposed to have the rank of lieutenant general, but he was not promoted because he showed a strong sense of main battle in a conflict in the southern sea a few years ago, and was criticized by moderates.

Although he was not promoted, there are few outstanding generals like him in China, and moderates will not be able to shake his foundations.

Of course, Hao Han is also very depressed, we always shrink back for Mao? Because Mao is always afraid of other people's irresponsible opinions?

The Republic has become strong, Hao Han is very confident, he is not afraid of any fleet in this world.

However, his self-confidence does not mean that others are confident.

Hao Han, an excellent commander, was always locked up, and several fighter planes were abandoned by one order after another, thus depriving the Republic of the opportunity to deter Xiaoxiao.

As a result, monkeys are still rampant in the southern seas......

Although the moderates did not like to see this militant hawk, they had to admit that he was a great general.

This time the escort mission was very important, and the key was that there was important equipment imported by the Republic in the mixed convoy.

Therefore, Hao Han was still entrusted with the important task of serving as the commander of the escort formation of the enhanced aircraft carrier battle group.

The Republic has recently developed the "light explosion" technology, which is limited to certain key technologies in the manufacturing industry, and a series of manufacturing equipment has been customized in Europe.

It can be said that after returning to China, these devices can be installed in place to manufacture the world's most advanced finished products.

In order to receive this equipment, a large number of relevant specialists and technicians were accompanied by the ship, as well as operators trained in Europe.

In the middle of the 21st century, the overall strength of the Republic was very close to that of the world's number one power. Once this new technology is used in the military, it will completely change the military pattern of the world.

During this voyage, the U.S. fleet has been tracking this convoy in the Mediterranean. Now that the fleet is out of the Gulf of Aden, the U.S. fleet is probably about to appear.

Hao Han is an experienced commander and a very careful thinker.

Suddenly, Rear Admiral Commander Hao Han noticed a mist in front of the fleet.

Hey, how can there be fog in a clear sky, this fog is a little weird.

"The speed and bearing of the fleet?"

"Report to the commander, the current speed is fifteen knots, the bearing is 55.17 degrees east longitude, 7.77 degrees north latitude, the report is complete."

Hao Han looked at the fog in front of him, and faintly, floated towards the fleet.

If you look at the north-south direction, the sun is shining brightly, and the blue waves are thousands of miles.

Hao Han had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, and he faintly felt that this fog was coming a little strangely.

In a flash, the kung fu mist was already in front of me, and the concentration was also strengthening. Hao Han snorted for no reason.

Hao Han thought to himself, it's better to be cautious.

The commander of the aircraft carrier fleet was a little cautious, and suddenly issued a ridiculous order: "The fleet slows down and orders all the ships of the escort fleet to concentrate on the mother ship." ”

The staff officer on duty was stunned for a moment, the navigation was normal, and he didn't find any accidents? What kind of order is this!

However, the command must be executed.

"Yes, the fleet slows down and moves closer to the mothership."

Although the order had been issued, Commander Hao Han did not relax in his heart, but had a premonition that something seemed to happen?

What can happen? God knows
