On the ocean, the weather conditions are very complex and changeable, and the sky is still clear, but the next moment, it may be stormy.

Among them, the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa is the most.

The Cape of Good Hope, which used to be called Cape of Good Hope but Cape Storm, is home to the warm Mozambican Agulhas Current from the Indian Ocean and the cold Benguela Current from the waters of Antarctica.

And in Namibia and Angola, in the north of South Africa, their coastlines are also often stormy and rough.

The weather has been relatively good these days, and the Soviet captain Nikolaev stood in the bow of the ship, looking at the coast in the distance with a telescope, sailing all the way, and finally approaching Angola.

Recently, the situation in Angola is very unoptimistic, UNITA, with the support of South Africa, as if taking an aphrodisiac, has invaded the north regardless of life and death, losing the support of the air force, and the SPLM and the Cuban army have fought very hard, in order to prevent the deterioration of the war situation, the Soviet Union has to transfer a large number of weapons from the country again, and his ship is mainly used to transport arms.

In addition to the four disassembled MiG-25s, there are also thirty T-72 main battle tanks, which have proven to be ineffective in the face of South African Horn tanks, and must use more advanced tanks, as well as anti-aircraft missiles, which are effective in destroying the equipment of the South African Air Force, as well as a large number of small arms and ammunition.

It was a munitions ship, in the name of civilianism, which came around the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the west coast of Africa.

Looking at the dark oppressive sky to the south, Nikolaev was a little anxious, and the sky seemed to be getting worse and worse.

"Boom, boom." Clouds rolled in the distance. At the same time, this muffled thunder is being heard.

"Attention, a big storm is coming." Nikolaev used a megaphone and shouted to the crew.

The engine in the tail section was turned up to its maximum power, the propeller stirred the current, and the boat began to accelerate.

Dark clouds soon came. In the midst of lightning and thunder, the raindrops the size of beans continued to fall, and the huge sea breeze set off huge waves several meters high.

"Wow." The bow plunged into the water and came up again, full of seawater.

Nikolaev tied himself to the cockpit, he knew that the situation at this time was very dangerous. He had to command the whole ship, and it was unfortunate that he caught up with such a big storm when he was only a day from the shoreline!

The wind and waves continued, and everyone felt the sky spinning, and their stomachs were churning, and even sailors who had lived at sea since childhood felt nauseous and wanted to vomit at this time.

In the storm. Everybody is working hard to protect the boat. Journey through this storm zone!

In the evening, when the storm finally subsided, the whole ship sat on the wet deck and breathed a sigh of relief.

Little did they know that an even greater threat was coming.

Just when the storm came. Rick had already flown his fighter plane, taking off from base and crossing the skies over Namibia, and by the time he arrived in Angolan waters, the weather had just improved.

Angola's radar network has been destroyed. In order not to expose himself, Rick was still flying at an ultra-low altitude, until he came to a hundred kilometers of the cargo ship, pulled up, and the radar operator in the rear compartment had already turned on the radar, locked on the cargo ship, and loaded the launch number of jù into the mounted Harpoon missile.

In the early days of the development of the F-14, there was no sea-to-ship attack capability, but now, the modified Tomcat, the APG-71 radar has a variety of modes, and the Tomcat has become a fierce attack cat.

There was a flash of fire under the wings, and in the dark sky, Harpoon missiles could be seen flying out.

Anti-ship missiles are all weapons that do not matter after launching, and after launching the Harpoon missile, Rick immediately flew back to the plane.

The anti-jamming capability of the Harpoon missile is very strong, and the probability of a single shot hitting is more than 80 percent.

The Harpoon missile lowered its altitude and flew at an altitude of several tens of meters above sea level, dragging a shallow bright light on its tail, and it used a turbojet engine.

Flying, constantly flying forward, when approaching the target area, the altitude drops to more than ten meters, the standard mode of attacking the warship, finally, the seeker of the Harpoon missile is turned on, and the target locked in advance is captured in an instant.

Next, it's time to attack! According to the set program, it did not choose to attack the top, but directly hit the waterline part of the opposing ship.

After more than two hours of fighting the storm, the sailors on board were exhausted, and it was dark, except for the necessary duty personnel, the rest had gone into the cabin to rest, they were tired, and soon they snored and fell into a sweet dream.

"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, a loud explosion woke them, and they opened their eyes to find that the hull of the ship was tilting rapidly, and then they were immediately terrified, in the cabin, if the ship was pulled upside down, they would not be able to escape. They ran quickly towards the deck, the small hatches, they were colliding with each other, and no one would let them go in a matter of life and death.

"Boom!" At this moment, there was another violent explosion, and in front of their eyes, there was a violent fire, and with this explosion, the ship suddenly cracked in the middle and split into two parts.

There was an explosion in the munitions!

The ships were full of munitions, and they were cautious all the way over, it seemed that it was the big storm just now that changed these munitions, and as a result, they exploded!

No one saw the flying missile, and they all thought it was the explosion of the munitions they were transporting.

The ship was cut in two, and several sailors looked desperately at the gushing water, and then they were swallowed by the sea, and several sailors, who went to the deck, did not even have time to take the lifebuoy, and they jumped into the water.

It was night, hundreds of kilometers from the coastline, and even if they swam past it like this, it would be difficult for them to survive.

Nikolaev did not run away, he silently looked at the sea water that gradually came up, and chose to stay with the ship, he remembered what the military personnel told him when he came, what went wrong with these arms on the way, he was mainly responsible! Even if he escaped, he would face interrogation by the KGB guys.

They didn't even have time to send a distress signal before they sank to the bottom, and in the storm just now, their boat's radio antenna was interrupted by the waves.

It was an unquiet night, and in the second half of the night, the moon rose, and the clear moonlight shone on the sea, which was covered with oil and floated with some fragments of ships.

Two pillars of light, hitting the water, a 10,000-ton freighter, the first to discover the wreck here, immediately launched a rescue operation, and at the same time, issued a clear distress signal.

At dawn, an Aegis destroyer of the US Navy arrived here, and at the same time, a salvage ship of an international rescue organization had also arrived.

The Angolan Navy, which got the news, sent two gunboats and also rushed to the area where the incident occurred, but when they arrived, they saw the Aegis destroyer of the US Navy, and they could not get any closer.

The Angolan Navy could not confirm that the cargo ship belonged to their country, and moreover, it was now a salvage ship of an international rescue organization, and they did not have any reason to expel it, and more than a hundred kilometers away, it had long since fallen out of their territorial waters.

As a result, the Angolan Navy could only watch the salvage ship operate there, preparing to salvage the wreck.

South Africa, Nolos base.

"Mr. Rick, your plan is so thorough." Dennis, commander of the South African Air Force, said to Rick: "Last night's attack completely destroyed the cargo ship, which is full of weapons shipped by the Soviet Union to Angola, if it is obtained by the rebel army of Angola, our soldiers will have greater casualties." ”

"Last night's attack?" Rick looked at Dennis with puzzled eyes: "Your Excellency, what attack did we have last night?" ”

"Yes, no, no." Dennis said with a smile: "That cargo ship was sunk by a strong wind and waves. ”

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, we have to keep a close watch, it is said that the Cuban Air Force has obtained a new batch of fighters, which should be training at a certain airport, as soon as you find their fighters, notify us immediately, and we will destroy their fighters." Rick said.

Before the enemy situation is determined, Rick's team will not take off, first let those Mirage 3 in South Africa patrol over Angola, and after discovering enemy aircraft, Rick's fleet will fight against it, for aimless cruising missions, Rick is not interested.

"Okay, we're going to beat the Cuban Air Force." Dennis said.

"One more thing, at your invitation, we are about to bring two Spey engines over, and a company of Leopard 2 tanks will also be driven into the Angolan battlefield to launch an attack together with your armored forces."

"That's great news!" Dennis said.

As soon as Spey's performance is confirmed, they will rework and revise their Carver Fighter program.

The fighting in Angola is still going on, and the troops of UNITA and Cuba are constantly advancing northward, and they are like a rainbow.

The sky is clear, and the South African Air Force's Mirage 3 fighter jets patrol the sky.

When the engine can not meet the performance requirements, you need to start from the aerodynamic layout, France due to the weakness of the engine, so they prefer to use the aerodynamic layout of the delta wing to improve the performance of the fighter, Mirage 3 is the product of this thinking.

Relying on this layout, the Mirage 3 can reach Mach 2 in level flight, becoming a typical second-generation aircraft that attaches importance to high-altitude and high-speed performance.

At this time, the pilots of the South African Air Force were vigilantly searching the sky to provide support for their own troops, and suddenly, they discovered several targets flying at ultra-low altitudes on the ground. (To be continued......)
