Chapter 812: Twin Aircraft Carrier Battle Group

The waves in the distance rolled up more than two meters high, and a wave rose high and fell again, and this huge storm on the sea finally began!

The warships around have been separated, and even if it is a 10,000-ton warship, it will sway from side to side in the bad weather at sea, which is difficult to control, and if it collides because it cannot be controlled, it will be quite sad.

At the moment when the waves hit, Captain Locke felt a tremor when he saw the high waves, as long as the big waves hit, his submarine would definitely capsize.

At this time, the fear of death occupied his mind, and he suddenly grabbed the rope thrown by the helicopter as if a drowning man had grasped a life-saving straw.

At this time, the Seahawk helicopter overhead was already about to fly away, and in bad weather, the Seahawk helicopter was also easily wrecked. Originally, they still had some admiration for the American submarine captain below, and would rather die than steal their lives. Who knows, when it really comes to the point of death, or suddenly realize that it is better to live.

While the rope was rising, the Seahawk helicopter had already returned, and two naval personnel pulled Captain Locke into the cockpit, and Captain Locke turned pale and didn't say a word.

Below, the submarine had disappeared into the waves, and the helicopter was swaying like a leaf in a storm.

At this time, it is impossible to return to the original destroyer, and the narrow deck cannot allow the carrier-based helicopter to return safely in high sea conditions, but this time the aircraft carrier formation has two aircraft carriers of tens of thousands of tons.

The aircraft carrier Indomitable stood majestically in the storm. After the stabilizer fins are lowered, the deck shakes from side to side, no more than ten degrees, although it is still a little dangerous to take off and land fixed-wing fighters, but the helicopter lands. It's easy.

The storm temporarily halted the movement of both sides, but the tense atmosphere never subsided.

White House.

"One of our Burke-class destroyers was damaged by a submarine of unknown nationality, and one of our Los Angeles-class submarines was similarly damaged." Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said: "Now. Pakistan's aircraft carrier formation appeared in the area of the accident with great fanfare, and it must have been done by Pakistan's submarines! ”

"But until now, we haven't found the submarine, and as long as we don't find it, we can't blame the Pakistanis for it." Secretary of State Baker said.

"Do you need a reason now? Pakistan is our worst enemy, and we have been helping Pakistan all these years, only to have cultivated an enemy! "We don't have a choice right now, and this is a challenge to our American sea power," Cheney said. We must maintain our power at sea, we must start a battle with Pakistan at sea, and use the battle to wash away our shame, our navy is the strongest! ”

At this time, the United States mobilized two aircraft carrier battle groups, the USS Nimitz and the USS Enterprise. The arrival of these two carrier battle groups will maximize the U.S. combat power in the center of the Indian Ocean, although the U.S. Air Force still needs to remain in Afghanistan. Unable to support the Navy's battles, there are only two aircraft carrier battle groups. It is also fully capable of confronting the Pakistani naval formation.

"Yes, now we have no choice but war!" Bush Sr. stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the sunset outside, his words still firm, but he seemed to be helpless.

War! After Bush Sr. came to power. The elder Bush believes that only through war can the United States obtain sufficient benefits, but now. The war seems to have brought the United States to a dead end.

Now, the United States is financially stretched, Europe is not willing to cut wool for the United States, and the situation in the United States has begun to become severe, and the dissatisfaction with the authorities has made President Bush Sr. the most unpopular president in the United States. This is a staggering figure, representing the complete failure of the Bush administration!

Even if the next term does not need Bush Sr. to run for election, the Republican Party will definitely not be able to win the election, and the biggest problem now is that the American people can no longer bear it, and it is very likely that Bush Sr. will get out of office during his term of office.

Bush Sr. now has no other ideas, and being able to complete the blow to Pakistan, the conspiracy country behind him, during his term of office, is the last wish of Bush Sr., and the United States' powerful naval force has not suffered losses for the time being, and there should be no problem in dealing with a second-rate country.

I hope that my successor, the next president of the United States, can understand his good intentions and expand the living space for the United States, and he does this for the sake of American interests! Unfortunately, the road to frontier development is bumpy, and there is a price to be paid for planting the Star-Spangled banner of freedom and democracy in the Middle East.

"Defeating Pakistan's maritime formations, only by inflicting heavy damage on Pakistan's maritime power, can we let our people know that our military strength will always be the strongest in the world, and we have the ability to protect our people." Bush Sr. said.

In fact, the elder Bush still does not understand that what the people at the bottom really need is a better life, and it has nothing to do with how many countries the United States controls, and it has nothing to do with who owns the oil. However, as the president of the United States, of course, Bush Sr. will not represent the interests of the people at the bottom, he will serve the big conglomerates that support him, and now, Lockheed and other arms companies have become the most profitable enterprises in the United States.

Politics is always the dirtiest.

Under the president's order, the battle group of two aircraft carriers of the US Navy sailed in the Indian Ocean, and they already knew that one of their Burke-class destroyers, a Los Angeles-class submarine, had been attacked by a submarine of unknown nationality and was damaged, and the Los Angeles-class submarine was subsequently sunk in the wind and waves, which made the US Navy extremely angry.

US Vice Admiral Poindexter stood on the bridge of the USS Nimitz, the storm at sea had passed, the entire Indian Ocean had returned to calm, and his heart was rising and falling.

The USS Nimitz is the lead ship of the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, a name derived from the commander of the Pacific Fleet in World War II, Chester William Nimitz. This is the world's largest military ship in terms of tonnage and the strongest comprehensive combat capability. With a full load displacement of more than 100,000 tons and a total load of more than 80 fighters, the combat effectiveness of just one such aircraft carrier is comparable to that of Pakistan's two-carrier battle group.

However, combat effectiveness cannot be simply measured by quantity, and on these two aircraft carriers, F-14 Tomcat fighters have been eliminated and replaced by F-18 fighters.

This fighter was originally developed as a supplement to the Tomcat fighter to save money, but, for various reasons, the Tomcat fighter was prematurely withdrawn from active service, and the F-18 rejuvenated the second spring of life and became the main fighter of the US Navy.

Moreover, in order to achieve the task of replacing the Tomcat fighter, the F-18 facelift, the F-18E / F, has completed the test flight ahead of schedule and entered the equipment sequence of the United States, using the F414 engine with increased thrust, improving the fuselage, having a longer range, carrying more missiles, and using all the weapons in the US military's active arsenal.

This kind of aircraft, the cost has not actually dropped much, but the performance, compared with the previous Tomcat, is much worse, especially the combination of the Tomcat fighter and the Immortal Bird missile that the US Navy relies on to maintain rapid interception capabilities, has disappeared, these super hornets are not the opponent of Pakistan's Tomcat fighters at all, in particular, Pakistan has fought with the Soviets many times, and has quite rich experience, which is incomparable to the US Navy carrier-based aircraft pilots.

And now, Bush Sr. still wants the US Navy to fight Pakistan, which is actually unwise, the United States does not need war, the United States needs a peaceful environment, and it needs to develop the economy!

Fighting Iraq is actually a bad move, following the fight against Iran, dragging the United States back into the quagmire of the Vietnam War, and now Bush Sr. is still not giving up, and he wants to fight the Pakistanis again! If we continue to fight like this, the result will be the destruction of the United States!

With so much foreign debt, how will the United States pay it back? The United States is now following the path of the Soviet Union! Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Poyndexter couldn't help but feel sorry.

It's a pity that I am a soldier, and soldiers cannot participate in politics, and the basic system since the founding of the United States is that civilian government is in power, and the army is just a tool.

"Report, AWACS discovered that in the southern seas, in the eastern part of the Maldives archipelago, there are a large number of surface ships!" Just then, a voice interrupted Poyndexter's thoughts.

The main force of the Pakistanis actually ran from the west of the Maldives archipelago to the east! This makes it easy to find! Fortunately, now that the AWACS aircraft has discovered the other side, there will be reconnaissance satellites to locate it, find the main force of the other side, and then carry out a surprise attack and severely damage the opponent's formation!

Strange to say, until now, the two sides have not officially declared war, but the battle at sea is unfolding.

On the two aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft are constantly catapulted and taken off, and the Super Hornet mounted by air superiority carries a large number of AIM-120 missiles and AIM-9 missiles, while the Super Hornet that performs attack missions is equipped with Harpoon anti-ship missiles, and one round of attacks will completely destroy the opponent's maritime strength!

Although the Tomcat fighter is terrible, the United States still has a countermeasure, the Tomcat fighter sold to Pakistan at the price of cabbage that year, the Americans kept it! Now, it's time to take this back hand out! (To be continued.) )
