Chapter 760: Sea Power
Portsmouth Harbor, the port flag was unfurled, countless people spontaneously came to the port, to see off their own army that was about to sail away, and countless people, as relatives of soldiers, when they parted, they still carried a lot of sadness, but they also conveyed their firm belief to their relatives, defend the motherland, and fight the enemy fiercely!
As Supreme Commander of the Fleet, Admiral John Federhouse. Standing on the bridge of the USS Invincible, Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the crowd of farewells outside with the commander of the task force, Rear Admiral Woodward, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
"American reconnaissance satellites, which found the location of the Soviets USS Soviet, after leaving the Turkish Straits, joined up with several large warships, but did not pass through the Suez Canal, but sailed in the Mediterranean." Maj. Gen. Woodward said: "This is a bad sign. ”
What were the Soviets going to do? Do you want to interfere with your own actions by force? Although our side has two aircraft carriers and dozens of warships, the combat effectiveness of our aircraft carrier formation is not inferior to those warships, and if the Soviets want to forcibly intervene, what should we do?
"The Soviet Union in South America, there are few friendly countries at all, and they have no intersection with Argentina, even if they help Argentina, they will not be recognized by Argentina, perhaps, this is just a coincidence." Admiral John said.
Hopefully, what about just a coincidence, maybe the newest aircraft carrier of the Soviets, unable to pass through the Suez Canal, could only go around the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean and go to the southern tip of Africa?
However, even John himself did not believe this statement, and now, the chaos in the whole of Europe was caused by the Soviets! The Soviets were absolutely uneasy and well-intentioned!
"The U.S. side has also launched a plan, if the Soviets harass us at sea, then the U.S. aircraft carrier group will also be dispatched to monitor the Soviets' movements." Maj. Gen. Woodward said.
The United States absolutely supported Britain's war against Argentina, but this support was to contact the entire NATO, impose an arms embargo on Argentina, impose economic sanctions on Argentina, and even France was moved to decide to detain the Exocet missiles ordered by Argentina.
After all, this is a war for Britain, and in fact, up to now, many public opinion has also supported Argentina, believing that Britain, as a former colonial power, should negotiate diplomatically to resolve disputes and seek to recover territories from regional powers by force, which is wrong.
Aircraft carriers of the Soviets! Looking at the information sent recently, Admiral John was also extremely shocked in his heart, now, Britain, the former empire on which the sun never sets, the navy is extremely weak, and all they can dispatch now is just two small aircraft carriers, and the carrier-based aircraft carried are also nondescript Sea Harriers, a total of twenty. But what about the USSR? Now there is a supercarrier with a displacement of 80,000 tons! There are nearly 80 aircraft of various types on it!
The Soviet Union, which is already a land power, and the whole of Europe is trembling under the rolling armor torrent of the Soviet Union, if the Soviet Union has a powerful navy again, then the life of the whole of Western Europe will be even more difficult.
But now, such a situation is gradually taking shape!
"Seventy percent of our planet is ocean. Whoever controls the oceans truly controls the world. Standing on the bridge, looking at his own fleet, and looking at the Su-27K carrier-based aircraft that was steaming and ejected on the deck, Andrei said: "Since the last century, the American Mahan wrote a book on sea power, which has been regarded as a classic. At the beginning, Britain, as the capital of the empire on which the sun never sets, was their powerful naval fleet. ”
Next to Andre, Victor also looked calm: "Yes, in the past, we had to deal with the threat of land, and the development of the navy was slow, but now, our navy can finally truly become the hegemon at sea, and the aircraft carrier under our feet is a symbol of our force." ”
The real first supercarrier, a giant battleship comparable to the Western world, is the pride of the entire Soviet Navy!
In fact, Viktor did not dare to say more, the embarrassment of the Soviet Navy was actually caused by the short-sightedness of the leaders, especially the former Khrushchev, who was completely unaware of the value of aircraft carriers, and was only bent on missiles.
"Attention, combat alert, combat alert, two suspicious planes flying from the north!" Just then, the sound of a radio came from the bridge.
The shipping routes in the Mediterranean Sea were originally very busy, and at the same time, there were also fighters from many countries along the coast as training airspace, but now, when the Soviet aircraft carriers passed, it was still like a pack of wolves, and there were always fighters from Western European countries who wanted to fly over to reconnoitre.
Of course, we can't let them succeed! Just after the aircraft carrier sounded the combat alarm, the Su-27K in the air, already guided by radar, flew towards the north. Kristof turned on the radar, and in the bright line, two points of light quickly appeared.
"Attention, this is the airspace of the USS Soviet, please leave immediately." Adjust the radio to the public channel, Christophe said in fluent English.
"This is international airspace." Later, a voice came from the other side.
The distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching, and at this time, the distance from the aircraft carrier was one hundred and fifty kilometers. If it weren't for the complicated air situation here, the enemy would have completed the interception at a distance of 300 kilometers. Now the circle of defense of the aircraft carrier has been temporarily narrowed to a hundred kilometers.
Although Christoph is only a single plane, he is not afraid at all, as a naval pilot, his mission is to protect the safety of the aircraft carrier and prevent any enemy aircraft from approaching him!
Since the other party doesn't know each other, then don't blame yourself for being unkind! Christophe flipped the switch, and the fire control system quickly locked onto one of the opposing planes. At the same time, the R-77 missile under the wing has been unlocked synchronously and is ready to be launched at any time.
Whose sky belongs depends on whose fists are hard enough! This sortie by the Soviet aircraft carrier will establish the prestige of the Soviet Union as a naval power!
Sure enough, after locking on to the other side with the radar, the bright spots on the radar display screen began to retreat, and Christophe switched back to the radio channel and reported to the carrier: "001 reports, the target has been expelled. ”
At the same time, Christophe lowered his head and glanced at the radar screen that had switched from the locking mode to the scanning mode, and his eyes immediately sharpened: "A new target has been discovered, with a speed of 0.9 and a height of 50, and a low-altitude and large-speed penetration is being carried out, and an attack is requested!"
