Chapter 150: A Bird of Prey Sinking to the Bottom of the Sea

In the US military base stationed in Japan, as early as when Arthur II was hit by Xia Yu, a frigate that was conducting patrol training missions near the base rushed to the area where the incident occurred, preparing to occupy a position for rescue and salvage, but when the frigate arrived at a distance of about 500 kilometers from the incident site, waiting for it were two amphibious landing ships belonging to the Jiangsu aircraft carrier group.

The shouting request for passage was refused, and the frigate originally wanted to rush directly over, but the amphibious landing ship, which had already received the order, did nothing, just shouted that there was an aircraft carrier behind it, and if it was forbidden to pass, it drove directly to the route of the American frigate, blocking the route, either you retreat, or you hit me, and the amphibious landing ship did the job of blocking the frigate.

At the same time, the Jiangsu ship, which had just arrived in the area of the incident, directly dropped anchor at the F22 landing site, and the Arthur 2, which had fallen into the sea, had been fished up by the Jiangsu ship's search and rescue helicopter 5 minutes ago, and was a guest on the Jiangsu ship. And Xia Yu, when the search and rescue helicopter rescued Arthur II, successfully landed the damaged J-31 safely on the flight deck of the Jiangsu ship, and then went directly to the hangar with the J-31 to inspect the aircraft.

"Let the submarine search the bottom of the sea right away." Zhou Qiming, who was refreshed, issued an order from the bridge with a smile: "Be sure to find the wreckage of that F22 as much as possible." ”

With the order given, the three submarines under the water immediately began to conduct sonar surveys on the seabed, and at this moment they were not worried that the active sonar would expose themselves, because there were four other submarines rushing here, and the order of the Navy Command was very clear, that is, to deploy a huge military force in this area to deter the US government.

What has been lost is a high-tech military product of the United States, and the value contained in it is much clearer than China's, and all the staff officers of the General Staff have made it clear that this incident is very likely to form a new confrontation situation, so it is very necessary to maintain the intensity of military deterrence.

Not only should the number of underwater submarines increase, but the Guangdong aircraft carrier squadron, which is rushing over to take over the repairs of the Jiangsu ship, must also form a strategy with the Jiangsu aircraft carrier battle group; in short, it is necessary to assemble a large number of troops in a short period of time so that the US Government cannot act rashly and can only do it secretly.

But no one is sure whether the US Government will be more actively involved in this, because there is already a precedent for such a state of affairs, that is, the incident that caused a sensation throughout the world in that year, when the United States airraided the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia in the name of accidental bombing.

The situation at that time was very similar to the situation now, which was caused by a crashed advanced stealth fighter. The reasons for this are varied, but the U.S. government at the time believed that the wreckage of an F117 Nighthawk shot down by the Serbian army was hidden in the basement of the Chinese Embassy, and intelligence said that Yugoslav President Milosevic was hiding in the Chinese Embassy.

So at 5:45 a.m. Beijing time on May 8, 1999, a B2 stealth bomber that took off from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri dropped five precision-guided bombs, including ground-penetrating bombs, on the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia, directly causing the deaths of three Chinese personnel.

Of course, this is only something on the surface, and later there was news circulating secretly, and there were more than a dozen military technicians who secretly rushed to the basement of the embassy in order to study the wreckage of the F117 Nighthawk. However, a precision-guided missile that ran from the top seven floors to the four underground floors failed and did not explode, so it was intercepted by military technicians, plus the wreckage of the F117 Nighthawk, which made China's missile technology, stealth coating technology and engine technology, etc., at least 20 years forward, and also made China's stealth fighter and other projects progress has been greatly improved.

Many of these messages are circulating, but no one can be sure which of them are true and which are false, except for those responsible and those with sufficient authority. But there is no doubt that the United States launched airstrikes on China's embassy in that war, which bypassed the United Nations.

And now, the value of the F22 is undoubtedly many notches higher than that of the F117 Nighthawk, and whether the Americans will do something incredible for the wreckage of the F22 that is still sinking at the bottom of the sea, no one dares to guarantee it except the US government itself.

So far, the General Staff has decided to make this matter the highest priority, and has reported the relevant information to the chairman of the State Military Commission, that is, the No. 1 chief, which is a major matter, and no one dares to hide it.

At the same time that the top level of the Chinese government began to plan because of this matter, the senior command of the US government was like adding fuel to the fire, and William de Nelson, who was in charge of directing the operation, was immediately relieved of all temporary command and put on standby in the base, which was similar to being placed under house arrest. At the same time, most of the ships of the US military base in Japan, including an aircraft carrier group, have begun to assemble, and all the US GIs have received an emergency assembly order, and the entire combat system has begun to operate efficiently.

A war with China is not in the immediate global plans of the United States, especially with China, a major country that already works closely with the United States economically. Although economic cooperation is very close, political mutual trust between China and the United States has been declining year by year in recent years, not to mention wars between aircraft carrier battle groups, even local conflicts, which can only be controlled within a very small range to avoid causing huge and uncontrollable chain reactions.

However, if many of the core technologies owned by the F22 are obtained by the Chinese government, it will definitely further strengthen China's progress in the aviation manufacturing industry, which is also something that the United States does not want to see.

The fact that the U.S. government cannot conduct overt acts of war does not mean that it cannot use political and military strength to put pressure on the other side, so the U.S. government immediately assembled troops and prepared to put pressure on China's aircraft carrier battle group. However, both the commander-in-chief of the US aircraft carrier battle group and the commander-in-chief of China's two aircraft carrier formations have received orders from the senior commanders of both sides to absolutely not allow the first to open fire and attack.

The kind of secret contest between the governments has nothing to do with Xia Yu, he just followed the maintenance technicians on the Jiangsu ship to dismantle the damaged J-31, because of the collision, it is impossible to ensure that there is nothing wrong with just checking the damage, and the collision in the air is very likely to have problems with the overall structure of the aircraft, so Xia Yu and the technicians not only removed the skin, but also carried out a detailed inspection of the various positions of the aircraft frame.

This inspection immediately revealed a big problem. A section of the main beam in the main frame of the J-31, because of the stress caused by the collision, there was a deviation of about 0.8 mm between the two ends, as well as the very small damage to other parts of the structure, which was very fatal. Although the deviation is not large, it is a hidden killer for fighters who often have to maneuver with high G.

Maybe now this J-31 is still flying and performing tasks normally, but no one dares to guarantee that these small damage will not affect the aircraft, maybe it can fly until retirement without any accidents, but it is more likely that in a certain flight in the future, the aircraft suddenly disintegrated in the air.

patting the bare skeleton of the J-31, Xia Yu shook his head and said: "There are too many hidden damages, and the structure of the left wing and the middle of the fuselage can no longer be used, and it must be completely replaced." ”

The technical engineer on the side also nodded in agreement and said: "That's true, I'll make a record, but you can actually use the wingtips of the wing to cut the F22 in an aerial dogfight, is this a coincidence or did you do it on purpose?" ”

"Of course it's a coincidence, I just accidentally rubbed the other party when I was in an emergency to avoid it." Xia Yu waved his hand with a smile and said: "How can I be so accurate at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour in the air, if I do it on purpose, I won't be a superman?" ”

Of course, Xia Yu can't admit that he deliberately knocked the F22 down, no matter who he is to, the real situation is not allowed to be revealed, because unlike the situation when Su 27 opened the P3B, Xia Yu did a stall this time.

Although the forward axis has not changed, the plane itself is flying up and down, rolling left and right, and then crossing the belly of the F22, and it is impossible for any other pilot to notice the situation outside the plane when doing the roll, let alone controlling the plane so accurately with the wings to cut the belly of the other party, Xia Yu doesn't want to be a guinea pig.

Just when Xia Yu was laughing and talking with the technical engineer, not far behind him, a voice suddenly came: "Xia Yu, the flight commander asked you to go over." ”

PS: Tomorrow the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be two consecutive banquets, one of which I still have to make a cameo appearance as a wedding emcee, and I need to prepare for these two days, so I won't update it for the next three days.
