On the surface of the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean, the Chinese Navy's Jiangsu aircraft carrier battle group, which sailed around the Strait of Malacca, has entered a state of combat duty. The aircraft carrier was formed at the end of 1999 and is a relatively cutting-edge aircraft carrier, and its model is the highest model of the current Chinese Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, equipped with the Iron Curtain 003 type.

In the second half of the nineties, both China and the United States entered a substantial arms race, and although no one admits this on the surface, both countries are stepping up the manufacture of various military equipment, as if hoping that stronger military forces can deter each other and thus reduce the likelihood of war. Of course, from Qi Yiming's point of view, there is only one purpose for creating more tools of war, that is, a world war and reformulating the world order.

On the other hand, the last Nimitz-class aircraft carrier was not built until 2006, and now in 1998, the last Bush aircraft carrier has entered service, and in order to compete with the supercarrier of more than 110,000 tons developed by China, the Americans immediately launched their own Ford-class aircraft carrier more than ten years in advance, and the tonnage has also been enlarged to about 110,000 tons. Originally, the United States lacked key technologies such as all-electric propulsion and electromagnetic catapult, but Kirk, who was squatting in Alaska, provided a lot of help, and finally let the first Ford-class aircraft carrier outfitting of the US military in the summer of this year for the final sea trials before entering service, and it is expected to be delivered before the end of the year.

As a result, the U.S. military actually operates a grand fleet of 16 aircraft carriers, consisting of 4 Kitty Hawk class, 1 Enterprise class, 10 Nimitz class, and 1 Ford-class aircraft.

At the same time, as the main competitor of the United States, the Chinese Navy is also making great strides forward in the process of building its own aircraft carrier fleet. At present, the Chinese Navy operates two Type 001 aircraft carriers from the former Soviet Union, one Ulyanovsk-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier from the former Soviet Union, four Type 002 80,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, five Type 003 110,000-ton Iron Curtain nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and one Type 004 150,000-ton UAV nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, with a total of 13 ships.

Moreover, in the development plan of the Chinese Navy, the 003 aircraft carrier will be developed to the scale of 5 more ships, and if there is a big war, it may be built and put into service more quickly. In recent years, by observing the development of the shipbuilding industry in China and the United States, it can be seen that the production capacity of China's shipbuilding industry has actually been far behind the United States, although there are not many enterprises in China that can manufacture large combat ships such as aircraft carriers, but in terms of manufacturing speed and quantity, they are stronger than the United States. And if you count the countless ordinary shipyards that can build naval ships with lower requirements and smaller tonnage, China can directly blow up the United States.

After the completion of the Jiangsu aircraft carrier, it was first deployed in Zuoying Port in Taiwan and was subordinate to the Chinese Pacific Fleet. Since the navy carried out a new round of reform, the traditional Three Seas Fleet has been transformed into a coastal defense fleet, and a large number of main warships have been transferred out of the Three Seas Fleet, and now the Three Seas Fleet is only operating a small number of light frigates, conventionally powered submarines, and other light naval vessels suitable for coastal activities, while the main ships of the Navy have been incorporated into the new "High Seas Fleet."

At this time, China has organized four new fleets, the largest of which is the Pacific Fleet at its doorstep, which has to maintain more than five ground aircraft carrier battle groups and more than four ground amphibious battle groups on a regular basis, and also has three nuclear submarine sub-fleets, mainly used for sea-based nuclear deterrence; The second is the Indian Ocean Fleet, which mainly uses overseas bases around the Indian Ocean, such as Gwadar and Mogadishu, and maintains 2-3 aircraft carrier battle groups, 2 amphibious battle groups, and 1 nuclear submarine detachment on a regular basis; The second is the Mediterranean Fleet, whose home ports are mainly located in Yugoslavia and Romania, and generally have only one aircraft carrier battle group and one amphibious battle group; Relatively speaking, the weakest is the Atlantic Fleet stationed in Angola, which is basically the meaning of the existence of a fleet, which is slightly worse than other large fleets, without aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships, but equipped with a number of attack nuclear submarines, mainly cruisers, destroyers and other types of ships.

After the 911 incident in the United States, the United States began to exert force in Iraq, converging several aircraft carrier battle groups and other heavy forces in the Middle East, while China needed to offset the strength of the US military in the region, so it continued to increase troops to the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the two aircraft carriers Jiangsu (Type 003) and Hubei (Type 002), which had not yet been deployed, were immediately sent to the waters of the Indian Ocean to prepare to deal with the US military. Two Chinese aircraft carrier battle groups, the Anhui (Type 001) and the Sichuan (Type 003), which were stationed in Mogadishu and Gwadar at the same time, also set sail for the Mozambique Strait to intercept the US naval fleet approaching from the direction of the Atlantic.

When the Flag Burning War broke out, the aircraft carrier Jiangsu, which had been preparing to enter the Gwadar port, changed its destination to the Bay of Bengal to support friendly forces that were conducting military operations in northeastern India, and at the same time blockaded the Indian navy and completely locked India in the subcontinent.

On the aircraft carrier Jiangsu, Zhang Juzuo, the newly transferred commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, appeared very calm and calm; in his early years, he was an academic officer, and his encounter with the aircraft carrier made him a real naval officer who led the troops. He then served as captain of destroyers, amphibious assault ships, and after retiring as captain, he served as political commissar in the North Sea Fleet, then rose to vice admiral, and then became commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet.

His steady progress naturally has a certain relationship with Qi Yiming's memory of the other plane, but after the transformation, Zhang Juzuo is also working very hard to absorb knowledge and accumulate experience, otherwise he would not be enough to be entrusted with important tasks. Zhang Juzuo had participated in the Gulf War and was also a veteran general with relatively rich experience in warfare, and this time, in the capacity of fleet commander, he commanded the four aircraft carrier battle groups of the Indian Ocean Fleet and nearly 100 main warships, and he did not hesitate at all, and he did a good job of fulfilling the instructions of the General Staff Headquarters.

"Commander, for the time being, there is no indication that the Indian Navy is leaving the port, and it seems that they are planning to retreat."

Zhang Juzuo nodded slightly, and commented: "Compared with our fleet, the Indian Navy has a huge difference in combat power, although India has the so-called two aircraft carriers, but they are both light aircraft carriers that take off and land Sea Harriers, and their combat effectiveness is quite limited, and the combat strength of the supporting escort ships is far from ours, in fact, after our Indian Ocean Fleet was formed, the Indians rarely dared to swagger in front of us. Naturally, he would not easily send a fleet to meet the defeat when he knew that he was defeated. ”

The staff officer said: "The Indian army's air force still has some capital, and the enemy we probably need to pay attention to the most is the attack of their air force." ”

Zhang Juzuo did not deny this, but he said confidently: "We have 75 fighters on the Jiangsu, whether it is F-14CN or J-31, it is more than enough to deal with the F-15, MiG-29, and Mirage 2000 of the Indian Air Force." However, it is good not to underestimate the enemy, and it is necessary to be vigilant against the movements of the Indian army. ”

At this time, new information came from the communication, and Zhang Juzuo saw that there was no change in his expression, but he handed the love newspaper to the people around him and said: "The Americans can't sit still, they are going to do it!" ”

Although everyone knew that this day was a matter of time or night, when they heard the news, the officers and men on the ship still showed various states. Some people don't say anything like Zhang Juzuo, some people seem more nervous, and some people are very excited, of course, there are also a small number of people who are very anxious, because after all, this is a competition with another superpower in the world, even if they feel that their own advantages are great, but from the beginning it is still unpredictable.

"US President George W. Bush has already made a speech, expressing strong dissatisfaction with China's 'invasion' of India and solemnly condemning it, Bush Jr. said that the security of the free world has been threatened by centralization and dictatorship, and the terrorist forces supported by China and some countries are forming a huge hidden danger to the United States, and the United States cannot condone the situation to continue to deteriorate. The staff officer next to him selectively read out the important contents, and everyone laughed at the stylized tone of the United States.

Zhang Juzuo said: "There is still a gap between the president of George W. Bush and the previous two US presidents, and he is relatively reckless in his conduct and decision-making, and many issues are not clearly considered, and some advances and retreats are out of ground. Eighty percent of the United States is going to be ruined in the hands of this president! What kind of ultimatum did they have to those small countries before, and Bush Jr. is like directly issuing a vague notice of declaration of war to us, but what does the US military have in the Indian Ocean now? A USS Johnstennis aircraft carrier battle group, now terrified of being surrounded by us, has been wandering south of the equator, plus those bombers of Diego Garcia, who are in a hurry to let out cruel words when they are not ready, this is really unwise! ”

However, Zhang Juzuo did not know that Bush Jr. was still worse than he said, and after making such a speech, Bush Jr. even intervened in the command of the armed forces, demanding that the US military must immediately strike at the Chinese troops that have occupied southern Tibet within a short period of time, without ignoring the reality that the US military strength in the Indian Ocean region is relatively weak.

As a result, the U.S. military had to formulate a "Thor's hammer plan" to use B-52 bombers from the Diego Garcia base to bomb the Chinese army in northeastern India using out-of-theater attack cruise missiles.
