Chapter 102: New Situation
"In other words, all of your actions are to consume the fuel of the MiG-25 of the Soviets, so that they can't come to our heads to reconnoitre?"
On the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier, Nathan and Guth stood up straight, reporting to Colonel Petro Pauri, commander of the carrier-based aircraft wing.
According to the plan, they should have returned after completing the target shooting, but they stayed in the air for nearly half an hour, and when Nathan landed, almost all the fuel in the plane was consumed, which meant that as long as there was any difference in the middle, they could not fly back to the aircraft carrier, losing a valuable carrier-based aircraft, and putting the two pilots in danger.
So, Colonel Petro Bori was dissatisfied.
Now, Nathan's answer was quite domineering, I just did it, this was the inevitable choice at the time, and it was also the tactic we formulated, if we waited until the Soviets' reconnaissance plane flew over to eject the Tomcat fighter, it would be too late, and now, I avoided the risk of being detected for the fleet, and I should be commended.
"Yes." Nathan looked up and replied loudly, which made Colonel Petro Bori even more dissatisfied: "You really take me for a fool? You only found the Soviets' tanker after you flew over, and before that, the target of your attack was the Soviets' AWACS aircraft! Colonel Nathan, I know it's your character, but I want you to know that you're in the U.S. Navy and you have to do your best in the air and you have to do your bidding, and that won't be tolerated, and if that happens again, you'll be kicked out of our wing and go back to your school. ”
"Major Nathan, I've never seen Colonel Petro Bori so angry." Coming out of the room, Lieutenant Gus said to Nathan: "Just now the voice of Colonel Petro Bori was heard by the entire warship. ”
"He's just going to let the whole warship hear it." "It shows his strict impartiality," Nathan said. ”
Nathan wasn't afraid of anything, he liked the atmosphere, yes, it gave him the same feeling.
The army is a place where conspiracies are not spoken, love and hate are clearly the true nature of soldiers, and they have to be scolded when they should be scolded, and if Nathan is in that position, he will also scold his subordinates who do not obey orders, but this scolding is only a tradition in the army, let people know, look, for this kind of behavior, I have punished.
That's enough, this is a kind of protection, at least Nathan can feel the deep meaning, if the other party really wants to drive him away, then he won't scold at all, just report it, how to deal with it.
So, now Nathan was almost humming a ditty and walking back with Gus: "Look, when this drill is over, he should thank me." ”
Thank?
Gus was puzzled, but Nathan was happy in his heart.
I am the first person to fight the MiG-25 at close range, even if it is a reconnaissance type, I will accumulate first-hand information, in this way, it will definitely make many people red-eyed, and run to talk to me about my feelings, experience, speculation.
It seems that I need to prepare a report again, so that someone will always come to me.
Thinking of this, somehow, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of Nathan's eyes.
Where is that beautiful female intelligence officer now? I wonder if the next time I come into contact with myself, will it be this girl?
Forget it, I still do what I am doing now, although I was scolded, the drill is not over yet, what should I do.
Inside the ship's island, Colonel Petro Bori had just finished scolding, and a smile appeared on his face, and at this time, the two pilots had already left.
"It's such a good seedling, when I see them, I seem to think of myself back then." Colonel Petro Bori said to his old partner, Captain Bronch, "They did a beautiful job this time, and if it were me, I would have done it myself." ”
"Petro Bory, pay attention to who you are, you are now the commander of our flying wing, and this is not the time for personal heroism." Bronch said: "Although we value heroes in our films, but in the military, heroism kills people, and if you go off the rails and provoke conflict today, can you take responsibility?" ”
So, Petro Bori stopped talking, yes, he couldn't take on this responsibility, just after the Vietnam War, anti-war sentiment in the United States was quite high, if it really started with the Soviet Union, I don't know how much support there will be.
In all fairness, Nathan didn't resist the order this time, because he didn't give the order himself.
Looking at the endless sea outside, looking at his own fleet on the magnificent sea, Petro Bori didn't know what it was like in his heart, he obviously had the most powerful sea power in the world, but he wanted to be a man with his tail between his legs.
"Report, just been notified that there is a fleet of Soviets coming towards our exercise area and may make visual contact with us tomorrow." Just then, a telegram came.
The Soviets actually sent a fleet, which made the two of them stunned for a moment.
"The commander ordered the two to go to the USS Enterprise." Then a new order came.
The RIMPAC exercise was conducted with two aircraft carriers as the core, and in addition to the Kitty Hawk, the other was the Enterprise.
As the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the United States, the Enterprise has been incorporated into the Pacific Fleet since its maiden voyage in 62 years and has become a treasure in the Pacific Fleet.
And now, the overall leader of this RIMPAC exercise is the deputy commander of the Pacific Fleet, General Maurice F. Visner, who has been on board the Enterprise since the fleet went to sea.
Now, the two need to take a helicopter to the Enterprise and discuss countermeasures with General Morris.
Why did the warships of the Soviets come? This means that our own exercise will face more variables.
Warships are mobile land, and the US Navy's exercise area is the high seas, so logically speaking, the fleet of the Soviets can also come over.
This increases the potential for friction, especially since if a gun catches fire, shooting down an airplane and sinking a battleship will have a completely different consequence, almost the same as going to war.
This must be done with caution.
The helicopter carrying the two people quickly took off from the deck and headed for the nearby aircraft carrier, a scene that was watched by many people.
If on land, when he is bored, Nathan likes to watch the plane take off in the grass next to the runway, but not on the aircraft carrier, the deck is busy and noisy, so when he is bored, he likes to read in the room.
When Gus came over and told him about what had just happened, Nathan just smiled, it seemed that there was something new, and it seemed that it would be more fun.
