Chapter 226 226 The clouds of war rise

If the United States moves in earnest, Britain will be somewhat unable to sit still. Margaret Thatcher is now under pressure from both inside and outside, forcing her to give up the option of intervening by force, but the stubborn Iron Lady doesn't want to give up just like that. The British army has not shot down a single PLA fighter plane, has not sunk a single PLA warship, and it is estimated that there has not even been a single SAF casualty.

"We have to take action, we have to let the world see our strength, before we announce the withdrawal of troops, I want to see our bombs dropped in Kuala Lumpur, thrown at that Wang Wuguo's office!" Margaret Thatcher directly crossed the command system at all levels and gave the death order to Weatherall, who was on the front line.

This is obviously inappropriate, but no one dares to touch the scale of the Prime Minister's wife at this time.

Weatherall was somewhat worried, and his repeated attempts to solve the southern solution had made the British army become a rat trap. Although the route has been almost swept away, Weatherall knows that once the battle with the South Liberation begins in the Strait of Malacca, the outcome is really unpredictable. Although he has two aircraft carriers, more than 30 Sea Harrier fighters, more than 30 Tornado fighters that can take off from Diego Garcia, and more than 10 destroyers to form an air defense network and firepower network, Diego Garcia also has several Victory bombers, as long as he gathers all the strength and says that he can't teach Nanjie a lesson, Weatherall himself doesn't believe it.

But such a battle of spirit will undoubtedly bring huge losses to the British army, and there are many tricky submarines in the Southern Liberation Army, with dozens of advanced fighters, at least Weatherall thinks it is a near-close contest.

But he hesitated and couldn't wait, Margaret Thatcher personally gave him the order and time to attack, and behind Margaret Thatcher was the tighter and tighter the rope of the Americans, and the longer it dragged on, the less likely it would be for Britain to do it. At that time, Britain could only swallow the bitter fruit of being played by the Chinese.

"I order, task force, sortie!" After doing a good job in his own psychological construction, Weatherall took out the spirit of a professional soldier and let his subordinates see a commander who was full of confidence. And the majestic task force seems to have allowed some British sailors to weaken the frustration of their previous constant defeat.

Several officers encouraged the ship's personnel: "It's time, let's take the harshest revenge on those Chinks, and tell them that they are still gnawing opium while we are galloping on the sea!" "Chinks is a slurious term for the Chinese, as is called Nigger, a black man. The etymology is that the Chinese piglet who was sold to North America said that he was from the Qing Dynasty, and there was no Chinese pinyin, so he replaced it with the transliterated Chink. Later, the term spread to various English-speaking countries, and was constantly used because of the mildness of the Chinese.

With the Ark Royal and the aircraft carrier Invincible as the core, with 6 destroyers and 6 frigates, and a Trafalgar-class attack nuclear submarine Indefatigable, accompanied by several supply ships, sailed away from the Diego Garcia base and headed northeast.

In order to prevent the main fleet from being attacked by the PLA submarines to the greatest extent, four large anti-submarine patrol planes opened the way for these warships and constantly cooperated with surface ships in anti-submarine warfare.

Qi Yiming's official residence in Kuala Lumpur, a message from the S20 submarine in the Indian Ocean woke him up directly from his sleep.

Jiang Huayan, the girlfriend next to her, rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "Yiming, it's still the middle of the night, why did you wake up and have a nightmare?" ”

Qi Yiming shook his girlfriend's smooth little hand and said, "It's nothing, it's a matter of work, you can go to sleep." He bowed his head and kissed Jiang Huayan, he got up in his clothes, and quickly went to the sub-base in the Tidi Wangsa Mountains accompanied by several Red Police soldiers.

Jiang Huayan felt the heavy heart and unconcealable excitement when her boyfriend kissed her just now, she just prayed that no matter what it was, she hoped that God would make Qi Yiming more smooth.

When she walked out of the mansion, Ye Yaozi, who had two black circles under her eyes, also followed, and she was also inexplicably excited, and shouted: "Are you going to fight, are you going to fight?" The John Bulls finally can't stand it anymore! ”

Not long ago, she didn't know where she saw the sporadic paintings of "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year", and by the way, she also knew what Qi Yiming always called the Celestial Empire a rabbit, and now their small circle of people, because they are all relatively young and have a strong ability to accept, have begun to talk nonsense.

Qi Yiming smiled and said, "Don't worry, from Diego Garcia to the Strait of Malacca, with their sailing speed, there are at least three more days to go, and we can knead them by our temperament." ”

Ye Yaozi cut and said: "What are you pretending to be calm, it's early in the morning, if you really don't feel shocked like this, why don't you sleep until dawn with your woman in your arms, and then go to the headquarters by the way to do morning exercises?" ”

Qi Yiming was blushed a little by this **** who became cold after leaving the local elders, and he no longer talked back to her, and said, "Are you coming or not?" ”

"Come on, come on, don't go for anything." Ye Yaozi smiled and followed Qi Yiming into the car.

Qi Yiming actually has a command system on his special car here, which is convenient for him to issue any orders to control the Red Police. Ye Yaozi didn't know what was going on, but she was also curious and excited when she saw that the original extended version of the luxury car was full of electronic equipment.

"The shore-to-ship missile unit has entered a state of readiness and has begun to conduct the last round of combat readiness inspections!" Qi Yiming calmly ordered.

His C-602 shore-to-ship missile unit is almost the last layer of defense in the southern Malayan area of actual control. A shore-to-ship missile battalion is composed of a command vehicle, a radar vehicle, six triple-mounted missile launchers, and six replenishment vehicles, each battalion is equipped with a total of 36 C-602 anti-ship missiles, with a maximum range of 400 kilometers, and a certain relay guidance or satellite guidance is required within the maximum range.

To ensure that nothing went wrong, Qi Yiming pulled all four missile battalions to the Indian Ocean side of the west coast, preparing to meet the British Royal Navy's task force.

Ye Yaozi sat on the side and said with great interest: "The 4 Phantom 4000s that came from France have also entered the state of combat readiness, but the number is a little less, there are not many of them, and there are not many of them." But if these planes are in the limelight again this time, the French will have to laugh behind their backs again. ”

Qi Yiming said: "Thirty percent of the parts of the Phantom 4000 are made by us, and they sell well, and we also make money." Not to mention, the main fighters are our Thunder Dragon and Flying Leopard, this battle is fought beautifully, and it will definitely be able to emerge in the international market in the future. ”

"The Thunder Dragon is very good, for some small countries with relatively small land, strong applicability and inexpensive, we have sold more than 400 aircraft in two years after launching, and I think it will not be a problem to break through 1,000 in the future."

In fact, the Thunder Dragon has an order of 410 planes without counting the order of the Southern Solution, of which Saudi Arabia and Iran are the bulk of the orders, Saudi Arabia was pitted by Qi Yiming, bought 200 planes and left, it is estimated that most of them will be thrown in the desert and idle, while Iran is used more frequently and has a good evaluation. It is only because the battle front is constantly unfolding that several Thunders have been shot down by anti-aircraft artillery and missiles, but there has not been a single case of being shot down by enemy aircraft.

Nanjie also ordered 100 Thunder Dragons, of course, half of which is a base production that does not cost money. Counting the total order volume of these Thunder Dragons has reached more than 500 aircraft, if you run it well in other countries that have the demand for third-generation fighters, it should not be a problem to sell 1,000 in the end, and it can be expected to become an international fighter that is not inferior to the F-16.

Qi Yiming has high hopes for the PLA Air Force, hoping to erect a frame that can reduce the pressure on air defense in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea for the PLA, so Qi Yiming wants to pull the PLA Air Force into a scale close to that of the Israeli Air Force or the Japanese Air Force. In the initial construction, the fighters had 60 Mirage 4000s for air superiority, 100 FC-1s for multi-purpose, and 120 FBC-1s for attack aircraft.

Such a composition is clearly focused on the ability to attack the sea, and although the large number of flying leopards transferred by the HNA cannot be expected too much in air combat, it can also provide a strong anti-ship capability and help the tasks of its own ships operating in the sea area.

Of course, if the economy allows, it is also good to add more FC-1s to enhance the level of air supremacy, and the reason why the heavy ground-to-sea light air supremacy is mainly because there is basically no decent enemy in this area, so there is no need to establish a large-scale air superiority fleet.

At this time, the PLA Air Force was naturally not equipped with so many fighters, mainly sixty Flying Leopards and sixty Thunder Dragons, plus four Mirage 4000s that arrived in the early stage. It is said that these four Mirage fighters have not yet been installed with a data link system that communicates with other combat units, but only temporarily installed a friend or foe identifier, and it is obvious that they will have to be returned to the factory for remodification after the war.

"Attention to all combat bomber units, take stock of the anti-ship forces."

"Attention to all fighter units, take stock of the anti-aircraft armament."

Although the Thunder Dragon can also carry two YJ-83K for anti-ship operations, its role in air combat cannot be realized. As a full-time "missile attack aircraft", the Flying Leopard can be loaded with four anti-ship missiles under its wings, and it can also hang four other weapons for self-defense, which is obviously more practical than the Thunder.

There are not many cards in his hand, but Qi Yiming is convinced that the two cards of shore-to-ship missiles and the air force can be used as trump cards at this time, he looked at the display window of his base, there is still a trace of blank left in the experience bar, and after filling up, the base can be successfully promoted to Lv2, he left the homeland, left the center of power and came to this hot Southeast Asian region, provoking disputes and intensifying contradictions, for the sake of this moment?

The more excited he was, the more calm Qi Yiming became, but he was still looking forward to waiting for those unsightly John Bulls to hit his muzzle and send sweet experience points.
