Although Huaxia expressed a serious protest, the United States still insisted on going its own way, and the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier formation sailed forward in the wind and waves, and the entire formation shed splashes behind it.

"As a navy, the highest honor is to be the captain of an aircraft carrier." Captain Michael, the captain of the Kitty Hawk, stood on the tall bridge and looked at the sea in the distance, and couldn't help but say.

The aircraft carrier is a symbol of America's maritime power! Even in the heyday of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union did not dare to confront the American formation at sea, and now that the Soviet Union has collapsed, the United States' maritime power is the largest armed force in the world, and no country's armed forces can gain advantage in front of the Great Wall of the United States! Even for weak countries, a single aircraft carrier formation can destroy them.

The escort cruisers and destroyers can launch hundreds of Tomahawk cruise missiles to attack ground targets, and the 80 carrier-based aircraft on board the aircraft carrier are a formidable and formidable force.

"The Chinese side has expressed a strong protest against us." Next to him, Colonel Kate, the wing commander of the Fifth Carrier-based Aircraft Wing, said: "Under the current circumstances, we choose to pass through the Wanwan Strait in a high-profile manner, which may provoke Huaxia, and if they really jump over the wall in a hurry, we may not be able to react." ”

The most powerful force of an aircraft carrier is the carrier-based aircraft wing, and as the wing leader, he has a lot of power, and even sometimes the captain of the aircraft carrier has to listen to the wing commander.

As the one who eventually took part in the battle, Colonel Kate voiced his concerns. Unlike before, if the United States has more than two aircraft carriers in the island nation and a large number of land-based fighters in Guam and other places, Colonel Kate will not be afraid of anything at all.

But now, the Iran war is in full swing, and many of the US military forces are stationed in East Asia. The US military has been able to dispatch no more than 50 land-based fighters in East Asia, which is a very low number, and the bombers and attack planes of the strategic forces have been transferred to the Middle East.

Although the United States has the upper hand in the battle against Iran. But a definitive solution to the Iranian problem? Colonel Kate, who had participated in military operations against Iran, was not so optimistic.

"Kate, if you look at the problem, it's just from the point of view of military struggle, while the Pentagon and the White House will rise to a strategic level, which is why they are politicians and we are soldiers." Colonel Michael said: "As a soldier. All we have to do is obey the orders of our superiors. ”

In fact, as the captain of an aircraft carrier, he also needs a wise mind and skills in dealing with various political issues, and it is precisely with political considerations that Colonel Michael feels that this order from the White House has far-reaching significance.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the White House had to change its attitude toward China. It's time to curb the rise of China! And the Kitty Hawk, as an aircraft carrier stationed in East Asia. will take on more missions.

"Report, just received a message from Washington." Just then, an intelligence officer said.

"Bring it." After receiving the information, Colonel Michael's eyes widened: "It seems that Huaxia's reaction is still very violent, and a landing exercise is going to be held." And another test of a ballistic missile strike on a surface ship? Kate, you see, what do you think, how likely is it to hit an aircraft carrier with a ballistic missile? ”

After speaking. Colonel Michael had a smile in his eyes, Huaxia was crazy, he could actually come up with such an idea?

"If it's a nuclear warhead, that's at least 50 percent likely." Colonel Kate was not at all happy.

Nuclear warhead! You must know that China is a country with nuclear weapons, and if the ballistic missiles that fall from the sky have conventional warheads, even the last frigate of the aircraft carrier formation cannot be touched, and if nuclear weapons are used, the entire formation will probably be wiped out.

Nuclear weapon? Hearing Colonel Kate's words, Captain Michael sneered: "Nuclear weapons, they are only used for deterrence!" If Huaxia really dares to attack our fleet with nuclear warheads, then it wants to usher in complete destruction! ”

If China really threatens with nuclear weapons, then its own aircraft carrier formation will still enter through the middle line of the strait in Wanwan, and when the time comes, if the other side really greets with nuclear bombs, it is simply trying to attract the most powerful counterattack by the United States, and the thousands of nuclear warheads aimed at the Soviet Union during the Cold War will flatten the entire China.

Nuclear weapons, only deterrent.

Hearing Captain Michael say this, Colonel Kate didn't say much, this reason is very clear, not to mention that Huaxia promised not to use nuclear weapons in the first place, however, Colonel Kate was a little uneasy in his heart, this time, if he made such a serious provocation, if he really angered Huaxia, maybe they would really do something crazy.

Huaxia, Shanxi.

This is the main energy producing area of China, and there are rich coal resources buried underground, and since the time of Yan Xishan, it has relied on this black gold to obtain wealth. And now, the coal here is still supporting the construction of the country.

Buried deep underground, where there are coal seams, there will be miners, there will be mining machinery, and over time, many mountains have been hollowed out, and many mines that look nothing special from the outside have other uses.

At this time, in an abandoned mine, in the rumbling sound, a Hanyang trailer drove out, pulling a trailer behind it, the cylindrical object on the trailer, the appearance of a boiler, and a lot of openings.

It's just the dark green camouflage, and the military vehicles driving out of the front and rear, which means that this is actually a military equipment.

The convoy followed the mountain road, winding and circling, driving in the mountains, and after an hour, it came to a flat land in the mountains, all the vehicles stopped, and the soldiers wearing Type 92 military uniforms got out of the cars and made nervous preparations, and on the epaulettes, there was a yellow five-pointed star, pressed on a rocket, and the Chinese characters on it clearly wrote the words of the Second Artillery.

The big boiler-like thing, slowly rising, under the action of the hydraulic cylinder, gradually rose, and finally became a vertical state.

"Fifteen minutes before launch." A voice shouted, "Prepare to receive a satellite signal." ”

"Determine the coordinates of the launch position and prepare for the launch of Zhuyuan."

Under one command after another, the preparations before the launch were carried out in an orderly manner.

At this time, in the eastern sea of Jeju Island, an old fishing boat, emitting thick smoke, was sailing at full power, and the upper part of the fishing boat's building had been dismantled and welded with steel plates, and from a distance, the deck of this fishing boat was straight and very aircraft carrier-like.

It's a pity that there is a lot of difference in tonnage, less than 1,000 tons of fishing boats, which are already relatively large, and there is black smoke on the top, indicating that this is the diesel engine of the old boat, which has entered its twilight years.

A helicopter, operating remotely from a distance, this target ship has been changed to a remote-controlled operation, and there is no need for a person to operate it, after all, this is a modified target ship, and after a while, it will be sunk.

Huaxia's anti-ship ballistic missiles hit the aircraft carrier's live-fire target, and the curtain has already begun! In order to simulate as realistically as possible, there are several small fishing boats around this "aircraft carrier", which is to increase the difficulty of target shooting and enhance the realism of the exercise.

Moreover, these target ships are not stationary, they are flying at maximum speed.

As we approached Nagasaki, we could see from a distance that a US Navy reconnaissance plane was also flying in the sky, observing the target shooting test in China.

Originally, they wanted to send warships over, but for fear that the ballistic missile would find the wrong target and blow up their destroyer, the Americans still honestly sent planes over to observe.

This test was originally intended to deter the United States, so the Chinese side did not block the Americans' observations.

In space, a marine resources observation satellite is scanning the sea area, accurately capturing this "aircraft carrier formation", and at the same time transmitting information back through communication satellites.

"One minute to prepare." At the ballistic missile launch site, the atmosphere was already highly tense, and as the countdown continued to decrease, all the fighters held their breath.

"Launch!" The final command finally came, and the operator pressed the red button.

"Bang." With the sound of compressed air, a huge ballistic missile flew out of the "boiler" and left the ground, which was born from the Julang-1, and used the same cold launch method.

After flying twenty meters away from the "boiler", a blazing flame suddenly emerged from the bottom of the missile, and the entire missile, as if it had eaten a stimulant, accelerated instantly, dragged the flames, jumped high into the sky, and was successfully launched!

A few minutes later, the burned first-stage solid engine fell off, and the second-stage solid engine ignited, pushing the missile to continue to accelerate.

In space, the marine resources satellite is still methodically observing the movements of ships at sea and continuously tracking them.

Detached from the dense atmosphere, the liquid secondary injection device of the second-stage engine continuously spews out air currents, pushing itself to change course, and through the data transmitted by the synchronous satellite, the first orbit change flight is carried out.

After a minute of flying in outer space, the warhead of the ballistic missile separates, strokes a graceful trajectory, and re-enters the atmosphere!

This warhead, unlike ordinary ballistic missile warheads, is equipped with control wings, that is, control systems that can cooperate with maneuvering reentry technology, including pneumatic rudder and steering systems, and a radar system at the front end of the warhead. This also increases the weight of the warhead, 200 of which are of the 600 kilograms of the warhead, including the weight of the attached cooling system.

Thanks to the development of electronic technology, these accessories are already very light. (To be continued.) )
