Above the vast blue waves of the South China Sea, a majestic warship cleaved the waves. The pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info silver-white paint, and the bow side is painted with white paint on the side of the ship's gunboard 17, which is the first surface aircraft carrier built by country C, the Shandong.

In the center of the battle, a dreamy and colorful battlefield situation holographic sand table was appearing in front of the fleet commanders, and the captain Lu Zhinian stood there silently, watching an island rise from the sand table on the holographic sand table.

He spoke, "Azie, send the real-time satellite imagery. ”

"Yes, Comrade Captain." Ace is the shipboard core artificial intelligence on the Shandong, and it uses B-level artificial intelligence, which is also the artificial intelligence that country C cannot produce on its own at this stage.

Although the technical level of the Shandong as a sea warship is not very high, it is comparable to some starships in terms of avionics system. In particular, the powerful data processing capability combined with the AI of the battleship Aqi can improve its combat effectiveness several times.

A two-dimensional high-definition 3D picture appeared in front of Lu Zhinian, and the projection imaging technology of the war center can ensure that Aqi can present any two-dimensional picture and holographic picture in any corner.

Lu Zhinian saw patches of coconut trees and various tropical vegetation, the seaside is a city full of science fiction, all kinds of buildings have the beauty of industrial design, like glass and metal, curves and broken lines are alternated, and even the road signs on the road are clearly visible.

He nodded and didn't continue to speak. The fleet staff officers and other officers who were also looking at this scene were amazed.

"It's really a complete island, even a city, and it looks like it's very developed."

"I can't imagine that half an hour ago there was a sea and we were driving there in the morning."

After the surprise, the group of officers could not suppress the excitement in their hearts at this time. The Nansha Islands have become Nansha Island, and there are also extremely advanced developed cities on it, this island is expected to accommodate a population of 50 million, and can directly live a very comfortable Starlink standard resident life.

When everyone was still immersed in what kind of changes this island would bring to Country C and the Star Alliance, Lu Zhinian's brows furrowed first, he waved his hand and pointed, and his five fingers were released to enlarge a corner of the holographic sand table, and at this time, Ache's voice also sounded: "The USS Johnstennis aircraft carrier battle group is sailing in the direction of Nansha Island, and it is estimated that it will enter the territorial waters of Nansha Island in 4 hours." ”

Luo Qifeng, the political commissar of Shandong, was a little surprised, and said: "Mi Guoyan really has the courage to do this?" ”

Lu Zhinian still looked cold, and said: "Chief of Communications, use the public channel to send a message to the Johns, asking it to stay away from the temporary no-sail zone set by our country, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts. ”

The communicator shouted yes, grabbed the communicator, and shouted in English and Chinese. The Shandong's friendly communications are quantum communications, while the radio communications retained on the ship are used to contact the armies of other countries.

After a while, the other party sent back a message: "Our ship refuses to recognize the illegal no-sail zone, and our ship will pass through this sea area freely and harmlessly in accordance with the principle of international law operation and freedom of navigation." ”

Rocky sneered, "Let's not say whether we will intercept them, if they really want to pass, then their ship will either fly or run on land." ”

Lu Zhinian was still calm and said, "Shout every ten minutes." ”

The chief of communications nodded yes.

On board the USS John Stennis, Formation Commander Curtis? Ma Jintuo did not have Lu Zhinian's calmness at this time. He had no idea what was happening in the South China Sea, and he had been instructed by PACOM to carry out a "freedom of navigation" mission in the South China Sea to demonstrate the presence of lighthouse states in East Asia, give confidence to allies, and restore the lighthouse states' declining position in the world.

The captain of the Stennis, Kirkran, looked worried, and said to Makinto: "Commander, although we are on a mission of innocent passage, in order to show our peace, our formation has not taken off and landed any super wasps to escort us, which puts our air defense under serious pressure, and if the enemy attacks us, we may be caught off guard." ”

Makinto glanced at Kirkland and said, "Could it be that after the Super Hornet takes off, our air defense can rest easy?"

Kirkland was speechless, but it was a very obvious thing. The current lighthouse country navy and aircraft carriers are no longer invincible across the ocean. Country C has joined the Star Alliance, and its military strength has been comprehensively improved. Although they are not clear about how much the current military strength of country C has improved, some news about the military of country C that has been circulating on the Internet is enough to make them shudder.

Any Iridium sends an identity flying machine, it's not something that Super Wasp can deal with. So what is the big difference between sending planes and not sending planes?

Makinto said very realistically: "Our navy, the enemy now is no longer the navy of country C. To pick an opponent that we can't possibly defeat, we're not stupid enough to be like the IJN of World War II. Our opponents are all countries other than country C, countries that seek to question and subvert our sea power. The affairs of country C are not something we can participate in, but other countries think that this represents the decline of the United States, and that is very wrong. ”

The navy of country C kept shouting, and Makinto and Kirkland also heard it very clearly, and their side also kept saying the same thing in return to the people of country C, and the two sides shouted to each other without nutrition and creativity.

It was at this time that Maquinto received a message from the command of the Pacific Fleet: "...... Commander, we have found unusual geological activity and some very strange signals at nearby observatories, all from within the no-sail zone set up by the people of Country C. Our spy satellite suddenly ran into a malfunction and could not work, and we need you to send a reconnaissance plane to conduct reconnaissance in the no-fly zone. ”

Ma Jinto raised some worries in his heart, but after thinking about it, if only the plane was sent through, with the attitude of the people of country C, there should not be a direct conflict, and the two sides might carry out expulsion and anti-expulsion flights, but as long as the carrier-based aircraft of the lighthouse country flew into the no-sail zone, it would be good to be able to collect some intelligence, and there was no need to entangle with the military aircraft of country C.

After thinking it through, Makinto ordered the Air Wing to send Super Hornet carrier-based fighters, and in order to be safe, he sent two batches at once, each with a total of 4 fighters, capable of covering and supporting each other.

On the aircraft carrier, the Super Hornet took off one after another and flew to the area in the north where they had not yet received any information.
