Liaoning agreed, and was about to cut off communications, when something suddenly came to mind:

"Commander, the true attitude of the USN towards us is still unknown, so there are some things that I need to be cautious about and take precautions.

"First of all, the other party's radar level is not weak, don't show them the J-20 series, don't tell them, we have radar stealth fighters.

"Then, the current state of the USN, most likely, is on the eve of a technological explosion.

"When the F9F-8 America was put into service, the fighters F8U Crusader and F4 Phantom II, the attack aircraft A3 Air Warrior, A4 Skyhawk, and the AWACS E1 Tracker had already begun to be developed and even flown test.

"If their current stage of development is similar to the historical trajectory, in the next few years, various new technologies and new equipment of the USN Command will emerge one after another, and the combat effectiveness will also be rapidly improved.

"However, it should also be in the exploration stage, and the development direction of many equipment is not clear.

"And all kinds of mature technologies and equipment that we are using now, which have been tested by the times, especially various aircraft, may become a reference for the USN.

"So, some of our equipment, don't show them for the time being.

"After watching the J-15, they may have identified the direction and accelerated the development of the second generation of the F4 Ghost, and after watching the shock, God knows if they will start planning the F14 Tomcat in advance."

Mu Feng listened and nodded slowly, F14 has been preparing for 62 years:

"You have a point, so what can we show them? You can't keep it all a secret, can you? ”

Liaoning pondered for a while:

"If the commander simply doesn't want to be used as a reference template, he can keep the senior fighters secret and only show them the silver fox.

"If the commander has a bad taste, he can be guided in the wrong direction in a casual way.

"For example, a large-scale command like ours, in this oceanic archipelago environment, what is really needed is a heavy aircraft with a long range.

"But we can show them a full-fledged light fighter, such as an upgraded version of the Sable, which belongs to the 3.5th generation aircraft 'Snow Leopard'.

"And don't explain to them, this plane is powerful with radar and flight control, just tell them that it is fast and has strong multi-purpose capabilities."

Mu Feng opened his mouth, his expression was a little complicated, this was deliberately bringing people into the ditch.

J-9 Snow Leopard, like the original J-5 Silver Fox and J-7 Sable, just has the name of J-9, and has nothing to do with the original J-9 project, and of course there is nothing in common in appearance.

The J-9 Snow Leopard, a fully upgraded version of the J-7 Sable, replaces the turbofan 19 vector engine and obtains greater thrust and stronger maneuverability.

Phased array radar was installed, avionics radar system was upgraded, and it almost reached the level of a fourth-generation aircraft.

With a length of 15 meters and a wingspan of less than 10 meters, it is not much larger than a World War II propeller, and its cruising speed is approaching Mach 1 and its ultimate speed is approaching Mach 2.

The airframe is highly agile, very capable of fighting, and capable of carrying medium-range air-to-air missiles.

Show this thing to USN, I don't know if they can continue to develop a small machine.

The key is that it is estimated that they will not be able to make radar, avionics, and flight control systems at this level at all, and they are likely to get into a dead end.

Mu Feng felt that what Liaoning said made sense, and the two quickly reached an agreement:

"I understand, then you are the same, don't specifically remind them, we have fighters that can stealth the radar, and don't take out the J-15 if necessary."

Liaoning nodded in agreement, and the two discussed and set the tone, and cut off the communication.

On Saratoga's side, the main purpose of the group is to observe and understand the situation of the Mufeng Command.

So now that I have contacted Liaoning, I took the initiative to continue to keep in touch, and proposed that I hope to meet on the sea tomorrow.

Liaoning did not refuse, and agreed on tomorrow's route and meeting place, as well as contact information.

Early the next morning, Liaoning got up as usual, and when it was time to eat breakfast, he replaced the flying bear and jinghong that he usually placed on the deck with a J-9 snow leopard.

The size of this aircraft is very small, there are dozens of planes on the deck, Liaoning's current hangar and overtime, if this aircraft is fully equipped, it can be equipped with 120 planes.

According to the radar signals of the ocean-going carriers, the USN fleet is less than 300 kilometers away from the carriers.

Therefore, Liaoning did not send early warning aircraft to reconnoiter the sea area ahead on its own, as usual, but handed over this work to the accompanying modified aircraft carriers.

They also have a small AWACS air police 5 designed by the Yuanwang 7, although the efficiency is not as good as the air police 700 used in Liaoning and Guangdong, but it is enough to be used as a reconnaissance aircraft.

Liaoning itself, along with the top brass of the other commands, waited in the open-air café of the ocean-going carrier.

According to Liaoning's requirements, the modified aircraft carriers did not deliberately avoid the other side's reconnaissance planes this time.

Specially lowered the altitude slightly, caught up with the TBM-3W reconnaissance plane of the Essex-class aircraft carrier Hancock, and then took the initiative to say hello to the other party.

While Hancock responded immediately, he also carefully observed the several AWACS aircraft he saw.

Of course, she did not know that this was an AWACS aircraft, but only thought it was an ordinary reconnaissance aircraft.

On the side of the Mufeng Command, because of the use of conformal antenna technology, the fleet's early warning aircraft will no longer carry radar plates, and they look like slightly fatter propeller aircraft.

Hancock took some pictures of Air Police 5 and passed them on to the other key members of the mission:

"Is this the other side's reconnaissance plane? It's just an ordinary propeller plane, and I don't see anything unusual at all, not even a radar pod...... Wait, what's that......"

At this time, Hancock's F9F fighter flew dozens of kilometers in front of the ocean-going carrier, and Hancock directly saw the outline of the ocean-going carrier through the fighter's field of vision.

Looking at the ocean-going carrier that was quickly pulled in, looking at the huge hull, and looking at the facilities and equipment on the hull, Hancock's mouth slowly opened wide:

"This ...... This...... It's an ocean liner! But this size ...... It's too big, it has to be 100,000 tons! 100,000 tons of ocean liners, oh my God!

"And what about the facilities up there, which are the gardens, the café, the courts, and the vegetable patches? Is this a cruise ship for ocean exploration? That's too extravagant, isn't it? ”

The USN's own ocean-going exploration fleet uses 10,000-ton ocean-going transport ships, with two for each fleet to protect each other, which already feels quite luxurious.

Hancock only now realizes that he was a piece of cake.

Of course, what Hancock didn't know was that there was only one ocean-going carrier of this level in Mu Feng's house, which was originally built as a mobile military port, so it would be so exaggerated.
