Phuket Sound Naval Shipyard, West Coast, USA.

Overhead, you can hear the roar of jets in the distance, and when you look up, you can see that it is a Tomcat fighter with variable sweep wings, and when you see this fighter in flight, you will always feel your blood boiling.

I think it's been a few months since I've flown a Tomcat, but if I want to fly, I can definitely do it at any time, because flying has penetrated deep into my body and has become an instinctive reaction.

In front of us is the aircraft carrier Oriscany, which is rapidly completing its transformation.

It's all next to each other.

Mirama Air Station is very close to the Bremerton Military Port, and next to the Bremerton Military Port is the Phuket Bay Naval Shipyard.

Therefore, although this shipyard has not actually built much aircraft carriers, it is still the most convenient to hand over the modification of aircraft carriers here, after all.

After deciding to join the British Navy, Nathan will not go all the way to the British mainland, and now Nathan will just be here, and when this aircraft carrier is refitted, he will just train on this aircraft carrier.

Now it can be seen that the deck of the aircraft carrier has been repaired, and just in front of the deck, where it was disassembled, the latest steam catapults are being buried.

The crews of Britain's newly formed aircraft carriers will also arrive here one after another, participate in the sea trials, and after completing the sea trials, they will directly go to the South Atlantic to participate in the war.

Nathan was the first to come.

Just as he was silently staring at everything here, a voice came from his ears: "Instructor Nathan, Andrew has come to report to you!" ”

Nathan turned his head back, and saw Andrew in military uniform, and the others, most of whom were his former students, at this time, their faces were excited.

"Andrew, what are you doing here?" Nathan asked.

"I'm going to fight, I'm going to fly the Tomcat and fight bravely with the Argentines!" Andrew said.

Hearing this, Nathan patted him on the shoulder: "Good job! ”

The British royal family has never shirked its responsibilities.

At that time, during World War II, Germany's iron hooves trampled all over Europe, and it seemed that it would be able to cross the sea at any time, occupy LinkedIn, and there were bombers overhead every day, and the Germans wanted to use this way to bring Britain to its knees.

However, the UK does not.

The British continued to resist on the isolated island, and the British royal family did not evacuate, and the British royal family appeared on the streets of London every day, enduring the bombardment of the Germans with the people of London.

In this way, Britain survived, and the British royal family gained high prestige.

Now, it is another test, Britain is once again facing the threat of war, and members of the British royal family have a tradition of joining the army, Prince Andrew, who happens to be in the navy.

So, can Prince Andrew back down?

If he wanted to back down, it was easy, just a dispatch to keep him on the ground.

However, Prince Andrew did not, he made three reports in succession, asking to go to the aircraft carrier to participate in the operation, in particular, he was the pilot of the first Tomcat fighters! He's a veteran, too.

Prince Andrew won't back down.

Now, when he heard that their Flying Wing Captain was Nathan, he was even more excited, his own teacher, fighting side by side with him!

This is international friendship!

Nathan risked his life to save the hostages, and that was because Nathan was also an American, but now, when there was a conflict in Britain and he needed help, Nathan still reached out.

This spirit of Nathan, which is the noble spirit of international friendship, is not seen in President Carter.

Thinking of President Carter's reaction, the British people are cold, fortunately, there are people like Nathan, and in the future, if Nathan wants to run for president of the United States, Britain will definitely fully support it! Although you can't interfere, it's absolutely fine to provide some campaign funds.

Nathan looked at the people present: "We are about to participate in a sea and air battle, before your plane arrives, let's use the model and study the tactics." ”

Waiting for the interval between the refurbishment of the aircraft carrier, the own side cannot relax, and it is during this time that it is time to familiarize itself with the real operation.

Getting the plane up and running is only the first step in a long march of 10,000 miles, and what to do with a real combat flight is the most important thing.

In history, Andrew also participated in this war, but at that time he was the pilot of the Sea King helicopter and did not fight on the front line, now it is different, Andrew is going to personally participate in the front line war, or a fighter pilot, there will inevitably be more situations, and now, it is necessary to cooperate tacitly.

"In the middle of nowhere, the target can come from any direction, so don't think it's safe to be behind our back." Nathan began to explain: "We set up the first line of defense two hundred nautical miles around the aircraft carrier, and we constantly patrol and fly. ”

After saying this, Nathan always felt that something was missing: "By the way, our navy, we haven't ordered early warning aircraft yet, right?" ”

In the Falklands War in history, Britain relied on the Invincible-class light aircraft carrier formation and relied on Sea Harrier fighters to fight, and the performance was ridiculously poor, otherwise it would not have lost several warships.

The biggest threat is the anti-ship missile, which flies at an ultra-low altitude, and in this case, the warship's own sea search radar finds that the distance is quite close, and when it is discovered, it is too late to react.

It was also because of the discovery of this weakness that after the end of the war, Britain stepped up research and development and added a rotatable radar to the side of the Sea King helicopter to become an early warning helicopter.

This thing, that is, to solve the problem of having or not, you can't expect high performance at all, but it's better than nothing.

Now, Nathan asked, and everyone present shook their heads: "No." ”

Think about it, the current British Navy simply does not have superfluous early warning capabilities, relying on the search of Tomcat fighters? This is also unreliable, and there is no telling when the other party will come, and there will definitely be fish that slip through the net.

If you want to meet the uninterrupted patrol mission, you can only rely on the E-2 early warning aircraft, and in the discussion of tactics with you, this problem needs to be solved!

"We need the E-2 AWACS." Nathan said: "I need four, this matter, it must not be delayed, give me an ocean call, I need to contact Major General Woodward." ”

The British admiral that Nathan is familiar with is Rear Admiral Woodward, and at the same time, everything Nathan is arranged by the other party, and now, Nathan answered the phone and talked with Rear Admiral Woodward for more than ten minutes, and the other party made a decision: "The problem of funding, I will find a way, the problem of equipment, please work hard." ”
