Chapter 488: Spheres of Influence

The second is the Hansen.

But the missile that destroyed the destroyer was not launched from the Zhang Jing, but the missile boat that it took as its prey.

Prey can also become hunters.

Previously, the eight missile boats fired a total of sixteen YJ missiles at the Saratoga, and they had sixteen more, and after aiming at the Hansen from a distance of thirty kilometers, the two missile boats immediately launched four YJM missiles, and the hapless Hansen would no longer turn into the bald Liaoyang, it managed to avoid two of them, but was beaten into steel garbage floating on the surface of the sea by the remaining two.

Then the four missiles on the Zhang Jing also hit the Larson, which had originally become the South Stick Jeonbuk, and the destroyer did not avoid any of them, and quickly followed in the footsteps of the Carpenter under the ferocious blow of the four Eagle Strike missiles, and the remaining three destroyers were so frightened that they immediately scattered, and rushed to the nearest coast as fast as possible, but even so, the Royal was quickly destroyed by the missile boats, and in the end only two destroyers escaped and hid in a lagoon, and one of them ran aground on the shallows because of panic.

And in the distance of them, eight missile boats drove proudly past.

This battle between ants and elephants scares everyone out of their minds.

Eight 400-ton missile boats actually crippled a 76,000-ton supercarrier?

Oh my God, this world is crazy.

Moreover, they actually retreated unscathed, and they also easily destroyed two destroyers of 3,000 tons, and they also frightened four heavy cruisers into turning around and fleeing, and the salvo of anti-ship missiles from a distance of 100 kilometers killed them with one blow, and the ultra-low-altitude sea-skimming penetrated defense, which was unavoidable and unavoidable, and this was not a battle, it was the life of a naval battle. This is a rehearsal of the future mode of naval warfare, if the appearance of aircraft carriers ended the era of giant ship artillery, then the appearance of anti-ship missiles completely kicked naval guns out of the list of protagonists.

At this time, people understood why Yang Feng built a 6,000-ton warship with only two main guns.

He already had his own tactical system.

He has long known that large-caliber naval artillery has no other use than to bombard shore infantry, and he has known since eight years ago that anti-ship missiles and ship-to-air missiles will dominate the battlefield of the future. This guy is so insidious, he just happily watched other countries rack their brains, spend money, use all kinds of strange ideas, strange equipment to plan the future battlefield, and when they were all tired and almost exhausted, he came out and waved his broom and swept them all into the garbage heap, and then put out the real card to make everyone panic and eat farts after him.

And that's not all.

The YJM weighs only a few hundred kilograms, which means that not only warships can carry it. Even ordinary combat aircraft, flying leopards, ghosts, pirates, and even tiger sharks, can all carry such missiles with slight modifications, and then launch them at sea warships from a distance of 100 kilometers.

What does this mean?

The air-to-ship attack mode has also been completely rewritten, and no aircraft will enter the warship's air defense system to drop bombs in the future. They can fire lethal missiles from all anti-aircraft artillery, even anti-aircraft missiles, out of range. Then calmly leave, compared with the Eagle Strike missile, the little fighting dog of the United States has become a joke, this missile is like the dreadnought of the year, and almost all warships in various countries have become useless decorations overnight.

And that's not all.

Such missiles can be loaded with a twin or even quadruple launch box on a single truck, and then fired at a warship hundreds of kilometers away from the shore, and the coastal defense model has also been completely rewritten. There will no longer be countless large-caliber coastal defense guns and warships to bombard, and a truck carrying a launch system can easily keep a large warship away.

In short, this is a gee life, a technical gee life!

Of course, this is all something to consider later. The question now is, what will Eisenhower do next with his swollen face going next? An aircraft carrier was heavily damaged, two destroyers were sunk, two destroyers were destroyed, more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded in the US Navy, and nearly 100 carrier-based aircraft were wiped out. Is it full involvement in the war? If the United States fully intervenes in the war, will the Ming army directly participate in the war? If the Ming army enters the war, will the flames of war burn beyond the Arabian Peninsula? The Soviets have been gearing up for a long time, and the bald man will not let go of such a good opportunity for profit.

The rhythm of the world war!

However, at this time, Ike was also confused.

Speaking of which, whether it is him or the generals of the Pentagon, all the attention has always been focused on the Kunlun aircraft carrier, in their opinion, the Loyalty fleet is nothing more than an amphibious landing fleet under the protection of limited air defense capabilities, as long as the Kunlun aircraft carrier does not directly participate in the war, the Saratoga wants to destroy this fleet is nothing more than raising its hand. As a result, who knows that he didn't destroy others, but he broke one of his legs, this tama is too cruel, right? A supercarrier, four heavy cruisers, and six destroyers finally made the whole fleet useless, but one destroyer with eight missile boats was disabled, if this really fought with the main force of the Ming army, then it would not be completely annihilated?

After coming to his senses, Eisenhower did not hesitate to order the Saratoga fleet to withdraw from the Red Sea, not even the two destroyers that were destroyed and the one that ran aground, in short, to evacuate as quickly as possible, otherwise the Ming fleet would have to sink there if it took the opportunity to launch another attack.

As for the Saratoga returning directly to the mainland for repairs, the aircraft carrier at least lost its combat effectiveness, but the main structures were not damaged much, and it was no problem to drive it back to Norfolk by itself.

The Coral Sea, which was originally reinforcing it, also turned to sail out of the Suez Canal and returned to the Mediterranean, at this time there is no point in reinforcing it, the Ming army can completely use regional air defense ships to provide a protective umbrella, and then let those missile boats carry out a surprise attack on any aircraft carrier, those carrier-based aircraft on the Coral Sea are not capable of breaking through the Ming army's air defense network, and its escort fleet is also unable to intercept the attack of anti-ship missiles.

The two destroyers that also maintained a blockade of the Tiran Strait were also withdrawn, and in short, the Navy of the Red Sea countries did not enter for the time being.

But admitting defeat is certainly not a no-no.

Najd has become the most important fortress of the United States in the Middle East, the Soviets got Egypt, Syria, Babylon, and after the US troops landed in Lebanon, they finally had to withdraw because of international pressure, Persia and Trusil Oman fell into the hands of Yang Feng, and Jordan must have fallen to Yang Feng after this war. Other places are still under the control of Britain, and the two ends of Canaan, although they cannot do without the support of the Jewish consortium of the United States, they are also inseparable from Yang Feng's arms, and the only ones who can really be allies of the United States are Tuji and Najd, the former is shrouded by the powerful shadow of the Soviets, and the latter can be said to be the only strategic pillar of the United States in the Arabian Peninsula world.

They can't afford to lose Najd.

Losing this country, they are also expelled from the Middle East stage, and the major oil companies there immediately become fish on someone else's board.

In any case, the country must keep the country.

If it doesn't work at sea, then solve it on land!

"Sablin, my request is very simple, neither Babylon, Syria nor Egypt will allow a single US military transport plane to fly through their skies, as long as you do it, then I can give you the guidance system that was promised to you last time."

Yang Feng said to Sablin.

If the Mi people want to airlift soldiers and munitions to Najd, then their transport planes must take off from Tuji or Europe, and then they must pass through the airspace of the above three countries and Jordan. For the United States, the only way left is to transport by sea, and then transfer a few more missile boats, and also make a similar blockade in the Red Sea, and the people of the United States can only transport it from the direction of Asia if they want to provide assistance to Najd, although according to the rules of the game he cannot intercept it, but such transportation cannot be compared with the convenience of air transportation after all.

"Your Excellency, they are all sovereign states that are completely self-reliant, and without their permission, any country's aircraft flying over their airspace is an invasion, and they all have the right to shoot it down."

Sablin said with a smile.

This is equivalent to agreeing, as for whether the three countries will agree, this, they will definitely agree, as long as they give them some more MiG-21 combat and Sam-2 anti-aircraft missiles.

"But Your Excellency, we would like to know what your views are on the future development of the situation in the Middle East?"

Then he added.

This means that how will we divide the territory of the Middle East in the future? Although I know that you are very strong now, and even the supercarrier of the Chinese people has been crippled by a few of your small speedboats, but in the final analysis, you are not covering the sky with one hand, we also have a part in the Middle East, you can't even worry about ours, otherwise we may not cooperate with you tacitly.

"The situation in the Middle East, what do you say about this?"

Yang Feng groaned, stood up and walked to the map, pointed his finger at the local chicken and said, "Yours! ”

Then he pointed to Babylon and said, "Yours too." ”

Then he pointed to Syria and said, "It's still yours." ”

Then he pointed to Egypt and said, "This is yours too." ”

"But you are not allowed to stretch out your hand anywhere else, whoever it belongs to in the end, and if you stretch out your hand to these places, then it will be very difficult for us to maintain our friendship."

Yang Feng said.

"Your Excellency, we cannot guarantee that the people of these places will not spontaneously rise up against the colonizers and fight for their independence and freedom."

Sablin said with a smile.

"You don't need to worry about that, I have the final say on the order of other places."

Yang Feng said proudly.

Sablin didn't speak, just nodded slightly. (To be continued.) )
