Chapter 511: Route Selection
While the rescue here was rapidly unfolding, Nathan piloted the fighter plane, and the last one landed on the aircraft carrier.
I attacked before dawn, and now I came back, it was almost noon, and everyone was quite tired from flying continuously, but everyone was very excited, and they were all rejoicing for today's success.
In case someone had a technical problem and couldn't land on the carrier, Nathan hovered until the last one landed, and when his plane came to a standstill, everyone lifted him out of the cockpit and threw him high into the sky.
Emily was also extremely excited, holding the camera, running onto the deck like a fan, clicking to take pictures of Nathan, leaving wonderful moments, these photos will also be shared with Jenny.
…………
Emily's face was full of surprise.
Everyone is celebrating, quite excited, at this time, Emily is inconvenient to communicate with Nathan too affectionately, after all, it is still necessary to avoid, in the public, Nathan and Jenny should be a couple, they can only live in the shadows, now, everyone is celebrating lively, Emily's photos are full, and he went to a dark room on the aircraft carrier to rinse.
Who would have thought that this would be the result now.
The men on deck, with their faces full of excitement, lifted Nathan up and threw him high.
And then, what about Nathan?
Not in the photo.
If there is no one, it may be that Nathan has flown high and his shooting level is limited, and he can't take pictures of all the people, but if there is no one, what does that mean?
Emily can't figure it out, no matter what scientific theory is used, it can't be explained, either, none, or both, why is everyone else in the picture, but not Nathan?
For example, in this one, Nathan has his left hand around Andrew and his right hand around his radar officer, and the three of them are together, standing on the deck.
But now, there are only Andrew and the radar officer left, Nathan in the middle, disappeared, Andrew's collar was pressed by Nathan's arm, some folds, this can be seen clearly, but, just can't see people.
It's like Nathan will be invisible, but everyone can see him, what the hell is going on?
Emily's heart was full of worry, she knew that this matter was not ordinary, it was probably related to Nathan's strange background, didn't this person belong here?
Nathan didn't know about Emily's worries, and after cheering with the others, he ran into the bridge, and that was over, and then there was something important.
"Nathan, well done this time!" Lieutenant Colonel Brown said to Nathan, "The Soviets still want to secretly help the Argentines, now we will blow them up!" ”
The power of cluster bombs is well known, and they have the same effect as incendiary bombs, and when it comes to extensive damage, cluster bombs are the most suitable.
Moreover, the Tomcat fighter was originally a fighter jet, and it has not yet been transformed for multi-purpose, and it is okay to hang a cluster bomb, and there is no corresponding interface for hanging that powerful air incendiary bomb.
Nathan nodded: "Yes, we have dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Soviets, but now, we still have a problem, the next route." ”
After this battle, the bomber base of the Soviets was blown to shreds, and at the same time, their whereabouts were exposed.
Next, what should they do?
To be safe, they should go back and take the Panama Canal again and enter the Atlantic, but then they will go far away, after all, they are very close to Argentina, and if they go like that, they will go in a big circle.
Then, there is another way left, which is to continue to the south and take the Drake Passage, but the northern part of the strait is the land of Argentina, and Argentina hates it so much when it bombs like this, so it is very dangerous for the Argentine navy to rush up and block the door?
After all, they only have a lone ship, and they will use a fleet, including their aircraft carrier May 25.
A warship without an escort is quite dangerous once it gets close.
How should you choose your own route?
Hearing Nathan's words, Lieutenant Colonel Brown also frowned and said, "Yes, it's a big problem. What about Nathan, your opinion? ”
"Take the Drake Passage, and we'll go there with great fanfare." Nathan said: "Our fighters are all in the air, some are equipped with anti-ship missiles, some are equipped with anti-aircraft missiles, and if the Argentines dare to dispatch their navy, then we will beat them severely!" ”
Nathan is full of pride at this time, don't look at us without escort warships, we dare to be lonely heroes, cross the strait alone, and at the same time, ready to fight at any time!
"However, if their military planes swarm up, I'm afraid we don't have enough ability, what if there are fish that slip through the net?" Lieutenant Colonel Brown asked.
After all, there are only 30 Tomcats on your side, and hundreds of land-based fighters on the other side may appear at any time.
Nathan had a smile on his face: "I didn't say that we can go around Cape Horn, we can go farther, as long as we leave the ice floe area, we can sail at will." ”
It is not only a proud pass, but there will be no accidents, the key is that this terrain is powerful.
Drake Passage, located between the southern tip of South America and the South Shetland Islands, is 300 kilometers long, more than 900 kilometers wide, with an average water depth of 3,400 meters and a maximum depth of 4,750 meters.
That's right, if you look at these data, the farthest thing is this width. The Drake Strait is the widest strait in the world, with a width of 970 kilometers and 890 kilometers at its narrowest point.
This place, said to be a strait, is actually not suitable, this is originally the sea, is it good? It is so wide, generally speaking, the strait is tens of kilometers wide, and it is impossible to open it for thousands of people, and the deployment of anti-ship missile positions on the coast can block the strait.
But here, more than 900 kilometers, as long as you sail 500 kilometers away, most of the other side's shore-based forces will not be able to fly.
As for their aircraft carriers, if they really dare to make a move, then they can sink the opponent's aircraft carrier and deal a heavy blow to the opponent!
Hearing Nathan's analysis, Lieutenant Colonel Brown nodded again and again: "Well, yes, let's choose this route, and I will immediately report this plan to the fleet commander." ”
They are not alone, just a few days ago, a nuclear submarine had joined them, keeping them safe underwater, and if Argentina had a water force, they could also use the nuclear submarine to wield it.
Generally speaking, most captains have the actual route in mind, that is, they almost follow the horn of Horn, and now, the sea is so wide that they are allowed to sail as they please.
