――――The above is free, the following text――――

In the base, Natasha walked to Li Lan's side and reported: "Jiaolong has entered the sea." ”

Li Lan's eyes lit up and asked, "All of them came out?" ”

"Two hours ago, NATO officials even held a grand ceremony for this purpose, and most of the leaders of NATO countries attended the ceremony."

Natasha opened the video as she spoke, and a grand image soon appeared on the huge monitor at the base.

On the light and breezy port, there are one warship after another docked neatly, and the ten supercarriers in the middle have become the absolute protagonists.

The picture uses a wide-angle lens, but the size of the ten aircraft carriers is too big, and in the picture, it is still full of majestic momentum.

Natasha continued: "This is the most powerful fleet ever possessed by mankind, representing the pinnacle of the development of human navigation technology to date, and the backbone of the NATO coalition's complete defeat of us. ”

Li Lan glanced at the picture, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and said: "This is indeed something to be proud of, ten supercarrier battle groups, twelve amphibious assault ship formations, plus the six so-called helicopter carriers of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, as well as four submarine groups and six escort ship groups, the total strength has indeed reached the largest fleet group in human scale." ”

"Even if we are prepared, in the face of such a huge combat power, we have to be careful, under such a huge fleet layout, the Indian Ocean is probably about to become a footbath." On the side, Tanya said lightly.

"This is normal, even the Pacific Ocean cannot accommodate such a large fleet group on both sides, and NATO has forced us to have a decisive battle from the very beginning."

Li Lan naturally understands this truth, don't think that the ocean is very large, but the radiation range of aircraft carrier aircraft is not small. The range of activity of the carrier-based aircraft of an aircraft carrier battle group has reached a radius of 1,000 kilometers, and if refueling is carried out in the air, this distance can reach more than 1,500 kilometers.

With the radius of ten supercarrier battle groups, there is simply not much space in the Indian Ocean that is not outside the combat radius of its carrier-based aircraft.

But it also depends on the choice of the formation of the opposing fleet. It is impossible for NATO to separate aircraft carriers one by one, and at least form a fleet formation with absolute combat effectiveness before it dares to operate in the Indian Ocean controlled by Somalia.

Of course, this does not rule out the formation of a horizontal line attack formation on the NATO side, so that it can be from the eastern Indian Ocean. Towards the western Pacific line.

Once any point is attacked, the fleets on both flanks can be surrounded in a circle at the first time.

However, it is not so easy to command such a large fleet, and if hundreds of warships want to cooperate, the command system required will be very large, and if the entire fleet is scattered, it will inevitably bring about difficult coordination in command.

It is as strong as the United States, and it does not have the experience of commanding such a large fleet, because it requires a very strong network support, and then it is possible for the commander to be able to order and prohibit.

And the NATO Combined Pacific Fleet, which has been preparing for months. At this time, choosing to sail was obviously a solution to this difficulty.

As the so-called soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth, such a huge maritime group, Li Lan does not have the ability to eat the opponent in one go, so he can only combine the opponent's tactical formation and make his own tactical adjustments.

"NATO's current strategic direction is very clear, forcing our fleet to fight a decisive battle, and then break our blockade of the Indian Ocean with a strong naval superiority and make their forces. It is possible to land directly on our soil and open up the most valuable third battlefield. Tanya said.

Natasha further analyzed: "It's just that they don't know that we are not less than them in terms of the number of aircraft carriers. Although their amphibious assault ships can also take off Lightning fighters, in terms of range, they simply cannot meet the decisive battle between aircraft carriers. And the Raptor carrier-based aircraft on the US supercarrier is what we need to take into account.

Although the Raptor carrier-based aircraft is derived from the Air Force's version of the Raptor fighter, it uses state-of-the-art technology. Both stealth and attack and bomb load have been significantly improved, and its performance is not at all inferior to the carrier-based version of our Black Hawk.

Over the past few years, all of the US Navy's Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have spent huge sums of money to modernize and upgrade, and the fourth-generation carrier-based aircraft have long been eliminated, and all of them are Raptor-based carrier-based aircraft and carrier-based unmanned combat aircraft, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced.

Together with the amphibious assault ships and the lightning carrier-based aircraft on Japan's six helicopter carriers, the carrier-based aircraft that can be dispatched are enough to cause great damage to our fleet.

Of course, we must also be vigilant against their submarine forces, as all 18 Japanese submarines have entered the Indian Ocean, and the Los Angeles-class and Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarines of the US Navy have also become underwater attack groups of the Combined Fleet.

As for submarines, we cannot ignore the other side's ballistic missile nuclear submarines, because of the non-use of nuclear weapons treaty signed by the two sides, the US military has converted a large number of ballistic missile nuclear submarines and, like us, has also changed them into underwater weapon platforms that can launch anti-ship missiles.

It is expected that the scale of the submarine force dispatched by the NATO joint fleet will also be unprecedented, and it is worth noting that this time, the other three arsenal ships of the US military will act with the fleet, and may form an independent attack formation with Zumwalt to play the effect of surprise troops......"

"It's really shocking, no matter who has such power, they can lay the throne of the world." Li Lan sincerely praised that NATO's Pacific Combined Fleet has powerful combat power enough to wipe Somalia off the map.

It is enough to make any major country frightened, even if the defense of the United States mainland will be in ruins under such a large attack formation.

Although the defense of Somalia itself is very strong, it cannot withstand such a strong firepower.

Leaving aside the amphibious assault ships and supercarriers, even the destroyers and frigates, their burst firepower is enough to destroy the defensive weapons off the coast of Somalia.

There's nothing to say about the rest of the story, once the defenses are breached, the defenses of the rest of the region will be pulled out along with them.

Because as long as a corner of the defense is breached, NATO's firepower will be poured into all power facilities, and when the time comes, the defensive weapons that run entirely on electricity will become scrap metal.

The entire line of defense will crumble. As for attacking power facilities, this is inevitable, as anyone who is not a fool can see that Somalia has laser defense weapons and electromagnetic railguns all over the country. The most dependent is the supply of electricity.

In other words, if the Red Alert fleet is approaching the entire territory of the United States, Li Lan will also consider how to destroy the power supply of the United States, and many defensive weapons of the United States without power supply will not be of use.

Defense is not absolute, and any defense has a certain degree of tolerance. The reason why NATO is not carrying out a large-scale military strike on Somalia mainland now. Just because of the distance.

The same is true for Li Lan, who does not want to destroy Europe's industrial capacity and destroy all NATO's war potential in Europe, but the attack distance is too far to carry out an all-round effective strike.

As long as NATO's Combined Pacific Fleet can defeat the combat capability of the Somali Navy, it will have enough space to carry out all-round firepower strikes on the Somali mainland.

As strong as the defense of the base, it can intercept 2,000 missiles, but how can it intercept 4,000 missiles?

Once the defenses are torn apart, the next attack is overwhelming, and more powerful firepower will destroy all defenses. And then there is the long drive of the ground forces.

If the fighting in the Middle East and North Africa was only the beginning of an all-out operation, then this naval battle was an important part of the real outcome of the war.

Whoever can win in the naval battle is equivalent to grasping the bargaining chips for victory in the war.

Of course, if you kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, then everything is back to the starting point, and you can only continue to start depleting the country's war potential.

It's just that in this way, Somalia will be at a complete disadvantage, but NATO will not be very comfortable either. Li Lan can support all-front operations for at least three years, and even if NATO exhausts Somalia's combat capability, it will become very vulnerable.

At this time, the polar bear is eyeing the tiger. How could it be possible to let go of the big fat meat of NATO, the greedy Slavs have never given up the interests they have received, and they will work hard to seize greater interests.

The naval battle in the Indian Ocean will be a key factor in determining the course of this war.

NATO has gone all out to send troops to the Indian Ocean, and Li Lan has no reservations.

in the Indian Ocean. The Red Alert Navy has already formed a combined fleet of unprecedented size, and two aircraft carrier battle groups from the Pakistani and Iranian navies have also joined in.

At this time, no one will take into account the level of loss, and the loss of the Indian Ocean is equivalent to the loss of the war, and both Pakistan and Iran understand this.

The Navy will be the sole main battlefield of this war. The fighting in the Middle East and North Africa, it's really nothing.

At this stage, Li Lan's two aircraft carriers are still near the Cape of Good Hope, and they have been maneuvering with the NATO Navy in the Atlantic.

The navies of the two sides restrain each other here, and they are unable to leave, so these two aircraft carrier battle groups naturally cannot be used.

NATO has also not considered transferring its navy from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, and the US Navy's four aircraft carrier battle groups are a guarantee for protecting the lifeline of the Atlantic, and they cannot leave.

The European fleets had the same responsibility, supporting operations in the Mediterranean. Therefore, this naval decisive battle in the Indian Ocean, the fleet in the Atlantic, is completely unable to help.

It is also difficult for the Somali Navy to get out of the two aircraft carrier battle groups and a number of destroyer formations, otherwise the NATO Navy in the Atlantic Ocean will inevitably bypass the Cape of Good Hope and go to the Indian Ocean to support.

In the Indian Ocean, the Red Alert Navy also has extremely powerful forces, and in half a year, the Eighth Fleet has officially joined the naval combat establishment.

In this way, after deducting the Second Fleet and the Fourth Fleet in the Atlantic direction, the Red Alert Navy will have six fleets in the Indian Ocean, plus four hidden aircraft carrier battle groups, and ten supercarrier battle groups, which is the same as the number of supercarrier battles of the US military.

In terms of high-end combat effectiveness, the two sides are level. If you count the two battle groups of Iran and Pakistan, in terms of the number of aircraft carriers, the Somali side has an advantage.

In terms of the number of amphibious assault ships, the US military dispatched 12 of them, and each amphibious assault ship can carry nearly 40 lightning carrier-based aircraft to the limit.

The amphibious assault ships of the Red Alert Navy can also carry a similar number of fifth-generation Intruder fighters.

In terms of the number of amphibious assault ships, Li Lan currently has only 15 of them that can be used, and if we count Japan's six helicopter carriers that can provide take-off and landing platforms for lightning carrier-based aircraft.

In general, the Red Alert Navy does not have any advantages.

For other ships, the number of the Red Alert Navy is also much worse, and the entire fleet does not add up to more than two hundred warships. And the combined number of NATO Pacific Combined Fleet, the number of various ships combined, is almost five hundred.

All kinds of ships are very complete, with strong logistics support. It already has an absolute superiority in troops.

As Natasha's analysis, although the Indian Ocean is its main battlefield, NATO is definitely a raptor crossing the river this time.

Whether it is a submarine on the surface or underwater, Li Lan has long been left with no room for it.

Of course, if you think about it. Li Lan will not leave any way back for the enemy.

"Where are the fleets at the moment?" Li Lan asked.

"The First Fleet Group is located in the central part of the Indian Ocean, the Second Fleet Group is in the southern part of the Indian Ocean, the Third Fleet Group is resupplying in the Indian Ocean Territory, and the Fourth Fleet Group is heading to the First Fleet Group to converge. The fleets are separated by a thousand nautical miles and can be assembled in a short time if necessary. Tanya replied.

Li Lan nodded, didn't say anything, and directly contacted the fleet commander on the front line, Lynch Mountain, and as soon as the communication was connected, he spoke: "Lynch Mountain." Jiaolong is already like a sea, this time you are the protagonist, I pin my hopes on you, this battle is only victory, I don't want to hear any news of defeat. ”

"Please rest assured, the commander has only won the battle in Lynch Mountain, and there is no Lynch Mountain in defeat." On the other end of the phone, Lynch Hill said confidently.

"The morale is commendable, but I hope you don't be careless, strategically we can defy the enemy. But in terms of tactics, you must pay 100% attention to the loss of an order and the army will be broken to death, do you understand? Li Lan reminded.

"Humble duty understands. I am ready to deal with any situation, and the morale of the whole army is like a rainbow and I am ready for a decisive battle. "Lynch Hill Road.

"I'm looking forward to your performance."

Hanging up the phone, Li Lan said in her heart: Nearly 20 years of struggle have also come to the most critical time, and I hope everything can be as I wish.

"I'm curious why the commander didn't let Suleiman command this naval battle." Tanya asked.

"Suleiman was a good naval commander. But he lacks the courage to attack, although Lynch Hill is not a very comprehensive commander, but he has the courage of a naval commander, in terms of tactics and vision, the two are comparable,

Commanding such a large fleet requires courage. This is what Suleiman lacks, who is fit to take the whole picture, not to make decisions in crucial moments. Li Lan said.

……

In the port of Nikola, Australia, a large number of warships are leaving the port one after another, and tugboats are dragging these behemoths out of the port.

The entire pier was full of flying colored flags, and the crowd of farewell had not yet dispersed, waving goodbye to the neat white sailors on the warship.

The wharf, where more than 100,000 people gathered, was filled with farewell shouts everywhere, and hundreds of thousands of sailor soldiers began their expedition from here, and also worried the hearts of hundreds of thousands of families.

It has been given high hopes by countless people, and the war has reached such a point that ordinary people naturally cannot drag the country back, and what they can do now is to pray for their safety for their families.

I also prayed that I wouldn't get that yellow registered letter, and I didn't want to see the death notice on it.

Too many families have lost their loved ones for this war, which seems to them to be very boring.

At this time, they can only hope that the war can end as soon as possible and return to a peaceful life as soon as possible.

On the hill behind the harbor, Harris had been standing here for hours, watching his fleet slowly leave the harbor.

As the supreme commander of this fleet, he did not have any maneuver at the moment, and whenever his eyes lingered in the crowd of people in the harbor to see him off, he only felt the pressure on his shoulders.

The strength of the Somali Navy is obvious to the world, and this is not the first time that the US military has engaged the Somali Navy. The Somali Navy, which has never been defeated, no matter who is in his position, will not be easy.

According to the comparison of intelligence, the enemy's navy has a maximum of eight aircraft carrier battle groups, as well as two Middle Eastern navies that are not nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

The number of supporting warships is also much higher than that of the enemy. It seems that his side already has an absolute advantage, but in Harris's heart, he has not been able to comfortably let go of his hands and feet to command.

The Joint Staff Conference sent him a large number of excellent staff officers, and in the entire command headquarters, NATO's elites gathered, and all possible situations encountered by the fleet were listed in the plan one by one.

It can be said that this time the NATO Navy is fully prepared and able to cope with any unfavorable situation that arises.

It's just that I don't know why, Harris just can't be happy now, the powerful fleet has already set off, he won't follow the fleet forward, and will always sit here to command this naval battle.

The distant whistle beat his heart like a war drum, looking at the sea in the distance, the fleet groups lined up to the sky, and the rows of carrier-based aircraft in the air pulled out ribbons in the air.

What should have been an ambitious picture, Harris was now full of heaviness, his eyes diffused as he looked at the fleet under the water and sky, and muttered to himself:

"With the hopes and expectations of countless people, I hope that in the near future, I will still be able to hold the grandest welcome ceremony here for such a triumph." (To be continued.) )xh118
